# Conformance at Creation

> A design rule that a file created under a governed root is named and placed correctly when it is first written, so no conversion queue accumulates behind new work.

## Repair

- Refactored by: Classify Before the First Write
- Detected by: a newly created file that the naming or placement gate refuses
- Violated by: writing a file under a provisional name and leaving its correct name for a later sweep
- Measured by: new files refused on their first run
- Enforced by: naming gate, placement gate
