# Boundary Policy Classification by Role

When defining durable vs transient artifact boundaries within a multi-layer architecture, classify by *role* not *path*. Same directory can contain both types (e.g., reports/ has one-shot audits and durable assessments). Ground classification in concrete examples from each layer, validate consistency with parent architecture, and use adversarial review to test for loose language ('it depends') and implementability gaps.
