+## Active Plan: Marketplace Context Discipline 1.0.6
+
+Status: active
+Owner: root
+Last Updated: 2026-09-15
+
+### Goal
+
+Apply context-discipline routing to marketplace maintenance, import the released engineering-workflow 0.9.6 bundle with exact provenance, publish xeonvs-engineering 1.0.6, and refresh managed Codex and Claude installations.
+
+### Plan Origin
+
+plan_mode_approved
+
+### Requested Scope
+
+- Complete the approved two-repository plan by updating this project's own instructions and importing the new workflow templates and references.
+
+### Requirement Traceability
+
+| Requirement | Complete outcome | Source | Work queue | Acceptance or validation | Status |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| REQ-001 | Marketplace maintainer instructions apply root working-state, durable-knowledge, bounded handoff, and compact-evidence principles. | Approved plan | WQ-01 | Instruction review and diff check. | done |
+| REQ-002 | Catalog imports engineering-workflow 0.9.6 from its immutable annotated tag while retaining tgrep-search 1.0.3. | Approved plan | WQ-02 | Synchronizer, provenance and byte verification. | done |
+| REQ-003 | Marketplace 1.0.6 artifacts and managed Codex/Claude installations publish and resolve the intended versions. | Approved plan | WQ-03 | Tests, validators, secret scans, merge/tag/release and installation readback. | pending |
+
+### Explicit Non-Goals
+
+- Change tgrep-search, introduce a new orchestration dependency or API, monitor CI, or edit plugin caches manually.
+
+### Constraints
+
+- Import only stable annotated tags and preserve exact upstream bytes and provenance.
+- Keep AGENTS concise and route detailed semantics to the installed workflow owners.
+
+### Inputs And Sources
+
+- https://github.com/xeonvs/codex-engineering-workflow/releases/tag/v0.9.6
+- The current user-approved context-discipline plan and this repository's synchronizer contract.
+
+### User Decisions And Answers
+
+- 2026-09-15: Apply the principles to the projects themselves and to the templates they distribute.
+- 2026-09-15: Execute immediately under the new principles; do not monitor CI.
+
+### Completed Baseline State
+
+- [x] WQ-00 — Marketplace main is clean at 1.0.5; engineering-workflow 0.9.6 is released; tgrep-search remains 1.0.3.
+
+### Current Work Queue
+
+- [x] WQ-01 — Implement and review REQ-001 project routing. `done`
+- [x] WQ-02 — Synchronize and verify REQ-002 released bundle. `done`
+- [ ] WQ-03 — Validate, publish, install, and verify REQ-003. `in_progress`
+
+### Locked Decisions
+
+- Use the existing synchronizer and release workflow; no new orchestration layer.
+- Publish the next marketplace patch version, 1.0.6.
+
+### Verification
+
+- Catalog tests, validator, recorded-upstream verification, exact diff/provenance review, Codex/Claude plugin validation, and redacted pre-push secret scans.
+- One bounded readback of merge, annotated tag, release artifacts, and managed installed versions.
+
+### Latest Validation Results
+
+- 2026-09-15: Upstream 0.9.6 full, semantic, package, external plugin, Claude, and security checks passed before release.
+- 2026-09-15: Synchronizer imported engineering-workflow 0.9.6 from annotated v0.9.6 at `f94bdef31622daa3c4ec89aeab7fce317d41a4c9`; tgrep-search remained 1.0.3. All 16 tests, catalog validation, recorded byte verification, and Codex/Claude plugin validation passed.
+
+### Risks And Recovery
+
+- Risk: newest tag or bundle differs from the intended release. Recovery: synchronizer and provenance verification fail closed before publication.
+- Risk: local installation observes stale marketplace data. Recovery: upgrade marketplace through native CLIs and verify reported versions.
+
+### Resume Point
+
+- Continue WQ-03 with commit, pre-push security, marketplace PR/merge/release, managed installation refresh, and final readback.
+
+### Plan Fidelity Check
+
+- [x] Project instructions, imported templates, immutable provenance, marketplace release, installation refresh, and exclusions are preserved.
+- [x] Requirements map to ordered work and concrete validation.
+
+### Reconciliation Check
+
+- [ ] Changed results and plan entries agree.
+
+### Closure Gate
+
+- [ ] Requirements and queue are terminal; applicable validation and delivery evidence are recorded.
+
+### Post-Close Delivery
+
+- Marketplace PR/merge/tag/release and managed installation refresh are authorized. CI monitoring is excluded.
+
+### Handoff Notes
+
+- None.
+
+

 5. Use exact canonical paths, the state manifest, or managed-section markers as ownership evidence. Treat unknown files as protected until evidence or user direction resolves ownership.
 6. Apply every owner and guard made relevant by the task, but reuse current instructions already loaded for the same scope. A link names an owner; it does not prove that the reference is loaded in the invoking session. Overlapping routes do not require duplicate reads or checks against unchanged state at one boundary. Read only the missing, changed, or newly applicable canonical reference needed for the selected mode. Preserve the dominant documentation language and use templates as structure, not as permission to overwrite repository-owned prose.
    Before pausing for clarification or authorization, load `references/question_matrix.md`. For continuation, delegation, and handoff, use the shared sections of `references/agent_orchestration.md` selected by the platform reference.

 8. Validate within the selected safety mode under `references/validation_safety.md`. Existing implementation authorization may cover known local checks; do not ask again when it does. Unknown commands, credentials, production access, and additional side effects retain their own boundaries. The deterministic validation runner's mode restrictions still apply.
 9. Apply the public-tree scan to workflow mutations and public-content verification, and the final-tree and reachable-ref secret gate immediately before an authorized push. Installed-skill updates use their candidate safety checks. A narrow read-only explanation or local reread does not require a public-tree scan. Follow `references/privacy_and_sanitization.md` without printing or opening candidate values; any blocking finding must be resolved before publication. Review changes, reconcile affected durable state, and close or preserve the exact resume point before handoff.
