ADR-0006 — AGENTS.md rules are unimplemented gates

Status: accepted (as a statement of debt, not a design)

Context

AGENTS.md states MUST rules governing what agents may emit. Nothing enforces them. Prose gates do not gate.

Decision

Record every rule in AGENTS.md as a named, unimplemented validator check. Until implemented, they are unevaluated — not passed. The project’s own distinction applies to the project.

Consequences

The first implementation milestone is the validator, not the CLI. A claim log with unenforced emission rules is not evidence; it is testimony from the audited party in a structured format.
