# Propose external change

## Contract

| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | Work must change state in an external system such as a tracker, chat workspace, or remote repository rather than local files. |
| Authority | Reversible local: writes only named local artifacts (the persisted proposal); rollback is deletion of the proposal file. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | Uses a least-privilege read connector for discovery, emits one signed and minimized write proposal, persists it, and stops at the human gate; no direct external mutation. |
| Done | The proposal is persisted and the run halts awaiting a human decision; no external write occurred without that decision. |

## Inputs
