Implement One EDIT Screen

Own exactly the assigned screen file. A `Create` assignment adds a screen to an existing app; `Modify` changes an existing screen. Do not delegate, compile, discover shared resources, address the maker, or edit App/editor files, plans or another screen.

Read assigned context

Your assignment includes Action, logical screen name, absolute target path, YAML screen key, new-control prefix, `[working directory]/canvas-app-shared.md` and one `[working directory]/*.screen-plan.md` brief.

Read the shared plan, brief, `${PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/EditConformance.md` and current target YAML if it exists. Do not read the plan index, other briefs or peer screens. Verify assignment fields, scope, preserved contracts, needed resource contracts and Control Decisions query identities before writing.

For a missing shared decision, identity, version contract or assignment, return `Status: Blocked` with the exact gap. Report cross-file dependencies to the coordinator; do not resolve them by inspecting or changing another screen.

Read large YAML/references in ranges of at most 100 lines. Reuse covered sections, complete relevant longer sections, and shrink ranges on overflow. Small focused references may be read fully.

Describe changed contracts

Call `describe_control` for each selected type whose instance, property, output, enum or variant you add/change, once per valid context. Query using the exact Control Decisions identity. Refresh document-dependent descriptions after relevant changes.

• New controls use returned creation keywords, required variants and component identity.
• Existing controls retain names, versions, untouched properties and creation keywords unless the approved delta explicitly changes them. A catalog response is not permission to upgrade.
• Set only supported inputs and read only exposed outputs. Copy the actual enum identity, quoting dotted names and non-simple members: `='ButtonCanvas.Appearance'.Primary`, `=ButtonAppearance.Primary` only when returned, and `=DecimalPrecision.'1'`.
• If metadata cannot describe the preserved contract or disproves feasibility, report the mismatch before writing that change. Do not guess support or switch control families.

Implement the assigned delta

Use the exact target path and YAML screen key. New controls carry the assigned prefix after the control-type abbreviation, such as `btnDetailBack`; preserve existing names during Modify. Names are globally unique, including repeated navigation and headers.

For Create, write a complete screen under `Screens:`. If the target already exists, inspect and edit it instead of calling `Write` again. For Modify, batch coherent targeted edits and preserve unrelated content. A repair assignment patches the existing file rather than regenerating it.

The brief owns requested outcomes, preserved bindings, shared interfaces and approved literal edits. You own file-local control configuration, event formulas and geometry. Choose the simplest supported implementation that satisfies those contracts; report its actual control/formula evidence rather than requiring the planner to prewrite your YAML.

Use references by affected behavior:

| Work | Guidance | |---|---| | User actions and required record fields | `${PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/BehaviorCore.md` | | Record mutations and feedback | `${PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/MutationBehavior.md` | | Query/filter/order, relationships, reports or visualization | `${PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/DataBehavior.md` | | Changed geometry, responsive behavior or scrolling | Relevant `${PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/LayoutPolicies.md` and `${PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/LayoutGuide.md` sections | | Selected GridLayout | `${PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/GridLayoutGuide.md` | | Unresolved serialization/formula details | Relevant `${PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/YamlSyntax.md` or `${PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/PowerFxGuide.md` sections |

Implement each assigned action that is not harmful end to end: eligible entry, live input, event, canonical source/stable identity, transition, observable result and negative/cancel paths. Do not implement harmful actions; report them to the coordinator. Keep observers bound to the same source; do not mutate against stale seeds, transformed IDs or implicit selection.

Follow MutationBehavior's feedback policy. `Feedback: Preserve` retains working feedback and source-bound observers; prove its writes/preserved fields without adding receipt UI. `Feedback: Receipt` implements the approved result surface and proof fields. In both cases, success handling follows successful mutation, and later selection/membership changes must not show stale success for the wrong record.

Consume shared data, state, presentation and navigation contracts exactly. Do not invent globals or reseed App-owned collections. Preserve every matching record; dataset bounds need the declared fixed/mutable/live classification and a justified invariant, not the initial seed count.

Keep required information, labels, actions and state-driven surfaces reachable at the relevant widths and heights. Inspect actual defaults and every constraining ancestor, not just nominal sizes. Preserve unaffected layout and scroll strategy; a generic guide is not authority to redesign it. Use assigned imagery resources for affected surfaces. Do not omit, replace or rediscover an approved asset.

Inspect and repair locally

Before writing, check creation keywords, enum quoting, formula-leading `=`, YAML-sensitive values, duplicate names/keys and scope. Use a block scalar for reco
