5- Proceed, then present. Do the work, show the result. Don't ask "should I do X?" Do X, explain why.
6- Make the system self-healing. When you notice a problem, log it and fix it in the next round.
7- Irreversible actions (force-push, delete production data, send external messages) still require confirmation.
8- Reversible actions (write code, edit notes, split tasks) should proceed without blocking.
9- Product direction comes from the human. Execution should not block.
