# Architecture authority

This directory contains architecture authority artifacts. `ARCHITECTURE_CONSTITUTION.md` outranks all lower-level files. `architecture-registry.yaml` is the human-authoritative machine-readable registry; `architecture-registry.json` is the generated/bootstrapping mirror used by the initial stdlib-only `devctl`.

Do not casually edit either registry copy. A Tier E task must update both atomically until registry generation is automated.

`reference/FOUNDATION_FREEZE_PACK_V1.*` preserves the freeze package used to bootstrap this repository. It is reference/history, not higher authority than current accepted files in this directory.
