 - **Knowledge entries are the priority** — stale entries mislead future agents more than stale docs
 - **Summaries must be accurate** — future sessions use summaries for BM25 search; if the summary says "3800 lines" when the file is 337, search relevance degrades
 - **Create entries for architectural changes** — any structural shift (new patterns, refactored modules, new directories) deserves a knowledge entry

-1. **Task selection:** Run `arcs diagram ready <slug> <planId>` to identify executable nodes (all dependencies `:::done`)

+4. **Post-repair re-check:** After repairs, re-run `arcs diagram ready <slug> <planId>` to confirm the diagram matches task reality
+5. **Scope changes:** For topology changes (task added/removed/dependency changed), report under SCOPE_CHANGE in your return — the orchestrator regenerates via `arcs diagram sort-metadata <slug> <planId> --json`
+6. **Ownership:** Never hand-edit `.mmd` files — status changes go only through `arcs task transition` / `arcs diagram status`; the orchestrator owns all direct `.mmd` writes.
