   an `independent_git_worktree`. An explicit Git task repository or an explicit

   root must equal the registered project root; nested repositories, linked

+- `quota should-run` reuses that registered `local_goal` identity for local

+  Relative Goal scopes keep their existing matching semantics; absolute grants
+  under the registered root are projected into the same relative view, including

+  Caller cwd does not rebase the declared targets or itself block local work.
+  If actual delivery is produced in the Goal project from another cwd, use
+  `refresh-state --delivery-workspace-path <Goal-project>`; settlement consumes

 - `todo complete --evidence <pointer>` can record a validated local artifact.
   `--result-file` additionally requires approved Goal acceptance criteria bound
   to that Todo. A standalone Todo validator does not establish Goal acceptance;
