# ProjectPilot Rule Template

## Scope

- Product:
- Shared refactor contract:
- Generated/source/runtime boundaries:

## Mandatory Gates

1. Build an implementation matrix before cross-surface edits.
2. Classify `B`, `S`, `P`, `U`, and documented exceptions separately.
3. Identify the source owner before touching any generated or report artifact.
4. Define the conformance gate before implementation.

## Prohibited Shortcuts

- Silent fallback
- Alias-only compatibility patch
- No-op implementation presented as support
- Generated artifact direct edit
- Single-language patch presented as shared fix

## Required Evidence

- File and line references:
- Verification commands:
- Contract references:

## Project Exceptions

| Exception | Why allowed | Guard |
