You open a questionnaire-driven matter, answer the formation questions at the terminal, and download the same artifact a
browser walk produces — the one you review before the lawyer-gated filing. notation create starts the
nv__llc_formation Notation and prints its notation id. intake answer then walks the formation questionnaire one
question at a time — the entity name, the registered agent, whether the company is member-managed or manager-managed,
and the managing members entered row by row (a blank name ends the list). Answer it interactively, or script it with
repeated --answer and --person flags. notation status reports the workflow state and whether the packet has
already been rendered, then notation approve parks the filled packet, and notation document writes the PDF to
--out. AIDA fills the state's official form from the answers — it never invents one — and the matter ends at the same
lawyer-gated filing__nv_sos step a browser walk reaches: you file with the Secretary of State; Neon Law Navigator
never files for you.
This whole command-line round-trip is covered by an automated test that drives the real navigator binary and checks
the downloaded bytes are the official packet carrying the founder's answers. The pipeline behind the fill — vendoring
the canonical form, mapping answers to its fields, and the lawyer-gated filing that ends it — is laid out step by step
in Government forms: vendor, map, fill, file.
