Anti-Ceremony

Keep work tied to the caller-visible outcome and the proof still needed for it. The default guard is a single, artifact-free judgment before RPI Plan.

Modes

Trigger	Mode
RPI pre-Plan invocation or ordinary use	Quick guard
Explicit request for a full anti-ceremony audit	Full honesty audit

Never promote the quick guard into the full audit without the explicit trigger.

Quick guard

1. Freeze the caller-visible outcome in one short statement.
2. Park proposed process work that has no concrete consumer, gated subject or release decision, observed defect, or retirement condition.
3. Name the implementation or independent proof still missing.
4. Name the condition that ends this traversal.
5. Return STOP when the traversal would only create control artifacts or the frozen outcome is already sufficiently proved; otherwise return CONTINUE.

Perform the guard exactly once in memory. Write no worksheet, ledger, capture, dashboard, prompt packet, or other hidden artifact. Parking is a field in the response, not a tracker or delivery mutation.

Return this shape:

decision: CONTINUE | STOP
reason: <exactly one sentence>
frozen_outcome: <nonempty string>
parked_process_work: [<work item>, ...]
remaining_proof: [<proof item>, ...]
stop_condition: <nonempty string>

The two lists contain strings and may be empty. Done when every field is present and the decision explains whether one RPI traversal earns its cost.

Full honesty audit

Run this mode only when the caller explicitly requests it. Examine each named control artifact or ceremony step for its consumer, gated subject or release decision, observed defect, and retirement condition. Return concise keep, park, or drop findings in the response; create no audit artifact unless the caller separately requests one.

Boundaries

The guard makes one admission judgment. It does not retry, repair, replan, dispatch core phases, operate Git or a tracker, deliver, release, or select a next action. On malformed or missing inputs, return STOP with the missing field named in the one-sentence reason and stop.
