-- In 2–3 years, what should be _obviously different_?
-
-> **Optional:** Add a 3–5 line “story” of a user before vs after.

+## 4) What good looks like
 
 ### User-facing outcomes
 
-- **Time-to-success:** e.g., median time from install → first successful use
-- **Quality:** e.g., bug rate / support tickets per active user
-- **Trust:** e.g., SLO compliance, error rate, crash-free sessions
-
-### Developer / maintainer outcomes
+- Users can complete the core workflow with less time, confusion, or failure.
+- The most important behavior is observable and trustworthy.
+- Regressions in the core path are caught before they reach users.
 
-- **Change velocity:** PR cycle time, lead time to release
-- **Operational burden:** pages/alerts per week, toil hours
-- **Maintainability:** test coverage for critical paths, build time, flake rate

 ## 9) Guardrails and constraints
 
-### Guardrails (how we avoid harm / churn)
+### Guardrails
 
-- Prefer changes that are **reversible** or behind flags.
-- Default to **secure / safe** settings.
-- Optimize for the **common path**; support escape hatches for experts.
-- Avoid adding new dependencies unless they reduce net complexity.
-- Pay down operational toil before adding big surface area.
+- Prefer small, reversible changes with clear validation.
+- Protect the core user workflow before widening scope.
+- Do not hide validation failures or claim untested work is complete.
+- Avoid new dependencies unless they reduce net complexity.
 
-### Constraints (reality checks)

+### Agent validation policy
+
+- Agents must name the validation path before starting work.
+- If the expected validation cannot run, agents must surface that as a blocker.
+- User-facing or UI-affecting work should include an end-to-end or rendered-surface check when available.
 
-## 10) How decisions get made (governance-lite)
+### Risk policy
 
-- **Source of truth:** issues + RFCs + docs in `docs/`
-- **When we require an RFC:** breaking changes, new public APIs, major deps, new architecture
-- **Review expectations:** tests required for critical paths, docs for user-facing behavior
-- **Release cadence:** …
-- **What we won’t merge:** (examples)
-  - large rewrites without an incremental plan
-  - behavior changes without migration guidance
-  - features that expand scope beyond the non-goals
+- Core-path regressions are more serious than missing stretch features.
+- High-risk architecture or behavior changes require explicit maintainer review.
 
 ---
 
-## Appendix (optional but powerful)
+## 10) How decisions get made
 
-### A) Glossary
+- Source of truth: this `vision.md`, issues, and repo docs.
+- Prefer work that advances section 6 priorities and section 7 objectives.
+- Require tests or equivalent validation for critical-path changes.
+- Do not merge broad rewrites without an incremental plan and rollback path.
 
-- Term: definition…
+---
+
+## 11) Active repo autonomy loop
 
-### B) Personas (one-page each)
+- PushPals should compile section 6 priorities and section 7 objectives into small, ranked autonomous work items.
+- Every selected objective should include:
+  - Source signal: which priority/objective/guardrail triggered it.
+  - Weight: why it matters now.
+  - Scope: files or areas expected to change.
+  - Guardrail check: what the work must not break.
+  - Validation path: the command or manual check that proves the change.
+- PushPals should favor repo-native work over meta/autonomy work unless this repo's own vision makes meta/autonomy infrastructure a top priority.
+
+---
 
-- Persona, environment, constraints, success criteria…
+## 12) Testing criteria
 
-### C) Example “no” responses (template)
+This is the user-owned validation contract for autonomous work.
+Fill this section with the exact repo commands WorkerPals must run before submitting a PR or revision.
+PushPals treats command-like bullet items in this section as required validation and blocks publication when they fail.
 
-- “Thanks — this is valuable, but it conflicts with our non-goal X…”
-- “We’d reconsider if metric Y becomes a problem…”
+- Add repo-required test commands as separate bullet items after they exist in this repository.
+- Keep conditional or manual checks in section 9 unless they are mandatory for every WorkerPal PR or revision.
