Two durable-record additions from the iss-35 task-5 work.

  • prefer-sota.md principle — codifies the golden rule: prefer state-of-the-art for design/tooling decisions, but never adopt SOTA that violates the repo's preferences. An adversary reviewer challenges SOTA for repo fit first, then a sota-researcher verdict accounts for that challenge, then the pick. A propagated default for all abcd-managed repos (the "opinionated" in "opinionated configuration").
  • iss-35 semantic release-gate design — the SOTA-verified design of record for the semantic (Direction-A) half of the iss-35 graduation, reached via the prefer-sota process. The fit-surviving form is a Verification Summary Attestation: a host-run judge emits a signed, sha-keyed PROMOTE/HOLD receipt, and a fail-closed record-lint rule verifies it before a tag.

Record-only (no code). record-lint green.

Codify the golden rule as a first-class abcd principle: prefer state-of-the-art
for design/tooling/practice decisions, but never adopt SOTA that violates the
repo's preferences — an adversary reviewer challenges SOTA for repo fit first,
then a sota-researcher verdict accounts for that challenge, then the pick.

A propagated default for all abcd-managed repos (the "opinionated" in
"opinionated configuration"); its managed-repo home is the AGENTS.md
conventions section abcd installs.

The SOTA-verified design for the semantic (Direction-A) half of the iss-35
graduation, reached via the prefer-sota process (adversary fit-challenge then
sota-researcher verdict). The fit-surviving form is a Verification Summary
Attestation: a host-run judge emits a signed, sha-keyed PROMOTE/HOLD receipt;
a fail-closed record-lint rule verifies it before a tag. Phased build recorded;
phases touching signing/release run through security-reviewer first.
