<requirement being waived>| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Requirement | <the requirement, named precisely enough to check> |
| Scope | <what it applies to: whole repository, one stack, one workflow> |
| Reason | <why meeting it is wrong or impossible here> — not “no time”. A waiver records a considered decision; cost alone is a backlog item. |
| Owner | <who is accountable while the waiver stands> |
| Approver | <who accepted the risk> — not the owner, unless the repository has a single maintainer and that fact is itself recorded. |
| Revisit trigger | <the condition that reopens this> — stated so anyone can tell whether it has happened. Prefer an observable event over a date. |
| Tracking issue | <link>, or None plus the reason — for example, issues are disabled on this repository. |
Anything a future reader needs that the table cannot hold.
