The pipeline
A task is not one call to a model. It moves through stages, and build scope decides which of them run.
Clarification, Routing, Component Planning and Component Props Compilation always run — without them there is no answer at all. Everything else is what scope turns on. Each stage name links to a page on what that stage reads, produces and enforces.
What scope really changes
Connected and Entire system run the same stages. The difference is not which stages run — it is how much each one is made to produce. Connected follows the work your request actually triggers; Entire system materialises every stage of the Space model whether the request touched it or not.
How many artefacts
Only this is capped on purpose: you asked a question, so you get the answer rather than a project around it.
Extra surfaces
Choosing
- Only this — an answer, quickly. Selection, planning and building; nothing else.
- Connected — the answer and its consequences. Almost always the right one for real work.
- Entire system — a genuine reset. Slowest and most expensive; the right choice less often than people expect.
