+## Framework-independent envelope identity routing
+
+Hosts can inspect the bounded identity of a complete document envelope before
+selecting their own version-specific migration path:
+
+```ts
+import {
+  inspectDocumentEnvelopeIdentity,
+  inspectDocumentEnvelopeIdentityBytes,
+} from '@contextualwisdomlab/cwl-editor/envelope-identity';
+
+const identity = inspectDocumentEnvelopeIdentity(untrustedEnvelope);
+routeMigration(identity.schemaId, identity.schemaVersion);
+```
+
+The inspectors validate a complete bounded input and return routing metadata only:
+`schemaId` and a positive safe-integer `schemaVersion`. They never return
+`documentJson`, accept an unknown document generation as current Inkspan
+semantics, execute a migration, authorize access, or prove durable persistence.
+Use `inspectDocumentEnvelopeIdentityBytes()` when the source is strict UTF-8
+bytes. Migration selection and execution remain a host-owned migration
+responsibility, and migrated output must pass Inkspan's strict current-schema
+parser before it can become canonical editor state. See
+[`docs/document-envelope.md`](docs/document-envelope.md) and
+[`docs/doctoring/envelope-identity-routing.md`](docs/doctoring/envelope-identity-routing.md).
