1. 1

   Start

   Side-project constraint captured

   Ideation Ritual designed

   Focus config, signal review, 5 focus questions, radar check, ranked 3-move output

3. 3

   45m

   Shaping Pass designed

   Always runs, forge-ready threshold, ideas_in_flight with return_trigger

4. 4

   60m

   Schema restructured

   session_contract becomes ideation → shaping → declared build chain

5. 5

   End

   Committed + retro written

   Loop has a real front-end
