# Business rules — Footprint-Not-Used

Evidence date: 2026-10-14. Source: `git@bitbucket.org:overdrive/footprint-not-used.git`, `master` at `76b2c93c37ace758f4a7370d56e90de51de81314`.

Provenance labels: **Documented**, **Implemented**, **Inferred**, **Planned**, **Unknown**.

No business-rules document existed in the repository or in `silicon_ark/Footprint-Not-Used/` before this file.

## Rules found in the repository

None that govern a product. The only tracked file is `README.md`. A heading does not enforce validation, eligibility, permissions, pricing, or workflow gates.

No rule below is inferred from the repository name. A name is not a domain rule.

## Identity and access

No login, role, or permission check exists in the tree.

The commit metadata records one author, `Jaco Brits <jaco@overdrive.co.za>`, on 2019-05-22. That is history, not an access-control rule.

**Unknown / Requires Confirmation** who is allowed to push to the Bitbucket repository. Hosting permissions were not inspected. The Bitbucket API client returned HTTP 401, so project settings were not read. A clone of `master` succeeded on 2026-10-14.

## Domain behaviour

No domain object is defined. There is no match, team, tournament, member, order, or account entity in this repository.

Rules written for another repository are not rules of this one:

- `silicon_ark/matchcentre.footprintapp.net/` describes SA Rugby match-centre behaviour. That file set does not name slug `footprint-not-used`.
- `silicon_ark/tournaments.footprintapp.net/` describes a `.gitignore`-only repository. It does not name this slug.

Whether any rule from those directories was meant to apply here is **Unknown / Requires Confirmation**.

## Validation

No validator, schema, form rule, or argument parser exists in this repository.

## Workflows

No status machine, approval step, retry, or scheduled job is defined.

## Explicit non-rules

The following were not adopted, because the evidence does not support them:

- "The product is Footprint." Only the README heading says Footprint. **Not a rule.**
- "The repository is retired or must not be used." Those words appear in the slug. No commit message, README sentence, or issue inside the repository says so. **Not a rule.**
- "Match-centre or tournament rules apply here." Those rules, where they exist, live in other repositories and are not referenced from this remote. **Not a rule.**
- "SonarQube quality gates apply." Two filenames were reported on a scan host and were not read. **Not a rule.**
- Any threshold, fee, eligibility check, or permission matrix. **Not present.**

## Human confirmation

- Whether any business rule for this slug is kept outside the repository.
- Whether the slug was chosen to record that the repository should not be used, and what that decision was.
- Whether rules already written for another Footprint system should ever be attached to this repository.
