Why this matters
A bundle-local Needs export can validate and publish the Needs defined by that bundle, but composed documentation hierarchies also need a deliberate way to resolve references to Needs owned by related bundles. The propagation rules need to be explicit before implementation: which ancestors are included, whether inheritance is transitive, and what happens when a bundle has no own sources.
What changed
upward_bundlesfixture describing direct-ancestor propagation.This is intentionally a rough specification draft. The implementation and final API will follow after the behavior is agreed.
