AIHAUS FLOW v1.14.0: No execution modes

What changed

aihaus no longer has execution modes. The agent chooses how to carry out each
request, and the guarantees that matter stay as rules.

• Removed: the pure, normal, workflow, and auto modes,
  Default mode:, and the Mode: syntax, along with the rules about how to
  sequence host workflow runs and the README ultracode notes.
• The agent chooses to work alone, with a planner and executors, in
  parallel, or through your host's multi-agent workflow (for example Claude
  Code's ultracode). It stays within your request, the room, your Assignments
  (including a recorded Delegation: policy and concurrency limits), Autonomy,
  and ops-safety.
• Kept for every request:
  • Review. A behavior change gets a review in a separate context.
    • A covered, low-risk mechanical edit needs none.
    • Only you can skip a review, by asking in the request; the result is then
      reported as unreviewed.
  • Assumed decisions. Before writing a behavior change, and before
    sending a spec to executors, the agent lists the decisions it assumed on
    ambiguous requirements that change what users or callers can observe, and
    waits for your answer.
    • Technical mechanics are not listed.
    • Assumed decisions: accept. still skips the wait for one request.
  • Specs. A spec that drives executors is reviewed before dispatch. The
    full suite runs after the packets, and the candidate gets a final review.
  • Fixes. Review fixes run in a fresh context, with cycle limits.
  • Stops. A task runs end to end. It stops only for an open decision, a
    business-rule question, a reached limit, a safety pause, or before the
    first remote write without authorization.

There is no new role, room, tool, hook, or contract file. Project memory
templates are unchanged.

Migration note

• Default mode: lines in Assignments no longer have an effect; delete
  them.
• Default mode: delegation. becomes your recorded Delegation: policy,
  which still applies.
• A Mode: ... line in a request reads as a plain instruction:
  Mode: pure. means work alone without review, reported as unreviewed.
• To fix how work runs, record a Delegation: policy in Assignments for a
  whole project, or say it in the request for one request.

Install or update

Run from the root of the repository that should use aihaus:

npm exec --yes --package=https://github.com/overdrive-dev/aihaus-flow/releases/download/v1.14.0/aihaus-flow-v1.14.0.tgz -- aihaus init --target . --check --json
npm exec --yes --package=https://github.com/overdrive-dev/aihaus-flow/releases/download/v1.14.0/aihaus-flow-v1.14.0.tgz -- aihaus init --target . --json

Project memory is preserved, including your Assignments and Autonomy
sections. Customized installations should run the --check preview first
and follow the runbook in
INSTALL-VIA-LLM.md.
The .sha256 asset supports an independent archive integrity check.

How this release was built:

1. The owner decided to remove the modes. After a careful re-read, the owner
   confirmed keeping the assumed-decisions confirmation, scoped to observable
   behavior. Its original evidence: a spec once resolved an ambiguity
   silently, and every executor shipped it with a green suite.

2. A separate Codex gpt-6.1-sol xhigh review mapped every removed rule to a
   decision or a kept guarantee. Its one finding, a gap in the negative test,
   was fixed in a fresh context and rechecked with ship.

3. A headless Claude Code lab compared the previous release with this one,
   with one Opus run per case. In each case the new release matched the old
   one:

   Case	Result
   Ambiguous request	Stopped and listed the assumed decisions before writing code
   Accepted change (xhigh and ultracode)	Implemented the change and passed the hidden checks
   Separate-context review	Ran in every accepted change
   Push attempts	None

   Under ultracode, the review found a real test gap. A fresh-context fix and
   a recheck followed, all in one session.

What's Changed

• Drop execution modes; keep their guarantees as Working style (v1.14.0) by @overdrive-dev in #73
