### AI Temporary Role Filling

Per **Universal Rule 5** (Organizational Responsibility), AI systems will continue work using best judgment for all 5 roles while you coordinate hiring:
- Drafting plans → PM verification
- Writing tests → QA review
- Following security patterns → Security review
- Maintaining scripts → DevOps verification
- Following WCAG patterns → Auditor review

**Escalation**: If temporary work insufficient, AI will escalate blocker to you for priority hiring.
