# Design Ho Template

For the in-chain wrapper cases of **design tuning** (see Design Work, framework 2.11):
**landings**, and **design-session batches that DO want a ho document**. The design
*sessions* themselves usually run outside the chain with no ho document (their record is
the Basis of Design and the session artifacts); this template is for the numbered hos that
consume or land those decisions inside the chain, where forward-only and
commit-traceability apply.

Landings are `shape: ri` (problem → solution → changes → results fits "move sliders,
land values, lock commit"); session-batch wrappers may be `shape: ha`. The skeleton is
complete; the section prose fills in per project.

# ho-NN — <question or landing being resolved>

<3–5 sentence narrative: which design questions this session resolves or lands,
and what downstream work unblocks.>

## Questions in scope
<one per line, in constraint order; later questions reference earlier winners>

## Constraints (hard)
<palette, reproducibility requirement, medium, out of scope — the pre-written
session prompt's constraint block, or the tuner list for a landing>

## Frozen at session end
<parameter: value — numbers, not descriptions. These update the Basis of Design.>

## Parked
<one line each; items belonging to later questions>

## Landing record (landings only)
<values landed, against what corpus/scale, commit that locks them>

## Propagation record
<any frozen-earlier values this session revised, each with its named reason>
```

_This template is part of the Ho System framework. It is the in-chain companion to
[[design-work|Design Work]] (framework/structure/design-work.md); the eight-step
method and the propagation discipline live there._
