predictive-execution

The ambient execution discipline — predict the outcome of every consequential command BEFORE running it and treat any surprise (better or worse) as a model error to investigate; choose the next action by information gain; estimate blast radius before touching anything shared. Trigger this continuously during hands-on work: before running a command/test/query whose outcome matters, when choosing among several possible next actions, and before editing anything with dependents. Do NOT confuse with verification-loop (which says WHEN to run checks — after each edit) or debugging-methodology (which owns hypothesis-testing once a failure is confirmed): this skill governs the epistemic stance around every execution — it is usually what DETECTS the failure those skills then handle.
