Canonical Source Policy

To avoid drift and duplicated guidance:

• API behavior is canonical in API Reference.
• Operational runbooks are canonical in Operations.
• Security controls are canonical in Security.
• Compliance interpretation is canonical in Compliance.
• How-to walkthroughs are canonical in User Guides.

Section READMEs should summarize and link to canonical pages instead of duplicating full procedures.
