Create makes a new Story from the inputs below. It is inherited: every Noun has get, list, create, update and delete.

Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Description
`icp`	ICP	required	The ICP it speaks to: one Story per ICP.
`hero`	`text`	required	Who the customer is and what they want.
`problem`	Problem	required	The Problem: external, internal, and the villain behind it.
`guide`	`text`		The Startup’s empathy and authority, the authority read from Metrics and Evidence.
`plan`	`text`		Three steps, each naming a declared Event.
`success`	`text`		What the customer gains.
`failure`	`text`		What the customer risks without it.
`oneLiner`	`string`		The Story in one sentence.
`direct`	Offer		The direct call to action: an Offer that makes a Customer.
`transitional`	Funnel		The transitional call to action: a Funnel opt-in that makes a Lead.
`from`	`string`	required	Lineage: the slot it compiles from, as `Hypothesis#<slot>@v<version>`.
`stance`	`string`		The positioning the Positioning tournament chose, graded Behavior; every compiled asset recompiles when it changes.
`category`	`string`		The market category name the Story claims, as answer engines repeat it.
`hypothesis`	Hypothesis		The Founding Hypothesis whose slots the Story compiles from; a pivot recompiles it.

Outputs

Output	Type	Required	Description

Effects

Emits Story.created.
Two-way: try, send, do.

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.	Story.create

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`.
