One loop from idea to shipped, against the living spec (glossary + ADRs). The spec trails the code: a decision earns an immutable ADR only after code proves it; until then it's a mutable draft in the brief, never in the ADR directory.

Gates

• Autonomous: ask, brief, draft decisions, run checks, assemble the PR.
• Hard: the confirm gate before any code change; the draft review before freezing; durable writes go through record; every commit, defaulting to one commit on the current branch, with branch, push, and PR only on request. Never merge.

The loop

Spine: discover → confirm gate → build → freeze → verify → deliver. The confirm gate is a hard stop: never write code until the user gives an explicit go-ahead. Re-enter discover from build or review whenever your mind changes.
