+kind: internal
+title: Verify scoped project instructions through real plan workers
+pr: 1906
+surface: [engine]
+invalidates: []
+---
+
+The production rule-forwarding fix already landed in #1627. Actual-terminal
+coverage now verifies that both the plan worker and checker receive the applicable
+project rule and exclude another project's rule. A live multi-step workflow also
+checks the generated files and executes the recorded verification command.
