Size: small · Depends on: Phases 2 and 7

Scope

Manual paste-a-document flow producing proposed guardrails into the existing approval queue
Vendor suggestions stay quarantined from project policy until explicitly approved, at which point they are promoted into the canonical guardrails: list with their own provenance record
Automated vendor-doc fetching only if the manual workflow proves its worth

Exit criterion

A vendor guidance document becomes a reviewable proposal that requires explicit approval before entering the canonical ruleset. Nothing auto-merges.

Rationale for the downgrade

The design doc specified a periodic job scraping vendor docs. Scraping is fragile and breaks constantly; the manual path captures most of the value at a fraction of the cost and maintenance burden.
