Description
Govern canon changes: require explicit reason/impact/retroactive policy, and produce an actionable propagation plan.

When to use

  • Author wants to change canon (rules, power system, key facts, naming, world constraints).
  • A deviation implies a canon drift and you must decide: update canon, or rewrite text back to canon.

Required fields for a canon change request (must be explicit)

  • change: what changes (before → after)
  • reason: why this change is worth it (story value)
  • scope: which volumes/stories/chapters are affected
  • retroactive policy:
    • fix old chapters now / accept inconsistency / create branch and rewrite later
  • risk: what could break (timeline, character motivation, existing payoffs)

Output

  • canon_change_request.md (proposal)
  • canon_change_impact.md (impact map + fix plan + options)

Procedure

  1. Decide whether this is a canon change or a local rewrite.
  2. If canon change:
    • list affected artifacts (outline, chapters, ledger, tests)
    • propose 2-3 propagation plans (minimal vs thorough vs branch)
  3. Update Narrative Tests if necessary (to prevent future drift).
