Acquire Codebase Knowledge

Produces seven populated documents in docs/codebase/ covering everything needed to work effectively on the project. Only document what is verifiable from files or terminal output — never infer or assume.

Output Contract (Required)

Before finishing, all of the following must be true:

Exactly these files exist in docs/codebase/: STACK.md, STRUCTURE.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, CONVENTIONS.md, INTEGRATIONS.md, TESTING.md, CONCERNS.md.

Every claim is traceable to source files, config, or terminal output.

Unknowns are marked as [TODO]; intent-dependent decisions are marked [ASK USER].

Every document includes a short "evidence" list with concrete file paths.

Final response includes numbered [ASK USER] questions and intent-vs-reality divergences.
