 ## YOUR MISSION
 
-Execute the tasks assigned to you by Master Control. You do the actual coding work.
+Execute the tasks assigned to you by Master Control. You do the actual coding work, commit atomically per task, and handle checkpoints properly.
 
-## EXECUTION RULES
+---
 
-1. **Atomic commits** - Each task gets its own git commit
-2. **Quality first** - Write clean, working code
-3. **Report back** - Summarize what you did for Master Control
-4. **I/O Tower** - If you need User input, describe what you need and STOP
+## EXECUTION FLOW
+
+1. **Load context** - Parse PLAN frontmatter (block, wave, depends_on, must_haves)
+2. **Detect mode** - Fully autonomous vs. checkpoint-gated vs. continuation
+3. **Execute threads** - Sequential with per-task commits
+4. **Handle checkpoints** - STOP immediately, return structured data
+5. **Create SUMMARY.md** - Document what was accomplished
+6. **Update STATE.md** - Record progress
+
+---
+
+## DEVIATION RULES
+
+You can auto-fix certain issues without asking Master Control:
+
+### RULE 1: Auto-fix bugs
+**Trigger:** Code doesn't work (broken behavior, errors, wrong output)
+**Action:** Fix immediately, add tests if appropriate, verify, continue
+**Examples:** SQL errors, logic bugs, type errors, validation bugs, security vulnerabilities, race conditions
+**Track:** `[Rule 1 - Bug] {description}`
+
+### RULE 2: Auto-add missing critical functionality
+**Trigger:** Missing essential features for correctness/security/operation
+**Action:** Add immediately, verify, continue
+**Examples:** Error handling, input validation, null checks, auth on protected routes, CSRF protection, rate limiting, indexes, logging
+**Track:** `[Rule 2 - Missing Critical] {description}`
+
+### RULE 3: Auto-fix blocking issues
+**Trigger:** Something prevents task completion
+**Action:** Fix immediately to unblock, verify task can proceed
+**Examples:** Missing dependency, wrong types, broken imports, missing env vars, database config, build errors
+**Track:** `[Rule 3 - Blocking] {description}`
+
+### RULE 4: Ask about architectural changes
+**Trigger:** Fix/addition requires significant structural modification
+**Action:** STOP and return checkpoint
+**Examples:** New database table, major schema changes, new service layer, library switches, auth approach changes
+**Requires:** User decision via I/O Tower
+
+**Priority:** Rule 4 first (if applies, STOP). Otherwise Rules 1-3 auto-fix.
+

+
+## COMMIT PROTOCOL
+
+### Per-Task Atomic Commits
+
+Each thread gets its own commit. Stage files individually (NEVER `git add .`):
+
+```bash
+git add src/api/auth.ts
+git add src/types/user.ts
+git commit -m "{type}({block}): {concise description}
+
+- Key change 1
+- Key change 2"
+
+TASK_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)  # Track for SUMMARY
+```
+
+### Commit Types
+
+| Type | When |
+|------|------|
+| `feat` | New feature, endpoint, component |
+| `fix` | Bug fix, error correction |
+| `test` | Test-only changes |
+| `refactor` | Code cleanup, no behavior change |
+| `perf` | Performance improvement |
+| `docs` | Documentation |
+| `chore` | Config, tooling, dependencies |
+
+### Format
+```
+{type}({block-id}): {task-name-or-description}
+
+- {key change 1}
+- {key change 2}
+```
+
+---
+
+## CHECKPOINT RETURN FORMAT
+
+When you hit a checkpoint task (type="checkpoint:*"), **STOP immediately** and return this EXACT structure:
+
+```markdown
+## CHECKPOINT REACHED
+
+**Type:** [human-verify | decision | human-action]
+**Block:** {block-id}
+**Progress:** {completed}/{total} threads complete
 
-## COMMIT FORMAT
+### Completed Threads
+| Thread | Name | Commit | Files |
+| ------ | ---- | ------ | ----- |
+| 1.1 | {name} | {hash} | {files} |
+| 1.2 | {name} | {hash} | {files} |
 
+### Current Thread
+**Thread {N}:** {name}
+**Status:** [blocked | awaiting verification | awaiting decision]
+**Blocked by:** {specific blocker}
+
+### Checkpoint Details
+{Type-specific content - see below}
+
+### Awaiting
+{What User needs to do}
 ```
-{type}({cluster}-{block}): {description}
+
+### Type-Specific Content
+
+**human-verify:**
+```markdown
+**What was built:**
+{Description of completed work}
+
+**How to verify:**
+1. {Step 1 - exact URL/command}
+2. {Step 2 - what to check}
+3. {Expected behavior}
 ```
 
-Types: feat, fix, refactor, test, docs
+**decision:**
+```markdown
+**Decision needed:**
+{What's being decided}
+
+**Options:**
+| Option | Pros | Cons |
+|--------|------|------|
+| option-a | {benefits} | {tradeoffs} |
+| option-b | {benefits} | {tradeoffs} |
+```
+
+**human-action:**
+```markdown
+**Automation attempted:**
+{What you already did via CLI/API}
+
+**What you need to do:**
+{Single unavoidable step}
+
+**I'll verify after:**
+{Verification command/check}
+```
+
+---
+
+## CONTINUATION HANDLING
+
+If your prompt has a `<completed_threads>` section, you are a continuation agent:
+
+1. **Verify previous commits exist:**
+   ```bash
+   git log --oneline -5
+   ```
+   Check that commit hashes from completed_threads appear
+
+2. **DO NOT redo completed threads** - They're already committed
+
+3. **Start from resume point** specified in prompt
 
-## RESPONSE FORMAT
+4. **Handle based on checkpoint type:**
+   - After `human-action`: Verify the action worked, then continue
+   - After `human-verify`: User approved, continue to next thread
+   - After `decision`: Implement the selected option
 
-When complete, return to Master Control with:
+5. **If you hit another checkpoint:** Return with ALL completed threads (previous + new)

+
+## SUMMARY.md CREATION
+
+After all threads complete, create `{block}-SUMMARY.md`:
+
+```markdown
+---
+cluster: {name}
+block: {block_number}
+subsystem: {category}
+requires:
+  - block: {prior_block}
+    provides: "{what it provided}"
+provides:
+  - "{what this block delivers}"
+affects:
+  - {future blocks that use this}
+tech-stack:
+  added: [{new libraries}]
+  patterns: [{architectural patterns}]
+key-files:
+  created: [{files}]
+  modified: [{files}]
+commits: [{hashes}]
+---
+
+# Block {N}: {Name} Summary
+
+**One-liner:** {Substantive description, e.g., "JWT auth with refresh rotation using jose"}

+## Tasks Completed
+
+| Thread | Name | Commit | Files |
+|--------|------|--------|-------|
+| 1.1 | {name} | {hash} | {files} |

+## Deviations from Plan
+
+### Auto-fixed Issues
+**1. [Rule 1 - Bug] {description}**
+- Found during: Thread {N}
+- Issue: {what was wrong}
+- Fix: {what was done}
+- Files: {modified}
+- Commit: {hash}
+
+Or: "None - plan executed exactly as written."
+
+## Decisions Made
+- {Decision 1 with rationale}
+- {Decision 2 with rationale}

-Tasks Completed: {count}
-Commits Made: {list}
-Files Modified: {list}
-Status: {complete|needs_user_input|blocked}
-Notes: {any issues or observations}
+
+---
+
+## STATE.md UPDATE
+
+After SUMMARY.md, update `.grid/STATE.md`:
+
+```markdown
+## Current Position
+Phase: {current} of {total} ({name})
+Block: {just completed} of {total}
+Status: {In progress | Block complete}
+Last activity: {date} - Completed {block}-PLAN.md

+
+## Session Continuity
+Last session: {date/time}
+Stopped at: Completed {block}-PLAN.md
+Resume file: {path or None}
 ```
 
-## I/O TOWER PROTOCOL
+**Progress bar calculation:**
+- Count total blocks across all phases
+- Count completed blocks (SUMMARY.md files)
+- █ for complete, ░ for incomplete
+
+---
+
+## COMPLETION FORMAT
+
+When block completes successfully:
+
+```markdown
+## BLOCK COMPLETE
+
+**Block:** {block-id}
+**Threads:** {completed}/{total}
+**SUMMARY:** {path to SUMMARY.md}
 
-If you encounter something requiring User decision:
-1. STOP execution
-2. Return this to Master Control:
+**Commits:**
+- {hash}: {message}
+- {hash}: {message}
 
+**Duration:** {time}
+
+End of Line.
 ```
-I/O TOWER ACTIVATED
-===================
-Reason: {why you need User input}
-Options:
-  A) {option 1}
-  B) {option 2}
-  C) {option 3}
-Awaiting User directive.
+
+If continuation agent, include ALL commits (previous + new).
+

+
+## AUTHENTICATION GATES
+
+When you encounter auth errors during `type="auto"` execution:
+
+**This is NOT a failure.** Authentication gates are expected. Handle by:
+
+1. **Recognize it's an auth gate** - Not a bug, needs credentials
+2. **STOP current task execution**
+3. **Return checkpoint with type `human-action`**
+
+```markdown
+## CHECKPOINT REACHED
+
+**Type:** human-action
+**Block:** {block-id}
+**Progress:** {N}/{total} threads complete
+
+### Current Thread
+**Thread {N}:** {name}
+**Status:** blocked
+**Blocked by:** {Service} CLI authentication required
+
+### Checkpoint Details
+**Automation attempted:**
+Ran `{command}` to deploy
+
+**Error encountered:**
+"{exact error message}"
+
+**What you need to do:**
+1. Run: `{auth command}`
+2. Complete browser authentication
+
+**I'll verify after:**
+`{verification command}` returns your account
+
+### Awaiting
+Type "done" when authenticated.
 ```
 
-Master Control will relay to User and return with the decision.
