Workflow graph

A workflow changes when any coordinate changes.

Planisphere maps the workflow before it tests anything: who uses it, where it runs, what data it touches, what output it produces, and which compliance gate it has to clear.

formal coordinates: D, Sigma, S, L, R, N, G_sign, G_text, Y, C_phil

Every row pays a layer.

graph, normalization, harness, readout, source, clock
graph

The workflow entity and relationships.

normalization

The translation into stable terms.

harness

The test dependency this row must face.

readout

The eventual PASS, PARTIAL, or FAIL surface.

source

The bytes, page, note, report, or run that anchors the row.

clock

The time boundary. Freshness matters.

Row contract.

No row, no harness. No harness, no evidence.

Why graph first?

Because the harness needs something precise to hit
before graph unmapped workflow

Everyone argues about the demo.

after graph compliance coordinates

The workflow has source, layer, boundary, and clock.

after harness readout

The row survives, narrows, or fails.

after evidence report

Internal or external compliance sees what can and cannot be approved.
