-## Install and route
+For install, activation, repair, or diagnosis, load `install` only. Resolve the
+project, host, Coding Agent, Python/package policy, and Skill scope from evidence;
+ask only when clients or scopes materially differ. A failure report authorizes
+diagnosis, not repair. Use `autogenesis install`, preserve unrelated MCP config,
+reload the current Agent, and prove its MCP discovery and Contract identity.
+Shell entrypoints are not Machine Ready; do not repeat already-proven checks.
+
+For readiness, load `readiness-common`, exactly one target profile, and
+`appium-environment` only when an Appium route lacks Node/npm/Appium evidence.
+Android uses `android-readiness`; simulators use `ios-simulator-readiness`;
+physical Apple devices use `ios-real-device-readiness`; native macOS uses
+`macos-readiness`; native Windows uses `windows-readiness`.
+Use Appium MCP for Android, iOS, and native macOS. Use Windows MCP for native
+Windows.
 
-For installation or repair, load `install`; use `autogenesis install` and do not
-inspect a platform target. Use Appium MCP for Android, iOS/tvOS, and native macOS.
-Use Windows MCP for native Windows desktop. Linux and WSL stop before mutation.
-Before the CLI exists, follow the immutable Agent Install Prompt: authenticate the
-Release manifest and hash lock, install exact first-party wheels through the
-user-selected index without fallback, then run `autogenesis install`. Preserve the
-chosen Python environment and Skill scope. Once the CLI exists, `install` supplies
-the authenticated repair and verification details.
+Appium setup remains delegated to authenticated workflows loaded with
+`autogenesis appium-workflow <id> --json`: `setup-uiautomator2`,
+`setup-xcuitest`, `xcuitest-real-device-config`, `setup-mac2`, and supported
+`appium-troubleshooting`. Never run a same-named project workflow/helper or copy
+official version, doctor, and setup rules. Use the Coding Agent's normal terminal
+for authenticated official checks.
 
-For readiness, load `readiness-common` and exactly one target profile. Android
-uses `android-readiness`; iOS/tvOS simulator uses `ios-simulator-readiness`;
-physical iOS/tvOS uses `ios-real-device-readiness`; native macOS uses
-`macos-readiness`; native Windows uses `windows-readiness`.
-For any Appium target, also load `appium-environment` before official setup when
-Node/npm/Appium evidence is missing. It owns the bounded credential-safe checks
-that replace excluded upstream environment and broad smoke helpers.
+## Select evidence, not names or paths
 
-Appium setup remains delegated to authenticated official workflows loaded with
-`autogenesis appium-workflow <id> --json`: Android `setup-uiautomator2`, shared
-iOS/tvOS `setup-xcuitest`, physical-device continuation
-`xcuitest-real-device-config`, native macOS `setup-mac2`, and supported existing
-failures `appium-troubleshooting`. Do not copy, replace, or run a same-named
-project workflow/helper. Use the Coding Agent's normal terminal for the official
-environment, version, doctor, status, and troubleshooting steps.
+For every required layer distinguish configured, detected, selected, rejected,
+and unverified candidates. A PATH miss, variable, directory, import, inventory,
+tested-version list, `/status`, or historical success is not capability proof.
+Execute the bounded relevant probe, prefer a working existing candidate, and use
+one temporary task environment across official checks, server, MCP, and session.
+One failed candidate does not justify installation.
 
-## Decide readiness truthfully
+Classify dependencies as `satisfied-constraints`, `warning-only`, `unverified`,
+`observed-requirement-violation`, or `proven-incompatible`. A compatible newer
+version is warning-only, not an upgrade/downgrade trigger. Rerun only checks
+affected by an applied change.
+
+Before protected changes disclose one immutable effect set with action, source,
+destination, persistence, reason, consequences, rollback, and verification.
+Ask once; plan drift alone needs fresh approval. Keep technical work Agent-owned.
+`Action Required` contains one user-only action.
+
+## Prove the requested level
 
 Use `Machine Ready`, `Target Prepared`, `Live Ready`, `Task Passed`,
-`Task Failed`, `Action Required`, or `Blocked` precisely. `Target Prepared` proves
-applicable prerequisites, not live automation. `Live Ready` requires the selected
-platform MCP, `prompts/list`, live schemas, matching
-`autogenesis://agent-contract/identity`, one real target session or Windows
-binding, the intended application/window, and observed UI. Doctor, `/status`,
-inventory, a session ID, or narration alone is not Live Ready.
-
-Run relevant observation automatically. Prefer verified existing capabilities and
-a temporary task environment. A tested-version list is not an allowlist. Ask once
-before an immutable plan for installation, persistent configuration, permissions,
-credentials, signing/trust, license acceptance, destructive action, or writes;
-plan drift requires fresh approval. `Action Required` contains one genuinely
-user-owned action. Never push Agent-owned discovery, diagnosis, or verification
-to the user.
-
-## Execute and report
+`Task Failed`, `Action Required`, or `Blocked` precisely. `Machine Ready`
+requires the current Agent connection and matching Contract. `Target Prepared`
+proves applicable static layers without a disposable session. `Live Ready`
+requires the selected MCP, live schemas, matching
+`autogenesis://agent-contract/identity`, one real session or Windows binding,
+the intended application/window, and observed UI. Doctor, inventory, session ID,
+or narration alone is insufficient.
 
 After Live Ready, load `execution-common` and the applicable execution reference.
 Direct requests use `execute_natural_language_task`. Exact BDD execution sends
-the unchanged Background then selected Scenario to `execute_scenario`. Only an
-explicit recording/generation request uses `generate_scenario_test`; generated
-code writes only after the current preview identity/digest and enforced approval.
+the unchanged Background then Scenario to `execute_scenario`. Only an explicit
+recording/generation request uses `generate_scenario_test`; writes retain the
+existing preview and Runtime approval enforcement.
 
 Prefer semantic controls and bounded state evidence; use visual evidence only
-when required. Recover from observed state, never blind identical retries, and do
-not replay an irreversible action with unknown outcome. Stop on cancellation,
-denial, scope failure, non-retryable failure, or the third unsuccessful attempt.
-
-Answer the original request with the observed business result separately from
-readiness. Report Runtime, server, ADB, simulator/emulator, WDA, session/binding,
-application ownership, and cleanup only when applicable. Never expose plaintext
-secrets, credential-bearing URLs, raw sensitive diagnostics, or unrelated data.
+when required. Reconcile state before retry and never replay an irreversible
+action with unknown outcome. Stop on cancellation, denial, scope failure,
+non-retryable failure, or the third unsuccessful attempt.
