doc-chg

Purpose

Author a Change Management (CHG) record — the governance overlay for modifying existing SDD artifacts. CHG is NOT a lifecycle layer: no layer number, no readiness score. Triggered on-demand when an artifact must change; quality bar is gate approval, not a numeric score.

Cross-layer scope: a CHG can touch any artifact along BRD → PRD → EARS → BDD → ADR → SPEC → TDD → IPLAN → Code. Job: classify, route to the correct gate, trace the cascade, keep the registry honest.
