`INVALID_DOCTRINE_SOURCE`

HTTP 400

Something about the request must change

Doctrine source must name the item, commit, incident, or decision that produced the rule.

How to fix it (contract guidance)

Send source.kind and a bounded source.reference.

Observed recovery

Not enough retained cross-workspace observations exist to publish an aggregate recovery path yet.

Publication requires at least 3 distinct workspaces. This is withheld data, not evidence that no recovery happened.

Raised by

POST /api/doctrine
