Design Codebase

Purpose and authority

Decide what the target design is and why it is the right structural choice. Inspect the repository without editing implementation files. Produce one validated design-handoff.md for plan-change.

Stop at design. Never classify implementation tier, perform a full propagation sweep, prescribe file-level edits, write test or execution blueprints, order migrations or rollout, or attack an implementation. Those responsibilities belong to plan-change. Paths are evidence locators, not edit instructions.
