 ## resources/ — records, transactions, tables, blobs, audit
 
-- [resources/MAP.md](resources/MAP.md) — Where things are in `resources/`: files, concepts, symbols.
 - [Full-text declarations and reader snapshots](resources/DESIGN.md#full-text-declarations-and-reader-snapshots) — Declarations are not attributes; one reader lease per search.
 - [A bare nullish id is never a collection target](resources/DESIGN.md#a-bare-nullish-id-is-never-a-collection-target-for-get-or-delete) — `get`/`delete` of a bare `null` id is a 400 · [A primitive-id static get skips instance dispatch only behind its gate](resources/DESIGN.md#a-primitive-id-static-get-skips-instance-dispatch-only-behind-its-gate) — New instance-get hooks join the gate.
 - [An audit record carries two clocks](resources/DESIGN.md#an-audit-record-carries-two-clocks-identity-is-nodeid-log-key-never-a-version) — Identity is (nodeId, log key); refs state their kind; `FULL_WRITE_HEAD`; equal versions order by origin.
