+
+          If a slice already exists, audit target components via EXECUTE `git grep`. Ensure all deliverables maintain a Continuous Green State. If a deliverable attempts a breaking signature change to a Shared Seam (git grep count greater than 1) without a migration plan, immediately EDIT the slice to re-partition the work into a non-breaking parallel change (expand, migrate, contract). Decompose any item touching more than one logical change into smaller atomic deliverables. Verify Wiring is placed first.
+

+        <step n="4" name="Mark Deliverable">Identify the next uncompleted deliverable in the vertical slice. Immediately EDIT the vertical slice to mark this single focused deliverable as in progress using `[▶]`. Batching deliverables into one cycle execution is strictly forbidden.</step>

+        <goal>Satisfy the current deliverable requirements via Just-In-Time implementation without overbuilding.</goal>
+        <step n="1" name="Red">
+          Map the current deliverable type to its testing layer, strictly adhering to the three test-layer boundaries:
+          Acceptance (`tests/suites/acceptance/`, happy-path scenarios only): Wiring. This step MUST establish the End-to-End Skeleton Wiring Tracer Bullet. Write a test that hits the outermost boundary (such as an API endpoint) and expects the final success state. Use Public Boundary Acceptance Testing: drive the outermost entry point without importing internal core models or services.
+          Integration (`tests/suites/integration/`, adapters only): Harness, Migration. Importing internal core models or services is banned.
+          Unit (`tests/suites/unit/`, isolated core logic): Contract, Seam, Logic, Refactor, Cleanup. Must contain all granular edge cases, errors, and permutations.
+
+          Create or locate the appropriate test file. Set up the test function using the Test Harness (Setup: Fixtures and Arrange, Driver: Act, Observer: Assert). Use parameterized tests for data permutations.
+
+          Enforce Test Double Integrity (Ban Global Patching): global `mock.patch` and bare `MagicMock` are strictly forbidden; inject all test doubles via Constructor Injection. Use In-Memory Fakes for internal state (databases, caches). Use strictly bound mocks (such as `register_mock` or `autospec=True`) ONLY for un-fakeable external side-effects (APIs, SMTP) to prevent signature drift.
+
+          Execute the test to confirm it fails exactly as expected (via `ImportError`, `NameError`, or `AssertionError`). Your next turn Synthesis MUST analyze the test failure and isolate the absolute smallest logical condition to implement.
+        </step>
+        <step n="2" name="Green">
+          Write the absolute minimal code to pass the test.
+          If the current deliverable is Wiring, you MUST use hardcoded or trivial return values (the End-to-End Skeleton Wiring Tracer Bullet) to connect components end-to-end and force the Acceptance test Green. Do not implement complex business rules yet.
+          If the current deliverable is Logic, use Unit Tests to drive out real business rules, replacing skeleton data with actual implementations.
+          Enforce Contract Enforcement (DbC): contracts require active runtime checks via native assertions (`assert condition, "Message"`). Do not use custom exceptions or raises for contract assertions so they can be optimized via `python -O`. State explicitly which contract condition failed.
+        </step>
+        <step n="3" name="Refactor">
+          Implement local, file-scoped refactors directly; append slice-scoped refactors to the Vertical Slice deliverables.
+          Apply DRY: consolidate duplicate logic across newly touched components and existing code.
+          Centralize Configuration: migrate hardcoded defaults and magic numbers.
+          Eliminate Shadow Logic: replace hardcoded literals or re-implemented system logic in tests with imports from the source of truth.
+          Failure Transparency: eliminate generic `except Exception:` or silent `pass` blocks in your modifications.
+          Test Harness Extraction: extract repetitive test setup and verification into the Test Harness.
+          Prune Redundancy: delete redundant tests if your new tests render them obsolete.
+          DI Purity: ensure no concrete defaults exist in new code. Service Locator and `mock.patch` are forbidden.
+          Clean Code: apply SRP locally to simplify logic, improve readability, and remove stale comments.
+          Structural Refactoring: if refactoring requires cross-cutting or structural changes outside the slice scope, record it in the roadmap in `docs/project/PROJECT.md` rather than attempting out-of-scope rewrites.

+        <step n="4" name="Loop Exit">

Unnecessary Fragmentation, 2. Tight Coupling, 3. Leaky Abstractions, 4. Silent Failures, 5. Hidden Singletons & Eager Initialization, 6. Boundary Contamination, 7. Mock Poisoning, 8. Semantic Test Overlap, 9. Quality Gate Bypasses & Dead Code.</step>
-        <step n="2" name="Specs Alignment">Identify divergences where implementation reality differs from the `Specification Document`. Resolve these via As-Built Alignment by `EDIT`-ing the Spec and Design Docs to match reality.</step>
-        <step n="3" name="Milestone Management">If no active milestone exists, `READ` the Roadmap in `docs/project/PROJECT.md` to `CREATE` the next `Milestone`. You MUST translate ALL its Roadmap requirements into the Milestone document. Change status to `In Progress` and transition to `Completed` once fully implemented.</step>
-        <step n="4" name="Draft Component Designs">`CREATE` or `EDIT` draft design docs for affected components. Focus strictly on strategic intent, purpose, and conceptual Port responsibilities, operations, and invariants; leave concrete typing and implementation to the Developer. Transition any updated existing docs to `Refactoring` status. If any existing component design docs do not adhere to the Component Design blueprint, update them to align.</step>
-        <step n="5" name="Architecture Maintenance">Update `docs/architecture/ARCHITECTURE.md`'s `Component & Boundary Map` and `Key Architectural Decisions` if needed to align.</step>
-        <step n="6" name="Delta Analysis">Use `EXECUTE git grep` and `READ` on all targeted components, contracts, interfaces, and DTOs referenced in the design. Verify implementation status of every piece the design calls for. Catalog the delta: what already exists (skip — do NOT include as a deliverable), what is partially implemented (note remaining work), and what is entirely missing (add as pending). Only truly unimplemented or incomplete work SHALL appear in the slice deliverables. Do NOT create entries for work that demonstrably exists.</step>
-        <step n="7" name="Create Slice">`CREATE` exactly ONE Vertical Slice following these rules:
-          1. Status: Initial Status MUST be `Planned`.
-          2. Content: MUST include linked Component Docs. MUST include Gherkin scenarios and a final `Wiring` behavioral gate.
-          3. Debt: Inject `Refactor`/`Cleanup` deliverables for audit findings, and `Harness` deliverables to patch preventable static analysis gaps.
-          4. Design Sensitivity (log-only): For EVERY Key Unknown, record a one-line Design Sensitivity stating how the design reacts to each resolution (e.g., "if this resolves as X → contracts hold; if Y → this port/DTO changes"). The Architect does NOT spike; empirically de-risking every `[Technical]`/`[Functional]` unknown is the Prototyper's job (route `[Domain]` unknowns to the user).</step>
-        <step n="9" name="Impact Audit & Consistency Check">Use `EXECUTE git grep` on target components. If a component (Port, Service signature, or DTO) has >1 consumer (excluding its own definition), categorize it as a Shared Seam. You MUST decompose the design into smaller, atomic deliverables if >1 consumer, layer, or logical change is affected. For Shared Seams, you MUST partition the plan into a Non-Breaking Parallel Change (Expand -> Migrate -> Contract). Ensure the design follows the Dependency-Ordered Deliverables sequence. Resolve hits for deleted/renamed components in documentation and ensure all Contract/Seam changes have matching Harness deliverables.</step>
-        <step n="10" name="Approval Gate">This is the single consolidated approval gate for the session. Message the user to review the architectural pattern proposal AND the finalized deliverables/specs together. Do NOT proceed to Phase 4 without explicit user approval.</step>
-      </phase>
-
-      <phase n="4" name="Version Control">
-        <goal>Clean up the workspace and commit all architectural changes and slices.</goal>
-        <step n="1" name="Teardown">Explicitly delete all temporary logs, spikes, and workspace detritus in `spikes/`, then run `git status` to verify.</step>
-        <step n="2" name="Commit">Execute the commit following the VCP for the finalized artifacts (Slices, Architecture, etc.).</step>
-      </phase>
-
-      <phase n="5" name="Conclusion">
-        <goal>Delegate execution to the optimal downstream agent.</goal>
-        <step n="1" name="Handoff">Message the user with instructions to start a new session based on the slice's Key Unknowns: if the slice has any unresolved `[ ]` items in `## Key Unknowns`, invoke the Prototyper to de-risk them first. If all Key Unknowns are resolved (`[x]`) or the section is absent, invoke the Developer directly.</step>
