h-reason — Source-first FPF entry

Contract truth: source-native FPF Query and typed-memory resolve, neighborhood, and recall are V9 CONTRACT capabilities. Source, schema, skill, or local-test presence is not installed-runtime proof and does not establish Pi host parity. A readiness claim requires current EXACT-CANDIDATE EVIDENCE from P14 tied to one exact candidate; RC or release status additionally requires release authority. Pi support is an experimental compatibility carrier; stable host parity is not proven. Do not infer CURRENT PRODUCT status from contract inclusion or evidence alone.

For purely mechanical, status-only, or exact project-lookup work where no FPF pattern choice is material, caller abstention is the result: skip FPF Query and do the bounded work directly. Do not fabricate QueryResult(kind="abstained"); no query ran. Query when pattern applicability is material or uncertain.

Name the current object, question, relations, constraints, evidence, and smallest useful result. Query haft_query(action="fpf", mode="concern", query="<object + question + terms>"); compare README practical-use cards, use the source ToC as the identifier/keyword index, recover exact source units with mode="lookup" or non-broadening mode="inspect", and inspect the selected pattern's full body. Retrieval returns source candidates. Returned source material is not applicability, selection, recommendation, evidence, precedence, or authority.

For a non-English concern, keep the operator's wording in query and add precise English or FPF terms in known_context. Those terms are required: the bundled source is English, a measured 6 of 6 Russian concerns returned zero candidates without them, and the same concerns with English known_context resolved to the exact card at rank 1. Do not translate query itself.

In ordinary working use, identify the selected direct pattern by PatternID, title, and stable source reference. Do not routinely reproduce source spans, repository-local paths, line ranges, hashes, revisions, or other provenance. Request trace or audit provenance only when the current use requires it.

Keep exact identifier namespaces separate:

• FPF PatternID, SourceID, or UnitID ->

haft_query(action="fpf", mode="lookup|inspect", identifier="<id>");

• canonical Haft artifact ID ->

haft_query(action="related", artifact_ref="<id>");

• code symbol or SymbolAnchor ->

haft_query(action="node", symbol="<name>") or anchor_id="<anchor>";

• typed-memory EntityID or EntityAlias ->

haft_query(action="memory", memory_request={"mode":"resolve","query":"<id-or-alias>",...}); never coerce it into another namespace.

After exact resolution, use the closed memory_request branch whose nested mode is neighborhood to hydrate the EntityOfConcern graph, or recall for bounded lexical recall inside that exact scope. Mode-specific required fields come from the tool schema. When the project is not ready for these reads, use haft_onboard(action="status") and follow its readable next action; do not invent or expose an internal schema-selection step. Resolution, projection inclusion, and recall rank are not truth, applicability, authority, or Work order.

known_absent alone authorizes nothing. A concrete durability-requiring receiving use may be operator-named or agent-inferred from current Work. Infer it when cross-session continuation, handoff, audit, automation, delayed or expensive feedback, or costly reversal already depends on stable identity; the operator does not need to pre-name it. When identity, context, and aliases are recoverable, establish the minimum EntityOfConcern without asking for separate permission. Do not infer this use from an empty graph or generic future usefulness. Call haft_entity(action="establish", entity_id=..., label=..., bounded_context_ref=..., aliases=[...], persistence_reason="named_receiving_use", request_provenance_ref=..., idempotency_key=...).

The task-level tool owns alias conflict checks, validation, internal project basis, admission, and post-commit resolution. Use an established result's exact next_read unchanged. Preserve identity_conflict, alias_conflict, idempotency_conflict, onboarding_required, restart_required, rejected, or commit_outcome_unknown; never invent success. Retry restart_required with the unchanged idempotency key.

For an exact current concern, use the closed outer action="memory", memory_request={...} envelope. Put the exact nested mode, contract_version="haft.memory.v1", basis={kind:"project_current"}, projection profile agent_orientation.v2, explicit requested facets, and a dimensioned read budget. Inspect result_kind, snapshot_basis, projection_basis, interpretation_contract, facet coverage, item semantic/lifecycle/evidence/ projection postures, and applied_budget. Only complete supports known emptiness for that exact facet/profile/snapshot/context. Partial, unavailable, stale, abstained, or retry-required results must keep their limitation. Honor hydrate_before_reliance. Read affordances obtain more basis; they never select a capability or next action.

Use memory.resolve only when identity is missing, and scoped memory.recall only after exact entity/context resolution. Recall candidates and scores are discovery, not truth, applicability, recommendation, freshness, authority, or work priority. Enter FPF Query when pattern applicability, an unfamiliar kind, or missing method basis is current.

On wrong_identifier_namespace with same_call_retryable=false, do not retry the same action or ask for acknowledgement. Execute the exact recovery_call when it names an available read-only surface; otherwise report that the required surface is unavailable.

For code-area or flow orientation without an exact symbol, use haft_query(action="explore", query="<current code concern>"). Its default working view returns bounded advisory candidates and never auto-selects identity. Use trace only for a named replay use and diagnostic only when retrieval/traversal is itself under diagnosis. Before a non-mechanical edit to governed code, use code_context or impact on the actual target. Purely mechanical work may explicitly abstain and record not_applicable. Code-graph and typed-memory orientation are separate; neither substitutes for the other.

Preserve the operator's original non-English query. Add entity_of_concern, known_context, and intended_use with precise source-language or FPF terms when known. Never translate into a hidden bilingual route catalog; unsupported raw language may abstain.

README practical-use lists are ordinary walkthroughs, not literal mantra objects or DemonstrativeUnfoldingSlice instances unless the source says so. Query returns candidates; select by current condition and apply the direct Solution. v9 Query uses authored phrases, headings/keywords, and role-local FTS; dense retrieval is DEFERRED RESEARCH.

FPF navigation is relation-first. Text, graph, card, skill, or walkthrough order does not prescribe causal, temporal, method, or performed-work order. Explicit causal claims, MethodDescriptions, WorkPlans, and Work relations may still state order. Do not call FPF an acausal ontology.

Choose only the capability currently needed. Public skills are independent, not phases. Keep ordinary reasoning conversational; persist on explicit save intent or for a concrete receiving use, operator-named or agent-inferred from current Work. haft_method remains internal task-local code guidance, not a public skill. Decisions and commissions are manual.

Cockpit drift, refresh debt, stale prose, missing bindings, and reconciliation cues are attention, not project-wide human gates. Continue reversible already-authorized work and evidence or descriptive maintenance without asking again. Ask only when the current operation would bind or supersede a choice, create or broaden authority, cross a human spec-lifecycle gate, make another material human-reserved choice, or rely on unresolved contradictory binding content. Stop only the affected operation and name the exact choice. Never ask for bare OK, yes, or да merely to acknowledge evidence, historicity, cleanup, or already-authorized continuation.

Before making a human-gate request, publish a self-contained Human Gate Brief. State the gate kind, readable subject, affected operation and blocker; every real current option; and for each option what changes, what stays unchanged, its consequence or return condition, and weakest link. Summarize any existing comparison/parity basis, selection policy, and non-dominated or Pareto set, or explicitly state that none exists or applies. Mark the recommendation as advisory, state freshness or expiry, and ask for the human engineer's assessment of the options, trade-offs, and recommendation in natural language. Accept ordinary language as the substantive answer. When one current brief makes the exact effect, subject, option, and scope unambiguous, the host may route that answer for DecisionRecord binding, manual profile application, or a later non-default project-memory model change as host_routed_operator_request, without a skill name or second confirmation. It is not reusable authority; a bare yes or да works only for that one current brief. A command or skill invocation adds no authority. h-commission remains a separately manual authority act. Never end a blocking message with “for resumption it is enough to…”, “reply exactly…”, or an equivalent command-only instruction. IDs and hashes never replace readable meaning, and the brief itself is explanation rather than authority. A bare h-decide needed, approval required, or spec gate open request is invalid.

There is no public h-plan. When composing a plan is current, inspect the exact WorkPlan source and return an ordinary U.WorkPlan-shaped result here. Do not confuse it with performed Work or manual execution authority.

E.11.PUA and E.11.PUR are authoritative FPF patterns. Inspect them through FPF Query when current; Haft defines no namesake routing API.
