Per the layered-authority clarification (base myth → global Constitution → repo constitution = local law → task packet → runtime policy), extend .codewhale/constitution.json beyond authority+verification with optional: - protected_invariants — repo invariants the agent must not break - branch_policy — branch/release policy in effect - escalate_when — conditions to stop and escalate to the user All optional; rendered as concise model-facing prose. The global Brother Whale identity anchor and Constitution in prompts/base.md are unchanged (verified untouched on this branch). Dogfood constitution.json filled with CodeWhale's real invariants (prefix-cache byte-stability, transcript replay, stable Rust, cli/tui parity), branch policy (codex/v0.8.53), and escalation rules. Docs note the layered hierarchy. cargo test -p codewhale-tui --bins → 3946 passed; clippy clean.
