• IMPLEMENT enforces file-count limit
• IMPLEMENT fails when no test ran
• IMPLEMENT fails when test exits nonzero
• PUBLISH stages only named files
• PUBLISH blocks main/master
• PUBLISH scans file contents for secrets
• PUBLISH blocks runtime state files
• PUBLISH requires real local commit SHA
• PUBLISH verifies remote SHA
• PUBLISH uses owning repository
• Failed PR creation returns failure
