spec: tighten /boss move-list to the three mode-specific sections

Recon surfaced that several draft 'moved OUT' sections were universal,
not mode-specific (agent role boundaries, authority over skills, design
rationale, feature-acceptance criterion, when-not-to-delegate). These
apply in any session — interactive or /boss-active — because agents can
be dispatched, design choices can be made, and skills can be edited
outside /boss too.

Tighten the move-list to the three genuinely mode-specific subsections:
Direction freedom, Notifications, Done-state notifications: WhatsNew.md.
Everything else stays in CLAUDE.md. /boss becomes leaner, the universal/
mode-specific boundary is drawn at content that only applies inside the
autonomous loop. Re-dispatched grounding-check: PASS.

 ### What moves vs. what stays
 
+The split is calibrated to one question: *does this content apply
+only when the orchestrator is autonomously executing the queue, or
+does it apply in every session regardless of mode?*
+
+Universal content (applies in any session — interactive or
+`/boss`-active) stays in `CLAUDE.md`. Examples: agent role
+boundaries (an agent dispatched in any session needs to know what
+the orchestrator does vs. what the agent does), design discipline
+(applies whenever a design choice is made, including a `brainstorm`
+invoked outside `/boss`), authority over skills (the orchestrator
+can edit skills at any time), the universal commit rules.
+
+Mode-specific content (applies only inside an active `/boss`
+loop) moves into the skill. This is a narrower set than the
+first draft of this spec implied; recon surfaced that several
+draft "moved OUT" sections are universal, not mode-specific.

 **Moved OUT of `CLAUDE.md` and INTO `skills/boss/SKILL.md`:**
 
-- "My role: orchestrator" (delegation defaults, when-not-to-delegate)
-- "Authority over `skills/` and the agent roster"
-- "Design rationale ≠ implementation effort"
-- "Feature acceptance: LLM utility" (kept as pointer in DESIGN.md
-  via the existing cross-reference)
-- "Direction freedom" (autonomous picking)
-- "Notifications" (done-state vs. bounce-back)
-- "Done-state notifications: WhatsNew.md" procedure
+- "Direction freedom" — autonomously picking the next iter from
+  `docs/roadmap.md`. Outside `/boss`, the orchestrator does not
+  pick autonomously; it responds to the user's message.
+- "Notifications" — when to bounce back vs. continue silently.
+  Outside `/boss` there is no autonomous loop to break out of;
+  the orchestrator always responds to the user, so the
+  bounce-back-vs-continue judgement does not apply.
+- "Done-state notifications: WhatsNew.md procedure" — fires when
+  the autonomous queue empties. Outside `/boss` there is no
+  autonomous queue.
 
 **Stays in `CLAUDE.md` (universal facts and rules):**

-- Code layout table
-- Skill system pointer (one paragraph)
-- "Commit discipline and main-branch sanctity" — only-Boss-commits
-  and main-is-sacrosanct apply in every session regardless of
-  mode. An interactive session can still produce a commit (Boss
-  doing a small edit on the user's request).

+- Skill system pointer (one paragraph), extended with a

+- "My role: orchestrator" → most of this section stays:
+  - "What this means in practice" — agent role boundaries, what
+    Boss does vs. what agents do, when trivial inline edits are
+    fine, verify-the-work. Universal; agents reading their
+    standing reading list rely on this.
+  - "Commit discipline and main-branch sanctity" — only-Boss-commits,
+    main-is-sacrosanct. Universal; an interactive session can
+    still produce a commit.
+  - "Authority over `skills/` and the agent roster" — universal;
+    the orchestrator may edit skills at any time, not only inside
+    `/boss`.
+  - "When NOT to delegate" — universal; the rules for inline-vs-
+    delegate apply whenever an agent might be dispatched.
+  - "Design rationale ≠ implementation effort" — universal design
+    discipline; applies whenever a design choice is made,
+    including `brainstorm` outside `/boss`.
+  - "Feature acceptance: LLM utility" — paraphrase of the
+    canonical criterion at `docs/DESIGN.md` §"Feature-acceptance
+    criterion"; the paraphrase MAY be reduced to a one-line
+    pointer to DESIGN.md to keep CLAUDE.md leaner (Boss judgement
+    at implement time).
 - "Bug fixes — TDD, always" — `debug` skill is mandatory in every
-  session in which a bug surfaces, not just `/boss` sessions.
-- "Milestone cycle" — one short paragraph naming the pipeline
-  (`brainstorm → plan → implement → audit → fieldtest`); details
+  session in which a bug surfaces.
+- "Milestone cycle" — short paragraph naming the pipeline; details
   in `skills/README.md`.
 - "Roles of `docs/DESIGN.md`, `docs/journals/`, ... `docs/WhatsNew.md`"
-  — these document roles are universal project facts.
-- New short paragraph: "Autonomous mode is gated to `/boss`; see
-  `skills/boss/SKILL.md` for the discipline."
+  — universal document-role roster.
