A red run\n# at any of them halts at a human blocked gate (fix the failures and re-run,\n# exactly like the escalate states). `start-gate` needs no baseline-aware\n# second run any more — by the time it runs, `unwind` has already put the\n# tree back to the baseline, so ONE suite run there IS the baseline verdict.\n#\n# Once green, `design.triage` reads the diff that started the process (never\n# rendered into the prompt — it names the start commit and reads the range up\n# to the unwind commit itself) and groups it into an ORDERED list of\n# CONCERNS, each one leaving the suite green on its own, classifying each as\n# PRODUCT or TECHNICAL. It raises open questions for the product ones only,\n# and folds EVERYTHING the start diff added into the concerns — a scratch\n# sketch and a real hand-edit alike, since `unwind` already emptied the tree\n# of both; nothing is left to delete. `design.gate` is a shared check+answer\n# pair: its check probes `requirementsFile` for unanswered questions and only\n# rests the process at a human answer gate when some remain — a\n# question-free phase skips the human stop entirely.\n#\n# Once the product questions are settled, `architecture.author` picks up as a\n# COLD reader (a separate machine, a separate memory scope — it reads\n# `requirementsFile` in full rather than resuming design's conversation),\n# develops the *how* for each settled concern, and raises only TECHNICAL open\n# questions — routed through the same shared `questionGate` shape\n# (`architecture.gate`) over `architectureFile`. Once those are settled,\n# `architecture.decompose` is a purely mechanical write-out: one package file\n# per concern, in the settled order — no merge/split judgement, since that\n# already happened in triage's grouping.\n#\n# From there the per-package build queue (`packages.*`) and the shared review\n# + squash tail (`build.*`) are UNCHANGED from before this restructure — see\n# their own machine doc comments below for the per-package build/review/\n# health mechanics.\n#\n# A second entry, `gtd --entry review-gate.check`, jumps there directly and,\n# once green, to `build.review.reviewing` to review a foreign branch through\n# the same shared tail. A third, `gtd --entry fix-precheck`, jumps there: a\n# red suite drops straight into the shared `build.fix` loop and out through the\n# review + squash tail; a green suite is a no-op back to `idle`.

Build it from that start diff:\n\n          1. Group the diff into an ORDERED list of CONCERNS — each one a\n             coherent piece of work that can leave the test suite GREEN on\n             its own, in the order you'd want them built. If a concern would\n             red-light tests that a later concern is meant to fix, that is\n             not a valid split: merge the two into one concern.\n          2. Classify each concern as PRODUCT (a user-facing/requirements\n             decision) or TECHNICAL (an implementation decision).\n          3. For every PRODUCT concern with an open point you cannot settle\n             yourself, add a question under a `## Open Questions` heading near\n             the top: one `### <question>` sub-heading each, followed by a\n             checkbox list of candidate answers — aim for TWO concrete options\n             plus a final free-text slot, ALL left UNTICKED:\n\n                 ### <the question>\n\n                 - [ ] <first option — a concrete answer, a few words of rationale>\n                 - [ ] <second option>\n                 - [ ] _your answer_\n\n             Raise questions ONLY for product concerns here — a technical\n             concern's open points wait for the next phase. Never tick a box\n             yourself — the human ticks exactly one per question.\n          4. Fold EVERYTHING the entry commit added into the concerns above —\n             a scratch note and a real code edit are both just a SKETCH of\n             the intent, a spec to be finished, never work to be preserved;\n             `unwind` already reverted both out of the tree, so there is\n             nothing left to delete. Describe each piece under the concern it\n             belongs to.\n\n          On a RETURN lap the human has ticked one option per question (or\n          replaced `_your answer_` with their own text) in\n          `<%= it.vars.requirementsFile %>`. For each answered question: fold\n          the chosen answer into its concern's prose, then MOVE the question\n          down into a `## Answered Questions` section as `### <question>`\n          followed by the resolved answer in plain PROSE (drop the\n          checkboxes). Never re-raise a question the human deleted; if the\n          human deleted the whole `## Open Questions` section, treat every\n          product concern as accepted and surface no new questions unless\n          something is genuinely still blocking. Omit `## Open Questions`\n          entirely once there are none left.\n\n          Leave `<%= it.vars.requirementsFile %>` uncommitted and finish your\n          turn.\n        on:\n          \"* **\": gate.check\n\n      gate:\n        machine: questionGate\n        with:\n          file: <%= it.vars.requirementsFile %>\n          onNone: $onArchitecture\n          onRevise: triage\n          checkLabel: Checking for open questions\n          answerLabel: Awaiting your product answers\n          message: |\n            `<%= it.vars.requirementsFile %>` holds the concerns under\n            development.

Do not create other files to hold notes or output.\n\n          You do NOT resume the design conversation — this is a separate\n          machine with its own memory, a COLD read every time.

Treat every product decision recorded there —\n          plain prose or a resolved `## Answered Questions` entry — as\n          SETTLED; never re-open it.\n\n          On the FIRST lap, develop `<%= it.vars.architectureFile %>` from\n          those concerns: for each one, in the same order, work out the *how*\n          — file/module structure, data models, library/tech-stack choices,\n          error-handling strategy — building on the *what* already settled.\n          For every open TECHNICAL point you cannot settle yourself, add a\n          question under a `## Open Questions` heading exactly as the\n          requirements phase does: one `### <question>` each, followed by a\n          checkbox list — TWO concrete options plus a final free-text slot,\n          ALL left UNTICKED:\n\n              ### <the question>\n\n              - [ ] <first option>\n              - [ ] <second option>\n              - [ ] _your answer_\n\n          Never tick a box yourself. On a RETURN lap the human has ticked one\n          option per question (or replaced `_your answer_` with their own\n          text): fold each chosen answer into the plan prose, then MOVE the\n          question into a `## Answered Questions` section as `### <question>`\n          + the resolved answer in plain PROSE (drop the checkboxes). Never\n          re-raise a deleted question; treat a deleted `## Open Questions`\n          section as acceptance. Omit `## Open Questions` once there are none\n          left.\n\n          Once `<%= it.vars.architectureFile %>` is written, delete\n          `<%= it.vars.requirementsFile %>` — its content has been folded in\n          and it must not linger.

NOTES the human added to REVIEW.md — each note is a MANDATORY change,\n             regardless of whether its checkbox is ticked (ticking means only \"I read\n             this hunk\", never sign-off). Anchor each to the `./path#line` its review\n             item names (or the chunk it sits under). Emit it as a concrete\n             imperative.\n          2. Every COMMENT the human ADDED this round (a `+` line that is a code\n             comment, in the hand-edited files) is a MANDATORY instruction the human\n             is giving the builder — even a plain-prose one, even if its box is\n             ticked. Emit an imperative to satisfy it and note that the comment line\n             itself must be REMOVED once addressed. If a comment turns out to describe\n             behaviour the code already has, the instruction is still \"confirm the\n             code matches and remove the comment line\".\n          3. Every NON-comment code line the human hand-edited is an already-committed\n             INTENT, NOT a do-then-delete item. Emit an instruction that names those\n             files and says: their lines are final — complete ONLY the follow-through\n             they imply (callers, tests, types, docs) and NEVER revert or rewrite\n             them.

The\n# review tail sits between the two coder turns that most need continuity —\n# `build.addressing` (follows through on review feedback) and `build.squashing`\n# (drafts the finale from the range this process built) — so hoisting it back\n# to a root sibling would force both of those turns to re-derive the feature\n# from scratch on every pass through the tail, instead of resuming the session\n# that built it. The reviewer itself is unaffected either way: `build.review.*`\n# is its own scope regardless of where it's nested, so it never resumes the\n# builder's session.\n#\n# ── One flow: triage into concerns, then packages, then the shared tail ────\n#\n# ANY change to the tree starts the process — a hand-edit to real code, a\n# scratch note, anything at all — because it's a SKETCH, not finished work:\n# there is no fork on which steering file the human happened to create;\n# `idle` has exactly one outgoing edge, into `unwind`, which reverts that\n# whole diff back out of the working tree before planning starts (its intent\n# survives in history for `design.triage` to read; the squash finale means it\n# never reaches the final commit either way). `unwind` itself has exactly one\n# outgoing edge, into `start-gate`.\n#\n# EVERY entry gates on a green baseline before proceeding, and all three now\n# keep the exact same plain rule: block on any red tree, full stop. A red run\n# at any of them halts at a human blocked gate (fix the failures and re-run,\n# exactly like the escalate states). `start-gate` needs no baseline-aware\n# second run any more — by the time it runs, `unwind` has already put the\n# tree back to the baseline, so ONE suite run there IS the baseline verdict.\n#\n# Once green, `design.triage` reads the diff that started the process (never\n# rendered into the prompt — it names the start commit and reads the range up\n# to the unwind commit itself) and groups it into an ORDERED list of\n# CONCERNS, each one leaving the suite green on its own, classifying each as\n# PRODUCT or TECHNICAL. It raises open questions for the product ones only,\n# and folds EVERYTHING the start diff added into the concerns — a scratch\n# sketch and a real hand-edit alike, since `unwind` already emptied the tree\n# of both; nothing is left to delete. `design.gate` is a shared check+answer\n# pair: its check probes `requirementsFile` for unanswered questions and only\n# rests the process at a human answer gate when some remain — a\n# question-free phase skips the human stop entirely.\n#\n# Once the product questions are settled, `architecture.author` picks up as a\n# COLD reader (a separate machine, a separate memory scope — it reads\n# `requirementsFile` in full rather than resuming design's conversation),\n# develops the *how* for each settled concern, and raises only TECHNICAL open\n# questions — routed through the same shared `questionGate` shape\n# (`architecture.gate`) over `architectureFile`. Once those are settled,\n# `architecture.decompose` is a purely mechanical write-out: one package file\n# per concern, in the settled order — no merge/split judgement, since that\n# already happened in triage's grouping.\n#\n# From there the per-package build queue (`packages.*`) and the shared review\n# + squash tail (`build.*`) are UNCHANGED from before this restructure — see\n# their own machine doc comments below for the per-package build/review/\n# health mechanics.\n#\n# A second entry, `gtd --entry review-gate.check`, jumps there directly and,\n# once green, to `build.review.reviewing` to review a foreign branch through\n# the same shared tail. A third, `gtd --entry fix-precheck`, jumps there: a\n# red suite drops straight into the shared `build.fix` loop and out through the\n# review + squash tail; a green suite is a no-op back to `idle`. Both states\n# declare `entry: true` — otherwise unreachable from `entries.default`.\n#\n# All entries converge at `build.review.reviewing` -> `build.review.await-review`.\n# Ticking a REVIEW.md box means only \"I reviewed this hunk\"; a COMMENT (not an\n# unticked box) is what asks for changes. Every human step at\n# `build.review.await-review` goes to `build.review.deciding`, which inspects\n# the step and routes:\n#   * no comment (every box ticked, no REVIEW.md note, no code edit) -> the diff\n#     is a bare REVIEW.md deletion -> build.squashing -> done (the ONLY path\n#     to the finale — the whole process collapses into one commit).\n#   * any comment — a note in REVIEW.md OR a hand-edit to code — ->\n#     build.review.deciding writes REVIEW_FEEDBACK.md -> build.review.collecting\n#     implements it (completing any code the human hand-edited, never\n#     reverting their lines) -> build.addressing (a coder action, not a\n#     reviewer one — see \"Why humanReview is nested\" above) -> back through\n#     `build.health.check` (the shared health pair, bound via the\n#     `$onFeedback`/local `review` reference) -> build.review.reviewing\n#     regenerates an INCREMENTAL REVIEW.md (build.review.deciding carries\n#     `reviewBase: true`, so each feedback round's review + checkout window\n#     covers only `last-review..HEAD`, i.e. the agent's follow-through, not the\n#     human's own edit) -> await-review, looping until sign-off.\n# Two dead ends never commit: the review-signoff guard (src/StepGuards.ts)\n# REFUSES a step that leaves a box unticked with no comment (finish reviewing\n# first) and a deleted REVIEW.md (restore it and tick the boxes).\n#\n# The shared health pair (`build.health.check`/`.escalate`, plus its own\n# `build.fix`) serves the feedback loop — its green edge targets\n# `build.review.reviewing`.

Despite living beside this workflow's own\n          state files, it is the HUMAN'S INPUT — the sketch to be folded into\n          the concerns below like any other part of the start diff. It is\n          never a state file to preserve, and never gtd bookkeeping to ignore.\n\n          This process started at commit `<%= it.startCommit %>`. The change\n          that started it was reverted out of the working tree by the\n          `unwind` beat right after it landed, so `git diff <%= it.startCommit %>`\n          (against the working tree) is now empty — its content survives only\n          in history. Find the entry commit yourself: run\n          `git rev-list --ancestry-path <%= it.startCommit %>..HEAD | tail -1`\n          (the process's very first turn, landed immediately after\n          `<%= it.startCommit %>`, before any later baseline-repair commits) —\n          then `git show` that commit to see everything that started this\n          process: a hand-edit to real code, a scratch note in some file, or\n          both.\n\n          On the FIRST lap, `<%= it.vars.requirementsFile %>` does not exist\n          yet (or holds whatever the human's own change happened to leave\n          there). Build it from that start diff:\n\n          1. Group the diff into an ORDERED list of CONCERNS — each one a\n             coherent piece of work that can leave the test suite GREEN on\n             its own, in the order you'd want them built. If a concern would\n             red-light tests that a later concern is meant to fix, that is\n             not a valid split: merge the two into one concern.\n          2. Classify each concern as PRODUCT (a user-facing/requirements\n             decision) or TECHNICAL (an implementation decision).\n          3. For every PRODUCT concern with an open point you cannot settle\n             yourself, add a question under a `## Open Questions` heading near\n             the top: one `### <question>` sub-heading each, followed by a\n             checkbox list of candidate answers — aim for TWO concrete options\n             plus a final free-text slot, ALL left UNTICKED:\n\n                 ### <the question>\n\n                 - [ ] <first option — a concrete answer, a few words of rationale>\n                 - [ ] <second option>\n                 - [ ] _your answer_\n\n             Raise questions ONLY for product concerns here — a technical\n             concern's open points wait for the next phase. Never tick a box\n             yourself — the human ticks exactly one per question.\n          4. Fold EVERYTHING the entry commit added into the concerns above —\n             a scratch note and a real code edit are both just a SKETCH of\n             the intent, a spec to be finished, never work to be preserved;\n             `unwind` already reverted both out of the tree, so there is\n             nothing left to delete. Describe each piece under the concern it\n             belongs to.\n\n          On a RETURN lap the human has ticked one option per question (or\n          replaced `_your answer_` with their own text) in\n          `<%= it.vars.requirementsFile %>`. For each answered question: fold\n          the chosen answer into its concern's prose, then MOVE the question\n          down into a `## Answered Questions` section as `### <question>`\n          followed by the resolved answer in plain PROSE (drop the\n          checkboxes). Never re-raise a question the human deleted; if the\n          human deleted the whole `## Open Questions` section, treat every\n          product concern as accepted and surface no new questions unless\n          something is genuinely still blocking.

Never\n          re-raise a deleted question; treat a deleted `## Open Questions`\n          section as acceptance. Omit `## Open Questions` once there are none\n          left.\n\n          Once `<%= it.vars.architectureFile %>` is written, delete\n          `<%= it.vars.requirementsFile %>` — its content has been folded in\n          and it must not linger.

NOTES the human added to REVIEW.md — each note is a MANDATORY change,\n             regardless of whether its checkbox is ticked (ticking means only \"I read\n             this hunk\", never sign-off). Anchor each to the `./path#line` its review\n             item names (or the chunk it sits under). Emit it as a concrete\n             imperative.\n          2. Every COMMENT the human ADDED this round (a `+` line that is a code\n             comment, in the hand-edited files) is a MANDATORY instruction the human\n             is giving the builder — even a plain-prose one, even if its box is\n             ticked. Emit an imperative to satisfy it and note that the comment line\n             itself must be REMOVED once addressed. If a comment turns out to describe\n             behaviour the code already has, the instruction is still \"confirm the\n             code matches and remove the comment line\".\n          3. Every NON-comment code line the human hand-edited is an already-committed\n             INTENT, NOT a do-then-delete item. Emit an instruction that names those\n             files and says: their lines are final — complete ONLY the follow-through\n             they imply (callers, tests, types, docs) and NEVER revert or rewrite\n             them.
