I3359 — A workflow states which repository may be adopted as foreign, what each adoption records and publishes, and with whose consent

○READY wave 0 · p0 · docs profile · parallel safe

Part of a-foreign-repository-is-adopted-and-measured — A repository not built around Majordomus is adopted from the published installer to an accepted finish, and its overhead and friction are recorded without exposing what its basis does not permit.

Objective

Write .ai/repo/workflows/foreign-repository-adoption.md: the selection measurements, each a command run at the adopted commit (tracked files, commits, primary language, existing test command, no .ai/ or .majordomus/ path or Majordomus region), with floors taken from an owner decision recorded before any candidate is measured; the publication basis (licence or the owner's dated written consent) and what a record may carry under each, including none; the steps as docs/ADOPTION.md states them, each naming where its time is observed (ledger event or run clock); the record fields; and what is never recorded (file contents, secrets, people's names). Link it from .ai/repo/workflows/README.md and docs/ADOPTION.md.

Why

T1 of the owner's report of 2026-10-19 requires a repository not created or structured around Majordomus. Without declared criteria any repository could be called foreign afterwards, and the critique noted that floors chosen by a worker who already knows the candidates are not pre-registered. The field names reached_accepted_finish and seconds_to_accepted_finish match I3129's, so the forms do not diverge.

Current state

git ls-files .ai/repo/workflows lists README.md, continuity.md, plan.md, task-lifecycle.md and use-cases.md. docs/ADOPTION.md:5-16 gives day-one commands and :165-169 removal, with no timing. I3129 (.ai/repo/project/issues/I3129.yaml) names reached_accepted_finish and seconds_to_accepted_finish.

Desired state

One linked workflow a worker can follow to admit a candidate and record one adoption without asking what counts.

Scope

• .ai/repo/workflows
• .ai/repo/workflows/README.md
• docs/ADOPTION.md

Out of scope

• The T1 protocol in the plan (I3360)
• Choosing a repository
• The outside-person form of I3129

Dependencies

None. This issue is a root of the graph.

What waits on this

• I3360✕BLOCKED The T1 protocol and its selection floors are registered before any candidate is measured, and a record without an admitted candidate is refused

Acceptance criteria

• Each selection measurement is a command with the place its floor comes from
• The publication basis distinguishes licence, owner consent and none, and lists what a record may carry under each
• The step list matches docs/ADOPTION.md and names each step's time source
• The workflow says nothing is pushed to the adopted repository's remote
• The workflows README lists it

Validation

• majordomus plan validate
• scripts/derive-check
• scripts/ci/english-only-check

Evidence required

• foreign_adoption_workflow

Evidence

None recorded. Every token above needs a command or an artifact behind it before this issue can be completed; narrative is refused.

Those three fields, the evidence above and the state of the dependencies are all the status is made of. There is no status field to disagree with them.
