Lightweight planning tasks are managed using a single-page task file that enforces a formal approval gate before execution. This workflow ensures scoped work is properly audited and checked for drift before implementation begins.

In-between tasks in a shared worktree are tracked using a durable task wrapper and a live execution checklist. This approach maintains lifecycle governance and applies drift checks to keep work properly scoped.

When task plans outgrow a single page, you escalate them to a master and sub-task series within the shared worktree. This escalation preserves the durable task file lifecycle while expanding scope.

A coordination framework is required to enforce governance checks, onboarding propagation, and memory-quality controls. It validates the live execution checklist and ensures ongoing task alignment across the worktree.

A single-page task plan is used for scoped, lightweight tasks requiring quick approval gates and direct execution. If plans outgrow this page, escalate to a master and sub-task series to maintain auditability.

Drift checks and onboarding updates are required to maintain memory-quality controls and governance across the shared worktree lifecycle. They ensure the live execution checklist remains aligned with the formal approval gate.
