PM should inherit approved context, not just receive tickets
ContractSpec treats PM as the destination for reviewed handoff, not the place where context goes to die.
Most PM tools start after the hardest part.
By the time the work reaches the tracker, somebody already had to decide scope, risk, owner, and what "done" means.

ContractSpec treats PM as the place approved work lands, not the place where it gets guessed from scratch.
That means the handoff can carry:
- decision context
- acceptance criteria
- visible dependencies
- verification expectations

The goal is not to replace Linear or Jira on day one.
The goal is to stop exporting hollow tickets that lose the reasoning on the way out.
That is why the PM layer follows reviewed handoff instead of pretending it can replace it.

There is still a bigger execution-graph story over time.
But the credible wedge is simpler:
approved work should arrive in PM with more truth attached to it.
