3Start with a useful repository outcome and add coordination when it earns its

11| One change, close human guidance | Manual/team work: give an owner the outcome, use repository instructions, implement and obtain the chosen independent check. | Work must survive turns or move between seats. |
12| Continuing work with visible ownership | Queue-supported orchestration: use `rig queue create`, claim work, then `rig queue handoff` with the candidate/evidence to the next owner. Record real blockers and the continuation. No Workflow instance is needed. | Repeated steps need an explicit dependency graph and permitted exits. |
13| An explicit execution contract | Workflow: inspect `rig workflow compile`, then deliberately use `rig workflow instantiate-lifecycle`. Advance its packets through the workflow projection mechanism. | The actual project needs reusable profiles, additional roles or gates. |
