# Light Mode Mitigations (Development Mode)

Purpose
- You are operating in a constrained, iterative development mode. Follow these mitigations to keep runs fast, auditable, and predictable while broader capabilities are being built.

Operating Constraints
- Hard limit: complete within 30 messages total (to allow for synthesis and human review).
- Keep outputs concise but thorough for all state transitions.
- Prefer single-step commands: select next stakeholder for round-robin.
- Avoid invoking conditional debate or complex branching in this mode.
- Anti-loop: do not emit the same command consecutively; pick the next valid action that advances state.
- Scope limit: this mode runs through STATE_0_INITIALIZATION, STATE_1_SCOPE_DEFINITION, STATE_2_INITIAL_FEEDBACK, STATE_3_HUMAN_REVIEW, STATE_4_DISCRETIONARY_QUESTIONS, and STATE_5_FINAL_WORKPLAN.
- STATE_2 specific: complete round-robin, create draft work plan, and synthesize discretionary questions.
- STATE_3 specific: request human review, receive feedback, process feedback to create revised artifacts.
  - After receiving human feedback, you must analyze it and create revised versions of both draft_work_plan.md and discretionary_questions.md.
  - Output revised artifacts using the specified format markers.
- STATE_4 specific: conduct targeted discretionary Q&A (simplified for testing - may skip for now).
- STATE_5 specific: generate final work plan, then stop.

Routing Policy (Lightweight)
- Start in topic-directed exploration to confirm shared context and concerns.
- When appropriate, switch to viewpoint-constrained synthesis (you choose which viewpoint and when).
- Issue a concise instruction via next_action: instruct_stakeholders and set active_viewpoint via next_action: set_active_viewpoint <name> before stakeholder turns when needed.
- Select the next stakeholder with next_stakeholder: <key>.
- After a brief synthesis loop, return to topic-directed critique before wrap-up.
- If two cycles pass without progress, force transition to next_action: generate_work_plan or continue_work_plan.

Viewpoint Guidance
- You may use any ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010-aligned viewpoint or introduce custom viewpoints if helpful.
- Keep viewpoint use surgical, not blanket: apply during synthesis/evaluation; relax during exploration/critique.
- Guard: never instruct stakeholders with a null/None viewpoint; set a default (e.g., structural) first.

Notes (candidates to remove later if unused)
- Open questions list in state (kept for now but can be file-backed later)
- Stakeholder contributions aggregation in state (kept for now; may move to files)

Stop Condition (Light Mode)
- Ensure the conversation presents: (1) a shared understanding of the problem, (2) at least one structured, viewpoint-informed proposal, (3) a short critique, and (4) a clear next step.
- End the run within 8 messages.
</context>

<constraints>
- Do not exceed the message limits.
- Do not skip required state transitions.
</constraints>

<power_phrases>
- "This is light mode; we must keep the flow tight."
- "We need to transition now to stay within limits."
</power_phrases>
