+## Scope
+
+This repository owns reusable poll definitions, options, invitations, signed participation, responses, closing semantics, and result aggregation.
+
+## Documentation Contract
+
+- Treat documentation as part of every behavior change. Update this module's manifest-driven `DocumentationTopic` contributions for affected user and administrator behavior.
+- Keep feature content here; `govoplan-docs` projects it without importing Poll internals.
+- Maintain a static user/admin baseline and run `/mnt/DATA/git/govoplan/tools/checks/check-manifest-shapes.py` after behavior or manifest changes.
+
+## Boundaries
+
+- Scheduling adds meeting-specific workflow and Calendar integration; Evaluation owns surveys and scoring.
+- Keep Access optional and preserve atomic participation constraints.

 that option, and repeated removal/revocation is an idempotent replay even after
 the Poll has moved out of an editable lifecycle state.
 
+Owning modules can also retire a participant's responses through the optional
+response-retirement extension. Retirement is idempotent and soft-deletes the
+live rows so aggregation and capacity checks stop counting them, while answers
+and a reason/source retirement record remain available for audit. The boundary
+accepts only server-trusted respondent or invitation identities and rejects
+secret-like metadata.
+
+## Identified response invariant
+
+Poll stores at most one active response for each identified respondent in a
+Poll. PostgreSQL and SQLite enforce this with the partial unique index
+`uq_poll_responses_active_respondent`; anonymous and tombstoned responses do
+not participate in that invariant. If two submissions race, the losing insert
+is rolled back to a savepoint and follows the ordinary update policy against
+the winning row. Unrelated integrity errors are not converted into response
+updates.

+The migration deterministically retains the latest active row by
+`submitted_at DESC, id DESC` and tombstones older duplicates. Apply it while
+Poll response writes are quiesced or while the platform maintenance lock is
+held. The released migration-head baseline must only be advanced as part of
+the reviewed release that includes this migration; it is not a development
