ADR-0001: Blueprint Scope
Date: 2026-03-27 Status: Accepted
Context
The QiOS doctrine was previously scattered across README files, working notes, and ad-hoc markdown documents inside the main monorepo. This created ambiguity about what was governing truth vs working notes.
Decision
The qios-master-blueprint repo (this repo) is the sole canonical home for QiOS constitutional doctrine. It is:
- Constitutional doctrine
- Structure law
- Architecture law
- Schema/data/object law
- Operational map
- Decision history
It is not:
- App code
- Runtime code
- Experimental notes
- A random ADR graveyard
Consequences
- All future governance decisions must be captured here, not in app repos
- The README is the entry point only — doctrine lives in
docs/ - Machine-readable constraints go in
standards/andregistry/ - Decision history goes in
