Goal

Add a positive architectural boundary to README.md after What it does. The wording describes Ward’s general-purpose product surface and the thin consumer-adapter model without making employment, funding, or legal-ownership claims.

Blessed wording

Product and adopter boundary

Ward is general-purpose public infrastructure. Ward ships the binary, configuration schema, embedded native role policy, release image, and documented runtime contracts. A repository adopts Ward through a thin .ward/ward.yaml that declares that repository’s development verbs and optional security policy.

Adopter-specific configuration, credentials, source code, data, deployment bindings, internal policy, and operating context remain with the adopter. Consumer adapters use Ward’s public interface without becoming part of Ward’s product surface. Changes enter Ward when they express reusable product behavior rather than one adopter’s private implementation.

Acceptance

README.md carries the blessed wording after What it does.
The section remains adopter-neutral and public-safe.
The wording stays architectural rather than making a retroactive ownership claim.

Closing as absorbed by #1624 and #1623. The product and adopter boundary now lives in the canonical documentation program rather than a standalone wording ticket.
