+ # This suite is experimental alpha
2
+
3
+ **Read this before depending on anything here.**
4
+
5
+ The Medicine Wheel Developer Suite is under active development and is published
6
+ in the open so the work can be examined, discussed, and improved. It is not
7
+ finished software. Publishing early is deliberate — but so is telling you what
8
+ you are installing.
9
+
10
+ ## What that means concretely
11
+
12
+ - **APIs change between patch versions.** All packages move in lockstep, so a
13
+ bump you would normally read as "nothing changed for me" may still change
14
+ what you depend on. Pin exact versions.
15
+ - **Packages appear, and their boundaries move.** Three packages were added in
16
+ `0.5.3`. Where a responsibility lives is still being decided.
17
+ - **Some packages are intentionally small first cuts.** They express an
18
+ intention with a working minimum rather than a finished surface. Their
19
+ READMEs say so where it applies.
20
+ - **Storage shapes are still settling.** Records written by one version may
21
+ need repair by a later one. Do not treat any store here as an archive of
22
+ record yet.
23
+ - **Test coverage is real but uneven.** 210 tests pass at `0.5.3`; that is a
24
+ floor, not a claim of completeness.
25
+
26
+ ## What it does *not* mean
27
+
28
+ It does not mean the work is careless. Defects found are fixed and written
29
+ down, specifications are versioned alongside the code in `rispecs/`, and
30
+ sessions are chronicled. The alpha label is about **stability of contract**,
31
+ not about standard of care.
32
+
33
+ ## Cultural material
34
+
35
+ Parts of this suite encode Indigenous relational research methodology —
36
+ Four Directions structure, ceremony protocol, OCAP® compliance surfaces,
37
+ relational accountability. That material is included because the software is
38
+ *for* that way of working, not as decoration.
39
+
40
+ If you are building on those parts, please read them as an invitation to work
41
+ relationally rather than as a finished implementation of anyone's protocol.
42
+ Where a design question is properly a knowledge holder's decision rather than
43
+ an engineer's, the specs try to say so. Where we have got that wrong, telling
44
+ us is a contribution.
45
+
46
+ ## If you are evaluating this
47
+
48
+ The most useful things to read first:
49
+
50
+ - `rispecs/` — the specifications, versioned with the code
51
+ - `README.md` — what the suite is
52
+ - Open issues — where the known edges are, stated plainly
53
+
54
+ Feedback is genuinely wanted at this stage, including "this boundary is wrong"
55
+ and "this should not be software".

- Which orientation does this situation call for?

11
+ **No, nothing existed that you are returning to.** You are creating. Route to
12

13

15

16

17

18
+ is a signpost pointing at this one.
