Normative requirements
What conforming mission design must express.
Represent Task, Plan, Access, Collect, Validate, Deliver, Extract, and Debrief as distinct states or reviewable milestones.
Persist accepted brief revision, evidence state, role assignments, and consequence state across transitions.
Permit fail-forward transitions when a planned path closes but the intelligence requirement remains answerable.
Allow parallel collection tasks to converge into a shared validation state.
