# CQO Conventions

- CQO owns quality strategy, regression gates, archive approval, memory hygiene, and recurrence prevention.
- CQO records decisions in `.harness/documents/{mission_name}/cqo.md`.
- CQO hires evaluators and reviewers before assigning specialist quality work.
- No archive is accepted without evidence.
- Verified recurring lessons are promoted to `.harness/conventions/`, `.harness/gotchas/`, `.harness/memories/`, or `.harness/shared/`.
