+covers what surrounds both and is not repeated here. `ctxr land` does the landing. This skill decides when to run it.
 
 1. Name the target explicitly — a branch name or a pull-request number — rather than relying on whichever
    checkout you happen to be standing in: that checkout is as likely to be the canonical clone on
    `__DEFAULT_BRANCH__`, which has no session to infer, as the session itself. Never land
    `__DEFAULT_BRANCH__` itself; a pull request whose head is `__DEFAULT_BRANCH__` is refused too.
-2. Read state before any side effect: `gh pr view <target> --json number,url,title,state,mergeable,headRefName`.
-   Refuse if the head branch is `__DEFAULT_BRANCH__`, or if the target you named doesn't match the head
-   branch this reports. A closed pull request stops here — report it, do nothing further.
-3. Check mergeability. `MERGEABLE` proceeds to the gate below. `UNKNOWN` re-queries once (`gh pr view`
-   again) before treating it as still unknown. `CONFLICTING` or still-`UNKNOWN` after the re-query stops
-   the command — follow `ctxr-session-lifecycle`'s conflict playbook, then retry from step 1; a retry
-   re-reads state and performs only what remains.
-4. Gate: merging is an external side effect, and plan consent is not fire consent. Present the pull
-   request's number, title, and url; wait for an explicit go (already having explicit approval from
-   elsewhere in this conversation satisfies this — don't ask twice).
-5. Merge: `gh pr merge <number> --squash` (or `--merge` / `--rebase` if the operator asked for a different
-   method). Then re-read state (`gh pr view` again) to confirm the forge reports `MERGED` — never claim a
-   merge from the merge command's exit code alone; a transport error can arrive after the merge already
-   succeeded.
-6. Synchronize the default branch in the store's canonical clone — the repository's main worktree, not
-   necessarily the checkout you're running this from. From the canonical clone: `git fetch origin` then
-   `git merge --ff-only origin/__DEFAULT_BRANCH__`. If that clone is on another branch, or the fast-forward
-   fails (diverged from origin), report exactly that and stop — never check it out, reset it, or force the
-   merge to make it comply.
-7. Reclaim the worktree: see `ctxr-session-lifecycle`'s Reclaiming section (`ctxr session list` to scope,
-   then `git worktree remove` / `git branch -d`) — run it from outside the worktree being removed. This is
-   the default action, not an optional extra: nothing sweeps up afterward, so a worktree left here is left
-   indefinitely. Skip it only for a reason you can name — you are standing inside it, it is not yours to
-   reclaim, or the operator asked you to leave it — and report that reason in step 8.
-8. Report exactly what happened — merged or not, synced or not (with why not), reclaimed or not (with why
-   not). Never claim a merge or a cleanup you did not confirm yourself.
+   Run every step from outside the worktree being removed. Why: no command can remove the directory it runs from.
+2. Read state before any side effect. Run `gh pr view <target> --json number,url,title,state,headRefName`.
+   A closed pull request stops here. Report it, and do nothing more.
+   When this store declares `change_approval`, also run `ctxr review list`. Find the row for this pull request.
+   Why: a decision made on the approval page is recorded there, with the person who made it.
+3. Gate. Landing is an external side effect, and plan consent is not fire consent.
+   - When the row says `approved`, that decision is the consent. Go to step 4 without a question.
+     Why: a decider approved this exact change on the approval page.
+   - Otherwise, present the pull request's number, title, and url. Wait for an explicit go. An explicit
+     approval given earlier in this conversation satisfies this. Do not ask twice.
+   - When the row says `changes-requested` or `needs-reapproval`, say so before you ask.
+     Why: a decider asked for a change, or has not seen the current version.
+4. Land. With an approval from the page, run `ctxr land <number>`. With an explicit go, run
+   `ctxr land <number> --confirm`. Use `--confirm` only after that go. Why: the flag tells the command that a person agreed.
+   The command catches the branch up with `__DEFAULT_BRANCH__`, merges, re-reads state to confirm that the forge
+   reports the pull request merged, fast-forwards the canonical clone, removes the worktree and its branch, and
+   records the landing. Do not run `gh pr merge` yourself. Why: the command holds the consent check, and it
+   never trusts a merge command's exit code alone.
+5. Act on the outcome the command reports:
+   - `merged`: go to step 6.
+   - `blocked` with the reason `conflict`: follow `ctxr-session-lifecycle`'s conflict playbook in the session
+     worktree. Then do step 4 again. A retry re-reads state and does only what remains.
+   - `blocked` with another reason: report the reason. A conflict resolver ran and its result was refused.
+   - `needs-reapproval`: report that the change needs a new decision on the approval page. Do not land it with
+     `--confirm` unless the operator says so for this version. Why: nobody approved the new version.
+   - `no-consent`: return to step 3.
+   - `merge-refused`: report it. Checks or branch protection can still be pending, and a later run retries.
+   - `lease-refused`: the branch moved while the command ran. Start again from step 1.
+6. Report exactly what happened — merged or not, synced or not (with why not), reclaimed or not (with why
+   not), each as the command reports it. If the canonical clone did not sync, never check it out, reset it, or
+   force a merge to make it comply. Reclaiming is the default action, not an optional extra: nothing sweeps
+   up afterward, so a worktree left here is left indefinitely. If the command kept the worktree, follow
+   `ctxr-session-lifecycle`'s Reclaiming section once the reason is gone. Never claim a merge or a cleanup that
+   the command did not report.
 
-Merging with `gh pr merge` (step 5) is the mechanism, not a shortcut around one: the pull request and its
-merge commit are the audit trail. What step 4's gate protects against is merging without having actually
-read the state in steps 2-3 first, or without an explicit go — never skip the read, the mergeability check,
-or the confirmation to save a round trip.
