just-do

No path → halt with usage. Read the Manifest in full, then make every Acceptance Criterion and Global Invariant hold as written; how is yours. Those bind; Initial Approach and Process Guidance advise. The Manifest is read-only and this run never invokes /just-define: stop and report if a premise goes false, the user redirects past the Manifest, or only a person can unblock you. When done, report what changed and your basis per gate.

First, arm the completion backstop: continue under an active goal for this Manifest, or emit the block below verbatim. Do not summarize, shorten, reword, or re-punctuate it. Set it through the harness's goal-setting, continuation, or durable-completion-condition capability, else print it copy-pasteable: one unlabeled block introduced by a sentence of your own, since the fence and its label are this file's markers rather than part of what you emit.

Work under this run's Manifest until every Acceptance Criterion and Global Invariant in it holds, each with evidence from the artifacts that gate names, and completion has been reported. Record the Manifest's path in a checkpoint note as soon as it exists.

The Manifest is the contract, not the run's to rewrite: it changes only through the skill that wrote it, never by direct edit, and a changed gate returns unverified.
