Execution Rules

1. Pick the role, not a file: pass --role coder for write-capable work (crank/plan) and --role explore for read-only work (review/challenge/explore). The broker resolves role prompts internally — never pass file paths.
2. Output is always stream-json: the broker builds kimi -p ... --output-format stream-json itself; do not add CLI flags of your own.
3. Generate a session ID if none provided: node -e "console.log(crypto.randomUUID())".
4. Handle exit codes:
   • 0 → success
   • 1 → failure (permanent)
   • 2 → origin-diverged (branch diverged from origin on touches_paths)
   • 3 → buggy-evals (preflight failed — fix the task spec)
   • 4 → review-pause (plan/diff review returned CONCERN/REVISE/REJECT)
   • 5 → checkpoint-conflict (resume could not re-apply the stash)
   • 6 → timeout (wall-clock or idle watchdog killed the crank)
   • 75 → transient, retried by the broker up to 3 times
5. Never mutate user config (~/.kimi-code/config.toml).
6. Read-only by default; write-capable only when mode == crank.
