 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [12.7.1] - 2026-02-16
+### Changed
+
+- Restructured execution procedure guidance to emphasize scope assessment and continuous tool-driven progress over planning-first approach
+- Updated task tracking instructions to prohibit metadata-only turns and require immediate completion marking of todo items
+- Clarified parallel execution guidance to distinguish between genuine parallelization and sequential work, with explicit criteria for Task tool usage
+- Modified output style requirements to mandate stating intent before tool calls and reordered style constraints for clarity
+- Reinforced requirement that every turn must include at least one tool call advancing the deliverable, with explicit failure condition for planning-only turns

 ### Task Tracking
-- Use `todo_write` proactively for non-trivial, multi-step work so progress stays visible.
-- Initialize todos before implementation for complex tasks, then keep them current while working.
-- Mark todo items complete immediately after finishing them; do not batch completion updates.
-- Keep todo items as focused logical units (one coherent outcome per item); split broad work into smaller items.
-- Keep exactly one item `in_progress` at a time and complete in order unless requirements change.
-- Skip `todo_write` for single trivial or purely informational requests.
+- Never create a todo list and then stop. A turn that contains only todo updates is a failed turn.
+- Use todos as you make progress to make multi-step progress visible, don't batch.
+- Skip entirely for single-step or trivial requests.
+{{/has}}
+
+{{#has tools "task"}}
+### Parallel Execution
+Use the Task tool when work genuinely forks into independent streams:
+- Editing 4+ files with no dependencies between edits
+- Investigating 2+ independent subsystems
+- Work that decomposes into pieces not needing each other's results
+
+Task tool is for **parallel execution**, not deferred execution. If you can do it now, do it now. Sequential is fine when steps depend on each other — don't parallelize for its own sake.
