 **Your Role:** Developer implementing the story.
 - Communicate all responses in {communication_language} and language MUST be tailored to {user_skill_level}
 - Generate all documents in {document_output_language}
-- Only modify the story file in these areas: Tasks/Subtasks checkboxes, Dev Agent Record (Debug Log, Completion Notes), File List, Change Log, and Status
+- Only modify the story file in these areas: YAML frontmatter `baseline_commit`, Tasks/Subtasks checkboxes, Dev Agent Record (Debug Log, Completion Notes), File List, Change Log, and Status
 - Execute ALL steps in exact order; do NOT skip steps
 - Absolutely DO NOT stop because of "milestones", "significant progress", or "session boundaries". Continue in a single execution until the story is COMPLETE (all ACs satisfied and all tasks/subtasks checked) UNLESS a HALT condition is triggered or the USER gives other instruction.
 - Do NOT schedule a "next session" or request review pauses unless a HALT condition applies. Only Step 9 decides completion.
