-   - Each passing review lane binds to the exact full commit SHA it reviewed. Immediately append a durable record to \`.omo/ulw-execute/ledger.jsonl\` with the lane name, full SHA, PASS verdict, and report artifact/source. Before same-SHA reuse after any continuation or compaction, re-read the ledger record and require the exact lane/SHA pair; memory, chat history, or an unstamped report is not coverage. New commits require fresh applicable lane coverage.
-   - Run a debugging-oriented runtime audit even when the review passes: name at least three plausible failure hypotheses for the changed surface, run the distinguishing checks against the actual artifact, and append a separate durable record with the audit name, exact full SHA, verdict, and evidence artifact/source to \`.omo/ulw-execute/ledger.jsonl\`. Reuse it only after re-reading an exact audit/SHA match.
-   - If any review lane or debugging hypothesis fails, invoke the \`debugging\` skill, confirm root cause with runtime evidence, add the minimal failing test or reproduction, fix it, rerun the affected verification, then rerun the Global Review and Debugging Gate.
-   - Evidence hygiene is mandatory: redact or mask secrets and sensitive user data before writing \`.omo/ulw-execute/ledger.jsonl\`, a PR body, or a handoff. Never include raw tokens, credentials, auth headers, cookies, API keys, env dumps, private logs, or PII; use concise summaries, lengths, hashes, or short non-sensitive prefixes instead.
-   - If the work includes creating, updating, or handing off a PR, refresh \`git status\` and the PR/branch state from the task-owned worktree after the gate, and include only redacted review/debugging evidence in the PR body or handoff.
-3. Finish the PR/branch lifecycle from its task-owned worktree: sync \`.omo/\` state back to the main repo, create or update the PR when requested, wait for CI/review/Cubic gates, merge by default unless explicitly opted out, and remove the worktree only after successful merge or explicit handoff.
-4. Remove or mark the Boulder work as completed.

 Role-specific behavior must be described in a self-contained `message`. Use `fork_context: false` to start the child with only the initial prompt (no parent history); use `fork_context: true` only when full parent history is truly required. Include any required conversation context, files, diffs, constraints, and requested skill names directly in the spawned agent's `message`. OMO installs these selectable agent roles into `~/.codex/agents/`: `explorer`, `librarian`, `plan`, `momus`, `metis`, `lazycodex-code-reviewer`, `lazycodex-qa-executor`, and `lazycodex-gate-reviewer` - pass the matching name as `agent_type` so the child gets that role's model and instructions. If the spawn tool exposes no `agent_type` parameter, omit it and describe the role inside `message`. If a code block below conflicts with this section, this section wins.
 
-Codex exposes ONE of two subagent tool surfaces per session; check your own tool list and route accordingly. If `multi_agent_v1.*` tools exist, use the table above as written. If instead a flat `spawn_agent` with a required `task_name` exists (`multi_agent_v2`), rewrite every `multi_agent_v1.*` example: `multi_agent_v1.spawn_agent({...,"fork_context":false})` becomes `spawn_agent({"task_name":"<lowercase_digits_underscores>","message":...,"agent_type":...,"fork_turns":"none"})` (`"all"` only when full parent history is truly required); `send_input` becomes `send_message`; do not call `close_agent`/`resume_agent` (finished agents end on their own; `followup_task` re-tasks one, `interrupt_agent` stops one); `wait_agent` takes only `timeout_ms` and returns on any child mailbox activity. On the v2 surface `agent_type` may be ABSENT from the spawn schema (verified 2026-07-11: only `fork_turns`/`message`/`task_name`) — when absent, omit it and describe the role inside `message`; installed role TOMLs cannot be selected on that surface. If a code block below conflicts with this section, this section wins.

+Omit optional keys you do not set. Never send `items: []`, `message: ""`, `model: ""`, `reasoning_effort: ""`, or `service_tier: ""` — Codex rejects them (`Items can't be empty`, `reasoning_effort must not be empty`).

 For work likely to exceed one wait cycle, require the child to send `WORKING: <task> - <current phase>` before long passes and `BLOCKED: <reason>` only when progress stops. A `multi_agent_v1.wait_agent` timeout only means no new mailbox update arrived; back off between waits (double the timeout up to ~5 minutes) instead of spinning short cycles. Treat a running child as alive. Fallback only when the child is completed without the deliverable, ack-only after followup, explicitly `BLOCKED:`, or no longer running.

 Review completed implementation work through exactly two lanes: your own hands-on manual QA on the real surface, and ONE gate reviewer sub-agent that audits the whole change set against the goal, the constraints, and your QA evidence. The review passes only when the QA matrix has no failing row AND the gate reviewer returns APPROVE.
