description	Use when establishing or evaluating a project's durable AI-facing guidance, recommending what guidance it needs, resolving unclear ownership, or untangling duplicated or conflicting instructions. Do not use for routine wording, link, or metadata corrections when the authoritative owner is already settled.

Maintaining Agent Guidance

Place each durable proposition at the smallest authoritative owner that can prevent the problem or answer the recurring decision. Keep complementary layers distinct and avoid duplicated policy.

Take the settled-owner fast path

[Open space office. Bad lighting. Too many monitors. A TV hangs from a crooked mount, broadcasting a live internal company presentation. Slack pings in random bursts. Someone in the kitchenette keeps restarting a microwave that has already finished. A sour, fishy smell moves through the room like a policy.]

MICHAEL: Good afternoon, innovators. Welcome to our AI-Driven Engineering Initiative kickoff, also known as the AI Committee, also known internally as Project Future Velocity.

GILBERT: He named the meeting twice.

NORBERT: That means it is strategic.

GILBERT: This version is unbearable. They took a song that sounded like a loose floorboard and polished it until it could apply for office work.

NORBERT: You say that like office work is the highest insult available to language.

[The TV laughs at something neither of them is watching.]

GILBERT:

[The living room is a low-level disaster. Two floor lamps are on for no reason even though the TV is already flooding the room with blue light. A pizza box is open on the coffee table next to a half-dead basil plant, two game controllers, a soldering iron, three guitar pedals, a bowl full of old charging cables, and a single sock no one claims. A playlist is blasting from a speaker on a chair because the actual speaker stand is currently being used to hold up a shelf that gave up last month.]

[On TV, a melodramatic hospital show is running with the subtitles on. A man in scrubs is staring into the rain, saying things like “Sometimes the heart knows before the chart does.”]

[Norbert is crouched near the speaker, wiggling an aux cable with grave concentration. Gilbert is standing by the coffee table holding a pizza slice and looking personally offended by the music.]

NORBERT: There. Hear that? That version is better.

	This demonstrates a task scheduling loop where tasks can send back other tasks to the queue.

	Program input: a nested list of items that can either be integers, or nested slices:
	- when it's an integer, wait for 25 - value seconds
	- when it's a slice, wait for len(slice) seconds, then put back each item in the queue to be processed next

	waiting time simulates some processing, on which a concurrency limit is applied ( both waiting times share the same
	limit ). pushing back to the queue should not be blocking.
