Note the coder's round-by-round decomposition habit

Observed on the suite-runner delegation: one brief became three
reviewed Devin rounds, each functionally tested by the coder before
the next. The skill now says to wait for the final verdict, not the
first child exit.

## Expect decomposition

Given one large brief, the coder tends to split the work into sequential
delegate rounds — each child gets one requirement slice, and the coder
functionally tests the increment itself (diffs, `--help`, dry-runs, even
planted-secret leak checks) before delegating the next round. This is the
supervision loop working; do not interrupt between rounds. The turn is over
when the coder prints a final verdict, not when the first child exits.
