DISTILL Prior-Authority Reconciliation

Run before authoring or binding an acceptance oracle.

1. Read the value seed and only the durable product authorities it names: vision, job, journey and KPI identities. 2. Read the relevant architecture brief/ADRs, including reuse, route, prefactoring, paradigm, targets, ports/boundaries, cross-layer laws, residual stress decisions and test substrate. For a multi-value feature read the relevant common authority plus the local slice delta. If the public oracle needs a semantic decision neither states, ask its owner only for that decision; adequate existing authority needs no new ceremony, and you never write authority yourself. 3. Read platform/environment authorities only when the delivery has an operational obligation. 4. Reconcile contradictions by their durable owner. A contradiction blocks and is returned to the durable authority that owns the fact; do not write an upstream-issues file or copy the dispute into a second document. 5. Missing design required for an executable oracle blocks with WHAT/WHY/HOW. A genuinely unaffected optional lens is `NOT_APPLICABLE`, not a fabricated section. 6. Record semantic decisions only in their durable authority. No wave log, handover, delta or progress ledger.

The output is the minimum verified semantic input needed by `nw-distill`: product intent, durable design decisions, oracle choice, boundaries, obligations and applicability. Software derives execution details.
