description: Implement one pass of work toward the task PR.

Work the task PR.
## Orientation
Read the task seed in `<lf:message>`, then `scratch/<branch>.md` and
`scratch/questions.md` if present. If the seed names a filed task, read that
record. Inspect related or in-flight work when it can reveal conflicts,
dependencies, or reusable context; do not turn task execution into backlog
selection. Follow the repo style guide.
## Work
- Honor every Steer included in the seed and summarize how it changes the
execution plan. The boundary Basis is fixed; provider acceptance alone is
not application.
- Own execution in this process and worktree. Operational Loopflow children such
as `lf commit`, `lf pr land`, `lf rebase`, and direct skill or flow calls are
part of that execution and remain available. Do not boot a server, create a
second Task, or delegate the task seed. If scoped PM reads fail,
note the failure and continue from the seed rather than repairing auth.
- Delegate only bounded, independent checks through the execution tools already
available to this process, and keep responsibility for integrating the result.
- Implement the smallest coherent slice described by the design doc.
- Add or update tests for user-visible behavior.
- Run the narrowest verification that covers the touched code.
- When progress requires supervisor judgment, run `lf ask "<exact question>"`.
The command blocks without spending model tokens and returns the parent's
resolution to this Turn. Do not invent a provider-specific decision command or
start unrelated work while it is pending.
- Use `lf pr publish` when the branch has a reviewable PR-shaped change; it
pushes and creates or refreshes the PR without opening a browser. Reach for
`lf pr open` only when a human explicitly asked to see the PR for review.
- Do not land or complete the Task from this loop. The pinned final flow owns
its gate, learning record, and landing disposition.
- If a prior PR merged out of band and follow-up work remains, `lf pr next
[slug]` reconciles the merge and rotates to the next serial PR, carrying
committed and uncommitted follow-up forward — no manual git surgery.
- File a concrete follow-up with `lf pm task create` when new work belongs later
under a known project. Filing does not authorize launching it in this task.
- Report consequential progress through the Task; its linked events
keep the owning Wave informed without copying raw tool chatter.
Stay scoped to the task. Put unresolved ambiguity in `scratch/questions.md`.
