 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)

That `rm` runs when the shell reaches it; an INT or TERM signal skips it and leaves the file in the temp directory.
