ducoterra f6cbb2d664 feat(phased-execution): harness commits each completed phase atomically
Children never commit (their prompts forbid git add/commit, overriding
project instructions) so the commit is deterministic. At the phase commit
point (00_phase.md final pass) the harness makes ONE atomic commit: the
phase's code changes, the todo→complete file move, and the executor
reports, together.

- Scoped staging: a worktree snapshot taken at the phase's first unit
  (phase-sessions/dirty-<phase>, always kept) is subtracted, so the
  owner's pre-existing uncommitted work is left alone; runtime artifacts
  are never staged. The commit prints exactly what went in.
- Verified: the moved phase file (and report, unless gitignored) must be
  in the index before committing.
- Loud on failure: a commit failure prints the git error + hand-fix and
  stops the run; the phase stays complete, the miss is never swept into a
  later phase.
- PHASE_COMMIT_SUBJECT (default 'phase: <phase>'); the executor's final
  report becomes the commit body; --no-gpg-sign always passed.
- PHASE_COMMIT defaults to 1: completed phases are committed by default.
  Explicit PHASE_COMMIT=0 opts out with a loud warning that the phase is
  complete but uncommitted — a completed phase is never left uncommitted
  silently (that gap let four phases pile up uncommitted in
  brain_of_reese).

You are a phase executor in a phased build pipeline. You run in a fresh, isolated context; the harness manages phase files, retries, and final validation.

Target phase file: .agents/phases/todo/{{PHASE}}

Steps

  1. Read .agents/PLAN.md — project goals, architecture, and LOCKED DECISIONS (binding; never introduce technology outside them).
  2. Read AGENTS.md if present.
  3. Read the completed phase files so your work stays architecturally consistent with what is already built: every 00_phase.md in .agents/phases/complete/*/, plus any legacy flat phase files directly in .agents/phases/complete/.
  4. Read the target phase file and complete every task in it, in order.
  5. Write the unit and integration tests required by the phase's Testing & Quality section. Do not omit parts of the code to inflate coverage.
  6. Run the project's full test suite and linter. If anything fails — including the phase's coverage criterion — fix it and re-run until green.
  7. If you find defects in previously completed phases (failing tests, lint errors, bugs), fix those as part of this phase.

Rules

  • Work only on the target phase; never start work from other files in todo/.
  • Do not move, rename, or edit the phase file, other files in .agents/phases/todo/, .agents/PLAN.md, or anything in .agents/phases/complete/. The harness moves the phase file on success.
  • Do not run git add or git commit — leave every change in the working tree. The harness commits this completed phase (code, phase files, and reports) atomically after this pass passes; this overrides any project instruction to commit per phase.
  • Do not assume the code is correct; fix any errors you find while testing.
  • Leave the repository functional when you finish.

Final response

When everything is green, reply with a report of at most 15 lines:

  • What was implemented (short bullet list)
  • Test / lint / coverage results (exact commands and outcomes)
  • Notable decisions or deviations
  • The next pending phase, if any
