# prj-canon-federation

Temporary project repository coordinating the split of `identity-canon` into an
InfoTechCanon identity model and a renamed `commerce-canon`, so that every
canonical concept in the ecosystem has exactly one owner.

The project is governed by [GOAL.md](GOAL.md). Its background, boundaries, and
first delivery plan are recorded in
[history/2026-08-16-genesis.md](history/2026-08-16-genesis.md),
[SCOPE.md](SCOPE.md), and
[CFED-WP-0001](workplans/CFED-WP-0001-foundation.md).

The governing decision is
[ADR-006](../the-custodian/canon/architecture/adr-006-canon-federation-concept-ownership.md)
in the Custodian canon (accepted 2026-08-17; destination canon review gates still apply).

This repository holds no canon content. It is designed to be retired when the
goal and retirement gates in `GOAL.md` are satisfied.

The [ownership ledger](ledger/README.md) records the complete source inventory,
accepted migration assignments, validation commands, and publication prerequisites.

The foundation is complete: all eight acceptance gates are satisfied and all
13 workplan tasks are done. See the [completion record](history/2026-09-06-foundation-completion.md)
for evidence, benefits, maturity limits and live residual handoffs. Ongoing
Family authoring, service decisions and consumer adoption remain demand-driven
work in the owning repositories.
