# Retain the offline reference repository — 2026-08-23
**Decision:** retain `zone-engine` as an offline reference-conformance
repository while `security-zones_v0.1` remains proposed in net-kingdom canon.
**Authority:** zone-engine owner under the operator-directed execution of
`ZONE-WP-0002`; canon and control ownership remain unchanged.
## Maintenance contract
- Maintainer: zone-engine.
- Authoritative standard: net-kingdom canon, never the local pointer.
- Allowed changes: canon-lineage refresh, conformance fixtures, and a concrete
revision requested by canon or an adopting control owner.
- Forbidden expansion: runtime/API/storage, live policy decisions, implicit
workload discovery, central exception enforcement, or local stance authority.
- Routine backlog: none.
## Archive triggers
Reassess archival when any of the following is true:
1. net-kingdom accepts or supersedes v0.1 and owns the durable conformance
assets;
2. the adopting control owners absorb the fixtures and no shared reference is
needed; or
3. no adopting control depends on this reference surface.
Archiving or renaming the Forgejo repository remains an attended operator
action. This decision deliberately performs neither.
