Overview
WGS is the constitutional layer for the Aptlantis workspace. It governs root structure, workspace manifests, project registration, standard relationships, workspace services, and agent orientation.
Adoption Guide
Adopt WGS for any root, project, service, or standard that should be discoverable by humans and agents.
Validation Checklist
This checklist validates workspace governance readiness under WGS. SFDS suite conformance for WGS is tracked by WGS.manifest.toml and the WGS Suite Map.

Schema Reference
WGS ships one schema at its root, STANDARD.manifest.schema.toml, plus the fully populated WGS.manifest.toml suite manifest. The manifest schema shape mirrors the SFDS-defined STANDARD.manifest.schema.toml contract, with slightly different required-field emphasis.

Tools
WGS ships seven Python command-line tools under tools/. Five are declared as validators in WGS.manifest.toml; migrateentitymanifests.py and normalizeentitymanifests.py are one-time/repeatable migration helpers referenced by the migration notes. All of them default to dry-run or read-only behavior where mutation is possible, per the WGS agent-safety rules.
Migration Notes
migration-notes/ preserves the history of how the workspace's manifest conventions evolved, per the Manifest Conventions preservation rule: superseded records are archived with their original relative path rather than deleted, and every migration event gets a dated note explaining what changed and why.
Workspace Root Snapshot
workspace-root-snapshot/ is a version-controlled recovery copy of the three drive-root governance files\AGENTS.md, D\INDEX.md. The files at the drive root remain authoritative — this snapshot exists purely so that if the live root copies are ever lost or corrupted, City Hall's own Git history has a recent, hash-verified backup to restore from.
