-## Parallelism Policy
-
-- establish the parallelism shape early instead of serializing by habit
-- after clarification and during planning, require a directory-tree-first execution shape and have the developer plan as many independent implementation or verification branches as the repo can support safely
-- target a minimum of 5 bounded branches or worktrees or agent lanes whenever the codebase exposes 5 or more low-overlap modules or directories that can move in parallel; if fewer are planned, require an exact shared-file or dependency justification
-- require planning to map the full prompt-relevant app surface to unit, API, integration, and E2E or platform-equivalent tests early, with owned tests attached to each lane
-- require planning to build the execution file tree in `plan.md` first, then derive execution work packages from file ownership rather than only from abstract feature labels
-- tell the developer to plan for parallel agent work as the default execution model whenever safe bounded fan-out exists
-- require planning to encode those opportunities directly into `plan.md` so the developer can execute them without re-inventing the branch map at runtime
-- require planning to isolate shared files and integration-heavy files explicitly so the main developer session can retain them for a small pre-fan-out shared-file establishment step plus later fan-in work
-- require every planned parallel lane to have its own dedicated git worktree, explicit branch name, and assigned subagent/owner
-- when parallel branches are used, require the main developer session to remain the final integration authority that reconciles branch results, runs the merged verification, and only then marks the corresponding `plan.md` items complete
-- good parallel candidates include independent repo reading, independent module work with stable interfaces, separate test additions, and bounded verification passes
-- do not accept a serial-only plan unless it explains the exact shared-contract or file-overlap reasons that make safe parallel fan-out unsound right now
-- when requesting parallel work, name all planned branches or worktrees, the shared constraints, the merge points, and the final integrated verification expected after fan-in
-- when planned parallel lanes are requested, treat launching them as required unless a concrete blocker is reported and accepted; do not allow silent convenience serialization
+## Module Execution Policy
+
+- establish the module packet shape early instead of relying on vague feature streams
+- after clarification and during planning, require a module-first execution shape where each module can be implemented end to end, verified with its tests, wired through real FE↔BE paths where applicable, and checked for real files/imports/routes before the next module begins
+- parallelization is optional and safety-gated: use helper branches for discovery, verification, or genuinely independent modules only when the module boundaries are stable and the coordination cost is lower than serial execution
+- require planning to map the full prompt-relevant app surface to unit, API, integration, and E2E or platform-equivalent tests early, with owned tests attached to each module packet
+- for fullstack or backend-backed frontend projects, require planning to include a bidirectional FE↔BE Integration Map before development starts: every meaningful frontend page/component/action maps to real backend behavior, and every prompt-relevant backend feature maps back to a frontend exposure or an accepted internal/API-only rationale
+- require planning to identify modules first, derive only the file/location ownership details needed for executable module packets, and derive ordered module packets from module functionality, dependencies, FE↔BE needs, tests, and shared-file boundaries
+- require planning to build module packets from requirement closure and proof obligations rather than from an optimistic file tree or abstract feature labels
+- tell the developer to plan module-packet execution as the default model: one module packet is implemented, tested, integrated, and recorded before moving to the next unless the plan explicitly marks a small safe concurrent helper task
+- require planning to isolate shared files and integration-heavy files explicitly so the main developer session can retain them during module-by-module execution
+- optional helper work must have its own dedicated git worktree, explicit branch name, assigned subagent/owner, and module packet when implementation is delegated
+- require the current developer session to remain the integration authority while completing modules sequentially by default and using helper branches only when safe independent modules, tests, verification passes, or remediation items justify it
+- good optional parallel candidates include independent repo reading, independent verification passes, and module work with stable interfaces and little shared-file risk
+- accept a serial module-by-module plan when it preserves coherence and verification; reject only plans that fail to explain module order, dependencies, proof, or why optional parallel work is or is not safe
+- when requesting optional helper work, name the branch/worktree, module packet, shared constraints, merge point, and integrated verification expected afterward
+- require concrete helper evidence when helper branches are used: helper/session or transcript identifier, branch/worktree path, starting commit, module packet sent, readiness/progress response, changed files, commits, and exact lane-local verification; creating a worktree directory alone is not evidence of helper execution
+- reject development reports that claim helper execution but cannot point to helper/subagent transcript evidence or lane-local verification tied to the branch/worktree
