It grants no writes; read `fo-write-core.md` before FO mutation. The binary owns preparation, withdrawal, recording, and one-use consume; this skill only routes their observed results. **Boot.** `status --boot --identify --json` `ready_gates` gives `definition_dir`, `entity_dir`, slug/stage/readiness.
