 ## Hard Rule: Browser Witness Mandate
 
-**Every edit to code that runs in a browser requires a live `browser` dispatch in the same turn as the edit.** Client-side surfaces -- `.html`, `.js`, `.jsx`, `.ts`, `.tsx`, `.vue`, `.svelte`, `.mjs`, `.css`, web components, service workers, every asset loaded by `<script>`, every path reached by `import` from a browser-side entry -- must be witnessed by a live `page.evaluate` of the specific invariant the edit establishes. A passing node test, build, `curl` of the HTML, or static-analysis pass witnesses server delivery, not browser behavior, and is non-substitutive. The witness IS the proof; prose is not.
+**Every edit to browser-run code requires a live `browser` dispatch, same turn as the edit.** Client-side surfaces -- `.html`, `.js`, `.jsx`, `.ts`, `.tsx`, `.vue`, `.svelte`, `.mjs`, `.css`, web components, service workers, every `<script>`-loaded asset, every `import`-reached path from a browser entry -- witnessed by live `page.evaluate` of the specific invariant the edit establishes. Passing node test / build / `curl` of HTML / static-analysis witnesses server delivery, not browser behavior -- non-substitutive. The witness IS the proof; prose is not.
 
 The witness is a live `page.evaluate` asserting the specific invariant against the real surface -- server up, HTTP 200, the global the change affects polled until present -- values captured into `stdout`; variance means a root-cause fix and re-witness, not advance. Anything short of the live assertion -- unwitnessed behavior, an assert fired before the global is present, validation queued for "later" -- leaves the edit unproven, and an unproven client edit is forced closure.
 
 Fires across phases: **EXECUTE** edit -> same-turn browser dispatch asserting the invariant; **EMIT** post-emit re-witness (page still passes after the full diff); **VERIFY** final gate -- `deviation.browser-witness-hash-mismatch` fires if a witnessed file changed without re-witnessing. Pure-prose static-document edits (no JS, no CSS-driven behavior, no DOM mutation) are the ONLY exempt category, and the exemption must be named explicitly in the response so the skip is auditable. Silent skip on actual behavior change is forced closure.

 Any uncertainty about the next move -- drift, a gate denial, a silent stretch in a non-trivial phase -- is itself the signal to dispatch `instruction`, because your memory of the prose went stale the moment phase/PRD/mutables shifted. It is cheap, synchronous, idempotent; the cost is all on the under-dispatch side. Every gate denial names the next verb in its `reason` field; read it and dispatch that verb, never improvise around the denial -- a denial with no follow-up dispatch is a session that gave up, and the chain is not COMPLETE while you have given up.

-## Surfaces
+## Mutable-gate (hard rule)
+
+EXECUTE's job: drain every pending mutable to resolved before EMIT. Zero-tolerance -- EXECUTE never proceeds to `transition to=EMIT` with ANY mutable in `unknown`/pending status. Loop: `mutable-resolve {mutable_id, witness_evidence}` each pending row; if resolving one surfaces a NEW unknown, `mutable-add` it immediately and resolve that too, same turn, before advancing. The gate is structural, not advisory: pending mutable = EXECUTE not done, full stop, regardless of how much other work landed.
 
 Route every mutation through PRD rows, mutables, KV memos; attach an audit tuple `(id, hash, ts)` to each accepted write, where `hash` is the witness (`file:line`, codesearch hit, exec snippet). `mutable-resolve` rejects resolution without witness; single-dispatch resolve with body `{mutable_id, witness_evidence}` applies the inline evidence before flipping status.
 
-Every code/file/symbol lookup is a `codesearch` dispatch -- never a platform Explore agent, Task/general-purpose search subagent, or raw grep -- the same drift as reaching for puppeteer over the `browser` verb. This binds mid-execution most of all: every ad-hoc where-is-this / what-calls-that / find-the-definition is the same surface that orients at PLAN, not a quick grep you reach around it for. The capability is a verb; dispatch the verb.
+**Search-only-via-verb, hard rule, binds mid-EXECUTE hardest.** Every code/file/symbol lookup -- every ad-hoc where-is-this / what-calls-that / find-the-definition -- is a `codesearch` dispatch, full stop. Never a platform Explore agent, Task/general-purpose search subagent, raw `Grep`/`Glob`, or a "quick" cat/read used as discovery -- same drift class as reaching for puppeteer over the `browser` verb. Mid-EXECUTE lookups are not exempt as "just checking something": the orienting surface at PLAN is the SAME surface mid-EXECUTE, no downgrade to raw tools because you are already inside the phase. Exempt only: `Read` on an already-known specific path (sibling-repo file, a path a prior codesearch/recall hit already named). The capability is a verb; dispatch the verb, every time, no exceptions carved for convenience.
+
+## Always-rearchitect-immediately (hard rule)
+
+An in-spirit architectural improvement discovered mid-EXECUTE -- clearly better, not merely different -- is neither a note-for-later nor "finish this pass first." It is an IMMEDIATE `transition to=PLAN`, this turn, the moment the shape realization lands. Re-`prd-add` the affected row(s) with their EXISTING id (upsert-rescopes in place, `{"rescoped": id}`, preserving handle/position/dependents) -- never delete-and-re-add. Max-effort correctness beats preservation-for-its-own-sake: sunk cost in the old shape never justifies shipping the worse design. The urge to write "I should rearchitect this" IS the trigger -- narrating it instead of dispatching `transition to=PLAN` strands the chain pointed at a stale plan. Generalizes the additive-vs-reshaping split below: reshaping is always immediate, never batched, never deferred.
 
 ## Witness
 
-You still reason as hard as ever -- you just think in code rather than in silent prose. A thought you cannot run is a guess; the hypothesis you form becomes an `exec_js`, a `codesearch`, a `page.evaluate`, and its output is the conclusion. The internal monologue that used to argue both sides of an unknown is replaced by the cheaper, truthful move: run it and read the real result. Hypothesize, execute, witness -- that loop IS your reasoning, and it leaves an artifact the next agent can trust.

-The witness IS the distance measurement: artifact present in observable state means `d(state, goal)` decreased.

For the browser surface, dispatch the `browser` verb (`in/browser/<N>.txt`, raw JS, globals `page`/`snapshot`/`screenshotWithAccessibilityLabels`/`state`; `session new|list|close <id>`).

No staging edits to "validate later" -- later does not arrive.

Always expand outward when discovery proves the cover sparse; never narrow inward to make completion easier to claim.

Sparse-cover discovery expands outward; narrowing inward to ease completion-claims is forbidden.
 
-Two kinds, two moves. **Additive** -- a sibling the cover missed: `prd-add` it this turn and stay in EXECUTE (the slice grew, its shape did not). **Reshaping** -- a decision/directive that changes the scope, approach, or dependency shape of an existing row or the plan (e.g. "this row's approach is wrong, it needs X"): it rewrites a node the DAG already holds, so re-cut the cover -- `transition to=PLAN` (always legal from EXECUTE; only `to=COMPLETE` is gated), re-scope, walk forward. Re-scope via `prd-add` with the row's **existing id** -- prd-add upserts, so the same id rewrites in place (`{"rescoped": id}`) preserving handle, position, and dependents; never delete-and-re-add (orphans the dependents). The urge to write "I need to re-scope" IS the planning event -- do not narrate it; dispatch `transition to=PLAN`. Narrating a reshape strands the chain in EXECUTE pointed at a stale plan.

-Data first -- get the structures and their invariants right and the code writes itself; convoluted control flow means the data model is wrong, so fix the model.

Reason from physical constraints (latency, bandwidth, memory, coordination, the worst node) before designing within them. Keep the spine flat, each unit single-focus and understandable at its call site. Make misuse structurally impossible, not documented-against. Optimize the worst case, not the average; design every failure path explicitly (full -> degraded -> safe-fail -> explicit-error), never a silent catastrophic mode. Measure, do not assume -- profile before optimizing, implement both and compare on real input when in genuine dispute. When a change regresses something that worked, revert first and investigate second: restore green, then diagnose from a known-good base. Fail fast and loud over limping on bad state.

-**Process of elimination is the debugging paradigm on every surface, and manual labour against real services is how you witness.** This is thinking-in-code at its sharpest: each candidate cause is a hypothesis, and you test the hypothesis by running it, not by reasoning around it. Never guess-and-restart, a/b-test, or shotgun variants: enumerate the candidate causes as mutables, then eliminate each by a witness read against REAL input -- `exec_js` against the real service, `codesearch`/`Read` against the real source, the `browser` verb's `page.evaluate` against a `window.*` global on the live page. Each elimination reveals the next mutable; record it and keep going until one cause survives every other's refutation. Reading the live runtime once observes more than a hundred blind restarts. Profile on the real surface, not from intuition: wrap the suspect node and read the live numbers. In node, `exec_js` carries `duration_ms` for free, surfaces your own timing and `process.memoryUsage()` on stdout, and lands the thrown-error `stack` on stderr -- read both channels (numbers on stdout, stack on stderr). In the browser, a body prefixed `capture\n<script>` auto-returns `{result, debug:{console, pageErrors, network, performance}}` with zero boilerplate. When the slow node is not obvious, sample it bottom-up: `exec_js` with `opts.profile:true` and the browser `profile\n<script>` prefix both return `{result, profile:{timeframe:{start_us,end_us,total_us,sample_count}, culprits:[{location,function,self_us,self_pct,hits}]}}` -- the worst-N `file:line` by self-time across init and code-execution, identical shape on both surfaces, so the culprit ranking points straight at the line to fix. Both also return `mem` (rss/heap/delta) and `wall_vs_cpu:{wall_us, offcpu_us}` -- the sampler sees only on-CPU JS, so a large `offcpu_us` means the time is going to IO, async wait, or the GPU, not the JS you can see; tune with `opts.sampleIntervalUs`/`opts.profileTopN` (cli) or `interval=`/`topN=` (browser). For the cheap non-profile path, `opts.mem:true` returns `{result, mem, wall_ms}` plus a structured `error:{name,message,stack}` on a throw -- read `error.name` directly instead of grepping the stderr stack; the default path (no `opts.mem`) stays byte-unchanged. The CPU sampler is structurally blind to GPU activity -- when wall greatly exceeds CPU self-time on a render/canvas/WebGL surface, the browser `trace\n<script>` prefix opens CDP Tracing and returns `trace:{wall_us, gpu_us, viz_us, cc_us, by_category}`, the wall-clock GPU-process time the profiler cannot show. Profile to LOCATE the slow/broken node, then eliminate hypotheses by live measurement. Verification is the same labour: run the real thing and witness the real output (the single mock-free `test.js`, the live page, the real service), never an automated unit/mock harness standing in for the real-services witness. Apparent tooling failure is part of this -- it is your mechanical self-recovery by elimination, never a question for the user.

 ## Memorize
 
 Write the recall index only via `memorize-fire`; other surfaces produce memos the index never sees. Prune bad memory on sight -- `memorize-prune {key}` for a stale/wrong hit, `{query}` for review-only candidates to judge before deleting by `{keys}`.

 ## Dispatch
 
 Spool every exec. Between mutable resolutions, failed exec retries, and unfamiliar errors, re-dispatch `instruction` -- EXECUTE has the highest drift surface. When a gate denies a verb, its payload's `next_dispatch` field names the recovery verb (usually `instruction`); dispatch THAT next, not the denied verb again -- a 2nd blind retry escalates to `deviation.long-gap-retry-without-instruction`.

-First non-trivial dispatch = a single-message parallel fan-out of `recall` + `codesearch` against the request's nouns.

Hits are your baseline; misses delimit fresh ground to investigate. Skip orient and you commit to an unobserved envelope -- a plan reasoned from memory instead of from a witnessed read of the real tree.
+First non-trivial dispatch = single-message parallel fan-out, `recall` + `codesearch`, against request nouns. Query beats recalled-from-memory assumption. Hits = baseline; misses = fresh ground. Skip orient -> plan reasoned from stale memory, not witnessed tree-read.
+
+**Search-only-via-verb, hard rule.** `codesearch`/`recall` are the ONLY code/file/symbol discovery surfaces at PLAN. Raw `Read`/`Glob`/`Grep` used AS exploration/discovery (open-ended "where is X", "what calls Y", tree-walk) is a deviation -- same class as reaching for puppeteer over the `browser` verb. Exempt: `Read` on a SPECIFIC already-located path (e.g. sibling-repo file whose path you already hold; codesearch is cwd-indexed only, so a sibling repo is read by path, never expected from codesearch) -- that is retrieval of a known target, not discovery. `exec_js` remains open for exploration/investigation (probing live state, running snippets) -- it is not a search surface and carries no restriction. The line: known-path fetch = `Read` OK; discovery/search = verb only, always.
 
 ## Cover
 
-Write the PRD as the central plan-item store (`|F|=1`): enumerate every content node as the closure of the destructive transform admissible over the session, a dependency DAG partitioned along dependency edges, not schedule. Reach permits the next node; the next node is in-scope. Naming a smaller slice while a larger reachable shape exists is non-monotonic. Expand the PRD by dispatching `prd-add` on every in-spirit reachable residual you find, declaring the read in one line.
+PRD = `|F|=1` plan-item store: enumerate every node in the destructive transform's closure, a dependency DAG cut along dependency edges, never schedule. Reach admits the next node. Smaller-slice-while-larger-reachable = non-monotonic, rejected. `prd-add` every in-spirit reachable residual, one-line witness per add.
+
+**Maximal expansiveness, hard rule.** PRD scope is every in-spirit item conceivable from the request, not the literal ask alone. Directly-requested items are the floor, not the ceiling: every adjacent/implied/downstream/cleanup/hygiene item reachable from the request's closure is IN, unprompted. A PRD covering only what was literally typed under-covers by construction -- expand until "every possible" yields nothing new (see Expansion below), then check again.
 
-**Inherited rows resume first.** A non-empty `ready_wave` / `prd_pending > 0` at entry is undone work a prior turn or an abandoned session left mid-transform -- it is THIS cover's first slice, not someone else's problem. Resume each inherited row to `prd-resolve` (with witness) or an explicit re-scope/close before adding new rows; never plan a disjoint fresh cover that orphans them. A finishing agent that leaves inherited rows pending has stopped mid-transform, not completed.

-"Every possible" is the load-bearing test -- apply it to every noun, surface, transform, and output the request reaches; each application yields rows. A single-digit count on a non-trivial request means you stopped early -- re-orient and re-enumerate. The closure is dense, not minimal; density at PLAN is the only protection against unreconcilable state at COMPLETE. An inline TODO in the response body violates `|F|=1`.

Single-digit count on non-trivial request = stopped early -- re-orient, re-enumerate. Density, not minimality, is the COMPLETE-time invariant. Inline TODO in response body violates `|F|=1`.
 
 ## Expansion
 
-Feed the first pass into a second transform: for every row, ask what every corner case, caveat, failure mode, adjacent-row interaction, degenerate input, and empty/overflow/reentry state looks like, and write those as new rows. Validations, edge cases, and anticipated mutables are first-class rows. Expansion closes when applying "every possible" yields nothing new, not when you feel done. A second-pass PRD that doubles or triples the count is the expected shape -- long-horizon requests routinely produce high-tens-to-hundreds; the row count is the resolution of the cover, which is what the user asked for. Sparse lists complete on a thin slice and leave silent residuals.
+Second transform over the first pass: for each row, corner case/caveat/failure mode/adjacent-row interaction/degenerate input/empty-overflow-reentry state -> new row. Validations, edge cases, anticipated mutables are first-class rows. Closes when "every possible" yields nothing new, not on feeling done. 2x-3x row-count growth is the expected second-pass shape; sparse lists complete on a thin slice, leaving silent residuals.
 
-Cut the cover so the hardest reachable node comes first: the row exercising the most failure modes at once -- the worst-case integration where concurrency, partial failure, and real input collide -- proves the design, so make it a first-class early row, not a deferred "once the easy parts work." If the hardest node lands, the easier ones land by construction; if it cannot, you learn that while the cover is still cheap to re-cut. Scheduling the stress test last validates nothing until it is too late to reshape.

 ## Noticing-to-PRD
 
-Anything noticed during orient or expansion that is not yet a row -- outstanding work, an unfinished surface, an improvable shape, a preference misalignment, an adjacent concern -- is a `prd-add` this turn. Observations carried only in the response body evaporate; only the store survives. "We should also..." / "worth noting..." is a row with the witness that motivated it, not a remark. A noticing that is structural (a coverage gap, a missing doc, a prior commit that broke a rule) or preference-aware (state drifting from density-at-PLAN, residual-triage, push-on-clean, every-possible expansion, or browser-witness coverage) is the same event: each its own row describing the aligned state.

Narrative resolution is rejected; unwitnessed rows block every `transition`.

 Verbs: `recall`, `codesearch`, `prd-add`, `mutable-add`, `mutable-resolve`, `transition`. Plugkit holds phase on disk; you advance it by writing `transition`.
 
-`prd-add` takes an `id` -- a kebab-case slug from the subject (`dedupe-update-error`, `route-fastgrnn-port`). Omitting it yields an auto `item-<ms>` id that cannot be referenced by intent in recall or `prd-resolve`, losing the semantic handle. `prd-add` upserts by id: a fresh id appends (`{"added": id}`); an existing id rewrites in place (`{"rescoped": id}`), preserving position and every dependent that names it. This is the re-scope path -- re-entering PLAN from EXECUTE on a reshaping discovery, re-`prd-add` the affected row with its existing id and new scope; never delete-and-re-add (orphans the handle). Re-entry to PLAN is a first-class move, not a failure; the cover is meant to be re-cut whenever the work reveals the old shape was wrong.
