Add OpenAIAdapter for the OpenAI chat completions API (apikey-chatgpt.txt or OPENAI_API_KEY). Set default model to arcee-ai/trinity-large-preview:free for the infospace pipeline and increase max_tokens from 4096 to 8192. Reprocess chapter 05 with Trinity Large (was Gemini: 1 truncated entity, now 19 complete entities). Process chapters 06 (Aurora Alpha, 10 entities) and 07 (Trinity Large, 15 entities including regenerated violent-policy.md). Canonical set now at 85 unique entities. Add entity archive policy: entities are never silently deleted. Retired entities move to output/entities/archive/ with a dated reason header. New CLI option: --archive-entity <slug> --reason "...". The --list output shows the archive count alongside the canonical set. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

**Definition**
|

A principal clerk is a senior administrative officer who oversees the inspection and direction labour in large manufacturing enterprises. His wages represent the value of managerial supervision and are often the primary recipient of the profit component in such enterprises.

Smith mentions the principal clerk when describing “many great works” where “the whole labour of this kind is committed to some principal clerk.” He notes that the clerk’s wages express the value of inspection and direction labour.
