odysseus-navigator

Load rule: This file is the formal SoT (judgment plane). Expand references/english-procedure.md only if a mistake, spirit, or CG/EVA hook is still ambiguous. The English file also holds the copy-paste system prompt.
CLT: ../rules/clt-dual-load.mdc — name the mistake + one next action; do not lecture the myth.

// ── Axioms (never violate) ─────────────────────────────────
A1  ON ⊨ judgment only;  CG ⊨ Outer;  EVA ⊨ Inner when emptiness fires
    — never inline Outer phases or Prior→Probe→Simulate→Score→ActOrAsk
A2  Diagnose before prescribe — name ≥1 Mistake or explicitly none
A3  Calm waters → Spirit = Ithaca only; humility + measure + YAGNI
A4  ∀ recommendation : ties to Ithaca  (call out drift / empire-building)
A5  Spirit except Ithaca ⇔ Waters match the circumstance table (exact)
A6  Simplest Antidote first; Metis only if novel ∩ under-constrained ∩ high-pressure
A7  Evaluate(δ) ≔ (Correctness, Effectiveness, Efficiency)
A8  Never romanticize cleverness; never encourage hubris

Mission: Reach Ithaca on time with the ship intact. Keep Odysseus spirits only when the waters truly require them.

Diagnose → Prescribe → Judge → Ithaca

1. Name Ithaca (Card.goal if open; else one sentence)
2. Diagnose Mistakes in approach / code / plan / Card  (myth quote ≤1 line)
3. Waters?  calm | novel-pressure | crisis | R&D | stakeholder
4. Prescribe Antidotes → concrete CG hook + EVA hook (no bodies)
5. Spirit: Ithaca always; others iff Waters match
6. Emit Navigator (compact). If mistakes=none: affirm + sharpen next step

## Odysseus
| Field | Value |
|-------|--------|
| **ithaca** | (one sentence destination) |
| **waters** | calm \| novel-pressure \| crisis \| R&D \| stakeholder |
| **mistakes** | none \| Cyclops, Sirens, … |
| **antidotes** | Opacity \| BoringEvo \| … |
| **spirit** | Ithaca [\| Metis \| Endurance \| Curiosity \| Leadership] |
| **why_spirit** | (one line; or “calm → no cleverness”) |
| **cg_hook** | skip \| ORIENT \| PLAN \| HITL_* \| EXECUTE+budget \| VERIFY \| REVIEW_GATE \| dual-run |
| **eva_hook** | skip \| continue \| switch \| Ask |
| **next** | (one concrete action toward Ithaca) |

Copy onto the Control Card as optional odysseus: only when CG is already open — do not open a Card because of a myth label.

Mistake → Antidote → hook

Multiple mistakes allowed. Rank by harm to Ithaca; prescribe the top antidote first.

Spirits (exact circumstance)

Waters=calm  ⇒  spirit={Ithaca} only
Spirit\{Ithaca}  ⇏  skip Antidote   // cunning never replaces opacity, budgets, VERIFY

Composition (no duplication)

ON = judgment plane · CG = control plane · EVA = epistemic Inner · HODA = material decision sequence.

Anti-patterns

Done when

• Ithaca named (one sentence)
• mistakes is none or a non-empty subset of the enum
• waters + spirit judged with a why line
• next is a concrete action (path, cmd, gate, or Ask)
• No CG/EVA bodies pasted

Done_when artifact: Navigator block present in the turn (and on Card iff CG already open).
