Dependency Map - Explicit Technology Choices

Foundational Principle

Every technology choice must be explicit, versioned, validated against Ring Standards, and justified.

Using vague or "latest" dependencies creates:

• Unreproducible builds across environments
• Hidden incompatibilities discovered during implementation
• Security vulnerabilities from unvetted versions

The Dependency Map answers: WHAT specific products, versions, packages, and infrastructure we'll use. The Dependency Map never answers: HOW to implement features (that's Tasks/Subtasks).

⛔ HARD BLOCK: Standards Loading (Step 0)

This is a HARD GATE. Do NOT proceed without loading Ring Standards and TRD decisions.
