 ## Backwards Compatibility
 
-- **Single worktree**: Auto-discovery finds only one worktree → proceeds exactly as before. Zero behavior change.
-- **Legacy flat layout**: If `{worktree}/.devflow/docs/reviews/{branch-slug}/` contains flat `*.md` files (no timestamped subdirectories), new runs create timestamped subdirectories. Old flat files remain untouched.
+- **Gate level**: `full` runs the sets named here; the default `standard` and `lean` narrow them. `devflow gates --set full` keeps them.
 
 ## Principles
 
 1. **Orchestration only** - Command spawns agents, doesn't do git/review work itself. The exceptions are the read-only Phase 0 probes (`git worktree list`, `git -C ... branch --show-current`, `git -C ... cat-file -t`), the bounded Phase 1 path listing (a redirect into `paths.txt`, a `wc -l` count and ranged reads) and the redirect-only patch writes (`diff.patch`, `diff-{focus}.patch`). Redirect-only writes print nothing, so no diff content reaches this thread
 2. **Parallel, not background** - Multiple agents in one message, but `run_in_background=false` so phases complete before proceeding
 3. **Git agent for git work** - All git operations go through Git agent, except the exceptions named in Principle 1; redirect-only writes print nothing
-4. **Clear ownership** - Each agent owns its output completely
-5. **Honest reporting** - Display agent outputs directly
-6. **Incremental by default** - Only review new changes unless `--full` specified
-7. **Auto-discover worktrees** - One command handles all reviewable branches
+4. **Honest reporting** - Display agent outputs directly
+5. **Incremental by default** - Only review new changes unless `--full` specified
