+- **Exactly one closing order per run** — `ask`, `publish`, `blocked` or `done` — and the run ends
+  right after it: no further phase starts. The one write that follows it is its own result in
+  `meta.json` — `publish` marking what it published (`/flow-feat-ship`) — inside the work folder,
+  never committed. A closing order that exits ≠ 0 → print its stderr in the
+  stop header and end; **never try another closing order** in its place, and never retry a question
+  as a different one.
+- **Free text travels in files, never on the command line.** Question, options (one per line, the

+  (`ask-question.md`, `ask-options.md`, `publish-title.md`, `publish-body.md`, `blocked-reason.md`,
+  `done-summary.md`) — or a `mktemp -d` directory before the folder exists — and passed by path. A
+  backtick or a quote in a ticket title must never meet a shell.
+- **The orchestrator pushes and opens the MR/PR; the run never does.** No `git push`, no `gh`, no
+  `glab`, no tracker write in this mode — not before `ship`, not in it. The orchestrator also keeps,
+  between runs, the work folder as the run left it and the work branch at the commit where it
+  stopped; the run trusts that and does not re-check it.
+- **Before any closing order, commit** what this run left uncommitted outside `.claude/work/`, new
+  files included (`WIP <TICKET>: before <gate|order>` — `auto`'s WIP authority): the orchestrator
+  keeps only what is committed. **Only on the work branch**: before it exists (`start` refusing a
+  dirty checkout) nothing is committed — the dirt is the orchestrator's to clear. A clean-tree check never counts `.claude/work/` — the flow's own
+  folder.

+Each place a command would have asked resolves one of these ways:
 
 - **record** — take the resolution the table names, write it where the phase keeps its decisions,
   add `{ "key": "unattended:<site>", "default": "<resolution>", "phase": "<phase>" }` to
   `meta.json.defaults_used[]` (the prefix says it is not a FLOW key), and continue.

-  `question` ↔ `wait`, `blocked` ↔ `block`, `done` ↔ `done`, `running` and `picked_up` ↔ absent.
-  Set both in the same step.
-- `work`, `branch`, `worktree`: where the person picks it up — `null` for the ones that do not exist
-  yet when `start` stops early.
-- `gate`: the site's id from the table, or `null`. `question` and `options` carry the whole question,
-  the recommended option first — whoever reads it has not seen this session.
-- `done` is written when the run's work is over: the MR/PR created (`mr_url` set; with a train,
-  `detail` says which MR/PR comes next and what it waits on), or a phase that finds nothing to do
-  (every MR/PR merged, a work already shipped) — `detail` says which. **No unattended phase ends
-  with `running` in the file**: every ending is one of `question`, `blocked` or `done`.
-- `id`, `head`, `resume`, `resume_at`, `free_text`, `answer_rejected` belong to a `question`; every
-  other reason writes them `null`.

-    `<work>:<phase>:<gate>:<first 7 of head>:<first 7 of the sha1 of question>`
-    — hashed from the exact string written as `question`, through a file, never through shell
-    interpolation (backticks in the text would run). The commit binds an answer to its MR/PR — the next
-    MR/PR has commits of its own — and the phase and the question text keep two questions asked
-    at one commit apart.
-  - `resume` = the command to relaunch, as this harness invokes it; `resume_at` = where that
-    command re-enters. Both come from the re-entry table below, never improvised.
-  - `free_text`: `true` only where the table allows a free answer; a question with no options
-    (`clarify`) writes `options: []`.
-  - `answer_rejected`: `null`, or the check an answer failed — `malformed` · `id` · `command` ·
-    `head` · `option`.

-  rejected answer keeps it.
-
-**Every phase that starts in this mode writes `reason: "running"` first** — the whole file, `work`,
-`branch` and `worktree` included — unless it holds a `question`, for this work or any other: no
-person has answered it yet, and the file is the only record of it, so say so and end the run,
-touching nothing — **unless the runner brought its answer** (below). One question at a time per
-repository. (A `blocked` is overwritten: running
-again *is* its retry, once the runner has fixed what it named.) A run that dies therefore leaves
-`running` behind. For the runner: `running` at exit is a crash; a `question` older than the run's
-own start is the earlier stop, still waiting, and the run refused to go past it.
-
-**A person picks it up in any other mode.** `/flow-work-resume` names the pending stop in its
-recap, and **the next phase that runs on that work** (`stop.json.work` is this one — never another
-work's) **asks it first** — the question, verbatim, with its options — before doing anything else,
-then overwrites the file with `reason: "picked_up"`. The answer decides what happens next, as any
-answer does: *go on* → the phase goes on; *change the design*, *fix them* → the phase does that
-instead (back to `design`, fix and review again). A `ship` question is not replayed: `ship`'s own
-preview asks it, fresh. **The person's session must not itself be `unattended`**: set the mode where
-only the runner reads it — a FLOW file the runner's own environment writes (its container, its CI
-checkout), or the overlay of a harness only the runner uses. `/flow-doctor` says which file the
-mode came from.
-A person's pickup deletes an `answer.json` it finds, in the same step as `picked_up`: a runner must
-not apply an answer to a question a person already took.
-
-**A runner answers, and the run continues.** The runner writes `.claude/work/answer.json`, beside
-the stop file, and relaunches `resume` on `branch` at `head` — in `worktree` when it still exists,
-otherwise at the checkout root: a recorded worktree that no longer exists (a fresh container) is
-not an error; the phase works in place and sets `meta.json.worktree` to `null`. Keeping that commit
-between runs — the same clone, the branch pushed, a bundle beside its own
-state — is the runner's job; the run pushes nothing before `ship`.

 - Read `meta.json` and `00-summary.md`; open in full only `03-investigation.md` (§3 areas with similar risk, and the minimal reproduction) — the testing agent reads it and `04-fix.md` itself. (flow-core §5)
 - Require `fix` in `phases_done`.
 - `size` `XS` → suggest skipping to `/flow-bug-review` unless the user insists.
