Audit and rationalize rune context modifiers Review every declared contextModifiers entry across core and plugins, decide whether the pairing is meaningful, and either style it or remove it. The lone KNOWN_MISSING_SELECTORS context entry — Hero's feature → in-feature — is the first casualty: it has no sensible rendering, so the modifier comes out rather than getting CSS.

Enforce parent nesting at build time Turn RuneConfig.parent into a validated, self-declared requiresParent constraint (SPEC-084). A child rune that declares it must live inside a given parent, but appears outside it, surfaces a diagnostic instead of rendering silently-broken output. Crucially this is open-world: only a rune that self-declares a requirement is ever checked — the framework keeps no registry of allowed children, so third-party runes on either side just work.

Composability authoring contract + CLI coverage audit The authoring-facing half of SPEC-084: a contract guide for rune authors plus a CLI audit. (The end-user catalog of concrete compositions lives separately in the "Compositions" docs category, WORK-346 — this item is the "how the contract works" reference, not the recipe book.)

Media-zone guest adaptation (any visual rune sits cleanly in a media zone) Per SPEC-084's open-world styling rule, a container adapts its slot, not the specific guest. Containers that already expose a media zone (card, feature, hero, recipe) should size/clip any visual rune dropped into that zone — map today, chart/gallery/diagram/embed/sandbox next — via one name-agnostic selector, rather than per-pair styling. map-in-card is the proof case.

Modernize plan card-sugars to compose with the bar rune The plan sugars backlog, decision-log, and plan-activity lower to collection with bespoke card/table bodies that predate the bar rune. Rebuild their default bodies to compose from bar and give backlog a layout passthrough — while keeping the rollup faithful when the query mixes entity types.

Expose group metadata in collection item templates When collection groups results, the per-item template can't see which group it belongs to or that group's size — so authors drop to aggregate for anything group-aware. Expose the group key (and count) on $item so grouped collections can render group context inline.

Explicit bento-cell authoring Make {% bento-cell %} a first-class authoring path for full per-tile control (the dashboard use case), alongside the heading sugar. Today the bento-cell tag is registered but convertHeadings would swallow a hand-authored cell into the preceding heading's content, so explicit authoring doesn't actually work.
