# Research proposal follow-up: initial canon scaffold

This workplan follows up on `ResearchProposal.md`, especially Immediate Next
Steps 5 through 9. The goal is to turn the seeded proposal and corpus outline
into the first repository-native terminology, canon, model, and scenario
artifacts without pretending that the source-note research pass is complete.

## Seed Terminology Inventory

```task
id: IDENTITY-WP-0002-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "2c66f05d-a19f-4f29-a24d-8cb43c0e7da1"
```

Create the first `terminology/TerminologyInventory.md` from the proposal,
intent, and seeded corpus topics. The inventory must mark mappings as
candidate mappings until the individual source notes are backfilled.

## Seed Terminology Conflict Map

```task
id: IDENTITY-WP-0002-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "eeca8178-76ec-485c-bace-70ed13d4a418"
```

Create the first `terminology/TerminologyConflictMap.md` for overloaded terms
that are central to the proposal: `user`, `identity`, `account`, `subject`,
`principal`, `tenant`, `organization`, `group`, `role`, `member`, `profile`,
`persona`, `identifier`, `credential`, and synonymity terms.

## Draft Canonical Principles And Glossary

```task
id: IDENTITY-WP-0002-T03
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "44fb593e-1118-412f-a3d8-3976958ad175"
```

Create `canon/DesignPrinciples.md` and `canon/CanonicalGlossary.md` as the
first explicit canonical layer. These files should stay implementation-neutral
and keep external product mappings separate from canonical definitions.

## Add Model And Scenario Tests

```task
id: IDENTITY-WP-0002-T04
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "9a922e09-0609-4dcb-9828-00d12009c9eb"
```

Create `model/ConceptualModel.md` and `scenarios/ScenarioTests.md` so the
initial canon can be tested against the representative scenarios listed in the
research proposal.

## Record Follow-Up Boundaries

```task
id: IDENTITY-WP-0002-T05
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "3231c998-2e1a-4d35-a9c2-c7ff6888394f"
```

Create lightweight follow-up surfaces for open questions and downstream
recommendations. These notes should keep implementation ideas visible without
moving implementation work into this repository.
