# Backlog

## Contract

| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | User wants to park an undecided idea without representing it as decided or active work. |
| Authority | Reversible local: writes only one backlog entry file; rollback is deleting or reverting that file. No remote mutation. No VCS commit or credential use. |
| Side effect | One backlog entry as a reversible local state change with recorded evidence. |
| Done | The idea is parked in the backlog and ready to be promoted when it meets the readiness threshold. |

## Inputs

- Idea statement (required): one or two sentences naming the idea and the problem it would address.
