Planning anchors are not automatically exact contract deadlines.
A CBA outside date is an upper bound; an individual contract may require an earlier choice.
Current cap context is not a recalculated future branch result.
Unknown cap holds, rights, exceptions, roster effects, market prices and legal mechanics remain unresolved.
Branches are conditional planning frames, not probabilities or recommendations.
Decision sequence, reported salary, current cap position, roster effect, CBA legality, market price, basketball evidence and outcome evidence remain separate. No blended score or automatic action is produced.
