Lean Iteration Logging

Trigger

• Any request indicating docs/logging is too verbose.
• Normal iteration closeout for this repository.

Rule

For each iteration, update only docs/operations/progress.md with:

1. Changed
2. Validation
3. Next

Escalate docs only when needed

Update docs/ and docs/CHANGELOG.md only if the iteration changes:

• public contracts/API behavior
• CI/gating/workflow behavior
• upstream-upgrade process behavior

Anti-patterns to avoid

• Multi-file docs sweep on every small code slice.
• Rewriting context/backlog pages for routine internal refactors.
• Duplicating detailed implementation notes across multiple docs.

Completion gate

• Iteration has one concise entry in docs/operations/progress.md.
• Additional docs/changelog updates were made only if escalation criteria were met.
