Goal

Correct shared development workflow UX so technical execution/review-environment obstacles receive bounded autonomous remediation before owner escalation.

Why

Owner attention is scarce. Tool, isolation, dependency and public-evidence access failures are not automatically architecture or authority decisions.

Scope

Update repository loop, implementation, review and remediation commands, reviewer instructions, shared rules, AGENTS.md and authoritative development policy/decisions, with offline consistency guards aligned to the text. No product/runtime changes. Owner explicitly authorizes an isolated worktree from current develop to protect an ongoing task, PR creation, independent exact-HEAD review and automatic gated merge of this delivery. Owner explicitly authorized registration of this issue.

Acceptance Criteria

Distinguish engineering blockers, genuine owner decisions, implementation findings, review infrastructure failures and unresolved judgment.
Require diagnosed, changed-condition technical remediation using the smallest existing authorized mechanism, including sanitized environments, ephemeral containers/checkouts, locked dependencies, pinned public source inspection and independent reviewer failover.
Keep host secrets out of review/test environments; inheritance tests use synthetic values. Preserve independent public-source verification and exact pin/provenance.
Preserve all consumed review ordinals and the ten-review ceiling; no identical retries, acceptance weakening, self-review or permission expansion.
STOP_AND_ASK records the exact decision, owner-controlled commitment, considered remediation and smallest materially distinct choices. BLOCKED records exhausted authorized paths or an external dependency, without artificial questions.
Update conflicting blanket checkout/retry/tool-blocker wording consistently. Shared correction remains generic and repository-neutral.
Independent fresh exact-HEAD/base documentation approval precedes the owner-authorized canonical merge. At 2026-10-05 13:50Z the owner explicitly instructed: "Stop testing, this is docs only change". No further test/typecheck execution for this delivery; retain observed prior results and accurately report incomplete/failed make-check runs. This one-delivery revision does not change future validation policy or authorize bypassing enforced server checks.

Constraints

No persistent infrastructure, product dependency, broader credential/network access, release/deploy/main mutation or cross-repository changes. Existing restricted security review gates remain intact. English documentation only.

Implemented in PR #192: shared bounded technical recovery, consistent commands/rules/reviewer policy, D-070 and text consistency guards. Base 6c337a400b; HEAD 98ee7543e0. Independent documentation review pending. Earlier full verbose suite passed 2,689 tests (17 skips) and basedpyright passed; make-check later hit an unchanged fixture race, and further testing was explicitly stopped by the owner. No further tests/typechecks. Original ongoing-task checkout untouched. Owner-authorized merge remains gated on exact-object independent approval and enforced server checks.

Integrated via owner-authorized PR #192 merge, verified canonical merge commit 4e1d5974f2. Parents exactly approved base 6c337a400b and HEAD fd874477fc; integrated tree equals approved HEAD. Fresh independent whole-PR text/Git review 4 APPROVE, findings []; earlier infrastructure COMMENT ordinals retained and self-remediated without permission changes. One P2 text conflict remediated and freshly reviewed. No tests/typechecks after owner's stop-testing instruction; final text review and whitespace checks passed. No product/runtime changes, force merge, server-check bypass, release/deploy or main mutation. Original ongoing task checkout preserved. Issue left open because standalone issue closure was not delegated.
