+<!-- Glossary authoring skeleton (spec-artifacts-iso, FR-044). A project's
+     Ubiquitous-Language vocabulary. Contract (manifest body_extraction
+     asserts, validated by `quire validate`):
+     - REQUIRED (level 2): Terms — a table with headers EXACTLY
+       Term | Definition, with >= 1 data row.
+     - The `Term` column is harvested by quire-rs and fed to the EARS
+       object-aware vague-response check (FR-042/043) as accepted concrete
+       terms, so a requirement that says "the system shall provide a
+       <glossary term>" is not flagged as vague.
+     - Define terms the project uses in a SPECIFIC way (ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148
+       glossary intent); common industry terms ship in the module lexicons
+       and need not be repeated here.
+     - Keep headings unique per level. -->

+## Terms
+
+| Term | Definition |
+|------|------------|
+| Place | Convert a draft order into a binding purchase request. |
+| Capture | Confirm payment for a placed order at the authorised amount. |
+| Fulfilment | The pick, pack, and ship work that completes a paid order. |
+| Cancellation window | The period during which a placed order may still be cancelled without compensation steps. |
