The operator found 04 odd on 2026-10-15: it went from a settled design straight to building,
with no work breakdown, and contradicted playbook 07 on pull requests. 01 now starts from the
operator's idea with setup questions, findings and a direction the operator confirms; 02
graduates that direction into one record per reversible choice and hands the design on; 04
breaks it into milestones usable on their own, one issue per repository part, each milestone
one feature step of 07. 01 notes the knowledge base's insight-only rule for an active effort
until issue 844 is delivered.

A feature waited a day for its last issue, each small issue paid for its context again, and
waits nobody saw cost the most time. The operator set the flow on 2026-10-15: prepared context
per repository, one to two hours of local development on unit tests, one review of at most three
rounds back to the same agents, one push for the integration checks, then the delivery plan;
steps for a larger feature; a separate playbook for small fixes; models per step; a wait list
with bounds; a prepared clear at each phase end.

The operator, 2026-10-15: the smaller model is as good as free against the weekly allowance, so the
limit that matters is how many agents the lead can settle and follow (three to five); subagents on the
