Semantic Debt Policy

Kind: algorithm

Record: algorithms:semantic-debt-policy

Canonical: Algorithms

Closure: Dependencies in load order

Classify the relation a task holds to each controlled debt concept — backward-compatibility path, failure-masking fallback, deprecated or dual production path, deferred required work, shortcut debt, and unsupported superlative claim — blocking only the introduce and retain relations while allowing mention, analysis, quotation, and removal.
