+1. Split the program into tranches with explicit dependencies, and write why the program exists, its scope and how it was split in `docs/delivery/index.adoc` (a docs-profile document). Activate a tranche as soon as its own dependencies have merged; do not wait for a whole wave. A tranche whose dependencies are still open may run PLAN and `plan_review` but nothing after; revalidate its plan once they merge.
 2. For each active tranche, create a worktree from the owning repository's workspace and start a driver in it through the multiplexer (see Multiplexer). Send the mandate, submit it, wait 4–6 s, and read the pane: a working indicator or agent output means it landed; an empty prompt or placeholder means retry before waiting on anything.
 3. Wait on the multiplexer's events, not polling loops, and on every driver at once. When a slot frees, give it to the next ready tranche or to planning ahead.
 4. Keep provider health for the whole program. When a driver reports a model unavailable, tell every driver to go straight to the next model in its lists until it recovers, so no tranche spends time rediscovering an outage.

 3. Fallback: after `fallback.after_failures` failures within `fallback.within_minutes` (outage, rate limit, no auditable report), use the next model in the stage's list and record it with its `kind` (`outage`, `rate_limit`, `no_report`, `timeout`), `failures`, and the `window` from the first to the last counted failure. REQUEST CHANGES is never a failure. With the list exhausted, `when_exhausted: block` emits `BLOCKED provider-unavailable`; `wait` keeps retrying the last model.
 4. For each finding of a REQUEST CHANGES review, either have the author fix it, or write one rebuttal with evidence (a test result, a rule id, file:line). Then run a fresh review of the same stage. If that reviewer upholds a disputed finding, emit `BLOCKED disputed-finding`; never dispute it a second time.
 5. Any commit, regenerated file, conflict fix or rebase after an approval cancels it. A change to the code goes back through `code_review`, then `final_review`.

When `final_review` approves, set `status: ready` and `approved_sha` to that SHA, commit the evidence and reports alone, push, and merge with a merge commit once CI is green.
