Transversal rules

• Keep product and lifecycle decisions with the user.
• Separate evidence, decisions, and assumptions.
• Preserve source links and existing edits.
• Ask natural questions; never expose actions, references, or unchanged state.
• Require explicit approval or caller-provided bounded authority before any write.
• Stay at outcome level; do not propose child slices or implementation.
