Long Task Control

Preserve verified work while correcting the course. Constrain acceptance and ownership; leave execution tactics free. This workflow needs no other skill.

Target

Reconstruct the outcome, scope and acceptance criteria from the original request and later authorized changes. Newer authorized intent wins; expose unresolved conflicts. Compare the work against this target at each major phase boundary.

Observe

Inspect artifacts, commands, checks and delegate state directly. Separate liveness, progress toward the target and verified completion. Silence, elapsed time, an active process or a dirty diff alone establishes neither progress nor failure. Useful diagnosis and necessary preparation count as progress before acceptance checks finish.
