 ## Operating rules
 - Update the spec when needed, but never plan around a known-wrong assumption.
-- If a change alters product behavior, scope, architecture, data model, UX, security,
-  or migration risk → search facts first, then route the human-owned contract decision
-  through `/rite-clarify` (using the Spec Drift Guard). Reversible technical repair is
-  agent-owned and must not become a question.
 - Keep each slice small enough for one focused build → prove cycle.
-- **Slice count is derived, never dictated:** reslice when a slice fails the sizing rule
-  (multiple "and"s, can't build+prove in one cycle), not to hit a user-named tally. A
-  requested count is a hint at most; slice logically and explain if it differs. See
-  [`reference/slicing.md`](reference/slicing.md) ("How many slices?").
+- **Derive slice count:** reslice when work cannot build+prove in one cycle, not to hit a
+  requested tally. Treat counts as hints and explain honest differences; see
+  [`slicing.md`](reference/slicing.md).
 - **Size by complexity, order by dependency.** A slice carries a `Complexity: N/5` score (from
   `/rite-define`); a slice scoring **>3** is a reslice trigger unless its inline reason justifies
   the irreducible complexity. Honor each slice's `depends_on:`: the next *buildable* slice is the
   lowest pending one whose dependencies are all built. This preserves one-slice-at-a-time execution.
 - **Root writes; drafter proposes.** Follow
   [`agents.md`](../devrites-lib/reference/standards/agents.md). The controlling chat owns
-  human questions, decisions, reconciliation, and all planning-artifact writes.
