tegwick 4a56f20209 CANP-WP-0002 T03: composition by reference, two kinds
T01 had already delivered half of composition without naming it: a derived
default binds an input to a prompt dependency, which is transclusion — run
package B, use its output. What was missing was the deterministic half.

`include` inlines another package's rendered template as text. No model is
involved, so the reference CLI can actually perform it, and a shared preamble,
rubric or style block becomes a versioned package instead of copied text. This
is the concrete way to honor INTENT principle 9 without any runtime. `derive`
stays as it was. Both are input defaults, so composition reuses the resolution
machinery rather than adding a second one.

No template inheritance. Four of this repo's own documents argue against it:
INTENT principle 3 (hidden context defeats reuse), section 19's "make package
contents visible before execution", section 17's requirement that behavior
changes produce a new version, and the non-goal on range resolution.

Version selectors: an exact pin is the expected form, with `any`, `newest` and
`>= X.Y.Z` as explicit opt-ins so looseness is written rather than implied by
absence. Selectors are evaluated per dependency against what is available —
no solver, no cross-dependency constraint satisfaction — which is what keeps
them outside the range-resolution non-goal, and the spec says so.

Also defines `type` (template | fragment), which appeared once in the section 4
manifest surface and was specified nowhere.

Spec: 3.2 (type), 5.1 (inclusion resolution rule, renumbered), 6.1 (included
default), 10.1 and 10.2 (new), 18 (rules 14-16), 21.

Reference CLI: validate_version_selector, select_version,
prompt_dependencies replacing prompt_dependency_ids,
check_composition_reference, CatalogComposer with cycle detection, and
resolve_inputs gaining composer= and inherited=. Tests 21 -> 42.

Examples: house-style is a real fragment package; pqrst-estimate composes it
and is bumped 0.1.0 -> 0.2.0 per section 17.

Fixes an ordering bug found while testing: inputs resolved before parameters,
so an included package could not see the including package's parameters and
silently fell back to its own defaults — the fragment rendered tone=neutral
where the including package said blunt. Parameters now resolve first; the
report still lists inputs first.

Review the coding session described below and produce a PQRST Estimate of where effort was spent.

Use these categories:

  • P — Main problem: implementing or directly solving the requested deliverable.
  • Q — Quality and tests: tests, verification, edge cases, maintainability, error handling, cleanup, and production-quality hardening.
  • R — Research and context clarification: reading the codebase or docs, tracing behavior, investigating unknowns, reconciling requirements, and establishing missing context.
  • S — Security and credentials: authentication, authorization, secrets, credentials, trust boundaries, security validation, and security-specific handling.
  • T — Task organization: planning, decomposition, todo management, sequencing, coordination, and overhead required to keep the work organized.

Treat this as a post-session audit, not a planning estimate. Estimate relative cognitive/work effort rather than tokens or wall-clock time. The five percentages must sum to exactly 100%.

Where activities overlap, assign effort according to the primary purpose of the activity. Do not inflate a category merely because it was important; estimate how much effort it actually consumed.

Session material:

{{ session_summary }}

Return:

P: NN%
Q: NN%
R: NN%
S: NN%
T: NN%
Total: 100%

Then provide:

  1. Primary effort driver — one sentence naming what dominated the session.
  2. Interpretation — what the distribution says about the session's shape.
  3. Signal — one notable imbalance, if any, that may be worth learning from.
