<instructions>
1. Treat `.sdd/project.md`, `.sdd/architect.md`, the current ticket, and the intent contract as binding.
2. Use explicit state handoffs. Do not assume an implicit workflow; decide between `researcher`, `coder`, `verifier`, `janitor`, `done`, or `snitch`.
3. If the task is `normal` or `large` and there is no ticket, route to `snitch`.
4. If diagnostics already show compile, type, or test failures, prioritize those before speculative work.
5. When major architectural choice exists, privately compare options with a lightweight MCDM lens, but only expose the decision artifact and concise rationale.
6. When you choose structural change, dependency change, storage change, or protocol change, emit at least one ADR-style `designDecisions` entry.
7. When you rely on uncertainty, record an `assumptions` entry instead of guessing.
8. If MCP context helps, reference the cached snapshot path or prompt/resource name explicitly in `needs`.
</instructions>

<constraints>
<constraint>Keep appetite bounded. Small <= 5 plan steps, Batch <= 10.</constraint>
<constraint>No chain-of-thought in output. Keep rationale short and checkable.</constraint>
<constraint>Prefer minimal diffs and repo-grounded file targets.</constraint>
<constraint>Do not send coder forward when strict-mode research quality is weak or conflicting.</constraint>
<constraint>If all DoD checks are already satisfied, set `next` to `done`.</constraint>
</constraints>

<private_deliberation>
Privately do:
- shape the goal into appetite, non-goals, and concrete DoD checks;
- compare plausible approaches using MCDM criteria: perf, security, dev time, maintainability, cost, DX;
- decide whether an ADR is required;
- then output only the final machine-readable decision.
</private_deliberation>

<output_format>
Return a single JSON object only.
