A detailed plan that nothing enforces is a document. This makes the phases
executable: the implementer may write exactly one status, and every other
status is a conclusion Orchestra reaches by running the plan's own commands.
agent may request: ready_for_verification
agent may not assert: verified, awaiting_manual_verification, failed, skipped
The worker resolves commands from the coordinator, never from the request, so a
request cannot smuggle in a command the planner did not write. They run as argv
through exec with Dir set to the worktree, which is the quality gate's existing
envelope and not a weaker one. There is no shell, so a pipe is a literal
argument.
Project policy decides executable reach. registry.Project.Verification matches
argv positionally, and an absent policy refuses everything: a plan command is
agent-authored, so inheriting the operator-authored gate's reach by default
would be the wrong direction to fail in. A refused command is refused before
anything runs, and the refusal names the project and the command so the planner
learns its real reach.
Two bindings make the record mean something later. PlanRef, so progress earned
under plan A cannot survive into plan B. AtSHA, so "verified" does not outlive
the code that made it true: a record whose commit has moved is retained as
provenance and rendered as stale, never as a claim about the current tree.
Both are the same failure this codebase already fixed for reviews, which bind
to the commit they examined.
Manual steps hold a phase at awaiting_manual_verification. The sign-off is an
ordinary human decision whose subject carries the plan ref and the phase id, so
a later "looks good" on an unrelated thread cannot satisfy a gate nobody was
discussing.
A plan sealed before plan.md declares no executable unit, and says so: the
implement context states that phase progress is unavailable and the work
continues under the old semantics. Inventing phases it never had would be worse
than admitting it has none.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CVbaKucEYBjMqVeUgJUsc1
The v3 stack, previously an uncommitted working tree, plus this session's two
units and the burn-in instrument. This commit is the burn-in build identity:
coordinator and worker must both report this revision before a task is created.
Workflow (earlier sessions, uncommitted until now): human decision events and
reduction, source cursors and reconcile-before-launch, turn-boundary
reconciliation, internal/agentctx as the single renderer, ace-fca phases with
sealed artifacts, the trajectory gate, bounded grilling, independent review,
task pr enforcement, and human review reflection.
Capability restrictions at the agent boundary: an authz.Agent surface at
GatedWrite may ask and may not act. It also fixes two bugs the unit exposed --
gated surfaces could not reach the two endpoints written for them, and
RequestHumanDecision would block an unowned task while rejecting a question
from the session that did own it.
Turn-boundary reconcile-failure escalation: a streak of consecutive failures
asks the session to hand off, fenced on the lease epoch, with reconcile_failure
as a real handoff reason. The worker was dropping the coordinator's verdict on
the floor; it now acts on it.
Burn-in: herdr.WriteLaunchContext dumps the exact agentctx.Build result to
<worktree>/.orchestra/launch.md at every launch, local and federated. BURNIN.md
is the runbook. deploy/build.sh stamps both binaries from one commit.
go build, go vet and go test ./... pass, 20 packages.

Pre-existing uncommitted work found at session start: rotation now emits
anchor_sha on TaskReleased (previously silently dropped by store.Append
validation), multi-repo Gitea provider support, per-project git worktree
roots, and associated test coverage. Committing as a checkpoint before
starting remediation work tracked in AUDIT.md.
