**TLDR:** A registry layer where feature definitions, versions, ownership, and usage states are centrally maintained.

<p>A feature registry makes visible what each feature means, which version is in use, and which models depend on it. This structure reduces duplication, strengthens governance, and lowers maintenance cost. In organizations where dozens of models rely on shared signals, sustainability becomes difficult without a feature registry. It is a foundational element of order and institutional memory in feature infrastructure.</p>
