Bootstrap Brownfield

Architectural discovery for existing products before SDD planning.

Output is agent-dense (tables, counts, gap list) — not a human essay. See references/agent-dense.md.

Harness discovery

See ../nextstage-harness/references/harness-discovery.md. Load rules from {harness_root}/rules/*.md. Read architecture-rules.md first. Legacy: .cursor/rules/*.mdc only if {harness_root} is absent. Compare findings to canonical rules when present — checks are advisory if rules missing. Do not copy the constitution stack into the map — link it.

When to use

• "Analyze the existing project" / "brownfield bootstrap"
• First SDD planning on repo with code but no requirements.md
• Before pm-requirements-generator on legacy code
