## Constitution Check
| Gate | Status | Notes |
|------|--------|-------|
| Simplicity (VII) | [PASS/FAIL] | |
| Anti-Abstraction (VIII) | [PASS/FAIL] | |
| Integration-First (IX) | [PASS/FAIL] | |

## Project Structure
[Documentation tree and source layout]

## Complexity Tracking
| Gate | Violation | Justification | Simpler Alt. Rejected |
|------|-----------|---------------|-----------------------|

Key Design Decisions

• Everything starts as NEEDS CLARIFICATION — forces explicit decisions
• Constitution gates are checked twice — once before research, once after design
• Complexity tracking table documents justified violations with rationale
• Three project layout options (single, web, mobile) keep structure predictable
