354-355: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winUpdate the documented suite totals.
The changed tests add four structure cases and one runner case. The totals are now 18 and 17, not 14 and 16. This makes the specification report incorrect test coverage.

Do not propagate the unratified proposal as a hard rule.
Both entries are in === Hard rules to include verbatim sections. They therefore instruct Opus and Sonnet to apply Elegance by default as a mandatory rule. RSR-PHILOSOPHY.adoc states that this proposal is non-canonical and MUST NOT enter canonical policy before ratification.
Remove the entries, or mark them as non-canonical and exclude them from canonical instruction output until ratification is complete.

Make the preservation test require a successful rewrite.
|| true hides a runner failure. The metadata checks then pass because the original file is unchanged. Require exit 0 and also assert that count and ceiling changed to 2. This proves preservation during the targeted rewrite.

Clarify that “Elegance by default” remains non-canonical pending ratification, define tie-labeling rules, and correct AI-instruction links. Add explicit Debtfile fields and structural validation for testing-taxonomy departures, with coverage for complete, partial, invalid, and preserved metadata records. Update the testing taxonomy to reference the new encoding.
Validation was not run.
