D5: Forming: branch accounts
Explain the branches as organizational forms.
This is a reading key. The linked contract and card hold the rules.
Reading order
- Contract, method, standing instructions.
- Your recorded platform: Claude or Codex.
- Full D5 card, then the run's head, diary and handler deliveries as that card prescribes.
Inputs and permitted reading
Use the full card's startup packet and reading boundaries. Do not use files from later stages merely because this repository contains them. Historical interviews use the files in their selected bundle.
Outputs, quoted from the card
forms/<id>-account.md per branch;
branches-D5.jsonl; waterfall-D5.md;
survival-D5.md; lines in findings.jsonl and
defects.jsonl; notes-D5.md.
Legs
D5a: branch. Repeats: yes. Interview point: -.D5b: waterfall and survival. Repeats: no. Interview point: -.
Checks and handback
The stage card governs its checks. The handler and leg controller govern opening, close, pause and recovery. Do not infer permission to start from this page. Keep notes and the head current; the conversation and filesystem must match at any resumable close.
