 ## OVERVIEW
 **6-phase** development pipeline (v2.0 compact redesign, Issue #290): PREP → DESIGN → BUILD → VERIFY → SHIP → CLOSE. Phase 3/6 BUILD default build mode is **ralph-loop** (REQ-level iteration, 40-67% token savings vs parallel). HARD-GATE between DESIGN (2/6) and BUILD (3/6): design must pass Delphi review (≥90% consensus) before any coding.
