description: >
  Create filtered lib/seeds/ containing only universal items (59% of current). Keep:
  D-001 to D-029 (24 decisions), all 15 patterns, universal learnings. Strip: D-022+
  Watchtower/deployment, L-068-076 infrastructure, framework-specific gaps. Add scope:
  universal marker to each item. Result: clean seed files that don't pollute consumer
  projects.

# T-457: Curate universal seed files — strip framework-specific items

## Context

Seeds (`lib/seeds/`) are copied into consumer projects by `fw init`. They must contain only universal framework governance items — no project-specific decisions, patterns, or infrastructure references. Analysis shows the seed files were already curated (Feb 2026) with proper `scope: universal` markers.

## Acceptance Criteria

### Agent
- [x] `lib/seeds/decisions.yaml` contains only items with `scope: universal` — no project-specific decisions
- [x] `lib/seeds/patterns.yaml` contains only items with `scope: universal` — no project-specific patterns
- [x] `lib/seeds/practices.yaml` contains only items with `scope: universal` — no project-specific practices
- [x] Every item in all seed files has `scope: universal` and `inherited_from: framework` markers
- [x] No Watchtower/deployment/infrastructure references in seed files
- [x] All three seed files parse as valid YAML
- [x] `fw init` copies seed files correctly (init.sh references all three)

## Verification

# All 18 seed decisions have scope: universal (field, not comment)
test "$(grep -c '^    scope: universal' lib/seeds/decisions.yaml)" = "18"
# All 12 seed patterns have scope: universal
test "$(grep -c '^    scope: universal' lib/seeds/patterns.yaml)" = "12"
# All 10 seed practices have scope: universal
test "$(grep -c 'scope: universal' lib/seeds/practices.yaml)" -ge "10"
# All items have inherited_from: framework
test "$(grep -c 'inherited_from: framework' lib/seeds/decisions.yaml)" = "18"
test "$(grep -c 'inherited_from: framework' lib/seeds/patterns.yaml)" = "12"
test "$(grep -c 'inherited_from: framework' lib/seeds/practices.yaml)" = "10"
# No Watchtower/deployment/infrastructure references in seed item data
test "$(grep -ci 'watchtower\|lxc\|proxmox\|traefik' lib/seeds/decisions.yaml || true)" = "0"
test "$(grep -ci 'watchtower\|lxc\|proxmox\|traefik' lib/seeds/patterns.yaml || true)" = "0"
test "$(grep -ci 'watchtower\|lxc\|proxmox\|traefik' lib/seeds/practices.yaml || true)" = "0"
# Valid YAML
python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('lib/seeds/decisions.yaml'))"
python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('lib/seeds/patterns.yaml'))"
python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('lib/seeds/practices.yaml'))"
# init.sh references all three seed files
grep -q "seeds/practices.yaml" lib/init.sh
grep -q "seeds/decisions.yaml" lib/init.sh
grep -q "seeds/patterns.yaml" lib/init.sh
