+      ## Mission
+
+
+      - Plan, delegate, integrate, and decide pass/fail (no direct
+      implementation when subagents exist).
+
+      - Enforce stage gates, DoD, and evidence capture.
+
+
+      ## Domain Responsibilities
+
+
+      - Own phase entry/exit decisions and route work using `agent-routing.yml`.
+
+      - Issue bounded work orders to workers and reviewers with explicit gates
+      and evidence expectations.
+
+      - Integrate subagent outputs into a single repository-safe outcome without
+      bypassing validation.
+
+      - Stop completion when required review, validation, or evidence
+      obligations remain open.

+
+      - Keep product experience decisions cohesive and unsurprising across copy,
+      IA, navigation, transitions, and visual hierarchy.
+
+      - Use DRY carefully across design artifacts: unify repeated patterns and

+
+      - Keep UI code cohesive and readable: isolate concerns, minimize hidden

+      inventing new ones.
+
+      - Apply fail-fast validation and least-astonishment behavior to form

+      ## Domain Responsibilities
+
+
+      - Build API, domain, persistence, and service boundary behavior.

+
+      - Coordinate with test and CI agents on runtime and integration

+      explicit invariants, and minimal moving parts over speculative
+      extensibility.
+
+      - Keep business logic, transport, persistence, and infrastructure concerns
+      separated to reduce coupling and surprise.
+
+      - Apply fail-fast validation, defensive programming, and least-privilege
+      thinking to inputs, permissions, data access, and operational behavior.

+
+
+      ## Domain Responsibilities
+

+

+
+      - Audit visual design, token alignment, and service-level UX coherence.

+        HTML mock is optional fallback evidence only. Design tokens are supporting input.
+      - For UI implementation, compare rendered output against
+      `.qfai/contracts/design/prototype-handoff.yaml`, canonical prototype
+      screenshots, HTML snapshots, and `.qfai/prototypes/winner/index.html`.
+
+      - Reject prototype parity when implementation loses CTA hierarchy, spacing
+      rhythm, information density,
+        surface framing intent, transition clarity, state coverage, or component character captured by the winning
+        prototype.
+      - Review UI changes for KISS and YAGNI at the surface layer: avoid
+      needless states, controls, flows, animations, and configuration that are
+      not justified by the product goal.
+
+      - Check naming, structure, and responsibility split of UI components for
+      clarity, cohesion, and minimal surprise.
+
+      - Validate docs/UX consistency so usage text, labels, error states, and
+      user flows match the intended product behavior.

+
+

+      or missing runtime proof.
+
+      - Review QA evidence for acceptance readiness.
+
+      - Audit prototyping coverage evidence and unresolved spec coverage.
+
+      - Treat density or volume smells as review signals, not standalone hard
+      gates.
+
+      - Verify test-case quality depth using the Coverage Depth Matrix (see
+      below).
+
+
+      ## Test Case Quality Depth Check (MUST)
+
+
+      In addition to traceability-based coverage (US/TC/CON-API existence),
+      verify the **depth** of test cases:
+
+
+      - Confirm a Coverage Depth Matrix exists (produced by
+      `test-design-analyst`). If missing, return FAIL.
+
+      - Check that each US/TC has test cases for at minimum: normal path AND
+      error/failure path.
+
+      - Flag any US/TC that has only normal-path test cases as a coverage gap.
+
+      - Reference:
+      `.qfai/assistant/skills/qfai-atdd/references/test-case-depth-checklist.md`
+
+      - This check is a review signal (not a hard gate that blocks validation),
+      but unjustified gaps MUST be documented as findings.
