The final snapshot is post-reset (`hardLock: false`, `count: 1`). Hard lock is only an interactive observation with no retained blocked-tool trace; reflection was operator-seeded, then agent-rewritten. Agent-controlled state deletion resets the breaker, so do not claim durable hard enforcement or behavioral effectiveness. `.mjs` auto-discovery is broken on this host version. Global scope, npm-package installation, and other host versions remain unverified.

 ## Non-Negotiable Change Rules
 
-1. **Every canonical SKILL.md keeps ≤ 500 tokens** (hard CI gate) and must contain `## USE FOR:` and `## DO NOT USE FOR:` sections. Deep detail goes in the skill's `references/` or `guides/`.
-2. **Descriptions are routing surfaces.** Two skills whose descriptions overlap enough that a router cannot distinguish them will fail `test:collision`. When adding a skill, differentiate its description from near neighbors deliberately.
-3. **A new canonical skill ships with a routing eval** (`evals/<skill>/eval.yaml` + positive/negative tasks). The positive task's `description:` field must carry the skill's exact frontmatter description — waza's deterministic matcher requires it verbatim.
-4. **Release version policy:** normal PRs do not manually bump package/plugin versions. `semantic-release` determines the next stable SemVer from Conventional Commits on `main`, and `scripts/sync-release-version.js` owns distribution-version synchronization. Skill frontmatter versions remain release metadata and must never exceed the package version's numeric base. Nested sub-skills (`<skill>/<sub>/SKILL.md`) inherit the parent skill's version and must always match it.
-5. **Distribution manifests are generated facts, not opinions:** if you add/remove/rename a canonical skill, update/sync every distribution that copies or lists it. Run `npm run plugin:sync`, `npm run test:consistency`, and `npm run test:plugin:openai` rather than updating only `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`.
-6. **Platform capability claims are tested contracts.** If host integration behavior changes, update `docs/platform-capabilities.md` and every affected current-state surface in the same change. Never turn package/mechanism evidence into a live-host claim, and never describe public Skills-only behavior as if it includes local lifecycle hooks.
-7. **Runtime/workflow claims are generated facts.** `package.json`, `.nvmrc`, `Dockerfile`, and active `.github/workflows/*.yml` are parsed by `scripts/repository-contract.js`. After changing them, run `npm run docs:sync`; `test:repo-contract` rejects stale generated docs, unsupported action majors, Node runtimes below the support floor, or loss of the Node 22 compatibility lane.
-8. **CHANGELOG.md keeps pending human-authored notes under `[Unreleased]`.** Do not create new alpha/beta/rc release headings; semantic-release owns stable release headings, tags, and release notes.
-9. **Conventional Commit type is release input.** The final commit/squash title that lands on `main` must follow the convention. Breaking changes release major; `feat` releases minor; `fix`, `perf`, `refactor`, `build`, and `revert` release patch; `docs`, `test`, `ci`, `style`, and `chore` do not release by themselves.
-10. **Router suggestions are mandatory to evaluate, advisory to execute.** Before skipping any suggested skill, read its complete `SKILL.md` entry and evaluate `USE FOR`, `DO NOT USE FOR`, workflow/basic flow, and hard rules. A name/description/router summary or “routine task” judgement is not enough. Using one suggestion does not waive read-before-skip for other omissions; unreadable suggestions are `unresolved/unavailable`, not silent skips. Do not turn this into a fixed TODO/TDD/Fable execution pipeline.
+1. **Every canonical SKILL.md keeps ≤ 500 tokens** (hard CI gate) and must contain `## USE FOR:` and `## DO NOT USE FOR:`. Deep detail goes in references/guides.
+2. **Descriptions are routing surfaces.** Differentiate neighboring skills deliberately; `test:collision` guards overlap.
+3. **A new canonical skill ships with a routing eval.** Positive task `description:` must exactly match the skill frontmatter description.
+4. **Release version policy:** normal PRs do not manually bump package/plugin versions. `semantic-release` owns stable SemVer and `scripts/sync-release-version.js` owns distribution synchronization. Nested sub-skills inherit their parent skill version.
+5. **Distribution manifests are generated facts:** add/remove/rename changes must sync every copied/listed distribution. Run `npm run plugin:sync`, `npm run test:consistency`, and `npm run test:plugin:openai`.
+6. **Platform capability claims are tested contracts.** Update `docs/platform-capabilities.md` with integration behavior changes. Package/mechanism evidence is not live-host evidence, and public Skills-only behavior does not include local lifecycle hooks.
+7. **Runtime/workflow claims are generated facts.** `package.json`, `.nvmrc`, Dockerfile, and active workflows feed `scripts/repository-contract.js`; run `npm run docs:sync` after relevant changes.
+8. **CHANGELOG.md keeps pending human-authored notes under `[Unreleased]`.** Semantic-release owns stable headings/tags/release notes.
+9. **Conventional Commit type is release input.** Breaking→major; `feat`→minor; `fix`/`perf`/`refactor`/`build`/`revert`→patch; docs/test/ci/style/chore do not release by themselves.
+10. **Selected workflow is mandatory; reasoning inside it stays flexible.** Before omitting a suggested skill, read/evaluate its complete `SKILL.md` flow. Suggested skills may be `not-applicable` with a flow-grounded reason, but a selected topology must be executed to resolution. Do not bypass it because the task feels simple/routine/already clear. Escape is limited to genuinely uncovered workflow scope or host-capability loss and requires explicit scope + evidence. Do not turn this into one universal TODO/TDD/Fable sequence.
+11. **Major mutation requires Git worktree isolation.** Read-only discovery may stay in the bound repository. Tier 3 / Fable source and artifact changes must target a verified linked worktree belonging to that repository; creation failure means `blocked`. Worktree isolation is separate from durable multi-agent workspace state. Scoped escape never waives it. See [workflow-runtime.md](docs/workflow-runtime.md) for the tested boundary and limitations.

+
+### Fixed
+
+- Make selected workflows persist across follow-up prompts, bind Fable runs to workflow/session identities, and require correlated stage evidence before completion (#131, #142).
+- Enforce major-workflow Git worktree isolation at supported mutation hooks, check direct/patch targets and explicit shell paths, and retain isolation across scoped escape and blocked states.
+- Provide bounded run entry/replan and per-stage escape commands; expose unsupported hosts and shell-sandbox limits without upgrading live-host evidence.
