Scope

This ADR owns the cross-cutting contract that connects:

• product route selection and first-use expectations;
• role and journey completion definitions;
• structured host-support and command declarations;
• error, diagnostic, side-effect, and privacy contracts;
• curated prose, structured projections, and evidence views;
• local setup, focused checks, Preview, and contribution routing;
• deterministic, package, native, deployed, and release evidence;
• CI, promotion, release, support, security, and rollback gates;
• privacy-safe DX measures and improvement reviews.

It coordinates those owners; it does not replace them.
