Problem

In the full Codex behavior suite on `main` (`2807a67`), the `feature` case (Standard lane) wrote and verified `labels.py` in its first turn, before the human replied approving the plan. `state.md` recorded the plan approval as "arrived after completion". On Claude Code the case still stops for approval, and the Claude guard hook blocks it.

Change

The router's hard stop ("no code until `state.md` records a `plan` approval") named only Controlled work, which may have read as optional for Standard. It now covers Standard and Controlled work, and says that a request that already authorizes implementation, a small or fully specified task, or a general instruction to avoid extra files does not waive it. Changelog entry under 0.5.0.

Verification

• `check_version.py`, `test_behavior_check.py`, `test_edit_guard.py` pass.
• Pending before release: Codex `feature` x3 and `payment-build` x1 re-run once the account usage limit resets (3:19 PM). Results will be posted here.

Re-run results on this branch (830e809)

Claude Code (claude-sonnet-5): feature stops for plan approval and writes no code first; typo stays Fast; payment-build passes in full (separate test author, two reviewers per checkpoint, all four approvals with clock times, verified); payment drafts intent, spec, plan, and state with no code change in 3 of 3 runs (it stopped after the specification in the one run before the shape hand-off fix).

Codex (gpt-6-astra, isolated profile):

• feature: 3 of 3 stop for plan approval and write no code before the approval reply (the failure that prompted this PR); each ends verified after the reply.
• payment: passes (intent, spec, plan, state; no code change).
• payment-build: both checkpoints were built and all four approvals recorded with clock times, then the account usage limit ended the final review. Not completed; it passed in full on 2026-09-29 at the previous heads. A single re-run is queued for after the limit resets (8:25 PM).
