+*Not this mode:* any phrase containing "speedrun" ("speedrun", "no approvals speedrun") routes to =work-the-backlog.org='s no-approvals speedrun preset — an autonomous batch over an explicit ordered task set, with a pre-flight Q&A, autonomous commits, always-push, and an end-of-set page. This mode is the general interaction-gate suspension for whatever work is already underway; the speedrun is the dedicated backlog-batch workflow.

The engineering-discipline gates protect quality, not Craig's interaction time. They remain in force:
-- =/review-code= against the staged diff before every commit. Critical and Important findings still block. Minor findings still surface. No "proceed anyway" override unless Craig has given it explicitly for this batch.
+- =/review-code= against the staged diff before every commit, dispatched as an isolated adversarial reviewer per the =publish= skill's Step 1 — no-approvals removes *interaction* gates, never the isolation. Critical and Important findings still block, and the re-review loop still runs to approval. Minor findings still surface. No "proceed anyway" override unless Craig has given it explicitly for this batch. If the review can't reach approval — three rounds, a recurring finding, or a =Needs Discussion= verdict — that is a genuine question: park the item per step 4 and move to the next one rather than committing past a standing finding.
- =/voice personal= on every publish artifact (commit messages, PR titles + bodies, PR review comments). The full pattern walk happens. The printed result just doesn't wait for approval.
- The full test suite + lint + compile before commit (per =verification.md=).

- Session Log updates per =protocols.org=. Every state-mutating turn writes to =.ai/session-context.org= before the closing message. The log is the crash-recovery anchor while Craig is away. Missing entries lose work.
- Subagent review-gate cadence (=subagents.md=). Review each subagent's output before the next dispatch.
- Destructive or irreversible operations per =CLAUDE.md='s "Executing actions with care": force-push, =rm -rf=, dropping a column, dropping a branch, package removal. These need explicit consent regardless of mode. No-approvals is for *interaction* gates, not destructive-action consent.
