 - **Manifest-first ordering** — for any new use case, the workflow is **(1) manifest entry** → **(2) contracts** (`xInputSchema`, `xOutputSchema`, `IXUseCase`) → **(3) tests (red)** → **(4) implementation (green)**. The generator emits the manifest + a self-asserting `bind-production.ts` so new features are conformance-compliant by default
 - **Self-asserting `bindProductionX(ctx)`** — every feature's bind-production calls `assertFeatureConformance(container, manifest, symbols, ctx)` at its tail. `pnpm dev` refuses to boot on drift
 - **`pnpm conformance`** — cross-feature event-closure check; fails CI on orphan consumers
+- **New runtime dependencies require a library trace** — adding a runtime dependency to a feature- or core-tier package requires a trace at `docs/library-decisions/<date>-<name>.md` produced by the `/evaluate-library` skill; see ADR-022 and `docs/guides/adding-a-library.md`
