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.
