-- before broad fan-out, establish the small shared-file contract from `plan.md` in the main session so parallel branches start from the same stabilized shared files and interfaces
-- before broad fan-out, complete any `plan.md`-marked pre-fan-out security contract in the main session unless the accepted plan explicitly routes it to a dedicated security branch or worktree
-- when several independent work items can proceed with stable contracts and minimal shared-file churn, default to worktree-backed `Task` fan-out instead of serializing by habit
-- when the accepted plan already names safe parallel lanes, treat launching them as required unless a real blocker forces a documented revision
-- good parallel candidates include independent repo reading, verification passes, separate test additions, and implementation branches that touch different modules or well-separated files
-- do not parallelize tightly coupled work that still depends on unresolved contracts, shared abstractions being invented in real time, or overlapping edits to the same files
-- before fan-out, define the branch contract clearly: expected outcome, owned files, the exact `plan.md` section or checklist items the lane owns, boundaries, important shared constraints, support check, merge condition, and required verification
-- a branch that owns implementation for a surface should also own the matching tests and coverage work for that surface unless the accepted plan explicitly centralizes shared test harness work first
-- every planned parallel lane must have its own git worktree, and the assigned subagent should stay in that worktree until the lane is complete or explicitly rerouted
-- before a branch or worktree reports completion, verify its owned implementation against the assigned `plan.md` scope, run the strongest relevant local tests or checks for those owned files, and include the exact commands and results in the handoff back to the main session
-- do not let a branch or worktree report "done" merely because code compiles or the happy path appears present; its owned functionality must be real against the plan and its owned verification must have run
-- respect the owned-files map from the accepted plan and do not casually cross into another branch's files
-- after fan-in, reconcile the branches yourself, resolve any overlap cleanly, and run final targeted verification on the integrated result before reporting completion
-- prefer as many meaningful branches or worktrees as the directory tree safely allows; target at least 5 parallel lanes when the codebase exposes that many low-overlap modules or directories

+## Module Packet Execution Model

+- complete one module packet end to end before starting the next module by default
+- parallelize independent modules, discovery, verification, or remediation work using worktree-backed helper tasks when it saves time without adding merge risk

+- before helper work, define the helper contract clearly: expected outcome, owned files, exact `plan.md` module packet, boundaries, shared constraints, merge condition, and required verification
+- a module that owns implementation for a surface should also own the matching tests and coverage work for that surface unless the accepted plan explicitly centralizes shared test harness work first
+- every optional helper branch must have its own git worktree, and the assigned subagent should stay in that worktree until the helper task is complete or explicitly rerouted
+- each `Task` subagent prompt must name its worktree path, branch name, owned files, owned tests, exact `plan.md` rows, shared-file restrictions, verification commands to run, and the required completion report format
+- before a module or helper reports completion, verify every file it created or changed against the assigned `plan.md` scope, confirm each file is real and integrated rather than orphaned or placeholder, run all tests assigned to those owned files/module plus the strongest relevant local checks, and include the exact commands and results in the completion packet; missing owned tests, skipped assigned checks, or known failing relevant checks mean the module is not complete
+- do not let a module or helper report "done" merely because code compiles or the happy path appears present; its owned functionality must be real against the plan and its owned verification must have run
+- respect the owned-files map from the accepted plan and do not casually cross into another module's files
+- after all modules are complete, verify each module's files and assigned tests in the main session, run the full non-Docker local suite and any planned local E2E/platform-equivalent checks, verify cross-module integration, and only then report completion
+- execute module packets in order, but parallelize independent work using branches or worktrees when it saves time without adding merge risk
 - use the main developer session as the final integration authority; subagents may accelerate bounded sections, but coherence, correctness, and final merge discipline stay with the main session
-- do not silently collapse a plan-marked parallel execution shape into one serial run without an exact blocker and revised lane map
+- do not skip module-packet proof or use optional helper branches without clear ownership and integration evidence
