capture_surfaces:
  - landscape entities and their ownership boundaries
  - runtime resources, deployments, repositories, pipelines, and artifacts
  - network zones, endpoints, reachability, paths, and flows
  - datasets, datastores, lineage, residency, and processing purpose
  - observability signals, alerts, incidents, dashboards, and evidence
  - governance policies, controls, reviews, exceptions, and decisions
  - security findings, exposure, attack paths, and mitigations
  - tasks created from gaps, findings, remediation, or evolution pressure
  - consumer purposes, demand signals, purpose fit, and scope pressure
readiness_gates:
  - id: gate/entity-identity
    title: Captured nodes have stable canonical identity.
    required: true
    expects:
      - Every canonical node has id, kind, title, source, owner or steward, provenance, and canon anchor.
  - id: gate/edge-semantics
    title: Captured edges distinguish canonical relationships from display-only edges.
    required: true
    expects:
      - Every canonical edge has type, source, target, source artifact, confidence, and evidence status.
  - id: gate/visualization-boundary
    title: Visualization metadata does not become canon meaning.
    required: true
    expects:
      - Layout, color, cluster, rank, and collapse edges are marked display_only.
  - id: gate/evidence-trace
    title: Claims can be traced to evidence, signal, or explicit gap.
    required: true
    expects:
      - Captured entities and edges carry evidence references or known gap status.
  - id: gate/purpose-pressure
    title: Fabric demand can feed canon evolution without silently changing scope.
    required: true
    expects:
      - Railiance-fabric declares purposes, use cases, demand signals, purpose fit, and requested evolution.
output_expectations:
  - completed Canon Interface Card for railiance-fabric
  - entity category mapping export
  - edge category mapping export
  - clean graph examples and corrected bad graph examples
  - evidence bundle or explicit evidence gaps
  - consumer-side workplan created in the railiance-fabric repo
non_goals:
  - Refactor railiance-fabric in this repo.
  - Choose railiance-fabric storage, graph database, UI, or rendering technology here.
  - Treat visual grouping as canonical meaning.
