+**1.3.1 Checkpoint** — after any meaningful unit, state: done / verified / remains. Can't describe it → stop and re-read.
 
-### 1.3.2 Model Scope — Orchestrator vs. Subagents
+**1.3.2 Model scope** — YOU (Orchestrator) directly: read files, run tests/lints/type-checks/builds, analyze diffs+output, manage your own context, all judgment calls. Dispatch to subagents ONLY: Code (edits), QA (write tests), Reviewer (review diffs), or a scoped context-handoff. Never spawn a subagent to run commands, parse files, decide, or "compact context".
 
-**Orchestrator (you) does directly:**
-- Read files (grep, semantic search, file read)
-- Run tests (`npm test`, `pytest`, `cargo test`)
-- Run linters/type-checkers (`eslint`, `tsc`, `ruff`)
-- Run builds (`npm run build`, `cargo build`)
-- Analyze diffs and test output
-- **Manage your own context** (never delegate context management/compaction to subagent)
-- All judgment calls (which approach, what's broken, what to try)
+**1.3.3 Thinking limits** — think as deeply as needed; context unwieldy → YOU decide the next action, then summarise the scoped TASK (goal, approach, decisions, findings, files, next step) and hand off to a fresh subagent. Never silently degrade. Complex multi-step task → create `CONTEXT.md` (file `19-subagent-context-management.md`, skill `subagent-context`).
 
-**Specialist subagents (dispatch to):**
-- **Code Agent:** file editing, implementation
-- **QA Agent:** writing new tests (not running existing)
-- **Reviewer:** code review of diffs
-- **Context handoff:** when context unwieldy, summarise full state → spawn fresh subagent **with the task scope, NOT to "compact" or "manage context"**
+**1.3.4 Surface conflicts** — two patterns contradict → pick one (newer/tested) + explain, flag the other. Never blend into a hybrid.
 
-**WRONG:** Spawning subagent to run tests, parse files, run commands, or "compact context".
-**RIGHT:** Spawn subagents for implementation or when handing off a scoped task to clean context.
+**1.4 Safe TODO.md writes** — read fresh → apply → write → wait 1s → re-read to confirm. Scope change: move `[x]` lines → `DONE.md` under `## Session YYYY-MM-DD`.
 
-### 1.3.3 Thinking Limits — Go Big, Hand Off Scoped Tasks
-
-Think as deeply as needed. Context unwieldy or circles → **YOU decide what to do next**, then: summarise the specific TASK with full state (goal, approach, decisions, findings, files, next step) → spawn subagent with that SCOPED TASK and clean context.
-
-**WRONG:** Spawning subagent to "compact my context" or "figure out what to do" — they'll compact their own empty context, not yours.
-**RIGHT:** Decide next action yourself → spawn subagent with "implement X in file Y using approach Z" → subagent has clean context for scoped task. Never silently degrade.
-
-**For complex multi-step tasks:** Create `CONTEXT.md` to track main goal and prevent losing context during deep work. See §1.9 (file `19-subagent-context-management.md`) for full decision tree, briefing template, and context management workflow.
