# BRIEFING — 2026-10-01T02:16:00Z

## Mission
Remediate the hygiene linter finding so that `python tools/lint/check_code_and_doc_hygiene.py --strict` exits cleanly with code 0, rigorously verify all acceptance criteria from ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md (## 2026-10-01T00:46:52Z), execute verification gate, and report completion.

## 🔒 My Identity
- Archetype: orchestrator
- Roles: orchestrator, user_liaison, human_reporter, successor
- Working directory: c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\orchestrator_7
- Original parent: top-level
- Original parent conversation ID: b411c2fe-6b2c-4b73-8946-0867b9158775

## 🔒 My Workflow
- **Pattern**: Project
- **Scope document**: c:\Projects\FreeExile\PROJECT.md
1. **Decompose**:
   - Milestone 1: Remediate hygiene linter issue and verify all acceptance criteria for 2026-10-01T00:46:52Z.
2. **Dispatch & Execute**:
   - **Direct (iteration loop)**: Explorer -> Worker -> Reviewers (2) -> Challengers (2) -> Auditor -> Gate check.
3. **On failure** (in this order):
   - Retry -> Replace -> Skip -> Redistribute -> Redesign -> Escalate
4. **Succession**: at 16 spawns, write handoff.md, spawn successor
- **Work items**:
  1. Hygiene linter remediation and full verification gate [in-progress]
- **Current phase**: 2
- **Current focus**: Hygiene remediation and verification gate

## 🔒 Key Constraints
- NEVER write, modify, or create source code files directly.
- NEVER run build/test commands yourself — require workers to do so.
- NEVER investigate or explore the problem at the code level — dispatch Explorers for technical investigation.
- You MAY use file-editing tools ONLY for metadata/state files (.md) in your .agents/teamwork/ folder.
- If Forensic Auditor reports INTEGRITY VIOLATION, milestone FAILS UNCONDITIONALLY.
- Never reuse a subagent after it has delivered its handoff — always spawn fresh.

## Current Parent
- Conversation ID: b411c2fe-6b2c-4b73-8946-0867b9158775
- Updated: 2026-10-01T02:16:00Z

## Key Decisions Made
- Inherited deliverables from orchestrator_6 (RESEARCH_SYNTHESIS_M1.md, CEO_ALIGNMENT_AND_SPEC_M2.md, ROADMAP_2026_2027.md, NEXT_VERSION_DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md).
- Dispatch Explorer to inspect check_code_and_doc_hygiene.py and .agents/ exclusions, then dispatch Worker to apply fix and run the linter.
- Conduct full verification gate: 2 Reviewers, 2 Challengers, 1 Forensic Auditor.
