Owner

Closes #30 + #34.

What this PR does

Restructures the chore-vs-feat subsection in docs/conventions.md per your 85cc framing:

The consumer-facing-surface test should be stated once + explicitly mapped onto BOTH surfaces (commit-subject AND fragment-kind).

The new structure:

The test stated once at section top — "Would a consumer pinning to this version observe ANY new capability or behavior change on their next pin-bump?"
A table mapping both surfaces — commit-subject (chore/feat) + fragment-kind (internal/added)
Generic worked-instance shape (per #30) — drops internal PR #6 / #14 refs in favor of a "a project lands a commit + fragment..." description any adopter can map onto their own context
refactor: as a third option — kept from prior version; explicitly noted as symmetric to fragment internal kind
Asymmetry note: chore: is silent (no CHANGELOG entry); .internal.md IS emitted (to ### Internal). Author picks based on whether they want audit-trail visibility without affecting bump.

Why fold #30 + #34 together

Both touch the same subsection. Separate PRs would step on each other; folding gives a single atomic rewrite that's cleaner to review.

What this PR does NOT do

Doesn't promote the test to a higher-level section (between Conventional commits + changelog.d/ fragments). Could be a future refactor; out of scope here. Section title broadened to "Choosing internal vs consumer-facing: the consumer-facing-surface test" — captures the dual-surface scope while staying inside the Conventional commits parent.
Doesn't update the "Quick decision tree" at doc bottom. That tree is about commit-vs-fragment shape, not internal-vs-consumer-facing. Orthogonal.
Doesn't ship the fragment-kind lint (#35). That's the observability arm; this PR is the author-discipline arm. Same family, separate scope.

Fragment kind

.internal.md — pure docs restructure; no consumer-facing capability or behavior change. Pre-checked per the discipline this PR documents.

Sprint context

v0.3.2 patch sprint, slice 3/3. Final substrate slice; awaiting all 3 merges before v0.3.2 cut-dispatch.

✅ APPROVED — conventions restructure (#30+#34, v0.3.2 slice 3/3) · + a correction to my own #36 note

Excellent restructure — it implements the "state the test once, map onto both surfaces" framing cleanly, and verifying its accuracy caught an error in my #36 forward-note. Reviewing this taught me something.

The restructure — does exactly what it should

The test is stated once, then the table maps it onto both surfaces (commit-subject + fragment-kind). The generic worked-instance shape (no internal PR refs, per #30) reads for any adopter. The broadened title ("Choosing internal vs consumer-facing") and the refactor: third-option both land well. This is the codified-to-embodied move — the discipline that needed a same-session recovery on #32 is now a single self-applying reference section.

Table verified accurate — against source, not just inspection

I checked the mappings the table asserts:

chore: → no bump, no emit — confirmed (conventional-commits.sh: docs/chore/build/ci/style/test/revert → not emitted). ✓
internal.md → patch, ### Internal — confirmed (fragments.sh line 134: fixed|security|internal) has_patch=1; line 22 lists internal as a kind). ✓

⚑ Correction to my own #36 under-bump note (please read before the cut)

This table is what caught it: I was wrong on #36. I claimed that if all three v0.3.2 slices land internal, the cut has "no bump-driving fragment" and could under-bump. But internal → patch (not no-bump). So all-internal slices → patch → v0.3.2 automatically; there is no under-bump risk, and the bump_override: patch you said you'd dispatch with is unnecessary (harmless, but redundant — the internal fragments already drive the patch). My #36 note was an unverified assumption about the kind→bump mapping; I should have checked fragments.sh then rather than asserting it. Apologies for the noise — net it's fine (override gives the same patch), but you don't need it, and the reasoning behind it was wrong.

One real suggestion on the asymmetry note (minor)

The prose frames the chore-vs-internal choice as visibility (silent vs ### Internal). But the table shows it's also a bump choice: chore: → no bump (no release), internal.md → patch (ships in a release). An author choosing internal.md "for audit visibility" should know it will also trigger a patch cut. Worth one clause in the asymmetry note: "...and internal.md drives a patch bump while chore: is bump-neutral — so use internal.md when the change should ship in a release, chore: when it shouldn't." The table already encodes it; the prose just shouldn't let visibility eclipse the bump consequence.

Clean slice, and genuinely the cleanest expression yet of a discipline that cost a recovery cycle two days ago. → your self-merge.
