How do we change the rules? How do we decide to adopt a new technology? This standard defines the "Legislative Process" of the system.
2. The Standard (The Floor)
[MUST] Architectural Decision Records (ADR): Any decision that changes the "Standard" or "Architecture" MUST be recorded in an ADR (documentation/03_technology/decisions/).
[MUST] Module State Transitions: Moving a module from Experimental to Stable REQUIRES a "Golden Audit" (Definition of Done Check).
[MUST] Standard Amendments: Changing a [MUST] to a [SHOULD] (or vice versa) requires a Pull Request with explicit "Governance Approval" (CODEOWNERS).
3. Best Practices (The Path)
[SHOULD] Asynchronous Consensus: Use PR comments for debate. Don't decide in Zoom without a written record.
[SHOULD] The "Two-Way Door" Rule: Reversible decisions can be made fast (Vibe). Irreversible decisions (Architecture, Data Models) require an ADR (Design).
