+A partial: the CONTRACT of every Git operation that is not a PR-host operation, written once.
+
+It declares no `output-dir:`, so the build skips it and it reaches the artifacts only by
+expanding into the reference modules that import it
+(`tests/fixtures/mds-manifest.ts` names it in `MDS_REFERENCE_PARTIALS`). Three partials
+hold the operation text, split by who imports them:
+
+- `_ops.mds` (this file) — the contracts of the eleven tracker operations and of
+  `learn-conventions`; imported by the three provider modules and by `_references.mds`.
+- `_ops_pr.mds` — the contracts of the eight PR-host operations; imported by `_pr.mds`.
+- `_ops_steps.mds` — the inline steps the tracker operations run identically under every
+  provider; imported by the three provider modules.
+
+D-OP-ONE-REF. A Git spawn runs one operation and loads exactly one operation reference
+for it. The agent body holds the shared rules and a table naming that reference
+(`## Loading the mechanics`); everything the operation itself needs is in the file the
+table names: `pr/{op}.md` for a PR-host operation, `tracker/{provider}/{op}.md` for a
+tracker operation, `learn-conventions.md` for the one operation whose reference is a
+named document. A tracker operation also reads the tracker contract once per spawn
+(`tracker/_contract.md`, plus `tracker/_mcp.md` off GitHub); that is the contract of the
+tracker, not of the operation.
+
+D-OP-CONTRACT-ONCE. An operation's contract is its description, its `**Input:**`, its
+degradation notes and its `**Output:**` template: the part of an operation a CALLER
+depends on. Each one is a `{op}_contract` define, called by every module that emits that
+operation, so the three provider copies of a tracker operation carry the same contract
+bytes BY CONSTRUCTION. `tests/tracker/single-authority.test.ts` proves it from the built
+references.
+
+D-OP-MOVABLE. Every operation reference opens with its contract, then its steps. A step
+list is mechanics; a contract is a promise. Keeping them apart in each file is what lets a
+later change replace an operation's steps with a script and leave the contract where
+callers and guards read it. `tests/tracker/reference-structure.test.ts` holds the order:
+`**Input:**` before `**Output:**`, and both before the first `### Process`.
+
+WHY THREE PARTIALS. The resolver's compile cost is exponential in a module's own define
+count (`_steps.mds` records the measurement). All thirty defines in one module did not
+finish compiling, while twelve, eight and ten compile in milliseconds; the split is by
+importer so that no module pulls in text it does not emit. A define that wants a home
+here belongs in whichever partial its importer already reads, never in a fourth define
+count past a dozen.
+
+Every partial is imported by ALIAS (`as ops`, `as props`, `as opsteps`), never
+selectively: a selective import deep-copies every named function into every `@define` of
+the importer, and that is the cliff `tests/build-mds-compile-time.test.ts` holds shut.
+These defines call nothing, so they capture nothing.
