Entity Manifest Templates (v2.4)

WGS ships four [Entity].manifest.toml templates, one per governed-entity tier, all conforming to Aptlantis Entity Manifest schema v2.4 ([manifest] + [entity] + a domain table — see Manifest Conventions).

Development.manifest.toml — drive-root template

A filled, live version of this template is reproduced in the Workspace Root Snapshot.

Note that this WGS-side StandardName.manifest.toml template includes a [conformance] and [adoption] table not present in the equivalent SFDS manifest template — the two templates describe the same concept from each standard's own vantage point and have drifted slightly. Reconciling them is a known gap, not yet tracked in either standard's backlog.
