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
• Always run final verification before declaring done

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
