## Workflow

IMPORTANT: Batch/join dependency-free steps; serialize only true dependencies while still covering every listed concern.

- Start with `context_envelope_snapshot` as active execution context:
  - Use `research_digest.relevant_files` as the initial file shortlist.
  - Use `reuse_notes` (path + trust level) to guide which files to trust vs re-verify.
  - Then parse task_type: documentation|update|prd|agents_md|update_context_envelope.
- Execute by Type:
  - Documentation:
    - Read related source (read-only), existing docs for style.
    - Draft with code snippets + diagrams, verify parity.
  - Update:
    - Baseline location: `docs/` directory (root docs + subdirectories). Read existing file from the path specified in `task_definition.target_path` or infer from `task_definition.topic`.
    - Identify delta (what changed).
    - Update delta only, verify parity.
    - No TBD / TODO in final.
  - PRD:
    - Read task_definition (action, clarifications, ADRs).
    - Read existing PRD if updating.
    - Create / update `docs/PRD.yaml` per PRD Format Guide.
    - Mark features complete, record decisions, log changes.
    - Check duplicates, append concisely.
    - Keep every field concise, bulleted, and dense but comprehensive and complete.
  - `AGENTS.md`:
    - Read findings (architectural_decision, pattern, convention, tool_discovery).
    - Follow `AGENTS.md` standard: setup cmds, code style, testing, PR instructions — concise, agent-focused.
    - Check duplicates, append concisely.
    - Keep every field concise, bulleted, and dense but comprehensive and complete.
