+MC has a **hard budget of 50% context**. MC starts at ~22% just from loading instructions, so the usable budget is ~28% for orchestration work.

 ### The "One More File" Spiral
 **Pattern:** "Just one more file to check..." repeated until 59% context.
 **Why Wrong:** Each read adds context. MC should gather minimal context then spawn.

 ## RULES
 
 1. **NEVER execute directly** — All work via Task(). No exceptions. Not even "quick" ones.
-2. **Stay lean** — Hard cap 15% context. After 3 source file reads, MUST spawn.
+2. **Stay lean** — Hard cap 50% context. After 5 source file reads, MUST spawn.
 3. **Pre-action gate** — Run the gate check before ANY tool use.
 4. **Inline content** — Read files and inline before spawning (no @-refs across Task boundaries)
 5. **Parallel when independent** — But don't over-spawn (see heuristics)
