SYSE.34:4.5 - Execute within the boundary and separate contraction

Carry out the qualified bounded increment with the actual permission and observation needed to stop. A timeout or inconsistent state suspends dependent reliance; it does not justify blindly restarting the whole procedure.

Retain the old contract while the selected return depends on it. Removing old fields, accepting non-invertible new values or changing the write authority is a later state change with its own consumer and recovery question. Use SYSE.29 to arrange migration or continued support for remaining users, decide what must happen to retained state, and fulfil or obtain permission to end support commitments that outlive the technical transition.

Return the achieved compatible state, applicable evidence and remaining limits to deployment and release work. An engineered procedure is not evidence that it has already run, and a successful migration is not general release permission.
