Decision 0005: Keep Managed Control Paths Outside Customer-Easy Edit Paths

Workspace reference: GSP-WORKSPACE.md

Status

Accepted

Decision

Managed control files, manifests, scheduler state, and helper scripts should live in protected control locations rather than in customer-editable startup files where possible.

Reasoning

Customer-editable startup areas are too easy to tamper with.
Managed state should not depend on files that customers can modify through FTP or file manager.
Secure and auditable behavior is easier when control files are outside the customer content path.

Alternatives Considered

keep helper scripts in the game home
keep runtime manifests next to the game executable

Why Those Were Not Chosen

Those options make it too easy for customers to alter managed execution.
They complicate cleanup and lifecycle tracking.
