Rite Build

$rite-build: one verified slice

Build and prove one slice. HITL stops; a later user invocation starts the next. Explicit .devrites/AFK alone lets the controlling root chain pending slices serially under green proof, caps, and pause rules. Every wright returns after one slice. Opt-in: $rite-build --parallel N (2≤N≤10; N=1≡serial) follows reference/parallel-batch.md (one-slice-cycle.md).

Root owns gates/bookkeeping. Fresh devrites-slice-wright writes product source/tests. Workflow Artifact paths use workflow-artifacts.md. Execute reference/phase-contract.md (one-slice-cycle.md, afk-discipline.md); dispatch uses reference/wright-dispatch.md.

Required rules

Read .agents/skills/devrites-lib/reference/standards/core.md first. Load only triggered rules: coding/error/testing/tdd.md/patterns/DoD; binding .devrites/principles.md; security; topology; data integrity; integration reliability. Wright applies anti-slop; root verifies returns and never patches source.

Invariants

• Default: one slice; writers serial on control. Parallel only via --parallel N under reference/parallel-batch.md. Same-worktree multi-writer / root-emulated concurrency forbidden. Native-worktree pilot = single-slice isolation when wright-dispatch.md preflight + reconcile hold.
• Exact feature scope only; reject out-of-allowlist diffs; record adjacent issues.
• Never rerun an unchanged check; re-prove after edits.
• Unplanned dependency/design-system/gap/repair → Vet/Spec Drift Guard. Ask only for licensing/cost/security/product or explicit architecture-policy decisions.
• Root never edits product source/tests (.devrites/ + Workflow Artifact only). Wright is sole product writer; extras in returned paths/git diff --name-only hard-stop.
• Principles bind; irreversible conflict needs human exception or stop.
• Evidence beats confidence. Never weaken tests, skip TDD, widen writers, or self-approve. Drift → spec-drift-guard.md; checkpoint → checkpoint.md.
• Async readiness waits during slice work follow debug-recovery.md (bounded poll + last-signal artifact; no blind sleep as primary strategy).

Workflow Artifact branch

--parallel N (opt-in)

Omitted/1 ≡ serial; 2–10 → path-disjoint fan-out when eligible; else hard refuse. All-green serial integrate; one red/gap aborts. Abort with agent-owned plan gaps continues via Spec Drift Guard (plan repair + vet inline); do not emit a human Fix. AFK charges after integrate only. Running lease blocks another $rite-build. Details: parallel-batch.md.

Execute and reply

Run every step in reference/phase-contract.md: readiness, one target, dispatch or canonical transaction, return inspection, independent doubt/test analysis, approved fail-on-red proof, record, AFK accounting, and stop. Use reference/output.md plus the shared reply contract. HITL never starts the next slice automatically; AFK chains only within its durable remaining budget; Prove starts only after all slices are built.

Phase exit (observable)

Complete when: the dispatched wright returns green proof for the slice, git diff --name-only ⊆ allowlist, independent test analysis admits no Critical gap, and state.md cursor advances with recorded evidence paths.

Failing case: wright reports "done" but proof command was not executed or failed → slice incomplete; do not advance cursor.
