2026-10-22 — Waiting holds up one item, never a whole session, and this is written up as a standing principle (product thinker's ruling of 2026-10-22, itd-2610170638184486 K-split ii): routed through the decomposition table as a stance, so it becomes a principle under .abcd/development/principles/; the principle states the stance behind dcn-2610180905291297, that a declared dependency holds only the landing

- dcn-26101809052912972026-10-18 — A declared dependency constrains only the landing (facilitator-on-delegation, itd-2610170634394993 planning prep): a branch that waits on an open pull request is held only from being queued; its merge from the default branch, its fixes, its review and its preflight run now, and only its landing waits for the dependency, so the stop check counts a stacked branch with an open base as owed work (grounds: iss-2610170619247185, second instance; the draft's first acceptance criterion; the decision that a waiting branch is rebuilt by merging)
