9.4 Stop separately at the remaining Method Engineering questions

Pattern question	EC-417 result or stop
ME.8	`C-EC-Release-v2` remains a candidate account. Improve that account or a description of one admitted constituent Method; do not return a `U.MethodDescription` for the candidate whole.
ME.9	Profile `MRP-EC417-B2-Review-1` relates the signed-versus-provisional pinout preparation to later reconsideration of the candidate. Preparation and reopening remain unresolved for their separately named missing bases. The full claims, receiving results, missing bases, and cross-use relation are given in §9.4.1 below.
ME.10	Keep the retrieval and branch-selection passes, described CI/guard observations, missing tailoring definition and tailoring-stop test, `missing-selection-basis`, memberships, edition/publication results and provider/feedback gaps separate. A missing premise blocks only the task or stronger claim that requires it. Optional AI use, feedback or A.22 selection is not a completion condition for the observed PLM/CI uses; the tailoring definition and mandatory stop test are required for the full task-set pass. Actual membership, System-use, Work, permission and task-result claims still need their own obtaining basis.
ME.10–ME.14 and ME.16 capability input	The current application supplies assignments and authority facts but no A.2.2 capability record for a person, AI System, team, or other holder. Any decision that needs holder, Work family, envelope, measures, qualification window, currentness, and evidence returns that missing input. Its absence alone does not establish a need for capability development.
ME.11	The three-release statement remains a WorkPlan. Add a release only after the corresponding dated release Work occurrence, its performers, enacted constituent Methods, Systems, capabilities, relied-on relations, conditions, domain result, burdens, deviations, and authority facts obtain. The Work does not enact the candidate whole.
ME.12–ME.14	ME.12 returns each correction to the maintained result it can affect. ME.13 stays on the candidate branch and cannot claim transfer before a performed held-out release situation. ME.14 can finish a present comparison of A, B, B2, and stop or next-slot from the available qualified observations and estimates, while preserving burden, confidentiality, capabilities, Systems, Work, relations, recovery, side effects, reversibility and evidence limits. A demonstrated release-worth claim still needs actual release and alternative evidence; any chosen trial retains its entry conditions. `CUR-EC417-CadenceEffect-1` remains `unsupported`.
ME.15	Maintain editions of `C-EC-Release-v2` as a candidate lineage until A.3.1 independently admits a Method with changed reusable semantics. Constituent Methods, descriptions, tools, and prompts remain separate.
ME.16	For each release that actually occurs, keep Method or candidate changes separate from description, PLM/CI/AI Systems, support Work, access, capability, assignment, permission, authority, release Work, and release-result changes. Retain decision-relevant adequate existing capability on its current A.2.2 basis without requiring development; return that missing basis when needed. Only a required capability-change claim consumes an independently obtained development result or returns its missing/stale result and next governing action. Omit capability detail that cannot change the decision.
ME.17	EC-417 supplies no C.20 Discipline recognition, bounded Method Engineering population, enacted Method Engineering variant or cultural-relation evidence. Keep those wider claims unsupported; no cultural inquiry is needed merely to complete the release or support result. If culture becomes the receiving question, use the bounded account and the MeCaMinD, SRA and Essence sources only for the relations they actually support.

9.4.1 Preparation now, reopening after performed trials

Invoke ME.9 only for Method representation profile MRP-EC417-B2-Review-1, because two unlike actions must be related without becoming one view. Both return to candidate C-EC-Release-v2 and current candidate-account episteme ECA-EC417-C-Release-v2-1.

Preparation now. C.37 claim group C37-EC417-B2-Prepare-1 has receiver SafetyReviewer-17 and exact action ‘check the supplier-prepared signed-versus-provisional pinout comparison and identify the affected safety checks before release’, using the instruction in section 7; direct subject result ERP-EC417-WP-B2-1 is a C.2.1 episteme about proposed allocation and order, evidence entry, confidentiality, recovery, and stops while preserving WorkPlan status. A.2.4 classifies that preparation use, and A.10 path P-APP-EC417-Prepare-1 returns pass in its current-edition window. ME.6 decision AD-EC417-B2-Trial-1 governs the trial alternative: its predicate compares A, B, and B2 against the receiving, capacity, confidentiality, assignment, permission, authority, evidence, and reversibility conditions; its actual outcome selects no more than three prospective B2 trials under those conditions. That trial choice does not supply a directly governed result admitting this representation’s contribution to the preparation action. The preparation claim group is unresolved until the preparation-use owner returns its governing predicate and actual admitting or declining result. The trial decision grants neither performed Work nor any assignment, permission, or authority.

Reopening after performed trials. C.37 claim group C37-EC417-B2-Reopen-1 has receiver MethodEngineer-17 and exact later action ‘decide which findings from performed trial Work reopen the candidate’. In this application the three-release statement remains WorkPlan WP-EC417-B2-Trial-1: no corresponding release Work has yet been admitted, no exact candidate-episteme/viewpoint-edition pair has been tested under E.17.0, and no direct receiving governor has returned a predicate and outcome for that reopen action. A.2.4 classification or an A.10 path cannot replace those missing results, so this claim group is unresolved.

The relation between the uses. The cross-use profile records the shared evidence-entry, confidentiality, recovery, and stop correspondences, the preparation claim group’s missing receiving result, and the reopening claim group’s separate missing Work, conformance, and receiving bases; it keeps WorkPlan, any later Work, both actions, candidate readings, conformance judgments, and receiving results separate. It creates no super-view, Method admission, fit, transfer, worth, publication, or mathematical graph.
