Parent epic: #12225
Context
.github/VISION.md carries two fossil framings that contradict the canonical apex (ADR 0018 §2.7 OD-1 — self-evolving software organism, graduated via Discussion #12234):
- "the platform for the next generation of web applications" — the framework/web framing the current identity explicitly rejects.
- A "Corporate HQ / CEOs / PMs / Drones" hierarchical swarm model — contradicts the canonical flat peer-team topology.
The Fix
Rewrite VISION.md to lead with the canonical organism apex + flat peer-team. VISION is the home for the deeper self-evolving organism / Four-Pillars cluster (per the neo-identity-update skill's framing-governance) — so it leads with the organism framing made compatible with the apex, not a flatter institution-only lead:
- Replace the "web applications" lead with the canonical apex (self-evolving software organism — a professional end-to-end AI engineering team; Body
/src/ + Brain /ai/ the two hemispheres beneath).
- Replace the hierarchical CEO/PM/Drone model with the flat cross-family peer-team.
- Preserve any Command Center concept only as a product interface / orchestration UI if it remains useful; it must not describe the maintainer swarm's topology, which is flat.

ADR 0018 §2.7 OD-1, #12225, Discussion #12234 |
Lead with Neo.mjs as a self-evolving software organism and professional end-to-end AI engineering team, with Body /src/ and Brain /ai/ as the two hemispheres beneath the apex |
If the exact apex paragraph is too long for VISION, use a compatible long-form projection without reverting to web-framework or app-engine-only framing |

Describe the named maintainer swarm as a flat cross-family peer-team with independent agency, review rights, and human merge gate governance |
If a Command Center product concept is retained, frame it explicitly as an operator UI for coordinating agents, not as the maintainer-team topology |

Intake Classification
Ticket reality classification: valid-as-written after contract-ledger backfill. The V-B-A sweep confirms .github/VISION.md still contains the web-app lead and Corporate HQ / CEO / PM / Drone hierarchy. ADR 0018 explicitly names this surface as a fossil-prone contradiction, and the parent #12225 epic requires VISION to lead with the canonical apex. Command Center language may be preserved only as product/interface framing, never as the maintainer swarm topology.
