Channel
Definition
An output surface a brand appears on — the web (EDS, AEM), email, banner and display advertising, interactive sales aids — each realized from the same Core by its own adapter, and each supporting only the slice of the library that makes sense there
The Agentic DS draft's widening of the problem: the drift is not only across sites but across channels built in disconnected tooling. The schema should say which components have an email equivalent rather than assume all do. For now the web is what gets proved; the others are captured so the contract does not exclude them.
Where the same brand has to look like itself. Every sibling repository here is about one channel; the word is on the list so the contract is not shaped as if that were the only one.
