EXPANSION · source-linked operating design

Discipline expansion — primary-source register

1,366 words. Current, source-linked operating design or researched guidance. Source: Research/DISCIPLINE-SOURCE-REGISTER.md. Operating model, shelf 1 of 8; library release 2026.09.12-g40.

Reviewed 9 September 2026. These 49 source records supplement, not replace, the baseline S01–S52 register. Some sources overlap intentionally so each expansion role has a self-contained authority trail. Do not call the sum 101 unique references. The custom 26-role division, workflow gates, suggested briefs and routing rules are agency operating design, not mandates issued by these publishers.
