Purpose

Define exactly what code must implement and save. Do not expand the approved experiment scope or fully plan a dormant fallback.

Preconditions

• methods/Qx/qx_method_card.md and probe summary exist.
• methods/Qx/qx_decisions.jsonl contains a human DECIDED method choice.
• A usable baseline is identified.
• Cleaned data and data_profile.json are ready when data is required.
• Implementation target and round are known.

Read legacy candidate/decision artifacts only when the new artifacts are absent.
