 "loop": [
  "Write the problem: who, what they are trying to do, where it fails, evidence with source and count",
  "Draft the requirements: user, need, acceptance criteria testable one by one, out of scope stated",
  "Lay out prioritisation on the criteria the team states, scores shown, the trade-off named",
  "Build the launch plan: readiness, audiences, messaging, support, rollback",
  "Write the metrics review: definition, baseline, result, what it means, what next",

  "why": "Trigger 5: a role line and an explicit wakes list. Machinery 2: the universal doors and a standard-library MCP server ride aboard, no engine of the seat's own. Law 5: the anatomy whole, §0–§9 with the limit, the faculty's law in §4. Portability 5: markdown and files, no server. Proof 2: the method is on record; no witnessed run is typed. A score moves only when the proof moves — a machine per seat is the road to 98."
