Foundry IQ

Read one procedure before questions/actions; invocation is not a read. Read the owning procedure before blocked/unsupported responses too. Before mutation plans/approval, successfully read its required pre-action references, selected branches only. Do not reload successful reads. On failure, try only permitted bounded exact-path reads with any supported reader; never bypass restrictions or search broadly. If still unavailable: blocked: reference-unavailable, name missing references and inability to plan. Never invent requirements/plans. Failures first.

Cleanup and receipt-backed execution go directly to their lifecycle/producer owner; do not reopen Search intake, provisioning or hardening.

Before expensive service discovery, reuse supplied resource/intent; otherwise ask one early USE EXISTING / FIND CANDIDATES / CREATE NEW choice. Only FIND enumerates; supplied identity uses exact/minimum scoped resolution. CREATE checks its proposed name, not existing-service inventories. Preserve these answers across source/KB/CU/model handoffs; selection is not write approval.
