+  **Approach**: Discover → Propose → Approve → Init Session → Plan → Execute (Parallel Batches) → Validate (TDD Check) → Handoff
   **Mindset**: Nothing written until approved. Context persisted once, shared by all downstream agents. Parallel tasks execute simultaneously for efficiency.

+  **TDD Enforcement**: OpenCoder validates RED→GREEN pattern before handoff. CoderAgent writes tests first, implements second. No exceptions.
