Schema:
- default_tool: string (tool name served at this dir's no-slash URL)
- auto_own: *bool (mkdir post-hook auto-grants the creator)
- virtual: *bool (never materialise on disk; aggregator routes)
defaults.zddc.yaml: populated with the full canonical convention via
paths:. Top-level "*" matches any project; nested archive/working/
staging/reviewing declare the project-stage tools; archive's "*" /
mdl|incoming|received|issued tree declares the per-party surfaces.
All four party folders and all four project-root folders get their
default_tool; working / staging / archive/<party>/incoming get
auto_own; reviewing / archive/<party>/mdl get virtual. None of these
need on-disk dirs to exist.
Lookups (zddc/internal/zddc/lookups.go):
DefaultToolAt(root, dir) → cascade-resolved default tool name
AutoOwnAt(root, dir) → does mkdir auto-own here?
VirtualAt(root, dir) → never materialise on disk?
IsDeclaredPath(root, dir) → does the cascade say anything about this dir?
ChildrenDeclaredAt(root, dir)→ literal child names declared by Paths
Each looks up via EffectivePolicy → leaf level → Embedded fallback,
so operators' on-disk overrides win and the embedded baseline carries
the convention.
Tests cover the embedded convention, operator overrides, and
inherit:false blocking the embedded layer. No consumer migration yet
— that's Phase 3b. Behaviour is bit-identical for current callers
since none of them consult the new lookups.
