Shared policy corpus¶

Corpus ownership and structure¶

• Repository structure - Identifies policy/ as the canonical shared-rule corpus and profiles/ as the branch-owned rule-selection sets, separate from the provider toolchain and maintainer-only repository policy.
• Policy authoring - Defines shared-policy ownership, atomic rule modules, context policy, repository-local extensions, and override semantics.
• Policy authority inventory - Enumerates semantic authority surfaces and distinguishes canonical rules from generated projections and adapters.

Policy families and contexts¶

• Shared review policy - Describes the provider-neutral review-policy family selected for review operations.
• External artifact intake - Describes the context policy selected for validated external-artifact intake.
• Regression prevention - Describes cross-cutting regression-prevention semantics represented in the shared corpus.

Selection, composition, and rendering¶

• Policy profiles - Explains what profiles are, how they compose shared rules inside policy contexts, which profiles are available, and when to select each one.
• Configuration - Defines how a consumer selects shared profiles, adds repository-local policy, declares explicit overrides, and binds outputs to contexts.
• Architecture - Describes how selected shared and repository-local rules are loaded, composed, rendered, and recorded in lock state.
