Document durable decision ownership policy - #303
Conversation
Summary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAGENTS.md adds a “Durable Decision Discipline” section. It requires canonical records for durable decisions, explicit ownership and status, related-document links, documentation routing, and updates when decisions change. Missing or stale canonical documentation is defined as incomplete engineering work. ChangesDurable Decision Discipline
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The policy currently gives conflicting guidance about where its canonical documentation belongs, which could lead contributors to update different sources and create inconsistent process instructions. Resolve the ownership and routing ambiguity before merging. Poem

Give this policy one canonical owner.
This new section is workflow policy, but Line 86 assigns workflow policy to docs/method/. The existing Structure section already names docs/method/process.md as the canonical cycle workflow. The added text does not identify AGENTS.md as an exception or link to a docs/method/ owner. This creates two possible canonical homes and conflicts with the one-owner rule in Lines 75-82.
Move the durable policy to a canonical docs/method/ document and link it from AGENTS.md, or explicitly make AGENTS.md the owner and revise the docs/method/ assignment. Update the documentation router in the same change.

This commit introduces the durable-decision process only in AGENTS.md, even though the new rule requires such decisions to be recorded in the same change and explicitly assigns workflow policy to docs/method/. Because no method document is updated, the commit's central policy is immediately absent from its declared canonical owner; add it to the appropriate docs/method/ document and leave only a link or agent-specific enforcement here.

Declaring docs/jim-component-ownership.md the sole owner of target ownership leaves a second normative ownership definition in ARCHITECTURE.md under Target Ownership (lines 40–62), including detailed Jim, Edict, Echo, and Graft responsibility rules. That directly defeats the newly required link-instead-of-copy discipline and allows the two documents to diverge; replace the competing architecture section with a routed summary/link or explicitly narrow which document owns each rule.
