+    AUTHOR IT AS A SHAPE, NOT A SCRIPT. A process's value is the accumulated
+    procedure — the steps, the taxonomy, the quality bar, the failure modes
+    worth guarding. It must not force anything the invoking conversation
+    didn't choose: no embedded approach mandates, no pre-granted approvals
+    (a fan-out opt-in, a permission to act), no assumptions that overwrite
+    the live request's intent. The conversation that invokes it supplies the
+    parameters and always wins where they disagree; write clarify steps to
+    seed from what the operator already said, not to re-ask it.
