//! Section I — execution guidelines.
//!
//! A guideline is a **phase**: a named stretch of the run with its own standing
//! instruction, and its own place in an ordering. Nodes opt into a phase with
//! `stage:`, and a node's phase must be active before it is dispatched.
//!
//! This is the layer the execution graph deliberately does not have. `graph`
//! edges mean "this node reads that node's output" — a data dependency, and
//! nothing else. Phases express the other kind of ordering, the one that is
//! about method rather than data: *gather before you draft*, *land the tests
//! before you refactor*. Overloading `depends_on` with both would make the
//! critical path meaningless, because half the edges would not be real work
//! dependencies at all.
//!
//! Ordering is written as arrows, because the thing being described is an
//! ordering and a list of `depends_on` arrays reads like a data structure:
//!
//! ```yaml
//! execution_guidelines:
//!   items:
//!     - name: gather
//!       guideline: Collect sources. Write nothing yet.
//!     - name: draft
//!       guideline: Write only from what `gather` collected.
//!   dependency:
//!     - gather -> draft -> review
//! ```
