# Repository Mirror Standard

Apply rules for **MirrorToWindows** in this consumer starter. Authority hierarchy:
[SourceOfTruthAndMirrorStandard.md](SourceOfTruthAndMirrorStandard.md).

## Core Model

```text
Local Git (SoT)  →  owner-chosen mirror target path
Platform:         Windows (this starter)
Purpose:          review | backup | portability
GitHub:           version backup — not replaced by mirror
```

## Purpose Matrix (Windows)

| Purpose | Robocopy | Purge extras | Include `.git` |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **review** | `/MIR` | Yes | No |
| **backup** | `/E` | **No** | Owner opt-in |
| **portability** | `/MIR` | Yes | No |

Agents **must confirm purpose** when the owner says "backup".

## OwnerPreferences

See `Workspace/OwnerPreferences.md` § Connectors — **Mirror target path**,
**Mirror purpose**, **Purge on mirror**, **Include `.git`**.

## Consumer Starter Apply

This package ships **docs-only** mirror apply — manual copy or owner-run Robocopy
per `Capabilities/MirrorToWindows/MirrorWorkflow.md`. No bundled automation scripts.
