Each execute agent has significant startup cost (context loading, codebase
exploration, baseline tests). The previous sizing guidance (sweet spot
<150 lines, 1-3 files, merge at <20 lines) produced tasks too small to
justify that overhead.
New guidance targets cohesive feature units: 200-500 lines across 3-6
files as the sweet spot, merge threshold at <100 lines, and explicit
instruction to bundle related changes (validation + route + tests = one
task, not three).
