Subject: [PATCH] claude: add roadmap discipline (v1 target + parking lot,
 anti-creep)

New "## Roadmap discipline" section in the global CLAUDE.md: every project
carries a ROADMAP.md (v1 target = 3-7 capabilities + parking lot; the
feature-gate defaults to parking lot regardless of who proposed the
feature; creep-check at checkpoints). The feature-axis analog of
value-of-information (probes) + patch-default (SemVer). Per-project file
defined as a skeleton in corviduo-project-template.

+## Roadmap discipline — v1 target + parking lot (anti-creep)
+
+Projects sprawl at v0 when features land with **no v1 target to gate
+them against** — every good idea, lacking a home, becomes v0 scope by
+default, and the project never converges. This is the feature-axis
+analog of two disciplines already in force: **value-of-information**
+for probes (don't-measure-what-won't-change-behavior) and
+**patch-default** for version bumps. Same posture —
+*asymmetric default toward not-doing* — applied to features.
+
+**Every project carries a `ROADMAP.md`** (a screenful, not a PRD):
+
+1. **v1 target** — the small, explicit "what must be true to cut
+   1.0": **3–7 capabilities**. A big v1 is itself the creep; keep it
+   tight. This is the done-definition AND the anchor every feature is
+   gated against.
+
+2. **Parking lot (post-v1 / vNext / spinout)** — every deferred idea,
+   named, with a home. Creep lands *here* instead of silently
+   becoming v0 scope. A "feature" that's really its own project is a
+   **spinout**, not v1 scope.
+
+3. **The gate (the anti-creep mechanism):** a proposed feature → *on
+   the v1 path? → in; else → parking lot.* **Default = parking lot.**
+   When both "v1" and "park" are defensible, park it — the same
+   tie-break-to-the-cheaper-tier asymmetry as the SemVer patch-default.
+   Applies regardless of who proposed the feature (operator included);
+   the gate is about v1-path-fit, not provenance.
+
+4. **Creep-check at checkpoints:** when surfacing progress, ask "is
+   what we're building on the v1 path?" Off-path-but-worth-keeping →
+   parking lot, surfaced to the operator, never silently into v0.
+
+The per-project `ROADMAP.md` file shape + location is defined in
+`corviduo-project-template` as a copied-in **skeleton** (like
+`persistent-memory.md` — new projects copy it, then the content
+diverges per project), NOT a byte-identical canonical. The skeleton
+carries the shape; the discipline itself lives in this rule (loaded
+every session), so no byte-sync of content is needed. This mirrors
+the SemVer global-rule + per-project-version-file split: the version
+*field* is conventional, its *value* diverges per project — nobody
+canonical-syncs version values, and likewise nobody syncs roadmap
+content. v1.0 is cut when the ROADMAP's v1 target is met — tying
+directly into the SemVer "v1.0 = discipline-tightening event."
