express scope

express answers the community request for a lightweight run. It follows a straight line from requirements to code, test, and deploy without a design pass or reviewer dispatch.

Change Control defaults to relaxed: an input that changes after approval is recorded and announced in one line rather than reopening the approval.

Why these stages, why skip those

Requirements Analysis establishes the contract, Code Generation implements it, Build and Test verifies it, and the Operation tail can deploy and observe the result. Reviewers are disabled by review_cap: none. Minimal testing still requires requirement-driven unit tests with a happy-path floor per component.

The swarm path is structurally unreachable because express skips Units Generation, so no Unit DAG can exist. Reverse Engineering remains CONDITIONAL to provide brownfield understanding when existing code is present. The deploy tail is also CONDITIONAL and self-skips when there is nothing to deploy. Its stages use the approved requirements, workspace deployment configuration, build results, and prior tail artifacts when full design producers are intentionally absent.

Membership

The grid contains the three Initialization stages, Reverse Engineering, Requirements Analysis, Code Generation, Build and Test, Deployment Pipeline, Deployment Execution, and Observability Setup. Every other stage is SKIP.
