Execute Session Plan

The user has approved the session plan. Begin execution immediately.

Invocation

Invoked as `/go [optional instructions]` with arguments: **$ARGUMENTS**. The user has approved the session plan; begin execution immediately.

`$ARGUMENTS` is optional priority guidance, forwarded verbatim to `skills/wave-executor/SKILL.md` for agent prompts (see "Standard Execution" below). It never re-opens the plan: do NOT re-plan, do NOT re-analyze — execute the agreed plan NOW with maximum efficiency.

Express Path Detection

Before invoking the wave-executor, check the conversation context for the Express Path activation banner — printed by `node scripts/express-path.mjs` in session-start Phase 8.5, and carried through session-plan's Short-Circuit (#1146):

Express path activated — <N> tasks, coordinator-direct, no inter-wave checks.

If the banner is present (and the session-plan output emitted a 1-wave Express Path plan per `skills/session-plan/SKILL.md` § "Express Path Short-Circuit"):

**The express 1-wave plan IS the housekeeping shape.** `node scripts/session-shape.mjs --repo-root "$PWD" --session-type housekeeping --no-event` resolves to a single wave with `coordinatorDirect: true` — the express path is not a bespoke shortcut but that shape executed. Consequently, when the session type is `housekeeping`, the coordinator-direct execution runs the **maintenance loop first** (drift-check, expired sweep, `/evolve analyze`, `/reconcile`, `/evolve dialectic`, `/memory-cleanup` — ordered scope, gates and proving artefacts in `skills/wave-executor/SKILL.md` § Housekeeping Sessions — the Maintenance Loop), and **then** the selected issues in dependency order.

1. **Execute the agreed tasks directly** as coordinator actions, in dependency order. Do NOT dispatch subagents. Do NOT invoke the wave-executor skill. 2. **Append the Express Path deviation to STATE.md** before invoking session-end. Use `appendDeviationOnDisk()` from `scripts/lib/state-md.mjs` — the on-disk wrapper takes the STATE.md lock automatically, serialising any concurrent writers. This step ensures the audit trail exists BEFORE session-end finalizes the file. Equivalent one-liner via Bash:

   node --input-type=module -e "
   import {execSync} from 'node:child_process';
   import {appendDeviationOnDisk} from './scripts/lib/state-md.mjs';
   const repoRoot = execSync('git rev-parse --show-toplevel', {encoding: 'utf8'}).trim();
   await appendDeviationOnDisk(repoRoot, new Date().toISOString(), 'Express path: <N> tasks executed coord-direct (express-path.enabled: true, session-type: housekeeping, scope: <N> issues)');
   "

3. **Invoke `session-orchestrator:session-end`** directly via the `Skill` tool. Session-end finalizes STATE.md (sets `status: completed`, writes `.orchestrator/metrics/sessions.jsonl`, runs vault-mirror if enabled). Without this auto-invocation, every Express Path run leaves no audit trail (issue #320). 4. **Verify persistence after session-end completes:** read `<state-dir>/STATE.md` and confirm `frontmatter.status === 'completed'` and the body's `## Deviations` section contains an `Express path:` entry. If either is missing, warn the user inline with: `⚠ Express Path persistence verification failed — STATE.md not finalized. Re-run /close manually.` Then return the final summary. 5. **Return** the session summary to the user. The express-path execution is complete.

If the banner is **absent**: proceed to "Standard Execution" below.

Standard Execution

**Invoke the wave-executor skill.** Follow the agreed plan wave by wave. Forward `$ARGUMENTS` (if any) to the wave-executor as priority guidance for agent prompts (see wave-executor Pre-Execution: User Instructions).

Do NOT re-plan. Do NOT re-analyze. Execute the agreed plan NOW with maximum efficiency.
