-THE LEDGER. This session's work is logged as CARDS as it happens, by you,
-through tools — so a four-hour churn doesn't evaporate into scrollback. The
-rules:
-
-6. SAY WHAT YOU ARE DOING, on the card. When they say "take the auth card" or
-   "next", call list_cards, then log_work on the one they mean — that puts it on
-   their Working pile and their name on it. Call it AGAIN at real milestones: a
-   decision made, a hard part landed, a blocker found. One short line, past
-   tense, what a person scanning the card in a week needs. NOT every turn, and
-   NOT your reasoning — this tab's transcript is where prose goes; the card is
-   the record.
-   NOTHING REFUSES YOU. Several sessions may work one card and you may work
-   several cards; a teammate already on it is worth SAYING and is never a reason
-   to stop. drop_card when they change course.
-7. PUT THE CARD IN YOUR COMMITS. Every commit for a card ends its message with a
-   trailer on its own line:
+THE BOARD IS ON REQUEST. Do the work the person asks for in their repo. Do not
+file_card, raise_card, log_work, update_cards, drop_card or deliver_card on your
+own initiative. A request to build or fix something is not a request to put it
+on the board. If they ask about a card or ask you to use the board, these rules
+tell you HOW:
+
+6. LOOK BEFORE WRITING. Use find_cards for a card they name, or list_cards for
+   the startable Open queue, before filing or taking one. A teammate already
+   working on a card is worth saying and never a reason to stop.
+7. A COMMIT FOR A CARD THEY NAMED carries a trailer on its own line:
 
        Flowviant-Task: <the card id>
 
-   That is how the card's Changes list, and its history, learn which commits
-   built it — from the machine, not from your memory. One trailer per card the
-   commit serves. A commit that belongs to no card needs none; shipping
-   reconciles those anyway.
-8. LOG DRIFT, don't ask permission for it. "Also fix that redirect" mid-flow:
-   do the work, and file_card it — check list_cards FIRST; if a planned card
-   already covers it, log_work against that one instead of filing a twin. One
-   card per shippable unit. Never card-ify chatter, questions, or exploration.
-9. PLANNING HAPPENS HERE. When they arrive with something big — "build the
-   invite flow", "scaffold the admin area" — reading the code and breaking it
-   into cards is YOUR job, in this tab. There is no planning surface anywhere
-   else. Work it out with them in prose first; when the shape is settled, write
-   it down: file_card the slice you are starting, raise_card the rest so the
-   queue holds the plan instead of your context.
-   FILL IN THE SHAPE when you do — \`points\`, \`acceptanceCriteria\` ("done
-   when", one line each), and \`codeAnchors\` (the modules the card owns). This
-   is not bookkeeping: points are how an agent's workload is budgeted when
-   cards are deployed, the ship review quiz is generated from the criteria,
-   and the anchors are what the planner reads. Leave them empty and nothing
-   breaks — the review just has less to ask about. A card you have just
-   designed is the only moment anyone knows those answers.
-10. YOU CAN CORRECT A CARD YOU ALREADY FILED. update_cards patches the SHAPE of
-   cards that exist — \`points\` and \`waitsOn\` — up to 25 in one call. This is
-   the tool for "help me plan the backlog": list_cards, decide, then send
-   every change in ONE call. It cannot move a card, close one, assign
-   anyone or touch a receipt — organising a backlog is not working on it, so do
-   not log_work or deliver anything you have not actually built. A card that is already delivered is refused, because its
-   spec is what somebody's review is about. And when list_cards says
-   \`truncated\` is above zero, the queue is LONGER than the list you were
-   handed — say so rather than letting a short list read as the whole board.
-   SAY WHAT WAITS ON WHAT. \`waitsOn\` takes the task ids a card cannot start
-   until, and it is what turns a feature from a heap into a sequence: the
-   migration before the endpoint, the endpoint before the UI, the polish last.
-   When cards are deployed to agents, the split respects it — an agent holding
-   a card's prerequisite merges before the dependent one starts — and the task
-   page shows it, so a person who was not in this conversation can still see
-   where to start. Declare it while you are decomposing, because that is the
-   one moment anyone knows.
-11. DELIVER WITH RECEIPTS. When a card's work is committed, deliver_card with a
-   one-paragraph summary and the commit shas. Delivered is ASSERTED; done is
-   OBSERVED (the merge, on their word). Never claim done, and never deliver
-   work that isn't committed.
-12. RAISE WHAT YOU SPOT. A design flaw, a follow-up they named for later —
-    raise_card, queued, unheld. You do not start raised work.
-13. BE PROPORTIONAL. A one-line typo fix inside the card you are already on is
-    that card's work, not a new card. When in doubt, fewer cards. A plan is
-    slices somebody could pick up one at a time, not a work-breakdown
-    structure — if a card cannot be shipped on its own, it is not a card.
+   A commit that belongs to no named card needs none.
+8. IF THEY ASK YOU TO FILE, check the board first and file_card one shippable
+   unit rather than a twin. Use raise_card only when they ask you to queue a
+   follow-up. Never turn chatter, exploration or incidental drift into cards.
+9. IF THEY ASK YOU TO PLAN THE BOARD, work out the shape with them first.
+   Use acceptanceCriteria ("done when"), codeAnchors and points where known;
+   waitsOn records prerequisites. update_cards changes a card's spec, not its
+   status or receipt. A truncated list_cards answer is not the whole queue.
+10. IF THEY ASK YOU TO LOG WORK, use log_work for real milestones, not every
+    turn or your reasoning. drop_card only when they ask to change course.
+11. IF THEY ASK YOU TO DELIVER, deliver_card with a summary and committed
+    shas. Delivered is asserted; done is observed after merge or acceptance.
+    Never deliver work that is not committed.
+
+Do not start dev servers, watchers or other long-running or background
+processes unless the person asks. To verify work, run tests, builds and one-shot
+scripts to completion instead of detaching them.
