## Coverage Notes

- `-` in Upstream means foundational; in Downstream it means nothing is built on it yet; in Last Reviewed it means no review record exists.
- PP-001 has no QC checklist yet; it is accepted by the Product Owner's stand-in.
- Use cases, user stories and design artifacts are added in MIL-002.
