No new agent-askable backward transition. + +The live proof ladder is in the note. Steps 1 and 3 are the rungs that matter +for smaller local models.

Never + `git add -A`. +- **No network from this sandbox.** `curl` to raw.githubusercontent.com times + out. `WebFetch` against a `github.com/blob/...` URL works. +- **Secrets are guarded.** Reading `.env` or `printenv` of a token through the + shell is blocked.

Phases numbered from 1, contiguous. +- Every phase carries `### Files`, `### Changes`, `### Verification`. +- Every phase carries at least one entry under `#### Automated` or + `#### Manual`. A phase with neither cannot be verified and is refused. +- Automated entries are argv arrays, JSON-parsed from the `run:` line. Not + shell strings.

No prefix-match by accident. +- An empty or absent policy means no plan command is runnable. Absence is a + refusal, not a default-allow. + +Refusal text names the command and the project, so the planner learns its real +reach. A plan whose commands are all refused fails at seal time, not at +verification time. The failure lands on the planner rather than the +implementer. + +## 5. Mismatch as a typed request + +```json +{ + "plan_phase": "phase-2", + "observed": "...", + "contradicts": "...", + "evidence": ["..."], + "requested_action": "replan | research | human_decision" +} +``` + +- Written to `.orchestra/plan-mismatch.json`. Bounded lines, same validator + style as the handoff. +- Worker validates and posts. Coordinator records `PlanMismatchRecorded`, then + decides the move. +- Orchestra performs the reopen. The agent never asks for a backward phase, so + `phase-request.json` still refuses one. +- The superseded plan moves to a history list on the task. `PlanRef` always + names the currently accepted plan, so no ref is ever ambiguous. +- A fresh implement session launches against the newly sealed plan. The mismatch + is retained as provenance. + +This keeps the phase machine from becoming freely reversible navigation. The +edge exists for Orchestra, not for the agent. + +## 6. Tests + +Unit: + +- Plan with every required section validates. One missing section fails, and the + error names the section. +- Phase with no automated and no manual verification fails. +- `run:` line that is not a JSON argv array fails. +- Reference to an unknown research id fails, with the id named. +- Duplicate research finding id fails. Confidence outside the enum fails. +- `renderSealed` contains the plan document byte-for-byte, fences and multi-line + blocks included. +- Two `Build` calls from the same refs with different handoffs both contain the + complete plan. +- `status: "verified"` written by an agent is refused, and the refusal reaches + the delivery path. +- Allowlist matcher: exact match, `*` single-element, `/...` path prefix, + shorter-pattern rejection, empty policy rejects everything. +- A failed verification leaves the phase unverified and records the exit code. + +## 7. Live proof ladder + +1. Plan seals three detailed phases. Implement launch contains the plan + verbatim. +2. Phase 1 requests verification. Worker runs the exact plan command. Durable + state says phase 1 verified. +3. Rotation. Successor receives the complete original plan, phase 1 verified, + phase 2 explicitly current. +4. Human correction lands above the plan. Plan and state stay subordinate. +5. Phase 2 hits a contradiction. Mismatch recorded, no silent implementation, + old plan retained, revised plan sealed, fresh launch carries the revised plan + in full. + +Step 1 and step 3 are the two that matter for smaller local models. A grep of +the rendered `launch.md` either finds the phase-three specification and its +verification command, or it does not. + +## Not in scope + +Lifecycle, leases, review, submission, auth, federation, and the burn-in fixes +stay untouched. One adjacent change is needed: the Orchestra-only reopen edge in +section 5. It is reached through a typed request, not through a new +agent-askable transition.
