Progress

Run this skill after the user explicitly invokes $progress, or when an already-established persistent goal contract requires $progress recovery at a continuation, resume, compaction, or handoff. Do not infer the latter from an ordinary planning request. Treat the planning system as manually selected project memory: reconcile it with direct instructions and repository evidence before relying on it. In goal mode, keep two independent truths: the project queue says what the project should do next, while the goal contract says what the active run is authorized to execute.

A request may authorize more than one phase. Finish and validate each phase, then redispatch the next authorized operation through this entry point; recover goal authority before execution. A planning-only phase never grants implementation or delivery authority by itself.
