Prefer compass commands for lifecycle operations

For any lifecycle operation that compass covers — branch sync (pr sync), CI state (pr checks), PR creation/merge (pr create/merge), task state flips (task start/done), review rounds (review list/reply/resolve) — invoke the compass command rather than raw git/gh equivalents, even when the raw command feels quicker.

Why: Compass commands carry side-effects the raw commands skip: journal stamps, story-table wiring, PR records on tasks, state/date flips. Hand-running git fetch/rebase or gh pr view silently drops those, causing state drift the sprint audit then flags. Marco corrected this during the literate-templates story (2026-06-06).

How to apply: Before reaching for git/gh in an agile workflow step, check compass –help for the matching subcommand; if compass lacks it, file a capture for the gap instead of working around it.
