sequence-work

Purpose

Topologically sequence dependent work while prioritizing fail-fast and high-risk branches.

Input contract

required: [work_items, dependency_graph, prioritization_policy]
optional: [resource_limits, risk_scores, parallelism_rules]
constraints: [dependencies must be acyclic or cycles explicitly reported]

Procedure

1. Validate nodes and dependency edges.
2. Detect cycles and compute available roots.
3. Rank ready items by fail-fast, risk, and policy priorities.
4. Emit ordered batches and parallelizable branches.

Output contract

produces: [work_sequence, parallel_batches, cycle_report, priority_rationale]
delta_fields: [decisions, uncertainties, open_questions]
