# acknowledgment_in_first_commit

## v1

**Why this iteration:** Lifted from `conductor/tier2/agents/tier2-autonomous.md:32-52` + `conductor/tier2/commands/tier-2-auto-execute.md:17-27` — the first commit of every Tier 2 autonomous track MUST include `TIER-2 READ <list> before <task>` in the commit message. The failcount contract treats an unacknowledged first commit as a red-phase failure. This is the structural defense against the 2026-06-24 MCP regression.
