# Timebox: AWT/CGP Execution Timeboxing is an outer time and convergence envelope around authorized work. It does not add scope or replace the task's acceptance criteria. AWT is the primary Available Work Time. Plan substantive work, verification, organization, and delivery inside it. CGP is a shorter Closeout Grace Period for an already-converged deliverable, an unexpectedly delayed final check, narrow closeout organization, or communicating the result. CGP is never a second work window. ## Activate only with authority Use this protocol only when one of these conditions supplies authority: - The requester explicitly asks for timeboxing. - The requester supplies an AWT/CGP pair or names AWT or CGP. - An applicable project policy requires the protocol. Never infer a timebox from task size, urgency, or an estimate. Never invent a duration. ## Establish the fixed clock Accept any unambiguous duration units. Validate the supplied pair before doing timeboxed work: - `AWT > 0` - `0 <= CGP < AWT` - CGP is materially shorter than AWT and sized for closeout, not ordinary work. When the context already establishes AWT/CGP, interpret shorthand such as `30/10` as AWT 30 minutes and CGP 10 minutes. Do not create a confirmation loop for clear shorthand. If either duration is missing, ambiguous, or inconsistent with the two roles, ask the requester. Do not silently repair the pair. Record a timezone-bearing original start and calculate: ```text normal_deadline = original_start +
