= Summary =
Defines how instruction pages may be updated over time, including by agents.

= Rules =
* Instructions may be edited by agents.
* Core pages require greater caution than workflow or schema pages.
* Prefer additive refinement over destructive replacement.
* Do not silently alter canon behavior without clear justification.
* Major changes should be easy to audit and review.

= Principle =
The system evolves, but must remain stable.
