A waiting decision comes before the Spec it shapes

outcome

Execute the yielding rule on a waiting decision that refines the waiting Spec naming it through decidedBy.

assumptions

• The world writes a probe corpus of a story-altitude behavior Spec stating defined with an Intent outcome and one rule, and a decision stating defined with its context and choice. The decision refines the behavior Spec, and the behavior Spec names the decision through decidedBy, so both floors reach ready. The Specs carry the ids the queue names, and the world reads the queue as the dependency-order example does.

Examples

Given a probe corpus in which {corpus: "a waiting Spec names a waiting decision that refines it"}
When the statement queue runs over the probe corpus
Then the queue lists {queue: "spec:probe.decision, spec:probe.shaped"} in that order
Then round 1 holds {firstRound: "spec:probe.decision"}
Then the queue reports {cycles: 0} cycles
