-Two distinct LLM-authored-script bugs have crashed whole runs in the field: `TypeError: pipeline() expects an array as the first argument` and `undefined is not an object (evaluating 'SEAL.num')`. Before you invoke the `Workflow` tool, audit the script you just authored against this checklist — it targets exactly those crash classes:
+Audit the script against this checklist:
 
-- **`meta` is a pure literal** — `name` and `description` present; NO variables, function calls, spreads, or template interpolation anywhere inside `meta`.
+- **`meta` is a pure literal** — `name` and `description` present; no variables, function calls, spreads or template interpolation anywhere inside `meta`.
 - **Every `pipeline(x, …)` / `parallel(x)` first argument is a real array** — never a function, object, or possibly-undefined value. If it derives from a prior agent result, coerce it: `parallel((maybeList || []).map(...))`.
-- **No reference to a possibly-undefined field** — guard every cross-result field access with optional chaining (e.g. `result?.findings`, `seal?.num`). This is the `SEAL.num` crash class: an agent returned a shape without `num`, so `SEAL.num` threw.
+- **No reference to a possibly-undefined field** — guard every cross-result field access with optional chaining.
 - **`.filter(Boolean)` before mapping over `agent()` / `parallel()` results** — an agent can return `null` (skipped, or died after retries); strip nulls before `.map` or field access. filter(Boolean) is crash-safety only; it must never convert missing required coverage into success.
 - **`phase()` titles match the phases declared in `meta`** — every `phase("…")` call has a matching declared phase, and vice-versa.
 
-Then run a cheap syntax gate: write the authored script to a fresh, run-unique scratch file `/tmp/df-wf-check-<meta.name>-<epoch-seconds>.js` (a NEW filename every run — never reuse a prior run's path, as rewriting an existing file trips write guards), run `node --check` on that file, and only then pass the script text to the `Workflow` tool as usual. `node --check` catches SYNTAX errors only — it does NOT catch the runtime type errors above, so the checklist is the real safeguard.

 ### Budget scaling
 
-The `budget` global governs depth. Scale Review agent roster and verification votes to `budget`. A low-budget run uses a leaner roster and fewer verification votes; a high-budget run expands both. Never hardcode a roster size — let budget guide it.
+Scale the Review roster and the verification votes to the `budget` global: fewer at a low budget, more at a high budget. Never hardcode a roster size.
 
 ### Handoff convention for sequential Code agents within a ticket
 
-When a ticket requires multiple sequential Code agent phases, each Code agent appends its own `## Phase {N} Implementation Summary` section, at most 8,192 bytes, to `{toplevel}/.devflow/docs/handoff-{branch_slug}.md` (branch-scoped to prevent concurrent session clobber), `{branch_slug}` being the ticket's branch name with every `/` replaced by `-`, and `{toplevel}` being `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` in the checkout the ticket's branch is in — never a subdirectory. It never rewrites an earlier section. The next Code agent reads, via HANDOFF_FILE input, only the section of the phase immediately before its own, not the whole file. PRIOR_PHASE_SUMMARY is the compact in-context form; the handoff file is the durable form that survives context compaction. Code is authoritative, summaries are supplementary.
+When a ticket requires multiple sequential Code agent phases, each Code agent appends its own `## Phase {N} Implementation Summary` section, at most 8,192 bytes, to `{toplevel}/.devflow/docs/handoff-{branch_slug}.md`, `{branch_slug}` being the ticket's branch name with every `/` replaced by `-`, and `{toplevel}` being `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` in the checkout the ticket's branch is in — never a subdirectory.

 ## dynamic-plan — author and run a parallel planning + plan-challenge workflow
 
-This command instructs you to construct and run a Claude Code dynamic Workflow that plans all tickets in parallel, challenges each plan (gaps, edge cases, side-effects), produces well-structured acceptance criteria and a test plan for each ticket (consumed by `/devflow:dynamic-build`'s Gate 2), runs a cross-plan conflict critic, auto-resolves decisions matching the user's preference profile, and writes per-ticket plan files + one `DECISIONS-NEEDED.md`.

-| Review | opus | Focus-parameterized code review — spawn ONE agent() per focus area |

 ### Agent caveats
 
-- **The Code family writes every fix** — Code for review findings, Fix for gate failures; no other agent type writes code. Finding-verification uses adversarial Review agent-style passes (§6.3 of design doc). Risk-assessment and tech-debt routing live in the post-code pipeline + escalation doctrine.
-- **Always omit `opts.model` with `agentType`.** Each agent honors its own frontmatter model tier; overriding it defeats the per-agent specialization.
-- **Review agents are focus-parameterized.** Each focus is a SEPARATE `agent()` call with `agentType: "Review"` and the focus baked into the prompt. Do NOT batch multiple focuses into one Review agent call — that defeats parallel specialization.
-- **Do not depend on agents enumerating their own skills.** Skills are loaded (spike F5 confirmed) but self-reporting is imperfect. Write agent prompts that give the agent full context directly.
