"text": "A `protocol_rules.json` file living in the app root. Each protocol is a named object the gate reads at runtime.\n\nStructure:\n\n```json\n{\n \"protocols\": [\n {\n \"id\": \"issue_intake\",\n \"name\": \"Issue Intake\",\n \"required_fields\": [\n { \"id\": \"what_you_did\", \"label\": \"What you did\" },\n { \"id\": \"what_happened\", \"label\": \"What happened\" },\n { \"id\": \"what_should_have_happened\", \"label\": \"What should have happened\" },\n { \"id\": \"scope\", \"label\": \"Scope\", \"type\": \"select\",\n \"options\": [\"Desktop\", \"Mobile\", \"Backend\", \"Build/Release\", \"Docs\", \"Other\"] }\n ],\n \"error_template\": \"Issue intake incomplete. Missing: {missing_fields}\"\n },\n {\n \"id\": \"relay_message\",\n \"name\": \"Relay Message\",\n \"required_fields\": [\n { \"id\": \"from\", \"label\": \"FROM\" },\n { \"id\": \"to\", \"label\": \"TO\" },\n { \"id\": \"re\", \"label\": \"RE\" }\n ],\n \"error_template\": \"Relay missing required header. Missing: {missing_fields}\"\n },\n {\n \"id\": \"ritual_of_alteration\",\n \"name\": \"Ritual of Alteration\",\n \"required_fields\": [\n { \"id\": \"who\", \"label\": \"WHO\" },\n { \"id\": \"what\", \"label\": \"WHAT\" },\n { \"id\": \"why\", \"label\": \"WHY\" }\n ],\n \"error_template\": \"Ritual of Alteration incomplete. Missing: {missing_fields}\"\n },\n {\n \"id\": \"audit_report\",\n \"name\": \"Audit Report\",\n \"required_fields\": [\n { \"id\": \"changed\", \"label\": \"Changed\" },\n { \"id\": \"verified\", \"label\": \"Verified\" },\n { \"id\": \"result\", \"label\": \"Result\" },\n { \"id\": \"next_step\", \"label\": \"Next step\" }\n ],\n \"error_template\": \"Audit report incomplete. Missing: {missing_fields}\"\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\n**Why this approach:**\n- Gate reads JSON, not code — add or edit a protocol without touching the app\n- Timothy can update governance rules by editing one file\n- AI_MASTER.md stays the human source of truth; this is its machine mirror\n- New protocols (Love Gate, code unlock, etc.) added by appending one object\n\n**What it does NOT solve:** detecting which protocol applies to a given action. That still needs either a manual selector (user picks \"I'm doing an issue intake\") or keyword heuristics (fragile). Manual selector is safer for MVP."
