+# Railiance — Seed Concepts v0.1
+
+1. **Sovereign Ops** — operations that remain functional without external provider control.
+2. **Restore Drill** — a periodic exercise proving the system can be recovered from backups.
+3. **Reproducible Deployment** — same inputs produce the same deployed system.
+4. **Policy at the Tool Boundary** — enforce permissions where the agent calls tools.
+5. **Secrets Hygiene** — secrets never enter plaintext logs, canon, or chat transcripts.
+6. **Immutable Audit Log** — append-only record of actions and changes.
+7. **Degrade Gracefully** — partial functionality under constrained resources/connectivity.
+8. **Operational Minimalism** — minimize moving parts and required human attention.
+9. **Continuous Verification** — automated checks that detect drift and breakage early.
+10. **Version Pinning** — explicit version control of runtime dependencies to avoid surprise changes.
