 OpenSpec 1.15.0 supplies the `spec-driven` scaffold and artifact instructions in preparation. OpenCode returns bounded Markdown files under `openspec/changes/issue-<number>-proposal/`. The separate publisher validates those files with the provider, creates a fresh proposal branch and opens a PR with a link to the run. Existing proposal directories and open proposal PRs stop admission. Product code, existing branches and OpenSpec configuration remain untouched. Failed publication may leave a proposal branch; inspect it before retrying. The adopter must allow Actions to create PRs; this repository setting also permits Actions approvals, although these workflows never approve or merge PRs. PRs created with `GITHUB_TOKEN` generate `pull_request` runs that require maintainer approval. Review the proposed changes, then select **Approve workflows to run** on the PR before relying on CI. This is a CI execution gate, separate from accepting the proposal or authorizing implementation. See [GitHub token-triggered runs](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/concepts/security/github_token#when-github_token-triggers-workflow-runs).
 
-A completed proposal sets `waiting-review`, not `planned`. A blocked proposal reports its missing decision with the same attention label and creates no PR. Owner comments do not automatically resume proposal work; review the blocker, refresh refinement when intent changes and explicitly request `propose` again. Source, intent and the reservation are rechecked before publication. The first adapter delivers one proposal per issue and does not update an existing proposal PR.
+A completed proposal links its PR and sets `waiting-review`. Review the proposal there: owner comments, inline comments and submitted change requests run the independent `apply-review` worker with a `propose` result against the existing artifacts and update the same PR. Only open, same-repository proposals created by `github-actions[bot]` are eligible. The host checks current feedback, issue readiness and the PR head before a non-forced branch update. A changed head or discussion stops publication. Approval is acknowledged for the reviewed commit and never starts implementation or merges. This feedback route covers proposal PRs; implementation review remains governed by the completion guide.
+
+Blocked refinement and initial proposal questions can be answered on the issue. Other issue comments receive routing guidance instead of silently appearing accepted. Worker executions serialize by the source issue, including requests from its proposal PR, so unrelated issues retain independent queues. The latest queued feedback execution reads the complete bounded owner discussion, including comments posted while another execution was active. No separate bot account or GitHub App is required for this review path.
 
 The worker requires a Linux runner labelled `lighthouse-workflow`, Node.js, Docker, `flock` and `LIGHTHOUSE_ENGINE_CONFIG` pointing to an operator-owned configuration. See the source repository's `src/examples/opencode-engine` deployment example. The imported OpenCode engine starts a foreground container with read-only product source and harness package, a writable result directory and operator-managed provider authentication. Packaged skills load from `/harness/skills`; consumers do not copy the lifecycle skills into their source tree.
 
+Implementation can opt into [repository execution environments](execution-environments.md) for preflighted Node or .NET images and temporary host-managed PostgreSQL. Existing undeclared consumers keep their current image configuration.
+
+Workers can opt into [OpenAI model profiles and bounded delegation](model-profiles.md). Project settings cannot replace the legacy operator model without explicit operator opt-in; configuration receipts do not prove live provider access.
+
 The subscription profile uses Docker isolation and explicitly disables gh-aw's AWF agent sandbox. It has no AWF egress filtering or credential proxy. The engine gets no GitHub token or Docker socket. Only trusted repository workflows may use the runner, whose Docker access is privileged infrastructure access. All repository runners sharing a host must use the same operator lock path to serialize model execution.
 
 Actions exposes the `OpenCode progress and result` step with public progress messages, concise tool activity, quiet-period notices and the validated result. Redacted structured events remain in a separate `opencode-events` artifact and feed the standard gh-aw session and usage parser. The result envelope and runtime receipt identify source, harness and image revisions. Logs redact common credential formats; this is not a guarantee that arbitrary sensitive product content is removed. Review public-repository content and artifact access accordingly. Agent artifacts use GitHub retention; they are not a permanent retrospective archive.

 ## Implementation delivery
 
-Opt in with `--with-implement`, provision the implementation-capable engine image, and create an `implement` request label. An owner label or manual dispatch authorizes one execution. Admission requires an OpenSpec proposal PR merged by the repository owner, its unchanged artifacts on the default branch, and an entry keyed by issue number in `.lighthouse/implement.json`:
+Install with `--with-implement` and provision the implementation engine image. An owner can request `implement` directly. With this worker installed, successful refinement also hands the issue to an independently dispatched implementation workflow. A blocked refinement waits for the owner's answer; `future` pauses implementation.
+
+The router has two jobs: decide the stage and dispatch it. Every installed stage (`refine`, `propose`, `implement`, `integrate`, `review`) has its own execution. The router records a receipt on the source issue before sending and preserves the original event in an Actions artifact. Preparation authenticates the bot comment, router run and attempt, artifact digest, stage and worker revision, then rechecks current source and owner intent. Workflow revision and product revision remain separate so an owner can test a reviewed workflow branch. Native events dispatch the default-branch worker while preserving the originating event revision; PR review events can use a [PR merge ref](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/events-that-trigger-workflows#pull_request_review), which is not a dispatchable branch.
+
+Each stage request is stable across router reruns. Automatic continuation also keys on the completed source run, preventing duplicate completion events from launching the next stage twice. Dispatch jobs serialize receipt creation; workers serialize execution by issue and claim each request once. Owner PR feedback can wait behind a confirmed active worker and reads the current bounded discussion when admitted. Unconfirmed sends block further requests for the issue until inspected. Routine reruns never reclaim an already claimed request.
+
+Issue receipts show `📥 Requested`, `▶️ Execution admitted`, `⏸️ Waiting for your response`, `✅ Completed` or `❌ Failed or cancelled`, with the phase and execution link. These are the last host observations; open Actions for current queue, cancellation and job status. Result comments retain their validated outcome separately. A lost response or interrupted cleanup can leave an older receipt status, so the display never grants permission to continue.
+
+Successful refinement explicitly wakes the router after publication and reservation release when implementation is installed. This avoids depending solely on GitHub's follow-up events for work dispatched with `GITHUB_TOKEN`. The router waits up to two minutes for the refinement execution to finish and verifies its original owner request, installed continuation policy and published result. The next worker rechecks that evidence, current owner intent and `future` before executing. Native completion events and the explicit wake-up share one dispatch identity, so they cannot start implementation twice. Owner replies resume the blocked stage; proposal review and completion keep their existing approval checks. Integration still requires an explicit owner merge decision for the accepted head. Review retains its integration origin with the protected evidence record, without depending on temporary request artifacts to authenticate that historical record.
+
+For acceptance or deliberate event replay, the owner can dispatch the router with `issue`, the expected next `stage` and `after_run` set to the completed execution ID. The bot can only request the authenticated refinement-to-implementation continuation. Both use the same fresh observations and deduplication as `workflow_run`; neither can force a transition or resend an uncertain request. If the bounded wait expires, inspect the source run and replay after it completes. An expired request artifact, changed source, changed intent or edited receipt blocks admission. Request artifacts last 14 days. Inspect origin and worker runs before reconciling uncertainty; there is no database, persistent dispatcher or SoFa dependency.
+
+The worker creates the OpenSpec plan, implements it and runs checks in one workspace. The PR contains both the plan and code. A separate proposal PR remains available for design-only work; merging one is not an implementation prerequisite.
+
+By default, repositories with a `verify` npm script use `npm ci --ignore-scripts` and `npm run verify`. Other repositories configure checks once in `.lighthouse/implement.json`:
 
 ```json
 {
-  "18": {
-    "proposal": 33,
-    "reviewRequired": true,
-    "scope": "Implement the approved feature; owner visual review remains required.",
-    "paths": ["src/", "tests/", "package.json", "package-lock.json", "openspec/changes/issue-18-proposal/tasks.md"],
-    "checks": [["npm", "ci", "--ignore-scripts"], ["npm", "test"], ["npm", "run", "build"]]
+  "defaults": {
+    "reviewRequired": false,
+    "scope": "Implement only the issue and its acceptance criteria.",
+    "paths": ["*"],

   }
 }
 ```
 
-This is executable repository policy, reviewed with the workflow adoption. Paths ending in `/` allow a subtree; other entries allow one file. Keep the scope specific to the approved change or slice. Harness configuration, installed agents, Git metadata, credential files, workflows and approved design/specification files cannot be changed by this worker. Workflow changes need a separate maintainer-authored change; the publisher has no workflow-write permission. Only the proposal tasks file is writable under OpenSpec. Set `reviewRequired: true` when candidate acceptance needs the owner; the host then forces a blocked assessment and draft PR even if the engine claims success. An adopter may explicitly set it to false where its Definition of Done permits automated assessment. Labels do not replace this policy or approve later stages.
+`*` permits project files; credentials, Git metadata, workflow and harness configuration remain protected. A directory ending in `/` limits writes to that subtree. Existing issue-specific policies still override defaults. `reviewRequired: true` reserves candidate acceptance for a human; `false` allows a complete candidate to become ready for PR review after required CI passes. Every implementation PR starts as a draft. Neither setting authorizes merge.
 
 OpenCode edits a temporary copy, with 30 minutes to return an envelope. The adapter validates at most 512 changed regular files, 4 MiB per file and 16 MiB total, excluding Git-ignored new output while retaining every tracked edit. New reports follow the project’s `.gitignore`; an ignore rule cannot hide changes to existing source. It reconstructs the exact candidate and reruns the configured commands in a fresh container without provider or GitHub credentials. Checks share a ten-minute limit. Only the candidate files enter the PR; logs, screenshots and the retrospective remain in the `implementation-evidence` Actions artifact for 30 days. Result receipts and redacted OpenCode events retain their existing 14-day lifetime. These artifacts are evidence delivery, not permanent archival.
 
-The publisher rechecks source, owner answers, reservation, proposal and policy before creating a new branch. Required human review or failed host checks produces a draft PR with blockers and `waiting-review`; it does not mark `done`, close the issue or start integration. An open implementation PR stops a second implementation run. Review and finish that PR before requesting another slice. The worker does not overwrite or resume an existing branch. The subscription engine still has outbound networking and provider authentication inside its container; shell permissions are not credential isolation. Use only owner-authorized work on the dedicated host.
+The publisher rechecks source, owner answers, reservation and policy before creating a new branch. Starting implementation removes the issue's `ready` label. A linked draft PR projects `pr-draft`; a complete candidate becomes `pr-ready` only when required CI passes and GitHub marks the PR ready. A successful CI job may call `pr-state-actions.mjs` with `LIGHTHOUSE_CI_RECONCILE=true` to project that state immediately; the script verifies the current run and required checks. The router also rechecks open implementation PRs every five minutes because GitHub can suppress completion events in chained workflows. The issue comment links to the PR, whose description uses `Refs #...` until post-merge review closes the issue. Owner PR feedback updates the same branch with a non-forced push and returns it to draft while corrections run. A changed head or edited feedback stops publication. The subscription engine still has outbound networking and provider authentication inside its container; shell permissions are not credential isolation. Use only owner-authorized work on the dedicated host.
 
 To recover a failed candidate, an owner may add `"seed": {"base": "<40-character commit>", "head": "<40-character commit>"}` to that issue’s implementation policy. The head must be one commit directly on the declared base in the same repository. Preparation rejects out-of-scope files, links and changes whose base file no longer matches the current default branch. It binds the validated seed to the request and restores it in the disposable workspace. The engine continues that candidate, reruns checks and creates a fresh PR; the seed branch is never modified. A seed supplies work to inspect, not completion or approval evidence.
 
 ## Integration and review

+
+## Replies to blocked stages
+
+An owner reply to a blocked refinement or proposal resumes that same stage. The router reads current issue state, acknowledges receipt with a reaction and verifies the latest trusted blocked report before admitting work. Preparation validates its run and artifacts, binds the reply to the previous input and adds a source-linked acknowledgement. Proposal replies retain the passed refinement evidence and include all owner answers; they do not approve implementation or merge. Published reports name the stage explicitly.
+
+Passed proposal reports and unrelated issue comments do not grant continuation. Owner feedback on an implementation PR updates that PR; approval requests integration when completion is enabled. Reservations and existing proposal PRs prevent duplicate work. Changed source, edited earlier intent, unavailable artifacts or withdrawn readiness fail admission rather than reusing stale approval. The owner can request fresh refinement when those inputs change. Direct GitHub replies remain supported independently of any future external-client comment or receipt contract.
+
+The source repository [worker catalogue](../../../docs/architecture/06-runtime-view/worker-catalogue.md) describes installed routes and worker boundaries.
+
+The `apply-review` worker is installed with proposal support. It also handles implementation feedback when implementation is installed, preserving its `implement` result. Verified feedback has a stable dispatch identity across repeated events. Approval retains its separate integration route.
+
+## Worker maintenance
+
+Install the optional deterministic workflow with `--with-maintenance`. After reviewing its permissions, set `LIGHTHOUSE_MAINTENANCE_ENABLED=true` and the existing `LIGHTHOUSE_AUTOMATION_ENABLED=true` to observe open owner issues every 30 minutes, or dispatch a single issue manually. Observation alone performs no retry. Set `LIGHTHOUSE_RECOVERY_ENABLED=true` separately to permit bounded recovery; removing it also stops admission of already-requested retries.
+
+Recovery authenticates the original dispatch and its bounded chain, current source and workflow revision, owner intent, reservation and Actions job evidence. It retries only failed or timed-out refine/propose/implement/apply-review executions whose preparation passed and whose trusted publication step is positively recorded as skipped. Each retry is a new receipt and immutable request, at most two per original request, delayed at least 30 minutes after the previous execution. A newer owner request supersedes older recovery candidates. Workers retain their lifecycle gates and current authority checks.
+
+Cancellation, integration/review, human decisions, stale intent/source, expired artifacts, incomplete jobs, uncertain dispatch or publication, and abandoned reservations require operator inspection. A matching unclaimed execution can be identified for reconciliation, but missing confirmation never authorizes resend. Inspect the linked run and its actual effects before making a new owner request. Retries never clear another execution's reservation. Current receipt and Actions observations determine the decision; raw agent prose cannot grant retry authority.
+
+Maintenance bounds are 100 open owner issues, 500 scanned issue/PR entries, 1,000 comments per issue and 100 jobs per execution. Exceeding a bound fails visibly. Original dispatch artifacts retain their existing 14-day lifetime. Recovery does not outlive missing evidence. Scheduled observation only scans open owner issues; closed work requires explicit operator inspection.
+
+An active or queued execution without an Actions update for two hours is reported as stalled. Maintenance does not cancel it or release its reservation.
+
+### Worker error reports
+
+Create one open issue as the repository owner, without workflow labels, for the worker report index. Set `LIGHTHOUSE_REPORT_INDEX_ISSUE` to its issue number after enabling maintenance. The reporter preserves owner prose and maintains a reserved HTML block with report links and creation intent. Removing the variable disables report publication; recovery remains a separate opt-in.
+
+Reports group failures by worker and a fixed cause code. They contain source issue and execution links, retry state, distinct observed counts and a concrete next action. No logs, issue text or model output enter the report. Repeated observations do not increase counts. Only a successful execution from the same request chain resolves an occurrence; unrelated success cannot hide an earlier failure. A new occurrence reopens the existing report. Manual closure survives repeated observation of that same failure.
+
+The index prevents duplicate creation when a GitHub response is lost. A later pass links a uniquely matching bot-owned report. If creation is still unconfirmed, reporting stops for inspection instead of sending again. Disable reporting, inspect the maintenance run and search open and closed reports for that worker/cause before editing the index. Preserve a pending entry until a report can be linked or the owner has established that no creation occurred; deleting it permits a new create. Resume only after reconciling actual effects.
+
+The reporter scans at most 500 issue/PR entries and retains at most 100 worker/cause entries and 200 distinct observations per report, within a 60 KB body. Overflow fails visibly and requires operator archival; nothing is silently evicted. Counts reflect observations made while reporting was enabled. A closed source issue is outside scheduled scanning, so explicitly dispatch maintenance for it when checking recovery. All report writes share one repository-wide Actions concurrency group.

+# Repository execution environments
+
+An adopter can select a build environment once per repository, independently of issue policy. Commit `.lighthouse/environment.json`:

+  "services": ["postgresql"]
+}
+```
+
+The [schema](schemas/execution-environment.schema.json) supports `base` (Node 24, npm, Git and Chromium) and `dotnet` (the base plus SDK 10.0.100). Services must be `[]` or `["postgresql"]`. PostgreSQL must be version 17. Custom images, commands and services cannot be selected by repository content. The host resolves this file at the requested source revision; agent edits cannot change the active environment. This selection applies to implementation and its independent checks, not read-only planning stages.
+
+Operators map each selected profile to a locally installed image ID in `LIGHTHOUSE_ENGINE_CONFIG`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "environments": {
+    "base": { "image": "sha256:<64 lowercase hexadecimal characters>" },
+    "dotnet": {
+      "image": "sha256:<64 lowercase hexadecimal characters>",
+      "postgresImage": "sha256:<64 lowercase hexadecimal characters>"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Merge this section into the existing operator configuration; keep `image`, `implementationImage`, `uid`, `authVolume`, `model` and `lock`. Repositories without a declaration continue using `implementationImage`. Declared profiles require explicit mappings; missing mappings, mutable tags, unsupported declarations and failed prerequisites stop before the agent starts. Both `runtime.json` and `checks.json` record the selected profile and actual image IDs. They never record database connection strings.
+
+## Execution and isolation
+
+The trusted host probes the selected image without source or credential mounts. It checks Node 24, npm, Git, Chromium, OpenCode 2.1.0 and the exact .NET SDK patch where applicable. A missing tool or incompatible pinned version stops startup with the failed prerequisite named. PostgreSQL starts on a run-scoped bridge network with no published ports and an in-memory empty database. The host waits for readiness and checks its major version. Engine and validation containers receive `SOFA_TEST_DATABASE`, system Chromium paths and writable temporary .NET state. The database user can create and drop test schemas; it has access only to disposable test data.
+
+The agent and independent checks use different containers, networks and database credentials. Validation starts with an empty database, not the agent's changes. The host removes containers, anonymous volumes and networks after each phase. Validation has no provider authentication volume or GitHub credentials. Neither workload receives the host Docker socket. Public package downloads remain available; these bridge networks are not an egress firewall. This does not change the existing single-trusted-host security model.
+
+NuGet packages and .NET CLI state use writable temporary directories rather than the engine's read-only home. Each independent command has fresh temporary storage: combine restore and test in the consumer's verification command instead of assuming a prior command's NuGet cache survives.
+
+Cancellation first removes workload containers, then removes services. Forced host termination cannot guarantee cleanup: after confirming a run is stopped, the operator must remove its named `lighthouse-engine-<runId>-agent-postgres` and `lighthouse-engine-<runId>-validation-postgres` containers with `docker rm -f -v`, then their corresponding `-network` networks with `docker network rm`. Never prune unrelated resources. Cleanup failures are reported and prevent successful independent validation.
+
+See the source repository's `src/examples/opencode-engine/ENVIRONMENTS.md` for local build, host installation, update, rollback and clean consumer acceptance instructions. Registry publication and production deployment are not part of this profile.
+
+Implementation and independent validation each create a local Git repository containing one candidate snapshot commit, without remotes, checkout configuration or hooks. This supports Git-based working-tree checks without exposing the original checkout. It does not certify earlier commits; full-history security checks remain a separate repository CI responsibility.

+
+The only profile names are `plan`, `build` and `fast`. Models must be OpenAI provider-qualified identifiers without an embedded variant. Effort is independent: `none`, `minimal`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh` or `max`, but only values explicitly permitted for that model by the operator can run. The resolver rejects unknown configuration keys, providers, profile names, effort values and unsupported tier or transport fields. It never chooses an alternative on failure.
+
+## Operator opt-in and precedence
+
+Merge these fields into the existing operator engine configuration. Retain `image`, `implementationImage`, `uid`, `authVolume`, `lock` and the current `model`. Do not copy provider credentials into project files or evidence.
+
+```json
+{
+  "modelProfiles": {
+    "schemaVersion": 1,
+    "enabled": true,
+    "workers": { "review": "fast" },
+    "profiles": { "build": { "reasoningEffort": "high" } }
+  },
+  "modelCapabilities": {
+    "openai/verified-planning-model": { "available": true, "tools": true, "reasoningEfforts": ["high"] },
+    "openai/verified-building-model": { "available": true, "tools": true, "reasoningEfforts": ["medium", "high"] },
+    "openai/verified-lightweight-model": { "available": true, "tools": true, "reasoningEfforts": ["high"] }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Selection precedence, highest first:
+
+1. A delegated task's explicit profile; this still requires operator opt-in and capability permission.
+2. Operator worker assignment.
+3. Project worker assignment.
+4. Operator default profile.
+5. Project default profile.
+
+For the selected profile, operator model and effort fields override project fields independently. An incomplete selected profile fails. The operator capability inventory must explicitly permit availability, tool use and the effort; absent or denied capability fails before startup. This inventory is an operator declaration, not proof of current provider access. Actual provider failures stop execution, with no fallback or processing-tier change.
+
+Without `modelProfiles.enabled: true`, ordinary workers forward the existing `model` byte-for-byte. Project declarations alone cannot replace it. Disabling profiles restores that route; delegated profile launches are rejected instead of falling back to a legacy model. Remove opt-in to roll back. Existing OpenCode 2.1.0 entrypoints already forward `--model`; the adapter supplies `provider/model#effort` in profile mode. Verify the selected variant and authentication on the actual runner before adoption.
+
+## Execution evidence
+
+`runtime.json` retains its `model` field and adds `modelExecution`: requested settings, resolved settings and field provenance, capability-evidence classification, provider-reported fields and billing fields. The current adapter has no authenticated provider-settings receipt, so provider model and reasoning remain `null` with `unverified` status. Its resolved variant is configuration-derived only. Do not relabel an engine argument as provider confirmation.
+
+Redacted OpenCode events retain any engine-exposed usage. Such token data is not necessarily account billing or subscription usage. Actual cost, API-equivalent estimates and subscription usage remain separate and unknown (`null`) unless independent evidence establishes them. An exit error or structured engine error fails the run, even if an envelope was produced.
+
+## Bounded delegation — host API
+
+Import `runDelegatedTasks` from `@juangcarmona/lighthouse-sdlc/profile-delegation`. A trusted host supplies `parent`, `controlPlane`, `project`, `operator`, `tasks`, `maxParallel`, `launch`, `verifyWave` and optionally an `AbortSignal`. No worker tool or workflow automatically enables delegation. The package schedules and validates; the existing host remains responsible for actual child execution and isolation.
+
+```js
+const report = await runDelegatedTasks({
+  parent, controlPlane, project, operator, maxParallel: 2,
+  tasks: [
+    { id: 'edit', specialist: 'editor', profile: 'fast', dependencies: [], affectedFiles: ['src/copy.md'], input: { instruction: 'Apply the approved copy edit.' } },
+    { id: 'review', specialist: 'reviewer', profile: 'plan', dependencies: ['edit'], affectedFiles: ['src/copy.md'], input: { instruction: 'Check the accepted edit.' } },
+  ],
+  launch: child => host.launch(child),
+  verifyWave: wave => host.verifyWave(wave),
+});
+```
+
+The example host callbacks are integration points, not included runtime services. Parent and child launches use the existing role contract: declared tools, output schema, allowed write scope, stop conditions and limits. Roles must be object contracts, not opaque provider strings. The existing role validator requires each child write-scope entry to appear explicitly in its specialist contract. The parent scope can be an exact file, directory prefix or `*`; affected files must be canonical relative files or trailing-slash directories. Globs, traversal, protected configuration and unknown scope syntax are rejected. Scope aliases and symlinks require host enforcement against actual changed files.
+
+Task IDs and specialists are lowercase names; every task declares a profile, dependencies and affected files. At most 100 tasks, 100 distinct affected paths per task, 64 KiB of JSON task context and 1–8 simultaneous launches are accepted. Host `maxParallel` is authoritative. Parent limits require integer `timeoutSeconds` from 1–1800 and `maxAttempts: 1`; this first executor does not retry. Child limits can only tighten the deadline and retain one attempt. Other host limits, such as token budgets, are inherited unchanged and remain the host’s responsibility to enforce. Each child receives a unique run ID, parent identity, cloned task-only input, permitted tools and the resolved model argument. The host must construct fresh model context, enforce scope and tools, kill child execution on abort and retain its own evidence. The scheduler does not expand model permissions or publish results.
+
+All profiles, launch contracts and the entire dependency graph are preflighted before any launch. Stable waves contain only verified-dependency-ready tasks with disjoint scopes. A directory conflicts with its descendants. Launch and verification callbacks must return `{ status: 'passed', evidence: [...] }` with nonempty evidence. The host must validate child output against its output schema, check actual modified paths and run repository checks during wave verification. A failed launch or wave blocks dependants transitively; independent tasks can continue. A deadline or cancellation stops new waves and signals all callbacks. This scheduling report cannot approve a lifecycle gate or merge.
+
+## Repeatable candidate evaluation
+
+The issue's Sol High / Sol Medium / Luna High preset is a candidate only. No candidate identifiers or prices are installed as defaults. Compare Sol Medium with Terra on bounded implementation; evaluate Luna on selected lightweight tasks. Include GPT-5.6 when subscription terms make it relevant, rather than assuming API prices describe subscription economics. Astra is outside the default candidate set.
+
+Use the same immutable source revision, task inputs, harness/image versions, checks, context regime and processing mode for each candidate. Declare the bar before running: all required checks pass, scope remains bounded, intended task acceptance passes and a reviewer accepts the result without unrecorded corrections. Use at least these four cases:
+
+| Case | Fixed task | Acceptance |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Planning | Produce a dependency-ordered plan for a bounded resolver change | Required cases, scope and risks covered; no code changes |
+| Implementation | Add one resolver validation case and its regression test | Identical targeted and repository checks pass; no unrelated edits |
+| Review | Review a fixed fixture with a known precedence defect | Identify the seeded defect with a correct explanation and no false permission claim |
+| Lightweight edit | Apply a fixed documentation correction | Exact requested diff, links and Markdown checks pass |
+
+For every task/candidate record revision, exact prompt or fixture, model, effort, configured variant, provider-reported settings or unverified status, outcome, attempts/retries, human corrections, elapsed time, available usage and acceptance reviewer. Run two workers with distinct profiles and retain their runtime receipts. Keep deterministic routing/checks outside model usage.
+
+Record the account route as operator-confirmed subscription, API or unknown; do not inspect credentials or switch routes. For API evaluations record uncached input, cached input, applicable cache writes, output/reasoning as actually billed, context regime and processing tier. Avoid counting reasoning twice when it is included in billed output. Record dated rate sources and compute API-equivalent estimates separately from actual charges. For subscriptions report only exposed usage; unknown is neither free nor unlimited. Flex and Batch are different transports and neither is implemented here.
+
+Choose the least costly setting that meets the declared bar only when comparable accepted-task and account evidence supports that decision. Otherwise report selection as unresolved. This delivery supplies deterministic configuration and scheduling tests; it does not claim live candidate results or preset acceptance.

+# Request intake and relative estimates
+
+The public form requires the problem and desired result. Examples or context are optional. Do not ask a reporter for acceptance criteria, architecture, an estimate or a PR plan; refinement derives engineering criteria.
+
+## Admission and continuation
+
+With the native workflows installed and automation enabled, the owner applies `triage` or manually selects the triage stage to admit an open issue, including an external request. Opening an issue alone starts no agent. Only an owner reply can resume a pending clarification. Admission permits triage only; the result stops for the owner to decide whether to request refinement. An external request can continue when the owner requests the next stage and the host verifies its triage and refinement evidence. Admission never grants implementation or merge permission.
+
+Triage preserves the exact issue body in `output.requestAnalysis.originalRequest`, adds `problem` and `desiredResult`, records `inferences` as `{inference, source}`, lists `unknowns` separately and records `questions` as `{question, blocks}`. An empty questions array means no blocking question. Do not turn nonblocking details into mandatory questions. Cite repository evidence rather than presenting an inference as the requester's words.
+
+## Estimate contract
+
+`output.estimate` follows `schemas/estimate.schema.json`: numeric `points`, `status`, `rationale` with `scope`, `dependencies` and `verification`, `confidence` and a separate `uncertainty` array. Native triage uses `status: provisional`. Missing information that prevents a defensible estimate blocks triage; it does not justify an invented number. Uncertainty can remain when it does not block the outcome.
+
+| Points | Initial relative anchor |
+| --- | --- |
+| 1 | Localized familiar correction |
+| 2 | Small component behavior |
+| 3 | Bounded outcome across a few components |
+| 5 | Outcome crossing contracts with integration checks |
+| 8 | Broad cohesive outcome with several verification paths |
+| 13 | Work needing decomposition analysis |
+
+These owner-approved initial anchors consider scope, dependencies and verification or migration effort. They will be calibrated against the first few stories; they are not historically validated or time estimates. Confidence describes strength of evidence, not size. Never inflate points to encode uncertainty or convert S/M/L/XL into points.
+
+Refinement rechecks a supplied `context.triage`, returns `output.estimate`, and retains `output.estimateRevision.previous` plus a `reason` even if unchanged. Direct engineering entry without a triage record remains supported; it must not fabricate a predecessor. Decomposition and aggregate delivery are tracked separately in #146.
+
+## Upgrade and recovery
+
+Preview `node src/packages/sdlc/src/install-workflows.mjs <repository> <immutable-lighthouse-commit>` from the pinned Lighthouse source. The native triage worker is installed with refinement. Inspect the plan, provision the runner and gh-aw v0.93.2, then add `--apply`; use `--replace-reviewed` only after reviewing differing workflow sources. The installer preserves an existing `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/change-request.yml` and reports it instead of overwriting it. Add `triage` and `triaged` to the repository's declared labels through its normal reconciliation route. Enable automation only after reviewing the workflows and runner. To recover, disable automation and restore the previously reviewed package/workflow revision; issue bodies are never changed.

 # Implement
 
-Implement one planned slice at a time.
+Deliver the issue in one branch, including its OpenSpec plan.
 
 ## Steps
 
-1. Read the approved plan, slice boundary, allowed paths and Definition of Done.
-2. Start with the smallest failing deterministic check when the stack supports red-green development.
-3. Make the smallest change that turns the check green, then run the required unit, integration and applicable higher-level checks.
-4. Record changed paths, commands, results, evidence and any finding that needs a human decision.
-5. Return a stage result with `stage: implement`, `gate: done`, implementation evidence as output and separate `missingEvidence`, `unavailableChecks` and `pendingReview` arrays; stop at `done` when the Definition of Done is satisfied.
+1. Read the issue, owner answers, repository rules and acceptance criteria. If a required product decision is missing, ask one concrete question and stop.
+2. Read `/harness/skills/propose/SKILL.md` for planning and use the supplied OpenSpec instructions to create or update the proposal, specifications, design and tasks before changing production code. This is the planning part of implementation; return one final implementation envelope. Keep tasks coarse and dependency ordered. Reuse existing planning work where it still applies.
+3. Implement the tasks, with tests that exercise the changed behavior. Follow the repository's architecture and allowed write scope.
+4. Run the repository checks and capture the evidence needed to review the result. Mark only completed tasks as done.
+5. Write a short PR summary: what changed, how it was checked, and any blocker. Put logs, screenshots and the retrospective in the evidence output. Apply Humanizer when available; otherwise remove repetition and unexplained process jargon yourself.
+6. Return the implementation stage result and envelope. Keep missing evidence, failed checks and required decisions explicit. The host publishes the branch for review.
 
 ## Completion
 
-The slice has reviewable code and a valid `done` stage result for every required check, with no silent scope expansion or automatic transition to integration.
+The plan and code are ready to review together, with passing checks. Merge remains subject to repository policy and reviewer authorization.
