Summary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughAGENTS.md adds a “Durable Decision Discipline” section. It requires canonical records for durable decisions, explicit ownership and status, related-document links, documentation routing, and updates when decisions change. Missing or stale canonical documentation is defined as incomplete engineering work. ChangesDurable Decision Discipline
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The policy currently gives conflicting guidance about where its canonical documentation belongs, which could lead contributors to update different sources and create inconsistent process instructions.

- Around line 82-87: Assign this workflow policy a single canonical owner: move
the durable guidance into the appropriate docs/method document, link to it from
the section containing “Identify one canonical owner,” and update the
documentation router consistently. Ensure AGENTS.md no longer presents competing
ownership with docs/method/process.md.

The policy assigns workflow policy to `docs/method/` and requires linking to a canonical owner instead of copying a rule into several places. It then stated itself, in full, in AGENTS.md -- violating both of its own rules in the act of declaring them. Moves the policy body to docs/method/durable-decisions.md, which the policy names as the owner of workflow policy, and leaves AGENTS.md with a link plus the agent-specific enforcement clause. Adds the new document to the AGENTS.md router, as rule 3 requires. Records the canonical-owner assignments as a table in the owning document. Regression coverage in spec/audit-docs.spec.mjs asserts the policy rules appear in exactly one document and that the router names the owner. Both assertions fail at 64f6530. Addresses review threads PRRT_kwDOSCKBn86bwuw6 and PRRT_kwDOSCKBn86bwvLA.
The policy names `docs/jim-component-ownership.md` as the owner of the Jim/Jedit/Edict/Echo target ownership and causal model, while ARCHITECTURE.md carried a competing normative "Target Ownership" section restating the same component responsibilities in fewer words. The two had already diverged, which is the concrete cost the policy exists to prevent: ARCHITECTURE.md called `Jim.edict` "Jim's mind" while the owning document calls `jim.core` "Jim's mind". Two documents, two names for one component. One rule in that section existed nowhere else -- the prohibition on Echo carrying Jim vocabulary (`ReplaceRange` variant, rope intrinsic, `Buffer` or `TextWindow` semantics, native Jim planner callback, `MutationPlan`, caller-authored graph patch). It is target-ownership law, so it moves into the owning document rather than being deleted with the duplicated prose. ARCHITECTURE.md now routes to the owner and states no ownership rule of its own. Regression coverage asserts the component rule appears only in the owning document and that ARCHITECTURE.md links to it; the assertion fails at 64f6530. Addresses review thread PRRT_kwDOSCKBn86bwvLF.
