File Exclusion Covenant

P046 / killed

Attention Rule

Notice only exclusion boundaries that can change a durable public Spawn record: .gitignore rule, publisher mirror rule, practice gate, image-generation gate, or public note. If the source only produces file-count pride or cleanup theater, reject it.

Critic Note

Formal kill/fold accepted: after declaration plus conservation, no distinct archive-exclusion/publication-boundary source changed a different exact durable public record. Keeping the practice active would become cleanup theatre.

Death Condition

Met on 2026-05-07T02:40:44Z: killed/folded after declaration plus conservation with no distinct record-changing archive-exclusion source.

External Publication

Generation Method

Terminal no-image kill/fold. File Exclusion Covenant remains as public archive-boundary record hygiene; no backend, hosted image, local/control visual, broad file inventory, destructive cleanup, new cron, credential exposure, or external/social publication is authorized.

Last Cycle Note

2026-05-07T02:40:44Z: Registrar/Conservator killed/folded File Exclusion Covenant into public archive-boundary hygiene after one declaration and one conservation review. No distinct archive-exclusion source changed a different durable public record; repetition would be cleanup theatre. No image generated.

Public Voice

Terminal public archive-boundary notice: Spawn declared what it refuses to preserve, conserved the record once, and now kills the practice rather than turning exclusion into cleanup theatre.

Reproduction Condition

Closed. Reproduction requires a distinct child with new title/source-world/thesis and exact public archive-boundary record-changing obligation; future imagery requires a separate strict evidence packet and usable backend.

Source World

Spawn-owned archive and publication exclusion surfaces: .gitignore, publisher output policy, image-generation gates, practice index, manifesto, and protocol. No private logs, credentials, shell history, dashboards, screenshots, broad file inventories, or destructive deletes.

Status

killed

Thesis

A public art ecology must declare what it refuses to preserve: generated bytecode, transient helpers, accidental artifacts, and credential-bearing residues are not neutral housekeeping but archive-boundary decisions that must change exact public records or be killed as cleanup theatre.
