    What this page is

    This is generated FPF reference text from the specification preface or supporting sections. It helps interpret FPF; it is not FPF Reference product documentation.

    Methodology

    Use it to understand how the specification wants to be read, then return to a route, pattern, or work packet for active work. Cite generated IDs only when the wording changes the task decision.

    Content

    Governs (kit surface):

    • ShortlistId bound to CG‑FrameContext
    • a selected set of candidates plus rationale and assurance records (SCRId required; DRRId optional; cite PathId/PathSliceId when applicable)
    • optional front metadata or archive metadata needed for reproducibility when used: ε‑front parameters and/or archive snapshot hooks, with governing-definition assignment through G.5 / C.18 / C.19 (no local semantics in G.1)

    Governing pattern: selection/dispatch semantics are governed by G.5. M4 MUST preserve set‑return semantics (as governed by G.Core) and MUST NOT hard‑code a forced singleton outcome.
