Service Discovery / Operational Complexity
Kind: tension
Record: tension:operational-complexity-service-discovery
Canonical: Schema
"service-discovery" (extensibility-core layer) is traded against "Operational Complexity" (structural-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Operational Complexity" and choosing an explicit operating point.
