 ## What the examples show
 
+The examples are designed to tell coherent end-to-end stories. The original example set catalogs, governs, transforms, and releases a personal health dataset within an agent session. Newer SourceOS examples show a SourceOS Workstation artifact flowing from content intent through overlays, build request, release manifest, evidence bundle, catalog entry, and access profile. The control-plane examples add the local-first lifecycle proof path: a `ReleaseSet` assigned to an M2 demo device, a `BootReleaseSet` for the recovery/provisioning lane, an `EnrollmentToken` authorizing one-time recovery access, and a `Fingerprint` reporting the realized post-apply state.
 The examples are designed to tell a coherent end-to-end story: a personal health dataset is catalogued, governed, transformed by an obfuscation workload, and released — all within an agent session. They share cross-reference URNs so you can trace the full lifecycle.
 
 The example set now also includes shell/document/publication objects so the same storyline can extend into artifact derivation, signing, validation, annotation export, run reporting, publish decisions, and mirror receipts.
