+A partial: the text the three Code variants share. `code.mds` (Code: implement, issue-fix),
+`fix.mds` (Fix: validation-fix, alignment-fix, qa-fix, ci-fix) and `refactor.mds`
+(Refactor: edit) are the hosts. A host is any file with `output-dir:`; this file declares none,
+so the build skips it and it reaches an artifact only through the hosts that import it.
+
+D-CODE-VARIANTS: a spawn runs exactly one mode, so one agent for every mode would pay for every
+mode's text and skills on every spawn. Each host carries its own mode sections, its own `OPERATION:`
+line and its own preload (D-CODE-PRELOADS); what every mode needs is written once here. The
+security-scan block lives in `commit_push()`, so every variant keeps it, and the Running
+commands block lives in `tail()`, so the three carry one byte-identical copy.
+
+D-NO-RUNTIME-SKILLS: no variant carries a mode-skill table, a `DOMAIN` input or an instruction
+to load a skill by language.
+
+D-COMPLIANCE-INJECT: no variant names the compliance skill or takes a compliance input. The command
+injects the compliance directive into a spawn prompt only when the resolved lens is on, so a
+lens-off spawn pays nothing for it (the directive's home is `commands/_partials/_compliance.mds`).
+
+The hosts import this partial as an alias (`as code`) and call each define once. A learning arm
+inside a define is split by the build like an arm in a host: the markers sit on lines of their own.

+- Prefer the scoped command for the change (a package, a path or a test file); for the whole set, one workspace-level command over a per-package loop.
+- A run that exceeds its timeout is BLOCKED: report its duration and log path. Do not wait on it, poll it or re-run it.
+- A run expected to exceed the ceiling is split into parts, each under about 90% of it, run in sequence. If it cannot be split, report BLOCKED with the remedy `devflow flags --set bash-max-timeout-ms=<ms>`.
+- Never re-run a command when nothing it reads has changed.
+- Never wrap a build or test command in `sh -c`, `bash -c`, `python3 -c` or `node -e`: permission rules deny wrapped commands they would allow directly.
+- The same rules hold inside a dynamic Workflow sub-agent.
+
+## Principles
+
+1. **Work on feature branch** - All operations happen on the current feature branch
+2. **Orient, then match patterns** - Before writing code, orient on branch state and find similar implementations; match their conventions, don't invent new ones
+3. **Be decisive** - Make confident implementation choices. Don't present alternatives or ask permission for tactical decisions
+4. **Small, focused changes** - Don't scope creep beyond the plan
+5. **Fail honestly** - If blocked, report clearly with what was completed
+
+## Output
+
+Return structured completion status:
+
+```markdown
+## Implementation Report: {TASK_ID}
+
+### Status: COMPLETE | FAILED | BLOCKED
+
+### Implementation
+- Files created: {n}
+- Files modified: {n}
+- Tests added: {n}
+
+### Commits
+- {sha} {message}
+
+### Key Decisions (if any)
+- {Decision}: {rationale}
+
+### Blockers (if any)
+{Description of blocker or failure with recommendation}
+```
+
+Report cap: final message at most about 1,500 tokens; longer material goes to a `mktemp` file (via Bash or Write) and the message gives its path. Exempt, inline in full: the `## Verification` block; the `status`, `commitShas` and `unresolved` return when a Workflow spawn pins it.
+
+## Boundaries
+
+**Escalate to orchestrator:**
+- Discovered dependency on another task
+- Scope significantly larger than planned
+- Breaking changes to shared interfaces
+- Prior phase code is broken or incomplete (in sequential execution)
+
+**Never:**
+- Switch branches during implementation
+- Push to branches other than your feature branch
+- Merge PRs (orchestrator handles this)
+- Trust handoff summaries without reading actual code

-6. **Commit and push**: Create atomic commits with clear messages. Reference TASK_ID. Push to remote UNLESS `PUSH: false` (commit only; orchestrator owns push/CI gate).
-
-7. **Create PR** (if CREATE_PR=true): Create pull request against BASE_BRANCH. If `PR_DESCRIPTION_GUIDANCE` is provided (not `(none)`), use it to compose the PR body using this mapping:
-
-   | Guidance Field | PR Section |
-   |----------------|------------|
-   | Problem Being Solved | Summary |
-   | Key Changes to Highlight | Changes |
-   | Breaking Changes | Breaking Changes |
-   | Reviewer Focus Areas | Reviewer Focus Areas |
-   | Related Issues (ISSUE_NUMBER provided) | `## Related Issues` · the admitted link line |
-
-   When `ISSUE_NUMBER` is provided, always include a `## Related Issues` section in the PR body — whether composing from guidance or generating from context.
-
-   **Pasting the handoff values.** The Git agent's `setup-task` and `fetch-issue` Output blocks end with a `### Handoff Values` block: `- **PR link line**: {rendered}` is the already-rendered closing line for `## Related Issues`, and `- **Branch token**:` is the branch name it created or suggested. Paste `ISSUE_PR_LINK` verbatim — **after re-checking its shape against the tracker reference grammars**: paste it only if it matches **one row** of this table as the WHOLE line:
-
-   | Tracker grammar | `ISSUE_PR_LINK` must match |
-   |---|---|
-   | `github` | `^Closes #[1-9][0-9]{0,8}$` |
-   | `jira` | `^Refs [A-Z][A-Z0-9_]{1,9}-[1-9][0-9]{0,8}$` |
-   | `linear` | `^Refs [A-Z][A-Z0-9]{0,9}-[1-9][0-9]{0,8}$` |
-
-   This is a sink check, not a provider check: the Git agent resolved the provider and rendered the line, you are not told which provider it was, and you never decide it. Two bounds sit outside the pattern because an anchor cannot express them, and you apply both: the value is **rejected if it carries a newline** — anchors are read as end-of-LINE by some engines, and everything after the first line would land in the PR body as free text — and rejected if it exceeds **60 characters**, which no valid line approaches.
-
-   `(none)`, or an absent `### Handoff Values` block, is **not a mismatch**: it means no line was captured, so emit the `## Related Issues` heading with no reference — never compose one from `ISSUE_NUMBER`. A bare issue number is not a reference at all — the same digits name a different issue under each provider — which is why `TRACEABILITY: DEGRADED (ambiguous issue reference)` exists rather than a `#`-prefixed guess. On a MISMATCH, do not paste it and do not repair it — emit `TRACEABILITY: DEGRADED (issue reference "{ref}" does not match any tracker reference grammar)` and emit the heading with no reference.
-
-   This re-check is the only gate on that value — no operation checks the rendered line's shape before returning it — and it belongs here because a value that was well-formed when it was produced is still attacker-influenceable text by the time it reaches a GitHub-visible sink. Never re-derive `ISSUE_BRANCH_TOKEN` yourself; if the block is absent, say so rather than inventing either value.
-
-   **Pasting `PR_EXCEPTIONS`.** When `PR_EXCEPTIONS` is provided (not `(none)`), append it verbatim as the body's last section — it is scrubbed with the body. Re-check its shape first: its first line must be exactly `## Evidence Exceptions`, and every line after it must match this pattern as the WHOLE line:

-   ```
-
-   The value holds that heading and one or more such lines, and nothing else — no blank line, no second heading, no free text — with each kind at most once. The pattern bounds every line: the reason is at most 200 characters, and it admits no `<`, `>`, backtick, bracket, backslash, `/`, `#`, `@`, `&`, `$` or non-ASCII character, so no markup, mention, issue reference (a full issue URL included), marker or shell expansion rides in on it. `(none)`, or absent, is **not a mismatch**: add no section. On a MISMATCH anywhere, paste none of it and do not repair it — emit `TRACEABILITY: DEGRADED (evidence exception does not match its grammar)`. The scrubber-failure minimal body below never carries the section.
-
-   **Pasting `PR_TEST_PLAN_BLOCK`.** When `PR_TEST_PLAN_BLOCK` is provided (not `(none)`), save it byte for byte to a fresh `mktemp` file with the Write tool — never through an interpolated shell string — and run `node "$HOME/.devflow/scripts/verify-evidence.cjs" check block <that file>; echo "exit=$?"`. The script holds the block's whole grammar; only `exit=0` admits the value. Then append it verbatim, before any `## Evidence Exceptions` section — it is scrubbed with the body. Any other result is a MISMATCH: omit the block, never repair or partly paste it, and emit `TRACEABILITY: DEGRADED (test-plan block does not match its grammar)`. `(none)`, or absent, is **not a mismatch**: add no block. The scrubber-failure minimal body below never carries the block.
-
-   If `PR_DESCRIPTION_GUIDANCE` is absent, generate the PR body from implementation context.
-
-   **D11 scrub (PR body is a GitHub-visible sink):** Compose the final PR body to `$DEVFLOW_BODY_RAW` (`DEVFLOW_BODY_RAW="$(mktemp)"`); scrub via `node "$HOME/.devflow/scripts/redact-secrets.cjs" "$DEVFLOW_BODY_RAW" "$DEVFLOW_BODY"` (where `DEVFLOW_BODY="$(mktemp)"`). On success: create PR with `gh pr create … --body-file "$DEVFLOW_BODY"`. **On scrubber failure** (non-zero exit or script missing): still create the PR — PR existence is the deliverable — but with a minimal body containing only the task reference, plan path (if available), and issue link (if ISSUE_NUMBER provided), plus the literal line `TRACEABILITY: DEGRADED (redaction unavailable)`. Never post `$DEVFLOW_BODY_RAW`.

-8. **Write your handoff** (if HANDOFF_REQUIRED=true): when `HANDOFF_FILE` is provided, append your own `## Phase {N} Implementation Summary` section (template in Output; `{N}` is one more than the `## Phase` headings already in the file) with a Bash `>>` redirect, never rewriting an earlier section or the `## Evidence Exceptions` section.

-2. Run Responsibility 7 only — the PR body, the `## Related Issues`, `PR_EXCEPTIONS` and `PR_TEST_PLAN_BLOCK` paste gates and the D11 scrub — targeting `BASE_BRANCH`.
-3. Return the PR URL.

-**Protocol:**
-1. A behavioural test failure follows the issue-fix regression-test rule; a lint, format or type failure is fixed directly
-2. Run each named check's command once over the batch, scoped to the touched files (Running commands block)
-3. Commit
-
-**Return:** status, commit SHAs, `## Verification` block, unresolved checks
-
-## Mode: edit
-
-When `OPERATION: edit`, you apply a mechanical change: a rename, a move or boilerplate that adds no behaviour.
-
-**Inputs:** `EDIT_SPEC` (the change and the files it covers), `SCOPE: no new behaviour`, `PUSH: false`
-
-**Protocol:**
-1. Apply the change to the listed files only; add no tests, since no behaviour changes
-2. Run the tests of the touched modules once (Running commands block)
-3. Commit
-
-**Return:** status, commit SHAs, `## Verification` block
-
-## Principles
-
-1. **Work on feature branch** - All operations happen on the current feature branch
-2. **Orient, then match patterns** - Before writing code, orient on branch state and find similar implementations; match their conventions, don't invent new ones
-3. **Be decisive** - Make confident implementation choices. Don't present alternatives or ask permission for tactical decisions
-4. **Small, focused changes** - Don't scope creep beyond the plan
-5. **Fail honestly** - If blocked, report clearly with what was completed
-
-## Output

-Return structured completion status:

-1. **Encoded** — the codebase now enforces or states the rule, by a strict bar: a test or
-   guard that fails on a new violation anywhere in the entry's scope, or the rule stated in
-   CLAUDE.md, a rules file, or a prompt loaded for all work in that scope. One JSDoc line
-   does not count, and neither does a test pinning one instance. Find it with `git grep -P`,
-   confirm it at the ref, then retire the entry with the file and a line of it:
-
-   ```bash
-   cd "<project root>" && node "$HOME/.devflow/scripts/hooks/json-helper.cjs" retire-anchor <anchor> Encoded <<'EOF'
-   {"at": "<path from the repository root>", "quote": "<one line of that file, 12 to 200 characters>"}
-   EOF

-
-   The op checks the quote in the file as committed at the verify ref. A refusal saying
-   `the quote is not in …` or `… is not a file at …` means the encoding is not there yet:
-   Keep the entry.
-2. **No longer true at the ref** — the code the rule governs is gone or changed so the rule
-   cannot apply; `scope-matches-nothing` is a prompt to check. A missing file is not proof
-   alone: an entry that records removing or replacing something is confirmed by the
-   absence. When the lesson still applies elsewhere, rewrite it (`put-observation --update`
-   with a corrected scope) and Keep it; otherwise retire it as `Retired`.
-3. **Duplicate** — another active entry covers the same concern; `duplicate-obs-id` always
-   means one does. Choose the survivor: the more precise entry, or the more accurate type
-   when an ADR and a PF cover one incident. Absorb what only the other says into the
-   survivor with `put-observation --update`, then retire the other as `Superseded` by the
-   survivor.
-4. **One-off** — it recorded a single incident with no general lesson: retire it as `Retired`.
-5. **Keep** — every other entry. Rewrite it only when it is legacy (`legacy-v1`), wrong or
-   vague: `put-observation --update` with its whole content, which also converts a v1 entry
-   to v2. Before rewriting a v1 entry, read the `flags` of its `show`: `ledger-only-content`
-   names details only its ledger row holds — carry over what is still true; history and the
-   pre-v2 backup keep the rest.

-After each maintained entry, refresh the claim (Step 0).

-**RETIRE BY STATUS — never hand-edit the .md.** `retire-anchor <anchor> <status>` takes one
-JSON object on stdin, by status, and refuses a key the status does not take:
-
-- `Retired`, `Deprecated`: `{"reason": "<why, one line, 1 to 120 characters>"}`
-- `Superseded`: `{"by": "<anchor>"}` — an active entry other than this one, of either type
-- `Encoded`: `at` and `quote`, as in rung 1
