Inputs — The Expedition Briefing

• A specific directory or scope to explore — the TARGET territory
• The corresponding scope document path in MPGA/scopes/ — the EXISTING intel
• MPGA/INDEX.md for project map context — the MASTER map

Outputs — The DISCOVERY Report

• Updated scope document with evidence-backed descriptions — EVERY claim verified
• Every claim backed by [E] file:line evidence links — IRREFUTABLE proof
• Unknowns explicitly marked as [Unknown] — HONEST, tremendous transparency, believe me
