+
+Demonstrates the typed-extension framework end-to-end. A page may carry a leading in-text
+frontmatter block (`---` … `---`, `key: value` lines — git-diffable structure, blueprint T12).
+With this extension **active**, the engine:
+
+- **ON_WRITE** validates the structured block (optionally against an allowed-field set) — a
+  malformed/disallowed structured page is rejected; the body is otherwise unchanged
+  (content-preserving, so write conformance holds);
+- **ON_READ** tags such pages as `PageShape.TYPED_RECORD`;
+- **ON_PROFILE** raises the shard's profile with the `structured-payload` verb (E-5).
+
+With the extension **inactive**, the kernel treats the same page as opaque prose — the feature
+is genuinely absent (honest profile). This is "activate only what you need" in action.
