Define operation-level contract and payload boundaries. 2. Implement resource/DTO/provider/processor changes with explicit mapping. 3. Apply operation-specific validation and security constraints. 4. Validate functional behavior across happy and negative paths. ## Guardrails - Keep API contract explicit and version-aware. - Avoid exposing internal entity fields implicitly. - Prevent drift between docs and actual serialization. ## Progressive disclosure - Use this file for execution posture and risk controls. - Open references when deep implementation details are needed. ## Output contract - API artifacts changed (resource/DTO/provider/processor). - Contract/security decisions and rationale. - Functional verification results. ## References - `reference.md` - `docs/complexity-tiers.md` --- > Source: [MakFly/superpowers-symfony](https://github.com/MakFly/superpowers-symfony) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
