Add `pipeline.boss.spec_auto_sign` (default off). With it on, a /boss
run may sign a spec in the user's place — but only through a gate built
to never rely on the orchestrator's own confidence: all objective gates
green (precondition, parse, grounding-check PASS with no human override)
AND a unanimous five-lens adversarial spec-skeptic panel (criterion,
grounding, scope-fork, ambiguity, plan-readiness). Any single BLOCK
falls back to the human sign-off pause.
On a clean sign the orchestrator commits the spec ((boss-signed) in the
subject), fires a mandatory informational-with-veto notify, and proceeds
to planner without stopping. A later veto is a forward correction, never
a history rewind.
- new agent: specify/agents/spec-skeptic.md (read-only, one lens per dispatch)
- specify Step 6 + Iron Law: approval may come from the auto-sign gate,
never from model self-confidence
- boss: third notify category, §"Spec auto-sign", rationalisations, red flags
- profile-schema + template: the opt-in slot
- pipeline.md, agent-template.md, README: the auto-sign path documented
