+# Autoresearch family contract
+
+The picker-visible wrapper owns family guidance. After approval, work is handed to native
+`start-work` and `lit-loop`; this package does not define, inspect, or extend their internal state.
+Every family artifact/status is `REVIEW_REQUIRED`, and the package cannot programmatically claim
+family completion. Changed evaluator or budget requires re-planning and review.
+
+## Installed root and helpers
+
+Resolve `<loaded-autoresearch-skill-dir>` as the canonical absolute directory containing the loaded
+autoresearch `SKILL.md`. This value comes from the skill file Codex actually loaded, not `CODEX_HOME`,
+an ambient checkout, or a pre-existing environment variable. Confirm that the loaded `SKILL.md` and
+the selected helper are regular files beneath that directory.
+
+If absent, return `BLOCKED_INSTALLED_SKILL_ROOT_UNAVAILABLE`; do not guess another checkout.
+
+- `<loaded-autoresearch-skill-dir>/scripts/init_research.py` safely scaffolds approved files.
+- `<loaded-autoresearch-skill-dir>/scripts/style_presets.py --check` performs an actual optional matplotlib
+  import and returns `BLOCKED_OPTIONAL_MATPLOTLIB_UNAVAILABLE` on discovery/import failure.
+
+Scaffolding requires Python 3.8+ on a POSIX runtime with `os.O_DIRECTORY`, `os.O_NOFOLLOW`, required
+`dir_fd` operations, descriptor `listdir`, and no-follow hard-link support. Missing capability exits
+before mutation with `BLOCKED_UNSUPPORTED_PYTHON_POSIX_RUNTIME`.
+
+There is no continuation/status runner. The prior shell runners were removed because they could not
+honestly enter the native host workflow or establish authority.
+
+## Evaluator and artifacts
+
+Evaluator JSON uses higher-is-better score while retaining the domain metric. A changed evaluator or
+budget requires re-planning and review. One work iteration changes one hypothesis-sized variable,
+uses approved paths, and records replayable evidence. TSV, reports, plots, and labels such as target
+evidence or `BUDGET_EXHAUSTED` remain `REVIEW_REQUIRED`; they never prove completion.
+
+Plotting has an optional matplotlib requirement. Absence is a plot blocker, not permission to install.
+Preserve unrelated dirty files and prohibit release/live actions without separate approval.

+# Autoresearch core mode
+
+## Codex-native contract
+
+The LitCodex picker loads this guidance. After approval, hand work to native `start-work` and
+`lit-loop`; this family does not define or inspect host lifecycle state. Every artifact and status is
+`REVIEW_REQUIRED`, and the package cannot programmatically claim family completion. Changed evaluator
+or budget requires re-planning and review.
+
+Validate `max_iterations` and `noise_runs` as positive integers and `min_delta` as finite and
+nonnegative. Baseline is iteration zero and does not spend work budget, so
+`max_iterations=1 executes exactly one work iteration`. Each iteration states one hypothesis, changes
+only approved paths, uses the unchanged evaluator, records guards/evidence, and keeps only confirmed
+improvement. Use host-bounded command execution; no platform deadline utility is assumed.
+
+Negated prose is never a completion signal. Reports, TSV rows, PID files, target phrases, and plots
+are evidence only. `BUDGET_EXHAUSTED` is a distinct non-success report label. All outcomes remain
+`REVIEW_REQUIRED` for `review-work`.
+
+Optional plotting uses `<loaded-autoresearch-skill-dir>/scripts/style_presets.py --check`; on
+`BLOCKED_OPTIONAL_MATPLOTLIB_UNAVAILABLE`, continue without installing dependencies.
