Responds to maintainer review of this branch: the dispatch-hint lines
were hardcoded Codex strings inside shared skill tooling that every
harness runs.
The per-role hint lines now live in a platform-owned data file,
skills/using-superpowers/references/codex-dispatch.hints, and the
task-brief/review-package scripts only relay the current role's line.
The relay is suppressed when CLAUDECODE is set (Claude Code's dispatch
templates already carry model selection) and on any harness with no
hints file; unknown harnesses fail toward printing, because a silent
no-op in the environment that needs the hint is the failure mode this
mechanism exists to prevent. Printing at the moment of dispatch is
load-bearing: skill text loaded at session start does not survive
context compaction, but script output reprints every round.
codex-tools.md's SDD dispatch section shrinks to the behavioral rules
(fork_turns: "none" always; copy the printed hint verbatim; reviewer
tier never exceeds implementer tier; no effort bumps; the <=0.144
inheritance fallback) and points at the hints file for values.
Tests cover the relay path, the per-role efforts, and the new
CLAUDECODE suppression case.

Run-2 dispatch-4 autopsy: after compaction, the codex-tools role table
fell out of context and the controller reasoned itself into an inherited
sol@max reviewer — the harness's own 'inherited parent model is preferred'
plus SKILL.md's 'most capable model' outvoted the compaction summary's
distilled 'terra/high' line. Its introspection named the only artifact it
actually consults at the moment of dispatch: the review-package output.
So the role tuple now rides the script output, reprinted fresh every
round, immune to compaction by construction:
- task-brief prints role=implementer terra/high fork_turns=none
- review-package prints per role via a new leading --role flag
(task-review default | re-review | final-review), and SKILL.md call
sites pass the flag at the re-review and final-review sites
- SKILL.md Model Selection now defers to platform role tables and the
printed dispatch hints, closing the 'most capable model' loophole
- codex-tools.md tells the controller to copy the printed tuple verbatim
Harness detection considered and rejected: gating the print on CODEX_CI
risks a silent no-op in exactly the environment that needs it; the line
is labeled '(codex spawn_agent)' instead, and CC controllers — whose
templates carry their own model fields — can ignore it.
Experiment branch for PRI-2672 validation; not for merge without eval
evidence.

sdd-workspace now requires the plan file and resolves
.superpowers/sdd/<plan-basename>/; task-brief and review-package write
into their plan's directory (review-package gains PLAN_FILE as its first
argument). Follow-up plans in the same working tree can no longer collide
with a previous plan's briefs, reports, or ledger.
