Pressure Routes¶

Guide Fit¶

  question["Name the pressure honestly"] --> route["Choose one bounded route"]
  route --> proof["Use one matching proof surface"]
  proof --> next_move["Stop when the owning boundary is visible"]

Read the first diagram as a timing map: this page is for non-ideal reading conditions, not calm full-course study. Read the second diagram as the loop: name the pressure, choose one bounded route, use one proof surface, then stop when the owning boundary is visible.

Use this page when urgency is shaping what you can realistically read.

Choose the route that matches the pressure¶

Pressure	First page	First module or reference	First proof surface	Stop when you can name...
first contact	Start Here	Module 00, Module 01	Capstone Walkthrough	one truthful edge and one reason the capstone is not first contact
inherited build repair	Anti-Pattern Atlas	Module 04, Module 05	Command Guide	whether the failure is graph truth, publication, portability, or a hidden input
release and stewardship	Course Guide	Module 07, Module 08, Module 10	Capstone Proof Checklist	the public contract, the proof bar, and the extension boundary
incident pressure	Incident Ladder	Module 09	Capstone Review Worksheet	the symptom, the owning boundary, and the next smallest confirming command

What not to do under pressure¶

do not start with the whole capstone repository
do not escalate to the heaviest proof route because you feel urgency
do not read governance pages before the current failure class is named
do not open every guide when one route already matches the pressure

Good companion pages¶

Module Promise Map when the route needs a sharper module contract
Proof Ladder when the current command still feels too heavy
Capstone Map when you know the module but not the repository surface
Topic Boundaries when the pressure is really outside the course boundary

Good stopping point¶

Stop when you know which boundary owns the current problem and which next page or command would test that claim directly. If you still cannot name the boundary, return to the table above instead of widening the reading surface.
