orchestrate-project-by-steps

Turn a PROJECT (automation / internal tool) request into a fully decomposed, materialized queue of development sub-steps the RIGHT way — the frozen process for projects, the sibling of orchestrate-content-by-steps. Use when the owner wants a private automation ("summarize my YouTube channels to Telegram every morning", "auto-publish on a schedule", "a tool for my own use"), NOT a public content group. You (Hermes / a model) PROPOSE a graph of nodes (task / tools / keys / io / dependsOn); this engine NORMALIZES it, VALIDATES the DAG, GATES on spec completeness, and MATERIALIZES the whole queue to disk — one rich spec step per node plus one coder-handoff step per node — BEFORE any development. It does NOT deploy, does NOT execute a node, does NOT write code: a coding agent builds each node LATER from its step file. The gate is SPEC COMPLETENESS, not a deployment record.
