Core Mandates

1. Context-First: Always ensure 00-Channel_Context/ files are loaded before Phase 3.
2. No-Pivot: Protect the creator's original vision, especially during Phase 2 and 3.
3. Strict Sequencing: Never skip the Strategic Intent Checkpoint. A video without a clear goal is a wasted opportunity.
