Assertion
Project invariants in
CLAUDE.md are numbered I-1, I-2, ... and
the number is stable forever.Why
Code comments and decision docs cite invariants by number. Changing
the number breaks every back-reference.
Mechanism
Repealed invariants get a
repealed marker, not a reused number. New
invariants take the next available number.Cited by
