atm10-change-protocol

To adapt a change protocol for ATM10, apply a thin overlay that renames files, commands, and sources of truth to use repo-relative paths while preserving the core workflow. This ensures local repository layout alignment without redefining the base process.

Yes, you can add local approval notes by embedding explicit approval notes and review checklists specific to your repository. This integrates local review requirements directly into the bounded plan, scoped change, verify, and report sequence.

A repo-relative change protocol overlay is a lightweight adaptation layer for repository-specific commands and paths. You need one when a base change protocol is correct but requires custom paths and local review steps for a specific repository.

You generate a local change plan by applying the overlay to map sources of truth to repo-relative paths and embed local approval notes. This produces a repository-specific plan that follows the original plan, scoped change, verify, and report sequence.

Adapting the change protocol requires access to repository files and an interactive shell, while optional network connectivity is used only for validation. This allows the workflow to function locally with optional online verification steps.

The limitation of a thin overlay for workflow adaptation is that it does not redefine the core workflow sequence. It strictly adds local context like custom paths and approval notes, meaning fundamental process changes require modifying the base protocol.
