mk-v8.8.40-next-prompt: Item And Runtime Reader Decision

Source-Specific Distinction: item

mk-v8.8.40-next-prompt deserves its own public page when the reader needs to distinguish item from runtime. The source title and headings point to a different use case than the neighboring article: the lesson is about how mission and hard change the decision a reader should make before relying on constraints. The article therefore teaches a bounded judgment, not a repeated category overview.

Reading Path: mission

Start with mission as the situation, then ask what route adds that would be lost in a merge. A useful public version should let the reader inspect the relationship between requirements and api without needing the private source file. The teaching move is to make the distinction observable: what changes, what stays unproven, and what action follows.

Heading cues transformed for this page: Recursive Continuation Prompt — v8.8.40; Current work-in-progress rule; Known v8.8.39 carry-forward item; Mission for v8.8.40. They are used as topic signals only, not as quoted source passages.

Decision Checklist: hard

1. Identify the practical question raised by item.
2. Explain why mission changes the reader action.
3. Keep hard public-safe by avoiding source passages, private paths, credentials, or operational instructions.
4. Use runtime to state what this page does not prove.
5. Compare constraints with route before deciding whether another page already covers the lesson.
6. Route requirements and api through the category tree without turning the route into the article.

Public Use: runtime

A reader should leave this page with one concrete habit: when a source looks close to another source, compare the reader decision before merging. For mk-v8.8.40-next-prompt, that decision is the relationship among item, runtime, and api. If those terms change the public action, the page should remain separate and should explain the difference plainly.

This entry does not publish the original document, copy source passages, expose local paths, reveal secrets, prove live product behavior, approve adoption, activate billing, execute rollback, or promote private sources. It is a public teaching article authored from the lesson of one source record. Accepted public wiki input remains unchanged; this refinement happens before submission because the corpus publisher is authoring the transformed article.
