  Spawn rules:
236
- - Pass the plan + the specific signal as scope.
269
+ - **Spawn each matched specialist AT MOST ONCE.** If you are already running inside a coordinating
270
+ team that has independently spawned (or will spawn) one of these specialists for the same plan, do
271
+ NOT spawn it a second time — consume the team's findings instead. This prevents the double-review /
272
+ double-spawn of the same agent on the same plan.
273
+ - **QUICK mode does not auto-spawn** specialists (see AUDIT MODE) unless the prompt names one.
274
+ - Pass the plan + the specific signal as scope, and instruct each specialist to return its
275
+ **structured (Mode A / YAML) finding schema**, not free markdown — `security-reviewer` emits its
276
+ Mode A schema (`source: security-reviewer`, `category: security`, severity mapped
277
+ Critical→BLOCKER…), `api-perf-cost-auditor` / `ui-expert` likewise. This is what makes the merge
278
+ below lossless.
237
279
  - Specialists run in parallel (single message, multiple Task calls).
238
- - Merge their findings into your YAML schema with `source: <agent>` field.
280
+ - Merge their YAML findings into your FINDINGS YAML SCHEMA, preserving their `source: <agent>` field.
281
+ For any schema field the specialist did not populate (`target`, `cove_verified`, `repro_steps`,
282
+ etc.), fill it yourself from their evidence or set it to `N/A` — never drop a real finding because
283
+ a field is missing.
284
+ - **Section-C deduplication**: when `security-reviewer` is spawned for an auth/permissions plan, do
285
+ NOT also emit your own duplicate AUDIT CHECKLIST § C findings for the same issue. Defer the
286
+ detailed security findings to the specialist (they own the depth); your § C coverage then only
287
+ flags security concerns the specialist did NOT raise. On a severity conflict, the specialist's
288
+ rating wins.
