When the runtime exposes the Workflow tool and claude_orchestration.execution_backend resolves to 'workflow', execute-phase emits a generated Workflow script (waves -> parallel() barriers, plans -> agent({ agentType: 'gsd-executor', isolation: 'worktree' }), files_modified overlap -> separate sequential stages, resumeFromRunId wired to the phase run id, shared token budget) that composes the SAME gsd-executor agent and worktree isolation the inline path uses, restoring the wave parallelism the #853 backgrounded-agent nesting limitation forces inline on Claude Code. (The plan-checker and verifier remain inline until separately wired — this capability delivers the parallel-execution backend, not those gates.) Also folds the ultraplan plan-offload under one runtime gate (plan:* surface). On any runtime lacking the Workflow tool, or when the capability is disabled, behaviour is byte-identical to today (inline/manual dispatch). Detection + emission live in gsd-core/bin/lib/claude-orchestration.cjs (pure, fail-closed). Mirrors the existing gsd-ultraplan-phase BETA-isolation posture.",

Gated by activationKey workflow.live_dom_uat (default false), so with the key off the capability resolves inactive and the hook does not render at all. NOTE on the browser profile lock: chrome-devtools-mcp holds an exclusive lock on $HOME/.cache/chrome-devtools-mcp/chrome-profile, and --isolated is a flag on the user's own MCP-server registration that GSD cannot pass. Concurrent execution waves sharing one profile will therefore collide; the step tolerates and reports that (onError: skip, never blocking) rather than pretending to coordinate a resource it does not own.",
