Execution Lifecycle

Execution lifecycle: a request is classified as Spike, Bounded, or Architectural; all paths converge on Brainstorming (Gate 1) then a Visual Implementation Plan (Gate 2 – Hard Human Approval); optional Deep Research with Graphify preflight can inject evidence; execution routes to TDD, Systematic Debugging (4-Phase RCA), or Subagent Orchestration (chunk → 10+ fan-out → gather → audit loop); a Verification gate (Gate 3) precedes Finishing and Git Hygiene; session closes with a Debt Sweep and Multi-Select Follow-Up Question; Compaction preserves state across context resets.
