+This lead/delegate/review sequence is the required default for feature work,
+not an optional optimization. Before writing feature implementation, the lead
+must identify bounded coding slices and dispatch them to cheaper coding agents
+(for example Luna) whenever the orchestration environment exposes those models.
+The frontier lead should normally restrict its own edits to shared contracts,

+If agent spawning is available but cheaper-model selection is not exposed, the

 Delegate bounded coding tasks to cheaper/lower-cost agents whenever the
 orchestration environment supports model selection. Coding agents should
 implement clearly specified slices; they should not independently redefine the
