Decision Precedence

When documents conflict, use this precedence order.

  1. docs/00-start/START_HERE.md
  2. docs/governance/GEOINTEL_CONSTITUTION.md
  3. docs/governance/ARCHITECTURE_INVARIANTS.md
  4. docs/governance/FORBIDDEN_DECISIONS.md
  5. ADRs in adr/
  6. Canonical specs in docs/specs/
  7. Workflow specs in docs/workflows/
  8. API/database contracts in contracts/ and docs/API_CONTRACTS.md
  9. Current build plans in docs/build/
  10. Older milestone handoffs and prompts.

Rule for outdated documents

Older milestone files are historical unless referenced by the current canonical start file. Do not delete them, but do not treat them as higher authority.

Rule for autonomous improvements

If an improvement is compatible with constitution, invariants, contracts, state machines and golden paths, Codex may implement it. If not, document it as a proposal.
