Alternative or experimental flows not listed here are not required for compliance.
1. Scope
This specification defines the normative requirements for Golden Flows.
2. Non-Goals
This specification does not mandate specific implementation details beyond the defined interfaces and invariants.
Golden Flows are normative validation scenarios that define expected behavior for MPLP-conformant implementations.

The Five Golden Flows
| Flow | Name | Purpose | Modules Involved |
|---|---|---|---|
| GF-01 | SA Lifecycle | Single-agent lifecycle correctness | Context, Plan, Trace |
| GF-02 | MAP Coordination | Multi-agent coordination | Collab, Role, Dialog |
| GF-03 | Drift Detection | Plan-execution divergence | Plan, Trace, Confirm |
| GF-04 | Delta-Intent | Incremental state update | Context, Trace |
| GF-05 | Governance | Policy enforcement | Confirm, Role |
Traceability
All Golden Flows are mapped to:
- Modules they validate
- Cross-Cutting Duties they exercise
- Test files in the repository
Change Policy
Golden Flows are Normative. Changes require Documentation Governance review. Semantic changes require MPGC approval.
