# ExecutionManifest

Binding of Design and Procedure

Layer: Infrastructure · Category: Data Structures

## Mechanism

A composite artifact that binds a 'Target Design' (What to build) with an 'Operation Sequence' (How to build and rollout it). It acts as the atomic 'Release Candidate' for the execution phase.

## Invariants

- Carries both a target design and an operation sequence; neither may be absent.
- States the cost it expects its steps to consume. Judging that against a budget is `Realizable`'s work.

## Failure modes

- Nominal binding: both halves present and the procedure does not build that design.
- Projection exceeded at execution.
