+# Architecture Demand Intake
+
+This directory is the unreviewed intake surface for proposed changes to the
+Railiance framework architecture. It implements the InfoTechCanon distinction
+between a `DemandSignal` and committed work:
+
+- a file here records a request, opportunity, conflict, or observed scope
+  pressure;
+- it is not a task and carries no implementation commitment;
+- review compares it with `INTENT.md`, current `SCOPE.md`, existing ADRs, and
+  the purpose of the requesting consumer;
+- only an accepted disposition may create or amend a workplan;
+- resolved demand leaves this directory and moves to `history/` with its review
+  trail intact.
+
+State Hub messages are coordination transport, not this directory's source of
+truth. Capture a message here only when it presents genuine architecture demand
+that needs review. Do not mirror the inbox wholesale.
+
+## File convention
+
+Pending demand uses `YYYY-MM-DD-NNN-<slug>.md` and this minimum shape:
+
+```yaml
+---
+id: RMASTER-DEMAND-YYYY-MM-DD-NNN
+type: demand-signal
+status: unreviewed
+received: "YYYY-MM-DD"
+source: "operator | agent/repo | discovery"
+consumer: "who needs the outcome"
+---
+```
+
+Each record answers:
+
+1. What is being requested or observed?
+2. What consumer purpose would it serve?
+3. How does it fit the producer intent?
+4. Does it expose a current-scope defect, future-scope pressure, or work that
+   belongs elsewhere?
+5. What evidence supports it?
+
+## Review dispositions
+
+- `accepted` — create or link the repo-local workplan, then archive the demand
+  record as `history/YYMMDD-demand-<slug>.md`.
+- `routed` — name the owning repository and durable handoff evidence, then
+  archive the record.
+- `deferred` — state the trigger or missing evidence; keep the record here only
+  while it remains genuinely unreviewed, otherwise archive it.
+- `rejected` — record why it conflicts with intent, scope, or an accepted
+  decision, then archive it.
+
+Review changes the demand record's status and adds reviewer, review date,
+purpose fit, scope pressure, disposition rationale, and resulting work ID. Raw
+demand must never move directly into task status without that trail.
+
+## Worked example
+
+The first completed intake is
+[`history/260818-demand-canon-policy-alignment.md`](../history/260818-demand-canon-policy-alignment.md).
+It records the operator request that became `RMASTER-WP-0024` and demonstrates
+the full signal → review → workplan → history path.

+repository_context:
+  producer_intent:
+    - Own the Railiance-specific framework architecture and repository-family vocabulary.
+    - Keep ownership, execution contract, managed workload package, and substrate axes separate and composable.
+    - Author and govern framework ADRs while delegating permanent publication downstream without writeback.
+  current_scope:
+    - Eight accepted framework ADRs and stakeholder-facing architecture contracts.
+    - Rail, rapp, and reef declaration schemas plus cross-family validation tooling.
+    - Cross-repo architecture workplans whose implementation is routed to concrete ownership repositories.
+    - Reviewed architecture-demand intake and dated resolution history.
+  consumer_purposes:
+    - Give Railiance repositories one stable meaning for rail, rapp, reef, ownership, admission, and exposure.
+    - Give maintainers an evidence-linked path from demand through decision to repo-local implementation.
+    - Give policy-nexus authoritative source records that can be published without becoming a second source of truth.
+    - Give humans and agents predictable orientation and retrieval surfaces.

+# Review: align railiance-master with InfoTechCanon and policy-nexus
+
+## Demand signal
+
+Review and update the repository's intent and current scope against the newer
+InfoTechCanon repository structure and `policy-nexus` authority model, then
+identify and execute the obvious alignment work.
+
+## Consumer purpose
+
+Maintainers and downstream Railiance repositories need to tell, without
+reconstructing context from multiple repos:
+
+- what architecture this repository owns;
+- which general concepts it imports from InfoTechCanon;
+- which accepted records are policy sources;
+- which responsibilities belong to the permanent publisher; and
+- how inbound architecture requests become reviewed work.
+
+## Purpose fit
+
+**Strong fit.** `INTENT.md` already names this repository as the Railiance
+framework architecture home. Clarifying semantic-canon, content-authority, and
+publication boundaries strengthens that purpose without adding an implementation
+layer.
+
+## Scope pressure
+
+The demand exposed three current-scope gaps rather than a request to broaden the
+mission:
+
+1. `INTENT.md` and `SCOPE.md` did not distinguish InfoTechCanon authority,
+   Railiance-specific authority, and `policy-nexus` publication.
+2. Eight accepted ADRs were discovered by `policy-nexus` but lacked required
+   publication metadata and addressing.
+3. The repo had no explicit pre-work intake, so State Hub messages could be
+   promoted to workplans without a durable purpose/scope review.
+
+It also exposed housekeeping pressure: completed workplans remained in the
+active retrieval directory despite a repository-specific archive convention.
+
+## Evidence reviewed
+
+- `INTENT.md`, `SCOPE.md`, `README.md`, and `.repo-classification.yaml`
+- `docs/adr/ADR-0001` through `ADR-0008`
+- `schemas/`, `tools/`, `workplans/`, and `history/`
+- InfoTechCanon ITC-REPO-LAYOUT 0.1.0-RC1 and consumer review kit
+- `policy-nexus/INTENT.md`, publication contract, and source inventory
+
+## Disposition
+
+**Accepted** as `RMASTER-WP-0024`.
+
+The work belongs here because it changes the architecture repository's own
+interfaces and source metadata. Downstream address selection and rendering are
+routed to `policy-nexus`; the publisher does not edit the source records.
+
+## Outcome
+
+- Intent and scope authority boundaries were corrected.
+- Repository-layout conformance became explicit and later advanced to `core`
+  through the reviewed demand intake demonstrated by this record.
+- ADR source metadata became renderer-compatible; downstream publication remains
+  separately owned.
+- Remaining alignment work is tracked in `RMASTER-WP-0024` rather than inferred
+  from the original request.
