tegwick 1843ba40c9 Scope: canon and ADRs outward, estate-bearing regulation inward
Operator answered the two blocking questions, so T06 is now specifiable and
T03 has a bounded corpus: two canon trees and roughly 68 ADRs across 18
repositories. Workplans, evidence and runbooks are out - a site that publishes
everything publishes nothing in particular.

T06 gains an inclusion test (does the rule constrain something the estate
actually does), a record format, and a candidate register drawn from what the
estate demonstrably touches rather than from a list of well-known regulations -
data protection and erasure, residency, procurement via vergabe-teilnahme,
identity assurance via the aal2 class, and the agentic tenant grouping. The
register is to confirm, not to assume.

The hard rule is now in the format itself: a record states what a source said
and when. Interpretation belongs to the repo making the decision. The estate
has no legal function and this repo must not grow one by accident.

Rewrote the README, which described a broader civic corpus than the repo is
scoped to and would have attracted the wrong contributions.

One question got sharper rather than resolved: publishing every ADR across 18
repos puts the estate's architecture, known gaps and residual risks in one
indexed public place. That is right for a document consumers must read, and it
is a decision to take deliberately rather than inherit from a default.

policy-nexus

Permanent publication and regulatory intake for the estate's policy surface. Serves policy.coulomb.social.

Two halves:

  • Outward — publishes estate canon and architecture decision records from the repositories that own them, at stable URLs, with visible status and currency. Generated, never authored: the source of truth stays upstream and this repo never writes back.
  • Inward — records regulation bearing on the estate: rules that constrain data it holds, markets it sells into, or obligations it has taken on. A record says what a source said and when. It never says what the estate must therefore do.

Not a CMS, not a documentation site, not a civic-information corpus, and not a source of legal advice.
