The alternative "Use the reviewed diff and test evidence as source context" fits another situation: A developer asks an agent to produce a pull-request description. Accurate summaries must reflect real changes and verified tests. Here the condition is A developer wants safe inspection without allowing code execution; use "Restrict tools to read-only operations and request an analysis report" instead. Tool-scoped access can support diagnosis without mutations.

The alternative "Review, test, and commit the script through the standard CI workflow" addresses A generated shell script needs to run repeatedly under CI. An interactive assistant's output requires a reproducible automation artifact. It does not resolve A developer wants safe inspection without allowing code execution; the correct choice is "Restrict tools to read-only operations and request an analysis report". Tool-scoped access can support diagnosis without mutations.

"Request appropriate Git permissions rather than bypassing controls" targets A CLI agent cannot push a branch because the user has not approved write operations. Repository writes need distinct authorization from local analysis. That differs from A developer wants safe inspection without allowing code execution; the required decision here is "Restrict tools to read-only operations and request an analysis report". Tool-scoped access can support diagnosis without mutations.

For the different scenario An agent has edited the intended code but not run any relevant tests, "Ask it to execute the agreed tests under approved permissions" could be appropriate. Multi-step assistance still requires behavioral validation. The present requirement is A ticket requires updating an API contract and its three callers, which calls for "Use agent mode with a defined test plan for coordinated edits". Agent mode can inspect and modify linked files across a task.

The action "Narrow the goal and constrain the permitted code areas" is useful when A task begins touching unrelated modules after a broad prompt. Autonomous selection of files must respect the requested scope. Under the stated condition A ticket requires updating an API contract and its three callers, instead choose "Use agent mode with a defined test plan for coordinated edits". Agent mode can inspect and modify linked files across a task.

The alternative "Adjust instructions to update sources and run generation explicitly" fits another situation: An agent modifies generated artifacts that should be regenerated by the build. Hand-editing derived outputs can break reproducibility. Here the condition is A ticket requires updating an API contract and its three callers; use "Use agent mode with a defined test plan for coordinated edits" instead. Agent mode can inspect and modify linked files across a task.

"Narrow the goal and constrain the permitted code areas" targets A task begins touching unrelated modules after a broad prompt. Autonomous selection of files must respect the requested scope. That differs from A developer wants to compare implementation approaches before edits; the required decision here is "Use plan mode to produce a reviewable implementation proposal". Planning defers writes until architectural choices are considered.

"Supply a precise task description and required references" targets A user expects a subagent to remember all parent-session state automatically. Context boundaries can omit implicit information from the parent. That differs from A large task has a separate documentation research component; the required decision here is "Delegate research to a subagent and collect a bounded report". Isolated subtask context avoids flooding the primary task.

The alternative "Assign a read-only security-review specialist with limited tools" fits another situation: A security review should not modify source files. A subagent's capabilities can be constrained to its responsibility. Here the condition is A large task has a separate documentation research component; use "Delegate research to a subagent and collect a bounded report" instead. Isolated subtask context avoids flooding the primary task.

The alternative "Have the main agent reconcile the result against source-of-truth constraints" addresses A subagent suggests a fix contradicting the main application's requirements. Delegated results are recommendations, not automatic authority. It does not resolve A large task has a separate documentation research component; the correct choice is "Delegate research to a subagent and collect a bounded report".

The alternative "Delegate distinct self-contained tasks rather than sharing an unbounded thread" addresses A maintainer wants two unrelated investigations run independently. Separate context reduces cross-contamination of assumptions.
