…#644) Owner ruling **2026-08-26**. Projects that are *played* rather than *built upon* are `AGPL-3.0-or-later` for code, `CC-BY-SA-4.0` for prose. ## Rationale, in the owner's terms > If a thing is made to help the world practically → **MPL-2.0**, so it spreads with minimal friction. > If it's a game → **AGPL**. That is coherent rather than arbitrary: MPL's copyleft triggers on *distribution*, and games are the category most likely to be **run as a hosted service** rather than shipped as a copy — so Rule 1's copyleft is never reached. AGPL §13 is the only clause in the family that closes that gap. ## This broadens Rule 3 | | Test | Applies to | |---|---|---| | **Rule 3** (existing) | *relationship* — co-developed with Joshua | 3 named repos | | **Rule 5** (new) | *subject matter* — is it a game | any game, regardless of co-developer | Rule 3a is unchanged: owner-only components inside an AGPL work stay MPL-2.0. ## Why it had to be written down before anything is flipped `chronicles-of-slavia` and `688-attack-hub` are **already AGPL** but appear in **no rule's named list** — so under the previous text they read as *drift*. Sweep #40 did in fact flatten two AGPL games back toward the default once already. **A rule that exists only as an intention gets "corrected" by the next automated pass.** This PR is what makes the ruling survive. ## Members **Already AGPL (verified against each root LICENSE):** `chronicles-of-slavia`, `688-attack-hub`, `IDApTIK`, `airborne-submarine-squadron`, `f117a-stealth-glider`, `f19-stealth-glider`, `the-nash-equilibrium` **To flip (currently MPL):** `sr71-blackglider`, `proof-of-work`, `road-skate`, `megadog` **Needs verifying:** `paint-type` — Rule 3 names it AGPL but its root `LICENSE` is not machine-readable ## Explicitly NOT in Rule 5 - **`knot-rider`** — owner ruling: despite the name, an *exploration of knots*, not a game. Stays MPL-2.0. - **`project-ovine`** — a herding game that exists as a **proving ground for the enaction engine**. The game is the test harness, not the product. **Not yet ruled**; stays MPL until it is. ##⚠️ This PR does not authorise a sweep Per **A2** — *"No automated or bulk SPDX/licence change (sed sweep, script, agent pass) on any estate repo, ever"* — the four flips are **manual, per-file, owner-only**. This section records **what** should change and **why it is correct**. The presence of a repo name in the members table must never be read as authorisation to script it. The section says so in its own text, so a future agent reading only the table cannot mistake it. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Replaces the static grep-chain TS check with a python step that:
.claude/CLAUDE.md'TypeScript Exemptions' table at CI time and treats eachPathrow as allowed.Why: the previous static allowlist required editing the workflow whenever a legitimate per-repo exemption was needed. This made the per-repo
.claude/CLAUDE.mdexemption table (the documented source of truth) and the workflow drift apart. Now they're the same single source.To exempt a path going forward: add one row to
.claude/CLAUDE.md's 'TypeScript Exemptions' table — no workflow edit required.To migrate off TS: see Human_Programming_Guide.adoc migration chapter (in affinescript repo).
