# Engineering standards — moved

> **The engineering-standards corpus moved out of `mgf-common`.** It now
> lives in the **`mgf-standard`** sibling — the federation's standards
> + contract source of truth — and reaches every project as a dependency
> of `mgf-common`.

## Read the standards

```sh
mgf-fed standards            # list every topic
mgf-fed standards LOGGING    # print one (case-insensitive; aliases work)
mgf-fed standards --paths    # show resolved file paths
```

These resolve the corpus via `mgf.standard.standards_dir()` — no
checkout required.

## Browse the source

The canonical Markdown corpus (master index + per-topic Rules boxes):
[`mgf-standard/docs/standards/`](https://codeberg.org/magogi-admin/mgf-standard/src/branch/main/docs/standards/).

## Why it moved

So the *rules* version independently of the *implementation*. `mgf-common`
is the reference implementation + the CLI front door; `mgf-standard` is
the specification, and `mgf-common` depends on it. See
[`../../FEDERATION.md`](../../FEDERATION.md) (the contract pointer) and
[`../cutover/`](../cutover/) for the extraction migration.

> **DOC-02 note:** this is a pointer-only README — a non-cornerstone
> project's `docs/standards/` MUST NOT duplicate the corpus. For standards
> purposes `mgf-common` is now a *consumer* of `mgf-standard`.
