# Cross-Stage Invariants

> Bind every stage to the always-and-never rules of the generator — resolve authority and directionality before planning, discover before assuming, activate principles with a bound validator, order by dependency with severity as routing metadata, read only the prior stage's output contract through one evidence-bearing handoff, represent all four graph axes, require evidence for every claim, separate generation gates from future execution gates, repair from the earliest invalid stage, and render deterministically.
