2026-07-08 — Severity ≠ priority (records an earlier-session decision): intents declare severity (capture-ledger enum) and edges (blocked_by, builds_on); effective priority is DERIVED via priority inheritance (max of own severity and severity of everything transitively blocked) and never stored — a minor blocker of a major intent jumps the queue while staying minor. Phases keep sequencing authority (adr-9); lint makes contradictory schedules fail. Recorded as itd-78; piloted on itd-76/77.
