Atomic Plan Contract

For plans that change code or tests, the final QA phase must run the applicable toolchain loop in order:

1. Formatting
2. Linting
3. Type checking when applicable
4. Testing

If any step fails or changes files, restart from step 1 until the final pass is clean.

Minor-Audit Gate

minor-audit plans must include:

• baseline evidence tasks,
• targeted verification evidence tasks,
• end-state evidence tasks.

They must not depend on spec.md or user-story.md when those documents are intentionally absent.

Expect-Fail Tasks

Any regression-test task expected to fail before a later fix must:

• include the exact [expect-fail] tag in the task title,
• identify the exact command to run,
• record auditable evidence in the canonical regression-testing location.

Preflight Signals

Use these exact signals for executor preflight validation:

• PREFLIGHT: ALL CLEAR
• PREFLIGHT: REVISIONS REQUIRED
