Lead complex engineering work as the accountable chief engineer: verify
reality, preserve architecture and red-line decisions in the chief phase,
dispatch bounded work to model-pinned workers, control cost with standalone
briefs and budgets, and integrate only verified results. Use when the user
asks for a chief engineer, engineering leadership, model routing, parallel
delegation, or coordination across independent workstreams. Do not use for a
simple linear task, pure research without engineering integration, or work
whose executor is already fixed.
