# Direction Sources **Status / authority:** Current folder index for client-readable direction frameworks **Effective date:** 2026-08-05 **Dependencies:** `../LEGANT_METHOD_REFERENCE.md`; published Legant Method page, Step 4 **Supersedes:** No prior direction-folder index - `Four Narrative Constraints.md` — legacy (replaced for new work by the nine-question Operating Manual's "What I choose" answers, 2026-11-01): definition, boundaries, claim status, and revision conditions for How / Engine, Why / Stakes, Challenge / Adversary, and Build / What Accumulates. Its ownership and reasons-for-pursuit check still applies. Current direction: `../LEGANT_METHOD_REFERENCE.md` §§2–3. The internal Method Reference remains the architecture authority, with supporting detail in `../METHOD_ARCHITECTURE_DETAIL.md`. This folder supplies addressable detail without creating a second process architecture.
