 ## Granularity Check
 
 This is intentionally two slices: one planning route and one executable harness route. Stage 5 is not over-granular because it is the first proof involving an admitted owned repository and must separate repository ownership, approval, allowed paths, verification, and operator outcome before default candidacy.
