notes:
- Product state is a Notion workstream linked by initiative_id; Discover follows Portfolio classification.
- A build-gate pass may activate a concurrent Software workstream; a GitHub issue is optional repository
  evidence.
- Executing agents write approved state transitions; Conductor remains supervisory for routine state.
