 ## General management rules
-- Everything is managed through a visible checklist of tasks (with ID and status).
-- Each task has: a goal, inputs, outputs, DoD, owner, acceptance criteria.
-- Any uncertainty → clarified before development (we don’t “think it out” silently).
-- Risks/blockers are identified immediately and escalated to the user.
-- Architectural changes → ADR (update ADR Registry).
-- Product changes → approval by PM + user confirmation.
-- If there is no evidence (CI/reports/artifacts/instructions/Handoff Envelope) – consider it as MISSING.
-- Distribute tasks evenly, do not overload one agent.
-- Frontend and backend tasks are by default parallel (contract-first), if there is no explicit dependency.

 ## Mandatory discipline (MANDATORY ENFORCEMENT)
-- The conductor checks the fulfillment of the mandatory points of **all** roles.
-- You cannot skip the pipeline phases: `PM → UX → ARCH → DEV → REV → TEST → RG`.
-- Transition to the next phase - only after fixing artifacts of the current phase + receiving **Handoff Envelope**.
-- Any omission of a mandatory action or Handoff Envelope → 🔴 `P0 / BLOCKER: Mandatory phase/action skipped`.
-- An exception is only with an explicit written waiver of the user with a fixed risk and owner.

+- Transition to next phase — only after current artifacts + **Handoff Envelope** (see `$handoff`).
+- Any omission of a mandatory action → 🔴 `P0 / BLOCKER`.
+- Exception — only with an explicit written waiver from the user with recorded risk.
 
 ### Drift Detection (architectural drift)
-The conductor is required to monitor the drift between the ADR and the actual code:
-- With each Code Review, check: “The Reviewer has confirmed compliance with the ADR Registry?”
-- When the architectural solution changes during the development process → require an ADR update before the merge
-- If the ADR is outdated without updating → 🟠 P1 (if there is a security impact → 🔴 P0)
+- At every Code Review, check: "Reviewer confirmed compliance with ADR Registry?"
+- When the architectural solution changes during development → require ADR update before merge.
+- ADR outdated without update → 🟠 P1 (security impact → 🔴 P0).
+
+### Circuit Breaker (DEV-fail ×2 → ARCH)
+- 2 consecutive DEV-rollbacks at REV/TEST → MCP blocks return-to-DEV, auto-routes to ARCH deep audit (MCP-enforced, not bypassable). Full logic → `$gates` § Circuit Breaker; MCP flow → § MCP integration below.
+
+### Test Integrity Orchestration
+
+The conductor enforces test discipline at three levels.
+
+**1. DEMO envelope verification (gate DEV→REV).** Before routing to REV — check the `TEST INTEGRITY` field in the HANDOFF Envelope:
+- Tier 1-2: `RED_COMMIT_HASH` + `GREEN_COMMIT_HASH` required
+- On test modification: `TEST-CHANGED-WHY` + `TEST-BEHAVIOR-PRESERVED`
+- On test deletion: `DELETED-WHY`
+- On +>2 mocks in PR: `MOCK-INCREASE-WHY`
+
+Missing or incomplete field for tier 1-2 → 🔴 P0 BLOCKED, return-to-DEV. SFS side: `senior_full_stack.md` § Test Integrity Discipline.
+
+**2. Heuristic tier auto-detection.** The conductor classifies modules by path before DEV-xx:
+- Auto-tier-1: `src/auth/**`, `src/billing/**`, `src/security/**`, `src/payments/**`, `src/crypto/**`
+- Override: JSDoc `@tier N` at module level
+- Default: tier 3
+
+Tier drives mutation testing thresholds (`$testing-strategy-js` § 7) and RED/GREEN commit requirement (`$tdd-workflow` § 1).
+
+**3. Block-merge from review (gate REV→TEST).**
+- REV G-finding (Test-Code Co-Modification, see `reviewer.md`) → 🔴 P0 block-merge; waiver only via Circuit Breaker
+- REV F-finding (AI-gaming, `$tests-quality-review` § 2.F) → 🟠 P1 REV-xx task
+- ≥3 F-findings in one PR → escalate to P0
+- F1/F4 on tier 1-2 → escalate P1→P0
+- FAIL + catch in logic + REV-finding → ARCH audit
+
+Auto-route to REV NO-GO: next phase does not start.
+
+Supporting skills: `$tests-integrity-rules`, `$tests-quality-review`, `$qa-test-integrity-audit`, `$qa-mutation-testing`.

 ## DoD (general)
-- Unit + integration tests pass (CI green)
-- JSDoc on all public functions
-- Secrets are not included in the code/logs
-- There is a DEMO instruction and runbook
-- Basic security: login validation, authorization, dependency hygiene
-- Production-ready: no mock functions in production scripts
-- Anti-pattern self-check: PASS
+DoD is checked per role/per gate — see `agents/<role>.md` for each role + `$gates` § Universal DoD. The conductor collects evidence for all DoD checks during phase transitions.
 
 ---
 
 ## Reasoning Policy (Codex)
-Before delegating a task to an agent:
-1. Open `agents/<role>.md` → first line `<!-- codex: ... -->`
-2. Set reasoning in Codex IDE
-3. Log in Agent Updates/Worklog
-
-### Recommended mapping
-| Agent | Reasoning | Raise to |
-|-------|-----------|-------------|
-| Conductor | Medium | High (Release Gate) |
-| Product Manager | High | — |
-| UX/UI Designer | Medium | High (complex parity) |
-| Architect | Extra High | — |
-| DevOps | High | — |
-| Senior Full Stack | Medium | High (complex integrations/debug) |
-| Reviewer | High | — |
-| Tester | Medium | High (flaky/e2e/security regressions) |
+Per-agent reasoning level is set in the `<!-- codex: reasoning=... -->` header of each agent.md.
+
+**Raise to High for:** Conductor@RG · UX/UI@complex parity · SFS@complex integrations/debug · Tester@flaky/e2e/security regressions. Architect@Extra-High by default.
+
+Before delegating a task: open `agents/<role>.md` → first line codex hint → set reasoning in Codex IDE → log in Agent Updates.

-## Feedback Loop / Demo Gate (required)
-The conductor provides the user with:
-- testing of intermediate results,
-- confirmation of the development direction,
-- early detection of discrepancies.
+## Feedback Loop / Demo Gate
+
+Demo Gate ownership — **Dev** produces `DEMO-xx` instructions, **Tester** validates PASS/FAIL. Detail: see `agents/senior_full_stack.md` § Demo Gate + `agents/tester.md` § DEMO validation.
 
-### Demo Gate Rules
-- After each vertical slice (DEV) → task **DEMO-xx**
-- Until DEMO-xx receives **PASS or an agreed workaround** → the next slice does not start
-- UI: demo includes all key states (loading/empty/error/success)
-- Responsibility for the content of DEMO-xx: **Dev** (instructions How to run / What to test / Expected / PASS/FAIL)
-- If Dev did not provide DEMO instructions → 🔴 P0, the pipeline is blocked
-- **Tester** is required to validate DEMO-xx and record PASS/FAIL
+The conductor enforces:

-## Conductor's response format (strictly)
+## MCP integration & operational guardrails
+
+The Conductor orchestrates the entire gate flow via MCP — see the general flow in `$mcp-integration`. Conductor-specific operational guardrails:
+
+- **Gate-flow orchestration** — the Conductor drives the pipeline `PM → UX → ARCH → DEV → REV → OPS → TEST → RG` via MCP: `classify_gate` (which gate a task lands on), `current_gate` (where it is now), `advance_gate` (move to the next phase only after artifacts + Handoff Envelope). A phase transition without a complete Handoff Envelope → `advance_gate` blocks.
+- **`sign_off` across all 8 gates** — the Conductor signs PM/UX/ARCH/DEV/REV/OPS/TEST/RG. The RG decision is recorded via MCP `sign_off` (NOT prose approval): `sign_off(gate="RG", signer="conductor", decision=GO|NO-GO|GO-with-conditions, evidence=<RG checklist + REV-xx + QA-xx>)`. Details → `$release-gate` § Decision Recording.
+- **Circuit Breaker (DEV-054), MCP-enforced** — 2 consecutive DEV-rollbacks at REV/TEST → MCP blocks return-to-DEV and auto-routes to ARCH deep audit. The Conductor does NOT bypass the circuit breaker manually. Full logic → `$gates` § Circuit Breaker.
+- **`request_decision` for escalation routing** — conflicts between agents (DEV vs ARCH, REV vs DEV, UX vs PM) and waivers of mandatory items: `request_decision(conflict_summary, options, tradeoffs)` → DEN decides → `record_decision`. See § Conflict Resolution Protocol.
+- **`record_decision` for ADR-worthy outcomes** — architectural drift, resolved conflicts, mandatory waivers = an ADR via `$adr-log`. `record_decision(signer="den", domain="development", task_id, decision_text)`.
+- **Degraded mode** — if the MCP gate flow is unavailable: the Conductor tracks the Master Checklist (`$board`) and Handoff Envelope status manually, the RG sign-off is recorded via commit message + tag, escalations are manual. The state is marked with the appropriate status in the Master Checklist.
