00 — Authority

Status

AUTHORITY_CONTRACT=REQUIRED

Authority

Primary authority is the repository on canonical branch main.

Read and apply, in order of role rather than by blindly overriding specialized contracts:

AGENTS.md: global agent obligations and repository limits.
docs/product/product_definition.md: final product destination.
specialized docs/architecture/**: acquired scientific, persistence, runtime, identity and resource contracts.
docs/roadmap/roadmap.md: lifecycle and current sequencing.
README.md and docs/README.md: current navigation and summary.
historical audits/tags/checkpoints: evidence for their own checkpoint only.
executable code/schema: authority when exact APIs, constants, DDL or runtime behavior are being quoted.

CURRENT

The canonical working branch is main.

CANONICAL_WORKING_BRANCH=main
CURRENT_STATE_AUTHORITY=main
OTHER_BRANCHES_ARE_NOT_AUTHORITY

FROZEN

A specialized PASS/FROZEN contract is not superseded by this prompt tree. This tree references and constrains execution around those contracts; it does not duplicate them.

Git authority

The local working tree is the current working authority. GitHub (github) and Forgejo (origin) are mirrors of the same project, not independent variants.

After an explicitly authorized Git closure:

local main
  -> github/main
  -> origin/main

should normally identify the same commit.

Required Git inspection before Git-sensitive work

git branch --show-current
git status --porcelain
git remote -v
git rev-parse HEAD
git rev-parse github/main
git rev-parse origin/main

If a remote is missing, inaccessible, or unexpectedly divergent: STOP. Do not choose one mirror as the winner by assumption.
