Purpose

DARE v4 is the product-level orchestrator for a research run. It turns a user request into a controlled sequence of North Star crystallization, executable specification, and phase-by-phase execution. It is not a scientific graph node and must not be counted among the 267 tactic/SOP nodes.

Input Contract

required: [user_request]
optional: [existing_context, north_star, research_brief, constraints]
constraints:
  - a run may start with an existing North Star only when it is explicit and user-confirmed
  - execution requires a current SpecView reconstructed from checkpoint events

Execution Protocol

DARE enforces this order and does not skip a phase:
