# Scope

## Project authority

This repository owns the cross-repository goal, concept-ownership boundary,
sequencing, dependency map, migration ledger, risks, acceptance gates, and
consolidated evidence for the canon federation effort.

It does not own canon content. Concepts live in the canons themselves.

## Participating repositories

- `the-custodian` — `ADR-006`; durable decisions and standards
- `info-tech-canon` — receives the identity model (`itc-ident`)
- `identity-canon` → `commerce-canon` — renamed in place; retains commercial content
- `state-hub` — repo slug rename, registration, agent-instruction regeneration

Downstream consumers (`fin-hub`, `target-revenue`, `adaptive-pricing`,
`qonto-assistant`) are **not** participants. They may pull from CommerceCanon
later via demand signal; their adoption is not a gate of this project.

## In scope

- Concept-ownership boundary across Custodian canon, InfoTechCanon, CommerceCanon.
- Resolution of the ownership collisions listed in `ADR-006` (R1–R7, accepted
  2026-08-17).
- The `identity-canon` → `commerce-canon` rename and all fleet references to it.
- Landing `itc-ident` in InfoTechCanon with imports, not redefinitions.
- Landing `itc-evid`, the evidence model, per R3/R5/R7 — including moving
  `Evidence` out of `itc-gov`, which becomes an importer.
- Extending `itc-org` with `Community` and `Household` under `CollectiveActor`
  per R6. (Promoted from residual to scope by the R6 resolution.)
- Seeding `Family` as its own concept area per R6 — recording the concept,
  its privacy sensitivity, and open modelling questions only.
- Bringing CommerceCanon to `InfoTechCanonRepositoryLayoutStandard` structure.
- Distributing the research corpus as provenance.
- Cross-canon interface cards.

## Out of scope

- Hosting canon content in this repository.
- Authoring new commercial concepts beyond what already exists in the glossary.
  CommerceCanon grows by demand signal after the federation is in place.
- Building CommerceCanon's service surface (CLI/JSON/API). InfoTechCanon has one;
  whether CommerceCanon needs one is a later, evidence-driven decision.
- Moving the Federated Organization Standard out of Custodian canon.
- Authoring the `Family` concept area beyond a seed. Family carries kinship,
  guardianship, dependency, care, and legal/biological/social parenthood
  structure that changes over time; building it out speculatively is the
  failure mode R6 exists to avoid. It grows on demand signal.
- Consumer adoption of either canon.
- Retiring or deleting any repository.

## Work-record rule

This project records milestones, dependencies, gates, decisions, and cross-repo
acceptance. Each participating repository owns its own implementation workplan
and evidence. Project records link those workplans by stable identifier rather
than copying their task lists.
