-4. `systems/coverage.md` was generated by tooling (verify the `<!-- okf:coverage-generated -->` marker) — **every** package/module the graph found is required by default (the fan-in floor only types Subsystem-vs-Module, it does not exempt), so none may be **MISSING**.

 The engine indexes C/C++, Go, Python, TypeScript/JS, and more (tree-sitter, 159 languages) plus LSP-assisted resolution for the major ones, and detects HTTP/gRPC/GraphQL routes. Indexing is incremental in the engine (content-based, git-aware). This refreshes the engine index and rewrites the `schema.yaml` gate marker; it produces no committed graph data.

-## 1. Overview
-
-**What this track delivers:** {one paragraph from spec.md — the feature, bug fix, or refactor being scoped}
-
-**Inputs:** {what triggers or feeds into this feature}
-**Outputs:** {what this feature produces — data, side effects, API responses}
-**Constraints:** {latency, throughput, compatibility, security — anything from spec.md Non-Functional Requirements}
-
-**Integration points:** {which existing modules from `draft/.ai-context.md` this track touches}
-
----
-
-## 2. Module Breakdown
-
-### Modules Introduced or Modified
-
-For each module in scope, fill out one block:
-
-#### Module: `{module-name}`
-
-- **Status:** `[ ] New` | `[ ] Modified` | `[x] Existing (unchanged)`
-- **Responsibility:** {one sentence — what this module owns}
-- **Files:** `{path/to/file1}`, `{path/to/file2}`
-- **API Surface:** {public functions, classes, or interfaces — names only, contracts in §6.1}
-- **Dependencies:** {other modules this imports from}
-- **Complexity:** `Low` | `Medium` | `High`
-- **Story placeholder:** _populated by `draft implement`_
-
-{Repeat for each module.}
-
----
-
-## 3. High-Level Design (HLD)
-
-### 3.1 Component Diagram
-
-Shows modules in scope + the external collaborators they talk to.
-
-```mermaid
-flowchart TD
-    subgraph Track["Track: {TRACK_ID}"]
-        M1["{module-1}"]
-        M2["{module-2}"]
-        M3["{module-3}"]
-    end
-    subgraph Existing["Existing System"]
-        E1["{existing-module-A}"]
-        E2["{existing-module-B}"]
-    end
-    subgraph External["External"]
-        X1["{DB / queue / API}"]
-    end
-
-    M1 --> M2
-    M2 --> M3
-    M1 --> E1
-    M3 --> X1
-```
-
-> Draw one node per module in scope. Include existing modules only when this track calls into them. Label edges with the transport (HTTP, RPC, queue, direct call) when non-obvious.
-
-### 3.2 Data Flow
-
-End-to-end flow of data through the track's modules.
-
-```mermaid
-flowchart LR
-    In["{input — request / event}"] --> V["{validation}"]
-    V --> L["{business logic}"]
-    L --> P["{persistence}"]
-    P --> Out["{output — response / emitted event}"]
-```
-
-> Replace with the actual transforms. If the track has distinct read and write paths, draw them separately.
-
-### 3.3 Sequence Diagrams — Critical Flows
-
-One sequence per acceptance criterion that involves more than a single module call. Skip for trivial single-module tracks.
-
-#### Flow: {name — e.g., "Happy path: user submits X"}
-
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram
-    participant U as {Caller}
-    participant A as {module-1}
-    participant B as {module-2}
-    participant D as {DB / external}
-
-    U->>A: {request payload}
-    A->>B: {internal call}
-    B->>D: {query / write}
-    D-->>B: {result}
-    B-->>A: {response}
-    A-->>U: {final response}
-
-    Note over A,B: {invariant / gate — e.g., "tx must be open here"}
-```
-
-#### Flow: {error path — e.g., "Dependency timeout"}
-
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram
-    participant U as {Caller}
-    participant A as {module-1}
-    participant D as {External}
-
-    U->>A: {request}
-    A->>D: {call with timeout={N}ms}
-    D--xA: {timeout}
-    A->>A: {fallback / circuit breaker}
-    A-->>U: {degraded response or error}
-```
-
-### 3.4 State Machine(s)
-
-Include only if the track introduces or modifies stateful entities. Omit otherwise.
-
-```mermaid
-stateDiagram-v2
-    [*] --> Pending
-    Pending --> Processing: start
-    Processing --> Complete: success
-    Processing --> Failed: error
-    Failed --> Pending: retry (max {N})
-    Failed --> DeadLetter: retries exhausted
-    Complete --> [*]

-## 4. Dependency Analysis
-
-### ASCII Dependency Graph
-
-```
-[module-1] ──> [module-2]
-    │              │
-    └──> [module-3] <──┘
-```
-
-### Dependency Table
-
-| Module | Depends On | Depended By | Cycle? |
-|--------|------------|-------------|--------|
-| `{mod}` | `{list}` | `{list}` | no |
-
-### Cycle Mitigation
-
-_If any cycles detected, describe how they are broken (shared interface extraction, dependency inversion, etc.). Otherwise: "No cycles detected."_
-
----
-
-## 5. Implementation Order
-
-Topological sort — leaves first.
-
-1. `{module-A}` (no internal deps) — foundational
-2. `{module-B}` (depends on: A)
-3. `{module-C}` (depends on: A, B)
-
-**Parallel opportunities:** {which modules can be built concurrently}
-
----
-
-## 6. Low-Level Design (LLD)
-
-> Present when `--lld` flag was passed to `draft decompose` OR any module in §2 has `Complexity: High`. Otherwise this section reads: _"LLD not generated. Run `draft decompose --lld` to expand."_
-
-### 6.1 Per-Module API Contracts
-
-For each module in §2 marked `New` or `Modified`:
-
-#### `{module-name}` — Public API
-
-| Function / Method | Signature | Params | Returns | Errors / Exceptions |
-|-------------------|-----------|--------|---------|---------------------|
-| `{name}` | `{lang-appropriate signature}` | `{param: type — constraint}` | `{type — shape}` | `{error types / codes}` |
-
-**Preconditions:** {what must be true before call — caller responsibilities}
-**Postconditions:** {what is guaranteed after successful call}
-**Invariants:** {properties preserved across calls — thread safety, idempotency, ordering}
-
-{Repeat per module.}
-
-### 6.2 Data Models & Schemas
-
-Concrete shapes for every new or modified entity this track introduces.
-
-#### `{ModelName}`
-
-```{language}
-{actual type definition — struct, class, interface, proto message, TypedDict, etc.}
-```
-
-| Field | Type | Nullable | Default | Validation / Constraint |
-|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------------------|
-| `{field}` | `{type}` | yes/no | `{default or —}` | `{rule}` |
-
-**Storage:** {where persisted — table, collection, key prefix}
-**Indexes / Keys:** {primary key, unique constraints, indexed fields}
-**Migration:** {if this is a schema change — migration path and rollback}
-
-{Repeat per model.}
-
-### 6.3 Error Handling & Retry Semantics
-
-Per-operation policy. One row per operation that has non-trivial error handling.
-
-| Operation | Error Class | Classification | Retry? | Backoff | Max Attempts | Fallback |
-|-----------|-------------|----------------|--------|---------|--------------|----------|
-| `{op}` | `{ErrorType}` | transient / permanent / timeout | yes/no | `{policy}` | `{N}` | `{behavior}` |
-
-**Propagation model:** {how errors surface — Result type, exceptions, error codes}
-**Circuit breaker:** {thresholds, half-open policy, reset} — omit if N/A
-**Idempotency:** {which operations are idempotent and how — dedup key, tx id}
-
-### 6.4 Algorithm Pseudocode
-
-Include only for non-trivial logic. Skip for straightforward CRUD.
-
-#### {Algorithm name}
-
-**Inputs:** `{...}`
-**Outputs:** `{...}`
-**Complexity:** `O({...})` time, `O({...})` space
-
-```
-{numbered or indented pseudocode — language-agnostic}
-1. validate inputs
-2. ...
-3. return result
-```
-
-**Edge cases handled:**
-- {case 1 — what happens}
-- {case 2 — what happens}

-
