When to Convene

Deliberation Required

  • Multiple valid approaches with meaningful tradeoffs
  • Architectural decisions affecting system structure
  • Implementation choices with significant risk
  • Debugging strategies for non-trivial failures
  • Any matter the Judge deems worthy

When NOT to Convene (Dissolution Protocol)

Do not convene when:

  • F0 (Trivial): No meaningful decision; single obvious path.
  • Pure implementation: Clear, unambiguous instruction with no strategic choice (hand to LIL_JEFF).
  • Already decided: Matter covered by binding precedent; cite the case and apply it.
  • Formatting / style only: Covered by existing standards.
  • R/Quarto / data-science only: Task is exclusively R, Quarto, tidyverse, or tidymodels (hand to OCTAVIUS).

When in doubt, the Judge may still convene.
