fix(constraints): resolve README drift against 342-doc canon baseline#42
Conversation
Addresses all critical and moderate drift identified in the 2026-02-18 audit of canon/constraints/README.md. Critical fixes: - Update ODD constraint title and MUST NOT to reflect Epoch 5 revision: ODD is value-grounded, not value-free; retains boundary against moral authority - Add "Humans Are Variable Inputs" to Outline, Operating Constraints, Failure Modes, and Verification — constraint was invisible to index readers - Rewrite §11 per D0016: "Lane Self-Containment" → "Work-Unit Self-Containment"; removes stale products/<lane>/ directory convention, preserves surviving principle Moderate fixes: - Add "No Irreversible Action" MUST NOT to Operating Constraints - Add "Humans Are Variable Inputs" MUST NOT to Operating Constraints - Update Description paragraph to reflect full constraint set (16 constraints, not the original 11) - Expand Failure Modes to cover newer constraints: Premature Collaboration, Epistemic Amnesia, Boundary Rushing, Irreversible Overcommit, Human System Blame, Hero Posture - Expand Verification to cover all constraints, not just original 11 Minor fixes: - Remove stale "Canon v0.1" status footer and Content section label - Remove emoji (💡, ✅) from Closing Note per canon formatting conventions - Update "Scattered Lanes" → "Scattered Work Units" in Failure Modes https://claude.ai/code/session_01X2bCxRNMCY8fHPM83QzPjN

Note
Low Risk
Documentation-only changes that adjust terminology and indexing; risk is limited to potential reader confusion if downstream references expect the old section names.
Overview
Updates
canon/constraints/README.mdto reflect the expanded constraints set and current Epoch 5 language, including renaming/reframing the ODD constraint as value-grounded while maintaining the no moral-authority boundary.Replaces the obsolete
Lane Self-Containmentsection withWork-Unit Self-Containment(removing theproducts/<lane>/directory convention) and expands the index-level Outline/Operating Constraints/Failure Modes/Verification to include newer constraints like irreversibility gates, human variability, single-agent integrity, epistemic encoding, boundary deceleration, and guide posture; also removes stale “Canon v0.1” status/footer and formatting emoji.Written by Cursor Bugbot for commit 58257c5.
