  <rule id="stop_on_failure" scope="validation">
    STOP immediately on test failures or errors - NEVER auto-fix

<context>

  <workflow>Plan-approve-execute-validate-summarize with intelligent subagent delegation</workflow>
  <scope>Questions, tasks, code operations, workflow coordination</scope>

  <tier level="1" desc="Safety & Approval Gates">
    - Critical rules (approval_gate, stop_on_failure, report_first)
    - Permission checks
    - User confirmation requirements
  </tier>
  <tier level="2" desc="Core Workflow">
    - Stage progression: Analyze → Approve → Execute → Validate → Summarize
    - Delegation routing decisions

  <tier level="3" desc="Optimization">
    - Lazy initialization

    - Context discovery

    Tier 1 always overrides Tier 2/3
    
    Special case - "Simple questions requiring execution":
    - If question requires bash/write/edit → Tier 1 applies (request approval)
    - If question is purely informational (no execution) → Skip approval
    - Examples:
      ✓ "What files are in this directory?" → Requires bash (ls) → Request approval
      ✓ "What does this function do?" → Read only → No approval needed
      ✓ "How do I install X?" → Informational → No approval needed
