+# ADR-0006 — Creator advisory boundary
+
+Status: Accepted  
+Date: 2026-08-16  
+Accepted under: ARCH-000008
+
+## Decision
+
+1. The first cognitive product slice is `creator-advisory-v1`: ephemeral advisory text for an authenticated Creator.
+2. Advisory output is non-canonical, has no tools or Executor access, and cannot create or mutate any semantic object or external state.
+3. The provider-neutral request/response boundary, data-denial rules, isolation, telemetry and promotion lifecycle are those specified by `docs/COGNITIVE_PROVIDER_PROPOSAL.md`.
+4. Initial hard limits are: user message 16 KiB; at most 8 context excerpts; each excerpt 8 KiB; combined context 48 KiB; response 16 KiB; request timeout 30 seconds; at most 2 concurrent requests per Principal; at most 20 accepted requests per Principal per rolling hour.
+5. Context sensitivity is fail closed. Only explicitly selected `PUBLIC` or `PRIVATE_ALLOWED` excerpts may enter the gateway; `SECRET`, `UNKNOWN` and omitted classifications are rejected.
+6. V1 has no server-side advisory conversation persistence, provider memory, automatic context crawling, automatic retries, tool calls or conversion of an answer into an ActionProposal.
+7. The deterministic fake remains the initial and test binding. External provider egress is disabled until a later accepted decision names the provider/API/model family and its retention/training/data-egress policy.
+8. A real provider binding cannot promote unless all deterministic boundary/safety tests pass, its evaluation corpus is recorded, and the Creator explicitly enables a fixed binding revision. A new model revision never inherits promotion.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Provider-neutral gateway contracts and a fake adapter may now be implemented without canonical storage or new privileges.
+- Cognitive worker continues with no database role and no Commit/Executor credentials.
+- Provider-specific HTTP, credentials, outbound network access, production activation and content egress remain prohibited until separately accepted.
+- Loss of cognition affects only advisory availability; Continuity, Commit and existing Creator commands remain correct.
+
+## Revisit triggers
+
+- A concrete provider/API/model is selected.
+- Conversation persistence or provider memory is requested.
+- Advisory text should become a typed command candidate.
+- Context must be compiled automatically from canonical owners.
+- Limits or cost controls need production adjustment.
