+## Quick Start
+
+1. Ensure you have a Fastify app with @fastify/swagger registered.
+2. Add behavioral contracts to your route schemas using \`x-ensures\`.
+3. Run: apophis verify --profile quick
+
+## What This Preset Does
+
+- Runs only behavioral contracts (not schema-only routes).
+- No chaos, no observe, no stateful testing.
+- Safe for CI pipelines.
+- Timeout: 5s per route.
+
+## Example Behavioral Contract
+
+Add this inside your route schema to check that a created resource is retrievable:
+
+\`\`\`javascript
+"x-ensures": [
+  "response_code(GET /users/{response_body(this).id}) == 200"
+]
+\`\`\`
+
+If \`apophis verify\` says "No behavioral contracts found", it means your routes have schemas but no \`x-ensures\` or \`x-requires\` clauses. Add at least one clause per route you want to verify.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Add more routes to the \`routes\` array in your profile.
+- Try \`apophis init --preset platform-observe\` for production readiness.
+- Try \`apophis init --preset protocol-lab\` for multi-step flows.

+## What This Preset Does
+
+- Enables observe mode for production readiness checks.
+- Validates non-blocking semantics and sink configuration.
+- Parallel execution for faster feedback.
+- Requires sink config in staging/production.

+## Safety
+
+- Observe mode is non-blocking by default.
+- Production requires explicit policy to enable blocking.
+- Chaos is disabled in this preset.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Add a sink configuration to your environment policy.
+- Run \`apophis doctor\` to validate the full setup.

+## What This Preset Does
+
+- Ultra-minimal preset for LLM-generated codebases.
+- 3s timeout per route (fast feedback).
+- No observe, no qualify, no chaos — verify only.
+- Conservative defaults to avoid surprising failures.
+
+## Example Behavioral Contract
+
+Add this inside your route schema to check that a created resource is retrievable:
+
+\`\`\`javascript
+"x-ensures": [
+  "response_code(GET /users/{response_body(this).id}) == 200"
+]
+\`\`\`
+
+If \`apophis verify\` says "No behavioral contracts found", it means your routes have schemas but no \`x-ensures\` or \`x-requires\` clauses. Add at least one clause per route you want to verify.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Add routes to the \`routes\` array once you have behavioral contracts.
+- Run \`apophis doctor\` to check for missing dependencies.

+# APOPHIS Setup — protocol-lab preset
+
+This project was scaffolded with \`apophis init --preset protocol-lab\`.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. Ensure you have a Fastify app with @fastify/swagger registered.
+2. Define multi-step flows in your route schemas.
+3. Run: apophis qualify --profile oauth-nightly --seed 42
+
+## What This Preset Does
+
+- Enables qualify mode for stateful and scenario testing.
+- Chaos engineering enabled (local/test only).
+- Deep depth for thorough exploration.
+- 15s timeout per route.
+
+## Safety
+
+- Chaos is blocked in production by default.
+- Use \`apophis doctor\` to validate environment safety before qualifying.
+
+## Machine Output in CI
+
+Qualify can produce large output. In CI, use machine-readable formats and filter events:
+
+- \`--format json\` emits a single stable JSON artifact (good for small-to-medium runs).
+- \`--format ndjson\` emits one event per line (good for streaming parsers).
+- Use \`--quiet\` to suppress human progress text.
+- Pipe ndjson to \`jq\` or a custom filter to extract only failures:
+  \`\`\`bash
+  apophis qualify --profile oauth-nightly --format ndjson | jq 'select(.type == "route.failed")'
+  \`\`\`
+- For very large runs, consider writing artifacts to a directory and parsing the JSON file instead of stdout:
+  \`\`\`bash
+  apophis qualify --profile oauth-nightly --format json --artifact-dir reports/apophis
+  \`\`\`
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Define scenario sequences in your config.
+- Add route allowlists for chaos if needed.
+- Run \`apophis replay --artifact <path>\` to debug failures.

+ * - Support --dry-run (show rewrites without writing) - DEFAULT
+ * - Support --write (perform rewrites)

+ * - Exit 0 if nothing to migrate, 2 if issues found, 1 if --write performed
+ * - Mixed legacy/modern config detection with clear reporting
+ * - Exact dry-run output with file path, line number, legacy text, replacement text
+ * - Ambiguous rewrite handling with surrounding context and possible resolutions
+ * - Safe by default: dry-run is the default mode

+ * Architecture:

+ * - enum (small) → response_body(this).field == "a" || response_body(this).field == "b"
+ *
+ * Not inferred (leave to x-ensures for business logic):
