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.
