Declared autonomy

level: L3
sublevel: L3.1
grade_target: b

Product boundary

You are working on: <product> (fill per run).

This run owns:

  • An end-to-end slice (logic + docs/data + UI) in a sandbox app

This run must not own:

  • Production repos
  • Architecture changes, public contract changes, or any scope above L3

Objective

Deliver a user-visible flow across >=2 layers in the sandbox app, verified by a registered E2E runner.

Repositories/files

Read:

  • <paths per run>

May edit:

  • Sandbox app files across the declared layers

Must not edit:

  • Anything outside the declared unit; CI config; release/deploy scripts

Tools allowed

  • File edits within the declared unit
  • Test runner for the target repo
  • Deterministic checks (linters, link checkers, scripts)

Tools forbidden

  • Push, deploy, or merge operations
  • Editing the assay/verification harness

Human gates

Stop before:

  • Branch/merge approval (always)
  • Targeting any repo outside the sandbox allowlist

Acceptance criteria

  • Parent-level core evidence: tests_pass, acceptance_criteria_met, risks_reviewed
  • Sub-level distinct evidence: >=2 distinct layers; both .py and non-.py changed files; E2E pass from a registered runner

Evidence to return

Return:

  • summary,
  • files changed,
  • tests/checks run,
  • the layer tags per file and the registered E2E runner id + result,
  • risks,
  • next decision.
