Use when work is mission-shaped — multi-session, consequential, cross-agent, or interruption-expensive — or on the explicit phrase "manifest this" (also /manifest): open, resume, verify, or close a custodied mission with recorded authority, durable checkpoints, drift re-anchoring, and independent acceptance. Answers "will this survive interruption?", "who authorized this scope?", "what makes done defensible?". Do NOT fire for routine one-step work checkable in-session.
