# Sequence Work into Verifiable Units

## Trigger

For migrations, sweeps, repeated edits, and stacks.

## Rule

Break work into small units that each end with a proof and order delivery so every next unit builds on verified state.

## Application

1. Name the concrete decision this principle changes.
2. Apply the rule to that decision, not as a decorative citation.
3. Prefer evidence from the current repository/runtime over generic preference.
4. If the principle conflicts with an explicit user constraint, keep the constraint and state the tradeoff.
