Pattern Proposal: Registry-Derived Governance State
Summary
Derive AEM stages, readiness flags, and execution tags exclusively from the Architecture Work Registry lifecycle state, eliminating independently maintained planning labels that can drift from authoritative work items.
Candidate Pattern
- ID:
pattern-registry-derived-governance-state - Classification: governance
- Maturity: emerging
- Type: emerging
Observed Signals
- AEM independent planning state
- Architecture Work as authoritative backlog
Evidence
Architecture Work
Supporting Evidence
Scope Assessment
- Evidence Strength: high
- Confidence: high
- Applies to: governance, automation, intelligence
Rationale
- AEM currently maintains statuses like [READY] and stages like NEXT without confirmation from the corresponding Architecture Work items.
- Alignment findings indicate that AEM labels are inconsistent with the Architecture Work Registry, causing unreliable governance signals.
