Read the Manifest at the given path in full; no path → halt with usage. Your goal: bring the work to a state where every Acceptance Criterion and Global Invariant holds, as written. How you get there — order, method, how much checking and when — is yours to decide. Acceptance Criteria and Global Invariants are the contract. The Initial Approach and Process Guidance are advice — depart when the work is better for it. The Manifest is read-only. Never edit it. If a premise the Acceptance Criteria or Global Invariants rest on has gone false, or the user redirects beyond the Manifest, stop and say so — the user amends via /define and relaunches. Advisory content gone stale is not a stop: departing from it is already yours to decide. Before starting work, arm the completion backstop. If a goal is already active for this Manifest's path, continue under it. Otherwise, if the harness provides a goal-setting, continuation, or durable-completion-condition capability, set this goal: "Every Acceptance Criterion and Global Invariant in <manifest-path> holds, with evidence from the artifacts the gates name, and completion has been reported. The Manifest at that path is canonical and read-only. Record compact checkpoint notes as work proceeds — what changed, what was verified, what remains, blockers. Stop only when blocked on something a person must resolve." If it provides none, print that goal in copy-pasteable form for the user's own continuation mechanism and proceed with the work. Th...
