# Boundary Discipline
## Trigger
At parsing, framework, process, network, storage, or user-input boundaries.
## Rule
Validate and normalize at boundaries, trust internal invariants, and keep business logic free of adapter noise.
## Application
1. Name the concrete decision this principle changes.
2. Apply the rule to that decision, not as a decorative citation.
3. Prefer evidence from the current repository/runtime over generic preference.
4. If the principle conflicts with an explicit user constraint, keep the constraint and state the tradeoff.
