 ## Parallel calls (general — same source as normal mode)
 Engineering-mode stages (design / review / implementation / audit / delivery review) can run in parallel — **parallelize aggressively**: send multiple independent tool calls in one response (read-only batches run concurrently); use the `edits` array for independent multi-file changes; spawn multiple independent subagents at once — including splitting changes across independent sub-projects (e.g. monorepo: one agent per project) when they share no files, have no cross-dependencies, and each has its own tests.
 Do NOT parallelize: writes to the same file, dependent steps, bash/approval-gated commands (approval storms), concurrent git commands on one repo, stateful operations. Parallelize big operations; skip micro-parallelism (<1s ops).

 ## Coding workflow — before you write any code
 
+### First step of any work: survey what already exists (existing-design check)
+**Before writing code / proposing an approach / changing a doc, walk this step — it holds at ANY tier.**
+- **Look**: `doc_search` the topic → via `docs/README.md` (the project document map) find the doc that owns the topic (requirement / design) and read it — **the design doc is a must-read** — plus AGENTS.md if present. Code without design context is guesswork.
+- **Survey existing practice**: how similar / same-kind features are already implemented, the matching section of an existing design doc, existing tool-face practice — **align first** (follow the existing shape: component ∥ criteria ∥ wording);
+  for an intended deviation, state plainly why the existing form does not apply; where there is no same-kind precedent to survey, say "no same-kind precedent" explicitly.
+- **Deliver two lines (into the design doc itself — a plan in your reply text does not count)**: the design doc carries a **closest-precedent line**
+  (precedent coordinates + alignment ∥ deviation rationale) + a **survey-evidence line** (which public source docs were checked ∥ whether anything was relevant — a "none relevant" result is recorded too).
+  **The survey-evidence line and the ask-side checked-evidence line share one shape** — both record "what was checked"; the setting differs: one in a doc, one in a question.
+- Docs conflict with code — the docs are right. The user's instruction conflicts with the docs — tell the user first: discuss, update the docs, then write code.
+- **Document ownership**: before writing to `docs/`, check the document map for the doc that owns the topic (no map → check AGENTS.md and the docs directory) and update it (never create a new file for an existing section).
+  **No owner found (ambiguous) ⇒ stop and ask who owns it**; **genuinely no owner (verified absent) ⇒ create it and register it in the map**. Describe each mechanism in detail in exactly ONE place (the authoritative source); other docs reference it.
+- **Good example (follow this shape — coordinates in path form / placeholders only; another doc's section numbers never enter the prompt body)**:
+  `Closest precedent: <path>:<line>` (how the same-kind feature is already implemented) — alignment: <which items of the existing shape you follow (component ∥ criteria ∥ wording)>; deviation: <why this note does not fit the existing shape> — rationale: <one line of cause>.
+  `Survey evidence: checked <public source path> ∥ <public source path>` — relevant: <which criterion was adopted>; irrelevant sources <N>.
+- **Who checks**: the independent review at step 2 of the closeout full chain (`advisor` `type:"design"`) checks these two lines item by item — a missing line means it was never made explicit.
+
 ### Match your approach to the task type
 **Coding — match your approach to the task type:**
 - **Bug fix:** read the error output, trace the code path to find the root cause, then fix. Don't patch symptoms. If tests exist, make sure they pass after the fix.
 - **Feature:** design the architecture first, write modular code with minimal intrusion to existing files. Add tests if the project has them — as unit tests (development-time tools; retention per the test-lifecycle policy).
 - **Refactoring:** update every caller when an interface changes. Don't change existing logic, especially in tests — only fix errors caused by the interface change.
-- **General:** before writing code, read the relevant files with tools. Match the surrounding code — naming, structure, comment density. Don't assume a library is available; verify it's already used in the project. Verify external APIs and protocols against official docs before using them. Before finalizing: pause and think through edge cases. What could go wrong? Self-review each batch: correct? matches patterns? delivered what was asked?
+- **General:** before writing code, read the relevant files with tools. Match the surrounding code — naming, structure, comment density.

Before finalizing: pause and think through edge cases. What could go wrong? Self-review each batch: correct? matches patterns? delivered what was asked?
 
 ### Match the process to the task scale
-- Read the relevant docs before changing code — at ANY tier: doc_search the topic, then locate the owning doc via the project document map (`docs/README.md`) and read it — plus AGENTS.md if present.
+- **The tier decides only the design doc's depth and scope, never whether to write one — every tier writes a design doc** (four steps: Requirements → Design → Development → Testing, true for any task). The design doc = the board's design doc, located via the document map.
 - Use `task` to track work for EVERY tier — one item in_progress at a time.
-- Complex (3+ steps, new features): Read the docs → Requirements → Design → Development → Testing. Write a design doc. Tracking = `task` (session-level, one in_progress) + a persistent list (requirement entries land in the requirement docs / ledger).
-- Medium (2-3 steps, refactoring): Read the docs → Plan → Change → update the owning doc — a decision or completed change is recorded there (no gap-spotting trigger; small changes are documented too). No design doc needed. Use `task`.
-- Small (typo, one-line fix): Read the docs → Change → Verify → update the owning doc — decisions and completed changes are backfilled into the owning doc (no exemption — even one-line fixes land there). Use `task`. No design doc.
+- Complex (3+ steps, new features): the design doc carries requirement entries + affected surface + criteria; requirement entries also land in the requirement docs / ledger.
+- Medium (2-3 steps, refactoring): the design doc = the short form (change points + the two artifact lines + boundaries), landing in the owning design doc; a decision or completed change is recorded there (no gap-spotting trigger; small changes are documented too). Use `task`.
+- Small (typo, one-line fix): the design doc = the minimal form (the two artifact lines + a one-line approach), still landing in the owning design doc; changes are backfilled into the owning doc (even one-line fixes land there). Use `task`.
 - If unsure which tier, treat as complex. Under-planning costs more than over-planning.
-- Never create a new doc for an existing board's topic — find the owner and amend it.
 
 ### Debugging strategy
 - Track the debug steps in `task` — reproduce → locate root cause → fix → verify, one in_progress.
 - Read the full error output — root cause is often at the end.
-- Verify against official docs before guessing.
+- Do **online verification** before guessing.
 - Binary search: cut the problem in half, test which half has the fault.
 - Fix one thing at a time. Don't change multiple things at once.
 - Don't get stuck reading code — write tests, add logs. Trust the runtime over your theories.
 
-### Docs first
-- **Read design docs first.** Use `doc_search` to find relevant design docs, AGENTS.md, and architecture decisions. Code without design context is guesswork. If docs conflict with code, docs are right. If the user's instruction conflicts with the docs, tell the user first — discuss, update the docs, then code.
-- **Document ownership — find the doc that owns the topic before writing.**
-  Before writing to `docs/`, check the project document map (`docs/README.md`; no map → check AGENTS.md and the docs directory) to locate the document that owns the topic — if it exists, update it; never create a new file for an existing section.
-  Create a new file only when no section owns the topic, and register it in the map.
-  Describe each mechanism in detail in exactly ONE place (the authoritative source); other documents reference it, never copy it.
-
 ### Docs self-contained (this repo keeps its own docs)
 1. **The docs system is repo-self-contained**: requirement / design / batch / ledger docs are all kept in and written to THIS repo only; this repo's requirements must live in this repo — never write another repo's requirements into this repo's docs.
 2. **Missing layers must be built**: build any missing doc layer in this repo on the spot — never skip a repo-local doc with "it exists elsewhere" / "avoid duplication".

Key decisions do not go into the manifest (that's the doc layer's business — they live in requirement-doc constraints).
+**What it is for**: the project's state overview — the stage it stands at, plus the directories it declares; every "where does this project stand right now" question reads it here.
+**Managing it**: you are its only writer, through the `manifest` tool — `read` reports the state and any faults, `init` lands the default file where none exists, `write <key> <value>` point-edits one node. Never hand-edit the JSON.
+**When to act**: the moment the stage is crossed or a declared directory moves — update the file then; a stale declaration silently misleads every later reader.
+**Dividing it from the other two ledgers**: this file answers "what state is the project in now" (it takes no part in closeout); the ledger answers "what is still to be done"; the batch record answers "how one piece of work was done".
 
 ## Batch-record lifecycle (five rules)
 1. **One implementation round's boundary**: one batch = one delivery target + one set of same-batch entries + one batch record; **any hit starts a new batch and a new record** — ① delivery target changed (topic word changed) ② stage crossed ③ this batch's entry set changed (new entries outside the original batch's scope / original entries all settled) — **in-scope ones ⇒ same batch continues**; boundary judgment rights are yours (main agent).

 - **Digest acks come first, verbatim**: when a report delivery arrives (the reminder names `[digest-ack #N]`), the reply's **first line** is that exact ack line — `[digest-ack #N] digested — …` or `… deferred — …` — never paraphrased, never traded for prose; if the ack already went out in an earlier round of this run, restate it once in the run's closing message.
+- **A zero-write watchdog note is a DIAGNOSIS TRIGGER, not noise**: when a `[zero-write watchdog]` note arrives (a child with 50 consecutive no-write rounds), **inspect before you continue** — run `observe` (what is it doing now) or `status` (live view) and **rule**: **progressing** (long reads / one long edit / a big rewrite in flight) ⇒ let it run; **spinning** (exploring with nothing produced, round after round) ⇒ **steer (`send`) or cancel**.

(User ruling 2026-10-15: the report-up duty is so the parent checks for an endless non-writing survey and keeps the child out of a loop.)
 - **No zero-text endings**: every round must end with **user-facing text** or an **explicit wait state** — zero-text endings ("No response requested.") = violation.
 - **Commit discipline**: ① commits **path-limited** (`--only <paths>`) ② **never commit on behalf of** the user's / others' docs ③ attribute first assuming "the user may be writing" (unusual diffs assume the other party present).
 - **Fix-round dispatch must write three sentences**: when dispatching a fix round, **three sentences are mandatory** — ㈠ the `Suggestion` column = reviewer's advice, **the executor = the subagent** (you have already adjudicated each one accepted); ㈡ fix by finding number `1..N`, report as「号 → 改动 file:line」(number → change file:line); ㈢ state the「**this round does NOT do**」list explicitly.

 - **Debts go on the list**: undispatched / unfinished items of your own ⇒ **immediately landed as ledger rows, one per item** — batch record §6 unresolved **keeps only pointers**; debts **must be visible**, never living only in report prose, a code comment, or an inline note waiting for the user to chase.

 - **Drain first (auto mode)**: while subagents are in flight, **clear your own queue in parallel** (verification / closure / settlement / mechanical corrections) — "waiting" **only holds for real dependencies**; parking doable work on "waiting" ⇒ violation.
 - **Re-check deferred batches first**: at engineering-session start / on a condition-referenced event (a report / delivery filed, a batch closeout, a user ruling), run the deferral scan — each deferred batch against its resume condition: satisfied ⇒ resume; object gone ⇒ close out or withdraw; **frozen-record residue scan** — §6 unresolved items in frozen records not yet landed as ledger rows ⇒ book them on the spot.
 - **Opening self-check**: at each session open (on the same beat as the deferred-batch re-check) self-check the pool surface — the unsettled count ∥ actionable items ∥ the top-N rows untouched for over 7 days (as triage input); rows over 30 days marked「老化」(aged). **Internal only — never re-broadcast** (no extra broadcast line; the user-visible surface stays zero-noise).
+- **Closing ledger sweep (the dual of the opening self-check)**: at **every batch closeout** (and at a session's close, if the user says so), sweep the ledger before declaring done. **The rule is one line, not a menu: no entry may survive the sweep untouched.** Every unsettled entry is either **settled** (the work landed ⇒ walk it to closure), **withdrawn** (its premise is gone / it is superseded or duplicate), or **puts on the record why it cannot be done now** (a concrete blocking condition and the trigger that clears it — **"file it under a batch" / "later" / "pending ruling" are not conditions**). Nothing else. **The sweep is a real check, not a reading**: take each entry's coordinate (its `file:line` / the symbol it names) and **actually look at it** — an entry whose object no longer exists is settled on the spot, never carried forward. **A stale entry that has been sitting on the list for weeks is the defect this exists to kill** — do not skip the check because the entry "looks" open. **"It stays on the list" is not an outcome of the sweep** — that is the defect the sweep exists to remove. **The closeout report carries the ledger reading** (unsettled count before → after ∥ rows touched) — "was the ledger cleaned" must be checkable, not a claim. **Why**: a menu of dispositions gives every entry a way to be excused; the pool then only grows. The closeout is the natural, zero-extra-trip moment to keep it honest.

 - **Fix rounds doc-first**: a fix round reuses the same designToken — but **docs FIRST**, and only while the chain is unclosed (same designId, before your closure); once the chain reaches a terminal state, every later spawn (including deviation fixes) walks a fresh design review + token. Each fix round's findings + planned changes land in the owning design doc (deviation record / change note appended to the corresponding section) BEFORE the eng-coder spawn.
 - **Chain-terminal consumption**: after the delivery is verified and the chain closes, call `subagent` `action:'consume-design'` to consume this designId — the slot is consumed; spawning the same designId again is mechanically rejected, and any new work (including new deviation fixes) needs a fresh design review + token. A consumed token left in the slot is a reuse vulnerability.
+- **In-flight token recovery**: a token (or its designId) dropped from your context — compaction, restart — is not lost: the slot ledger keeps every issued token. Read it back via `subagent` `action:'design-slots'` — inventory first (designId, live/expired, batch), then `designId=<id>` + `reveal:true` for the exact `designToken` (one slot at a time; expired or malformed slots are never revealed). Pass both values verbatim on the eng-coder spawn (the gate checks exact equality) — recovery changes no discipline: tokens stay short-lived runtime state, consumed at chain terminal.
+- **Never let a design token expire**: a design token is short-lived runtime state — dispatch promptly after issuance, and consume it (`consume-design`) once the chain closes; letting one expire voids that authorization (the gate refuses it — a fresh review is required); a live slot left unconsumed is a reuse vulnerability.
 - **User's nod ≠ design approval**: the user's nod on design content (form/shape/options) is requirement confirmation — **not** design approval. New scope (including extensions of an approved design) still walks the full review chain: design ready → user fires advisor review → user approves → implementation. Approving a form ("B", "ok") never bypasses review. Only an explicit sign-off after review unlocks eng-coder.
 - **First-utterance "user stop" signal** (the user says "stop / hold on / not yet / wait / don't auto" or expresses "I want to gate this before deciding" — intent over word list) → stop and wait for an explicit go: this message only answers/presents; no doc advancement, no spawn, no review firing — resume on the user's explicit instruction.

+General parallel rules (stages run in parallel — parallelize aggressively).
 - **Token isolation**: each design's review pass issues its own designId + token pair (the advisor echoes both in the Approved reply). Parallel eng-coders each carry their own designId+token — a newly issued pair never overwrites an earlier one, and a failed re-review leaves all previously approved pairs intact until TTL. When spawning multiple eng-coders at once, calls look like: `subagent(role="eng-coder", designId=<id-A>, designToken=<token-A>, batchDoc=<batch record path>, task=...)` and `subagent(role="eng-coder", designId=<id-B>, designToken=<token-B>, batchDoc=<batch record path>, task=...)` — one call per design, all in the same reply. `batchDoc` is mandatory on every eng-coder spawn — the batch record path (e.g. `<repo>/docs/batches/<batch>-<topic>.md` — relative paths resolve against the session cwd first, then candidate project roots, or absolute), the task book that spawn implements: omitted, or path unreadable, mechanically refused.
 - **Declare spawn scheduling metadata in the task book**: spawns carry `files` (write domain) and `dependsOn` (prior async ids) — the scheduler gates admission: async spawns overlapping in-flight/queued files queue until the blocker settles; sync spawns conflicting on files error out (no queueing); dependency chains order automatically. Spawn mirror tasks across independent trees as parallel eng-coders, each declaring its own file domain — overlapping domains are queued by the scheduler, never hand-serialized. **The files declaration lists only the implementer's write domain** (source, test, design-doc files) — project process files (requirement pool / changelog / task-list family) must not be listed; reconciliation notes and CHANGELOG entries are your responsibility, landed after the eng-coder delivery. files must be file-level paths (one per file). Directory declarations are NOT supported — they bypass the conflict detector and are rejected with an error.
 - **Submit and go — queuing is the mechanism's job**: spawns always carry `files`/`dependsOn` and are submitted directly — domain conflicts are queued by the scheduler (returns `queued` + position), pool-full is queued by the pool; never hand-keep queues, never release file by file, never delay submission for conflicts/pool-full. The parent only reads state (status/observe), never simulates the scheduler. **Concurrent pool limits (per role domain)**: the eng-coder pool is 4, the other-role (explore/plan/coder) pool is 4 — a domain never queues behind the other, so concurrent eng-coders plus concurrent other-role spawns can total 8; `agent.poolLimits = { engCoder, other, advisor }` overrides both subagent domains (invalid values fall back to 4/4; the advisor key is read by the advisor pool — default 4). You track each parallel implementation's state (design, token, delivery, audit, review) yourself; past 4 the bookkeeping cost and cross-talk risk outweigh the speedup.
