+# Documentation Ownership
+
+Status: Approved
+Owner: OWNER
+
+## Purpose
+
+Define the ownership model for documentation under `docs_build/dev/` after Project Instructions consolidation.
+
+## Canonical Ownership
+
+`docs_build/dev/ProjectInstructions/` owns:
+- permanent governance
+- team instructions
+- standards
+- addendums
+
+`docs_build/dev/PR/` owns:
+- PR workflow documentation
+- reusable PR templates
+- historical or reference PR documents
+
+`docs_build/dev/reports/` owns:
+- generated reports
+- generated validation artifacts
+- audits
+
+The repository root `archive/` owns:
+- historical reference material only
+
+## Rules
+
+- No active governance may exist outside `docs_build/dev/ProjectInstructions/`.
+- No reusable PR template may exist outside `docs_build/dev/PR/templates/`.
+- No generated report may exist outside `docs_build/dev/reports/`.
+- No active document may exist outside its owning area.
+- Historical reference material must not be treated as active governance.
+- `docs_build/dev/start_of_day/` is a protected legacy handoff area and must not become an active Project Instructions source.
+
+## Folder Rules
+
+- `docs_build/dev/ProjectInstructions/standards/` contains active contract, model, and platform standards.
+- `docs_build/dev/PR/templates/` contains reusable PR templates.
+- `docs_build/dev/PR/reference/` contains historical or reference PR documents.
+- `docs_build/dev/reports/audits/` contains audit report outputs.
+
+## Validation
+
+Documentation ownership cleanup PRs must verify:
+
+- no active Project Instructions outside `docs_build/dev/ProjectInstructions/`
+- no reusable PR templates outside `docs_build/dev/PR/templates/`
+- no generated reports outside `docs_build/dev/reports/`
+- no runtime/product/API/database files changed unless explicitly scoped

+- `archive/docs_build/dev/admin-notes/Table layout.txt`
 
 ## Review Rule
 
 Future Project Instructions reviews must include these files automatically when they are present in either:
 
 - an extracted `ProjectInstructions.zip` bundle
 - the active project instruction directory
-- `docs_build/dev/admin-notes/`
+- `archive/docs_build/dev/admin-notes/`
+
+Archived reference files are not active governance. If they conflict with active Project Instructions, `docs_build/dev/ProjectInstructions/` wins unless OWNER explicitly approves a newer governance change.
 
 Treat these files the same as existing instruction documents for read-set, review, preservation, and reporting purposes.
