+
+## Claude Code Surface Map for Executors
+
+Start-work is where an approved plan becomes edits, so the executor must know
+which LitClaude surfaces are policy text, which are runtime files, and which are
+host capabilities. Begin by reading the plugin manifest at
+`plugins/litclaude/.claude-plugin/plugin.json` when package or skill visibility
+matters. That manifest tells Claude Code which commands, skills, agents, hooks,
+MCP server, and LSP helpers are intended to ship. Do not infer installation
+state from the source tree alone: when the work touches installation or package
+payload, pair source inspection with `npm run validate:plugin`, `npm run doctor`,
+and package payload checks. When the work touches only skill text or tests, keep
+the gate narrower, but still remember that skill text is an executable policy
+surface for future Claude sessions.
+
+Command files under `plugins/litclaude/commands/` are user-facing activation
+surfaces. They may route a user to a skill, but they cannot secretly perform a
+second slash command. Hook code under `plugins/litclaude/bin/` receives JSON and
+must parse it as untrusted input. Agent files under `plugins/litclaude/agents/`
+define role contracts, not magic authority. MCP and LSP helpers are optional
+runtime helpers whose availability must be proved in the current host. The
+executor should therefore record a capability note before editing: command route
+seen, skill body read, hook entry point checked when relevant, agent role used or
+not used, MCP/LSP availability checked or out of scope, and package validation
+needed or not needed. This note prevents a common failure: claiming a Claude Code
+surface works because the documentation says it should, while the local host or
+installed payload has not been exercised.
+
+Native goal fallback belongs in the same capability note. If `get_goal`,
+`create_goal`, and `update_goal` are visible, use them conservatively and avoid
+clobbering a different active goal. If they are not visible, say once that the
+run is in degraded mode for native goal binding, give the user a ready-to-paste
+`/goal` or noninteractive `claude -p "/goal ..."` line, and continue with the
+LitClaude ledger. Do not repeat the degraded-mode message after every task; the
+ledger is the operative state. The important distinction is honesty: the plan
+can still complete without native goal tools, but the final DoneClaim must not
+pretend that native goal state was updated.
+
+Dynamic workflow, native team mode, and Dynamic worktree behavior are also
+capability-gated. A broad plan can recommend a workflow, but the executor should
+only say a workflow was launched after the host actually exposes and accepts it.
+Native team behavior requires the environment gate documented above and
+user-approved teammate roles. Dynamic worktrees are valuable for isolated lanes,
+yet they are still file-system mutations; do not create one when the approved
+slice forbids changes outside a path. If worktree isolation is unavailable or out
+of scope, keep one root executor, use precise file scopes, and note that the
+worktree lane was skipped by constraint rather than by oversight.
+
+## Evidence Ledger Detail
+
+The start-work ledger is not a diary of intentions. Each useful entry carries a
+small amount of durable evidence: objective, selected checkbox, files read,
+stale state refreshed, RED output or reason no new RED was applicable, GREEN
+command, surface probe, cleanup receipt, and next unchecked task. When the run is
+interrupted, the next Claude session should be able to recover from the ledger
+without trusting memory. If a command output is too long, record the command,
+exit status, decisive lines, and artifact path. If a command is skipped, record
+the reason and the narrower substitute. If a user constraint overrides the usual
+gate, quote the constraint and keep the skipped gate visible.
+
+For documentation-only slices, the Manual-QA channel is usually a user-facing
+surface probe rather than a browser or server. Examples include running the
+affected Node test file, checking the plugin scanner, invoking a CLI help page,
+or counting the exact corpus the user asked to protect. The surface probe should
+match the promised behavior. A corpus expansion task should prove the measured
+word count. A command-route task should prove the command file or hook route. A
+package task should prove the package or portable install path. Do not substitute
+an unrelated full suite for the direct measurement, because a broad green suite
+can hide the specific acceptance criterion.
+
+## Minimum-First Execution Examples
+
+Use the smallest edit that satisfies the approved checkbox. If a test can guard
+the desired behavior with one helper inside an existing test file, do not create
+a new test framework. If a docs corpus needs more substance, expand the few skill
+files that naturally own the missing guidance instead of sprinkling filler across
+every directory. If a package check already exists, extend that check rather than
+inventing a second scanner. Minimum-first does not mean under-testing; it means
+the test and implementation are both directly connected to the acceptance row.
+
+Avoid speculative cleanup. Do not normalize unrelated prose, reorder manifest
+fields, rewrite neighboring sections, or touch local handoff files unless the
+plan names them. Dirty worktree state is a boundary to preserve. Before editing,
+record which dirty files are pre-existing; after editing, verify they remain
+dirty for the same reason and were not rewritten by formatting, tooling, or
+careless broad commands. The final cleanup receipt should say that no temporary
+files, spawned sessions, package publishes, commits, tags, or version bumps were
+created unless the user explicitly requested them.
