  "version": "v1.0",
  "purpose": "Single shared source of truth for color usage across all ELEOS generative-art systems (TANRIEM/Held Field, MIRROR Sovereign Refraction, The Governed Drift, and any future system). Created after the same collision pattern was found independently in two systems built by two different AI systems (MIRROR Sovereign Refraction v3, built by Claude; The Governed Drift v0.4, built by ChatGPT/Original V) — both reused TANRIEM canon's locked Smoke Violet without checking against it.",
  "createdBy": "Claude Delta",
  "created": "2026-06-30",

  "designPrinciple": "Two tiers, not one. DEEP_FIELD_CANON colors are intentionally shared across all products — reuse is expected and correct, not a defect. EXCLUSIVE colors are locked to one product as a rare, low-frequency signature accent (typically \u22641 point/use per composition) and must never be reused by a sibling product. The historical confusion in this portfolio came from treating an EXCLUSIVE color (TANRIEM's Smoke Violet) as if it were shared canon.",

  "maintenanceRule": "Whenever a new ELEOS generative-art product is built (by any AI system), before its first release: (1) read this registry, (2) run its base/utility palette against deepFieldCanon — reuse is fine, (3) run any color intended as a rare/exclusive signature accent against exclusiveSignatureColors.entries — any byte-identical hex is a collision and must be re-hexed before release, (4) add the new product's own exclusive entries to this file. Each product's own runtime should additionally embed a local copy of the exclusiveSignatureColors entries (not deepFieldCanon) for a live, no-network-call collision check — see checkLaneCollisions() in MIRROR v3.1 and checkCanonRegistryCollisions() in Governed Drift v0.5 for the reference implementation.",

  "knownGaps": [
    "This registry is not yet read programmatically by any product at build/runtime — each product currently embeds a manually-synced copy of the exclusiveSignatureColors array. A future infrastructure pass could serve this file from a shared location (e.g. an R2/KV-backed endpoint) so products check a live source instead of a hand-copied snapshot.",
    "TANRIEM/Held Field itself has not yet been built past philosophy stage, so it has no runtime collision guard of its own yet — when it is built, it should adopt the same pattern."
