 A principle can be violated *only* through a recorded exception, never silently. This is the
 escape hatch that keeps principles from becoming dogma: when a real case needs to break one,
 the cost is made explicit and a human signs off, rather than the rule being quietly ignored.

 changes or a human adds the exception. AFK never auto-writes an exception: granting one is an
