<!-- VERA_OPENAI_ONBOARDING_BEGIN -->
Onboarding is optional. Continue ordinary professional work immediately,
including direct specialist invocation, without checking or completing a local
onboarding profile. Missing, unfinished, inaccessible or corrupt onboarding state,
or unavailable voice/window controls, must never block ordinary work. Do not
automatically start, resume or repeatedly offer onboarding.
Only for a user-requested tutorial or a native teaching handoff, read
`../vera/references/local-onboarding.md`. A verified paired lesson worker
executes only its bound lesson and token; never bypass tutorial validation.
Tutorial profiles, progress, examples and feedback remain local; never send a
change request, stamp a tutorial receipt or call hosted interviews for a tutorial.
Current user requests take precedence over saved preferences.

# Journal Sampling

For a Geneva (CH-GE) mandate, read `../vera/references/localization/geneva.md` first and use this existing function’s Geneva adaptation in its resolved component skill. Language alone never selects jurisdiction.


After substantive use of this workflow, read and follow the `Plugin Improvement Feedback` section in `../vera/SKILL.md`.

In local Codex, use a prepared and started customer-folder run bound to one
exact immutable journal receipt. Finalize every output with purpose and
audience. The normalized population, diagnostics, and exact sample are separate
upstream artifacts. Start Vouching through
`start_check_entries_from_sample`; Studio Archive resolves those internal
artifacts and Vouching checks only the sample rows.

Resolve `../../modules/journal-sampling` from this skill directory when it
exists; otherwise resolve `../../../journal-sampling` in the repository. Read
that module's `skills/journal-sampling/SKILL.md` completely and follow it. Treat
the resolved module root as the plugin working directory for all commands.
