Ownership Boundary

Ownership in bijux-canon-reason should be visible in checked-in structure, not only in prose. The source tree shows where the package expects work to live, and the tests show whether that expectation is protected when the code changes.

Use this page when a change proposal feels plausible in more than one package and someone needs a concrete reason to keep the work here or move it elsewhere.

Treat the foundation pages for bijux-canon-reason as the package's durable self-description. If the package still feels blurry after this section, the boundary story is not clear enough yet.

Owned Code Areas

  • src/bijux_canon_reason/planning for plan construction and intermediate representation
  • src/bijux_canon_reason/reasoning for claim and reasoning semantics
  • src/bijux_canon_reason/execution for step execution and tool dispatch
  • src/bijux_canon_reason/verification for checks and validation outcomes
  • src/bijux_canon_reason/traces for trace replay and diff support
  • src/bijux_canon_reason/interfaces for CLI and serialization boundaries

Adjacent Systems

  • consumes evidence prepared by ingest and retrieval provided by index
  • relies on runtime when a run must be accepted, stored, or replayed under policy

Concrete Anchors

  • packages/bijux-canon-reason as the package root
  • packages/bijux-canon-reason/src/bijux_canon_reason as the import boundary
  • packages/bijux-canon-reason/tests as the package proof surface

Use This Page When

  • you need the package idea before the implementation detail
  • you are deciding whether work belongs here or in a neighboring package
  • you want the shortest honest explanation of what this package is for

Decision Rule

Use Ownership Boundary to decide whether a change makes bijux-canon-reason easier or harder to defend as one distinct role in the overall system. If the work makes the package broader without making its role clearer, stop and re-check the boundary before treating the change as a local improvement.

What This Page Answers

  • what problem bijux-canon-reason is supposed to own on purpose
  • where the package boundary stops, even when nearby code looks tempting
  • which neighboring package seams deserve comparison before the boundary is changed

Reviewer Lens

  • compare the stated boundary with the modules, artifacts, and tests that are supposed to uphold it
  • check that out-of-scope behavior is not quietly re-entering through convenience paths
  • confirm that the package story still matches the real repository layout and neighboring package docs

Honesty Boundary

This page can explain the intended boundary of bijux-canon-reason, but it cannot prove that boundary by itself. The real proof still lives in the code, tests, and neighboring package seams that either support or contradict the story told here.

Next Checks

  • move to architecture when the question becomes structural rather than boundary-oriented
  • move to interfaces when the question becomes contract-facing
  • move to quality when the question becomes proof or review sufficiency

Purpose

This page ties package ownership to concrete directories instead of abstract slogans.

Stability

Keep it aligned with the current module layout.
