Revise the JFM research workflow documentation to clarify project structure, decision-making processes, and tool routing. Remove outdated figures and images that are no longer relevant to the current manuscript. Ensure that the workflow aligns with the latest research objectives and safety protocols.

Round 4 — Top-Down Decisions and Section Freezes
Purpose
Round 4 converts the R2 architecture and audited R3 dossiers into author-facing section arguments, concrete display designs and frozen R5 drafting packets. It is not manuscript prose, new evidence, artifact generation, CFD or training. Round 4 should be lighter than the dossiers: preserve traceability in a compact ledger while spending most effort on argument, ownership, displays and decisions.
Authority and tool routing
Current repository authorities, manifests, code/configuration and immutable artifacts override summaries and memory. A continuation agent begins with targeted Nowledge memory/thread recall when prior decisions matter, then verifies against exact repository authorities. Nowledge is for decisions/history; repository tools are for internal evidence; Undermind is for external literature only after get_orientation and list_workspaces. Read-only derivations/scripts use only a designated conda environment discovered from current authority or environment listings. Never guess an environment or run CFD/training without authorization.
Coordinator workflow
- Maintain the global decision ledger, whole-manuscript ownership and author feedback.
- Build a minimum context packet for each section: exact controlling reads, accepted feedback, available material/readiness inventory, requested output decision, exclusions, target length/share, paragraph jobs, concrete display layout, ownership and exact questions.
- Present two detailed section packets together to the author.
- After feedback, launch two tightly scoped continuation agents in parallel. Agents use the packet and targeted checks; they do not rediscover the project.
- Perform a coordinator second audit across both outputs before freezing either section.
- Repeat by section pairs; freeze the Introduction last, then run the whole-manuscript Round-4 audit.
Controlling inputs
ROUND2_TOP_DOWN/05_REVISED_STRUCTURE_FREEZE.mdand06_SECTION_LEVEL_JFM_STYLE_GUIDE.md.- Relevant
ROUND3_BOTTOM_UPowning dossiers, interface ledger, quality gate and final consistency audit. - Current repository authorities/manifests named by the packet.
- This directory's master prompt, quality gate, global ledger and display/equation inventory.
Round-5 handoff
Each frozen packet carries its bounded answer, target length/share, paragraph jobs, exact displays/equations, ownership/imports/exports, claim ceiling, accepted author decisions, exclusions, compact coverage/gap ledger and separate text/artifact readiness. Round 5 drafts only from that packet and its controlling authorities; it does not silently reopen decisions or fill evidence gaps.
Current horizontal integration status
The consolidated correction, final style synthesis and Round-5 admission matrix is 00_R4_CLOSEOUT_AUDIT.md; recurring enrichment contracts and supersession are mapped in 00_STYLE_CROSSWALK.md. Round 5 has a conditional pass. The author has accepted the S3 two-figure safe default and S8 recommended equation/integrated composition, so those author-choice gates are closed for bounded R5 drafting; their source, provenance, caption, artwork and production gates remain open. Section 9 remains an author-owned provenance-gated interface and permits explicit author-field placeholder TeX only, not agent-authored facts or results. Prose admission does not approve any panel or artifact. Current Sections 1/2 own integrated former Style-01/02 content; deleted Style files remain historical/superseded provenance only.
