Generated footer ownership is the rule that Sirno mutates only the guard-bounded region.

The opening and closing sentinels are part of the owned region.
Commands that create, replace, check, or delete rendered generated links validate that region first.
Malformed, missing, duplicated, or reversed sentinels are structural errors.

Prose outside the generated-link region remains user-owned.
Mutating render commands preserve that prose.
A *frost* commit removes generated-link regions before writing snapshots,
so the frost layer keeps canonical metadata and prose rather than navigation projections.
