Purpose
Owner-ratification PR — deliberately NOT armed for auto-merge.
Design document for the README format way-forward, per the 2026-07-07 ratification ("ratify, but standards-design first"). No workflow code in this PR.
What it proposes
README.mdonly for repos that declare a Markdown consumer; derived files are never hand-edited.(publishing ...)block in descriptilesECOSYSTEM.a2ml(standalonePUBLISHING.a2mlflagged as the alternative). No declaration ⇒ no derived README, ever — the anti-runaway guard.readme-derive.ymlreusable workflow — asciidoctor-reducer → pandoc (docbook→gfm) → fail-closed ≥98% vocab-preservation gate → generated-file stamp → freshness check (fail-and-tell).Context
Replaces the two-repo exception lore that caused the June 2026 estate-wide .adoc→.md runaway (~33 repos, reverted 2026-06-29). Root cause was policy-as-prose; this makes it policy-as-configuration executed by deterministic CI.
