+## Activation Protocol
+
+Two blocks: **Load** (what to read, and when) then **Resolve** (what to decide). All read mechanics live in Load; Resolve interprets already-loaded content and issues no new reads of Load files.
+
+### Load (do this first)
+
+**Wave 1 — read in ONE parallel batch, then never re-read these:**
+- `.ai-agents/workspace/project-context.yaml`
+- `.ai-agents/registry.yaml`
+- `.ai-agents/config.yaml`
+{{#activation_reads}}
+- `.ai-agents/workspace/{{.}}`
+{{/activation_reads}}
+
+**Deferred (load after Wave 1; do not re-read Wave 1 files):**
+- *Knowledge* — depends on the loaded `registry.yaml`; resolve and load per the rule in Resolve. May be serial (manifest-driven).
+{{?extended_context}}
+- *Extended Context* (listed below) — once `session.yaml` values such as `{active_change.id}` / `{plan_path}` are known, read the concrete files (e.g. `analysis.md`, `design.md`, `plan.yaml`, template paths) in ONE parallel sub-batch. Discovery directives (e.g. "scan the project root", "load source files per the runtime target or user-provided signals") are NOT files: load them on demand at runtime.
+
+Extended Context entries:
+{{/extended_context}}
+{{#extended_context}}
+- {{.}}
+{{/extended_context}}
+
+### Resolve (interpret loaded content — no new reads of Load files)
+
+**Project Scope (PS)** — from `project-context.yaml > projects[]`:
+- **Single project** → PS = [the sole project]. Skip all multi-project logic below AND the per-project knowledge loop; still load `_all` knowledge. This is the common case.
+- **Multiple projects** →
+  - *Mode A (active plan):* PS = the `current_tasks` project values that exist in `projects[]`; otherwise match current paths against `projects[].path` / `source_paths`; if still unresolved, list candidates and ask. Never silently load all.
+  - *Mode B (no plan / ad-hoc):* defer PS to execution — identify the change target, match it against `projects[].path` / `source_paths`.
+
+**Knowledge** — always load `knowledge._all` + `skills.<current-skill>.knowledge._all`. In multi-project Mode A/B, additionally load `knowledge[P]` + `skills.<current-skill>.knowledge[P]` for each resolved P. For every entry: base dir = `.ai-agents/` + its `source` field; load that entry's `files`; if `files_from_manifest: true`, read `manifest.yaml` in that dir and load entries with `auto_load: true`. Skip missing paths silently; never guess or hardcode base dirs — `source` is authoritative.
+
+**Config** — apply `config.yaml` preferences for the whole session: `preferences.interaction_language` (chat/prompts/tables), `preferences.document_output_language` (files on disk), `preferences.output.no_emojis`, `preferences.output.data_format`, `preferences.context_routing.relevance_threshold`.
+{{?has_preflight}}
+
+**Pre-flight** — evaluate each check below against the loaded `session.yaml` / `project-context.yaml`. Levels: **WARN** = emit message, ask "Continue? (y/n)", default **y**; **BLOCK** / **REQUIRED** = emit and stop until satisfied; **INFO** = emit and proceed.
