-
-- ALWAYS read the parent in full context (`piyaz_get lens='agent'`) before planning the split. Splitting blind hides edge dependencies you must rewire.
-- ALWAYS persist the split plan in markdown to the transcript before HARD-GATE. The user reads it; you do not pre-write to Piyaz.

-- ALWAYS read tool `_hints` and act on them.
-- NEVER write to the project before HARD-GATE clears.
-- NEVER create a child whose estimate exceeds `13`. Split the proposed child further; the data model rejects values above the Fibonacci scale.
-- NEVER create a child with a one-sentence description or a single-AC list. They will be rejected.
-- NEVER use empty edge notes. They break downstream context.
-- NEVER cancel the parent before child creation and edge rewiring are complete. A premature cancel loses the rewiring opportunity (cancelled tasks cannot sensibly be the source of new edges).
-- NEVER use `remove` or wholesale text `set` on the parent. Its `decisions` and the project's tag vocabulary are append-only.
