# T-2321: Pickup: AEF→TermLink first-contact: T-2303 arc-011 parallel-execution scoping (from 999-Agentic-Engineering-Framework)

## Problem Statement

<!-- What problem are we exploring? For whom? Why now? -->

## Assumptions

<!-- Key assumptions to test. Register with: fw assumption add "Statement" --task T-XXX -->

## Open Questions

<!-- T-2190 (T-2186 Slice 4): every IW-N question must be disposed before
     --status work-completed. Disposition gate (agents/task-create/update-task.sh
     check_disposition_gate) refuses on under-disposed inceptions.

     Per-question shape:

       - **IW-1: <question text>**
         confidence: 0-3      (your confidence in your current answer; 0=guess, 3=verified)
         disposition: answered | deferred | dissolved
         rationale: <one-line evidence — file:line, decision id, dialogue ref>

     Never bare yes/no — the gate refuses bare checkboxes. See 050-Inceptions.md
     §Disposition Gate. Bypass: --skip-disposition-gate "rationale" (direct) or
     FW_SKIP_DISPOSITION_GATE=1 (env-var, T-1890 producer/consumer parity).
-->

## Exploration Plan

<!-- How will we validate assumptions? Spikes, prototypes, research? Time-box each. -->

## Technical Constraints

<!-- What platform, browser, network, or hardware constraints apply?
     For web apps: HTTPS requirements, browser API restrictions, CORS, device support.
     For hardware APIs (mic, camera, GPS, Bluetooth): access requirements, permissions model.
     For infrastructure: network topology, firewall rules, latency bounds.
     Fill this BEFORE building. Discovering constraints after implementation wastes sessions. -->

## Scope Fence

<!-- What's IN scope for this exploration? What's explicitly OUT? -->

## Acceptance Criteria

### Agent
<!-- @auto-tick-on-decide -->
- [x] Problem statement validated
<!-- @auto-tick-on-decide -->
- [x] Assumptions tested
<!-- @auto-tick-on-decide -->
- [x] Recommendation written with rationale

### Human
<!-- @auto-tick-on-decide -->
- [x] [REVIEW] Review exploration findings and approve go/no-go decision
  **Steps:**
  1. Run: `fw task review T-XXX` (opens Watchtower with recommendation, assumptions, research artifacts)
  2. Review the Agent Recommendation section and go/no-go criteria evaluation
  3. Record decision via the Watchtower form or the command shown alongside the QR code
  **Expected:** Decision recorded, task completed
  **If not:** Ask agent for clarification on specific findings

## Go/No-Go Criteria

<!-- Fill these BEFORE writing the recommendation. The placeholder detector will block review/decide if left empty. -->
**GO if:**
- Root cause identified with bounded fix path
- Fix is scoped, testable, and reversible

**NO-GO if:**
- Problem requires fundamental redesign or unbounded scope
- Fix cost exceeds benefit given current evidence

## Verification

# Shell commands that MUST pass before work-completed. One per line.
# Lines starting with # are comments (skipped). Empty lines ignored.
# For inception tasks, verification is often not needed (decisions, not code).
#
# Toolchain hint (L-291): if a GO decision will mean editing *.vbproj/*.csproj/*.xaml,
# *.go, Cargo.toml, tsconfig.json, or pom.xml in the build task, plan to add the
# matching build command (dotnet build / go build / cargo check / tsc --noEmit /
# mvn compile) to that build task's ## Verification — P-011 only runs what you write.

## Recommendation

**Recommendation:** DEFER

**Rationale:**

Filed pre-T-1716 gate without Recommendation. Promotion criterion: re-surface when concrete spike data or human-graded evidence emerges. Auto-retrofitted by 'fw inception retrofit-rec --apply'.

**Evidence:**

<!-- Pre-gate retrofit. Add concrete evidence when re-surfacing. -->

## Decisions

<!-- Record decisions ONLY when choosing between alternatives.
     Skip for tasks with no meaningful choices.
     Format:
     ### [date] — [topic]
     - **Chose:** [what was decided]
     - **Why:** [rationale]
     - **Rejected:** [alternatives and why not]
-->

## Decision

**Decision**: DEFER

**Rationale**: Recommendation: DEFER

Rationale:

Filed pre-T-1716 gate without Recommendation. Promotion criterion: re-surface when concrete spike data or human-graded evidence emerges. Auto-retrofitted by 'fw inception retrofit-rec --apply'.

**Date**: 2026-06-10T22:40:52Z

## Updates

<!-- Auto-populated by git mining at task completion.
     Manual entries optional during execution. -->

### 2026-06-10T22:40:52Z — inception-decision [inception-workflow]
- **Action:** Recorded inception decision
- **Decision:** DEFER
- **Rationale:** Recommendation: DEFER

Rationale:

Filed pre-T-1716 gate without Recommendation. Promotion criterion: re-surface when concrete spike data or human-graded evidence emerges. Auto-retrofitted by 'fw inception retrofit-rec --apply'.

Evidence:

### 2026-06-10T22:40:52Z — status-update [task-update-agent]
- **Change:** horizon: next → later
- **Reason:** Inception decision: DEFER — parking task
