 <#
 .SYNOPSIS
-    Pre-tool-use hook that enforces the PowerShell per-batch change budget.
+    Pre-tool-use hook that routes PowerShell changes of more than three production files to the orchestrated large path.
 
 .DESCRIPTION
     This script is invoked by the Codex PreToolUse hook before any Write or Edit
     operation. When the target file is a PowerShell source file (.ps1, .psm1, .psd1),
-    it classifies the file as either production or test and checks the running count
-    against the per-batch cap:
-      - 3 production PowerShell files per batch
-      - 3 test PowerShell files per batch
-
-    A "batch" is scoped to the current Codex session. The running count is
-    persisted under .codex/state/powershell-batch-budget.<session_id>.json. Only
-    distinct file paths are counted; repeated edits to the same file consume one slot.
-
-    Test files are those matching:
+    it decides whether the change may proceed in direct mode.
+
+    Direct mode counts distinct production PowerShell paths per Codex session. The
+    running set is persisted under .codex/state/powershell-batch-budget.<session_id>.json,
+    and repeated edits to the same file are counted once. The 4th distinct production
+    path is denied with a POWERSHELL_LARGE_PATH_REQUIRED reason that instructs the
+    caller to route the change through .codex/prompts/orchestrate-work.md.
+
+    The orchestrated large path is detected from
+    <root>/artifacts/orchestration/orchestrator-state.json. The selected route is the
+    route_id value when that key is present, otherwise the path_selected value, and it
+    is usable only as a non-blank string. When the selected route is large,
+    remediation, or preparation and the checkpoint is not terminal (next_step is not
+    complete and completed_steps does not contain S12_complete), no path is denied for
+    count and no state is written. Every other checkpoint outcome, including an absent,
+    unreadable, or malformed checkpoint, enforces direct mode.
+
+    Test files are never counted. They are those matching:
       - tests/**/*.ps1
       - *.Tests.ps1
 
-    All other .ps1/.psm1/.psd1 files are treated as production files. Non-PowerShell
-    paths pass through.
+    All other .ps1/.psm1/.psd1 files are production files. Non-PowerShell paths pass
+    through. The threshold of three production files is a routing constant and is not
+    configurable at runtime. Legacy prodCap, testCap, and testFiles keys in a persisted
+    state file are ignored when the state is loaded.
 
-    An approved per-session override is recorded by writing
-    {"prodCap": N, "testCap": M} into the Codex state file.
+    When a production path is denied, the script emits a PreToolUse JSON response with
+    hookSpecificOutput.permissionDecision = 'deny' and exits 0. Files already counted
+    are always allowed through.
 
-    When the cap would be exceeded by a new file, the script emits a PreToolUse JSON
-    response with hookSpecificOutput.permissionDecision = 'deny' and exits 0. The session
-    must explicitly reset the counter by deleting the state file before starting a new
-    batch. Files already counted are always allowed through.
+    Known limitation: a stale non-terminal large-path checkpoint left at the root
+    exempts a later direct-mode session at that root. Orchestrator checkpoint hygiene
+    (issue #673) moves foreign checkpoints aside before a new run.

+    .SYNOPSIS
+        Runs the Codex PowerShell batch-budget decision and returns the process exit code.
+    .DESCRIPTION
+        Parses the Codex PreToolUse payload through the shared transport, collects both
+        sides of every mapped file edit, and evaluates each path with the hook. The
+        first deny is written to the output stream as compact JSON without its state
+        property, followed by exit code 0. When nothing is denied the function returns
+        0 and writes nothing else. Any failure writes the error text to standard error
+        and returns 2. The function does not call exit.
+    .PARAMETER PayloadRaw
+        Raw PreToolUse payload text.
+    .PARAMETER RepositoryRoot
+        Root used to locate the Codex state directory and the orchestrator checkpoint.
+    .PARAMETER HookSeams
+        Optional seam overrides splatted into Invoke-PowerShellBatchBudgetHook.
