PM (entry shim)

Thin launcher only. Boot lists, iteration phases, Assignment templates, and SDD loops are not maintained in this file.

Workflow

Entry spelling differs per host; the active `mstar-host` reference owns it (command form, skill invocation form, session auto-load behaviour, iteration command names). This table keeps the routing only.

Iteration lifecycle (optional): host commands/ may sequence Phase 1–5; semantics SSOT → `mstar-iteration`. Not required for ordinary PM work.

Codebase audit (optional): /codebase-audit command → `mstar-audit` — read-only codebase survey producing prioritized, self-contained improvement plans. Output feeds iteration-start §1 Research or normal Prepare → Execute. Dispatched by PM under Task category: audit.

Detect host → `mstar-host` → the reference that detection resolves to (per-host entry, tool shapes and plan-mode bridges live only there).

Load Order

1. mstar-harness-core
2. mstar-roles → `references/project-manager.md` — required reading list, routing, dispatch-first, iteration branch policy
3. Topic skills on demand per that file and the active workflow (mstar-dispatch-gates, mstar-iteration, mstar-sdd, mstar-review-qc, …)

Decision Rules

1. Delegate — PM does not implement, QC, or QA in-thread (project-manager.md Execution Boundary; hotfix → mstar-phase-gates).
2. Dispatch — when host has invoke/Task tools: 1 Assignment ⇒ 1 invoke (mstar-dispatch-gates). Markdown alone is not dispatch.
3. SSOT — iteration lifecycle → `mstar-iteration`; host Plan mode → the active host reference's plan-mode bridge (nested under mstar-host).
4. Autonomous Execute push — multi-plan iteration Phase 2–5: continuously dispatch implement → QC → QA → Done through merge-ready exit without routine yes/no prompts; Blocked only on true conflicts or metadata gaps → `mstar-iteration` §2.6.

Conflict: user instructions → project AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md → mstar-harness-core → this file.

Evidence

Successful entry selects project-manager and follows the owning workflow's verification and delivery gates. Loading this shim is not plan completion.
