Post-merge code review of the Guides chain (#34#43) surfaced three technical inaccuracies, each verified against ../coven source:

  1. set-up-memory claimed coven memory reads through the daemon API and could fail with a connection error. It is an in-process read (observe.rs api_getapi::handle_request; api.rs routes GET /memory to cockpit_sources::scan_memory) — matches cli/observe.mdx ("work without a running daemon"). Dropped the daemon prerequisite and replaced the impossible troubleshooting bullet with a COVEN_HOME mismatch check.
  2. install-and-first-run + connect-a-harness pinned doctor output as (built-in); the CLI prints (built-in adapter) (main.rs adapter_source_label, confirmed on v0.1.6).
  3. upgrade-coven told users to expect "the new covenVersion" from /api/v1/health — released builds always report 0.0.0 (crate version). Verification now rests on ok + apiVersion, with coven --version (Step 2) as the version check.

Validation: check-guides-docs, english-only, no-leading-h1, terminology, validate-links — all green.

- set-up-memory: coven memory is an in-process read of ~/.coven
  (observe.rs api_get -> api::handle_request), not a daemon API call;
  drop the daemon prerequisite and the impossible connection-error
  troubleshooting bullet
- install-and-first-run, connect-a-harness: doctor prints
  '(built-in adapter)' (main.rs adapter_source_label), not '(built-in)'
- upgrade-coven: released builds report covenVersion 0.0.0 (crate
  version), so verify upgrades via ok + apiVersion, not covenVersion

Pull request overview

Fixes a few post-merge technical inaccuracies in the Guides docs to better match current CLI/daemon behavior and expected outputs.

Changes:

  • Adjusts upgrade verification guidance to rely on ok + apiVersion (and coven --version), not covenVersion from health.
  • Updates memory guide prerequisites/troubleshooting to reflect that coven memory works without a running daemon.
  • Corrects pinned coven doctor output label from (built-in) to (built-in adapter) in relevant guides.

## Prerequisites

- The Coven CLI installed and the daemon running — `coven memory` reads through the daemon API; see [Set up the daemon](/docs/guides/set-up-the-daemon).
- The Coven CLI installed — `coven memory` reads `~/.coven` directly and works without a running daemon; see [Install and first run](/docs/guides/install-and-first-run).
