spec.xml — normative GraceChangeSpec
design-context.xml — optional, explanatory only
plan.xml — created later by grace-plan </change_bundle_contract>

<status_rules> Create spec.xml as status="draft". Set status="approved" only after explicit user approval. Rejected or cancelled specs move to archive with terminal status. Do not create or edit plan.xml in this skill. </status_rules>

<strict_contract> The direct C-* wrapper must contain exactly one meaningful Summary, Goals, Constraints, NonGoals, AcceptanceCriteria, AffectedAreas, and VerificationIntent section. Empty containers are not approval-ready. Semantic anchors are canonical attribute-free XML tags, never attributes or attribute values. </strict_contract>
