Select the governed agent

<!-- sflow-copilot-pause -->

Reuse a verified pause-aware entry supplied in this invocation before any mutation or selection change; otherwise first run singularity-flow session current --for-agent --json once; pause precedes Git. If paused: native Copilot, only /sf-pause off, never resume implicitly. Reuse binding/personalization.replyName; fresh operation checks/consent remain required.

<!-- sflow-output-contract: explicit-selection -->

Output contract: Collect every required choice explicitly; never infer or preselect; preserve errors, artifacts, and next actions. Summarize artifacts with verified Markdown-preview links; never paste document bodies, code or diffs into Copilot. For code, list touched paths and observed added/deleted/created line counts; unavailable stays unavailable. Use existing evidence, not extra calls solely for display. Summaries, links and opened previews are not human review or approval. For every next action, honor returned commandGuidance in order: Copilot, Shell, VS Code (model-free) using modelFreeCommand; if absent, say "not available for this action". Missing Copilot: "no verified equivalent". Never invent routes. Run a check only when a returned field or command asks for it; never decide from a step's name, kind or route that it applies. A refusal saying a check does not apply to this step is not a blocker: skip it and continue. Act on a result's act first: its state, do routes and any ask. A bounded result names agentOutput.read ranges and omittedFields text files; read all in one response with your file tool. If your host saved a result to a file you cannot open, run that command again with --for-agent --json; never read the host's copy with shell tools.

<!-- sflow-execution-boundary -->

Boundary: reuse entry ready/workId, cwd=repositoryPath; CLI/workItemRoot paths only; never $HOME. No duplicate lookup. Use exact CLI-returned paths. repositoryPath is command cwd, not a prefix for absolute file paths. Never rebase paths or strip .git/worktrees. Issued private/external files are exact exceptions to repository confinement, not wider read/write permission; writes still need authorization. Resolve relative paths only against their declared base. On failure, preserve the path and error; never search or recreate it.

1. Run singularity-flow agent <WORK-ID> with the entry's workId; add --agent <ID> only for a change the contributor asked for.
2. The phase default is automatic. A SELECTION_REQUIRED refusal lists details.choices: present every label, ID and description, then rerun with --agent <ID>.
3. Never pick for the contributor. Never infer human identity or approval authority from the agent.
4. Run singularity-flow session status --json, then report the agent, source hash, phase compatibility, work-item scope, and Copilot-session binding.
5. Agent Markdown controls prompt instructions and world-model views. Git/Jira identity and configured approval groups control human decisions.
