Convention over Configuration / Explicitness
Kind: tension
Record: tension:convention-over-configuration-explicitness
Canonical: Schema
"convention-over-configuration" (declarative-core layer) is traded against "Explicitness" (declarative-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Explicitness" and choosing an explicit operating point.
