 ### Instant exec mode
 
 `takt exec` starts TAKT's interactive task-entry mode. The Assistant agent clarifies the request, `/go` turns the conversation into a generated workflow, Worker agent(s) implement the task, Review agent(s) review the result, the Replanning agent asks the user for direction when needed, and loop detection prevents repeated unproductive cycles.

 When `/go` runs, TAKT generates `.takt/exec/workflow.yaml` and executes it through the normal workflow engine. Inline text after `/go` is treated as an additional note. `/go` without prior conversation or inline task text does not generate the workflow. Use `/cancel` to exit without running.
 
+Exec input supports image attachments while editing the current line. Use `/paste-image` or `Ctrl+V` to attach a clipboard image on macOS, or paste an OSC 1337 inline image from a compatible terminal. TAKT inserts a `[Image #N]` placeholder. Reference that placeholder in an Assistant message or `/go` note to send the image with that Assistant request; placeholders that were not attached in the session are treated as normal text. When `/go` runs, referenced stored images are copied into the generated task spec and listed in its attachment section. Supported image types are PNG, JPEG, GIF, and WebP. Inline and clipboard images are limited to 10 MiB. TAKT rejects unsupported image data, mismatched inline-image filename types, oversized images, and stored attachments whose temp path is missing, a symlink, or not a regular file. Providers without native image input receive the attachment as a local path reference in the prompt.

 Normal agent steps, parallel sub-steps, and loop detection judges may set `session_key` to share or isolate persona sessions. System steps, workflow_call steps, and parallel parent steps cannot set `session_key`.

+   - If they are explicitly classified as `false_positive` / `overreach` / `out_of_scope` / `no_issue_after_verification` with evidence, re-evaluate that classification
+   - If a concern has no classification or evidence, record it as an unclassified concern. Make it a REJECT reason only when it is independently confirmed from actual code or execution evidence and affects correctness, contracts, or wiring of the change
+7. Extract diff-introduced contracts that are not visible in the requirements table
+   - Metadata, source, trace, adapters, public tool contracts, and identifiers that are persisted, displayed, or reused must be checked as independent items even when absent from the original requirement
 
 ## Report Priority (supervise-specific)
 
 - Do not treat summary reports as primary evidence. Use execution-result reports, reviewer reports with concrete verification details, and actual code in that order
 - You may treat `Build Results` / `Test Results` sections in execution-result reports as primary evidence
-- For `architecture-review`, `qa-review`, `testing-review`, `security-review`, and `pure-review`, prioritize each report's `Verification Evidence` section
+- For `architecture-review`, `qa-review`, `testing-review`, and `security-review`, prioritize each report's `Verification Evidence` section
 - Treat each `Verification Evidence` item as supporting evidence only when it states the verified target, what was checked, and observed result. If any part is missing, mark that item as `unverified`
 - Evidence based on mocks, static inspection, or limited unit tests must not be treated as verification beyond that scope
 - If items of evidence conflict, prioritize them in this order: `execution-result report > reviewer report with concrete verification details > summary report`
 
 ## Output
 
-- Follow the `supervisor-validation` output contract to record requirements fulfillment, prior finding re-evaluation, verification evidence, and unverified scope
+- Follow the `supervisor-validation` output contract to record requirements fulfillment, prior finding re-evaluation, unclassified concern checks, verification evidence, and unverified scope
 - Only when APPROVE, follow the `summary` output contract to produce the completion summary

+   - Does a saved value need to round-trip through load again?
    - If any apply, create integration tests
+8. Check whether the created tests would still pass with a plausible incorrect implementation
 
 **Test writing guidelines:**
 - Follow the project's existing test patterns (naming conventions, directory structure, helpers)
 - Write tests in Given-When-Then structure
 - One concept per test. Do not mix multiple concerns in a single test
 - Cover happy path, error cases, boundary values, and edge cases
+- For each requirement, leave at least one test or an explicit uncovered reason
 - When an external contract exists, include tests that use the contract-defined input location
   - Example: pass request bodies using the defined root shape as-is
   - Example: keep query / path parameters in their defined location instead of moving them into the body
 - Include tests that would catch implementations that incorrectly reuse a response envelope when reading requests
 - When a shared helper, normalizer, builder, or adapter carries a contract, verify that existing equivalent branches preserve return values, side effects, events, and error classification
+- Prioritize branches that implementations often miss: missing values, unknown values, invalid values, precedence conflicts, overrides, save/load round-trips, partial failures, and prohibited external transmission
+- Do not rely only on absence assertions. Verify negative contracts through observable behavior
+- When using test doubles, do not omit production contracts that the target test depends on
 - Write tests that are expected to pass after implementation is complete (build errors and test failures are expected at this stage)
 
+**Completion criteria:**
+- The requirement-to-test matrix exists, and every requirement has a test or an uncovered reason
+- Representative risky branches, negative contracts, and cross-module paths are recorded as tests or uncovered reasons
+- Large changes include integration tests for the main entry points and paths, not only unit tests
+- Changes to shared contract helpers, normalizers, builders, or adapters include tests that preserve existing equivalent branches
+- Uncovered reasons do not end at "not enough time" or "not checked"
+
 **Non-executable asset constraints:**
 - Do not create tests that freeze prose, headings, or structure in explanations, guides, README files, or Markdown documentation
 - For docs-only changes, do not add tests unless an explicit executable contract exists

+**Exception Translation at Protocol Boundaries:**
+
+Adapters such as HTTP, CLI, GraphQL, and message consumers are boundaries that translate internal exceptions into external protocol representations. Scattering the same try-catch / response translation across endpoints or handlers easily makes status codes, error shapes, logs, and authorization failures inconsistent. Centralize exception translation in a dedicated layer at the adapter boundary, and keep only truly cross-cutting translations in a global handler.

 ## Resolve at the Boundary
 
 Values such as config, options, providers, permissions, and paths should be resolved at the boundary before entering the core flow. Main processing should assume values are already resolved and should not keep asking config sources.

+## Immutability of Published State
+
+Verify that shared state a module publishes (initial-state constants, singletons, configuration objects) cannot be mutated by consumers. Mutable shared state silently propagates a single write to every usage site.
+
+| Criterion | Verdict |
+|-----------|---------|
+| A published initial-state constant (e.g. initialState) is not frozen and consumers can mutate it | REJECT |
+| Mutable objects nested inside a published constant (arrays, Records, Maps) are exposed raw | REJECT |
+| A store or read model returns references to its internal state as-is | REJECT |
+| Protected via recursive deep freeze (`Object.freeze` alone is shallow and does not protect nested mutable objects or `Map`/`Set`), factory functions, or defensive copies | OK |
+| Only `Readonly` type annotations, or a shallow freeze that leaves nested objects raw | REJECT (static or shallow guards do not prevent runtime mutation) |
+
+```typescript
+// REJECT - mutable published initial state; one consumer write poisons every replay
+export const initialState: State = { count: 0, entries: {} };
+
+// OK - frozen, including nested objects
+export const initialState: State = Object.freeze({ count: 0, entries: Object.freeze({}) });
+
+// OK - factory returning a fresh instance every time
