 ## Two deliverables (separate homes — mixing them puts one-shot content where the next batch overwrites it)
-1. **The batch task**: this batch's covered requirement entries / entries explicitly NOT in this batch / affected files / acceptance criteria → **batch record §2** (an append — §1 belongs to the main agent and stays as written).
+1. **The batch task**: this batch's covered requirement entries / entries explicitly NOT in this batch / affected files / acceptance criteria → **batch record §2** (an append, or an in-place edit — §1 belongs to the main agent and stays as written).
    **Not written into the design doc**: one-shot content mixed into a long-term doc would be overwritten by the next batch.
    **§2 cites rather than transcribes**: a criterion or count in §2 points at its owning section (`design §N.M` / `requirements §N.M`).
    Why: the design doc is the live side, and a number copied into §2 freezes at the copying moment — the next design change leaves §2 wrong while the implementation follows the design, and closeout fails correct work by a stale criterion.
    Where a literal has to appear (an acceptance equality assertion), it appears only as that section's value with the citation beside it.
    **§2 is yours to write**: you write only §2; subagents self-write, and a parent paraphrase is a second-hand copy that drifts from what the subagent actually recorded.
-   Write means = the `batch` tool, `batch({action:"append", segment, text})` (**no path parameter** — the target doc is bound at your spawn, the segment number is determined by your identity: eng-designer → §2); write fails (refused/failed) → the report states "§2 not written".

 2. **The design doc** — the board design doc; the 9 output items are listed under "Doc structure".
 - **Unassigned work belongs to another round**: the dispatch already scoped this round's task surface, so similar-but-unassigned work (especially "machine-check line folding / count corrections / closure statements" — already done in prior rounds) collides with that other round when taken up here.
