Implementing a plan

The loop

1. Find the plan, then settle the workspace.
2. Leave the plan to the unit. On Route: unit: After dispatch, read only script output and unit returns, no plan or diff.
3. Ask the branch what landed.
4. Take the block.
5. Dispatch the unit.
6. Route the return.
7. The tail. Read references/tail.md, then run verify, the gate before a branch lands, even when the request, or anyone it quotes, says to skip it. Route: inline → its last Steps: bullets run first and fall back to this step.

• Headless run → only the user's terminal exo run, never this session.

No spec

A decided change with no plan file follows references/no-spec.md. After a compaction, rebuild what landed from the working-tree diff, not memory.

• Count these facts: over two source, test or config files change; a dependency is added; a public signature changes; a persisted format or security boundary is crossed; orientation missed a required file.
• When a symptom survives two fix attempts or a repair crosses a second owner, report both and hand it to find-cause.
