Proposes the design prompt “Anticipate what you can. Design for what you can’t” within the existing adaptation and dynamic-coherence work. It asks people to examine foreseeable effects while retaining ways to detect a mistaken model and recover. Forecasts confer no authority; over-anticipation and brittle optimization remain explicit failure modes.

The original four-document proposal is retained on current main 95f6b73af47a4eb3e75ba3f0829e692af526bb11. A fifth file, the existing dynamic-coherence lineage note, repairs an unusable reference route and distinguishes checked source material from Root Sequence interpretation. The Resilience Engineering Institute overview and Woods publisher abstract were inspected; the full technical note and article were not read. These support the named component concepts, not the effectiveness of this proposed RS prompt.

The shared Design Grammar now keeps its pending-author-review status separate from dated source additions. The existing October 1 source addition was moved into change history. Corresponding metadata normalization in #42 resolves the conflict without copying either proposal's substantive additions into the other. Project-local applications, canon, roles, and implementation remain local decisions.

Validation: complete proposed diff and relevant source context reviewed; all 238 reader-document files, Idea Trail graph/index, scoped whitespace, and 11 site tests pass. Tree-merge checks show #40/#42 and #40/#44 combine cleanly. Source routes and inspection limits are explicit. No blocking issue found in this scope; this is not full literature review, research validation, author approval, or a newly established universal theory.

Current head: b14ee22016bf9890715ba78e48b819759830f054. Five documentation files differ from main. No merge, deployment, personal-page edit, or private-source export was performed by the agent.
