 **Core principle:** Fresh subagent per task + two-stage review (spec then quality) = high quality, fast iteration
 
+**Proportionality:** Review fanout scales with the change. When the entire plan is one trivial, fully-specified mechanical change — a one-line edit, a log statement, a constant bump — implement it directly (or with a single implementer subagent), verify it, and commit. Skip the review subagents and the final reviewer: a diff with no room for interpretation has nothing for a spec or quality review to catch, and three dispatches for one line cost more than the change itself. When in doubt whether a change is trivial, it is not — run the full pipeline. Within a multi-task plan, run the full pipeline for every task regardless of size; this exception applies only when the whole plan is one trivial change.
+
 **Continuous execution:** Do not pause to check in with your human partner between tasks. Execute all tasks from the plan without stopping. The only reasons to stop are: BLOCKED status you cannot resolve, ambiguity that genuinely prevents progress, or all tasks complete. "Should I continue?" prompts and progress summaries waste their time — they asked you to execute the plan, so execute it.

 **Never:**
 - Start implementation on main/master branch without explicit user consent
-- Skip reviews (spec compliance OR code quality)
+- Skip reviews (spec compliance OR code quality) on a non-trivial task — the Proportionality exception covers only a plan that is one trivial mechanical change
 - Proceed with unfixed issues
 - Dispatch multiple implementation subagents in parallel (conflicts)
 - Make subagent read plan file (provide full text instead)
