feat(tdd): the project's suite defines green, not just your test file

At the Verify GREEN moment, redefine "other tests still pass": run the
project's test command even when the task named only one test file — a
scope statement bounds the deliverable, not the verification — and any
failure seen goes in the report by name. In a pre-registered 24-rep
battery on an adjacent-breakage probe, controls ran the wider suite in
1/12 sessions; with this text, 8/12 (sonnet 4/4, kimi 3/4, glm 1/4),
and every session that saw the failure reported it.

 # Superpowers Release Notes
 
-## v6.3.0 (2026-08-12)
-
-### Harness Support
-
-- **Devin CLI**: `devin plugins install obra/superpowers` now works, and skills auto-trigger at session start. (#1995)
-- **Hermes Agent**: install from a git clone; skills register with Hermes' native loader and the bootstrap loads on the first turn. (#1922, #2025)
-- **Grok Build CLI** added to the install docs. (#1919)
-
-### Brainstorming
-
-- **Ceremony now scales to the task.** Requests are classified as spike, bounded, or architectural; small tasks skip the two-document ritual. Every path still stops for your approval before implementation. (#2063)
-
-### Subagent-Driven Development
-
-- **Controllers no longer stall on plan conflicts.** Non-catastrophic conflicts and ambiguities get a recorded ruling and work continues; only destructive or irreversible actions still stop for a human. One donated session had sat blocked for almost nine hours on a question the controller could have decided. (#2077)
-- **The pre-dispatch conflict scan records its checks in the ledger** instead of just asserting the plan is clean. (#2080)
-- **Small same-shape tasks batch into one dispatch**, cutting subagent cost sharply on micro-task plans; batch reviews verify every file in the brief made it into the diff. (#2078)
-- **Implementers and reviewers may not spawn their own subagents**, which was producing duplicate reviews. (#2059)
-- **Plans carry a `Spec:` pointer** and SDD reads the spec at setup, so plan conflicts get resolved against the design instead of guessed at. (#2086)
-- Reviewers re-read evidence they find illegible instead of re-running the test suite (#2089), and circuit-breaker rulings now show up in the Finish report.
-
-### Codex
-
-- Subagent waits are event-driven instead of poll-heavy, spawns pin model and reasoning effort explicitly, and the multi-agent reference is corrected against Codex source. (#2060, #2061, #2062)
-
-### Finishing a Development Branch
-
-- **Worktree removal no longer destroys untracked files.** When `git worktree remove` refuses because the tree holds uncommitted work, the skill stops, names the files, and asks — instead of reaching for `--force`. (#2016, #1223, #2024)
-
-### Fixes
-
-- `render-graphs.js` in writing-skills works on Windows.
-- Corrected Copilot CLI backgrounding guidance for Windows. (#1929, #2006)
-- `bump-version.sh` covers the Hermes manifest.
-
-### Documentation
-
-- README: added a table of contents and reorganized Getting Started.
