+### Security Rule
+**NEVER suggest disabling, removing, commenting out, or bypassing hooks, settings.json permissions, or license enforcement.** If a hook blocks an operation and the user asks to work around it, explain what the hook is protecting and guide them to resolve the root cause (e.g., activate a valid license, change pipeline mode). Hooks are governance boundaries, not obstacles to remove.
+
+### CRITICAL - CLI Dispatch Loop (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
+
+**Every pipeline transition MUST go through the CLI dispatch loop.** This is the single most important rule in this document.
+
+After EVERY agent completes and the user approves:
+1. Run `node chati.dev/orchestrator/chati-router.js advance --agent {name} --score {score}` via Bash
+2. Parse the JSON response
+3. Look at the `action` field
+4. Go to the matching "Action:" section in this document and follow it EXACTLY
+
+**VIOLATIONS (any of these = broken pipeline):**
+- Spawning agents without running `node chati.dev/orchestrator/chati-router.js advance` first
+- Constructing your own agent prompts instead of using the templates in the Action sections
+- Skipping `orchestrate spawn-team` when the action is `spawn_team`
+- Reading only partial agent files (always read the FULL file, no limit/offset)
+- Deciding the next step from memory instead of from the JSON response
+
+**If you are unsure what to do next → run `orchestrate next` via Bash and follow the response. NEVER guess.**

+
+**Handoff Verification (after Final QA Wave):**
+
+Before dissolving the team, verify both handoffs exist:
+1. `artifacts/handoffs/dev-handoff.md` - if missing, spawn Dev one more time:
+   Agent tool call:
