+risks after fixes. Respect the task-wide review budget; exhausted rounds require
+an external decision, never an automatic PASS. Do not approve as Astra
+or the Product Owner. Include the reviewed snapshot and actual model/effort.

+finding must identify a violated requirement or actionable failure with evidence.

+findings and affected dependencies without reopening unchanged, proven areas.

+# NCCGS — portable framework decisions
+
+NCCGS means **New Claude Code Game Studio** and targets **Claude Code**.
+This is the public 2.0.0-rc.1 release candidate, distributed through npm's next tag.
+It is not stable promotion. The package README and changelog describe release scope.
+Project-specific authorizations, provider sessions, budgets and internal development
+history are retained separately, outside the public package. Nothing in this file
+authorizes spending, provider access or changes to a user's project by itself.
+
+## Execution and authority
+
+- Follow the user's explicit instructions and the project's approved contract.
+- New installations use standalone Claude Code execution; external review is optional
+  and separately configured. Preserve existing execution/profile obligations on update.
+- Codex may maintain and test framework source. It must not replace Claude Code agents
+  to claim actual NCCGS game orchestration. Installed files, configured models and
+  synthetic tests are not provider execution evidence.
+- Use actual correlated native worker observations. Unknown model, effort or usage
+  remains unknown. Never infer execution from a requested alias or a handoff marker.
+- Preserve failed attempts, negative reviews, task history, evidence and consumed
+  allowances. An update, migration, retry or new report must not reset spent budgets.
+- Known-solution or contaminated benchmark baselines remain reference-only; do not
+  score them as independent NCCGS runs.
+
+## Delivery and evidence
+
+- Evaluate brief fidelity, implementation, tests, integration, review/repair and
+  evidence-backed handoff. Product balance and feel are separate unless the contract
+  explicitly includes them. Do not expand a delivery task into an unrequested study.
+- Keep approved gameplay rules, formulas and UI/accessibility requirements. A correct
+  loss can pass a behavior test. Disclosed fixtures may arrange preconditions but must
+  exercise real logic rather than inject the asserted outcome.
+- Automatic acceptance requires current measured assertions; helper exit zero and a
+  reviewer boolean alone do not prove success. Reject missing, stale or malformed data.
+- A completed independent reviewer owns its exact verdict/findings/conditions. PASS
+  requires no unresolved mandatory conditions; do not translate or edit its verdict.
+- Technical acceptance, human/Product Owner acceptance and benchmark claims are distinct.
+  Never claim broad performance, quality or productivity from one supported case.
+- Keep frozen evaluations unchanged when maintaining the framework or preparing a release.
+
+## Operational boundaries
+
+- Launch/resume through nccgs run. Honor native, OS, managed, destructive-action and
+  project permission constraints; do not repeatedly request already-authorized routine work.
+- Use foreground Agent calls and managed verification jobs for long engine checks.
+  Keep process ownership, finite time/cost/dispatch limits and interruption evidence.
+  Never escape ownership through a detached or WMI-launched process.
+- Task lifecycle commands are one plain invocation per shell call, without pipes,
+  redirection or chained commands. Read task state with inspect.
+- Check effective native role limits; prompt text does not change maxTurns. The
+  reviewer ceiling is 200 turns, not a target or a budget extension.
+- Use reviewed design readiness for features and exact bounded repair packets when
+  required. Read the relevant protocols rather than guessing governance syntax.
+- Preserve bundled third-party licenses and attribution, including Ponytail guidance
+  and the official Unity Skills. Additional guidance does not waive acceptance gates.
+
+For runtime detail, read protocols/standalone.md, protocols/delivery-acceptance.md,
+protocols/design-lifecycle.md, protocols/review-handoff.md, protocols/bounded-repair.md
+and protocols/task-autonomy.md as applicable.
