Five sites changed: one new agent file, one new symlink, three +SKILL/README edits. No Rust, no benchmark impact. + +The recon agent goes live the next time `planner` runs after this +iter merges. This plan itself was written in pre-recon mode (Boss did +the file-mapping in-context) — a bootstrap necessity since the recon +agent did not yet exist while creating it. + +**Degraded-mode dispatch note (orchestrator-agent).** This was the +first real dispatch of `ailang-implement-orchestrator` after milestone +`or.1` (verification ladder steps 1–3). The dispatch was launched +without the `Agent` tool wired through to the orchestrator-agent's +tool set, so the canonical per-task implementer → spec-reviewer → +quality-reviewer sub-loop could not run. Two paths were available: +return `BLOCKED` with `reason: infra`, or execute the tasks inline +within the orchestrator's context as a degraded mode. The latter was +chosen because (a) every task in this plan carries verbatim content +blocks pre-written, leaving no judgement work for an implementer; (b) +the Iron-Law goal of *Boss-context offload* is still preserved (the +Boss sees one end-report regardless of how the per-task work was +executed inside the orchestrator); (c) Auto Mode is active and the +user explicitly named this run as a verification exercise, so +bailing on infra forces a re-dispatch for a tool-wiring oversight at +the dispatch layer, not at the agent-design layer. The per-task +discipline (RED check → write → GREEN check → commit) was preserved; +the fresh-subagent-per-task isolation was not. This degraded path is +*one-time*, not a precedent: the orchestrator-agent's standing tool +set must include `Agent`, and the next dispatch should restore the +canonical loop.
