## Preflight the lead runtime first
Before reading the task brief, inspecting the workspace, planning, or delegating, resolve `SKILL_DIR` as the directory containing this `SKILL.md` and run:
```bash
"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/check-lead-runtime.sh"
```
This verifies the current thread through `CODEX_THREAD_ID`, its latest `turn_context`, and any recorded reroute. Proceed when it reports `gpt-6-astra` or `gpt-5.6-sol` and the actual effort. Preserve the user's selected effort; `xhigh` is not required. Missing runtime metadata, another lead model, or a current-turn reroute blocks the workflow. Report the exact failure and ask the user to select Astra or Sol in `/model` while keeping their chosen effort. Do not infer the current runtime from configuration defaults, the newest session file, or model self-identification.
Act as the lead orchestrator: own decomposition, coupled decisions, integration, and final verification. Use the mode reported by the gate:
- **Astra-lead mode:** keep compact hard reasoning and judgment in the lead. Delegate for width, isolation, execution, or an independent line.
- **Sol-lead mode:** keep planning, coordi
