+# Implementation Plan: Conductor Path Configuration (conductor_path_configurable_20260306)
+
+## Phase 1: Centralized Path Resolver
+- [ ] Task: Create path resolver module
+    - WHERE: src/orchestrator_pm.py or new module
+    - WHAT: Single function to get conductor path
+    - HOW: Check env var, then config, then default
+    - SAFETY: Immutable after first call
+
+## Phase 2: Update Modules
+- [ ] Task: Update orchestrator_pm.py
+    - WHERE: src/orchestrator_pm.py
+    - WHAT: Use centralized resolver
+    - HOW: Import and use get_conductor_path()
+- [ ] Task: Update project_manager.py
+    - WHERE: src/project_manager.py
+    - WHAT: Use centralized path
+    - HOW: Import from orchestrator_pm
+- [ ] Task: Update app_controller.py
+    - WHERE: src/app_controller.py
+    - WHAT: Use centralized path
+    - HOW: Import from orchestrator_pm
+
+## Phase 3: Config Support
+- [ ] Task: Add to config.toml
+    - WHERE: config.toml
+    - WHAT: conductor_path option
+    - HOW: toml key
+- [ ] Task: Add env var support
+    - WHERE: src/orchestrator_pm.py
+    - WHAT: CONDUCTOR_DIR env var
+    - HOW: os.environ.get()
+
+## Phase 4: Verification
+- [ ] Task: Test with different paths
+- [ ] Task: Test default behavior
+- [ ] Task: Conductor - Phase Verification

+# Track Specification: Conductor Path Configuration (conductor_path_configurable_20260306)
+
+## Overview
+Eliminate hardcoded paths in the application. Make the conductor directory path configurable via config.toml or environment variable, allowing the running app to use a different directory from the development tracks.
+
+## Current State Audit
+### Already Implemented
+- CONDUCTOR_PATH in orchestrator_pm.py is hardcoded to Path(\"conductor\")
+- project_manager.py uses Path(base_dir) / \"conductor\" / \"tracks\"
+- app_controller.py hardcodes \"conductor\" and \"conductor/tracks\"
+
+### Gaps to Fill
+- No config-based path override
+- No environment variable support
+
+## Goals
+- Make conductor path configurable
+- Support config.toml and environment variable
+- Backward compatible (default to ./conductor)
+
+## Functional Requirements
+- Config file support in config.toml
+- Environment variable support (CONDUCTOR_DIR)
+- Runtime path resolution
+- All modules use centralized path resolver
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [ ] config.toml has conductor_path option
+- [ ] CONDUCTOR_DIR env var works
+- [ ] Default remains ./conductor
+- [ ] All modules use resolved path
+- [ ] Backward compatible
