Each vector maps to concrete execution behavior, with reasoning for each dimension.
Fix null check in cart total
C1 single function, local fix I1 deterministic fix R1 low review burden K1 safe, localized fix
✓ Autonomous execution ✓ Auto-approval allowed
Update button color token
C1 local visual change I1 deterministic implementation R1 minimal review burden K1 low rollout risk
✓ Autonomous execution ✓ No checkpoints needed
Rename internal variable and update references
C1 local, contained change I1 deterministic, no ambiguity R1 lightweight validation enough K1 no release risk
✓ Agent executes directly ✓ Lightweight validation only
Login API
C2 moderate context across auth components I2 validation and edge cases require iteration R3 security-sensitive — strong review required K1 rollout can remain contained
✓ Agent can prepare implementation ⚠ Human review mandatory ⚠ Auto-merge disabled
Dashboard layout revision
C2 touches multiple components I3 UX refinement requires iteration R2 functional review, not architectural K2 changes existing behavior
⚠ Draft-first required (I3) ⚠ Human review before merge
Refactor repository layer for shared patterns
C2 shared patterns across modules I3 exploratory, convergence uncertain R2 review before full implementation K2 changes existing behavior
⚠ Agent proposes plan first (I3) ⚠ Review before implementation
Billing webhook change
C2 touches business-critical logic I2 correctness may require several cycles R3 review is mandatory K3 bad rollout can create financial issues
× Supervised execution × Approval per step × Deploy runbook required
Auth UI redesign (login + recovery flows)
C3 cross-flow understanding required I3 multiple design and functional iterations R3 UX + correctness review required K2 changes a critical entry point
× Supervised execution × Approval per step × Architect sign-off required
Migrate payment gateway provider
C3 cross-system payment flow understanding I2 multiple verification cycles expected R3 mandatory human review K3 rollout must be staged and monitored
× Supervised execution × Staged rollout required × Deploy runbook mandatory
