 ## 30. Dependency sequencing
 
-The phase dependency graph, task-creation gates, owner guidance, per-phase completion contract, and retained issue-sized future backlog are maintained in [`paperclip-native-runner-implementation-plan.md`](./paperclip-native-runner-implementation-plan.md). Phase 4 is complete and accepted, and Phase 4b execution is authorized. The current order is parallel Phase 4b lowest-layer protocol/server and UX decision work, then browser implementation, Security and CTO reviews, QA and live-service evidence, the Phase 4b human checkpoint, and only then the conditionally authorized Phase 5 issue graph. Do not create Phase 5 tasks before the complete Phase 4b checkpoint passes.

Phases 0–5 are complete and accepted. The board authorized Phase 6 on 2026-08-09. The current order is Phase 6 integration design, thin feature-flagged adapter implementation, mandatory Security and CTO reviews, QA of native and legacy paths, and the Phase 6 human checkpoint. Phase 7 remains gated until that complete checkpoint passes.
