Why this matters
Customers should interact with contracts, not implementation.
Git is excellent for source control. It is not a customer experience, a platform protocol, or a substitute for a stable product contract.
- 01Open, durable access: Give people and agents a documented API that survives repository moves and implementation changes.
- 02Control at the boundary: Apply identity, policy, rate limits, compatibility, and audit evidence where every request enters.
- 03Observable adoption: Measure capability usage and failure directly instead of inferring demand from commits or support tickets.
- 04Implementation freedom: Change storage, orchestration, and delivery systems without forcing every customer to change with them.
