Goal Mode Completion Contract: `waiting-on-checks-or-review` is not an overall Goal-mode terminal state. Do not mark goal complete while any target has pending, missing, or untriaged current-head CI or configured review agents, unresolved current-head review threads, fixable failures, or UNKNOWN; poll/triage/fix or report NOT COMPLETE / blocked with exact resume instructions after an explicit watch window or real external blocker. A batch with 5 PRs, 3 pending hosted checks, and clean review threads is NOT COMPLETE. `ready-no-merge-authority` is terminal only when `merge_authority` does not allow merging. With `auto_merge_when_gates_pass`, done means merged and closed out unless a real blocker prevents it.

217-
no File-touch map slot. If an `UNKNOWN`, unlisted, or other-lane path is
218-
needed, stop, report discovered paths, and wait for an updated map or explicit
219-
coordinator confirmation before editing.

- Resolve `base_branch` from `.agents/agent-workflow.yml`; run `git fetch --prune origin <base-branch>`; verify installed or repo-local `$pr-batch` and `pr-processing.md` before launch; if unresolved, stop with workflow state `UNKNOWN`.
212+
- Follow the resolved `$pr-batch` template; if skill autoloading is unavailable, copy its safety, review, /simplify, CI, and readiness gates.

- Sequenced lanes may share declared files only in the stated order.
221216
- Each subagent must verify current GitHub state before edits and report UNKNOWN for unverifiable facts.
