Governs: scope, audience, and what this project deliberately is not
Review trigger: Any change of scope, audience, or platform

The vision. The milestones in this repository's issue tracker hold the sequence of work; this holds what the work is for. When the two disagree, this one is the argument and those are the plan — resolve it rather than letting both stand.

Deliberately no batch list here. A schedule in a document goes stale the day after it is written and nothing notices; a schedule in the tracker is updated by the act of doing the work.

What this is

<One paragraph. If it takes three, the scope is not settled yet.>

Who it is for

<The actual user. "Everyone" is not an answer and produces a product with no opinions.>

What it is deliberately not

<The most useful section in this file. Every "not" here is a decision that stops being re-litigated, and a feature request that can be answered in one line.>

Stack and platform

Concern Choice Why
<language / runtime> <the reason, not the marketing>
<>
<>

Success looks like

<Something observable. "Users are happy" is not observable; "a first-time user completes the core flow without help" is.>

Known risks

<What could make this fail, and what would be done about it. Written now, while it is still cheap to be honest.>
