# Excavate

Open `references/archaeology.md`. Then `references/language-agnostic.md`.

Dowsing surveys. Jail hunts one manual heading. Judgment refuses "I modernized

it" as DONE.

Probe = whatever command the recovered unit answers to. Not pytest-by-default.

`scripts/emperor excavate` works as an alias for the identify survey.
