Pattern Proposal: Workspace Governance Context Injection

Summary

Injects canonical governance blocks into developer assistant entrypoints (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md) at workspace bootstrap.

Candidate Pattern

• ID: workspace-governance-injection-bootstrap
• Classification: intelligence
• Maturity: established
• Type: implemented

Observed Signals

No specific signals listed.

Evidence

Supporting Evidence

• src/cas_runner/bootstrap.py (merge_cas_governance_block, bootstrap, init_workspace) - Replaces or inserts demarcated governance sections into agent markdown files.

Scope Assessment

• Evidence Strength: high
• Confidence: high
• Applies to: ideas-to-life-cas

Rationale

• Intent: Harmonize agent behaviors across third-party IDE agents and CLI tools without relying solely on centralized runtime wrappers.
• Context: Runs during bootstrap initialization when setting up or synchronizing client repos.
• Force: Different agent tools read disparate markdown instruction files
• Force: Maintaining consistency across AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and GEMINI.md manually causes drift
