Change Principles

Changes in bijux-canon-agent should make workflows easier to trace, easier to explain, or less likely to smuggle in hidden policy. If a change makes orchestration more surprising, it is probably a regression.

Change Rules

• prefer changes that strengthen determinism, trace quality, and explicit role boundaries
• update artifacts, examples, and tests when caller-visible workflow behavior changes
• reject changes that move reasoning or runtime authority into orchestration for convenience

Stop Rule

Stop the change if a reviewer can no longer reconstruct what happened from the documented traces.

Bottom Line

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