Canonical: Schema
"language-oriented-programming" (declarative-core layer) is traded against "Toolchain Complexity" (declarative-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Toolchain Complexity" and choosing an explicit operating point.
