Establishes the foundation to fix a recurring root-cause failure class
(non-canonical identifiers, asymmetric ingest paths, silent manual gates):
- Confirmed system mission (quasi-judicial decision assistant; human decides)
- Decomposition into 5 sub-projects (spec → audit → integrity layer → re-check → process agents)
- spec-set structure under docs/spec/ (lifecycle-organized + cross-cutting files)
- 11 global invariants + engineering rules, each backed by ≥3 authoritative sources
(NCSC/JTC, FJC, CEPEJ, South Bucks; RAG/Lewis, Manning IR, Elastic/Pinecone/Weaviate;
DAMA-DMBOK, ISO 8000, ISO 15489, Kleppmann, Codd, Fowler)
- 3-source verification protocol; UNVERIFIED items escalated, not decided solo
