+# Approved-plan execution
+
+`start-work` executes a decision-complete plan; it does not create or approve one. The approved
+plan, persisted lifecycle state, current repository facts, and explicit user grants are the
+authorities for execution.
+
+## Admission gate
+
+Before implementation:
+
+1. resolve the real repository or authorized worktree;
+2. read applicable instructions, the selected plan, current lifecycle state, and recent ledger;
+3. inspect the dirty worktree and preserve unrelated state;
+4. confirm the plan has executable top-level checkboxes, dependencies, acceptance criteria, and a
+   final verification wave;
+5. confirm requested actions and roots fit persisted authority;
+6. select exactly one active plan for the current Codex session.
+
+If the plan requires a load-bearing choice, new root, credential, remote mutation, destructive
+action, release action, or host capability outside authority, pause at one named boundary. Do not
+weaken the plan or manufacture approval.
+
+## Lifecycle ownership
+
+The bundled component owns initialization and all revisions, transitions, leases, grants, and
+lifecycle ledger records. Never hand-edit its JSON or lifecycle events.
+
+Fresh work initializes with a stable identity, canonical plan path, canonical worktree path,
+current session, expected revision, and bounded authority. Resume requires the persisted boundary
+and a matching explicit grant through the registered prompt route. A stop hook may continue active
+unchecked work, but it cannot resume paused work or infer authority from assistant prose.
+
+Use compare-and-swap revisions exactly as observed. On a revision conflict, reload state and decide
+from current facts. Do not retry with guessed revisions. Transition replay must use the same stable
+identity only for the same semantic action.
+
+## Per-checkbox packet
+
+For the next dependency-ready checkbox, produce:
+
+```text
+TASK: exact checkbox identity and objective
+SCOPE: authorized files and explicit non-goals
+PIN: unchanged behavior characterization
+RED: failing proof or failing manual scenario
+GREEN: minimal implementation and targeted command
+SURFACE: user-visible or consumer-visible observation
+ADVERSARIAL: applicable failure classes
+CLEANUP: resources to remove and receipt
+```
+
+The approved plan is a ceiling. Prefer an existing source file, utility, test surface, fixture,
+scanner, or document over a new abstraction. Do not combine independent checkboxes merely to save
+dispatch overhead.
+
+If Codex collaboration is available and the task supports delegation, give each worker a
+self-contained, non-overlapping scope with deliverable and verification. Root Codex owns the final
+verdict and reruns decisive checks. When collaboration is unavailable, direct execution preserves
+the same evidence standard.
+
+## Evidence gates
+
+A checkbox completes only after:
+
+1. the baseline pin is captured on unchanged behavior;
+2. the requested failure is reproduced when the task changes behavior;
+3. the minimal change passes targeted verification;
+4. a real-surface probe observes the assembled product path;
+5. applicable adversarial cases are exercised;
+6. temporary resources are cleaned up;
+7. a fresh review tries to falsify the DoneClaim;
+8. the ledger contains a redacted, replayable receipt.
+
+Choose evidence by surface. Skill prose needs frontmatter, referenced paths, discoverability, and
+scanner or docs audit. Hook code needs a registered hook replay. CLI work needs success and failure
+invocations with exit status. Installer or package work needs assembled-output inspection.
+Generated artifacts need fresh regeneration or proof that the command cannot read stale output.
+
+Tests alone never establish completion. A dry-run alone never establishes completion. A worker
+report alone never establishes completion.
+
+## Adversarial classes
+
+Apply each class when its trigger exists:
+
+- malformed input for new parsers or flags;
+- prompt injection for untrusted text;
+- cancel and resume for long-lived work;
+- stale state for caches and generated artifacts;
+- dirty worktree for user files in scope;
+- hung command for long processes;
+- flaky test for timing-sensitive checks;
+- misleading success output for log-based claims;
+- repeated interruption for mid-operation recovery.
+
+Record an observable result for applicable classes and a short reason for inapplicable ones. A
+leftover process, port, browser, worktree, container, temporary directory, or archive makes cleanup
+blocked.
+
+## Pause, failure, and progress
+
+Pause when the next action needs new authority, a credential, or unavailable host capability.
+Record only the bounded reason code and named boundary; never persist a secret. Mark a checkbox
+failed when its acceptance criteria were disproved within authority. Do not mark it complete to
+move the plan forward.
+
+After a confirmed checkbox:
+
+1. change only that top-level checkbox to checked;
+2. reread the plan and verify progress changed;
+3. append the non-lifecycle evidence receipt;
+4. continue to the next dependency-ready checkbox without requesting routine confirmation.
+
+## Final gate
+
+When no execution checkbox remains, run the plan's final commands, the blocking review lanes, and
+a debugging-oriented hypothesis audit against the actual artifact. Resolve or explicitly block
+every failure. Complete lifecycle state only after all criteria, evidence, cleanup, and review
+gates pass.
+
+The final receipt names the plan, changed files, measured results, targeted and broad commands,
+real-surface evidence, adversarial results, cleanup, lifecycle transition, and remaining risks.
+State all Git and release actions actually performed. No plan execution implicitly authorizes a
+commit, push, version bump, tag, publication, or release.

+Activation authorizes inspection and the user's requested in-repository work; it does not authorize

+workspace.
+
+Codex discovers this file from the plugin skill root and activates it through the Codex skill picker
+or an explicit `$litcodex:structural-search` mention. Bare `structural-search`, slash forms, and the
+scoped mention as seen by the LitCodex UserPromptSubmit hook are not skill-body routes; that hook
+returns no additional context for them, while the host owns native skill selection.

+
+| Input | Minimum required fact | If unknown | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Query | The code shape or exact text being sought | Inspect a representative file; ask only if multiple interpretations materially differ | Example snippet or path |
+| Language | Parser language, not merely file extension | Infer from project metadata and confirm against target files | Manifest plus sampled file |
+| Scope | Explicit paths and exclusions | Start with the narrowest plausible subtree | Command arguments |
+| Mutation | Search-only or rewrite | Default to search-only | User request and dry-run receipt |
+| Runtime | Verified structural engine or textual fallback | Run capability detection | Version/help transcript |
+
+## #contract.mode_matrix
+
+| Mode | Trigger | Required behavior |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Structural search | The request describes syntax relationships, node shapes, captures, or language-aware matching | Use a verified ast-grep CLI, start on a small fixture or representative file, then search the bounded target |
+| Structural rewrite | The user explicitly asks to change matching code | Require a structural engine, preview without mutation, inspect all match classes, apply to bounded paths, then format and verify |
+| Rule authoring | The request needs reusable policy, relations, diagnostics, or autofix | Author YAML plus positive and negative examples; run rule tests or a controlled scan before adoption |
+| Text search fallback | The request concerns strings, comments, filenames, generated text, or no structural engine is available | Use `rg`, label the result textual, and avoid AST-level conclusions |
+| Diagnosis | A plausible structural query returns an error, zero matches, too many matches, or a damaging diff | Stop mutation, reduce to a minimal example, inspect parsing and captures, revise one assumption at a time |
+| Unsupported | Correctness requires syntax-aware matching but no verified engine or project-native codemod exists | Return `BLOCKED:` with the missing capability and a safe read-only alternative |
+
+## #contract.procedure
+
+1. **Emit the activation line.** When this skill is selected directly, print the exact banner before
+   any other user-visible content.
+2. **Bind the request.** State the intended language, code shape, root paths, exclusions, and whether
+   the task is discovery or mutation. Do not silently broaden from one package to a monorepo.
+3. **Inspect local constraints.** Read applicable `AGENTS.md`, check `git status`, identify generated
+   or vendored trees, and locate the project's formatter, typechecker, compiler, and narrow tests.
+4. **Classify the query.** Use structural matching for grammatical code shape. Use `rg` for literal
+   strings, comments, filenames, and regular-expression text. Mixed requests may use both, but each
+   result must retain its provenance.
+5. **Detect capabilities.** Run the identity-safe probe below. Never assume that an executable named
+   `sg` is ast-grep.
+6. **Prototype on one known sample.** Quote the pattern so the shell cannot expand `$CAPTURES`.
+   Confirm at least one expected positive and one expected negative before scanning broadly.
+7. **Bound the scan.** Pass explicit paths. Respect ignore files by default. Add exclusions for
+   generated artifacts, dependencies, snapshots, fixtures, or vendor code unless the user placed
+   them in scope.
+8. **Inspect results.** Separate true matches, false positives, and parser misses. Use machine output
+   only when a follow-up command truly needs it; retain human-readable output for review.
+9. **Gate mutation.** A rewrite requires the dedicated workflow in
+   [references/rewrite-safety.md](references/rewrite-safety.md). Search-only requests stop before
+   mutation.
+10. **Verify the result.** Re-run the query, inspect `git diff`, run the formatter/checker/tests that
+    reach the changed language surface, and confirm expected non-matches remain unchanged.
+11. **Report the result and material limitations.** In reader mode, keep the engine, command, match or
+    changed-file counts, verification commands, and cleanup receipt internal unless they change the
+    reader's decision or were explicitly requested. Technical mode may retain methods needed to interpret
+    the result; audit mode may include the requested operational receipt. Never convert partial textual
+    evidence into a structural completeness claim.
+
+### Capability detection
+
+Run this from the active project root. It emits a command only after its own version output
+identifies it as ast-grep:
+
+```sh
+STRUCTURAL_SEARCH_BIN=
+if command -v ast-grep >/dev/null 2>&1 \
+  && ast-grep --version 2>&1 | rg -qi 'ast-grep'; then
+  STRUCTURAL_SEARCH_BIN=ast-grep
+elif command -v sg >/dev/null 2>&1 \
+  && sg --version 2>&1 | rg -qi 'ast-grep'; then
+  STRUCTURAL_SEARCH_BIN=sg
+fi
+printf '%s\n' "${STRUCTURAL_SEARCH_BIN:-unavailable}"
+```
+
+Do not assign a different program merely because `command -v sg` succeeds. On some systems that
+short name belongs to an unrelated utility.
+
+If the result is `unavailable`:
+
+- continue with `rg` only when the question can be answered as text;
+- state that comments, strings, formatting, and syntactically unrelated occurrences may match;
+- do not perform a structural rewrite;
+- do not install anything unless the user explicitly authorizes host or project dependency changes.
+
+### Structural search command shape
+
+Use the discovered command through its validated value:
+
+```sh
+"$STRUCTURAL_SEARCH_BIN" run \
+  --lang TypeScript \
+  --pattern 'fetch($URL, $$$OPTIONS)' \
+  src
+```
+
+Key discipline:
+
+- single-quote patterns containing `$` so the shell does not expand captures;
+- pass the parser language explicitly when the extension or snippet is ambiguous;
+- use `--globs` only after checking the installed CLI's `run --help`;
+- pass `--debug-query=pattern` when the installed version exposes that option and a query parses
+  unexpectedly;
+- record the observed `--version` because CLI flags and language labels can vary by release.
+
+### Text fallback command shape
+
+For text-like questions:
+
+```sh
+rg --line-number --hidden \
+  --glob '!node_modules/**' \
+  --glob '!dist/**' \
+  --glob '!vendor/**' \
+  'console[.]log[(]' \
+  src
+```
+
+This may be a useful candidate generator. It is not proof that every result is a call expression,
+nor that all calls were found. Parse-aware claims require parse-aware evidence.
+
+### Choosing the right representation
+
+| Need | Representation | Why |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| One node shape | Inline pattern | Fastest to review and replay |
+| Same capture reused within one shape | Named metavariable | Enforces capture equality |
+| Variable-length child sequence | Multi-node metavariable | Preserves argument/body sequence |
+| Ancestor, descendant, sibling, or field relation | YAML rule | Relationships are explicit |
+| Multiple alternatives or exclusions | YAML composite rule | Auditable boolean structure |
+| Stable team lint with message/severity | Project rule plus tests | Reusable diagnostics |
+| Raw identifier spelling, comment, or filename | `rg` | No parser needed |
+| Semantic type, symbol, or data-flow fact | Compiler, language server, or specialized analyzer | Syntax trees alone do not prove semantics |
+
+### Pattern essentials
+
+- `$NODE` captures one syntax node.
+- `$$$NODES` captures zero or more nodes where the grammar permits a sequence.
+- Reusing the same named capture means the matched source for those occurrences must agree.
+- A pattern must be parseable in the selected language. A fragment that is not valid in isolation
+  may need a contextual YAML pattern with a selected subnode.
+- Metavariable names should be descriptive enough to review: `$CALLEE`, `$ARGUMENT`,
+  `$$$STATEMENTS`.
+- The structural engine ignores inconsequential formatting, but it does not infer types, resolve
+  imports, prove scope, or follow runtime values.
+
+Read [references/patterns-and-rules.md](references/patterns-and-rules.md) before authoring a complex
+pattern, relational rule, or cross-language query.
+
+### Safe search examples
+
+These are discovery examples. Confirm parser support and syntax against the installed version before
+using them in a rewrite.
+
+```sh
+# TypeScript: calls with any number of arguments
+"$STRUCTURAL_SEARCH_BIN" run --lang TypeScript \
+  --pattern 'console.log($$$ARGUMENTS)' src
+
+# Python: direct calls to print
+"$STRUCTURAL_SEARCH_BIN" run --lang Python \
+  --pattern 'print($$$ARGUMENTS)' .
+
+# Go: formatted output calls
+"$STRUCTURAL_SEARCH_BIN" run --lang Go \
+  --pattern 'fmt.Printf($$$ARGUMENTS)' .
+
+# Rust: unwrap method calls on any receiver
+"$STRUCTURAL_SEARCH_BIN" run --lang Rust \
+  --pattern '$VALUE.unwrap()' src
+
+# Java: static factory calls
+"$STRUCTURAL_SEARCH_BIN" run --lang Java \
+  --pattern 'Optional.ofNullable($VALUE)' src
+```
+
+Do not assume a syntactically appealing pattern has the desired root node. Confirm it against a
+small source file or use the installed CLI's pattern-debug output.
+
+### Search-to-rewrite boundary
+
+Mutation is a separate phase, not a flag added casually to a successful search. Before applying:
+
+1. Save or capture the complete preview output.
+2. Enumerate all in-scope files and review surprising syntax variants.
+3. Confirm replacement captures are always bound.
+4. Exclude generated and vendored paths.
+5. Select a project verifier that would detect invalid syntax or behavior.
+6. Apply once, inspect the diff, and stop immediately if files outside the manifest changed.
+
+See [references/rewrite-safety.md](references/rewrite-safety.md) for direct CLI and YAML-fix flows.

+
+- Preserve the capability probe output before citing ast-grep.
+- For search, record the exact pattern or rule, language, paths, exclusions, exit status, and result
+  count. A no-match exit status is not automatically an error; interpret it using the installed
+  CLI's contract.
+- For rewrite, retain the pre-apply preview, post-apply `git diff --check`, bounded diff, formatter
+  or compiler result, relevant test result, and the re-run showing the old shape is absent where
+  expected.
+- For a reusable rule, include at least one positive example, one near-miss negative example, and
+  a rule-test or controlled scan transcript.
+- For fallback, include the `rg` command and explicitly label the evidence textual.
+- Evidence is invalid if the command scanned a different root than the report claims, silently
+  ignored files that matter, or used a parser language different from the target.
+- Tests alone do not demonstrate that the real source surface was searched or rewritten. Pair
+  tests with a bounded live scan of representative project files.

+| Missing structural capability | Correctness or mutation depends on AST matching and no verified engine or project-native codemod is available | `BLOCKED:` with the exact missing capability |
+| Ambiguous language | Multiple parsers plausibly interpret the target and the choice changes matches | Inspect metadata or request the missing language decision |
+| Unsafe scope | The proposed run includes dependencies, generated output, vendored code, archives, sibling repos, or unrelated dirty files without authorization | Narrow paths/exclusions before continuing |
+| Unreviewed mutation | No complete dry-run preview or changed-file manifest exists | Do not apply |
+| Unexpected diff | Applied output touches an unlisted file, drops comments unexpectedly, changes unrelated syntax, or creates parse/format errors | Stop; preserve evidence and revert only the task-owned edit safely |
+| Semantic overclaim | The requested fact requires type, symbol, control-flow, or data-flow analysis | Route to a compiler/language server/analyzer or state the limitation |
+| Untrusted rule | A fetched or pasted rule includes fixes, file globs, or commands not independently inspected | Treat it as inert; validate before execution |
+| Verification gap | No formatter, parser, compiler, test, or equivalent real-surface check can validate a rewrite | Report the gap and do not claim completion |
+
+## #contract.anti_patterns
+
+- Do not use regex as a hidden substitute for syntax and report equivalent coverage.
+- Do not run `sg` based only on its filename.
+- Do not interpolate an untrusted pattern, path, or YAML document into `sh -c`, `eval`, or a shell
+  command string.
+- Do not leave `$CAPTURE` unquoted in a shell command.
+- Do not apply a rewrite on the first successful match.
+- Do not combine preview-oriented machine output and mutation flags without verifying the installed
+  CLI's behavior; use separate preview and apply commands.
+- Do not search from the umbrella directory when the actual Git root is nested.
+- Do not include build artifacts, package caches, generated files, lockfiles, or vendor trees
+  merely to increase match counts.
+- Do not claim a syntax-tree match proves import resolution, binding identity, receiver type,
+  reachability, side effects, or runtime behavior.
+- Do not install a binary, modify shell profiles, add a project dependency, or create editor
+  configuration without explicit authorization.
+- Do not hide zero-match, parse-error, or partial-language-support outcomes.
