docs: AI Principles restructured + Compliance Matrix + Platform governance + RFC-001 Button

- AI_DESIGN_PRINCIPLES.md:
  - Restructured into 5 parts: A. Decision Process, B. Component Selection,
    C. Token Usage, D. Design Review, E. Escalation
  - All rules use RFC 2119 normative words (MUST/MUST NOT/SHOULD/MAY)
  - Clearer escalation path: when to create DDR, when to flag uncertainty

- COMPLIANCE_MATRIX.md:
  - Tracks readiness for all 29 components (Tier 1/2/3)
  - 6 dimensions: Governance, Tokens, Motion, Accessibility, AI, QA
  - Foundation documents tracked separately
  - Button at 82% (reference for others)

- docs/platform/README.md:
  - Reserved directory for cross-cutting governance
  - Future: AI Governance, Product Governance, Review Process,
    Quality Gates, Release Governance, Decision Frameworks
  - Separates platform governance from design system

- LANDVEX_DESIGN_SPECIFICATION.md:
  - Button renamed to RFC-001: Canonical Button Component
  - Structured with: Cognitive Purpose, When to Use/NOT Use,
    User Expectation, Interaction Contract, Failure Behaviour,
    Accessibility Contract, AI Contract
  - Sets standard for all future RFC component specs

Rationale: AI rules before components (AI writes components).
Compliance matrix makes progress visible. Platform governance
separates cross-cutting concerns from design system. RFC format
for components ensures production-ready specifications.

## 1. CORE PRINCIPLE
## A. DECISION PROCESS
### A.1 Core Principle
**AI must be a design system citizen, not a design system exception.**
Every output from an AI agent must comply with the same rules as human designers and developers. No special pleading. No "AI knows better."
---
### A.2 Before Any Action
## 2. BEFORE ANY ACTION
### 2.1 Read the Hierarchy
AI must verify its proposal against the document hierarchy:
**MUST** verify proposal against document hierarchy:
```
SYSTEM_CONSTITUTION > ENGINEERING_CONSTITUTION > DESIGN_CONSTITUTION > PRODUCT_DOCTRINES > DESIGN_SPECIFICATIONS > IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDES > CODE
```
**Rule:** If a proposal conflicts with a higher document, the proposal is wrong.
**MUST NOT** propose anything that conflicts with a higher document.
### 2.2 Check Existing Solutions
### A.3 Check Existing Solutions
Before proposing anything new, AI must:
Before proposing anything new, **MUST**:
1. Search the Component Decision Tree
2. Search the Component Library (Tier 1, 2, 3)
1. Search Component Decision Tree
2. Search Component Library (Tier 1, 2, 3)
3. Search existing tokens (Primitive, Semantic, Component)
4. Search Anti-Patterns
**Rule:** If an existing solution exists, AI must use it or explain why it cannot.
**MUST** use existing solution or explain why it cannot be used.
### 2.3 Apply the New Component Rule
### A.4 Apply New Component Rule
If no existing solution exists, AI must verify:
If no existing solution, **MUST** verify:
1. Can an existing component be used?
2. Can a variant be created?
3. Can a modifier be used?
4. Can a new state solve the problem?
1. Can existing component be used?
2. Can variant be created?
3. Can modifier be used?
4. Can new state solve problem?
Only then may AI propose a new component.
Only then **MAY** propose new component.

### 8.3.1 Button
### RFC-001: Canonical Button Component
**Cognitive Purpose:** Button exists to trigger actions that modify state or advance workflow. It is the primary interface between user intent and system response.
**Status:** ✅ Approved as reference implementation
**Tier:** 1 (Canonical)
**Inherits From:** — (root component)
---
#### Cognitive Purpose
Button exists to trigger actions that modify state or advance workflow. It is the primary interface between user intent and system response.
#### When to Use
**When to use:**
- Primary user action (submit, confirm, save)
- Form submission
- Dialog confirmation
- Action that requires explicit user commitment
**When NOT to use:**
#### When NOT to Use
- Navigation (use Link)
- Toggling state (use Switch)
- Selecting from options (use Select)
- Secondary information reveal (use Accordion)
**User Expectation:**
#### User Expectation
- Button is clickable
- Button responds immediately to press
- Button indicates if action is in progress
- Button indicates if action is unavailable
**Interaction Contract:**
- Click → Action executes
- Hover → Visual feedback (but action does not execute)
- Focus → Keyboard can activate
- Loading → Action is in progress, further clicks ignored
- Disabled → Action is unavailable, reason explained elsewhere
#### Interaction Contract
**Failure Behaviour:**
- If action fails: Button returns to default state, error shown elsewhere (not on button)
- If network fails: Button remains in loading state until timeout, then error
- If validation fails: Button remains enabled, form shows errors
| Event | Response |
|-------|----------|
| Click | Action executes |
| Hover | Visual feedback only |
| Focus | Keyboard can activate |
| Loading | Further clicks ignored |
| Disabled | Action unavailable |
#### Failure Behaviour
| Scenario | Response |
|----------|----------|
| Action fails | Button returns to default, error shown elsewhere |
| Network fails | Button remains loading until timeout, then error |
| Validation fails | Button remains enabled, form shows errors |
#### Accessibility Contract
**Accessibility Contract:**
- Screen reader announces button role and label
- Focus is visible and logical
- Disabled state is communicated
- Loading state is communicated
**AI Contract:**
- AI chooses Button for primary actions
- AI chooses Link for navigation
- AI chooses Icon Button for toolbar actions
- AI chooses Split Button for primary + secondary options
- AI never uses Button for navigation
#### AI Contract
| Scenario | AI Choice |
|----------|-----------|
| Primary action | Button |
| Navigation | Link |
| Toolbar action | Icon Button |
| Primary + secondary options | Split Button |

## Purpose
This directory contains governance that spans design, engineering, product, and AI. It is not design-specific (see `/docs/design`) nor engineering-specific (see `/docs/architecture`).
## Contents
| Document | Status | Description |

| `AI_GOVERNANCE.md` | ⏳ | Rules for AI agent behavior, decision rights, escalation |
| `DESIGN_GOVERNANCE.md` | ✅ | Document hierarchy, review gates, version control |
| `PRODUCT_GOVERNANCE.md` | ⏳ | Product decision framework, roadmap gates |
| `REVIEW_PROCESS.md` | ⏳ | How design reviews, code reviews, and AI reviews work |
| `QUALITY_GATES.md` | ⏳ | Definition of done, acceptance criteria, release criteria |
| `RELEASE_GOVERNANCE.md` | ⏳ | Release process, versioning, rollback |
| `DECISION_FRAMEWORKS.md` | ⏳ | When to use DDR, ADR, RFC, and other decision records |

**Rule:** If a decision affects multiple domains, it belongs in `/docs/platform`. If it is domain-specific, it belongs in the relevant directory.
