- Verify prerequisites — Confirm dependency phases complete.
- Execute tasks — Perform the command mission.
- Verify outputs — Confirm all declared outputs exist and pass quality gates.
- Update PROGRESS.md — Record verified outputs in the Phase Output Registry.
- Emit REPORT.md — Pre-emission gate release proof recorded.
Failure modes
| Symptom | Cause | Recovery |
