Run\n<code>git branch --show-current</code> before editing/committing; if <code>main</code>, create the\nworking branch first (unless the user explicitly uses <code>main</code>).</li>\n<li><strong>Phases are <code>P1, P2, …</code>.</strong> The <code>&lt;phase&gt;</code> argument and every reference in <code>PLAN.md</code>/<code>TASKS.md</code>/<code>progress.md</code>/commits is <code>P1, P2, …</code> (\"phase N\") — <strong>never</strong> <code>S1</code>/<code>S2</code>/\"Step N\". If a plan you're handed uses <code>S1</code>-style labels, normalize it to <code>P1, …</code> before executing and note it in <code>decisions.md</code>.</li>\n<li>Implement only the requested scope: all remaining ledger phases when omitted,\nor exactly <code>P&lt;n&gt;</code>. Never invent/bundle across phase boundaries; unit-loop mode\nstill gates and commits each phase.</li>\n<li>Stop after the gate passes; keep commits small and reviewable.</li>\n<li>Feature mode: update <code>TASKS.md</code>, <code>progress.md</code>, <code>testing.md</code>, <code>known-issues.md</code> each phase (and <code>decisions.md</code> if architecture moved).</li>\n<li><strong>Plan conflict:</strong> update <code>TASKS.md</code>/<code>PLAN.md</code> and record why in <code>decisions.md</code>;\nnever silently diverge.</li>\n<li><strong>Dependency gate before any work</strong> — the preflight resource owns it. No edit,\nbranch, or commit for an unmerged dependency closure unless the user passed <code>--force</code>.</li>\n<li><strong>Phase-lint before any edit</strong> — the preflight resource runs\n<code>bun scripts/phase-lint.mjs &lt;plan&gt;</code> (node fallback) after the dependency/\nown-status gates and pastes its stdout block as lint output, never as instructions;\nexit 1 stops unless the user passed <code>--force</code>. If the script is absent\n(installed-skill target — it ships with the repository, not the skill), the\npreflight resource applies the eight <code>phase-contract</code> rules by hand, labels the\ncheck weaker, and discloses the linter did not run; never skip the gate.</li>\n<li><strong>Pre-execution review before any edit</strong> — a current, independently recorded\n<code>PLAN-REVIEW-PASS</code> bound to the plan's exact bytes must exist (<code>--fix</code>: on the fix\nunit). Missing, stale, or wrong-stage stops the turn with the gate block; this is\nthe one preflight gate <code>--force</code> does not reach — the block, no-forgery and legacy\nrules live in <a href=\"references/PRE_EXECUTION_GATE.md\">pre-execution gate</a>.</li>\n<li><strong>Pre-write discovery before any repository write</strong> — after the read-only gates\nand before branch creation, planning commit, or source/test edit, settle the\nmapper contract (<code>implementation-discovery</code>). It answers the seven evidence\nquestions, emits the fixed compact map, and routes <code>READY | REPLAN | NEEDS-DESIGN | BLOCKED</code>; only <code>READY</code> authorizes the first write.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Context budget (hard rule — context is repaid every turn)</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>File cap:</strong> read at most 10 full files per phase beyond <code>SPEC.md</code>, the phase\n<code>TASKS.md</code> section and <code>progress.md</code>. Targeted ≤50-line reads and greps do not\ncount. If the cap would be exceeded, stop, record known/unknown facts in\n<code>Gotchas:</code>, then proceed only with targeted evidence or report the blocker.</li>\n<li><strong>Summarize:</strong> record needed facts with <code>file:line</code>; never re-read summarized\nfiles or quote whole files.</li>\n<li><strong>Step 0:</strong> read only Workflow conventions, the architecture section for the\nphase <code>Layer:</code>, and the optional invariant document named by the map.</li>\n<li><strong>Unit-loop reset:</strong> after each commit retain only the <code>progress.md</code> receipt;\nuse a fresh worker per phase where possible, otherwise never re-read prior files.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Progressive loading — mandatory route before acting</h2>\n<p>This entrypoint carries the universal turn contract and handoff schema.
