Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Description
`order`	Order	required	The Order in intake.
`received`	`json`	required	What the Customer supplied, measured as the brief measures it, such as a 79,400-word manuscript.

Outputs

Output	Type	Required	Description
`order`	Order	required	The Order, its `fulfillment` set to `working`, or still `intake` while a Question is open.

Effects

Emits Order.started.
Performed by the Delivery Manager.
Two-way: it runs at once, in the try, send and do modes.
Asks the Customer one Question for every missing input; the deadline starts when the answer arrives.
Sets dueAt from the brief’s turnaround, counted from the moment the work starts.
Quotes work beyond the brief on a new Quote on the same Deal; the Order keeps its accepted lines.

Refuses when

Check	Error	Fix	Then call
The key is valid, but its scopes do not allow this operation.	`forbidden`	Use a key whose scopes cover the operation, or ask an owner of the namespace to grant them.	Order.start

When it waits

Gate	Default
Decision class	Low: two-way, nothing at stake
Delay window	None: it runs once review passes.
Limit	The call Limit of the Permission it runs under.
Over the Limit	It waits `pending` for an Approval from the Founder. Approved, it runs; refused, it ends `refused` with `limit-exceeded`; unanswered by its deadline, it ends `canceled`.
