-## 2.5. Conventions & Build Logic
+## 3.4. Conventions & Build Logic
 
 - **Hook Ordering**: Numeric prefixes (`0000_…` → `99xx_…`) strictly determine execution sequencing within `config/hooks/live/`. Early hooks establish base state (initramfs modules, checksums), mid-range hooks integrate security services (AppArmor, Chrony/NTPsec, Lynis, UFW, Fail2Ban, SSH auditing), late hooks enforce hardening and cleanup (SSH tightening, memory-dump policies, service disablement).
 - **Binary vs. Chroot Includes**: Assets under `includes.binary/` affect the ISO’s bootloader stage; `includes.chroot/` become part of the runtime filesystem.
 - **Architecture Scoping**: Package lists are split into `*amd64*`, `*arm64*`, and `*common*` to keep images minimal and deterministic.
 - **CI/CD**: Reproducible ISO builds are executed via Gitea workflows; dedicated `trigger/` manifests parameterize public vs. private images and auxiliary rendering jobs (e.g., DNSSEC status, Graphviz diagrams).
