A text file says what somebody asserted.
Mechaneion says what somebody confirmed, and who.
Rules a person ruled. Claims a person marked. Work that reads as landed only once something has looked at your default branch and seen it. Your agents read all of it through their own tools, with nothing added to your repository.
Law
The rules your product obeys, in words you would say out loud. You rule them. An agent reads them before it starts, and cites the one it built against.
Claims
One plain sentence each, about what the product does for a person. Somebody says whether it is worth asking, and somebody says whether it works. Both are on the record with a name against them.
Commissions
What you asked for, in your own words, and who is holding it. Nobody drags a card: a piece of work reads as landed because something looked at your default branch and found it.
Nothing is added to the repository you work in. No folder, no hook, no git configuration.
A project names a repository only so a ruling can say which code it was made at. Mechaneion never asks for access to it.
