CONVENTIONS.md consolidates rules that already applied but were readable only to
the maintainer: the charter (CLAUDE.md), versioning and vendoring (README.md),
the reporting route (SECURITY.md), and file conventions visible only in the shape
of the files.
Two things stop being inferences. Why pull requests are off: this repository is
vendored into runtimes that pin a tag, so a data change changes what they find,
and that must be coordinated before it exists. And when a value may change: the
three recorded mechanisms - re-extraction, retraction, owner-directed authoring -
each tied to its source_fidelity key, with merit named as not among them.
The four offline checks are included and were each proven to go red on a planted
violation, not merely green on a clean tree. They are one-liners because a script
would be .sh and check 4 would fail on it.
No data file changed; a runtime passing 0.4.1 passes 0.4.2 unchanged.
