HCD.8:10 - Rationale

A capability-development arrangement depends on providers and environments that can perform their own work. The learner’s programme cannot make those contributions available merely by naming them. Conversely, an existing qualified result does not need to be rebuilt to satisfy a recursive picture.

Binding recursion to the first unsupported dependency preserves the practical build-the-builder insight without inventing a universal creator relation or fixed levels. Separating preparation from operation, and provider operation from learner effect, gives HCD.7 a truthful availability result while leaving stronger claims with their proper evidence owners.
