RULES v10.68 — Active Project Root Source Authority
Delivered
- Locks project development, governed source, commit input, and release input to the user- or project-selected Active Project Root.
- Limits
/tmp, worktrees, clean clones, and alternate checkouts to read-only evidence or disposable verification unless project authority explicitly selects another root. - Separates exact Runtime payload parity from full-project convergence and blocks closeout when relevant project state remains split or unexplained.
- Advances
authority-and-scope.mdto 2.8 anddocument-integrity.mdto 1.14 while preserving the exact ordered 19-Rule runtime inventory. - Adds Case 19 and M41-M45 for forbidden alternate development, root-only mutation, disposable evidence, blocked-root stop behavior, and mixed payload/project proof.
Verification
- Exact 22-path release scope.
- Exactly 2 Runtime Rules advanced; the other 17 remained byte/mode protected.
- Four installer and fixture arrays retained the identical ordered 19-file payload.
- Case 19/M41-M45 assertions and 366 checked local links passed.
- Bash and PowerShell fixture suites passed.
- Patch timeline regression passed 32/32; Patch inventory passed at 179 selected / 0 preserved.
- Two-pass disposable installation passed with 19/19 parity, idempotence, and unrelated-file preservation.
- Independent doctrine and release/no-drift reviews passed after two bounded corrections.
- Preservation baseline comparison passed with zero drift in unrelated plugin state.
Real runtime installation is a separate approval-gated stage and is not claimed by this Release.
