Why this is published
A doctrine that lives in a private repository and a chat skill is a doctrine that cannot be audited, versioned, or handed to a collaborator. Vendored here, every rule has a URL, every rejected name has a reason, and every gate the app enforces links back to the passage that mandates it. The product and the doctrine cannot drift apart, because they are the same file.
