+** TODO [#B] Document rulesets + claude-templates pull-before-project ordering in protocols.org
+
+Startup currently pulls claude-templates in Phase A.0 and fast-forwards the
+project repo, but the rulesets repo (=~/code/rulesets/=) isn't pulled at all
+-- rule changes there don't reach the agent without a manual pull. The
+ordering and the "resolve any issues before proceeding" expectation also live
+in =startup.org= rather than =protocols.org= (the single entry point).
+
+Required ordering: rulesets first, then claude-templates, then local project.
+Resolve dirty-tree / merge issues at each step before moving on. Goal: every
+session starts against the freshest behavioral rules and workflow templates,
+not a stale local snapshot.
+
+Changes needed:
+1. Add a rulesets pull step to =startup.org= Phase A.0, mirroring the
+   existing claude-templates ff-only pull logic.
+2. State the ordering and the "resolve before proceeding" rule early in
+   =protocols.org= itself, not buried in a workflow file.
