 Apply these when authoring a plan, reviewing, folding a finding, or editing code — the layer read **before any code change**. (Full canon: the project's planning / workflow-methodology + orchestration canon. This section is rendered from that canon and refreshed on upgrade; a custom edit is preserved verbatim, but flagged.)
 - **Fold by code, not prose.** Before folding a code-touching finding into a plan or change, read the cited `file:line` and cite it — a prose fold drifts from the code and seeds the next bug.
 - **Right altitude.** Pin intent + invariants + acceptance criteria (named tests); leave fine code-mechanics to Execute, where prose cannot diverge from reality.
-- **No code-mechanics in the plan.** A Step still carries its exact paths + commands (the plan-structure / self-review canon) — checked syntax: the plan's own Verification runs them against an explicit expected outcome or gate; the only other syntax a plan may carry is a literal fixture/schema fragment a named test copies or validates. Un-run, logic-bearing syntax — control-flow, a regex, a glob, a grammar, an algorithm body, a mini-DSL — never lives in plan prose, however plausible or shell-verified it looks: a fold or draft that wants one is the trigger to write the test instead.

 - **Test-as-spec.** Fold a code-touching finding into a red→green TEST, not a prose paragraph — the gate is the only deterministic checker; a paragraph cannot self-check.
 - **Characterize-first.** Before editing UNCOVERED code, pin its current behavior in a green test, then edit — any unintended change goes red. Never edit what has no checker; first give it one. Keep edits atomic/reversible; prefer SUBTRACTIVE folds.
 - **Fold minimally — prose has no checker.** An ephemeral, gitignored plan is prose with no executable checker; fold **minimally, in ONE place** and run a **self-consistency** read across the plan before every re-review — a fold that drifts several prose spots is what turns a 2-round review into churn.
-- **Heavy review at the diff.** Plan-review settles architecture only (≤2 rounds, stop at the pre-existing→fold-induced crossover); the exhaustive per-Step review runs against real compiling code + the full suite, where a regression fails a gate immediately. **Backend divergence** (one backend grounded-ships while another keeps revising mechanics) IS that crossover — resolve at altitude, don't exhaust the strictest backend; route an all-mechanics/CI or prose-only artifact to a **thin plan + diff-review**.

 - **Convergence bar.** A review loop is CLEAN only when one round returns **0 blockers + 0 majors** from EVERY backend the recipe names (nits + a ship verdict is the stop). Folding ≠ convergence — re-review after folding.
 - **Per-round emission.** Every review round emits **{round N · finding-origin tally · per-backend verdict}** so the crossover is a computed, visible signal, not a remembered rule.
 - **Recipe fidelity.** Council runs every backend the recipe names, **every round**; silently dropping a ready backend for quota/convenience is a forbidden downgrade — an unavailable backend is a LOUD, stated degrade, never a quiet drop.

 - **Split (separate sessions)** when the *change* is large enough to deserve an isolated review checkpoint: creates/deletes a source or test file, touches several files, alters a dependency / core config / data model / routes, or needs new E2E tests. These are review-hygiene triggers, independent of context size.
 - **Run inline** for small, self-contained work: a few files, no new files, no dependency/schema/route change, light discussion (typos, tweaks, single-line fixes, test additions).
-- **Context size is a soft, secondary signal** — split only when the working context is genuinely large *relative to the window* or you notice degraded recall, never at a fixed token count. Prefer the planning skill's **session-continuity heuristic**: keep going in-session when the accumulated context IS the execution payload (targeted-deep reads of the exact files you'll edit); split when it was broad fan-out noise.
