-Name the healthcheck success message once
+Describe each healthcheck check in one line
 
 - Project: test-e2e
-- Source: burnin/run14-a
+- Source: gitea:test-e2e/24
 - Priority: 0
 
 ## Instructions
 
-scripts/orchestra_e2e_healthcheck.sh spells its success message inline. Give it a single named constant beside the existing VERSION constant and use that constant everywhere the message is printed.
+scripts/orchestra_e2e_healthcheck.sh now runs ten named checks. Give each one a one-line description, and print those descriptions where the names are already printed.
 
-Behaviour must not change. The plain run, --quiet and --help keep their current output and exit statuses, and scripts/test_healthcheck.sh keeps passing.
+The descriptions, one per check:
+
+- repo_root_readable: the repository root exists and is readable
+- scripts_dir_present: the scripts directory exists
+- healthcheck_executable_bit: this script is executable
+- selftest_present: the selftest script is present
+- test_healthcheck_present: the healthcheck test is present
+- readme_present: README.md is present
+- no_crlf_line_endings: no tracked text file uses CRLF endings
+- no_tabs_in_scripts: no script indents with tabs
+- shebang_is_bash: every script declares the bash shebang
+- usage_text_mentions_every_flag: the usage text lists every flag
+
+Where they appear:
+
+- `--list-checks` prints `<name>: <description>`, one per line.
+- `--help` prints the same description beside each name in its Checks section.
+- `--summary` is unchanged and keeps printing `<name>: ok`.
+
+Plan this as FIVE phases, two checks per phase, in the order listed above.
+
+## Work one phase at a time
+
+Implement phase N, request its verification, and only then begin phase N+1. Do not write the whole change first and verify the phases afterwards.
+
+## Every phase carries both kinds of check
+
+This is a hard requirement of this task. Each phase must have at least one automated check from the policy below. Each phase must also have at least one manual check, confirmed by a human reading the printed output. Orchestra runs the automated ones. A human owns the manual ones, and the phase is not finished until that human signs it off.
+
+## Verification policy for this project
+
+Only two commands may appear on a run: line, exactly:
+
+- ["bash", "-n", "<path>"]
+- ["bash", "scripts/orchestra_e2e_healthcheck.sh"]
+
+Anything else is refused when you seal the plan.
+
+## Behaviour that must not change
+
+Every existing flag keeps its current behaviour and exit status: --quiet, --json, --summary, --timing, --strict, --help. The success line is unchanged.
 
 ## Research first
 
-Establish at least three findings with distinct confidence: at least one `fact`, one `inference`, one `assumption`.
+Establish at least three findings with distinct confidence: at least one fact, one inference, one assumption.
 
+## Handoff behaviour
 
-## Quality gate
+Behave normally. If Orchestra asks you to write a handoff report, write it and stop.
 
-bash -n scripts/*.sh && bash scripts/orchestra_e2e_healthcheck.sh
+Acceptance:
+- Each of the ten checks has a one-line description in exactly one place in the script.
+- --list-checks prints name and description for all ten.
+- --help lists all ten names with their descriptions.
+- --summary, --timing, --strict, --json and --quiet behave exactly as before.
