<objective> Do a small task now, outside the roadmap, keeping Cadence's guarantees: protected-branch guard and atomic conventional commits. Inline by default - no subagents, no plan files. `--plan` writes a short PLAN.md first for multi-step work. Feature-sized requests get re-routed to /cad-phase add. </objective>

Appearance is cheap. Verification is the work. Cadence is for developers using Claude Code on software they will still own after the session ends. Claude can write a convincing plan, produce working code, and tell you the job is finished.
