The operator's rule (2026-10-16): needing a decision does not make a fix a feature. A feature (playbook 07) is the larger kind: it touches several modules and has a research effort or a design before it. Playbook 08 said a fix that needs a decision stops and becomes a feature; it now says the decision is settled first (step 1) and the fix stays small. A playbook edit of a few lines: the operator's word on this pull request is its review (playbook 08 step 4).
