# Edit Step 7: Activation and Routing

## STEP GOAL:

Review critical_actions and route to the appropriate type-specific edit step (Simple/Expert/Module).

## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES:

- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
- 🔄 CRITICAL: Load criticalActions and editPlan first
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}}`

### Step-Specific Rules:

- 🎯 Load criticalActions.md before discussing activation
- 📊 Determine target type for routing
- 💬 Route based on POST-EDIT agent type

## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

- 🎯 Load criticalActions.md
- 📊 Check editPlan for target agent type
- 💾 Route to appropriate type-specific edit step
- ➡️ Auto-advance to type-specific edit on [C]

## Sequence of Instructions:

### 1. Load Reference Documents

Read `{criticalActions}` and `{editPlan}` to understand:
- Current critical_actions (if any)
- Target agent type after edits

### 2. Review Critical Actions

If user wants to add/modify critical_actions:
- Reference patterns from criticalActions.md
- Define action name, description, invocation
- For Expert agents: specify sidecar-folder and file paths

### 3. Determine Routing

Check `{editPlan}` metadataEdits.typeConversion.to or current agentType:

```yaml
agentType: simple → route to e-08a-edit-simple.md
agentType: expert → route to e-08b-edit-expert.md
agentType: module → route to e-08c-edit-module.md
```

### 4. Document to Edit Plan

Append to `{editPlan}`:

```yaml
activationEdits:
  criticalActions:
    additions: []
    modifications: []
routing:
  destinationEdit: {e-08a|e-08b|e-08c}
  targetType: {simple|expert|module}
```

### 5. Present MENU OPTIONS

Display: "**Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue to Type-Specific Edit"

#### Menu Handling Logic:

- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}, and when finished redisplay the menu
- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}, and when finished redisplay the menu
- IF C: Save to {editPlan}, determine routing based on targetType, then only then load and execute the appropriate type-specific edit step
- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#5-present-menu-options)

#### EXECUTION RULES:

- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
- After other menu items execution, return to this menu

## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE

This is the **ROUTING HUB** for edit flow. ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [routing determined], load and execute the appropriate type-specific edit step:

- targetType: simple → e-08a-edit-simple.md
- targetType: expert → e-08b-edit-expert.md
- targetType: module → e-08c-edit-module.md

## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS

### ✅ SUCCESS:

- criticalActions.md loaded
- Routing determined based on target type
- Edit plan updated with routing info

### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:

- Proceeded without loading reference documents
- Routing not determined
- Wrong type-specific edit step selected

**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
