Core half of #1105: a legal external_job_waiting deferred state so an async-dispatched Execute step (committing a .planning/async-jobs/<job>.json manifest, deferring SUMMARY.md) is not an illegal partial. execute-phase safe-resume, resume-project, and pause-work reconcile against the versioned scheduler-agnostic manifest stability contract without re-dispatching; the producer is the capability half (#1164). Closes #1165.

<atomic_close_out_invariant>
For each executed plan, the only complete close-out order is:
production-code commit(s) -> SUMMARY commit -> STATE/ROADMAP update.
For a synchronous executor, the only legal half-state is mid-production-commits while the executor is still actively working. Once production commits for a plan exist, returning without a committed SUMMARY.md is an illegal partial-plan state. The next execute-phase resume must detect that condition before dispatching another executor.
Async exception — external_job_waiting. When an executor dispatches an
async external job (long-running compute) it commits an async-job manifest at
.planning/async-jobs/<job>.json and returns without SUMMARY.md. With a
manifest recording a non-terminal job for this plan, the SUMMARY-absent state is
a legal deferred state (external_job_waiting), not an illegal partial.
SUMMARY.md is deferred until the external job reaches a terminal state and its
output is verified. Resume reconciles against the manifest and must NOT
re-dispatch a fresh executor for a plan with a non-terminal manifest (that would
duplicate the external job). The manifest schema is the stability contract in
docs/reference/planning-artifacts.md; the scheduler adapter that writes it is
a capability (#1164), not core.

Primary routing: task count threshold (#1979)
If INLINE_THRESHOLD > 0 AND TASK_COUNT <= INLINE_THRESHOLD: Use Pattern C (inline) regardless of checkpoint type. Small plans execute faster inline — avoids ~14K token subagent spawn overhead and preserves prompt cache. Configure threshold via workflow.inline_plan_threshold (default: 2, set to 0 to always spawn subagents).
Otherwise: Apply checkpoint-based routing below.
Checkpoint-based routing (plans with > threshold tasks):
| Checkpoints | Pattern | Execution |
|---|---|---|
| None | A (autonomous) | Single subagent: full plan + SUMMARY + commit |
| Verify-only | B (segmented) | Segments between checkpoints. After none/human-verify → SUBAGENT. After decision/human-action → MAIN |
| Decision | C (main) | Execute entirely in main context |
Pattern A: init_agent_tracking → capture EXPECTED_BASE=$(git rev-parse HEAD) → print Spawning executor agent (runs in a subagent — no output until it returns, ~1–5 min; expected, not a freeze) → spawn Agent(subagent_type="gsd-executor", model=executor_model) with prompt: execute plan at [path], autonomous, all tasks + SUMMARY + commit, follow deviation/auth rules, report: plan name, tasks, SUMMARY path, commit hash → track agent_id → wait → update tracking → report. Include isolation="worktree" only if workflow.use_worktrees is not false (read via config-get workflow.use_worktrees). When using isolation="worktree", embed the <worktree_branch_check> block from gsd-core/references/worktree-branch-check.md into the prompt, substituting {EXPECTED_BASE} with the captured base SHA. That guard is verify-only and fail-closed (#48): it asserts a per-agent worktree-agent-* branch and the exact base, forbids git update-ref self-recovery (#2924), and on any mismatch prints FATAL: and exit 42 so the orchestrator can recover — the sub-agent never rewrites a worktree it did not create. This supersedes the former self-recovery (#2015), whose destructive base rewrite could fail silently under a deny rule; the base-drift it addressed affects all platforms, and base correction is now the orchestrator's responsibility.
Pattern B: Execute segment-by-segment. Autonomous segments: spawn subagent for assigned tasks only (no SUMMARY/commit). Checkpoints: main context. After all segments: aggregate, create SUMMARY, commit. See segment_execution.
Pattern C: Execute in main using standard flow (step name="execute").
Fresh context per subagent preserves peak quality. Main context stays lean.
```bash if [ ! -f .planning/agent-history.json ]; then echo '{"version":"1.0","max_entries":50,"entries":[]}' > .planning/agent-history.json fi rm -f .planning/current-agent-id.txt if [ -f .planning/current-agent-id.txt ]; then INTERRUPTED_ID=$(cat .planning/current-agent-id.txt) echo "Found interrupted agent: $INTERRUPTED_ID" fi ```If interrupted: ask user to resume (Task resume parameter) or start fresh.
Tracking protocol: On spawn: write agent_id to current-agent-id.txt, append to agent-history.json: {"agent_id":"[id]","task_description":"[desc]","phase":"[phase]","plan":"[plan]","segment":[num|null],"timestamp":"[ISO]","status":"spawned","completion_timestamp":null}. On completion: status → "completed", set completion_timestamp, delete current-agent-id.txt. Prune: if entries > max_entries, remove oldest "completed" (never "spawned").
Run for Pattern A/B before spawning. Pattern C: skip.
Pattern B only (verify-only checkpoints). Skip for A/C.-
Parse segment map: checkpoint locations and types
-
Per segment:
- Subagent route: spawn gsd-executor for assigned tasks only. Prompt: task range, plan path, read full plan for context, execute assigned tasks, track deviations, NO SUMMARY/commit. Track via agent protocol.
- Main route: execute tasks using standard flow (step name="execute")
-
Critical ordering — write and commit SUMMARY.md as one atomic block. Do NOT emit narrative output between the Write tool call and the commit tool call. Truncation at this boundary is a known failure mode (see #2070 rescue logic in execute-phase.md step 5.5).
After ALL segments: aggregate files/deviations/decisions → create SUMMARY.md → self-check:
- Verify key-files.created exist on disk with
[ -f ] - Check
git log --oneline --all --grep="{phase}-{plan}"returns ≥1 commit - Re-run ALL
<acceptance_criteria>from every task — if any fail, fix before finalizing SUMMARY - Re-run the plan-level
<verification>commands — log results in SUMMARY - Append
## Self-Check: PASSEDor## Self-Check: FAILEDto SUMMARY Then commit (no narrative between Write and commit).
Known Claude Code bug (classifyHandoffIfNeeded): If any segment agent reports "failed" with
classifyHandoffIfNeeded is not defined, this is a Claude Code runtime bug — not a real failure. Run spot-checks; if they pass, treat as successful. - Verify key-files.created exist on disk with
If plan contains <interfaces> block: These are pre-extracted type definitions and contracts. Use them directly — do NOT re-read the source files to discover types. The planner already extracted what you need.
Text mode (workflow.text_mode: true in config or --text flag): Set TEXT_MODE=true if --text is present in $ARGUMENTS OR text_mode from init JSON is true. When TEXT_MODE is active, replace every AskUserQuestion call with a plain-text numbered list and ask the user to type their choice number. This is required for non-Claude runtimes (OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, etc.) where AskUserQuestion is not available.
If previous SUMMARY has unresolved "Issues Encountered" or "Next Phase Readiness" blockers: AskUserQuestion(header="Previous Issues", options: "Proceed anyway" | "Address first" | "Review previous").
- Read @context files from prompt
- MCP tools: If CLAUDE.md or project instructions reference MCP tools (e.g. jCodeMunch for code navigation), prefer them over Grep/Glob when available. Fall back to Grep/Glob if MCP tools are not accessible.
- Per task:
- MANDATORY read_first gate: If the task has a
<read_first>field, you MUST read every listed file BEFORE making any edits. This is not optional. Do not skip files because you "already know" what's in them — read them. The read_first files establish ground truth for the task. type="auto": iftdd="true"→ TDD execution. Implement with deviation rules + auth gates. Verify done criteria. Commit (see task_commit). Track hash for Summary.type="checkpoint:*": STOP → checkpoint_protocol → wait for user → continue only after confirmation.- HARD GATE — acceptance_criteria verification: After completing each task, if it has
<acceptance_criteria>, you MUST run a verification loop before proceeding:- For each criterion: execute the grep, file check, or CLI command that proves it passes
- Log each result as PASS or FAIL with the command output
- If ANY criterion fails: fix the implementation immediately, then re-run ALL criteria
- Repeat until all criteria pass — you are BLOCKED from starting the next task until this gate clears
- If a criterion cannot be satisfied after 2 fix attempts, log it as a deviation with reason — do NOT silently skip it This is not advisory. A task with failing acceptance criteria is an incomplete task.

Authentication Gates
Auth errors during execution are NOT failures — they're expected interaction points.
Indicators: "Not authenticated", "Unauthorized", 401/403, "Please run {tool} login", "Set {ENV_VAR}"
Protocol:
- Recognize auth gate (not a bug)
- STOP task execution
- Create dynamic checkpoint:human-action with exact auth steps
- Wait for user to authenticate
- Verify credentials work
- Retry original task
- Continue normally
Example: vercel --yes → "Not authenticated" → checkpoint asking user to vercel login → verify with vercel whoami → retry deploy → continue
In Summary: Document as normal flow under "## Authentication Gates", not as deviations.
</authentication_gates>
<deviation_rules>
Deviation Rules
Apply deviation rules from the gsd-executor agent definition (single source of truth):
- Rules 1-3 (bugs, missing critical, blockers): auto-fix, test, verify, track as deviations
- Rule 4 (architectural changes): STOP, present decision to user, await approval
- Scope boundary: do not auto-fix pre-existing issues unrelated to current task
- Fix attempt limit: max 3 retries per deviation before escalating
- Priority: Rule 4 (STOP) > Rules 1-3 (auto) > unsure → Rule 4
</deviation_rules>
<deviation_documentation>
Documenting Deviations
Summary MUST include deviations section. None? → ## Deviations from Plan\n\nNone - plan executed exactly as written.
Per deviation: [Rule N - Category] Title — Found during: Task X | Issue | Fix | Files modified | Verification | Commit hash
End with: Total deviations: N auto-fixed (breakdown). Impact: assessment.

TDD Execution
For type: tdd plans — RED-GREEN-REFACTOR:
- Infrastructure (first TDD plan only): detect project, install framework, config, verify empty suite
- RED: Read
<behavior>→ failing test(s) → run (MUST fail) → commit:test({phase}-{plan}): add failing test for [feature] - GREEN: Read
<implementation>→ minimal code → run (MUST pass) → commit:feat({phase}-{plan}): implement [feature] - REFACTOR: Clean up → tests MUST pass → commit:
refactor({phase}-{plan}): clean up [feature]
Errors: RED doesn't fail → investigate test/existing feature. GREEN doesn't pass → debug, iterate. REFACTOR breaks → undo.

<precommit_failure_handling>
Pre-commit Hook Failure Handling
Your commits may trigger pre-commit hooks. Auto-fix hooks handle themselves transparently — files get fixed and re-staged automatically.
If running as a parallel executor agent (spawned by execute-phase):
Run commits normally — let pre-commit hooks run. Do NOT use --no-verify by default
(#2924). Hooks should run so issues surface at the introducing commit, and silent
bypass violates project CLAUDE.md guidance. If a project explicitly opts out via
workflow.worktree_skip_hooks=true, the orchestrator will surface that flag in the
prompt; absent that signal, hooks run normally. If a hook fails, follow the
sequential-mode handling below.
If running as the sole executor (sequential mode): If a commit is BLOCKED by a hook:
- The
git commitcommand fails with hook error output - Read the error — it tells you exactly which hook and what failed
- Fix the issue (type error, lint violation, secret leak, etc.)
git addthe fixed files- Retry the commit
- Budget 1-2 retry cycles per commit </precommit_failure_handling>
<task_commit>
Task Commit Protocol
Canonical per-task commit rules live in agents/gsd-executor.md (<task_commit_protocol>). Follow that section for staging, {type}({phase}-{plan}) messages, commit-to-subrepo when sub_repos is set, post-commit checks, and untracked-file handling — do not duplicate or paraphrase the full protocol here (single source of truth).
Orchestrator note: After each task, the spawned executor reports commit hashes; this workflow does not re-specify commit semantics beyond pointing at the executor.
</task_commit>
On `type="checkpoint:*"`: automate everything possible first. Checkpoints are for verification/decisions only.Display: CHECKPOINT: [Type] box → Progress {X}/{Y} → Task name → type-specific content → YOUR ACTION: [signal]
| Type | Content | Resume signal |
|---|---|---|
| human-verify (90%) | What was built + verification steps (commands/URLs) | "approved" or describe issues |
| decision (9%) | Decision needed + context + options with pros/cons | "Select: option-id" |
| human-action (1%) | What was automated + ONE manual step + verification plan | "done" |
After response: verify if specified. Pass → continue. Fail → inform, wait. WAIT for user — do NOT hallucinate completion.
See ~/.claude/gsd-core/references/checkpoints.md for details.
When spawned via Task and hitting checkpoint: return structured state (cannot interact with user directly).Required return: 1) Completed Tasks table (hashes + files) 2) Current Task (what's blocking) 3) Checkpoint Details (user-facing content) 4) Awaiting (what's needed from user)
Orchestrator parses → presents to user → spawns fresh continuation with your completed tasks state. You will NOT be resumed. In main context: use checkpoint_protocol above.
If verification fails:Check if node repair is enabled (default: on):
NODE_REPAIR=$(gsd_run query config-get workflow.node_repair 2>/dev/null || echo "true")
If NODE_REPAIR is true: invoke @./.claude/gsd-core/workflows/node-repair.md with:
- FAILED_TASK: task number, name, done-criteria
- ERROR: expected vs actual result
- PLAN_CONTEXT: adjacent task names + phase goal
- REPAIR_BUDGET:
workflow.node_repair_budgetfrom config (default: 2)
Node repair will attempt RETRY, DECOMPOSE, or PRUNE autonomously. Only reaches this gate again if repair budget is exhausted (ESCALATE).
If NODE_REPAIR is false OR repair returns ESCALATE: STOP. Present: "Verification failed for Task [X]: [name]. Expected: [criteria]. Actual: [result]. Repair attempted: [summary of what was tried]." Options: Retry | Skip (mark incomplete) | Stop (investigate). If skipped → SUMMARY "Issues Encountered".

IS_WORKTREE=$([ -f .git ] && echo "true" || echo "false")

Run this step only when NOT executing inside a git worktree (i.e. `use_worktrees: false`, the bug #2661 reproducer). In worktree mode each worktree has its own ROADMAP.md, so per-plan writes here would diverge across siblings; the orchestrator owns the post-merge sync centrally (see execute-phase.md §5.7, single-writer contract from #1486 /dcb50396).
