+# Fresh Go scaffolds run immediately
+
+- Resolve the pinned Yield module when `yskill init` creates a Go workflow.
+- Keep later runs read-only so dependency files cannot change after the run is
+  bound to its source digest.
+- Verify a new scaffold completes `yskill test` without a pre-existing
+  `go.sum` file.
