The flow the process overview draws — idea/symptom -> decision -> to-be design -> code ->
as-is — was enforced by nothing. cycle.py now refuses a to-be design naming no decision, an
in-progress/implemented design naming no owning code, a located/fixed issue with no owner,
a fixed/resolved issue with no fix, and a graduated research overview that does not say what
it became. AGENTS.md carries the cycle and a where-to-look table so a fresh session (or a
cleared context) finds the chain in frontmatter instead of assuming it. Grounding the check
surfaced two real gaps, fixed here: the work-ahead design named no owning code, and research
003 listed one became target twice.

The glossary's authority page still named the controller's seat the-controller in two
entries, contradicting its own seat section after ADR 0079; issue 058's heading kept the
pre-renumber 059; 055's fixed-by named branches that stop existing after merge (now merge
commits/PRs) and its located-in listed file paths where the convention wants repos; 056's
located-in named mesh-host, which received no fix, instead of mesh-catalog; and the design
layer never said the one-store/one-broker property is enforced — 07-the-foundation and the
installation table now state the seats.
