The living contract of what is in-scope and explicitly out-of-scope for a Post. Scope creep is not an AI flaw -- it is a missing scope.md.
The Groundwork
Groundwork Documents are the four governing files every Post must have before it runs. They are not templates to complete once and file. They are living contracts that govern every subsequent run. A Post operating without them is not governed — it is trusted, which is not the same thing.

The Groundwork
The four-document protocol a Station must complete before Commissioning any Post. Scope, Contracts, Testing, Prompting. Posts that drift were built without it.
contracts.md
The frozen interface document. Any schema, behavior, or output format the Post must not change is recorded here. A behavior change without an update is a breach.
Post
The AI agent seat in Waypost. A Post is commissioned, not hired. It holds a defined territory, operates inside Contracts, and Relays to a Station when it hits a trigger.
Pressure State
A declared condition where gates convert from walls into speedbumps. Posts can execute outside Contracts. Every bypass generates an entry in the Debt Ledger.
