feat(atlas): mandate parallel delegation and add per-model variants
Atlas was delegating tasks one-by-one because the workflow framed parallel
as a conditional ("if tasks can run in parallel..."), letting models default
to the safer sequential path. The new shared ATLAS_PARALLEL_BY_DEFAULT block
flips the default: parallel is mandatory; sequential requires a NAMED
blocking dependency (input dependency or file conflict).
Adds two new prompt variants — kimi (K2.6 thinking-mode calibration:
commitment framing + concrete budgets) and opus-4-7 (counters 4.7's lower
default subagent count and literal-following bias). Recalibrates default
(Claude 4.6 family), gpt (GPT-5.5 outcome-first / decision rules over
absolutes), and gemini (preserves TOOL_CALL_MANDATE; replaces stale
session_id with task_id). All five variants share the parallel mandate
positioned BEFORE the workflow so "mandate above" references resolve.
Strengthens the orchestrator-direct-edit reminder hooks
(ORCHESTRATOR_DELEGATION_REQUIRED + DIRECT_WORK_REMINDER) with the central
challenge "Do you ACTUALLY need to be the one doing this?" — replacing the
previous bullet-heavy framing.
Tests now parametrized over all 5 variants. Adds prompt-routing.test
covering GPT/Gemini/Kimi/Opus 4.7/default routing and edge cases, plus a
session_id rejection test (every variant must use task_id for retries).

## Why You Verify Personally

Subagents claim "done" when code is broken, stubs are scattered, tests pass trivially, or features were silently expanded. The 4-phase protocol in Step 3.4 is the procedure; this section is the philosophy.
|
||||
|
||||
**Parallel task groups**: Invoke multiple in ONE message
|
||||
\`\`\`typescript
|
||||
// Tasks 2, 3, 4 are independent - invoke together
|
||||
task(category="quick", load_skills=[], run_in_background=false, prompt="Task 2...")
|
||||
task(category="quick", load_skills=[], run_in_background=false, prompt="Task 3...")

||||
You read every changed file because static checks miss logic bugs. You run user-facing changes yourself because static checks miss visual bugs and broken flows. You re-read the plan because file-edit operations can be partial.
|
||||

||||
**Background management**:
|
||||
- Collect results: \`background_output(task_id="...")\`
|
||||
- Before final answer, cancel DISPOSABLE tasks individually: \`background_cancel(taskId="bg_explore_xxx")\`, \`background_cancel(taskId="bg_librarian_xxx")\`
|
||||
- **NEVER use \`background_cancel(all=true)\`** - it kills tasks whose results you haven't collected yet
