-# Program — the owner's priorities and rulings
-
-Kept by the session manager. Short on purpose: the backlog holds the tasks, RESUME-BRIEF.md
-what is mid-flight. Every ruling is DATED and QUOTES the owner; session-manager calls are
-marked vetoable.
-
-Last updated: YYYY-MM-DD
-
-## Current milestone

-TODO: one paragraph.

-## Priorities (owner's order)

-1. TODO
-2. TODO

-<!-- Format:
-### YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM — <short title>
-> "<the owner's exact words>" — owner
-Applies to: <areas>. Recorded by: <session>.
-
-### YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM — <short title> (session manager call, VETOABLE)
-What was decided and why, in two lines. The owner overrides by saying so.

-## Standing rules
-
-- Approvals for spend, publishing and deploys are typed by the owner in the session that acts.
-- Agreed work is never silently dropped: a priority change defers it; only the owner cancels, with a reason.

-Written by the dispatcher at every wind-down; read first by every session at restart.

-## First reads on restart

-1. `git log --oneline <main> -20` — what landed while the fleet was dark.
-2. Remove `<stateDir>/PAUSED` (the restart job does this).

-# Model tier strikes
-
-Evidence loop for per-area model tiers. A strike is one of: red landing, withdrawn
-submission, reviewer rejection, peer-caught false green, owner-reported regression.
-
-- Two strikes in a week (week = from the usage reset) -> propose moving the area UP a tier.
-- Two clean weeks -> offer moving it DOWN a tier.
-- Loses the thread after compaction -> raise its context.
-Changes go into fleet.config.json (area `tier` / `context`) and need a fresh start of that area.

-# Rule changes
-
-Newest first. One `## YYYY-MM-DD` heading per day, then a line per change.
-Read this file newest first now and before every backlog item. These lines
-override a stale system prompt. Nothing filters them down to a window of days.
-
-The session manager adds a line here whenever a rule, a prompt, a tool's usage, or
-a landing rule changes.
