Apply during planned rewrites and migrations with explicit phase boundaries. Converge on the target architecture; don't preserve smooth intermediate states with throwaway compatibility code.

Outcome-Oriented Execution

Optimize for the intended, verifiable end state rather than preserving smooth intermediate states.

Why: Keeping every intermediate step fully stable often creates temporary compatibility code that becomes long-lived debt. Converge on the target architecture and prove correctness at explicit verification boundaries.

Core rule:

  • Prioritize end-state integrity over transitional stability
  • Intermediate breakage is acceptable when it is planned, scoped, and reversible

Guardrails:

  • Use this for planned rewrites and migrations with explicit phase boundaries
  • Declare where temporary breakage is acceptable
  • Keep high-signal checks for actively touched areas while migrating
  • Require full static and runtime verification at plan completion
