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 workflow 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 file contract and one reason the capstone is not first contact
inherited workflow repair Anti-Pattern Atlas Module 03, Module 04 Command Guide whether the failure is workflow semantics, policy drift, interface sprawl, or execution context
publish and stewardship review Course Guide Module 06, Module 07, Module 10 Capstone Proof Guide what downstream trust depends on and which route is strong enough to defend it
incident pressure Incident Review Guide Module 09, Boundary Map Capstone Review Worksheet the symptom, the owning workflow 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 strongest proof route because the situation feels urgent
  • do not read governance pages before the current workflow boundary is named
  • do not open every support page when one route already matches the pressure

Good companion pages

Good stopping point

Stop when you know which workflow 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.
