What this target establishes

Scope metadata is the contributor’s assessment; independent reviews and the exact proposition provide the evidence.

Obligations

composition

Cost metric

none

Model

Generic sequential partial patch interpreter over arbitrary state and operation types.

Assumptions

Operations return Option State; failure propagates.

Implementation correspondence

abstract model

Limitations

No concurrency, diff minimality or native implementation refinement.
