# ManifestPlanning

Transform FrameSpec into ExecutionManifest via optimization

Layer: Mind · Category: Strategy

## Mechanism

The architectural phase of workflow orchestration. It produces a structured [Plan](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Plan.md) by performing [Think](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Think.md) to transform a [FrameSpec](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/FrameSpec.md) into a runnable [ExecutionManifest](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/ExecutionManifest.md). This process must [Optimize](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Optimize.md) the step sequence for resource feasibility and generate a strict 'Definition of Done'.

## Invariants

- Causality: Step B cannot precede Step A dependencies.
- Resource Bound: Total cost must be within FrameSpec budget.

## Failure modes

- Hallucinated Resources: Planning to use tools that do not exist.
- Fragile Chain: A single step failure collapses the entire plan.

## Signature

- `Think(ExecutionManifest)`
