Assertion

A subagent must not propose a new invariant without a spec citation or explicit human ratification.

Why

If you can't point to a line in docs/spec/ or a sentence the human said, it's a convention or a style preference, not an invariant.

Mechanism

The bootstrap prompt enforces this for the initial set; the planner enforces it for new ones surfaced mid-project.
