# Compose Maintains The Architectural Thread

### Fixtures

- `mode`: compose
- `interactive`: true
- `persistence`: preview
- `authority_scope`: openprose-maintainer
- `framework_maturity`: experimental
- `request`: |
    The architect previously selected an obligation-centered directory package,
    then explored topology guidance and supplied framework feedback. Continue
    from the settled package decision without losing the topology findings.

### Expects

- `mental_model_sync`: identifies the obligation-centered package as settled
- `active_frontier`: resurfaces its pending materialization before opening a new
  conceptual frontier
- `source_projection`: contains `index.prose.md` plus obligation-owned sibling
  Contracts
- `test_strategy`: begins with the package promise and orders later testing
  through Contract boundaries, interaction topology, failure behavior, harness
  portability, and only then performance
- `openprose_feedback`: preserves topology and package-visibility framework
  pressure separately from program architecture

### Expects Not

- `next_actions`: asks the architect to reconfirm the settled package decision
- `source_projection`: modifies topology profiles, language documentation,
  compiler, adapter, or harness implementation as part of composition
- `test_strategy`: begins with internal helper implementation or performance
  optimization before the public promise
