No open questions and no blocking questions; implementation binding none, verifier binding none, and expected-outcome oracle none.

Intent
outcome
Keep the Protocol legible to delivery practitioners without adopting a lifecycle machine.
Decision
context
Shared delivery vocabulary is useful, but process-state language hides epistemic distinctions.
decision
The Protocol adopts established delivery nouns and rejects process state-machine and lifecycle gating.
rationale
  • Invented terminology taxes users, while workflow states reverse the Protocol's conformance-only boundary.
consequences
  • Terms must be concrete, unambiguous, and carry authored-versus-derived status where it matters.
Verification

Verifier bindings

No verifier binding recorded.

Design view

Requirement drawing

  • Declared verifying examples: no declared verifying example.
  • Satisfying or referencing units: no recorded binding.
  • Test or oracle bindings: no recorded binding.
