If that role is unavailable, stop for HITL; never skip it, never substitute a generic/default child, and never execute the specialist role in the root context.
 - The root uses the workspace-capable `devrites-orchestrator` profile because Codex children cannot elevate above the parent permission ceiling. This permission is for native writer dispatch and exact path-bounded executable workflow artifacts under the active `.devrites/work/<slug>/`; the root must never edit product source or tests itself.

Exact paths are instruction-enforced: put the project-relative paths in the task, wait for the wright, compare its file list and `git diff --name-only` with that contract, and reject any extra path. Never bypass the wright, widen its contract, or edit source in the root; the root must never recreate an engine dispatch bridge.
