plan-freeze-stage1-core

To validate freeze criteria for Stage 1 artifacts, the system reconciles your planning templates and dependency gates to perform deterministic checks, ensuring baseline consistency before locking the stage.

A Stage 1 freeze review is an artifact generated by validating planning artifacts against dependency gates, which updates the manifest state to frozen to ensure an auditable transition in your build workflow.

You can update a manifest to a frozen state by running an automated reconciliation process that validates your Stage 1 artifacts against planning templates and writes a freeze review artifact.

No specific dependencies are required to automate Stage 1 freeze state updates, as the skill operates independently to reconcile artifacts and apply deterministic checks against your existing planning templates.

You should lock Stage 1 artifacts to a frozen state during planning and build-workflow stages when you need a consistent, auditable baseline and have passed all dependency gate validations.

Stage 1 freeze validation fails when artifacts do not meet deterministic checks against planning templates or dependency gates, preventing the manifest from updating to the frozen state until inconsistencies are reconciled.
