Nothing in the layer names it. Backlinks are derived, so an empty list is an answer rather than an omission.

210. The sentence that says what Majordomus is has one declaration, and every surface reads it

Context

docs/HARDCODING_LEDGER.yaml row product-sentence-has-two-wordings records three wordings (marketing.toml hero, README bold line and lead, project.json tagline grepped from README) and waits for one decision: which wording is the declaration. The owner ordered on 2026-10-13 that the landing page reflect and derive the positioning, and the hero was rewritten on 2026-10-16 (I2745).

Decision

The declaration lives in the site copy the homepage already reads (site/data/marketing.toml); README's bold line, page titles, Open Graph descriptions and the launch kit are projections of it or are refused by homepage-check when they differ. The wording itself is the owner's.

Alternatives rejected

README as the declaration (the site greps it today)
Leaving each surface its own wording

Consequences

I3134 and I3135 implement it; the ledger row closes.
