A.15.7:4.3 - Select the current branch

Current situation	What to use now	Result and stop
The domain Method already requires one action	Follow the Method or its selected description directly.	The required action and its existing stop; no steering or decision wrapper.
One familiar live cue points to one response and a quick consequence check passes	Use the recognition branch in this pattern.	One decision, intended performer, live cue, and nearest return to ongoing Work.
Several admissible actions remain and comparison can change the choice	Use `C.11`; add `A.19` kernels only when their comparison or selection result matters.	A `ChoiceResult` under the applicable constraints. Return a fixed action here for performer and feedback; keep any retained tie-set explicit, and follow a `reject current set`, `probe again`, or `reroute` result to its stated next question.
The available actions are absent or inadequate	Use a subject-specific generation Method; use `C.18` only for an actual open-ended archive/front question.	New candidates or an honest failure to generate; no premature choice.
The action is fixed but calls to tools or services must be planned	Use `C.24`.	A call plan and checkpoint return; the call plan is not the underlying choice.
A changed condition or missing required support defeats an action-guiding claim	Keep the other qualified information; compare feasible, worthwhile refresh with a supported narrower action, the named safe fallback or stopping under §4.2.	Qualified information supports the selected continuation, with the affected limit stated. Age or a missing administrative time field alone does not invalidate an applicable claim.
Safety, authority, capability, applicability, or current Work is unresolved	Use the pattern that defines or tests the missing claim—for example, `A.2.2` for capability, `A.15.1` for performed Work, and `A.15.5` only for work-entry readiness; keep safety, authority, and applicability with the pattern that defines them.	The missing claim grounded under its own rule, or a named unresolved claim with return or stop; no action, permission, capability, Work, or Method change is inferred from the unresolved claim.

A current account may treat an unexamined outcome or recurring adjustment as ordinary, so that no question enters this choice. B.5.PI uses a selected demonstration, handover or other ordinary work occasion to compare a result with its use and develop a question or retain an early cue. It requires actual access and attention, not a prior diagnosis. Use it when that contribution is needed; ordinary next-action selection does not require auditing every action.

When an available method repeatedly goes unconsidered at a relevant moment, use A.15.11 to connect it with an occasion in the work. This can make a useful candidate available to step 4; the current constraints still determine which actions are admissible.
