No charter yet. Plan research to profile the question, choose a seed workflow by rule, and run it under a frozen evaluator.

No candidate workflows yet. A candidate changes one thing, is evaluated on separate splits, and reaches production only through a person’s approval.
Counts, not verdicts. Simulated runs never count as real trials, and no seed has been promoted.
