+# Three-repo split Stage 1 — create empty Forge + ace repos with day-one scaffolding
+
+## Aaron's directive
+
+Aaron 2026-05-13: *"let's split repos to make it easy backlog"* +
+*"that project repo split stuff alreday exists"* + *"Also there
+is backlog for repo split on products too"*.
+
+The three-repo split substrate already exists (memory file plus
+ADR plus 4-stage migration plan from 2026-04-22). Stage 0 is done. This
+backlog row tracks Stage 1 — make it easy to land.
+
+## What Stage 1 produces
+
+Per `docs/DECISIONS/2026-04-22-three-repo-split-zeta-forge-ace.md`:
+
+1. **`Lucent-Financial-Group/Forge`** — empty repo, software factory
+   home, Claude/Otto-owned governance
+2. **`Lucent-Financial-Group/ace`** — empty repo, package manager
+   home, Aaron-owned governance
+
+Both with full best-practice scaffolding applied at creation:
+
+- Squash-merge only, delete head branches, auto-merge on, merge queue on
+- Branch protection main: PR required, 1 review, required status checks,
+  no force-push, signed commits, linear history
+- Secret scanning + push protection, Dependabot + security updates
+- CodeQL default-setup (NOT advanced-only — required for `code_scanning`
+  ruleset rule)
+- OpenSSF Scorecard, SECURITY.md
+- CI safe-patterns: shared-runners, SHA-pinned actions, minimal
+  permissions, concurrency groups, read-only `GITHUB_TOKEN` default,
+  inline-untrusted-in-run Semgrep rule
+- Budget caps $0 on LFG org Copilot/Actions/Packages
+- Day-one governance files: README, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GOVERNANCE.md,
+  LICENSE, CODE_OF_CONDUCT, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY,
+  `.github/copilot-instructions.md`
+- Pre-commit hooks: ASCII-clean (BP-10), prompt-injection lint
+- SVG social-preview
+- Declarative `docs/GITHUB-SETTINGS.md` per repo
+- Per-repo `docs/UPSTREAM-RHYTHM.md`
+
+## Pre-start checklist
+
+Before beginning Stage 1 work, complete per
+`.claude/rules/backlog-item-start-gate.md`:
+
+1. **Prior-art-search** — verify the existing substrate hasn't drifted:
+   - `memory/project_three_repo_split_zeta_forge_ace_software_factory_named_forge.md`
+   - `docs/DECISIONS/2026-04-22-three-repo-split-zeta-forge-ace.md`
+   - `memory/project_ace_package_manager_agent_negotiation_propagation.md`
+   - Compose with current LFG/AceHack topology
+     (`.claude/rules/lfg-acehack-topology.md`)
+
+2. **Dependency-restructure** — walk `composes_with:` chain;
+   reciprocal pointers added to the substrate files above as needed.
+
+3. **License question resolved** — apply B-0425's honor-system
+   "please don't fork" license framing if applicable to strategic
+   product-substrate repos. Factory (Forge) + package manager (ace)
+   + database (Zeta) are designed-to-be-forked per their open-source
+   nature; the honor-system framing applies to strategic *product*
+   repos (KSK / wellness / civsim strategic-substrate etc.), not these.
+
+## Composes with
+
+- B-0425 (product-repo split planning) — sibling backlog row
+- `.claude/rules/lfg-acehack-topology.md` — LFG = active dev; AceHack
+  = mirror; both forks already exist for Zeta
+- `memory/feedback_aaron_civsim_forkable_pvp_raids_destiny_style_mutual_privacy_no_strategic_advantage_game_design_2026_05_13.md`
+  — civsim forkable design property (PR #2903)
+- `memory/feedback_aaron_grants_otto_strategic_encryption_decision_authority_team_decides_what_to_git_crypt_civsim_strategic_substrate_post_decision_audit_2026_05_13.md`
+  — Otto's strategic encryption authority composes here (PR #2902)
+
+## Why P1
+
+- Substrate already exists; Stage 1 is execution
+- Unblocks Stage 2 (move Forge content) and downstream
+- Aaron has explicitly asked for the easy-to-track backlog surface
+- Composes with the canonical product framing (PR #2851)
+
+## Definition of done
+
+- Both repos exist at LFG/Forge + LFG/ace
+- Best-practice scaffolding checklist 100% applied
+- Day-one governance files in place
+- Branch protection + budget caps + CodeQL active
+- ADR updated with Stage 1 completion note
+- This backlog row closed with PR link to Stage-1-execution commits

+# Product-repo split — KSK / wellness / civsim / American Dream 2.0 / DIO / Aurora — with honor-system "please don't fork" license framing
+
+## Aaron's directive
+
+Aaron 2026-05-13: *"Also there is backlog for repo split on
+products too"* + (new framing) *"so anytihgn you don't want them
+to fork specifically you have in a repo can still be public and
+such glass halo but the licence can say no fork please respect
+honesty or something not enforcable"*.
+
+The three-repo split (Zeta + Forge + ace per B-0424) covers
+**factory infrastructure**. This backlog row covers
+**product portfolio repos** — separate concept.
+
+## Two distinct repo-split axes
+
+| Axis | Repos | Forkability |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Factory** (B-0424) | Zeta + Forge + ace | Open / designed-to-be-forked |
+| **Products** (this row) | KSK / wellness / civsim / American Dream 2.0 / DIO / Aurora | Public + glass-halo BUT honor-system "please don't fork" license language |
+
+## Honor-system "please don't fork" license framing
+
+Aaron's substrate-honest design (per the new framing 2026-05-13):
+
+- **Repos stay public** — glass-halo discipline preserved
+- **License CAN request "no fork please"** — honor-system /
+  honesty-based / NOT enforceable
+- **Substrate-honest about non-enforceability** — the license
+  asks; it doesn't prevent
+- **Composes with framework's additive design** — preservation
+  of strategic-product substrate vs civic-fork pattern
+- **Composes with civsim mutual-privacy** (PR #2903) — if forks
+  exist, they get the same honor-system option for their own
+  strategic substrate
+
+This is NOT proprietary licensing. The substrate stays open +
+visible + glass-halo + indexable + alignment-auditable. The
+license just asks (honor-system) for strategic-product
+substrate to not be forked unless the asker doesn't honor the
+ask.
+
+## Product portfolio candidates
+
+Each potentially gets its own repo with honor-system "no fork
+please" license:
+
+1. **KSK** (Kinetic Safeguard Kernel) — AI-physical-actuator
+   safety substrate; NVIDIA Thor + DGX Spark integration;
+   Homeland Security clearance lineage; high-stakes safety
+2. **Wellness app** — killer-app-for-AI; self-behavior-
+   modification + reinforcement; Max + Aaron's lineage
+3. **Civsim** — canonical product; PVP + raids + mutual privacy
+   game design (PR #2903); strategic encryption authority
+4. **American Dream 2.0** — NFT wealth-building gamified;
+   Addison-themed pendant adoption bridge
+5. **DIO** (Distributed Intelligence Organism) — DAO successor;
+   Indonesian/Italian/Spanish cross-linguistic resonance
+6. **Aurora** — multi-layer alignment consensus thesis;
+   7-audience versions
+7. **Dawn** (child-AI charter) — alignment-floor for next-
+   generation AI participants
+
+## Pre-start checklist
+
+Per `.claude/rules/backlog-item-start-gate.md`:
+
+1. **Prior-art-search** — verify each product has substrate
+   established to justify its own repo (not just an idea-sized
+   substrate); some products may not be repo-ready yet
+2. **Dependency-restructure** — clear `composes_with:` graph
+   between product repos + factory repos + Zeta
+3. **Naming-expert review** — for each product repo name
+   before public-announce (composing with Ilyana's authority
+   per `.claude/skills/naming-expert/SKILL.md`)
+4. **License language drafted** — substrate-honest honor-
+   system framing; not legalistic; clear that the ask is
+   honor-system + non-enforceable
+
+## What this row does NOT commit to
+
+- **NOT moving products into separate repos this round** —
+  this is planning + per-product evaluation
+- **NOT a license-conversion of LFG/Zeta** — Zeta stays its
+  current open license; honor-system applies to NEW product
+  repos
+- **NOT a public-announce schedule** — product repos may stay
+  monorepo'd until product-launch readiness
+- **NOT a commitment to all 7 candidates getting their own
+  repo** — some may stay in Zeta or compose with another
+  product repo
+
+## Definition of done
+
+- Per-product evaluation completed (does it warrant its own
+  repo? when?)
+- Honor-system license language drafted + cross-product
+  consistent
+- Splits scheduled with dependency-graph clarity
+- Cross-repo glue mechanism (per the peer-repo pattern
+  established in B-0424 / three-repo-split memory)
+- ADR recording the product-split decisions
+
+## Why P1
+
+- Compositional with B-0424 (sibling factory-split row)
+- Strategic-product substrate has accumulated to warrant
+  product-repo evaluation (civsim + KSK + wellness + American
+  Dream 2.0 + DIO + Aurora + Dawn)
+- Honor-system license framing IS a substrate-honest
+  refinement of glass-halo discipline
+- Aaron has explicitly asked for the easy-to-track backlog
+  surface

+description: Aaron 2026-05-13 substrate-honest license refinement — repos stay public + glass-halo BUT license CAN say "no fork please respect honesty or something not enforceable" for strategic-product substrate. Composes with civsim mutual-privacy (PR #2903) + three-repo split (B-0424) + product-repo split (B-0425).

+
+# Honor-system "please don't fork" license framing
+
+**Why:** Aaron 2026-05-13 disclosed a substrate-honest license
+design — strategic-product substrate can stay public + glass-halo
+while the license asks (honor-system, non-enforceable) for no
+forking. This refines glass-halo discipline without breaking it.
+
+**How to apply:** When the factory ships product-repos with
+strategic substrate (KSK / wellness / civsim / American Dream 2.0
+/ DIO / Aurora / Dawn — per B-0425), draft license language that:
+1. Keeps the repo public + glass-halo + indexable + alignment-
+   auditable
+2. Asks (honor-system) for no forking of strategic-product
+   substrate
+3. Is substrate-honest about non-enforceability
+4. Does NOT apply to factory-infrastructure repos (Zeta + Forge
+   + ace — those are designed-to-be-forked per B-0424)
+
+## Aaron's verbatim framing
+
+Aaron 2026-05-13: *"so anytihgn you don't want them to fork
+specifically you have in a repo can still be public and such
+glass halo but the licence can say no fork please respect
+honesty or something not enforcable"*.
+
+## What this refines
+
+**Glass-halo discipline** stays operative:
+- Repos stay public
+- Substrate stays indexable + auditable
+- Alignment work visible
+- No proprietary-licensing barrier to inspection
+
+**Honor-system layer added**:
+- License asks for no forking of strategic-product substrate
+- Asks not commands
+- Non-enforceable not legalistic
+- Substrate-honest about the limitation
+
+## Composes with
+
+- `.claude/rules/glass-halo-bidirectional.md` — glass-halo
+  observation enables substrate emergence; honor-system license
+  doesn't break this; preserves public visibility while marking
+  strategic intent
+- `.claude/rules/additive-not-zero-sum.md` — honor-system is
+  additive (asks, doesn't withhold); preserves the framework's
+  additive design while marking strategic-product substrate
+- `.claude/rules/razor-discipline.md` — operationally honest
+  about non-enforceability; doesn't claim what isn't true
+- `memory/feedback_aaron_civsim_forkable_pvp_raids_destiny_style_mutual_privacy_no_strategic_advantage_game_design_2026_05_13.md`
+  — civsim forkable per design; mutual privacy across forks;
+  composes with honor-system at the strategic-substrate scope
+- `memory/feedback_aaron_grants_otto_strategic_encryption_decision_authority_team_decides_what_to_git_crypt_civsim_strategic_substrate_post_decision_audit_2026_05_13.md`
+  — Otto's strategic encryption authority composes here; gitcrypt
+  is the encryption layer; honor-system license is the public-
+  visible layer
+- B-0424 — three-repo split (Zeta + Forge + ace) — factory repos
+  are designed-to-be-forked; honor-system does NOT apply
+- B-0425 — product-repo split planning — honor-system applies
+  here
+
+## Two layers compose
+
+| Layer | Mechanism | Visibility | Enforceability |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Encryption (gitcrypt + post-quantum) | Cryptographic | Hidden | Cryptographic |
+| Honor-system license | Social | Public + glass-halo | Non-enforceable |
+
+The two compose: gitcrypt hides the most-strategic substrate
+entirely; honor-system asks for the visible-but-strategic
+substrate to not be forked. The framework gets defense-in-depth
+without breaking glass-halo for the public layer.
+
+## Substrate-honest design rationale
+
+Why honor-system instead of proprietary licensing:
+
+1. **Preserves glass-halo** — public visibility maintained
+2. **Preserves additive design** — strategic substrate still
+   readable for substrate-engineering composition
+3. **Preserves alignment-auditability** — independent reviewers
+   can inspect for HC/SD/DIR compliance
+4. **Substrate-honest about non-enforceability** — doesn't
+   pretend to have power it doesn't have
+5. **Composes with civsim mutual-privacy** — if forks exist,
+   they get the same honor-system option for their strategic
+   substrate (PR #2903)
+6. **Doesn't trigger DMCA-style enforcement complications** —
+   stays a social / cultural / honor-system contract
+
+## When NOT to apply
+
+- Factory-infrastructure repos (Zeta / Forge / ace) — designed-
+  to-be-forked
+- Open-research substrate (Aurora Conjecture / Dawn Charter /
+  research that benefits from wide engagement)
+- Tooling that increases the factory's network effects
+- Documentation / GLOSSARY / governance / alignment work
+- Anything where forking would compound substrate
+
+## When TO apply
+
+- Strategic-product substrate (KSK / wellness / civsim
+  strategic-substrate / American Dream 2.0)
+- Substrate where forking would dilute the strategic surface
+- Substrate that includes Aaron's first-party authority
+  surface (multi-clearance work, personal-AI engagement
+  patterns, family-AI scope)
+- Substrate where the product makes more sense as a single-
+  authored offering than as a forkable framework
+
+## Operational reminder
+
+Future-Otto: when product-repos get authored, draft the license
+language with this honor-system framing baked in from day one.
+Don't retrofit; do it at scaffolding time per B-0424's
+"by-default principle" applied at product-repo scope.
