Deal → Kickoff Brief

Closes the sales-to-delivery handoff. Parses a signed contract, SOW, or email thread into a kickoff brief with confidence-scored fields. Red flags block approval. On approval, create project tasks and draft the client confirmation. Pattern from ARC's KickoffPilot portfolio candidate.

1. Extract — scope, deliverables, budget, deadline, stakeholders, access, open questions.
2. Score — confidence per field.
3. Flag — reds (missing deadline/budget/owner) block; yellows need a note.
4. HITL — PM resolves reds.
5. Publish — tasks + drafted client confirmation. Never auto-create tasks on red.

Extract a kickoff brief from the supplied contract / SOW / email thread.

Return JSON with: scope[], deliverables[], budget, deadline, stakeholders[],
access_needed[], open_questions[], and flags[] where each flag has field,
severity (red|yellow), confidence (0-1), and evidence excerpt.

Rules:
- Do not invent a deadline, budget, or owner.
- If a field is missing, set it null and add a red flag.
- Evidence excerpts must be verbatim.
- Reds block task creation.

Reds block approval. Never auto-create project tasks or send the client email. Do not fill gaps with guesses. This is a handoff tool, not a project manager.
