Fieldbook review

Reviewed 27 Sept 2026

Uses one implementer at a time, task-level review and fix loops, a plan-specific ledger, then a whole-branch review. It depends on Git worktrees, shell scripts, commits, and subagent tooling; merge, push, and workspace deletion are deferred to a guarded finishing workflow.
