Flagship systems carry architectural context that should not leak into the public surface. Extracting reusable pieces requires discipline. ### Scope and Naming Every extraction begins with an explicit scope: what is being extracted, what stays internal, and what new name the extracted piece will carry in public. Naming matters because names carry implicit references; an extracted component should not silently advertise the flagship system it came from. ### Redaction and Re-Anchoring Internal references — to integrations, datasets, partner systems — should be redacted, and the extracted component should be re-anchored to its own minimal context. This is how ACE, the Boundary harness, and other public components are prepared.
