Major PRs

Major PRs

A PR is major — and requires a DLR — if any of these are true:

Condition	How to detect
Has the major label	Label check
Changes more than 10 files	File count
Touches coherence/canon/	Path match
Touches coherence/intel/	Path match
Touches core architecture folders	Configurable ARCHITECTURE_PATHS

Everything else is a normal PR with zero CoherenceOps overhead.

What Major PRs Must Include

The PR Template asks for:

1. DLR link — path to the decision record in coherence/decisions/
2. Assumptions touched — which ASM-IDs are affected
3. Canon impact — yes/no, and changelog entry if yes
4. Drift resolution — does this PR resolve an existing drift signal?
5. Blast radius — low / medium / high
6. Rollback — how to reverse the change
