Named workflow law · hard families are judged at check, soft families are only recorded. Hard is require/forbid/allow/limits (NIKA-POLICY-001) · soft is prefer/optimize, never judged in v1 (spec/10-authority.md). One of 62 words the served contract declares, projected from workflow.schema.json, the same file your editor validates against.
