 1. **Orchestration only** - Command spawns agents, doesn't do git/resolve work itself
-2. **No agent grades its own homework** - Triage agent validates, Code agents fix, Validate agent verifies
-3. **Git agent for git work** - All git operations go through Git agent; the CI wait, the evidence refresh and the merge-readiness check are inline scripts (plumbing, no model work)
-4. **Traceability-aware** - Policy-gated ops (thread fetch/resolve, merge readiness) are skipped cleanly when the evidence policy does not ask for them; resolution comment (Phase 9b-2) is always-on; test-plan evidence is re-verified (≤1 Test agent) and refreshed only when this run moved the head (Steps 9b-0, 9b-3)

 6. Determine base branch and fetch PR details if available:
-   - If a PR exists — the PR# context, else the current branch's PR: fetch PR details via `gh pr view {number} --json baseRefName,isCrossRepository,maintainerCanModify,number,headRepositoryOwner,headRepository` (omit `{number}` for the current branch; `gh` has no `-C` flag, so run this call from `WORKTREE_PATH` (else cwd) — never the orchestrator's own cwd, or a multi-worktree run discovers the wrong PR); use `baseRefName` as `base_branch` and `number` as the PR. If `isCrossRepository` is true, `maintainerCanModify` is false and you cannot push to that fork yourself (`gh api "repos/{headRepositoryOwner.login}/{headRepository.name}" --jq '.permissions.push'` does not print `true`), emit `TRACEABILITY: DEGRADED (cannot push to fork)`: the caller skips pushes, while PR comments and body edits still run.
-   - If no PR exists: resolve the default remote branch via `git -C {worktree} rev-parse --abbrev-ref origin/HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed 's|origin/||'`; if that fails, probe common defaults (`main`, then `master`) via `git -C {worktree} rev-parse --verify {default} 2>/dev/null`

+**Mechanics held here:** the whole operation. Steps 1–4a, the PR-host half of step 4b and steps 4c–6 are PR-host mechanics, the same under every provider (written once in `_ops.mds`); step 4b takes its link line and refuses it the same way under every provider; the line itself, `Closes #{n}`, is this provider's.
 
 ### Process
 
 1. Verify on feature branch (not main/master/develop/integration/trunk/release/*/staging/production) - error if not
 2. Check for uncommitted changes. `COMMIT_UNCOMMITTED` is `true` when absent: if any, create atomic commit using `devflow:git` patterns, naming `TASK_ID` when given. When it is `false`, commit nothing — a stray file is not this operation's to commit: list each uncommitted path under `### Uncommitted files` in the output, report `Committed: no` and go on; step 4a opens the PR from HEAD.
 3. Check if branch pushed to remote - if not, push with `-u` flag. If that push is refused and the branch's open PR is cross-repository with maintainer edits off (`gh pr view --json isCrossRepository,maintainerCanModify`), emit `TRACEABILITY: DEGRADED (cannot push to fork)` and go to 4a (4a–4c edit only the PR).
-4a. Check if PR exists - if not, create PR using guidance from (in priority order): (a) `PR_DESCRIPTION_GUIDANCE` if given and not `(none)`, (b) generated from branch context. Compose the PR body via the `devflow:git` template to `$DEVFLOW_BODY_RAW` (a D11 sink: it publishes at repo visibility), then append the caller blocks. Apply the Comment-sink scrub (D11) — a failed one posts neither block; the D11 paragraph below creates the PR. When `BASE_BRANCH` is given, `gh pr create` takes `--base "$BASE_BRANCH"`: bind it to a shell variable and pass that variable as argv, never interpolated.

When `BASE_BRANCH` is given, check it first against the step-5a name check (judge the match by reading; never pass the value to a command). A mismatch ends with Status BLOCKED and no PR, naming only the allowed set. Then run `F="$(mktemp)" && echo "F=$F"`, Read that file, Write `BASE_BRANCH` to it with the Write tool, and Read it back. If the Write tool fails, treat the value as missing; never write it with a shell command. An empty file ends with Status BLOCKED and no PR, after `rm -- "{name file}"`. The PR create runs in the existing D11 shell: bind `F="{name file}"`, then `test -s "$F" && gh pr create … --base="$(cat -- "$F")"`, then, in that same shell and after the last create attempt, `rm -- "$F"`. That `rm` runs when the shell reaches it; an INT or TERM signal skips it and leaves the file in the temp directory. The D11 trap stays unchanged: its rm list does not gain the name file, and no second EXIT trap is armed. A failed `test -s` ends with Status BLOCKED and no PR.
    - **Caller blocks**, in order: `PR_WAVE_BLOCK` (`check wave`), then `PR_TEST_PLAN_BLOCK` (`check block`), each when given and not `(none)`.
