+A requested lane that cannot be staffed is a typed gap -- `agent_not_registered`,
+`capability_not_granted` or `audience_not_authorized` -- and the gap keeps the
+work it did not staff under `declined_first_todo`, so the owner sees what was
+asked for and what is missing instead of a lane that was quietly filled in or
+dropped. A lane that declares a gap may not declare work. The plan is a preview:
+the validated payload carries `applies: false`, and an owner's confirmation of
+that exact preview is the only thing that admits an apply. Apply routes to the
+canonical owners each effect already has -- Agent registration, Todo creation,
+quota or goal policy -- reuses the identities the preview named, may not widen
+the confirmed scope, and a team plan is never settled as if the work were done.
+
+Shipped enforcement, in delivery order:
+
+1. **Contract and validator** (`#4519`, `3acd07697`). The kind, its schema, the
+   lane limit, the priority and gap vocabularies, public-safe text, and the
+   refusal to invent staffing.
+2. **Chat admission** (`#4522`, `3c8c832cb`). `normalize_agent_response` admits a
+   preview only when the host supplies `team_plan_context` -- this Goal's
+   registered Agents and this host's supported advancement action kinds -- and
+   drops it otherwise, exactly like any other proposal it cannot accept, while
+   the answer text still reaches the owner.
+3. **Apply** (`#4524`, `c159a15b3`). The governed transition owner dispatches the
+   kind at `PRE_SETTLEMENT`. The apply re-validates the proposal against the
+   Goal's registered Agents and the shipped advancement action kinds, creates
+   the first bounded Todo of each *ready* lane through the canonical Todo owner,
+   creates nothing for a gap lane, and refuses an unknown Goal before any write.
+   The receipt records the proposal digest, so a replayed settlement reuses the
+   same lane Todo instead of adding a second row.
+
+The intake is still inert in production, and this section does not claim
+otherwise. Nothing yet supplies `team_plan_context`, so a model-authored preview
+is dropped at admission instead of being surfaced for confirmation; the adapter
+that supplies the admission facts and the settlement that re-derives them must
+stay one contract rather than two; and the apply entry point today is a governed
+capability execution journal, so a confirmed Chat preview needs that bridge
+before an owner confirmation can materialize lanes. Two further gaps belong with
+this work: the published receipt carries the first lane Todo's identity rather
+than the identity of every lane it created (the apply result computes the full
+`lane_todo_ids` set, and the receipt field set is closed and persisted, so
+publishing it is a bounded compatibility change), and a multi-lane preview has
+no frontend confirmation surface yet.
+
+### Relationship to the multi-agent contracts
+
+The intake is a user-layer affordance over the kernel the multi-agent contracts
+already define; it adds no second team runtime.
+
+- Against `multi_agent_three_layer_minimality_contract_v0`
+  (`docs/reference/protocols/multi-agent-three-layer-minimality-v0.md`), the
+  owner's one sentence is the user layer, the steward's bounded procedure is the
+  preset layer, and lanes, first bounded Todos, quota envelope, acceptance and
+  stop condition are declared data the kernel mechanics consume. The intake must
+  not own a runner, panes, per-agent vision budgets or evidence loops; it
+  materializes goal work lanes through the canonical Todo owner, which is what
+  keeps a team request from becoming a product-specific runner.
+- Against `multi_agent_visible_launcher_v0`
+  (`docs/reference/protocols/multi-agent-visible-launcher-v0.md`), the launcher
+  starts visible local panes from a `generic_multi_agent_launch_spec_v0`, and
+  the intake is the same intent entered from Chat. They join by identity
+  (`goal_id`, `agent_id`, and the lane's first Todo), not by one calling the
+  other, and the launcher's own rule applies unchanged to the intake: no leader
+  agent, hidden scheduler, promotion authority or second source of truth. A plan
+  that needs visible panes, pane-local A2A ticks or promotion evidence has to
+  name that as a supported action kind instead of embedding it in the preview.
+
+What this contract does not authorize: the steward still only proposes and
+delegates; selecting a steward executor or storing a credential grants none of
+these effects; and nothing here widens OS, provider, audience or work-state
 authority.

-   使预览即使被误用也无法落地。

+Todo 创建、quota 或 goal policy——复用预览点名的身份，不得扩大已确认范围，也不得把团队计划
+当作工作已完成的结算。
+
+按交付顺序，已经落地并受强制的部分：
+
+1. **契约与校验器**（`#4519`，`3acd07697`）：kind、schema、lane 上限、优先级与 gap 词表、
+   公开安全文本，以及"拒绝编造 staffing"的行为。
+2. **聊天准入**（`#4522`，`3c8c832cb`）：`normalize_agent_response` 只在宿主提供
+   `team_plan_context`（本 Goal 已注册 Agent + 本机支持的 advancement action kind）时才让
+   预览通过；否则与其它无法接受的提案一样被丢弃，而答案正文仍然到达业主。
+3. **落地**（`#4524`，`c159a15b3`）：受治理提案所有者在 `PRE_SETTLEMENT` 相位分派该 kind，
+   落地时重新按本 Goal 已注册 Agent 与本机 shipment 的 advancement action kind 校验，经
+   canonical Todo owner 为每条 **ready** lane 创建首个有界 Todo，gap lane 不创建任何东西，
+   未知 Goal 在任何写入前就被拒绝，回执记录 proposal digest，因此重放结算复用同一条 lane
+   Todo 而不会新增第二行。
+
+这条入端口径目前在线上仍是**惰性**的，本节不作相反声明：还没有任何生产调用方传入
+`team_plan_context`，因此模型产出的预览会在准入处被丢弃，而不会浮现给业主确认；提供准入事实
+的适配器与重新推导这些事实的结算必须保持同一份契约而不是两份；而今天的落地入口是受治理能力
+执行 journal，所以被确认的 Chat 预览还需要那座桥，业主确认才能真正建成 lane。另有两处缺口
+属于这条工作线：已发布回执只带第一条 lane Todo 的身份，而不是它创建的全部 lane 身份（apply
+结果里算了完整的 `lane_todo_ids`，但回执字段集是封闭且持久化的，发布它是一次有界的兼容性
+变更）；以及多 lane 预览还没有前端确认面。
+
+### 与 multi-agent 契约的关系
+
+这条入端口径是既有 multi-agent 契约所定义内核之上的**用户层**便利：它不新增第二套团队
+runtime。
+
+- 对应 `multi_agent_three_layer_minimality_contract_v0`
+  （`docs/reference/protocols/multi-agent-three-layer-minimality-v0.md`）：业主那一句话是用户
+  层，管家那段有界流程是 preset 层，而 lanes、首个有界 Todo、quota 包络、验收与终止条件是
+  内核机制消费的声明数据。入端口径不得拥有 runner、pane、per-agent vision 预算或证据回路；
+  它只经 canonical Todo owner 建出 Goal 工作 lane，这正是它不会变成产品专用 runner 的原因。
+- 对应 `multi_agent_visible_launcher_v0`
+  （`docs/reference/protocols/multi-agent-visible-launcher-v0.md`）：launcher 从
+  `generic_multi_agent_launch_spec_v0` 启动可见本地 pane，而这条入端口径是同一意图从 Chat
+  进入。两者按身份相连（`goal_id`、`agent_id` 与该 lane 的首个 Todo），而不是互相调用；
+  launcher 自身那条规则对入端口径同样成立：不得成为 leader agent、隐藏调度器、晋升权威或
+  第二真源。需要可见 pane、pane 内 A2A tick 或晋升证据的计划，必须把它声明为受支持的
+  action kind，而不是塞进预览里。
+
+这条契约不授权什么：管家仍然只提议与委托；选择管家执行器或存凭据都不带来这些 effect；
 这里也不会扩大 OS、provider、受众或工作状态权限。
