Infra convergence rule
Before adding estate infrastructure, an agent must follow this sequence:
IDEA → PRODUCT OUTCOME → ESTATE MATCH → CLASSIFY → MINIMUM SEAM
→ REAL ACCEPTANCE → REGISTER/PROMOTE
Classify each perceived gap exactly once:
USE_EXISTING— an existing authority/interface already solves it.ADD_RECIPE— existing machinery needs only bounded configuration.ADD_ADAPTER— one consumer needs a local compatibility projection.BUILD_SHARED_SEAM— only after the gate below passes.HOLD— evidence, authority, or a real consumer is missing.
BUILD_SHARED_SEAM requires all four: no current owner, at least two concrete
consumers/products, an explicit authority boundary, and one completed real
acceptance case. A one-use adapter stays local. Generated projections remain
projections: they do not silently promote lifecycle, relationship, project, or
source-domain truth.
