# D005 — Post-apply edit, not teardown

- **Status:** active
- **Date:** 2026-07-15

## Decision

After apply, the default recourse for late/changed requirements is **edit intent/decisions → plan → apply**. Teardown is **scoped** (`destroy --env`) and rare.

## Why

Intake is never complete on day one; wiping accounts to fix naming or add a domain is unsafe and slow.

## Alternatives rejected

- Re-running greenfield `init` on an existing customer
- Ad-hoc DROP scripts outside the intent loop
