Alpha

Dispatch protocol

1. Infer the mode from the request.
2. Read references/CORE.md and references/POLICY.md for every invocation. Read references/OPTIONAL.md before public-web work.
3. When the target is a repository, read references/CORE.md once before specialist work; it is already billed eagerly.

Top-level modes

Mode	Infer when	Candidate internal specialists
Discovery	The idea is fluid.	references/legacy/office.md
Full chain	Everything at once.	references/legacy/auto.md
