Change Principles

Changes in bijux-canon-reason should make conclusions easier to inspect, easier to verify, or easier to challenge honestly. If a change adds cleverness without clarity, it is regressively opaque.

Change Rules

• prefer changes that strengthen explicit claim, verification, and provenance behavior
• update artifacts, examples, and tests when reviewer-visible reasoning behavior changes
• reject changes that push meaning into retrieval or orchestration just to reduce local code

Stop Rule

Stop the change if the claim logic becomes harder to explain after the edit.

Bottom Line

A good change leaves the package easier to defend after the diff than before it.
