How a level is built One continuous run of the eleven steps in LEVELS.md — from computing the frontier to the single owner pause. Every gate, ledger and refusal drawn here is one the repository actually enforces.

The workflow itself is normative and lives in the repository: LEVELS.md for the eleven steps, ARCHITECTURE.md for every gate and why it exists, CLAUDE.md for the owner rules that bind each agent. This page is an explainer: no gate reads it, and it carries no mathematics of its own.
