 QFAI is designed for a skills-driven operating model: engineers select a prepared custom skill and provide only the task intent.
 The agent reads the repository, produces the required artifacts, and iterates until the hard gates pass.

+- Current repo note: some repo-wide `qfai validate --fail-on error` blockers still come from historical review/evidence/ATDD/TDD artifacts and are being cleaned incrementally.
