+## API Responsibilities
+
+- Project management
+- Document management
+- Knowledge operations
+- Agent coordination
+- Audit access
+
+## Design Standards
+
+- Clear service boundaries
+- Authenticated access
+- Validation of inputs
+- Structured logging
+- Test coverage

+Defines how AI agents operate within Acing IU.
+
+## Agent Requirements
+
+Each agent requires:
+
+- defined purpose
+- documented capabilities
+- controlled permissions
+- audit records
+- validation process
+
+## Initial Agents
+
+### Documentation Agent
+Maintains technical knowledge and manuals.
+
+### Security Agent
+Supports authorized security analysis and validation.
+
+### Research Agent
+Organizes research information.
+
+### Operations Agent
+Supports project workflows.
+
+## Safety Principle
+
+AI agents assist engineering decisions but do not replace review, authorization, or accountability.

+- Code suggestions
+- Debugging assistance
+- Issue analysis
+- Test generation
+- Refactoring recommendations
+- Documentation support
+
+## Required Engineering Controls
+
+AI-generated changes must:

+- Pass automated tests
+- Receive code review
+- Follow project security standards
+- Maintain audit history
+- Be committed through normal Git workflows

+# Genesis Architecture Conflict Audit
+
+## Audit Scope
+
+Reviewed existing Acing IU direction against Genesis foundation documents.
+
+## Resolved Alignment Issues
+
+### Project Naming
+
+Resolution:
+
+Acing IU remains the primary platform name.
+
+Genesis is a foundational subsystem, not a replacement project name.
+
+### Existing RootMaster Work
+
+Resolution:
+
+Previous RootMaster concepts are treated as historical and technical lineage within Acing IU modules.
+
+### Security Terminology
+
+Resolution:
+
+Security research terminology must remain inside authorized testing, validation, and research contexts.
+
+### AI Automation
+
+Resolution:
+
+AI agents and Copilot workflows provide assistance but do not bypass engineering review requirements.
+
+### Documentation Strategy
+
+Resolution:
+
+Documentation is maintained as a source of truth with version history and change tracking.
+
+## Remaining Future Reviews
+
+- API implementation standards
+- Database governance
+- Deployment controls
+- Production security review

+# Acing IU Genesis Governance Framework
+
+Version: 0.1
+
+## Purpose
+
+Genesis Governance defines the rules, standards, and decision framework used to maintain Acing IU as a secure, modular, and maintainable platform.
+
+## Governance Principles
+
+1. Security-first development
+2. Documentation-driven decisions
+3. Traceable changes
+4. Modular architecture
+5. Responsible automation
+6. Continuous validation
+
+## Authority Model
+
+Acing IU follows a layered governance model:
+
+- Vision Layer: Defines mission and long-term direction
+- Architecture Layer: Maintains system consistency
+- Engineering Layer: Implements approved changes
+- Security Layer: Reviews risks and controls
+- Operations Layer: Maintains reliability
+
+## Change Management
+
+Every significant change requires:
+
+- documented purpose
+- implementation record
+- testing evidence
+- security consideration
+- version history
+
+## AI-Assisted Development Policy
+
+AI tools may assist with:
+
+- analysis
+- debugging
+- documentation
+- test creation
+- implementation suggestions
+
+AI-generated changes must still follow review, validation, and repository history requirements.
+
+## Conflict Resolution
+
+When documents conflict:
+
+1. Security requirements take priority.
+2. Architecture standards take priority over isolated implementations.
+3. Current approved documentation supersedes outdated drafts.
+4. Repository history is preserved rather than rewritten.
