Issue #3737 asked the /constitution command to synchronize constitutional guidance into every effective task/plan/spec template, including active preset-provided replacements. This changes the fix's direction: rather than teach the command to discover and edit more template layers, it removes the template-propagation behavior entirely. Why this is the correct fix: - The governed templates do not embed constitutional content. plan-template carries a runtime placeholder ("[Gates determined based on constitution file]") and spec-template/tasks-template reference no principles at all. - The consuming commands read .specify/memory/constitution.md at runtime and derive their Constitution Check gates live (plan, tasks), and analyze is the dedicated drift checker that validates spec/plan/tasks against the constitution. Enforcement is therefore already automatic and always current. - Statically editing template files fights the preset/override composition system: a replace preset shadows an edited core template entirely, and a hand-edited versioned preset file is clobbered on its next update. Presets and extensions are formalized, versioned artifacts the command must not mutate. So the original bug (constitution edits missing active preset templates) is resolved by not propagating at all: the runtime read is the single source of truth. The /constitution command is scoped to its own artifact — it drafts and writes the constitution and reports a Sync Impact Report changelog, and no longer reads, edits, or reports on plan/spec/tasks/preset/extension templates.
