## Plan Executor With Checkpoints Execute this plan one task at a time and stop at the first failure. - The plan: [textarea: Paste the task list] - Verification command: [text: The command that runs the tests or checks] - Starting state: [text: Branch name and whether the suite is green now] - On failure: [dropdown: Stop and report, Try one fix then stop, Skip and continue] - Report after each task: [toggle: Yes, No] Before starting, run the verification command once and record the baseline, so later failures are not blamed on the plan. Then for each task in order: restate the goal in one line, make only the change the task describes, run the verification command, and read its actual output. Mark the task done only when the output shows what the task promised. If a check fails, follow the failure setting, and never edit a test to make it pass unless the task says so. If a task turns out to be wrong or too big, stop and say what you found rather than improvising a larger change. When all tasks are done, run the full check one last time and summarise tasks completed, tasks skipped and anything surprising.
