+## Capability preflight lifetime (#470)

+After `gitea_resolve_task_capability(task=…)` proves the mutation is allowed,
+interleaved **read-only** calls preserve that proof until a gated mutation
+consumes it:
+
+- Safe reads: `gitea_whoami`, `gitea_view_pr`, `gitea_view_issue`, `gitea_list_*`,
+  `gitea_get_runtime_context`, `gitea_check_pr_eligibility`, and related
+  read-only inventory/eligibility tools (see `preflight_contract.py`).
+- Each mutation consumes the proof once; call `gitea_resolve_task_capability`
+  again immediately before the next mutation on the same task.
+- Resolving capability for a **different** task replaces the prior task binding.
+- Workspace edits before resolve, profile switches, or a dirty whoami baseline
+  invalidate proof (fail closed).
+
+If a mutation fails with “capability has not been resolved” or “task mismatch”,
+re-run `gitea_resolve_task_capability(task="<mutation>")` immediately before
+retrying — do not guess or skip the resolve step.
