Rule 13.2
Chapter 13, Change control Review
A change the rules do not cover must change the rules first: the rule is written or amended in this document, in the same pull request, before the surface moves.
The rule text and the parts under it are the compiler's own English, as the design document writes them.
Rationale
this document is only normative while it is ahead of the tree.
Derives from
CLAUDE.md (“a change the rules do not cover changes the rules first”).
How it is verified
Held by review. No file checks it, and the rule names review as what holds it.
Where the rule says the compiler enforces it:
review.
