Contract guidance
Review the promise before publishing.
Publish compatibility and maintenance constraints with the RFC. List the exact test that can block the binding result.
Escape conditions
Name the valid blocker in advance.
A binding result needs an explicit legal, platform, safety, or technical condition that can override implementation. The response must publish it if used.
Review in Create
Open the complete prefill before anyone can participate.
The editor keeps every value changeable. It does not submit or publish the decision automatically.
