+### Steerwish Management
+
+A steerwish is a declared outcome the system holds and tends: one measured
+value, a band, guardrails, and (optionally) a rescue budget. Omitted budget
+means upkeep indefinitely; omitted regime means standing.
+
+#### Declare a Steerwish
+
+Create a wish file `steerwish.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+outcome: "chainend.shift"
+band:
+  lo: -0.14
+  hi: -0.06
+  target: -0.10    # receipt and reporting only - the judge needs only the band
+limits:
+  exclude: []      # param names that may not be moved at all
+  maxChange: 0.5   # no input ends further than half its range from neutral
+budget: 2          # re-acts after drift; omit for unbounded upkeep
+regime: standing   # the only regime today
+```
+
+Then declare it:
+
+```bash
+godon_cli wish declare --file steerwish.yaml
+```
+
+#### List Steerwishes
+
+```bash
+godon_cli wish list
+```
+
+#### Show a Steerwish (with full event history)
+
+```bash
+godon_cli wish show --id 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
+```
+
+#### Close a Steerwish
+
+```bash
+godon_cli wish close --id 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
+```
