📖What it means
A decision by Ninad that binds from then on. Rulings are recorded in the cookbook and are the reason a piece of behaviour that looks like a bug may be deliberate — 'fixing' one is undoing a decision.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Policy
A ruling is the admin deciding; a policy is the operational rule written to serve it.
Not: Decision
A ruling comes from the admin and binds; a decision is any recorded choice.
