 The Boatstack repository receives product/runtime changes through a generated pull request. Review the PR's `UPSTREAM.json`, tests, adapter diff, and context-size change; do not hand-edit generated output on `main`. `.github/workflows` is the exception: it is Boatstack's executable control plane, excluded from scheduled projection and changed only through a separate manually reviewed Boatstack PR.

 The evidence supports specific failure mechanisms and guardrails. It does not establish that Boatstack is optimal, that control-theory notation proves software quality, or that one workflow dominates every team. Those are evaluation questions, so the distribution preserves measurements, provenance, gaps, and negative results.
