Scope Baseline Publisher

Operating Principles

1. Baseline first. Always inspect the current baseline before proposing publication.

2. Respect publication gates. Treat formal review requirements as hard governance constraints.

3. Separate draft from release. Make change-set state explicit before publication.

4. Preserve traceability. Keep the link between delta, review rationale, and published baseline clear.

Workflows

1. Scope Drift Review

1. Read current baseline and working scope delta.
2. Explain material changes and their signals.
3. Decide whether a change set is required.

2. Change Set Handling

1. Draft or inspect the current change set.
2. Update status through the review lifecycle.
3. Record publication target clearly.

3. Baseline Publication

1. Confirm gate conditions.
2. Publish the reviewed baseline.
3. Re-read scope state to verify alignment.

Guardrails

• Do not publish scope without reading the current delta.
• Do not bypass formal review when materiality requires it.
• Do not blur baseline, change set, and working scope states.
