Three Lifecycles, One Commit Boundary
Governed execution preserves three orthogonal lifecycle models — and binds them at a single architectural moment.

Decision Runtime Trace
Three lifecycles. One Commit Boundary.
Decision Infrastructure preserves the semantic, governance, and runtime trace lifecycles as independent artifacts —
bound together only at the architectural moment consequence becomes real.
