Research direction
Read the referenced passages in versions/TheAlgorithm_Latest.md, especially around lines 95, 98, 327, and 378, and compare the minimum-criteria wording with the fix-a-typo example. Confirm the canonical minimum with the surrounding guidance, then make the conflicting statements consistent and verify that all cited sections agree.

Description
The Ambiguity
v0.5.9 states two different minimums for Ideal State Criteria:
Says 8:
OBSERVE phase (line ~95): "Minimum 8 IDEAL STATE Criteria, 8-12 words each"
Says 4:
Quality Gate QG1 (line ~98): ">= 4 criteria exist"
ISC Requirements table (line ~327): "Minimum 4 criteria"
"Even 'fix a typo' has: file changed, typo gone, no new typos introduced, build passes" (4 criteria)
Question
Is the canonical minimum 4 (with 8 as guidance for non-trivial tasks) or 8 (always, even for trivial tasks)?
The fix-a-typo example with exactly 4 criteria suggests 4 is the real floor, but the OBSERVE phase text says 8.
