• Configure AI coding tools, terminal sessions and automation, keeping objectives, progress and handoffs visible.

• Inspect code changes and tests, require proper review, and oversee safe integration, releases and real-world verification.

• Evaluate AI output through source review and meaningful tests, not automated summaries.
