Summary

Brings this repo's arrival pack up to the template: adds doctrine rules 14 to 16. Rule 16 is "Cheap models for upkeep". The rule is PROVISIONAL in canon (metadatastician/standards#1457). It is projected before ratification, the same known tension as rule 15.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

Documentation

  • Added guidance to trace dependencies and address issues at their canonical or upstream source, including consideration of downstream effects.
  • Clarified the default approach to design choices: favour the most elegant, correct long-term option, identify it when presenting alternatives, and report any departure.
  • Added guidance on model selection: reserve top-tier models for proof work and complex design, and pause upkeep work that requires substantial effort on a lower-tier model.

The estate doctrine adds rules for fixing upstream causes, stating design defaults and departures, and using cheaper models for upkeep work. It also directs contributors to stop and open a thread when upkeep work needs substantial effort.

Changes: Estate doctrine updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Source-fix, design-choice and model-use rules
.machine_readable/arrival-pack/arrival-pack.ncl, CLAUDE.md
Both doctrine versions add rules for tracing upstream causes and downstream effects, labelling the elegant and correct long-term option, reporting departures from it, and using cheaper models for upkeep work. They also direct contributors to stop and open a thread when upkeep work needs substantial effort.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 9fe07

This PR only adds doctrine text and regenerates CLAUDE.md, so it carries no runtime risk. Rule 16 lists Opus among the cheaper models, which looks inconsistent with the rule's own ban on top-tier models for upkeep. That is worth fixing in the template source but need not block merge.

Explanation

The title names the docs change to arrival-pack doctrine rules 14 to 16 and says they are synced with the template. The raw summary and objectives confirm that the changeset adds these three rules to arrival-pack.ncl and regenerates CLAUDE.md. The title is specific and accurate, though it does not mention the regenerated CLAUDE.md.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's main sections: Summary, Changes, RSR Quality Checklist, Testing, and Screenshots. It explains the purpose, lists the two changed files, and states which checks were run and which were not. The Summary does not use the template's 'Closes #N' link, and the checklist leaves several required items unchecked with reasons given, such as tests not run. Those reasons are stated, so the description is mostly complete. The Changes section does not mention the regenerated CLAUDE.md as a separate SPDX-related item, and the SPDX header item is marked not applicable without a clear reason tied to the template's Required list.

13. **Equivalence as identity** — the estate's intellectual through-line.
14. **Solutions at source** — fix the canonical/upstream origin, never patch the downstream symptom; trace and respect every up- and down-stream before you act.
15. **Elegance by default** — treat the most elegant and correct long-term option as the default arm; when you put a choice to the owner, LABEL which option that is, and if you recommend another, name both arms and say why you depart. Binds unasked design calls too: report the departure, never absorb it.
16. **Cheap models for upkeep**: CI/CD, workflow, template-drift and status-file work does not get a top-tier model. If it needs real effort, stop and say so, then open a thread on cheaper models (Sonnet and Haiku, or Opus, Sonnet and Haiku). Keep top-tier models for proof work and hard design.

Remove Opus from the cheaper-model escalation option.

Rule 16 bars top-tier models for upkeep work. Its escalation option lists Opus as a cheaper model. Opus is conventionally the highest Claude tier, so the escalation option can route upkeep work to a top-tier model. This contradicts the prohibition in the same rule. The repository does not define the model tiers, so the conflict depends on that classification.

The fix belongs in the source doctrine that the template sync copies. Update that source, then regenerate CLAUDE.md. The same text appears at CLAUDE.md:31.

Suggested fix

-If it needs real effort, stop and say so, then open a thread on cheaper models (Sonnet and Haiku, or Opus, Sonnet and Haiku). Keep top-tier models for proof work and hard design.

Not changed in this PR. Rule 16 is copied verbatim from the merged template (hyperpolymath/rsr-template-repo#324), and the same text is already on main in about 20 estate repos. Editing it here would make this repo diverge from the template. Whether Opus belongs in the list is the owner's decision, and if the wording changes it should change in the template first and then roll out to every repo. I have raised it with the owner.

@hyperpolymath Thanks for the clarification. A repo-only edit would create template drift, so I won’t ask for one in this PR.

The owner’s decision on the wording is still pending, so I’m not marking the finding as addressed. If it is not already tracked, would you like me to open a follow-up issue in this repository for the upstream decision?

Learning: Within repository "hyperpolymath/anytype", only for files matching one of [".machine_readable/arrival-pack/arrival-pack.ncl"]: When reviewing a proposed wording change to the estate-common doctrine in `.machine_readable/arrival-pack/arrival-pack.ncl`, check it against the upstream template. If a wording correction is needed, recommend changing the template first and then syncing this repository, rather than introducing repo-only wording that creates drift.

hyperpolymath added a commit to hyperpolymath/rsr-template-repo that referenced this pull request Nov 12, 2026
## Summary
Removes Opus from rule 16's list of cheaper models. Rule 16 bars
top-tier models from upkeep work, but its parenthetical read "(Sonnet
and Haiku, or Opus, Sonnet and Haiku)". That contradicted the rule.
Owner ruling: drop Opus. The list now reads "(Sonnet and Haiku)".

Raised by CodeRabbit on several rollout PRs of line 16 (for example
hyperpolymath/anytype#91).

## Changes
- `.machine_readable/arrival-pack/arrival-pack.ncl`: rule 16 wording.
- `CLAUDE.md`: regenerated. The generated region was not hand-edited.
- No licence files touched. Canon (metadatastician/standards#1457) not
touched.

## Testing
- `just claude-md`
- `just validate-claude-md` (passes)

## Follow-up
About 22 estate repos carry the old wording from the line 16 rollout.
After this merges, the same one-line change can roll out to them. The
owner decides when.

The owner merges. Not merged by the bot.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Documentation**
* Updated model guidance for upkeep work and thread discussions to list
Sonnet and Haiku as lower-cost options. Opus is no longer included in
these specific recommendations. The surrounding instructions remain
unchanged, and no other model recommendations were altered. This update
is reflected in both the main guidance and its generated version.
