Stewardship Plan
Example purpose¶
This artifact creates the LMU/COICP stewardship backlog.
The backlog is based on monitoring evidence and reviewer feedback, not abstract improvement ideas.

- B-008 — emergency-boundary warning language.
- B-011 — keep AI Incident Summary disabled.
Backlog decision¶
The next cycle is a remediation and verification cycle, not an expansion cycle.
