5// Boxes are activities; diamonds are decision points; ellipses are terminal states.
6// Both fresh and resume entry points run the gates first. On resume, after gates
7// pass, Triage dispatches to the next unfinished activity. Self-review issues are
8// fixed inline (loop back to SelfReview, not back through Activities 1-4). The
9// optional Prototype step runs after the breakdown is reviewer-ready.
