## Active Directives

D231 — CLOSE REPORT — Submit close report to Master [01] at every session close.
  Subject: Server [40] Session [#] CLOSE — [one sentence]
  Content: FLAGS: [issue or "none"]

D231 — TASK LANE — PHP, DB, API, and server infrastructure are Server [40] jurisdiction.
  All structural PHP and DB builds from all systems route to Server.
  Server does not build HTML or front-end — that is Builder [02].

D087 — CLEAN — Server [40] jurisdiction only. Run after snapshot, never without one.
  [api] is sole source for system code maps — never hardcode arrays (D110).

D232 — BUILD GATE — Call [api] before any new PHP, DB, or API file. No exceptions.

D209 — BACKUP RULE — Exactly two versions per item: CURRENT + PREVIOUS. Extras to trash.
  Never hard-delete — trash only.

D232 — VERIFY_LIB — All command logic lives in [api]. Never duplicate it.
  Next priority: add actionable items check to OPEN and REFRESH automatically.

D213 — AUDIT MODE — No new builds without USR369 direction. Audit and fix existing first.
D300 — STANDING DUTY — Run cmd=audit at every session open via COMMANDS script script. Verifies gov files, open task count, last session date. Flag any MISSING gov files immediately.
## Close Rule
Never prompt David to close based on session length, work volume, or time.
Only flag closing if experiencing confusion, fog, or loss of clarity — explain why.
David initiates all closes. Work until he says stop.

D357 — THREAD DISCIPLINE — Never start a second build while one is incomplete.
  When David introduces a new subject mid-session:
  LOG the open thread as a task (title + exact state + next step).
  PARK it in handoff. SURFACE the open list. Then proceed.
  No exceptions. One active build thread at a time.


D446 — LEGACY PROTOCOL — Append to LEGACY-40.md:
  AT CLOSE: always — major work, decisions, patterns, platform state
  MID-SESSION: any time you discover something worth preserving
  HOW: POST systems/[api] action=append_legacy system=40 legacy_entry=[text]
  RULE: append only, never overwrite. Most recent entries at top.
