engineering-debt-permanently-frozen

Status: IN

Engineering inconsistencies (naming drift, dual test conventions, style divergence) are permanently frozen because the submission-optimized architecture provides no feedback signal for engineering quality — the quality inversion is a stable equilibrium that can only be broken if naming drift causes observable runtime failures, creating a feedback channel that the current architecture lacks.

Justifications

Stability analysis — debt is frozen UNLESS naming errors propagate to test failures, which would introduce the missing feedback signal
