+### Milestone-scope variant
+
+When dispatched as the **milestone fieldtest** — the closing
+gate for a tracker milestone (see `../../docs/pipeline.md`
+§ Milestone-close gate) — the carrier is scoped to the
+milestone's promise rather than one cycle's surface:
+
+| Field | Content |
+|-------|---------|
+| `milestone_id` | e.g. `milestone-7` |
+| `milestone_promise` | the milestone's stated goal / acceptance from the tracker (and its spec, if one exists) — what the work as a whole promises to deliver |
+| `commit_range` | `<milestone-start>..HEAD` |
+
+In this mode, Phase 1 derives 2-4 **curated end-to-end
+scenarios top-down from `milestone_promise`** — each scenario a
+realistic downstream task that, run end to end, demonstrates the
+milestone delivers what it promised. Do **not** assemble the
+scenarios as the union of per-cycle axes; the per-cycle
+fieldtests already covered axis-local surface. There is no
+`axis_hints` fallback in this mode: if `milestone_promise` is
+empty, infer it from the milestone's spec / tracker entry, and
+if that is also empty, return `NEEDS_CONTEXT`.
