+## Key Facts
+
+These facts are the current architecture baseline. Do not weaken them without a
+deliberate architecture cut and tests.
+
+- The SRP/URP architecture is phase-closed enough to extend. The public object
+  model, managed asset selection, URP renderer data/features/passes, native
+  frame planning, stage recording, and RenderGraph execution now form a single
+  path.
+- This is not full Unity URP compatibility yet. The public shape is intentionally
+  Unity-like, but the execution feature set is still smaller than Unity URP.
+- `UniversalRenderPipelineAsset` can be selected as the active managed SRP
+  asset, so users can route rendering through the URP package. Treat that as
+  supported but still transitional.
+- The current URP package is not yet a complete replacement for the built-in
+  renderer in the strong sense. URP owns selection, planning, renderer feature
+  organization, pass ordering, and stage recording; native code still supplies
+  scene extraction, renderer-list realization, RenderGraph execution, RHI
+  resources, and the default scene draw backend.
+- Native execution is not the problem by itself. Unity also executes through a
+  native engine. The risk is native code retaining built-in forward pipeline
+  policy instead of acting as a backend executor for URP-declared work.
+- The desired ownership model is: URP decides what to render, when to render it,
+  which renderer lists/passes/features are active, and which stages exist;
+  native executes those declarations without smuggling in built-in pipeline
+  policy.
+- Hidden fallback is dangerous. If a managed URP stage declares support but
+  cannot record, the failure should be visible. Do not silently draw the same
+  stage through the default built-in path and call it URP.
+- The test suite has useful coverage, but it is not complete enough to call the
+  SRP/URP stack fully locked. Add high-value contract tests as architecture
+  boundaries close; do not pause the architecture work for a broad test-system
+  rewrite yet.
+
+## Near-Term Goals
+
+Current priority is to finish the SRP/URP architecture cut, with targeted tests
+on each boundary. The immediate product goal is to make URP the render decision
+layer and make native rendering the execution layer.
+
+- Demote `BuiltinForwardPipeline` from policy center toward default native scene
+  draw backend. It can remain a backend/fallback implementation, but it should
+  not decide URP pass order, feature participation, or stage policy.
+- Make `ScriptableRenderer` and its active pass queue the authority for URP
+  main-scene scheduling. Opaque, skybox, transparent, depth, shadow, post, and
+  final-output flow should come from URP blocks and passes.
+- Keep `DrawObjectsPass` and `DrawSkyboxPass` as managed URP pass declarations
+  that execute through renderer-list/native scene-recorder backends.
+- Tighten stage support rules. If a fullscreen or main-scene stage requires
+  managed graph recording, require the selected renderer/pipeline to support and
+  record that stage.
+- Grow managed RenderGraph only behind Unity-shaped APIs: resource declarations,
+  frame data, renderer-list drawing, pass data, and command recording. Avoid
+  exposing native private graph or scene-recorder details.
+- Add contract tests while cutting architecture: URP selection, renderer data
+  selection, renderer override, pass event ordering, renderer feature
+  invalidation, stage planning, RenderGraph recording, and no hidden built-in
+  fallback.
+- Defer broad test-suite reorganization until these SRP/URP ownership boundaries
+  are stable. Reorganizing too early risks preserving transitional behavior.

 ## Pipeline Selection
 
 - `GraphicsSettings.renderPipelineAsset == null` means the renderer uses the
