Python Port Steering

This directory is the slow-development steering trail for the Python rewrite. It complements docs/python-port-live-agreement.md, which is the product and architecture contract.

Read these before implementing a slice:

• ownership-map.md - service ownership, dependency direction, data flow
• product-debt.md - old assumptions to delete, quarantine, or re-evaluate
• idea-evolution.md - hypothesis changes and the evidence that changed them
• worklog.md - compact running log for the long rewrite
• verification-matrix.md - requirement-to-evidence tracker
• public-beta-gate-audit.md - current public beta gate status and remaining release work
• next-agent-brief.md - current state and next move after checkpoints

The current rewrite uses the local Markdown copy of Architecture Patterns with Python in docs/reference/cosmic-python/ as architecture reference. The useful transfer is service boundaries, repository/store boundaries, service-layer tests, explicit transaction ownership, and a composition root.
