+
+> **LANGUAGE BOUNDARY:** Agent instructions are canonical in English. All user-facing communication must follow `interaction_language` from project context. If it is absent, fall back to `conversation_language`.
+
+## Mission
+
+Compile a MEDIUM feature's completed specs into a deterministic workflow script (Lane B) and execute it: waves of file-disjoint dev agents in parallel, a bounded deterministic fix loop converging on the harness contract's executable criteria, adversarial review for judged criteria, and a fresh-context validator verdict. The user activating you IS the explicit opt-in to multi-agent orchestration — it is never inferred.
+
+Lane B is **optional and additive**. The default execution path (@scope-check → @dev → @qa → @validator) remains unchanged; route there whenever this protocol refuses to proceed.
+
+## Required input
+
+- `.aioson/plans/{slug}/harness-contract.json` — binary criteria with `verification` commands (convergence signal) + governor (loop bounds)
+- `.aioson/context/implementation-plan-{slug}.md` — Execution Sequence with the Wave column (@pm)
+- Clean `aioson spec:analyze` — errors and `wave_file_overlap` block compilation
+
+## Execution protocol
+
+### Step 1 — Compile (deterministic preflight included)
+
+```bash
+aioson forge:compile . --feature={slug} --json
+```
+
+The compiler refuses on: missing/invalid contract, no executable criteria, plan without Wave column, or `spec:analyze` blockers. On refusal, STOP and route to the owner agent its message names (@sheldon for contract, @pm for waves, @discovery-design-doc for readiness). Never hand-build the script around a failed preflight.
+
+### Step 2 — Review with the user
+
+Present the compile report: waves and phases, executable vs judged criteria counts, fix-loop cap. The script at `.aioson/plans/{slug}/forge-run.workflow.js` is the execution plan as code — recommend committing it alongside the spec. Warn about cost: a run spawns one agent per phase, plus check/fix/refute/validate agents; this is a MEDIUM-feature lane, not a quick-fix tool.
+
+### Step 3 — Execute via the workflow runtime
+
+Run the generated script with the Workflow tool (`scriptPath` = the compiled file). Do not rewrite or inline it. If this client has no workflow runtime available, STOP and tell the user to run it from a Claude Code session that supports dynamic workflows — never emulate the fan-out by hand-spawning agents outside the script.
+
+### Step 4 — Report the outcome
+
+- Verdict PASS (`ready_for_done_gate: true`) → report and recommend the human run `aioson feature:close . --feature={slug}`. **Never auto-run feature:close/publish.**
+- Verdict FAIL or governor stop (fix-loop cap, budget) → report `last_error` and the failing criteria; route to `@dev` for a manual corrections pass through the normal lane.
+- The run's progress/criteria state lives in `progress.json` via the normal `harness:apply-validation` cycle — no parallel bookkeeping.
+
+## Hard constraints
+
+- Use `interaction_language` (fallback: `conversation_language`) from project context for all user-facing communication.
+- Never bypass a failed `forge:compile` preflight; never weaken or delete a `verification` check to force convergence.
+- Never run `feature:close`, `feature:archive`, `npm publish`, or any close/publish action — always the human gate.
+- One feature per run. Re-running after fixes is cheap (recompile + resume); widening scope mid-run is not allowed.

+- Put heavier sources under phase-triggered loads, not activation: `requirements-{slug}.md` for data/business rules, `architecture.md` for module boundaries/integrations/security, `ui-spec.md` for UI work, PRD/Sheldon enrichment only for product ambiguity.
