+## The three checks
 
-Before coding, quickly verify:
+Run, in order: **1. Is the request clear?** · **2. Does it fit the existing architecture?** · **3. Is the approach sound?**
 
-### 1. Is the request clear?
-
-- Are acceptance criteria defined or derivable?
-- Is the scope bounded? (not "make it better" but "add X to Y")
-- Are edge cases considered?
-
-**If unclear** → ask ONE focused question. Max 2 questions, never an interrogation.
-
-### 2. Does it fit the existing architecture?
-
-- Does similar functionality already exist?
-- Does it follow established patterns in the codebase?
-- Does it contradict existing conventions?
-- Do **multiple valid patterns/frameworks** already exist (e.g. Tailwind + Flux, multiple form libraries, competing state stores)? If yes, do NOT pick one arbitrarily — ask which to use.
-- Is the change a **second branch on the same discriminator** — second `match`/`switch` arm, second `if/elseif`, or second class hardcoded to one enum value (e.g. `Provider::FOO`, `'stripe'`)? If yes, run the Strategy sniff test before adding the branch — see [`docs/guidelines/php/patterns/strategy.md`](../docs/guidelines/php/patterns/strategy.md#sniff-test--when-an-enumstring-discriminator-wants-to-become-a-strategy).

-**If multiple valid options** → list them, ask which to use. See [`no blind implementation`](../docs/guidelines/agent-infra/agent-interaction-and-decision-quality.md#2-no-blind-implementation).
-
-### 3. Is the approach sound?
-
-- Is there a simpler way to achieve the same result?
-- Are there known problems with the requested approach?
-- Does the scope match the stated goal? (not over-engineered, not under-specified)
-
-**If problematic** → explain the concern, propose a better approach.
-
-## How to challenge
-
-- **Be concise** — one sentence per concern, not paragraphs
-- **Show evidence** — reference existing code, patterns, or conventions
-- **Offer alternatives** — don't just say "this is wrong"
-- **Use numbered options** — let the user choose quickly
-- **Respect "just do it"** — if the user insists after your challenge, execute immediately

-Example:
-
-```

-> 2. Create new method anyway — I'll explain the overlap in a comment

 NO NEW SPECIALIST WITHOUT A DEPRECATION CANDIDATE WHEN THE DOMAIN IS FULL.
 ```
 
-Personas are review lenses, not free real estate. Every specialist persona has a maintenance cost: it must stay aligned with the schema, the cited skills must still want it, and the per-domain reasoning surface must not bloat to the point that no single persona is load-bearing. This rule routes the agent to [`docs/contracts/persona-schema.md`](../docs/contracts/persona-schema.md) and [`docs/personas.md`](../../docs/personas.md) and enforces the four discipline checks below.
+Fires on creating, editing, or proposing a persona (review lens) — the four discipline checks: **1. per-domain cap (≤ 2 specialists)** · **2. skill citation floor (≥ 1 cite)** · **3. deprecation path (delete + record in commit)** · **4. schema conformance (skill linter)**.
 
-## The four checks
-
-### 1. Per-domain cap — ≤ 2 specialised personas per content domain
-
-A **content domain** is a self-contained creative or technical surface that one or two specialist personas can fully cover. Current domains:
-
-| Domain | Specialists allowed | Examples |
-|---|---|---|
-| ai-video / ai-image / ai-audio | ≤ 2 | one director-shaped lens + one technical-tuning lens |
-| backend engineering | ≤ 2 | architect + ORM-tamer |
-| frontend engineering | ≤ 2 | component / lifecycle + design / a11y |
-| security | ≤ 2 | abuse-case + secrets-and-trust |
-| gtm / growth | ≤ 2 | CMO + RevOps |
-| money / strategy | ≤ 2 | finance-partner + strategist |
-| people / org | ≤ 2 | engineering-manager + people-strategist |
-| customer / discovery | ≤ 2 | discovery-lead + customer-success-lead |
-
-**Core personas** (`developer`, `senior-engineer`, `product-owner`, `stakeholder`, `critical-challenger`, `ai-agent`) are exempt — they are always-loaded cross-cutting lenses, not domain specialists.
-
-A new specialist into a full domain MUST come with a deprecation candidate from the same domain. The agent surfaces both, then runs an ai-council debate (per [`ai-council`](../skills/ai-council/SKILL.md)) before any rename / merge / delete.
-
-### 2. Skill citation floor — ≥ 1 cite before merge
-
-A specialist persona without a `personas: [<id>]` citation in at least one skill's frontmatter is dead weight. The PR adding the persona MUST also add the citation, OR the PR is rejected. Citation map lives in [`docs/personas.md § Skill citations`](../../docs/personas.md#skill-citations).
-
-### 3. Deprecation path — delete immediately, record in commit
-
-A persona being removed is **deleted in the same commit** that lands its replacement. The commit message names the successor (or "merged into X") and cites the council decision (or maintainer rationale) that authorised it. No soak window — internal personas have no external consumers; a persona file kept around as a tombstone is dead weight the linter still loads. No silent deletes either: the audit trail is the commit, not a docs table.
-
-### 4. Schema conformance — the skill linter is the gate
-
-Every persona file is linted against [`docs/contracts/persona-schema.md`](../docs/contracts/persona-schema.md) by the skill linter: frontmatter shape, tier enum, wing enum, required sections per tier, line budget per tier (with wing override), `Unique Questions` ≥ 3, filename / id match, description ≤ 160 chars. The agent runs `./scripts-run src/scripts/skill_linter` before any persona PR is marked ready.

+Fires whenever a `/video:* / /image:* / /audio:*` surface fires, an adapter under `scripts/ai-video/adapters/` is read or edited, or `agents/templates/.ai-video.xml.example` (or the operator's `agents/.ai-video.xml`) is in play. The contract defines four tiers — `experimental | stable | deprecated | community` — and the agent's obligations per tier.
 
-## What this rule enforces
+- **Read the tier before picking** — the `<lifecycle>` element in the provider XML AND the adapter's `Lifecycle:` header comment; a mismatch is a contract violation.
+- **Refuse-and-surface on non-stable** — name the tier, emit ONE clarifying question (per [`ask-when-uncertain`](ask-when-uncertain.md)); no silent default.
 
-1. **Read the tier before picking.** When the agent resolves a provider (from `--provider <id>`, from `<default-video-provider>` / `<default-image-provider>`, or from a skill's default), it MUST read both:
-   - the `<lifecycle>` element under `<provider id="…">` in `agents/templates/.ai-video.xml.example` (or the operator's `.ai-video.xml`), and
-   - the `Lifecycle:` header comment in `scripts/ai-video/adapters/<id>.sh`.
-   Mismatch between the two is a contract violation and MUST be surfaced before running.
-
-2. **Refuse-and-surface on non-stable.** If the resolved default is `experimental`, `deprecated`, or `community`, the agent surfaces the tier and the path to the contract, then emits **one** clarifying question (per [`ask-when-uncertain`](ask-when-uncertain.md)): either confirm the non-stable run, or pick a `stable` provider. No silent default. No "I'll just try it".
-
-3. **Refuse `deprecated` without naming the successor.** A `deprecated` adapter's header comment records the successor; the agent surfaces "X is deprecated; successor: Y" before any run, even with confirmation.
-
-4. **Record the tier in the run summary.** The summary line emitted after every `/video:* / /image:* / /audio:*` run names the chosen provider AND its tier. This is the audit-log entry the agent-in-the-loop enforcement model rests on.
-
-5. **Promotion is the maintainer's call.** The agent never auto-promotes `experimental → stable`. It MAY draft a promotion checklist (see [`docs/contracts/provider-lifecycle.md § 2`](../docs/contracts/provider-lifecycle.md#-2--promotion-path)) for maintainer review, but the tier-flip commit is human-authored.
-
-## Failure modes — what counts as a violation
-
-- Running `/video:scene` against the `<default-video-provider>` without reading the lifecycle tag first → violation.
-- Picking a `community` provider because it was named in the prompt, without surfacing the tier → violation.
-- Editing an adapter and leaving its header `Lifecycle:` comment out of sync with `agents/templates/.ai-video.xml.example` → violation (CI does not catch this; the agent must).
-- Auto-promoting an adapter from `experimental` to `stable` because "dry-run worked" → violation. Promotion requires a maintainer-captured real-API smoke trace under `agents/reference/ai-video/smoke-traces/`.
-
-## Day-one state
-
-All five shipped adapters (`openai-images`, `gemini-veo`, `kling`, `higgsfield`, `sora`) ship as `experimental`. This means **every** default `/video:* / /image:*` run today triggers the refuse-and-surface path. That is intentional — it is the conservative-by-construction posture the contract argues for. As maintainers capture smoke traces and flip individual adapters to `stable`, the friction reduces per-adapter.
-
-## Why agent-in-the-loop, not Python gate
-
-A Python pre-run gate enumerating tier-by-command rules would either be too coarse (`experimental → block`, breaking day-to-day dev iteration) or too detailed (per-command tier matrix, drifting from reality on every new provider). The agent reading the tag at run time, surfacing the tier, and asking is the correct enforcement surface: the model that picked the provider is the model that surfaces the obligation, and the human is the policy decision point.
-
-The CI guarantee is structural reachability — the linter would fail if a provider was declared in `agents/templates/.ai-video.xml.example` without a lifecycle tag (extension planned). It does not enforce the runtime obligation; the agent does.

-
-| Pattern | Example |

-| `task ci-fast` | `task ci-fast smoke` |

-| `composer test` | `composer test on every phase` |
-| `vendor/bin/phpunit` (whole-suite, no path arg) | `vendor/bin/phpunit` |

-
-## Carve-outs — when CI-shaped steps are still allowed
-
-1. **New CI gate / smoke test / test file landed by this roadmap.**
-   Once-locally execution is mandatory under
-   [`verify-before-complete`](verify-before-complete.md) carve-out
-   (see `templates/agent-settings.md` § `quality.local_auto_run`).
-   Mark the step with `<!-- carve-out: new-gate-verification -->`
-   on the same line; linter and execution loop honour it and let the
-   step run.
-2. **`quality.local_auto_run: true`.** Opt-in restores pre-policy
-   behaviour — linter no-ops, execution loop runs CI steps unmodified.
-3. **Acceptance-criteria block at end of roadmap.** Final-gate prose
-   like "All quality gates pass (`task ci`)" inside an
-   `## Acceptance criteria` section is documentation, not an
-   executable step (no `- [ ]` checkbox in front). Linter ignores;
-   execution loop never reaches it as a step.

-per-module roadmap dirs resolved via
-`scripts/_lib/agent_settings.ts::enumerate_modules()`
-(`{module_path}/{modules.agent_folder}/roadmaps/*.md`; Laravel shape:
-`app/Modules/*/agents/roadmaps/*.md`). Exit code:
-
-- `0` — no CI-shaped steps, or setting is `true`, or every match is
-  carve-out-marked.
-- `1` — at least one CI-shaped step in an active (non-archived,
-  non-skipped) roadmap with `quality.local_auto_run: false` and no
-  carve-out marker. Linter prints file, line, matched literal, and
-  suggested rewording.
-
-Archive (`agents/roadmaps/archive/`) and skipped
-(`agents/roadmaps/skipped/`) are out of scope — they record history,
-not future work.
-
-## Execution — process-loop skips inline
-
-Wrappers `/roadmap:process-step|phase|full` honour the policy at the
-top of [`roadmap-process-loop § 5`](../contexts/execution/roadmap-process-loop.md#5-step-loop):
-
-1. Before running a step, match its text against the patterns above.
-2. CI-shaped **and** `quality.local_auto_run: false` **and** no
-   carve-out marker → flip checkbox to `[-]` (cancelled), append a
-   one-line reason as inline note, regenerate the dashboard, continue
-   to next step. **Never** run the gate.
-3. CI-shaped **and** `quality.local_auto_run: true` → run normally.
-4. Carve-out-marked → run regardless of the setting.
-
-The `[-]` reason format is fixed:
-`<!-- skipped: quality.local_auto_run=false → remote CI is the gate -->`.
-Per [`roadmap-progress-sync`](roadmap-progress-sync.md) the flip and
-dashboard regen happen in the **same reply** that decides to skip;
-saving skips for the archive commit is a rule violation.

-## Failure modes
-
-- Authoring `- [ ] Run task ci` while `local_auto_run: false` — linter
-  fails the PR.
-- Executing a CI-shaped step without inline-skip flip — Iron Law
-  violation; loop never reaches the gate.
-- Carve-out marker on an *existing* pipeline run — abuse; the marker
-  is reserved for **new** gates introduced by the same roadmap.
-- Hiding the literal inside a fenced bash block to dodge the linter —
-  linter matches inside fenced blocks too (see
