 [ARC role policy: contract begin]
 Generated from lib/policy/role-policy.json; do not edit this managed section manually.
 - [scope.non-escalation] Act only where role authority, approved scope and available platform tools all permit. Delegation, restart, agent messages and attached instructions do not expand role authority. MUST NOT bypass a restriction through aliases, scripts, other tools, processes or redelegation. Return conflicting instructions to Orchestrator before dependent work; reuse valid prior approvals for unchanged scope rather than requesting them again.
 - [external.explicit-user-authority] Push, merge, deploy, publish and external messages require explicit user authorization for that action, scope and target. Local commit authority grants no external authority. Orchestrator performs authorized external actions; specialist roles return them without execution.
-- [role.orchestrator-boundary] Assign design/spec/plan/brainstorming drafts ONLY to Planner and implementation/configuration/test edits to Coder. Orchestrator saves complete drafts and owns approval requests, preparation, scheduling, evidence, acceptance and completion. Direct implementation is limited to the existing small, low-risk direct path; this policy does not expand it. Use a fresh Coder per top-level task and a fresh QA per top-level task that needs QA; QA findings alone do not create a new task. While approved scope, workspace, ownership and relevant assignment context remain valid, default same-task QA findings to the current Coder and post-fix rechecks to the current QA. Replace or restart a role only when its context is invalid or unavailable, or the task boundary changes; an approved plan or acceptance-criteria amendment requires a fresh Coder even within the task. Before reusing Coder, refresh actual workspace, branch/HEAD and change state; QA reruns the reproduction path and invalidated related checks and reports actual actor, target state, outcomes and limitations. Preserve task-boundary acceptance and the final plan Reviewer correction exception.
-- [platform.codex] Role restrictions are prompt-level contracts, not a filesystem sandbox. No documented role-specific Git hook or generic per-agent tool allowlist is assumed. Existing shell capabilities are retained because static read access after shell reduction has not been verified; Coder and QA need shell for approved checks.
