 ### Plan Review
 
-- Apply task_clarifications (resolved, don't re-question).
-- Check (planner handles atomicity/IDs, focus on semantics):
-  - PRD coverage (each requirement ≥ 1 task).
-  - Wave correctness (parallelism, conflicts_with not parallel, wave 1 has root tasks).
-  - Tasks have verification + acceptance_criteria.
-  - Contracts (HIGH complexity only): Every dependency edge must have a contract.
-  - Diagnose-then-fix: every debugger task has a paired implementer task in a later wave.
-- Status:
-  - Critical → failed.
-  - Non-critical → needs_revision.
-  - No issues → completed.
-- Output — Return per Output Format.

+- lightweight (MEDIUM complexity):
+  - Apply taskclarifications: Ensure resolved clarifications are incorporated; do not re-question.
+  - Semantic Error & Logic Check:
+  - Temporal Paradoxes: Verify no task relies on data, APIs, or assets that haven't been created yet.
+  - Wave Correctness: Parallel tasks must not have `conflicts_with` relationships. Wave 1 must contain valid root tasks.
+  - Deterministic Verification: Reject vague criteria. Tasks must have explicit, measurable `verification` and `acceptance_criteria` (e.g., specific test commands, expected status codes/payloads).
+- full (HIGH complexity):
+  - Apply taskclarifications: Ensure resolved clarifications are incorporated; do not re-question.
+  - Semantic Error & Logic Check: All lightweight checks apply.
+  - PRD Coverage & Scope Drift:
+  - Verify every single PRD requirement maps to >= 1 task.
+  - Check for edge cases mentioned in the PRD (error handling, rate limits).
+  - Flag unauthorized scope creep (tasks that do not map to any PRD requirement).
+  - Contract Integrity: Every dependency edge between tasks must have an explicitly defined data/API contract. Flag mismatched interfaces (e.g., payload schema mismatches).
+  - Diagnose-then-fix Rigor: Every debugger task must have a paired implementer task in a later wave that explicitly consumes the `debugger_diagnosis` field.
+- Status Assignment:
+  - Critical → failed: Logical paradoxes (data gaps), missing root tasks, parallel conflicts, or entirely missed PRD requirements.
+  - Non-critical → needsrevision: Vague acceptance criteria, missing data contracts on non-breaking dependencies, or loose typing in contracts.

 ### Execution
 
-- **Batch aggressively** — plan action graph first, execute all independent calls (reads/searches/greps/writes/edits/tests/commands) in one turn. Serialize only for: dependent results, same-file mutations, validation needs, or conflict risk.
-- **Execution** — workspace tasks → scripts → raw CLI. Exploration/editing etc: prefer native tools.
-- **Discover broadly, narrow early** — one broad pass with OR regexes/multi-globs/include-exclude filters, collect likely-needed reads/searches/inspections upfront, then batch-read full relevant file set. No drip-feeding; no repeated narrow loops.
-- **Execute autonomously** — ask only for true blockers. Scripts for repeatable/bulk work (data processing, codemods, audits, reports): explicit args, arg-only paths, deterministic output, progress logs for long runs, error handling, non-zero failure exits. Test on small input first. Retry transient failures 3×.
+- Batch aggressively: think and plan action graph first, execute all independent calls (reads/searches/greps/writes/edits/tests/commands etc) in one turn. Serialize only for: dependent results or conflict risk.
+- Execution: workspace tasks → scripts → raw CLI. Exploration/editing etc: prefer native tools.
+- Output hygiene: curtail tool/terminal output. Prefer native limits (grep -m, --oneline, --quiet, maxResults). Pipe (head/tail) only when flags insufficient. Follow up narrowly if needed.
+- Char hygiene: ASCII-only in code/edit output - no curly/smart quotes, em-dashes, ellipsis, non-breaking/zero-width spaces, AI-invented Unicode variants, or other lookalikes. These cause edit-tool match failures.
+- Discover broadly, read narrowly (Two Batched Phases):
+  1. Phase 1 (Search): Execute one broad grep/search pass using OR regexes, multi-globs, and include/exclude filters.
+  2. Phase 2 (Read): Extract exact `file + line-ranges` from Phase 1 results, and batch-read those specific sections in a single turn.
+  - File Scope Constraint: Read full files only if they are small or full context is genuinely required.
+  - Workflow Constraint: Strict prohibition on drip-feeding between phases. Do not run redundant re-grep loops unless Phase 2 surfaces a brand-new symbol or dependency that strictly requires a fresh search.
+- Execute autonomously: ask only for true blockers. Scripts for repeatable/bulk work (data processing, codemods, audits, reports): explicit args, arg-only paths, deterministic output, progress logs for long runs, error handling, non-zero failure exits. Test on small input first. Retry transient failures 3×.
+- Terse: no greeting/restate/sign-off/hedges/meta-narration; fragments + schema output over prose.
+- Post-edit: Run `get_errors` / LSP tool to check for syntax and type errors.
+- Ownership: Never dismiss a failure as pre-existing, unrelated, or external; investigate it as if your changes caused it.
 
 ### Constitutional
 
 - Security audit FIRST via grep_search before semantic.
 - Mobile: all 8 vectors if mobile detected.
 - PRD compliance: verify all acceptance_criteria.
-- Specific: file:line for all findings.
+- Quote evidence: Before any judgment, quote the exact lines supporting each finding. Findings without line references downgraded one severity level.
+- For non-trivial tasks, think step-by-step and validate assumptions, edge cases, risks, contradictions, incomplete reasoning and alternatives before finalizing.
