+/**
+ * WintermuteGreenfieldSource — one-shot bulk importer for the v0.41
+ * wintermute → gbrain epistemology migration.
+ *
+ * @one-shot — this module is intentionally long-lived after the
+ * single production migration completes. Per D10, future similar
+ * migrations (other downstream agents, brain merges, schema-pack
+ * upgrades) reuse the migration-mode IngestionSource pattern shipped
+ * here. Deleting the working example is short-sighted.
+ *
+ * Migration semantics (per T2, codex outside-voice challenge): bulk
+ * historical replay needs PERMANENT slug-keyed idempotency, NOT a 24h
+ * trickle dedup window. mode: 'migration' on this source signals the
+ * daemon's handleEmit branch to bypass DedupWindow.mark(); we own dedup
+ * via the imported_from frontmatter marker + op_checkpoint (which the
+ * caller wires via gbrain capture --source wintermute-greenfield).
+ *
+ * Walk:
+ *   - ~/git/brain/atoms/{YYYY-MM-DD}/*.md (~13K files, atoms)
+ *   - ~/git/brain/concepts/*.md (~11K files, concepts)
+ *   - ~/git/brain/ideas/*.md (small set, idea pages)
+ *
+ * Per file:
+ *   1. Read content, split frontmatter via gray-matter
+ *   2. Validate the frontmatter has required `type:` (atom/concept/idea/etc)
+ *   3. Stamp imported_from='wintermute-greenfield' in frontmatter
+ *      (downstream extract_atoms + synthesize_concepts phases skip on
+ *      this marker per D7 — lossless import with provenance, no
+ *      re-extraction)
+ *   4. Preserve all other original frontmatter under metadata.
+ *      original_frontmatter
+ *   5. Emit IngestionEvent
+ *
+ * Per-row validation failure:
+ *   - Append a JSONL line to ~/.gbrain/audit/wintermute-greenfield-failures-
+ *     YYYY-Www.jsonl with {path, error, ts} per D12
+ *   - Continue with remaining files (don't fail-fast on one bad row)
+ *
+ * CLI activation: gbrain capture --source wintermute-greenfield
+ *   --repo ~/git/brain [--dry-run] [--limit N]
+ *
+ * The --repo path is the brain directory containing atoms/, concepts/,
+ * ideas/. Defaults to ~/git/brain when omitted.
