…cy, explain afterwards (Aaron 2026-05-13) Aaron 2026-05-13 disclosed canonical cross-agent-edit authorization that softens the territory-boundary discipline Otto had been operating under: "yall can alwasy edit yourself or each other if you communicate it or they are stuck and it's an emergency and you explain afterwards" Decoded: - y'all = the 5 factory AI agents that commit (Otto + Vera + Riven + Lior + Alexa-Kiro) - Cross-agent file edits are first-class within the factory - Two permitted paths: communicate-the-edit OR stuck-and-emergency - Universal discipline: explain afterwards Updates the implicit territory-boundary discipline that produced: - 0532Z branch-bleed-over recovery via worktree-isolation (this recovery was correct; the framing softens) - Otto deferring tools/bus/*.ts tsc-tools failures to Vera (now Otto can fix if communicated) - Otto avoiding cross-agent typo / schema-violation fixes (now permitted with communication) Composes with honor-those-that-came-before (preserved), dont-ask- permission (within authority once authorized), mechanical- authorization-check (Aaron IS the source; this message IS the authorization), future-self-not-bound (cross-agent revision is same shape extended across agents), substrate-or-it-didn't- happen (explanation must be substrate, not chat-only), glass- halo-bidirectional (cross-agent edits are observable substrate). Potential follow-up: promote to .claude/rules/cross-agent-edit- authorization.md after cooling period if discipline proves load-bearing. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
Adds a new memory/ feedback entry capturing cross-agent edit authorization guidance (communicate the edit, or emergency when another agent is stuck; explain afterwards) and how it composes with existing .claude/rules/* policies.
Changes:
- Introduces a new feedback memory file documenting the cross-agent-edit authorization and its operational mechanics.
- References existing rule files in
.claude/rules/as the composing policy chain. - Records session-specific examples and follow-up promotion guidance (memory → rule after cooling period).

- This bullet lists "Alexa-Kiro" as one of the 5 factory agents; the roster reference card lists the agent name as "Alexa" (Kiro is the IDE/harness). For consistency and grep-ability across docs, use the same naming here as in
.claude/rules/agent-roster-reference-card.md.
- **y'all** = the 5 factory AI agents that commit to repo (Otto +
Vera + Riven + Lior + Alexa-Kiro per the agent-roster
reference card)

Real-life events as raw source material for narrative adaptation. Otto authorized to be overly dramatic. This shard inaugurates settlers log #1.

Summary
Aaron 2026-05-13 disclosed canonical cross-agent-edit authorization for the 5 factory AI agents (Otto + Vera + Riven + Lior + Alexa-Kiro):
Two permitted paths: communicate-the-edit (default) OR stuck-and-emergency. Universal discipline: explain afterwards.
What this updates
Softens the implicit territory-boundary discipline that produced:
tools/bus/*.tstsc-tools failures to Vera (now Otto can fix if communicated)Composes with
