Problem. A rule cannot influence a decision if the actor does not encounter it in time. As the knowledge base grows, relying on the actor to search the full corpus becomes increasingly unreliable.
Move. Deliver the knowledge needed for the current work where the decision occurs; do not rely on the actor to find it in the full corpus.
Figure B.7-1 shows the selection at the decision point.
Figure B.7-1.Knowledge delivery at the decision point. Context selection joins the current work with the rules relevant to its scope and supplies that subset to the decision. The distinction is encoded by shape and line style rather than color.
Example — File-scoped context. Dynamic context injection selects the rules governing the files in a task and injects those rules into the agent's brief. The relevant rules arrive with the assignment rather than leaving the agent to find them in the full governance corpus.
Example — Dispatch admission. Brief linting applies the same principle one step earlier. A task cannot launch until its brief contains the required markers and context.
