Merge release/1.5.0 into main

Ending a turn right after spawning a subagent fired the bell and a toast
saying the response was finished, while the work continued. The Stop
payload carries background_tasks, so skip the signal when it is not
empty; the next turn end signals once the work is really done.

Interaction requests still signal during background work. A missing
field still signals, so an older client loses nothing. Also drop the
message suffix when it merely restates the label.

+# Darwin run 2026-08-25/26: fresh baseline + threshold optimization + bug pass
+
+Branch `feature/darwin-optimize-20260825`, 26 commits, 39 files, +299/-142.
+Log: `~/.agents/skills/darwin-skill/results.tsv` (fresh, the May file was wiped
+by the 2026-06-23 reinstall). Method: darwin v2.1. Absolute scores served as
+triage only; every keep/revert decision came from a paired same-judge majority
+(3 judges per round, before/after read in one call).
+
+## Scope
+
+54 units: 31 personal skill-systems (SKILL.md + dispatched agents judged
+together, per EVAL-004) and 23 agents. Excluded: gstack/external symlinks
+(BDR-015/043, LRN-070), darwin-skill itself (BDR-058 pin), and find-docs,
+newly identified as machine-owned ctx7 output (gitignored, installer-written).
+
+## Baseline (7 blind judges, dims scored 1-10, totals recomputed main-thread per LRN-018)
+
+Mean 83.4 (skills 83.5, agents 83.3). Best: deploy, release-candidate,
+release-executor (90.4). Worst: skills-perso 63.5. All dim8 rows marked
+dry_run by design; live execution happened later, inside the paired rounds.
+13 units scored below the user-set threshold of 80.
+
+## Phase 2: threshold loop, 13/13 units, 0 reverts
+
+Every round was validated by 3 paired judges (neutral, skeptic, realism).
+All verdicts 3-0 better.
+
+| Unit (baseline) | Round(s) | What changed |
+|---|---|---|
+| skills-perso (63.5) | d8 | Detection rebuilt on the link.sh convention: symlink = external, real dir = personal, gitignored = machine-generated. Live result 8/31 to 31/31, zero false positives |
+| interviewer (70.9) | d3, d9 | Failure-mode table (vague, "you decide", contradiction, partial, balloon) + 2-round budget; DO-NOT list |
+| onboarder (71.5) | d8 | BRIEF contract split REQUIRED/OPTIONAL; null enrichment becomes TODO placeholders; STOP kept for required keys and unresolved monorepo. Kills the guaranteed first-dispatch bounce vs /onboard STEP 2 |
+| pdf-translate (72.3) | d3/d8 | 8-row failure table: deps, >30 pages gate, zero-output, illisible markers, design-html/browse fallbacks, QA cap 2, stale workdir |
+| refactor (75.6) + refactorer (76.8) | d4/d3 | No-tests STOP gate + GO-WITHOUT-TESTS arbitration in the dispatcher; mid-run test-failure revert protocol; code-cleaner inline carve-out |
+| profile (77.3) | d3 | 6-row failure table, every row fact-checked against profile.sh (rc=1 paths, partial toggle, split plugin leg, BLK-006 contradiction); fixture de-drift |
+| plugin-probe (78.5) + plugin-advisor (77.5) | d8 | FRAMEWORK-DEPS now exact dep@version (preact false-hit killed, fallback actually fires; the old `\|\| true` silently emitted nothing and tripped the advisor's fail-closed path on non-Node projects); frontend/fast-libs derivable; PLAN echoed-or-unknown, invention removed |
+| analyze (77.7) + analyzer (78.0) | d1, d2 | Bilingual triggers + fix-wanted disambiguator; TASKS ordered, each step mapped to its OUTPUT section |
+| status-reporter (78.0) | d5 x2 | Fabrication-forcing token field replaced, then restored producibly from doctor.sh constants (a skeptic judge found the source); dead ROADMAP row rewritten post-ADR-013 |
+| gitflow (78.4) | d3 | 7-row failure table keyed to lib return codes; rc=4 conflict resume empirically verified; human merge gate untouched |
+
+## Bug pass: verified defects in above-threshold units, 8 commits, all kept 3-0
+
+- hotfix: `git restore .` on every failure branch wiped tolerated in-progress
+  user edits. Now: `git stash create` pre-flight snapshot + file-scoped
+  restore + fresh-dispatch-only security gate. Two skeptic residuals amended
+  (RULES bullet, FILE(S) new-file marker).
+- init-project: allowed-tools lacked Agent and Skill while every step
+  dispatches. commit-change: conflict grep now covers all 7 unmerged codes.
+  tour: --report-only no longer commits (could land on develop).
+- harden: severity rule now defers to the calibrated guide; the late SSL Labs
+  grade has an assigned actor.
+- plan-challenger: ERROR joined the load-bearing verdict grammar.
+- handover writers: stale chapter refs corrected (glossary/tone to §6,
+  cross-links and THRESHOLD-OVERRIDE to §5); STEP 14.5 verification deferred
+  post-write; anchor gate ordered into STEP 16.
+- security-auditor: /hotfix no-verifier carve-out documented. close: STEP 5C
+  enumerated, --no-push passthrough added.
+- prune-memory: false "v1-untested" note replaced by the real tests/ state.
+  code-clean: executor attribution corrected (code-cleaner, refactorer inline).
+- Fixtures de-drifted: plugin-check (PLUGIN CHECK block, real plugin names),
+  onboard (nextjs-app-router).
+
+`make test` green (0 RED, rc=0) after one census rewrap: a locked phrase had
+been line-wrapped and the single-line grep lock caught it.
+
+## Residual findings, logged not fixed
+
+- analyze triggers: "how does X work" brushes graphify's territory; graphify's
+  graph-exists routing still wins.
+- pdf-translate: pdfinfo row assumes poppler (fitz also has page count); "GB"
+  slightly overstated near the 30-page gate.
+- web-validate: .validate-cache mkdir lives in a skipped STEP 0
+  (self-recoverable); axis budgets 35/25/40 never reconciled with the base-100
+  deduction table. seo/geo minor wording items. verifier/doc-syncer/audit-delta
+  restatement redundancy (cosmetic). handover-doc-writer STEP 14.5 umbrella
+  line still says "BEFORE STEP 15" while the inner note overrides it.
+- bugfix trivial-fast-path boundary loosely defined; feat prompt-3 expectation
+  vs full gate pipeline.
+
+## Methodology notes
+
+- v2.1 paired majority produced 36 unit-round verdicts and 24 batch verdicts,
+  all better, 0 reverts, 0 ties. The May-2026 run under absolute-delta scoring
+  had reverted 2 edits on judge noise; this run had no such event.
+- Judges live-executed wherever the artifact was executable (skills-perso
+  detection, profile.sh probes, plugin grep on scratch manifests, doctor.sh
+  grep, git merge no-op resume). Behavior outranked prose in 5 units.
+- Two grep-exit-masking bugs surfaced (a `head` pipe swallowing the fallback's
+  trigger), one in the probe being fixed, one in this run's own test harness.
+  The pattern is worth a learning entry.

 - **Real cause**: two viable-looking paths, both dead. (API KEY) is per-user not per-site (docs), but IS the account identity → one key per client account, exactly what the user feared; non-scoped, no expiry, passed in query string. (OAuth) is the right delegation model (like GSC) but a swamp: Redirect URI rejects ALL local forms (http/https/127.0.0.1 — user-tested); refresh tokens are ROTATED + single-use, self-described non-compliant with OAuth 2.0 → store rewrite every call, AND our parallel seo‖geo dispatch would race the rotation → `invalid_grant` + dead token; undocumented "Could not extract expected anti-forgery token" on refresh, unanswered on MS Q&A; docs contradict themselves on grant_type + token endpoint; no library. MS's own advisor recommends falling back to the API key.
 - **Verified live**: the Webmaster API itself is ALIVE (`GetUserSites?apikey=INVALID` → HTTP 400 `{"ErrorCode":3,"Message":"InvalidApiKey"}`, 0.4s) — distinct from Bing SEARCH API (retired 2025-08-11). So the block is auth/model, not availability.
 - **Status**: open/deferred. REVIVAL: a client already on Bing adds the user as Read-Only → test in ~10 min whether one API key sees DELEGATED sites (undocumented, nobody knows).

+## BLK-018 — release-executor finish span blocked by permission classifier (human signal invisible to subagent) — 2026-07-20
+- **Friction**: v1.3.1 release — `SPAN: finish` dispatch denied at tool-permission layer: classifier flagged "Merge Without Review" (`gitflow.sh finish` in subagent transcript carries no explicit human merge signal). Executor correctly refused workaround, reported BLOCKED. v1.2.0/v1.3.0 same span passed → classifier behavior change, not skill regression.
+- **Real cause**: gitflow doctrine "finish only on explicit human signal" lives in DISPATCHER transcript (user ask + STEP 4 AskUserQuestion go); subagent transcript starts fresh → classifier sees consequential merge with zero authorization evidence. Structural: any human-gated action dispatched to a subagent loses its gate evidence.
+- **Solution** (workaround): dispatcher ran `gitflow.sh finish` + tag inline after its own human gate — where the signal is real. Release completed clean (main `648bc6e`, tag v1.3.1).
+- **Status**: open. Candidate fixes: (a) quote gate evidence verbatim in span prompt — untested vs classifier; (b) move finish+tag span permanently inline in /release-candidate — keeps prep span dispatched, costs the sonnet pin on ~5 mechanical commands, cheap; (c) permission rule allowing subagent `gitflow.sh finish` — weakens the guard, refused. Decide at next release.

+## BLK-019 — notify-attention bell silent, toast OK (VS Code client default) — 2026-09-01
+- **Friction**: hook fired, Windows toast arrived, native bell never audible. User heard only Windows toast sound. Looked like half-broken hook.
+- **Real cause**: not hook. Toast proves full `terminalSequence` reached terminal, `\a\a` sits at head of that same string → BEL emitted. VS Code defaults `accessibility.signals.terminalBell` to `"auto"` = sound OFF unless screen reader active.
+- **Solution**: `"accessibility.signals.terminalBell": { "sound": "on" }` in CLIENT-side user settings.json (`c:/Users/<u>/AppData/Roaming/Code/User/`). Unreachable from remote: real SSH remote, not WSL (no `/mnt/c`, `/proc/version` no Microsoft). User applied, retest → both channels OK.
+- **Status**: resolved (per-client-machine, not repo-portable).
+- **Reference**: `~/.claude/hooks/notify-attention.sh` header already documented the setting; never applied. New client machine → bell mute again while toast works. Silent-degradation class [[LRN-047]].
+
+## BLK-020 — notify-attention: both channels dead on one VS Code client — 2026-09-02
+- **Friction**: client-side prereqs applied on Windows box (ext `wenbopan.vscode-terminal-osc-notifier` + `accessibility.signals.terminalBell` sound:on), window reloaded. AskUserQuestion → nothing. `idle_prompt` 90s wait → nothing. Direct write `\a\a` + OSC 777 to claude own pty (`/dev/pts/2`) → nothing. Second client machine, same SSH server, same hook, same registries → both channels OK.
+- **Server side cleared**: hook dry-run emits `BELx2 + OSC 777 + ST` correctly, `jq` present, matcher covers `idle_prompt`, ext NOT wrongly installed remote-side. Not a hook bug — same class as [[BLK-019]] (client default silently degrades).
+- **Real cause**: unresolved. Facts: claude runs under `dtach -c ~/.dtach/claude-190012`; claude fd1 = `/dev/pts/2` (inner pty, dtach master side), REAL VS Code terminal = `/dev/pts/1` held by dtach client pid 742794. `VSCODE_SHELL_INTEGRATION` unset this terminal; ext marketplace doc requires shell integration ON. BUT other working session (`claude-154323`) also runs under dtach → dtach alone insufficient explanation, weight shifts back to client-side.
+- **Probes run**: direct write to `/dev/pts/1` (real VS Code pty, chain alive: bash pts/1 → dtach client 742794 S+ → master → claude pts/2) → no bell, no toast. Visible-marker injection both paths → user saw neither, BUT inconclusive: claude TUI repaints, injected text clobbered next frame. Only BEL is repaint-proof, and BEL stays silent.
+- **Client settings verified by user**: settings.json path correct (no VS Code profile indirection), `terminalBell` sound on, ext installed + enabled local side. VS Code recent (server dirs 2026-08), so ≥ 1.93 ext requirement met.
+- **Next probe**: user opens FRESH VS Code integrated terminal (no dtach, no claude TUI) and runs `printf '\a\a\033]777;notify;Test;hello\033\\'`. Isolates client renderer from claude/dtach path. Beep+toast there → fault in claude/dtach path; nothing → client-side, diff against working machine.
+- **Fresh-terminal probe (decisive)**: user ran `printf '\a\a\033]777;notify;Test;hello\033\\'` in NEW VS Code terminal → toast OK, bell still silent. Splits one symptom into TWO independent faults.
+- **Fault A (toast in claude session)**: ext parses only terminals created AFTER its activation. Claude terminal pts/1 born 19:00, ext installed later same day → that terminal never hooked. Fix: restart claude in fresh terminal, or re-attach existing dtach session from one (`dtach -a ~/.dtach/<sess>`; dtach broadcasts to multiple clients, no session loss). NOT a dtach filtering bug — earlier hypothesis wrong.
+- **Fault B (bell)**: silent even in fresh terminal where toast works → not terminal path, VS Code audio side. Toast sound = Windows notification (works); bell = VS Code process audio (mute). Suspects: signal volume option, Windows volume mixer entry for Code, output device. Probe: palette `Help: List Signal Sounds` → Terminal Bell plays preview or not.
+- **Fault A RESOLVED (verified 2026-09-02)**: re-attached session from fresh terminal (`dtach -a ~/.dtach/claude-190012`, new client pts/3). Both sends toasted — one through session path (pts/2, dtach broadcast), one direct. Rule: ext hooks only terminals born AFTER its activation → install ext, THEN start/re-attach claude session. dtach broadcast means zero session loss.
+- **Fault B still open**: bell silent on every path. New signal: toasts arrive but user reports NO sound at all, while [[BLK-019]] machine got audible Windows toast sound. Both audio channels dead + both visual channels fine → common factor is client audio output, not terminal stream. Suspects ranked: Windows per-app notification sound off for Code, system/app volume mixer mute, wrong output device, `accessibility.signalOptions.volume` 0.
+- **Fault B ROOT CAUSE ISOLATED (2026-09-02)**: palette `Help: List Signal Sounds` → Terminal Bell preview plays NO sound, while Windows toast sound IS audible. Preview bypasses terminal, BEL, hook, dtach, ext entirely → VS Code renderer audio itself mute on this box. Toast sound emitted by Windows shell, not by Code → explains why one audio channel works and other does not.
+- **Fix candidates (client, ranked)**: (1) Windows per-app volume mixer — Code muted/0, or per-app OUTPUT DEVICE pointing at disconnected device (mixer only lists app after it attempts playback → hit preview first, then open mixer); (2) VS Code `accessibility.signalOptions.volume` = 0 kills all signals; (3) compare both against working machine.
+- **Pragmatic out**: toast already carries audible Windows sound → attention signal functional without bell. Bell is redundant channel, not blocker.
+- **Fault B RESOLVED (2026-09-03)**: cause = Windows per-app volume mixer, Code entry at 0. Toast audible throughout because Windows shell emits that sound, not Code → masked a plain app-volume mute. User set volume up → bell audible.
+- **Status**: resolved (A: ext hooks only terminals born after activation → install ext THEN start/re-attach session; B: Code app volume 0 in Windows mixer).
+- **Lesson**: two independent client faults presented as one symptom ("nothing works"). Splitting probe = run signal in FRESH terminal + play VS Code's own sound preview. Preview bypasses terminal/BEL/hook/dtach/ext → isolates renderer audio in one step. Do that FIRST next time, before any server-side archaeology.
+- **Reference**: [[BLK-019]] bell-only variant (resolved differently — setting alone insufficient here), [[LRN-145]] terminalSequence-not-/dev/tty pattern. Silent-degradation class [[LRN-047]].

+Deleted hooks/config-protection.sh + its settings.json PreToolUse registration + lib/tests/config-protection.test.sh. Hook blocked model Edit/Write on quality-gate files (settings.json, gitflow.sh, .githooks, doctor.sh, hooks, lib/tests, lint) via one-shot .claude/.config-edit-ok sentinel. Removed per user req — friction editing own config > guardrail value; user = human operator.

+After a plan/reflection elaborated + before execution, 3 fresh blind sub-agents (correctness/robustness/simplicity) attack it; main loop RE-THINKS every aspect a BLOCKER lands (named change or [deferred]) + re-challenges once if plan materially changed. Reusable lib/challenge-plan.md + new agents/plan-challenger.md (read-only, big-model per [[BDR-066]] — audit judgment, NOT sonnet). Fail-safe (never fail open: mute→retry→escalate), severity-driven (any single-lens BLOCKER=must-address, NOT consensus — lenses orthogonal), advisory into existing human gate. KIND tunes lenses: build-plan/proposals/fix-bundle. Wired 11 orchestrators: ship-feature/init-project/feat/bugfix + onboard/audit-delta/code-clean + seo/geo/harden/web-validate.

+Reverses the BDR-066 rejected alternative "opus pins on audit agents (session-independent)". Context changed: session default now Fable (Mythos tier, /model 2026-07-19) — inherit meant every dispatched audit/challenge burned Fable quota, exactly the waste BDR-066 killed for executors. New rule: Fable does ONLY main-loop orchestration + reflection (brainstorm, plan, contract, synthesis, gates); EVERY dispatched subagent pinned. Pinned `model: opus` (big tier, session-independent; NEVER sonnet — silent audit downgrade, the thing old §F5 guarded): analyzer, plan-challenger, seo-analyzer, geo-analyzer, validator-analyzer + onboard's 6 general-purpose audit dispatches (`model="opus"`) + tour Phase B. NOT pinned (justified deviation from approved "7 agents"): interviewer + client-handover-writer — inline-load only, never dispatched → frontmatter pin inert + misleading (BDR-066 wave-4 precedent: its inert opus pin was dropped); they ARE the main loop = Fable per the rule. Explore built-in stays inherit (wave-3 decision conserved: no owned prompt, search feeds inline reflection). Local session pin `opus-4-8[1m]` dropped from `.claude/settings.local.json` (gitignored) — Fable default from settings.json now applies in this repo too. model-gate.md unchanged (still guards inline reflection, Fable-or-Opus = big). Census: model-routing.test.sh §3 flip + §11 (61 pass), loops-light 35 pass, full `make test` green. User directives via gate: "Opus partout" + "Supprimer le pin".

+Supersedes BDR-076 scope + amends BDR-066. Doctrine: session model (Fable) = main-loop reflection/orchestration/planning/logic ONLY; main-loop retention criteria = interactive | conversation-context access | orchestration decision | dispatch overhead > step cost. NOTHING dispatched inherits: typed agents = frontmatter pin, built-ins = `model=` at every call site (`fable` for skill-runner reflection children, else complexity tier). Spike+smoke proven: `model:"fable"` resolves claude-fable-5 (enum-validated, loud fail, no silent fallback); call-site override BEATS a typed pin (sonnet-pinned verifier ran haiku). Fail-safe pin rule: mixed-mode agents keep the HIGH tier as pin, overrides go DOWN — forgotten override over-tiers (cost), never downgrades judgment. Mode-based splits (commit-changer precedent generalized; file splits rejected): doc-syncer audit(opus)/patch(sonnet) — ALSO fixed a latent defect: /doc dispatched an agent whose STEP 8 interactive gate could never fire; gates hoisted to a DISPATCHER PROTOCOL section; handover-doc-writer synthesize(opus)/render(sonnet) via run-scoped `.audit/handover-draft-<RUNID>.md` + DRAFT COMPLETE sentinel; seo/geo collect(sonnet)/judge(OPUS PIN)/template(sonnet) via `.audit/*-signals-<RUNID>.md` + COLLECTION COMPLETE + fail-closed judge + dispatcher ERROR contract (mute/ERROR judge NEVER carried into templating; retry once, escalate). File split only for a genuinely new role: plugin-probe (sonnet, facts-only) + plugin-advisor repinned opus reasoner (fail-closed on missing PROBE REPORT) + lib/plugin-gate.md (checkpoint + apply gate, doc-commit ×N include pattern). Inline→dispatch conversions: scaffolder, onboarder, doc-commit steps ×5 flows — their sonnet pins were INERT since creation, now live; CHANGE SUMMARY crosses the doc dispatch into doc-commit (LRN-126 wire). Tier moves: validator-analyzer opus→sonnet (deterministic runner); commit-changer propose=opus/apply=pin; ship-feature/init-project code-review dispatches = opus explicit (WAS an inherit leak); client-handover-writer's 7 skill-runners = model:"fable". Every wave shipped an IN-WAVE planted-input smoke as its merge gate — all PASSED disk-verified. Census §12-18 (125 pass; one vacuous line-wrapped lock self-caught = LRN-093 live). 6 waves, branches feature/model-tiering-w1..w6, merged on user standing signal. Plan: challenged 3 blind lenses + 1 confirmation (1 BLOCKER closed by spike, 8 MAJORs + 8 MINORs closed by named changes, 0 deferred).

Audit 2026-07-20: coverage PARTIAL — find-docs fired on user doc-questions only; ship-feature 0c / init-project 5c pre-fetched; /feat //bugfix executors + ad-hoc coding NEVER consulted ctx7; fast-libs list hardcoded 3× (drift risk). 4 closures shipped: (a) find-docs description += BEFORE-writing-code trigger (fast-moving lib, even without doc question, unless fresh cache) + cache-first rule in body (tee fetched docs to .ctx7-cache/); (b) feater+bugfixer briefs += fast-lib docs rule — read fresh `.ctx7-cache/<lib>*.md`, else `npx ctx7@latest` fetch max 2 topics, else `ctx7 cache miss: <lib>` in NOTES + proceed (executors lack Skill tool → Bash path); (c) hooks/ctx7-reminder.sh UserPromptSubmit — ONE fire/session (sentinel on session_id), only when project manifest carries fast-libs; reports cache state; skips <task-notification> turns; always exit 0; (d) lib/fast-libs.sh = SINGLE SOURCE (detect / cache-status verbs, JS package.json anchored full-key match + Python requirements/pyproject, 7-day freshness, LC_ALL=C sort locale-independent) consumed by hook + 3 pipeline skills + 2 briefs. 2nd session surface DELIBERATE, not a BDR-053 reversal: 053 killed a 490-tok ALWAYS-ON rule duplicate; hook costs ~0 quiet, 1 line once when fast-libs present. Alternatives rejected: PreToolUse Edit/Write gate (fires per-edit = noise); description-only fix (probabilistic, executors unreachable).

+Audit (user ask "profile toggles externals both ways?"): ASYMMETRIC. Enable side OK — gstack on-demand from submodule when pack off (shared `skills-disabled/gstack__*` convention with toggle-external.sh, interoperable), externals restored from parked, magic delegated to toggle-external. Disable side MISSING: `cmd_set` trimmed only gstack + MANAGED_PLUGINS → `set backend` left emil/frontend-design/design-motion/impeccable active + magic registered; SKILL.md claimed both-ways toggle (true only at enable). Shipped: (1) `MANAGED_EXTERNALS` (emil-design-eng, frontend-design, design-motion-principles, impeccable = exact union of profile `external` usage; darwin-skill excluded — not task-type-driven) + `MANAGED_MCPS` (magic) allowlists, same doctrine as MANAGED_PLUGINS; (2) cmd_set refactored to 4 trim helpers (`disable_{gstack,plugins,externals,mcps}_not_in`) — symmetric, nothing outside allowlists ever auto-touched; (3) enable_skill external += from-source fallback (`ln -sf skills-external/<name>`, mirrors toggle-external) — closes the "missing symlink" warn; (4) stale usage() NOTE ("NOT toggled automatically") + SKILL.md fixed. Hermetic test profile-set-managed.test.sh 16 checks: fixture repo (both *_REPO_OVERRIDE), fake `claude` shim on PATH logging calls + flat-file MCP registry — gstack on-demand, external from-source, park/restore round-trip, magic add/remove calls, non-managed untouched. shellcheck + make test green.

+### BDR-080 — bug routing inverted: /bugfix primary, /investigate explicit-only [accepted] (2026-07-21)
+Old routing "Bug → investigate (bugfix if gstack off)" + gstack ON by default → every bug took path bypassing own quality pipeline (gitflow aiguillage, contract, fresh verifier + security gates, doc-sync, `.claude/memory` registries) — /bugfix relegated to near-never fallback. Skill comparison: same core doctrine (root-cause iron law, hypothesis loop, regression test, 3-strike stop, >5-files alert) but incompatible wrappers — investigate monolithic (same context investigates+fixes+verifies, ~1075-line SKILL.md w/ gstack preamble/telemetry/onboarding, capitalizes to `~/.gstack` learnings.jsonl framework never reads at session start); bugfix orchestrator (reflection inline, sonnet bugfixer executor, fresh gates — BDR-066, LRN-083). Composition rejected: skills superpose in context, don't compose — invoking investigate inside bugfix = two full workflows, two completion protocols, two memory systems loaded at once. Decision: CLAUDE.global.md routing line inverted — bugfix primary; investigate ONLY on explicit ask for gstack ecosystem (cross-project learnings, /freeze scope lock, long no-commit investigation). Alternatives rejected: keep investigate primary (bypasses framework), embed investigate inside bugfix (context conflict, dual memory).

Research (official migration guide + web + registries): Opus 5 OVER-delegates (inverts LRN-030 Opus 4.8 trait that CLAUDE.global.md:43-47 compensated), self-verifies (explicit verify instructions → over-verification, "removing them reduces wasted tokens with no loss in quality"), literal following (conservative-reporting clauses depress recall; MUST/CRITICAL over-triggers), scope expansion = named regression, written deliverables +30-40%.

+### BDR-083 — contract gates: deterministic floor (GATE 0) under the verifier [accepted] (2026-08-24)
+User asked what to take from `unlazy` skill (Leonxlnx/unlazy 2.1.0, MIT). Verdict on its verification ARCHITECTURE: teaches nothing we lack — contract + fresh blind verifier + bounded loops + order invariant already shipped (BDR-049/050/066, LRN-083). Real gap found elsewhere: between executor and GATE 1, NO deterministic floor. GATE 1 = LLM dispatch; verifier's mandatory `PROOF:` line = a line the verifier WRITES — nothing structurally stops it being produced without executing anything (LRN-048 demands a pass prove it looked; the proof is self-reported prose). Decision: import unlazy's gate ledger INTO the existing contract, never alongside it. Palier 2, user-chosen over doctrine-only / defer.
+TAKEN: criterion carries an oracle (indented `CHECK:` cmd + `EXPECT:` success-only marker + `EVIDENCE:` slot); fail-closed = exit 0 AND marker (a nonzero process never passes because its error text carries the token); evidence persisted INTO the contract → the fresh verifier reads fact, not the executor's report; `ABANDON: <id> <non-blank reason>` = impossible criterion never deleted, blocks CONFORME, routes to human gate (new verdict token `ABANDONED(n)` — distinct routing from ECARTS ⇒ distinct token, not a sub-line to re-derive); 4 gate-authoring rules (observe the named artifact / success-only marker / positive control before any absence check / recompute supplied numbers, never copy one into EXPECT); 4-pass executor discipline (feater full; bugfixer narrowed to fix+test under "keep the fix minimal", pass 3 = negative control proving the regression test fails without the fix).
+REFUSED + why: Stop hook `decision:"block"` — contradicts "STOP + human escalation", "gone WRONG → STOP re-plan", "merge only on explicit human signal"; a hook FORCING continuation is the inverse of our gates; its 6-block release either traps the session or gives up; each block = an agent continuation = real tokens. Approval store `~/.unlazy/approved` (binds ledger+cmd+CWD+shell+timeout+platform+full PATH) — exists to execute ledgers INHERITED from untrusted repos; our contracts are authored by our own orchestrator in our own repo ⇒ biggest chunk of their 28k checker closes zero threat here. `.unlazy/<scope>/` tree (PLAN+GATES+gates/+status.log+session+hook-state+locks/) — a 4th bookkeeping tree beside .claude/tasks/{contracts,plans} + memory/ + audits/. `tree N` Depth-Tree effort arithmetic — disowned by unlazy's OWN research/validation-protocol.md (v1 six-run figures unreproducible), while the repo DESCRIPTION still advertises the retracted claim. Node checker (28k .mjs + 54k .mjs tests) — lib stack is 100% bash, Health Stack = `shellcheck *.sh hooks/*.sh lib/*.sh` would cover none of it. `OWNS:` ownership leases — deferred (Palier 3): our parallel dispatches (seo/geo, 3 plan-challengers) are read-only, the write-collision problem does not exist yet.
+Shipped: lib/gates.sh (~250 l bash; `status` never executes and never writes · `run` ALWAYS re-executes every runnable criterion — trusting written evidence is the failure being closed, so there is no incremental mode to get wrong; rc 0 MET / 2 UNMET|malformed / 3 ABANDONED; parse fails closed on partial oracle, duplicate id, unindented attribute, runnable-without-EVIDENCE, and executes nothing when the ledger is malformed). GATE 0 in lib/verify-secure-loop.md (red floor → executor re-dispatch with the NOT-MET rows, NO verifier spawned; own 3-iteration budget, separate from conformity; malformed ledger fixed in the main loop, never dispatched to a dev). Order invariant now GATE 0→1→2 on every re-loop. lib/contract-interview.md: ORACLES section + template + ABANDONMENT lifecycle + per-flow oracle weight. agents/verifier.md: oracle-consumption rules — a red or unrun oracle is NEVER overridden by reading code; a MET oracle proves the ORACLE, not the English sentence ⇒ vacuous oracle = NOT-MET, the one judgement no command can make; verifier may re-run a CHECK but never edits the contract. lib/tests/gates.test.sh 64 assertions (sentinel-proved non-execution, with its own positive control asserted first).
+Alternatives rejected: Palier 1 doctrine-only (CHECK:/EXPECT: become decorative without an executant); port the Node checker (stack break, shellcheck-blind); fold ABANDONED into ECARTS (would send a dev to fix the impossible and eat the 3-iteration budget); `status` revalidating old evidence (that trust is the failure being closed).

+### BDR-084 — /tour multi-project: parallel runners, bounded LRN-083 derogation [accepted] (2026-08-24)
+User asked whether agent parallelism on independent tasks is ACTIVE. Measured first (LRN-080): (a) mechanics — nested probe, 1 dispatched orchestrator fanned 3 sub-agents, execution windows all overlap, 9.1s vs ~18s sequential ⇒ nested parallel dispatch WORKS; (b) doctrine — already prescribed at 3 layers (harness "single message" injection; /seo, challenge-plan, /cso, graphify explicit same-message mandates; graphify even anti-sequential wording); remaining serializations all MOTIVATED (audit-delta crash-resilience documented, verify-secure-loop order invariant); (c) behavior — probe orchestrator batched spontaneously without being told "parallel" (N=1), this session fanned 8+7 agents/message during the RED. Conclusion: nothing to add globally — a CLAUDE.md "parallelize" line would duplicate-stack the harness injection (BDR-081 anti-pattern).
+ONE real sequential-but-independent candidate: /tour multi-project (independent repos, one by one, no documented reason). User gate: option "tout paralléliser" chosen over report-only-only and no-change, WITH the model invariant "orchestrateur garde le modèle orchestrateur; skills/agents suivent leurs orchestrateurs définis".
+Decision: STEP 0 routes (1 project = inline unchanged; ≥2 = STEP 0b fan-out). One general-purpose runner per project, ALL in ONE message, dispatched with NO model override — inherits the session model (model-gate already validated big; a runner carries tour's reflection: fix decisions, convergence). Inside a runner every agent keeps its defined tier (security-auditor sonnet, Phase B opus, doc-syncer sonnet two-mode). Dead/mute runner ⇒ explicit `RUNNER FAILED` summary row (mute is never a pass). Capitalize offer stays MAIN LOOP ONLY (registries = shared state).
+LRN-083 derogation, bounded: per-project fix loop + convergence now run INSIDE the dispatched runner. Bounded because nothing a runner decides touches shared state — independent repos, per-repo chore branches, branches stay UNMERGED for human review exactly as inline (report-as-approval-gate design unchanged). Precedent: client-handover-writer already a dispatched orchestrator running parallel audit loops (BDR-077).
+Alternatives rejected: report-only-only parallel (my recommendation — user overrode: full parallel wanted); one sub-orchestrator agent .md file (drift risk vs SKILL.md, the runner reads the skill from disk instead — client-handover→/seo precedent); pinning the runner (would put tour reflection on an executor tier — inverts BDR-076); global CLAUDE.md parallelism line (duplicate of harness injection). Census §12: 6 locks (fan-out present, no-pin, single-message, capitalize main-loop, RUNNER FAILED, no pinned runner), flip-tested. Branch feature/tour-parallel, UNMERGED (human gate).

+### BDR-085 — user permanent rules: writing-style always-on in rules/, web rules path-scoped [accepted] (2026-08-25)
+User supplied 4-block permanent rule text (writing / website / code security / self-check), asked: coverage check, conflict check, integrate. Coverage verdict: security CORE (parameterized queries, input validation, env-var secrets, AuthN/AuthZ split + default deny, no stack traces, fail closed, least privilege) ALREADY in CLAUDE.global.md §Security — NOT duplicated. NEW: entire writing-style block, design anti-default list, public-site done-checklist, web-app specifics (browser-exposed keys, service-key/client split, RLS, server-side auth, IDOR, hashed passwords + cookie flags, field minimization, rate limiting, upload restrictions).
+Placement: CLAUDE.global.md at 308/320 (session-start density guard) → no room for ~30 always-on lines. Decision: rules/writing-style.md WITHOUT paths: (always-on load, same session cost, outside the 320 budget) + rules/web-building.md + rules/web-security.md WITH paths: (lazy-load = token win, fire only on web/code files). Project CLAUDE.md doctrine line amended with the budget exception. Feeds C2 self-contradiction audit.
+Conflict carve-outs, stated INSIDE the rules: registries keep caveman format (fragments, em-dashes, bullets); code comments keep code style; structured skill/report templates keep their formats; robuste/transformer banned in buzzword sense only (robustness lens, math transform allowed); no-Inter default rule carries "existing brand identities keep their fonts" (ZenQuality deliverables use Inter+Playfair by brand decision — client-handover BDR).
+Self-check rule scoped to DELIVERABLES (text, site, feature), not every conversational reply — literal "avant de me rendre quoi que ce soit" would append a compliance note to every chat answer, pure noise. User can re-widen.
+Alternatives rejected: compress into CLAUDE.global.md (~11 lines to fit → loses the carve-outs, zero headroom left); path-scope writing-style (applies to conversation, not file reads → would never fire in chat-only sessions); one merged web file (two concerns, one-rule-one-file).

+## BDR-086 — darwin bug-pass scope: verified defects fixed above threshold
+- **Date**: 2026-08-26
+- **Decision**: units < threshold get full weighted-gap optimization loops (per-unit checkpoint). Judge-VERIFIED defects (file:line, confirmed) in above-threshold units get targeted fixes in a grouped pass — same paired 3-judge validation, one batched checkpoint. User-gated at the scorecard.
+- **Why**: leaving a verified destructive path (hotfix `git restore .` wiping tolerated user edits, file scored 85) unfixed = score-worship; rubric serves quality, not the inverse.
+- **Alternatives rejected**: strict threshold (ships known bugs); optimize-everything (cost, HL-4 diminishing returns).

+## BDR-087 — Stop hook = attention signal only, never control flow
+- **Date**: 2026-09-03
+- **Decision**: `hooks/notify-attention.sh` wired on BOTH `Notification` (matcher = input-needed set) AND `Stop` (no matcher). One script, branches on `.hook_event_name` when `.message`/`.notification_type` absent → Stop yields "Claude has finished responding". Bell + toast now fire every turn end.
+- **Why**: Notification types cover input-needed ONLY. Turn-end had no event; nearest was `idle_prompt`, ~60s late — useless for Remote-SSH user away from screen. User enumerated turn-end as required case.
+- **Alternatives rejected**: second dedicated script (duplicates terminalSequence + jq logic, two files to keep in sync); `idle_prompt` alone (60s lag); SubagentStop too (noise, subagent completion not user-visible moment).
+- **Guard vs prior refusal**: [[BDR-083]] (unlazy review, GATE 0) REFUSED a Stop hook using `decision:"block"` (forces continuation, inverts human gates). THIS Stop hook returns `terminalSequence` + `suppressOutput` only, exit 0, zero control-flow effect. Signal ≠ control. Do not read the refusal as banning Stop outright.
+- **Status**: accepted.
+- **Reference**: [[LRN-146]] event-coverage gap, [[BLK-020]] client-side faults, [[LRN-145]] terminalSequence pattern. Verified live: turn-end + AskUserQuestion both ring; `permission_prompt` unexercisable under `defaultMode: auto`.

+- **method**: 16 subagent runs on sandbox repos (scratchpad/red/), prompts = the documented dispatch shapes verbatim, zero mention of test/measure/gates (LRN-080 anti-priming; distinct from LRN-080's own question — instruction already written, question = compliance not pre-existence).

+- **anomalies**: none against doctrine. Fixture flaw (mine): placeholder.txt trick used to fabricate a 2nd commit made v2/v3 diffs contain no feature work — every verifier CAUGHT it (out-of-scope + "implementation pre-exists base commit"), polluting v3's intended pure-ABANDONED measurement → v3b clean fixture added.

 - 4 features KILLED at measurement, not built: B1/B2 (Common Crawl edges = 17.3 GB, ref impl reads 2.9% and calls it a profile — [[BDR-071]]), B3 (GSC Links API doesn't exist), W2 (Bing OAuth swamp — [[BLK-017]]). 30/70 similarity refused (needs content extraction), Playwright refused (R2 [[BDR-072]]), defusedxml refused (DTD-reject keeps stdlib-only). The most trustworthy output was the code NOT written ([[EVAL-025]]).
 - BDR-070/071/072/073 + LRN-131/132/133 + BLK-017 + EVAL-025 capitalized; checked 14 TODO done (I1-I5,W1,W3,C1-C3,B3,R2,H1,H2), W2+R1 left unchecked (deferred/rejected). 2 learnings dropped as dup of [[LRN-074]] (grep/find gitignore + detector-proof). Red thread [[LRN-133]]: an omission must stay legible. Verification discipline [[LRN-131]]/[[LRN-132]]: WebSearch ≠ verification, subagent summary = claim not fact (7 disproven, 3 self-reproduced).
+- Removed config-protection edit-block guardrail (full removal, user req) → feature/drop-config-protection (0e1b89c). Residual gitflow+Gitea guards only. [[BDR-074]] [[LRN-136]].
+- Built framework-wide 3-way plan-challenge phase → feature/plan-challenge-phase (6bfc054): lib/challenge-plan.md + agents/plan-challenger.md + 41-assertion lock, wired into 11 reflection orchestrators (build-plan/proposals/fix-bundle), excluded 6 no-plan skills. Full suite 16/16. [[BDR-075]].
+- Dogfooded the challenge on its own v1 plan: 3 blind lenses caught 4 BLOCKERs + rejected 1 false positive → hardened v2 shipped [[EVAL-026]]. Both branches finished into develop on user signal, NOT pushed.

+- hotfix wired into plan-challenge via Option B (STEP 1.8 logic-only guard): skip cosmetic, fire on logic, BLOCKER→/bugfix. 12th orchestrator. structure lock 43/43, suite 15/15. [[BDR-075]] hotfix-exclusion superseded (see amendment). feature/hotfix-challenge-guard, UNMERGED (user: commit only).
+- Behavioral smoke of the shipped mechanism: 3 blind plan-challenger dispatches on a planted-flaw plan → correctness FATAL(4), robustness FATAL(6), simplicity CONCERNS(1). Each lens caught ITS planted flaw + stayed in-lens. Live-validated severity-driven (SQL-injection BLOCKER raised by robustness ALONE — consensus-weighting would've buried it) + orthogonality. Confirms [[EVAL-026]]/[[BDR-075]] design.

+- BDR-076: dispatched judgment agents pinned opus (analyzer, plan-challenger, seo/geo/validator-analyzer + 6 onboard general-purpose dispatches); Fable now = inline orchestration/reflection only. interviewer + client-handover-writer left unpinned (inline-load, pin inert). Local opus-4-8 session pin dropped from settings.local.json. Census §11 added (61 pass), loops-light 35, make test green. feature/opus-pin-audit-agents, UNMERGED.

+- ctx7 coverage audit (user ask "ctx7 appelé à chaque techno ?") → verdict PARTIAL. 4 gaps: find-docs question-only, /feat //bugfix executors blind, ad-hoc coding uncovered, fast-libs hardcoded 3×. All 4 closed → BDR-078 (fast-libs.sh single source + ctx7-reminder hook + description trigger + executor-brief rule). fast-libs test 11/0, make test + review-guards green. feature/ctx7-coverage, UNMERGED.
+- v1.2.0 cut + pushed (release-candidate flow: prep/finish via release-executor, tag on main 51b6572). CHANGELOG backfilled at prep: 10 entries added to Unreleased (plan-challenge, seo-data verbs, model-tiering v2, integrity pass, safe_fetch/url-guard) — was ctx7-only. /doc full post-release: README model-routing table v1→v2 reframe + ctx7 two-surface wording, chore/doc-sync-v1.2.0 merged. All pushed on explicit go.
+- profile↔toggle-external audit (user) → enable side already symmetric (gstack on-demand LIVE), disable side missing → BDR-079: MANAGED_EXTERNALS+MANAGED_MCPS trim at set, external from-source fallback, 16-check hermetic test (claude shim). feature/profile-managed-externals, UNMERGED.
+- README rebuilt: short pitch (what/how/why) top, old content → reference manual below separator. Dedup title/overview/install block, hardcoded version dropped from footer (staleness risk). chore/readme-v2 merged → develop, pushed.
+- v1.3.1 cut + pushed (docs-only: README rebuild). prep span via release-executor OK; finish span BLOCKED by permission classifier on subagent (no human signal in its transcript) → ran inline after both gates. [[BLK-018]].
+
+## 2026-07-21
+- Skill audit (user ask "pourquoi pas investigate dans bugfix ?") → same core doctrine, incompatible wrappers: investigate = monolithic gstack (own memory ~/.gstack, no gitflow/gates, ~1075-line preamble), bugfix = orchestrator (contract, fresh verifier+security gates, registries). Routing inverted in CLAUDE.global.md: bugfix primary, investigate explicit-only → BDR-080. chore/skill-routing-bugfix, UNMERGED.
+

+- User: auto-gitignore+delete transient pipeline artifacts in all projects. Investigation reframed the ask — gitignore = WRONG tool (files read from disk during run; would break superpowers SDD `git add` of spec). BDR-065 already rejected gitignore + its DELETE side was doctrine-only (no code, manual chore slipped once — 655e364). User picks (2 recommended): keep committed-during-run + AUTOMATE delete; keep `.claude/tasks/{contracts,plans}` versioned.
+- Built `lib/gitflow.sh` `_gitflow_purge_transient` at finish (feature/bugfix, pre-merge, best-effort never-abort, opt-out `GITFLOW_PURGE_TRANSIENT=0`) + `purge-transient` CLI verb. Universal via `~/.claude/lib`→repo symlink. gitflow-test T17 a-d (10 checks, `--full-history` recovery), shellcheck clean, make test exit 0. BDR-065 amendment + [[LRN-138]]. feature/gitflow-auto-purge-transient.

+- User: Opus 5 "needs more freedom" → analyse config + adapt. Research 3-agent (registries / config audit / web) + official migration guide: over-delegation (inverts LRN-030), over-verification, literal following, scope expansion, #80988 injections. Plan challenged 3 blind Opus 5 plan-challengers — robustness FATAL (BLOCKER: symlink-live deployment), all fixes adopted. Shipped: CLAUDE.global.md recalibrated (delegation when-guidance, staff-bar dropped, finish-whole-task, deliverable-length; 308/320), design hook \bux\b dropped flip-tested (22/0), plan-challenger grounded-doubt→[MINOR] (44/0).

Plan survived 4 challenge passes (2 FATAL + confirmation FATAL(9), all closed by name). BDR-082 + LRN-140. Nested-CLI dogfood died on monthly spend limit → inline pipeline (canonical /seo shape). feature/seo-geo-deprescription UNMERGED (human gate). Chantiers C2-C4 pending.

+- Analysed `unlazy` skill (Leonxlnx/unlazy 2.1.0) on user request. Its verification architecture teaches us nothing — contract + fresh blind verifier + bounded loops already shipped. Real gap: no deterministic floor between executor and GATE 1 (the verifier's `PROOF:` is a line it writes, not a process exit).
+- Shipped Palier 2 (user-chosen): lib/gates.sh + GATE 0 + oracle-bearing criteria + `ABANDONED(n)` verdict + 4-pass executors. Refused unlazy's Stop hook, approval store, .unlazy/ tree, tree-N arithmetic, Node checker — [[BDR-083]] records each why.
+- `make test` rc 0, shellcheck clean, 64 new assertions, e2e on a real contract. Branch feature/contract-gates UNMERGED (human gate).
+- Locks caught a reflow regression (5 red on rewrapped phrases, zero doctrine lost) → [[LRN-142]]. Skill-adoption pattern → [[LRN-141]].
+- Parallelism audit (user ask "est-ce actif ?"): measured, not assumed — nested probe proves concurrent fan-out (9.1s vs 18s), doctrine already prescribed everywhere safe, remaining serializations motivated. One candidate found: /tour multi-project → parallel runners shipped ([[BDR-084]], user gate "tout paralléliser" + model invariant). Branch feature/tour-parallel UNMERGED.

+## 2026-08-26 — darwin fresh baseline + threshold run (feature/darwin-optimize-20260825, UNMERGED)
+- `/darwin-skill all skills and agents` (background). Fresh results.tsv (May file wiped). 7 blind judges, 54 rows (31 skill-systems + 23 agents), mean 83.4, 13 <80. find-docs excluded — machine-owned ctx7 (gitignored), 3rd exclusion ground after BDR-015/058.
+- Phase 2: 12 rounds / 13 units, 0 reverts, all paired 3-0 ([[EVAL-028]]). Star: skills-perso detection 8/31 → 31/31 live-verified. Bug pass [[BDR-086]]: 8 commits in above-80 units kept 3-0 (hotfix git-restore data-loss path ★, onboarder contract bounce, plugin data-flow, plan-challenger grammar, handover stale §refs + gate order, tour report-only commit, harden severity, fixtures).
+- make test green after census-rewrap fix ([[LRN-144]]); [[LRN-143]] head-pipe grep mask. 29 commits, report `.claude/audits/DARWIN-2026-08-26.md` + card PNG. Branch awaits human review + merge.
+
+## 2026-09-01
+- Attention signal shipped: hooks/notify-attention.sh + Notification entry in settings.json (bell x2 + OSC 777 toast via terminalSequence). Client-side VS Code steps pending: terminalBell sound:on + osc-notifier ext. [[LRN-145]]. Branch chore/notify-attention-hook, UNMERGED.
+- Pre-existing model switch opus[1m] committed separately on same branch.
+
+## 2026-09-03
+- Attention signal completed + verified end-to-end. Two client faults isolated ([[BLK-020]] resolved): ext instruments only terminals born AFTER activation (re-attach via `dtach -a`, no session loss); Code app volume 0 in Windows mixer killed bell while Windows-emitted toast sound masked it.
+- Coverage gap found + closed: `Notification` matcher covers input-needed only, turn-end had no event. `Stop` wired on same script, branches on `.hook_event_name` ([[BDR-087]], [[LRN-146]]). Verified live: turn-end + AskUserQuestion ring; `permission_prompt` unexercisable under `defaultMode: auto`.
+- BDR-087 + LRN-146 + BLK-020 capitalized. Branch feature/notify-stop-event, merged to develop (f90ee74).
+- Post-merge regression: toast dead again after re-attach from a RESTORED terminal, bell fine. Root cause [[LRN-147]]: ext hooks only terminals born after its activation; `enablePersistentSessions` restores terminals before it. Fix = disable persistent sessions, or fresh terminal + `dtach -a`. Verified: 3/3 toasts on fresh pty.
+- Same-day counter-example broke that cause: second session's terminal deaf though created LATER, same window, ext global, shells identical. Trigger unknown; [[LRN-148]] adds the 5s pre-flight test + demotes LRN-147's mechanism claim.
+- Attention signal refined: per-event labels (BDR-087 follow-on), silence on non-attention events, and no turn-end signal while `background_tasks` non-empty ([[LRN-149]]). Payload dump beat the docs: `background_tasks` undocumented for Stop but present on the wire. Branch bugfix/notify-subagent-spawn.

+~/.claude/settings.json is a SYMLINK to the repo settings.json; Claude Code hot-reloads settings on change → the config-protection PreToolUse hook's active/inactive state tracks the CURRENT branch's settings.json. On feature/drop-config-protection (hook deregistered) a protected edit passed silently, sentinel unconsumed; after gitflow-switch to a branch off develop (hook still registered) the SAME class of edit was blocked. Apply: a change that removes a settings-registered hook is live only on that branch until merged; use the one-shot sentinel for protected edits on any branch that still registers it. ([[BDR-074]] context.)
+
+## LRN-137 — mode-based re-tiering beats file splits for mixed-tier agents
+- **pattern**: three planned agent splits (doc-syncer, handover-doc-writer, seo/geo analyzers) shipped as MODES + per-dispatch `model=` instead of new files; only plugin-probe justified a real new file (genuinely new role, no shared body).
+- **why**: a file split severs implicit data paths (LRN-126), relocates body-text test locks (seo-data fetch-wiring), breaks name/dispatch-string census locks, duplicates templates. A mode split keeps ALL locks and text in place; the dispatcher's gate sits BETWEEN mode dispatches; call-site `model=` precedence over the frontmatter pin is spike-proven (sonnet-pinned verifier ran haiku on override).
+- **fail-safe pin rule**: keep the HIGHEST tier as the frontmatter pin and override DOWN at call sites — a forgotten override then over-tiers (costs money) instead of silently downgrading judgment (costs correctness).
+- **future application**: before splitting any agent across model tiers, try MODE + `model=` first; create a new agent file only for a genuinely new role. Run-scoped `.audit/<name>-<RUNID>` files + completeness sentinel + fail-closed consumer for any cross-dispatch artifact.
+- **cousin**: [[LRN-125]] [[LRN-126]] [[BDR-077]].
+
+## LRN-138 — gitignore ≠ delete for run-time artifacts read from disk (2026-07-22)
+- **pattern**: gitignore is the WRONG tool for an artifact a pipeline READS FROM DISK during a run — it blocks the commit but leaves the file (cleans nothing) AND breaks git-travel flows (superpowers commits the spec via `git add` so it reaches the SDD worktree; a gitignored path is silently skipped w/o `-f`). Right tool = commit-during-run + AUTO-DELETE at the integration boundary (`gitflow finish`, pre-merge, on the working branch → history keeps the archive, develop tip clean).
+- **context**: user asked to gitignore transient planning artifacts (`docs/superpowers/{specs,plans}`, `.claude/tasks/{contracts,plans}`) to stop them merging. BDR-065 had already REJECTED gitignore for docs/superpowers on the git-travel ground; the real gap was the DELETE side never being coded (doctrine-only manual chore, slipped once — 655e364). Built `_gitflow_purge_transient`.
+- **future application**: "don't merge transient X" → ask: does the run read X from disk? does X travel via git (worktree, foreign checkout)? Yes → auto-purge at finish, not gitignore. Scoped commit `-- <paths>` avoids sweeping a dirty index; `git diff --quiet HEAD -- paths` precheck makes `git rm` all-or-nothing safe; keep the purge best-effort so cleanup NEVER blocks a merge. Prove archive-reachability with `git log --full-history` / `git show <sha>:path` — plain `git log -- path` prunes the purged add-commit via history simplification (bit me writing T17).

+
+## LRN-139 — model-trait compensations invert across generations; state WHEN-guidance, not direction (2026-07-30)
+- **pattern**: config rules that COMPENSATE a model trait become counter-productive when the next generation inverts the trait. LRN-030 (Opus 4.8 under-delegates → "Default to delegation… counters under-delegation") inverted by Opus 5 (delegates MORE readily, official guide) — the rule pushed the failure the model now has. Same class: explicit verify instructions → over-verification; conservative-reporting clauses → literal recall suppression; MUST/CRITICAL → over-triggering.
+- **Opus 5 traps found**: (a) Claude Code injects Opus-5-only anti-delegation prompt sections (heron_brook + subagent_steer_delegation, issue #80988; server-gated, no opt-out, absent from transcripts) — own prose stacks on top blindly; (b) NO model-default effort hold on Opus 5 — persisted effortLevel (xhigh, settings.json) silently carries over, against "start high, sweep low/medium"; run /effort sweep per model; (c) effort does NOT shorten visible output/deliverables — only prose length rules do (+30-40% docs).
+- **future application**: at every model-generation bump, grep config for trait-compensating language ("counters model tendency…", "default to X") and re-verify the premise; prefer WHEN-guidance (conditions where X pays) over directional nudges — survives inversions unchanged.

+
+## LRN-140 — de-prescription findings: dedup evaporates, self-verify is default, recall survives (2026-08-02)
+- **pattern 1 — inventory dedup counts lie**: line-level inspection killed most "duplicate" pairs (seo 9 families→2 real merges; geo 7→0). Twins differ by AUDIENCE (bundle-item payload read by fresh applier vs spec rule) or MODE-RANGE (collect/judge/template/RULES) or are distinct obligations sharing a keyword (30/70 ×3 = three different rules). Dedup rule that survives: verbatim + same-audience + same-range ONLY.
+- **pattern 2 — Opus 5 self-verifies unprompted**: "run it twice" instruction REMOVED → after-judge still ran score engine twice, identical output. Removing verify-prose does not remove the behavior; its value = no compounding, no contradiction burn. Confirms BDR-081 E3 mechanism, refines the payoff claim.
+- **pattern 3 — de-prescription does NOT depress recall**: reworded collect caught &nbsp;-encoded phone AT COLLECT (baseline collect missed it); reworded judge found new RGPD finding + self-caught false positive + corrected collect coverage claim 21/21→20/21. Integrity/honesty invariants (kept class B) carry the discipline, not the caps.
+- **pattern 4 — lock strings, never shapes**: LLM-convention output layers (banners, fences, table columns, section order) wobble run-to-run in BOTH directions — baseline itself deviated from spec where after conformed (§0 ENTRIES, BUNDLE-before-SCORING). Stable contract = census-locked literal strings; anything unlocked drifts and MUST be tolerated by consumers (tier recognition "by intent" is the right pattern).

+## LRN-141 — adopting an external skill: take the invariants, refuse the machinery (2026-08-24)
+Context: unlazy import ([[BDR-083]]). Pattern: an external skill's MACHINERY encodes ITS threat model and ITS doctrine; only its INVARIANTS transfer. Two clean cases from one repo. (1) Approval store binding PATH/shell/platform exists because unlazy executes ledgers INHERITED from untrusted repos — importing it into a config that authors its own ledgers buys per-command approval prompts and closes zero threat. (2) Stop hook returning `decision:"block"` exists because unlazy has no human gate — importing it into a config whose spine is "STOP + escalate to human" would make the tooling fight the doctrine. Meanwhile the invariants (exit 0 AND marker; evidence persisted so the next reader gets fact not report; impossible ≠ deletable) cost ~250 l of our own bash and fit the EXISTING contract with no new tree.
+Separating test: ask WHAT THREAT / WHAT DOCTRINE does this piece assume. Answer "theirs" → refuse the piece, keep the invariant it was protecting.
+Corollary on claims: unlazy's own research/validation-protocol.md RETRACTS its v1 benchmark numbers as unreproducible while the repo DESCRIPTION still advertises them. Read a project's self-criticism before its README — the retraction is the credibility signal, the headline is not.
+Future application: any skill/plugin adoption — skills-external/, /plugin-check, install-plugins.sh.
+
+## LRN-142 — structure locks are fixed-string: reflowing a doctrine paragraph reds them (2026-08-24)
+Context: contract-gates ([[BDR-083]]). Editing lib/verify-secure-loop.md rewrapped 5 locked phrases across line breaks ("Max 3 conformity iterations", "Max 3 security iterations", "re-verify the REQUEST first", "always re-checked BEFORE security", "one verifier dispatch + one security dispatch") → loops-light.test.sh 30 pass / 5 fail, though ZERO doctrine was dropped. Locks did their job: they cannot distinguish "clause deleted" from "clause rewrapped", and that conservative bias is correct — the alternative (fuzzy matching) would miss real deletions.
+Rule: when editing a doctrine file under structure locks, grep the test's lock strings FIRST, then re-flow AROUND them — each locked phrase stays on one unbroken line. Fix the DOC, not the lock, unless the doctrine genuinely changed. Under locks today: verify-secure-loop.md, contract-interview.md, verifier / security-auditor / plan-challenger agents, seo+geo (71 locks).
+
+## LRN-143 — pipe to head masks grep exit; `|| fallback` never fires
+- **Context**: darwin 2026-08-26 — plugin-probe FRAMEWORK-DEPS (`grep … | head || echo none`) emitted silent-empty on no-match; same bug in run's own probe test.
+- **Pattern**: pipeline rc = LAST command's (head = 0 always). `|| fallback` after pipe = dead code. Bounded output → drop head; else `set -o pipefail` or capture + test.
+- **Future**: any skill/agent bash probe with a `||` fallback: check what the pipeline rc actually is first.
+
+## LRN-144 — census locks grep EXACT single-line phrases; prose rewrap breaks them
+- **Context**: darwin 2026-08-26 — hotfix RULES rewrap split "No verifier is dispatched at hotfix weight"; loops-light.test.sh lock RED; make test caught post-edit.
+- **Pattern**: lib/tests/*.test.sh lock sentences verbatim, single-line. Rewording/rewrapping skill+agent md near locked phrases silently breaks census.
+- **Future**: before editing skill/agent prose, grep lib/tests/ for locks in the touched region; run make test BEFORE dispatching judges, not after.
+
+## LRN-145 — hooks reach the terminal only via terminalSequence JSON field
+- **Context**: 2026-09-01 — attention bell for VS Code Remote-SSH (CLI on remote Linux). Hook subprocess has no controlling TTY; /dev/tty unreliable. Docs: terminalSequence = supported side-effect field, fires even on events that discard output.
+- **Pattern**: Notification hook → stdout JSON `{suppressOutput:true, terminalSequence:"<BELx2><OSC 777 notify><ST>"}`. VS Code terminal ignores OSC 777/9 natively (claude-code #28338); client-side ext wenbopan.vscode-terminal-osc-notifier converts to native toast over Remote-SSH; beep needs accessibility.signals.terminalBell sound:on. permission_prompt fires ~6s late, idle_prompt ~60s.
+- **Future**: any hook ringing/notifying the terminal (bell, toast, title) — terminalSequence, never /dev/tty. Input-needed matcher set: permission_prompt|idle_prompt|agent_needs_input|elicitation_dialog|elicitation_url_dialog.
+
+## LRN-146 — Notification event alone misses end-of-turn; Stop is the missing event
+- **Context**: 2026-09-03 — attention signal verified end-to-end after [[BLK-020]]. Matcher `permission_prompt|idle_prompt|agent_needs_input|elicitation_*` covers input-needed cases ONLY. "Claude finished speaking" has no notification_type — nearest was `idle_prompt`, ~60s late. Gap invisible until explicitly enumerated by user.
+- **Pattern**: wire SAME hook script on TWO events — `Notification` (matcher = input-needed set) + `Stop` (fires once per turn end, supports terminalSequence, no matcher). Script branches on `.hook_event_name` when `.message`/`.notification_type` absent: Stop → "Claude has finished responding", else default. Read stdin ONCE into var, jq the var (stdin not re-readable).
+- **Verified**: turn-end bip+toast OK, AskUserQuestion selector bip+toast OK. `permission_prompt` NOT exercisable under `defaultMode: auto` — ask-rules (`python3 -c *`, `curl`…) auto-approved, no prompt raised. Hooks hot-reloaded by file watcher, no restart.
+- **Future**: enumerate the events a signal must cover BEFORE wiring, one per user-visible moment. Notification ≠ lifecycle-complete. SubagentStop exists too for agent completion.
+
+## LRN-147 — VS Code restores terminals BEFORE ext activation → toast dies every restart
+- **Context**: 2026-09-03, second hit same day. Bell OK, toast gone, after user re-attached session from a restored terminal. Probe on that pty: OSC 777 unique + OSC 777 repeated + OSC 9 → all three silent, while BEL rang. Same pty, bell works ⇒ bytes arrive, ext just not hooked to that terminal.
+- **Pattern**: `wenbopan.vscode-terminal-osc-notifier` instruments a terminal only if it exists AFTER ext activation. `terminal.integrated.enablePersistentSessions` (default true) restores terminals at window startup, i.e. BEFORE lazy ext activation → every restored terminal is permanently deaf to OSC. Recurs at each VS Code restart, silently, bell still ringing so it reads as "half broken".
+- **Fix**: client setting `"terminal.integrated.enablePersistentSessions": false` → no terminal pre-exists activation. Fallback without it: after VS Code start, open a FRESH terminal then `dtach -a ~/.dtach/<session>` (dtach broadcasts, old client can stay or be closed, session never lost).
+- **Diagnostic shortcut**: bell rings + toast dead on the SAME pty = terminal-instrumentation fault, not audio, not hook, not server. Bell dead + toast alive = audio fault ([[BLK-020]] fault B). The two channels split the search space; check which one survives before anything else.
+- **Future**: any client-side terminal-parsing ext over Remote-SSH inherits this. Verify instrumentation on the ACTUAL attached pty after every restart, never assume yesterday's terminal.
+
+## LRN-148 — terminal instrumentation is per-terminal + unpredictable; pre-flight test before attaching
+- **Refines**: [[LRN-147]] blamed restored-terminals-born-before-activation. Too narrow — counter-example same day: two terminals SAME VS Code window, pts/3 (born 01:58:33) instrumented, pts/7 (born 01:59:29, LATER) deaf. Ext is GLOBAL (marketplace: Enable/Disable pause parsing extension-wide, no per-terminal setting), shells identical on every server-side measurable: `VSCODE_INJECTION=1`, TERM, TERM_PROGRAM, same `--init-file` shell-integration path, ~2-3s between shell start and dtach. Trigger NOT identified.
+- **Pattern**: treat instrumentation as a per-terminal property that can silently fail for unknown reasons. Cheap pre-flight before committing a long-lived session to a terminal: `printf '\a\a\033]777;notify;NEUF;test\033\\'` typed IN that terminal. Toast → instrumented, attach. Bell only → deaf terminal, open another. Costs 5s, replaces an hour of pty archaeology.
+- **Recovery**: deaf terminal never repairs. Open fresh terminal, pre-flight it, `dtach -a ~/.dtach/<session>`. dtach broadcasts, so old client may stay attached; session never at risk.
+- **Diagnostic split (holds)**: bell alive + toast dead = terminal instrumentation. Toast alive + bell dead = client audio ([[BLK-020]]). Neither = bytes never arrive.
+- **Future**: do NOT assert the born-before-activation cause as established — it fits the first incident, not the second. Unknown trigger is the honest state.
+
+## LRN-149 — Stop hook payload carries background_tasks; use it to skip premature signals
+- **Context**: 2026-09-03. User: "notif à la création d'un sous-agent alors qu'il faudrait pas". Instrumented hook, ran probe subagents: NEITHER subagent creation NOR completion calls the hook. Only event = `Stop`, fired when the turn ends right after spawning. Signal was real but LIED ("Finished responding" while work continued).
+- **Pattern**: dump the real payload (`printf '%s' "$payload" >> file.jsonl`) instead of trusting docs — docs list Stop fields without `background_tasks`, the wire has it: `[{"id","type":"subagent","status":"running","description","agent_type"}]`. Rule: on Stop, `(.background_tasks // []) | length` > 0 → exit 0 silent. Next turn end signals for real. Interaction events (permission/question) always signal, background or not.
+- **Fail-open**: field absent (older client) → still signal. Missed notification worse than extra one.
+- **Cross-session gotcha**: hook is user-scope, so EVERY session runs it. A single-file dump (`> file`) gets overwritten by another project's session — append JSONL and filter on `.cwd`. That accident proved `permission_prompt` fires with `message="Claude needs your permission"` (unexercisable in this session under `defaultMode: auto`).
+- **Future**: any hook needing turn-completion semantics must check background_tasks; "turn ended" ≠ "work done". Verified live: Stop with 0 tasks signals, Stop with 1 running subagent silent.

+# ANALYSIS: model-tiering v2 — Fable = orchestration + plan/solution reflection only; dispatched fleet tiered opus/sonnet/haiku by task complexity; split mixed-tier agents
+
+Produced by /analyze (main loop, Fable) + 4 subagent sweeps (2× agent-body
+classification, dispatch map, test-lock inventory), 2026-07-19. Facts verified
+against: model-routing.test.sh, challenge-plan.md, verify-secure-loop.md,
+model-gate.md, BDR-050/061/066/076, LRN-113/125/126 (read in full inline).
+Subagent-reported details not re-verified inline are marked (sub) — LRN-132
+applies: re-verify load-bearing ones before cutting code.
+
+## CONTEXT
+
+- Current state (branch `feature/opus-pin-audit-agents`, 2 commits, UNMERGED):
+  main loop = session model (Fable; model-gate blocks small models in 15
+  reflection skills). Dispatched pins: opus = analyzer, plan-challenger,
+  seo-analyzer, geo-analyzer, validator-analyzer (BDR-076); sonnet = 14
+  executors; haiku = status-reporter. Unpinned = interviewer,
+  client-handover-writer (inline-load only).
+- Two execution modes with OPPOSITE tier semantics: Agent() dispatch →
+  frontmatter pin applies; inline-load ("you become it") → pin INERT, runs on
+  session model. 20 inline-load sites exist.
+- Target policy (user directive): Fable does ONLY main-loop orchestration +
+  reflection on plan/solution. Everything dispatched runs opus (deep judgment)
+  / sonnet (standard execution) / haiku (mechanical) by ACTUAL task
+  complexity. Agents mixing classes get split. Skills adapted. Zero loss, zero
+  regression.
+
+## KEY COMPONENTS — per-agent verdict vs target
+
+### Fits, no change
+| agent | tier | note |
+|---|---|---|
+| plan-challenger | opus | coherent monolith; verdict grammar + PROOF load-bearing |
+| feater / bugfixer / hotfixer | sonnet | closed-plan executors; NEED-DECISION / BLOCKED valves |
+| security-auditor | sonnet | deterministic SAST gate; `SECURITY — VERDICT:` grammar |
+| scaffolder | sonnet (effort: high) | but see INERT-PIN below — never dispatched today |
+| status-reporter | haiku | exemplar mechanical |
+| client-handover-writer | none (inline orchestrator) | one haiku-able seam: STEP 1-2 git/context preflight |
+| interviewer | none (inline) | INTERACTIVE — asks user inline; a dispatched agent cannot ask (uniform ban). Structurally main-loop. |
+
+### Tier-down candidates (no split)
+| agent | current → candidate | evidence |
+|---|---|---|
+| validator-analyzer | opus → sonnet | NOT mixed: runs external validators (authoritative), fixed severity tables, base-100 deduction scoring, allowlist-driven fix bundle; ambiguity punted to user §6. No deep judgment present. (sub) |
+| onboarder | sonnet → haiku candidate | template-fill + conditional writes; only light stack-block filtering. (sub) Also inert-pin today. |
+| release-executor | sonnet (keep, borderline) | mostly script runs + CHANGELOG templating, but carries a NEED-DECISION judgment valve (MAJOR-bump wording). (sub) |
+
+### Split candidates (mixed classes inside one body)
+| agent | geometry (factual boundary) | complication |
+|---|---|---|
+| seo-analyzer | collection (STEP 2-5 curls/CWV/GSC/greps → haiku-class) / judgment (STEP 6-11 sampling, competitive, scoring, triage → opus) / templating (STEP 12-14 bundle+report → sonnet/haiku) | BDR-061: no Agent tool in analyzers (single-dispatch doctrine) → a split must be ORCHESTRATED BY THE SKILL at L1 with disk handoffs, or BDR-061 revised (nesting works ≥2.1.172 per BDR-060, but version-robust-by-design was chosen). seo-data.test.sh locks `fetch.sh` wiring strings IN the agent body (6 locks). STEP 1-2 context feeds every later step → large LRN-126 contract surface. |
+| geo-analyzer | identical 3-way geometry | same complications; shares severity vocab + sentinel |
+| commit-changer | MODE propose (narrative reconstruction + capitalize routing = deep) / MODE apply (stage+commit = mechanical) — boundary ALREADY exists as dispatch modes | 2 dispatch sites in /commit-change; per-dispatch `model=` override is an available lighter mechanism than a file split |
+| doc-syncer | drift detection + semantic doc-type analysis + MINOR/SIGNIFICANT calls (deep) / discovery + template render + PATCHED_FILES emit (mechanical) | 9 consumers on BOTH modes: dispatched ×2 (/doc, onboard) + inline-load ×7 (bugfix, hotfix, feat, init-project ×2, ship-feature, scaffolder) — LRN-125 dual-use-across-tiers hazard; runs its own user validation gate (STEP 8) → gate must be hoisted before any dispatch conversion |
+| handover-doc-writer | synthesis/vulgarization STEP 10-12 (deep) / render+deterministic gates STEP 13-16 (mechanical) | skill-leak ban list + `HANDOVER-DOC REPORT` grammar must survive |
+| plugin-advisor | detection PHASE 1 (mechanical) / complexity scoring + decision-table reasoning PHASE 2.5 (deep) | INERT PIN: inline-loaded ×4 (plugin-check, onboard, init-project, ship-feature), NEVER dispatched — sonnet pin is dead config; PHASE 4 asks the user (inline-only capability) |
+| verifier | STEP 2 evidence adjudication = deep judgment inside a sonnet procedural gate | BDR-066 kept sonnet DELIBERATELY (oracle-anchored to contract, ≤3×/loop). Tier-up = design arbitrage, not a mechanical fix. contract-verifier.test.sh locks name/tools/body (33 asserts). |
+
+### INERT-PIN finding (structural gap vs target)
+scaffolder, onboarder, plugin-advisor are pinned sonnet but NEVER dispatched —
+inline-load only → they run on Fable today. doc-syncer's doc-commit steps
+(bugfix/hotfix/feat/init-project/ship-feature/scaffolder) also run inline on
+Fable. Under the target policy these are EXECUTION tasks burning Fable — a
+bigger real gap than any pin value. Each inline→dispatch conversion must hoist
+its user gates into the dispatcher first (dispatched agents cannot ask).
+
+## CONSUMER MAP (summary; full tables in the dispatch-map sweep)
+
+- ~50 Agent() dispatch sites across 20 skills + 2 lib includes +
+  client-handover-writer (9 internal dispatches, incl. skills-via-general-purpose).
+- 20 inline-load sites (7× doc-syncer, 4× plugin-advisor, 3× analyzer, 2×
+  interviewer, 1× each onboarder/scaffolder/client-handover-writer/refactorer).
+- Includes: model-gate.md ×15 skills (+5 locked EXCLUDED), challenge-plan.md
+  ×12, verify-secure-loop.md ×5, contract-interview ×5, capitalize-commit ×6,
+  doc-commit ×6.
+- ~30 prose refs claim current tiers (sonnet-pinned X, opus-pinned Y, BDR-066/
+  BDR-076 citations) → all go stale on tier changes (LRN-113 sweep required).
+- Only onboard uses explicit `model="opus"` dispatch params (7 sites); every
+  typed agent relies on frontmatter pin; ship-feature/init-project mandate
+  `model: "sonnet"` on SDD subagents by prose.
+
+## CONSTRAINTS (zero-loss bar)
+
+1. Verbatim machine-parsed grammars must survive verbatim: `VERIFY — VERDICT:
+   CONFORME | ECARTS(n) | ERROR(<reason>)`, `SECURITY — VERDICT: PASS |
+   BLOCK(n) | ERROR(<reason>)`, `CHALLENGE — LENS: … — VERDICT: SOLID |
+   CONCERNS(n) | FATAL(n)`, mandatory `PROOF:` lines, sentinel `READY TO APPLY
+   — awaiting dispatcher confirmation`, `<NAME>-EXEC REPORT` + `STATUS : DONE
+   | NEED-DECISION | BLOCKED`, `PATCHED_FILES:`, `COMMIT PLAN`, labeled score
+   lines parsed by client-handover extractors, `HANDOVER-DOC REPORT`.
+2. BDR-050 + LRN-083: loops + decisions live in the MAIN loop; gates dispatched
+   fresh, blind, zero iteration history. Splits must not move loop decisions
+   into children.
+3. BDR-061: seo/geo/validator have no Agent tool by doctrine (version-robust
+   single dispatch level). Any intra-audit split is skill-orchestrated at L1
+   unless BDR-061 is explicitly revised.
+4. LRN-126: every implicit data path (ARGUMENTS flags, detected vars, STEP-N
+   side outputs) must cross the new handoff contracts explicitly; census-style
+   tests will NOT catch severed wires — a data-flow read per split is required.
+5. LRN-125: no dual-use agent across tiers; audit consumer routes to the
+   judgment agent, execution consumer to the executor.
+6. Interactivity: dispatched agents cannot ask the user. All human gates
+   (AskUserQuestion / inline approval) stay in main loop or inline-loaded
+   orchestrators. doc-syncer STEP 8 + plugin-advisor PHASE 4 gates must be
+   hoisted before dispatch conversion.
+7. Test locks (fire on this refactor): model-routing (~61, epicenter — pins,
+   dispatch strings, gate wiring loops, `model="opus"` literals, BDR-076 token),
+   plan-challenger (~43 — frontmatter, grammar, challenge-plan doctrine
+   sentences incl. BDR-066 token), loops-light (40 — verify-secure-loop 10
+   sentences, sonnet pins, report grammars, "Agent" ABSENT from
+   bugfixer/hotfixer — substring-fragile), contract-verifier (33),
+   security-auditor (31), seo-data (6 body-wiring locks on seo/geo bodies),
+   loops-heavy (19 skill prose), review-guards G3 (strict YAML on every agent
+   file incl. new ones), no-vacuous-locks (no `\n` in new lock patterns —
+   LRN-093), model-check (10 — tier vocabulary big/small; a new tier taxonomy
+   must co-evolve witness + test). Census `for`-loops (model-routing:13-19,
+   plan-challenger:42) must be edited for any new/renamed gated skill.
+8. model-gate.md prose has NO deterministic lock (include-path only) — free to
+   rewrite, but behavioral-only verification.
+9. Gitflow: feature branch(es) via gitflow.sh; no merge without human signal.
+   Unmerged branches in flight: `feature/opus-pin-audit-agents` (this refactor
+   supersedes/absorbs it), `bugfix/seo-geo-integrity` (10 commits touching the
+   seo surface → sequencing/conflict risk with a seo-analyzer split).
+10. BDR-076 survival: opus tier for judgment agents survives as baseline;
+    validator-analyzer's opus pin would be superseded (tier-down); seo/geo pins
+    refined by splits; challenge-plan/plan-challenger doctrine text + census
+    §11 rewritten again.
+
+## RISKS
+
+- Severed implicit data paths on splits (LRN-126 precedent: 2 silent input
+  losses caught only by whole-branch review) — probability: HIGH without a
+  per-split data-flow pass.
+- Consumer staleness (LRN-113): ~30 prose refs + 9 identical gate preambles +
+  2 census loops — partial sweep leaves contradictory doctrine — probability:
+  HIGH without whole-surface grep + new guards.
+- Lost human gates on inline→dispatch conversions (doc-syncer STEP 8,
+  plugin-advisor PHASE 4) — probability: MEDIUM-HIGH; hoist-first pattern
+  exists (BDR-066 wave 4 did exactly this for client-handover).
+- Census under-coverage: NEW agent files are silently unlocked unless
+  model-routing/census extended per agent (worse than a red) — MEDIUM.
+- haiku reliability on long tool chains (seo/geo collection legs: GSC, CWV,
+  curl loops, retry policies): only haiku precedent is status-reporter
+  (short, deterministic) — MEDIUM; unproven.
+- Split overhead: 3-dispatch audit pipeline re-serializes STEP 1-2 context per
+  child; latency + token duplication vs today's monolith — MEDIUM.
+- Merge sequencing with `bugfix/seo-geo-integrity` (10 commits on seo surface)
+  — MEDIUM.
+- Subagent-report trust (LRN-132): (sub)-marked classifications need spot
+  re-verification during design — MEDIUM.
+
+## OPEN QUESTIONS (design arbitrage needed)
+
+1. verifier: keep sonnet (BDR-066 oracle-anchored rationale) or lift to opus
+   (STEP 2 adjudication is the correctness gate)?
+2. seo/geo split mechanics: skill-orchestrated L1 pipeline (BDR-061-compatible)
+   vs nested dispatch inside the analyzer (requires revising BDR-061;
+   version floor OK per BDR-060)?
+3. Which inline-loads convert to dispatches (scaffolder, onboarder, doc-syncer
+   doc-commit steps, plugin-advisor detection) vs stay inline as reflection?
+4. commit-changer: file split vs per-mode `model=` override at the 2 existing
+   dispatch sites?
+5. haiku scope: which mechanical halves actually go haiku vs sonnet, given the
+   reliability unknown on long tool chains?
+6. Gate taxonomy: keep binary big/small model-gate (guards main loop only) or
+   extend model-check.sh to the full 4-tier vocabulary?
+7. Sequencing: land/absorb `feature/opus-pin-audit-agents` and
+   `bugfix/seo-geo-integrity` before or during this refactor?
+
+## DESIGN AMENDMENT (2026-07-19, user arbitrage — supersedes open questions)
+
+User approved all 7 recommendations, PLUS one addition:
+
+**No-inherit rule + fable pins.** No dispatched agent may inherit the session
+model anywhere. Every dispatch site carries an explicit tier: typed agents via
+frontmatter pin (`model: fable|opus|sonnet|haiku`), built-ins
+(general-purpose / Explore / Plan) via a `model=` param at EVERY call site.
+Rationale: sessions may run on another model (gate admits Opus; user may
+launch anything) — inheritance would silently mis-tier dispatched work.
+`model="fable"` lands where a dispatched child performs REFLECTION /
+ORCHESTRATION on behalf of the main loop:
+- client-handover-writer's 8 internal general-purpose skill-runner dispatches
+  (/seo, /harden, /cso, /commit-change, /web-validate runs) — today they
+  inherit; they host gated orchestration → `model="fable"`.
+- Doctrine line (model-gate.md or routing doctrine): ad-hoc reflection
+  dispatches from the main loop (Explore digest, Plan, general-purpose) carry
+  `model="fable"`; non-reflection ad-hoc dispatches carry their complexity
+  tier. New census locks accordingly.
+- No TYPED agent moves to fable tier (plan-challenger/analyzer stay opus per
+  approved verdicts). Inline-loads that remain (interviewer,
+  client-handover-writer, analyzer-in-/analyze + DEBUG, init STEP 2) ARE the
+  main loop — covered by model-gate, not pins.
+- External/gstack skills with inheriting general-purpose dispatches
+  (design-shotgun, review, graphify) — external ownership (BDR-015 class):
+  covered by doctrine, not edited, unless owned locally. Verify ownership at
+  implementation.

+
+Input: `.claude/tasks/plans/2026-07-19-model-tiering-v2-analysis.md` (read it
+first — consumer map, test locks, LRN/BDR constraints live there).
+User arbitrage (2026-07-19): 7 recos approved + no-inherit/fable-pin amendment
++ Fable scope = REFLECTION / ORCHESTRATION / PLANNING / LOGIC only.
+
+## D0 — DOCTRINE (end state)
+
+1. Main loop (session model, gated big by model-gate) keeps ONLY: brainstorm,
+   plan, contract, loop decisions, gate arbitration, human interaction,
+   conversation-context work (capitalize), trivial glue bash (<~1k tokens).
+   Retention criteria (any suffices): interactive | needs conversation context
+   | orchestration decision | dispatch overhead > step cost.
+2. NOTHING dispatched inherits. Typed agents: frontmatter pin. Built-ins
+   (general-purpose/Explore/Plan): explicit `model=` at EVERY call site.
+   VERIFIED (2026-07-19 spike, closes robustness BLOCKER): `model: "fable"`
+   on a dispatch resolves to claude-fable-5 at runtime (echo spike via
+   general-purpose); the harness enum-validates the `model` param — an
+   invalid value fails LOUDLY (InputValidationError), no silent fallback.
+   Call-site `model=` takes precedence over a typed agent's frontmatter pin
+   (documented Agent-tool contract); fallback direction if a call site omits
+   it = the frontmatter pin, i.e. today's behavior — fail-safe, never worse.
+3. Tiers: fable = dispatched reflection-on-behalf-of-main-loop (skill-runner
+   children ONLY); opus = deep judgment (audit scoring, plan critique, drift
+   semantics, review, synthesis); sonnet = standard execution from closed
+   instructions + collectors AND probes (wave-1 prudence — robustness MAJOR:
+   plugin PHASE 1 is a ~26-call branching bash chain, not a short probe);
+   haiku = status-reporter ONLY in wave 1; haiku expansion = wave 2 after
+   reliability proven per candidate.
+4. Grammars/sentinels/valves survive VERBATIM (list in analysis §CONSTRAINTS).
+   Loops/gates stay in main loop (BDR-050/LRN-083). Fix-bundle → L1 apply
+   (BDR-061) preserved: audit agents never get the Agent tool.
+5. Every split: LRN-126 data-flow pass (enumerate child-read fields vs
+   parent-set; explicit handoff contract on disk or in prompt) PLUS an
+   IN-WAVE planted-input smoke proving the fields cross the dispatch boundary
+   at runtime — the smoke GATES that wave's merge (confirmation MAJOR:
+   enumeration is design-time reading; census can't catch severed wires; a
+   split must never reach develop empirically unproven). Every change:
+   LRN-113 whole-surface sweep + census lock + flip-test (LRN-096, no `\n` in
+   patterns LRN-093, strict YAML G3).
+
+## D1 — AGENT END STATE
+
+Pins (frontmatter):
+- opus: analyzer, plan-challenger, seo-judge*, geo-judge*, doc-auditor*,
+  plugin-reasoner*, handover-synthesizer* (*new, from splits)
+- sonnet: feater, bugfixer, hotfixer, code-cleaner, refactorer, verifier,
+  security-auditor, scaffolder (effort high), onboarder, release-executor,
+  commit-changer, doc-syncer (patcher half), validator-analyzer (TIER-DOWN
+  from opus), seo-worker*, geo-worker* (2-way split per domain — simplicity
+  MAJOR: collector+templater both sonnet in wave 1 → one worker file with
+  `MODE: collect | template`, no cross-domain share: domain bodies genuinely
+  diverge), handover-renderer* (renamed handover-doc-writer render half),
+  plugin-probe* (wave-1 prudence; haiku candidate wave 2)
+- haiku: status-reporter (only)
+- none (inline-only, main loop, gate-protected): interviewer,
+  client-handover-writer
+Per-dispatch `model=` overrides (no new file): commit-changer propose=opus /
+apply=sonnet (2 sites in /commit-change — precedence over the sonnet
+frontmatter pin is the documented Agent-tool contract, verified direction
+D0.2; the pin stays as the no-inherit fallback = today's behavior; both
+call-site strings census-locked + W3 behavioral smoke); SDD
+implementers+reviewers
+sonnet (already prose-mandated → make it a census lock); code-review steps
+(ship-feature 6, init-project 10) = opus explicit; client-handover-writer's 8
+general-purpose skill-runners = fable; onboard's 7 general-purpose = opus
+(keep); any Explore/Plan ad-hoc reflection dispatch = fable (doctrine line in
+model-gate.md + CLAUDE.global routing note).
+
+Splits (each = new agent file(s) + handoff contract + census + consumers):
+S1 plugin-advisor → plugin-probe (SONNET wave 1; PHASE 1 CLI probes → PROBE
+   REPORT) + plugin-reasoner (opus; PHASE 2/2.5 scoring + reco → PLUGIN CHECK
+   block). PHASE 3-4 report+apply-gate HOISTED into ONE shared include
+   `lib/plugin-gate.md` (simplicity MINOR — doc-commit.md ×6 pattern, never
+   4 hand-copies), referenced by the 4 consumers (plugin-check, onboard
+   STEP 0, init-project STEP 0, ship-feature STEP 0) — main loop. The
+   pre-recommendation validation checkpoint (advisor :201-212, straddles the
+   seam, can skip PHASE 4) runs IN THE CONSUMER between the two dispatches
+   (correctness MINOR); its inputs (toggle-external availability,
+   project-signal presence) are PROBE REPORT fields. Handoff: PROBE REPORT
+   fields = plugin list, toggle state, profile, CLI/anim/monorepo/embedded
+   signals + checkpoint inputs (enumerate ALL PHASE-2-read fields).
+S2 doc-syncer → doc-auditor (opus; STEP 3-4 drift + semantic analysis + A3
+   MINOR/SIGNIFICANT call w/ doc-shape.sh oracle → DRIFT REPORT [AUTO]/
+   [HUMAN] items) + doc-syncer (sonnet; render/patch half, keeps
+   PATCHED_FILES: grammar + BDR-022 bans). Validation gate stays in
+   DISPATCHER (/doc skill, orchestrator steps) — auto-mode flows: auditor →
+   dispatcher applies AUTO via doc-syncer → SIGNIFICANT escalates inline.
+   Consumers rerouted: /doc, onboard, + doc-commit steps in bugfix/hotfix/
+   feat/init-project(×2)/ship-feature (inline→dispatch conversion) +
+   scaffolder PHASE 6 (scaffolder DISPATCHES nothing — it has no Agent tool:
+   README bootstrap moves to init-project STEP 5b dispatch of doc-syncer).
+   PLUS (robustness MAJOR): rework `lib/doc-commit.md`'s in-thread contract
+   BEFORE converting any doc-commit site — it requires the orchestrator to
+   "hold the patch context" to compose the rc-0 CHANGE SUMMARY (the review
+   surface that replaced the removed MINOR gate). Dispatched doc-syncer adds
+   a `CHANGE SUMMARY` block to its report grammar (per patched file: what
+   changed and why, ≤1 line each); doc-commit.md's composer consumes THAT
+   instead of in-thread context; census-locks the new field + a planted-input
+   smoke proves the summary crosses the dispatch boundary.
+S3 seo-analyzer → 2-WAY (simplicity MAJOR — 3-way was YAGNI while collector
+   and templater share the sonnet tier; commit-changer mode-precedent):
+   seo-worker (sonnet; `MODE: collect` = STEP 2-5 signals → SIGNALS file;
+   `MODE: template` = STEP 12-14 FIX BUNDLE + sentinel + SEO.md + envelope)
+   + seo-judge (opus; STEP 6-11 sampling judgment, competitive, scoring /20,
+   trajectory, triage → FINDINGS+PLAN). Orchestrated by /seo at L1 (BDR-061
+   conserved: no Agent tool in either). Wave-2 option: carve `MODE: collect`
+   into a haiku file once proven — the mode boundary IS the future cut line.
+   HANDOFF (robustness MAJOR — freshness/atomicity): run-scoped paths
+   `.audit/seo-signals-<RUNID>.md` / `.audit/geo-signals-<RUNID>.md` —
+   `.audit/` is the GITIGNORED derived-artifact tree (confirmation MINOR,
+   LRN-124: a crash-stranded transient with scraped GSC/competitor content
+   must never be committable; `.claude/audits/` keeps only the SEO.md/GEO.md
+   deliverables). RUNID minted by the dispatcher per run, passed to every
+   stage; the file ENDS with `COLLECTION COMPLETE — RUNID: <id>` and the
+   judge FAILS CLOSED (report ERROR, never score) if the file is absent,
+   RUNID mismatches, or the completeness sentinel is missing; dispatcher
+   cleans the file post-run.
+   DISPATCHER CONTRACT (confirmation MAJOR — fail-closed at the judge must
+   not fail OPEN at the pipeline): on a judge ERROR the orchestrator
+   (/seo /geo /harden /onboard) STOPS — no template dispatch, no L1 apply —
+   surfaces the ERROR verbatim, retries ONCE with a fresh collect+judge,
+   then escalates to the human. A mute or ERROR judge is NEVER carried into
+   templating (verify-secure-loop discipline). This handler is part of the
+   W5 skill rewrites, census-locked.
+   Explicit field list per LRN-126 (STEP 1-2 business+tech context consumed
+   by ALL later steps — full enumeration REQUIRED before cutting).
+   seo-data.test.sh locks (fetch.sh wiring) move with the worker body —
+   update suite same commit.
+S4 geo-analyzer → geo-worker (sonnet, 2 modes) + geo-judge (opus) — mirror of
+   S3 incl. run-scoped `.audit/geo-signals-<RUNID>.md` + the same dispatcher
+   ERROR contract. No cross-domain file share:
+   seo vs geo bodies genuinely diverge (different checks, scoring blocks,
+   envelopes) — that divergence, not LRN-125, is the reason.
+S5 handover-doc-writer → handover-synthesizer (opus; STEP 9 memory-registry
+   load + STEP 10 phase clustering + STEP 12 6-chapter synthesis — STEP 9
+   allocated here, it feeds the synthesis; correctness MINOR) +
+   handover-renderer (sonnet; STEP 13-16 annex render, precheck apply,
+   deterministic gates, HTML/PDF). client-handover-writer dispatches
+   synthesizer then renderer; PACKAGE contract split per LRN-126
+   (re-enumerate DEPLOY_HINTS/--skip-seo class fields — the EXACT prior
+   failure). W4 MUST same-commit relock model-routing.test.sh:52-55 (the
+   handover-doc-writer name + dispatch-string locks break on the rename;
+   "make test green per wave" D4 invariant — correctness MINOR).
+Tier-downs (no split): validator-analyzer opus→sonnet (deterministic
+   validators+tables). onboarder stays sonnet wave 1 (haiku candidate wave 2).
+   release-executor stays sonnet (NEED-DECISION valve).
+Verifier: STAYS sonnet (approved — oracle-anchored gate).
+
+## D2 — SKILL MAP (main loop = session model; every dispatch tier explicit)
+
+Gated reflection skills (model-gate kept, 15):
+- ship-feature / init-project: per the two example maps in the analysis file
+  (amendment section) + S1 gate hoist at STEP 0 + doc-commit conversions.
+- feat: scope/plan/contract/loop = main; challenge 3× plan-challenger opus;

+- hotfix: LOCATE + guard = main (logic); challenge opus when guard fires;
+  hotfixer sonnet; security gate sonnet (revert-not-loop conserved);
+  doc-commit as feat.
+- analyze: analyzer INLINE = main loop (it IS the reflection) — unchanged.
+- code-clean: PHASE 1 audit inline = main (audit judgment feeding a human
+  gate); code-cleaner sonnet PHASE 2 (hosts refactorer inline at SAME tier —
+  LRN-125 OK); re-audit sonnet inside executor.
+- seo / geo: skill = orchestration + GATED arbitrage (main); pipeline
+  collector sonnet → judge opus → templater sonnet (L1 serial); appliers
+  hotfixer/feater sonnet at L1; build-verify inline.
+- web-validate: validator-analyzer sonnet; hotfixer applier sonnet; loop main.
+- harden: audit dispatch follows S3 narrow-scope path (seo-judge opus on
+  harden axes w/ collector reuse); direct-Edit apply stays inline (tiny
+  scope, BDR-061 carve-out conserved).
+- audit-delta: axis audits dispatched opus (delta judgment); security-auditor
+  sonnet; fix gate + markers = main.
+- tour: orchestration main; security-auditor sonnet; cleanup audit = analyzer
+  opus (or general-purpose model="opus"); fixes via sonnet appliers; doc axis
+  → S2 pipeline; reconcile axis = deterministic bash (main).
+- onboard: onboarder DISPATCHED sonnet (was inline); plugin S1 pipeline;
+  analyzer opus; general-purpose audits model="opus" (kept); seo/geo → S3/S4
+  pipelines; security-auditor + doc pipeline as above; synthesis
+  general-purpose model="opus"; backlog arbitration = main.
+- client-handover: writer INLINE (orchestrator, main); its 8 skill-runner
+  children model="fable"; handover S5 split (synth opus → render sonnet);
+  gates all main.
+Excluded-from-gate skills (5, stay ungated): commit-change (propose opus /
+  apply sonnet via model=; approval gates main); doc (S2: auditor opus →
+  gate main → patcher sonnet); status (haiku); release-candidate (executor
+  sonnet; version/when/push decisions main); refactor (refactorer sonnet).
+Memory/util skills (capitalize, close, prune-memory, reconcile, learn,
+  profile, skills-perso, gitflow, deploy, plugin-check(S1), status): main
+  loop by nature (conversation context, human gates, deterministic bash) —
+  no dispatch changes except plugin-check S1.
+External/gstack skills (graphify, design-*, review, qa, ship, investigate…):
+  NOT edited (external ownership, BDR-015 class) — covered by doctrine line;
+  local wrapper skills only if locally owned. Verify ownership per file
+  before touching (symlink → skip).
+
+## D3 — WAVES (each = gitflow feature branch, tests green, census extended)
+
+W0 SEQUENCING: merge `feature/opus-pin-audit-agents` → develop (baseline,
+   human gate). `bugfix/seo-geo-integrity` is ALREADY MERGED (correctness
+   MAJOR — the TODO.md "UNMERGED" note was stale; verified `92301fe` is an
+   ancestor of develop AND this branch): no arbitrage, no W5 wait — one-line
+   ancestry re-check in W0 + fix the stale TODO.md entry (reconcile-class
+   correction). Absorb the analysis+plan files into the new feature branch.
+W1 NO-INHERIT ENFORCEMENT (small, high-value): code-review model= opus
+   (ship-feature 6, init-project 10); client-handover-writer 8× model="fable";
+   doctrine line in model-gate.md + census locks (`model="fable"`,
+   `model=` presence per site); SDD sonnet prose → census lock. Prose sweep
+   of stale BDR-066/076 claims touched by W1.
+W2 INLINE→DISPATCH CONVERSIONS: scaffolder (init 5 — liveness pings move to
+   orchestrator; scaffolder loses PHASE 6 inline-load → init 5b owns README
+   via S2), onboarder (onboard), doc-commit steps ×5 flows → S2 pipeline
+   (gate hoist FIRST: /doc + flows own the validation gate; doc-syncer body
+   loses its inline gate → census re-lock), S1 plugin split + gate hoist ×4
+   consumers. Data-flow pass per LRN-126 on each (fields enumerated in the
+   wave's contract file before edits).
+W3 TIER MOVES: validator-analyzer → sonnet (pin + prose + census flip);
+   commit-changer per-mode model= (2 sites + prose + census).
+W4 S5 handover split (synth opus / render sonnet) + PACKAGE re-enumeration.
+W5 S3/S4 seo/geo pipelines: worker(2-mode)/judge ×2, /seo /geo /harden
+   /onboard rerouted, seo-data.test.sh moved locks, run-scoped signals
+   handoff (RUNID + completeness sentinel + fail-closed judge),
+   envelope/sentinel/score grammars verbatim, COVERAGE lines preserved.
+W6 DOCTRINE + CLOSE-OUT: model-gate.md rewrite (protects main loop; tier
+   table; fable-dispatch doctrine), challenge-plan.md + plan-challenger
+   ORCHESTRATOR PROTOCOL text (keep BDR-066+BDR-076 tokens per census, add
+   BDR-077), census consolidation (model-routing new sections; every new
+   agent: YAML G3, pin lock, dispatch-string lock, AskUserQuestion/Agent
+   bans), LRN-113 whole-surface prose sweep (~30 refs list in analysis),
+   BDR-077 + LRN entries + journal, EVAL-023-style post-merge ronde.
+   Per-split planted-input smokes run IN their own waves (W2/W4/W5, merge
+   gates) — W6 is the consolidated ronde only, never the first empirical
+   proof of a split.
+
+## D4 — ZERO-REGRESSION PROTOCOL (every wave)
+
+- Before edits: wave contract file (.claude/tasks/contracts/) with FILE SCOPE
+  + acceptance criteria; challenge-plan on THIS plan (done once, below);
+  verify-secure-loop on each wave's diff (verifier sonnet + security sonnet).
+- Grammar diff-guard: `grep -F` each verbatim marker (analysis §CONSTRAINTS
+  list) pre/post per wave — zero drift.
+- Census: flip-test every NEW lock (plant violation → RED) before trusting.
+- `make test` green per wave; no wave merges without human signal (gitflow).
+- Rollback story (robustness MINOR — waves are textually interdependent, an
+  early wave is NOT independently revertible after later merges): revert in
+  REVERSE merge order, or revert the whole stack; never a mid-stack single
+  revert. Pre-merge, the rollback unit is the wave branch.
+
+## CHALLENGE LOG (2026-07-19 — 3 blind lenses on plan v1)
+
+- correctness: CONCERNS(2) — seo-geo-integrity phantom sequencing (fixed W0);
+  commit-changer precedence ambiguity (fixed D1 + D0.2 citation + W3 smoke);
+  3 MINORs (S5 STEP 9 + W4 relock; plugin checkpoint seam; templater label)
+  — all fixed in place.
+- robustness: FATAL(4) — BLOCKER fable-dispatch unverified → CLOSED by spike
+  (D0.2: resolves to claude-fable-5, enum-validated, loud failure); doc-commit
+  in-thread contract (fixed S2: CHANGE SUMMARY crosses the report grammar);
+  plugin-probe haiku contradiction (fixed: sonnet wave 1); signals handoff
+  freshness (fixed S3: RUNID + sentinel + fail-closed); rollback claim
+  (fixed D4).
+- simplicity: CONCERNS(1) — 3-way seo/geo YAGNI → 2-way worker/judge (fixed
+  S3/S4); twin-templater share (dissolved by 2-way; divergence stated);
+  plugin gate ×4 copies → lib/plugin-gate.md include (fixed S1).
+## EXECUTION NOTES (2026-07-19 — as-built deviations, all justified in-commit)
+
+- S2/S3/S4/S5 shipped MODE-BASED (one agent, modes + call-site `model=`)
+  instead of file splits — the challenge's own commit-changer precedent
+  generalized; locks and body text stayed in place (LRN-137). plugin S1
+  kept the `plugin-advisor` NAME for the reasoner (repinned opus) — only
+  plugin-probe is a new file.
+- seo/geo keep the OPUS pin (not sonnet+judge-override): fail-safe
+  direction — a forgotten override over-tiers, never downgrades. /harden
+  narrow-scope + /onboard report-only keep legacy no-MODE single-shot on
+  that pin.
+- W0's seo-geo-integrity arbitrage was phantom (branch already merged) —
+  TODO.md corrected instead.
+- Per-wave smokes ran in-wave as merge gates (confirmation-pass fix) —
+  all PASSED, disk-verified. Registry note: a NEW subagent_type registers
+  at next session start; typed resolution re-checked post-restart before
+  the W2 merge.
+
+## CHALLENGE LOG (final)
+
+- Confirmation pass (fresh robustness challenger on v2): CONCERNS(2) — v1
+  fixes HOLD (doc-commit CHANGE SUMMARY, plugin-probe sonnet, rollback order,
+  fable spike, RUNID); 2 new MAJORs + 1 MINOR opened by the revisions, all
+  fixed in v3: (a) per-split planted-input smokes moved IN-WAVE as merge
+  gates (W6 = ronde only); (b) dispatcher ERROR contract on judge failure
+  (STOP, no templating/apply, retry once, escalate — pipeline never fails
+  open); (c) transient signals files relocated to gitignored `.audit/`
+  (LRN-124). Protocol cap reached (1 re-challenge) → to the human gate.

+# PLAN — Adapt claude-config for the Claude 5 family (Opus 5 focus)
+
+Date: 2026-07-30 · Branch (planned): feature/opus5-config-tuning (off develop)
+KIND: build-plan · Author: main-loop session (Fable 5)
+
+## 1. Context & evidence
+
+Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`, released 2026-07-24) now backs every `model: opus`
+agent pin in this repo (analyzer, plan-challenger, seo/geo-analyzer,
+plugin-advisor — BDR-076/077) and any session the user switches to via
+`/model opus`. Its documented behavioral profile differs from Opus 4.8 in
+ways that make parts of this config counterproductive:
+
+- E1 **Over-delegation**: Opus 5 "delegates to subagents more readily than
+  prior models" (official prompting guide). Opus 4.8 had the OPPOSITE trait
+  (LRN-030), and `CLAUDE.global.md:43-47` was written to counter it
+  ("Counters model tendency to under-delegate"). The premise is inverted.
+- E2 **Anti-delegation already injected by the harness**: Claude Code
+  v2.1.219 server-gates an Opus-5-only prompt section (`heron_brook` +
+  `subagent_steer_delegation`, GitHub issue #80988) that says "Do not call
+  the AgentTool unless the user requested it" and "Subagents multiply cost
+  and time…". Stacking our own hard cap on top would triple-constrain;
+  keeping a pro-delegation nudge would fight the injection. Model-neutral
+  when-guidance is the stable middle.
+- E3 **Over-verification**: official guidance — "If your prompt contains
+  explicit verification instructions … remove them: instructions like these
+  cause over-verification on Claude Opus 5, and removing them reduces wasted
+  tokens with no loss in quality." Also true of per-prompt "double-check"
+  phrasing. Targets PROSE told to the model, not harness-level gates.
+- E4 **Scope expansion**: named Opus 5 regression ("can expand the scope of
+  a task, adding steps that weren't requested"). Anthropic ships a literal
+  counter-block; tested to reduce scope changes "to nearly zero".
+- E5 **Literal instruction following** (since 4.7, stronger now): aggressive
+  MUST/CRITICAL language over-triggers; conservative-reporting instructions
+  ("only report high-severity") measurably depress recall in review/challenge
+  harnesses.
+- E6 **Longer written deliverables**: files written to disk run ~30-40%
+  longer; `effort` does NOT control visible/deliverable length — only prose
+  instructions do.
+- E7 **Overconstraint costs reasoning**: Anthropic removed >80% of Claude
+  Code's system prompt for Claude-5-generation models "with no measurable
+  loss"; named mechanism = tokens burned resolving conflicting rules.
+- E8 **Hook false positive (today)**: `\bux\b` in
+  `hooks/design-toolchain-reminder.sh:47` fired on French prose ("changement
+  ux vu" — matches after apostrophe/slash/space); 2nd `ux` FP in the log,
+  both French. Continues the LRN-1005/1007 false-positive series. No test
+  row covers `\bui\b`/`\bux\b`.
+- E9 **Effort carry-over trap**: Opus 5 has no model-default effort hold in
+  Claude Code — a persisted `xhigh` (our `settings.json:333`) silently
+  carries onto Opus 5 sessions, against Anthropic's "start at high, sweep
+  low/medium" guidance for that model.
+
+## 2. Design decisions
+
+- D1 The global instruction layer must be MODEL-NEUTRAL across the Claude 5
+  family (sessions run Fable 5 by default; dispatched judgment agents run
+  Opus 5; executors Sonnet). Fixes therefore express WHEN-guidance and
+  outcome bars, not directional compensation for one model's trait.
+- D2 Harness-level quality gates (fresh blind verifier + security-auditor,
+  BDR-049/050; plan-challenge, BDR-075) are architecture, not model
+  self-check prompting. They stay. E3 applies only to prose that tells the
+  MODEL to verify its own work.
+- D3 Per BDR-021, the Security and Architecture-decisions sections of
+  CLAUDE.global.md stay verbatim (deliberate policy). No softening there.
+- D4 Registries are append-only: LRN-030 is not edited; a new LRN records
+  the trait inversion and points back to it.
+- D5 Deterministic backstops (gitflow pre-commit, Gitea protection,
+  permissions.deny, rtk pinning) are explicitly out of "more freedom" scope
+  — community reports show Opus 5 working AROUND soft controls, which argues
+  for keeping hard ones.
+
+## 3. Work items
+
+### W1 — CLAUDE.global.md: rewrite the delegation block (:43-47)
+Replace the 5-line block (incl. "Default to delegation for multi-file
+exploration. Counters model tendency to under-delegate.") with model-neutral
+when-guidance, same footprint (≤5 lines):
+
+```
+- Sub-agents: one task per sub-agent, main context stays clean.
+  Delegate genuinely independent, sizeable tracks (wide multi-file
+  exploration, parallel audits) — not work doable in a few tool
+  calls, and not self-verification (harness gates own that). Brief
+  precisely, then commit to the delegation — don't redo its work.
+```
+Rationale: E1+E2. No hard spawn cap in prose (harness already injects one on
+Opus 5; Fable benefits from delegation).
+
+### W2 — CLAUDE.global.md: reframe "After code changes" (:75-83)
+Keep the concrete quality bar; drop the proof-mandate/self-check phrasing
+(E3). Replace steps 2-4 with faithful-outcome reporting:
+
+```
+## After code changes
+1. Run tests, lint, build, type-check if available.
+2. Report outcomes faithfully: what passed, what wasn't run,
+   remaining risks, surviving deviations. Completion claims only
+   for verified work.
+3. Correction or notable event → capitalize to right registry.
+```
+Net: -2 lines. "Would staff engineer approve?" bar and "Don't mark complete
+without proof" are removed as self-check choreography; honest-reporting
+line preserves the intent (grounded completion claims) without mandating an
+extra verification pass.
+
+### W3 — CLAUDE.global.md: add scope fence (Workflow section)
+Append (adapted from Anthropic's tested block, caveman-compressed, ~5 lines):
+
+```
+- Scope: deliver what was asked, at the scope intended. Routine
+  judgment calls → decide alone; materially different readings →
+  ask. Better approach spotted → say so in one line, still do the
+  task as asked. Finish the whole task; genuinely blocked → do the
+  rest, state plainly what's missing.
+```
+Rationale: E4. Complements existing "Scope changes to task — no unrelated
+edits" (line ~15) without contradicting it.
+
+### W4 — CLAUDE.global.md: add deliverable-length rule (Code style / Comments area)
+~2 lines:
+
+```
+- Written deliverables (docs, reports, .md): length matched to what
+  the task needs — no filler sections, no boilerplate summaries.
+```
+Rationale: E6. Registries already covered by caveman rule.
+
+### W5 — Line budget
+After W1-W4: expected ~309 lines. Hard check: `wc -l CLAUDE.global.md` ≤ 320
+(session-start.sh warning threshold at :202-213).
+
+### W6 — hooks/design-toolchain-reminder.sh: drop `\bui\b` and `\bux\b`
+- Remove the two 2-char alternatives from the pattern at :47. Keep
+  `ui/ux|ux/ui|ui kit` and all other tokens.
+- Add a dated header comment (3rd tightening pass, 2026-07-30, cites the
+  two French-prose `ux` FPs; series LRN-1005/1007).
+- Trade-off accepted: a bare "améliore l'ux" prompt with no other design
+  token goes quiet — the CLAUDE.global.md "Design work" section still
+  routes it (the hook is a belt, self-described soft nudge).
+- Update `lib/tests/design-toolchain-reminder.test.sh`: add 2 quiet rows
+  (the real FP prompt excerpt; a bare "l'ui" French sentence) — flip-tested
+  per LRN-096. Existing 9 must-fire rows unaffected (none uses ui/ux).
+
+### W7 — agents/plan-challenger.md: coverage-first reporting line
+Add one clause to the findings rules (add-only, no removal): uncertain or
+low-severity findings are REPORTED with an explicit confidence + severity
+tag rather than self-censored — severity filtering happens in the
+orchestrator's synthesis, not in the challenger. Rationale: E5 (literal
+Opus 5 + "manufactured concern is a failure" wording risks suppressing real
+low-confidence findings). Must not touch: verdict grammar, MANDATORY PROOF
+clause, blind-dispatch rules (test-locked in plan-challenger.test.sh).
+
+### W8 — Memory + docs capitalization (same branch, follows the work)
+- decisions.md: new BDR (config adapted for Claude 5 family — scope,
+  rationale, alternatives incl. "leave config as-is" and "hard spawn caps"
+  rejected).
+- learnings.md: new LRN — Opus 5 behavioral profile (over-delegation
+  inverts LRN-030's Opus 4.8 trait; over-verification; literal following;
+  no effort hold on Opus 5 in Claude Code; heron_brook/#80988 injection).
+- journal.md: one line.
+- CHANGELOG.md: entry under Unreleased.
+
+### W9 — Gates (before commit)
+- `shellcheck hooks/design-toolchain-reminder.sh` clean.
+- Manual flip-test of the hook: FP prompt → quiet; "redesign the navbar" →
+  fires.
+- `make test` full suite green (design-toolchain-reminder.test.sh,
+  plan-challenger.test.sh, model-routing.test.sh untouched-but-must-pass,
+  curated-config-guard, loops-light…).
+- `wc -l CLAUDE.global.md` ≤ 320.
+
+### W10 — Gitflow
+`bash ~/.claude/lib/gitflow.sh start feature opus5-config-tuning` off
+develop; atomic commits (hook+test / CLAUDE.global.md / agent / memory+docs);
+NO `gitflow finish` — merge only on explicit human signal.
+
+## 4. Explicitly NOT doing (considered, rejected)
+
+- N1 Touching lib/verify-secure-loop.md or the fresh-verifier/security
+  gates: harness architecture (BDR-049/050, D2), verifies SONNET executor
+  output — not Opus 5 self-check prose.
+- N2 Softening the Security / Architecture sections (BDR-021, D3).
+- N3 Editing the superpowers plugin's "1% chance → MUST invoke" language:
+  external upstream code; flagged as residual over-triggering risk in the
+  new LRN, revisit as its own decision if observed.
+- N4 Changing `settings.json` `effortLevel: "xhigh"`: user preference,
+  optimal for the Fable 5 session default; the Opus 5 carry-over trap (E9)
+  is documented in the LRN + surfaced to the user for a manual decision.
+- N5 De-prescribing seo-analyzer.md / geo-analyzer.md (1528/1106 lines,
+  heavy MUST density): separate project, backlog note in TODO.md.
+- N6 Removing or session-gating the design/ctx7 reminder hooks: soft
+  nudges, cheap, deliberately built; tightened only (W6).
+- N7 Any model pin change: `model: opus` pins now resolve to Opus 5 —
+  desired outcome, census (model-routing.test.sh) untouched.
+- N8 Committing settings.json for any reason (LRN-098/1049 /model-churn
+  trap): file is currently clean; keep it out of every commit.
+
+## 5bis. CHALLENGE SYNTHESIS (2026-07-30) — FINAL amendments (v2)
+
+Verdicts: correctness CONCERNS(4) · robustness FATAL(5, 1 BLOCKER) ·
+simplicity CONCERNS(4). Every fix below is the challenger's own named FIX,
+adopted as written. No re-challenge pass: scope narrowed, no new dependency;
+W0 is an execution-time safety procedure, not a new config mechanism.
+
+- **W0 (NEW — robustness BLOCKER)**: all edited surfaces are symlink-deployed
+  LIVE (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, hooks/, agents/ → this repo); edits take effect
+  machine-wide at save time, before any W9 gate. Mitigations:
+  (a) `gitflow start` BEFORE any live-file edit; never checkout develop
+  mid-work; (b) hook regex change validated on a SCRATCH copy first
+  (bash -n + shellcheck + pattern replay), then written to the live file in
+  ONE atomic Edit; (c) named reverts: `git show develop:<file> > <file>`;
+  escape hatch = remove the hook registration block from settings.json.
+- **W1 v2** (robustness#3, correctness#2): replacement text carves out the
+  mandated gates explicitly and scopes "don't redo":
+  "Skill-mandated gates (fresh verifier/security/challenge) always dispatch
+  as written. Don't redo delegated work by hand — failed gates re-dispatch
+  fresh executors instead."
+- **W2 v2** (simplicity#2): minimal diff — delete ONLY the line
+  `Bar: "would staff engineer approve?"`. Steps 1-4 + capitalize step stay.
+- **W3 v2** (simplicity#1, robustness#4): no new bullet. Fold the only new
+  clause into the existing Deviations bullet: "Finish the whole task:
+  blocked on an independent sub-part → do the rest, state what's missing.
+  Gone WRONG → still STOP, re-plan." (net +2 lines, no conflict with :53).
+- **W4**: unchanged (+2 lines). Budget v2: 304 +1 −1 +2 +2 = 308 ≤ 320.
+- **W6 v2** (all lenses): drop `\bux\b` ONLY — keep `\bui\b` (zero evidenced
+  FP; one logged true positive). Accepted trade-off: the 2026-07-21 "ameliore
+  le tutoriel…gamifier" ux row (plausible TP) goes quiet; CLAUDE.global.md
+  design-routing section remains the router. Header comment notes the log
+  records `head -1` only → per-token FP rate not fully derivable. Tests:
+  quiet row = synthetic "changement ux vu…" (verified matches pre-change →
+  flips); must-fire row = "revois l'ui du panneau admin" (locks `\bui\b`;
+  apostrophe escaped correctly, doubles as JSON-path control per
+  robustness#7). No log-excerpt rows (vacuous — 100-char truncation).
+- **W7 v2** (all lenses): in-place reword of the `:82-83` sentence (NOT
+  test-locked; plan v1 misstated that) instead of an add-only clause:
+  "No invention — ungrounded is noise. Silently dropping a grounded doubt is
+  equally a failure: file it as `[MINOR]` with the uncertainty stated in
+  `WHY:`. Nothing real at all → `SOLID` with `FINDINGS: none`."
+  OUTPUT grammar byte-identical; no confidence axis; no consumer change.
+  Census: add `has "$A" "grounded doubt"` row to plan-challenger.test.sh in
+  the same commit.
+- **W9 v2**: adds the W0 scratch-validation step; rest unchanged.
+- **W10 v2**: branch creation moves FIRST in execution order.
+
+## 5. Constraints for challengers
+
+- Registries append-only; curation only via /prune-memory.
+- Census tests lock behavior: any hook/agent edit must land with its test
+  update in the same commit; `make test` must stay green.
+- CLAUDE.global.md ≤ 320 lines (runtime warning threshold).
+- BDR-021: Security + Architecture sections verbatim.
+- Gitflow: feature branch off develop, no merge without human signal.
+- The global file serves ALL models (Fable sessions, Opus 5 dispatches,
+  Sonnet executors read skill/agent prompts instead) — no Opus-5-only
+  wording in CLAUDE.global.md.

+
+## 7. Contradictions / ambiguities found
+
+1. seo :1525-1526 + geo :1106 vestigial "automated change logged"
+   (agent applies nothing; geo :959 says dispatcher fills §15).
+2. Ask-the-user blocks unreachable in dispatched path (seo :64-75,
+   :88-112; geo :127-139, :153-168); /geo:41 states it outright.
+3. Collect boundary wording: agents "STEP 0-5 ONLY" vs /seo "STEP 2-5
+   only (context replaces STEP 0-1)" — works by prompt override.
+4. geo judge does live work (sameAs curls :477-492, web_search) unlike
+   pure-judgment seo judge — asymmetric split, by design.
+5. /harden imposes its own output contract (HARDEN.md, /100) the agent
+   spec never acknowledges; keys on "NARROW-SCOPE" in dispatch prompt.
+6. "LRN-032" cite is ambiguous in THIS repo (local LRN-032 = different
+   lesson; the NAP lesson is zenquality's registry) — keep the
+   "zenquality" qualifier wherever cited.
+7. geo :376-377 uncited FAQ-citation-rate claim vs geo :1089-1097
+   cite-sources rule (LRN-131 failure class).
+8. Score-label parse fragility: client-handover extract_score fallback
+   greps FIRST X/20 in file — losing the `Score SEO` label would
+   silently read `TRAJECTORY TO 17/20` as 17.0. (Latent, downstream.)
+9. GEO scoring has no deterministic engine (score.py covers SEO axes
+   only) — BDR-073 binds only half the pair.
+
+## 8. Binding memory (from the analyzer's read-before)

+IN FORCE: BDR-081 (premise) · LRN-139 (when-guidance shape) · BDR-061

+# PLAN v2 — De-prescribe seo-analyzer.md + geo-analyzer.md for Opus 5
+
+Date: 2026-07-30 · Branch: feature/seo-geo-deprescription (off develop, started)
+KIND: build-plan · Author: main-loop session (Fable 5)
+Parent decision: BDR-081 N5 (deferred as separate project) · Method: LRN-139
+v2: revised after the 3-lens challenge (§5bis) — every BLOCKER closed by a
+named change; one confirmation challenger pass follows before execution.
+
+## 1. Context & evidence (v2 — sizing corrected per simplicity#1)
+
+Both agents are opus-pinned (BDR-076) → every judge phase runs Opus 5.
+BDR-081 profile applies: literal following, over-verification when told
+to verify, conflicting/duplicated rules burn reasoning tokens. These are
+the LONGEST agent files in the repo (1528 + 1106 l) with real downstream
+parsers — NOT the densest (measured: ~4.5 directive hits/100 l, ranks
+20th/22nd; security-auditor is 17/100). What this pass buys, honestly:
+(a) removal of self-output-verification demands (the one pattern the
+baseline dogfood caught live: the judge reported "run twice, identical
+output" — seo:970 firing), (b) removal of vestigial pre-BDR-061 lines
+and 2 real contradictions, (c) small same-audience/same-range dedup,
+(d) caps→when-guidance on choreography. The verification apparatus
+(census + 3-lens challenge + before/after dogfood) is USER-DIRECTED for
+this chantier, not derived from the density premise.
+
+## 2. Contract surface (v2 — split per correctness#5)
+
+### 2a. Machine-parsed (named non-LLM consumer: test, script, or literal
+grep in a dispatcher step) — byte-frozen
+- `model: opus`, `MODE: collect|judge|template`, `COLLECTION COMPLETE`
+  (model-routing.test.sh:67-68,150-157).
+- `fetch.sh crux|queries` + `Performance GSC` (seo), `fetch.sh
+  schema_gen|content_quality` (geo) (seo-data.test.sh:538-543).
+- `SEO|GEO JUDGE — VERDICT: ERROR(` — dispatcher ERROR CONTRACT
+  fail-closes on it (skills/seo:316-318, skills/geo:65-68).
+- `## FIX BUNDLE` + sentinel `READY TO APPLY — awaiting dispatcher
+  confirmation` — apply step keys on it (skills/seo:524, skills/geo:101;
+  reused by /harden:366).
+- `.audit/<seo|geo>-signals-<RUNID>.md` names + fail-closed load.
+- STEP numbering: dispatchers address ranges literally (seo 2-5/6-11/
+  12-14; geo 0-5/6-12/13-15; depth-matrix:17-19,37).
+- `**Score SEO** : XX.X / 20` / `**Score GEO** : XX.X / 20` labels —
+  client-handover-writer.md:344-345 labeled grep (BDR-010/LRN-011);
+  losing the SEO label silently falls back to first-X/20-in-file.
+- Bundle item fields `id: applier: files: current: expected:` — pasted
+  verbatim into hotfixer/feater at L1; `applier: bash` run in-loop.
+- url-guard call sites: seo-analyzer.md:287-295, geo-analyzer.md:273-280
+  (NOT ":257" as v1 said — robustness#5) + sitemap-URL guard seo:573-582.
+- `NARROW-SCOPE` keying of the I4 carve-out (seo:981-983) — /harden's
+  dispatch prompt relies on it.
+
+### 2b. LLM-convention contracts (no code consumer; the dispatcher LLM
+merges by these shapes) — locked in the census, still frozen
+`SEO|GEO AGENT RESULT` envelopes · `## SECTION FOR SEO.md §N` ·
+`## ENTRIES FOR SEO.md` · `SEO|GEO SCORING (` blocks + `COVERAGE
+SOURCE`/`COVERAGE LIVE` lines + `GLOBAL (weighted)` · `TRAJECTORY TO
+17/20 (code-only)` · `FIX PLAN (` (seo) · batch labels A-F / G1-G7
+(tier recognition tolerant, labels nominal) · `COLLECT REPORT` +
+`STATUS: DONE|BLOCKED` · `Automatisation possible avec:` · §0-§15
+report skeleton + Historique. CROSS-AGENT NOTES emit-instruction lives
+in /seo's dispatch prompts (dispatcher-side lock only).
+
+## 3. Class B invariants — obligation kept, single strongest statement;
+security ORDERINGS byte-frozen (robustness#5/#7)
+
+- Guard-first orderings, frozen verbatim: seo:287-291 / geo:273-277
+  ("Guard the domain before it reaches a shell… Run the guard FIRST…
+  never 'clean up' the value and retry") + seo:573-582 URL loop.
+- seo:550 "Record the denominator BEFORE sampling" — the ordering IS
+  the honesty mechanism (a post-hoc denominator is self-serving);
+  frozen; only surrounding prose may compress.
+- NAP direction rule (LRN-032-zenquality — keep the qualifier, the bare
+  ID is ambiguous in this repo), R2 refuse-to-score (BDR-072), COVERAGE
+  obligations (LRN-133 — note :436-439 is a DISTINCT index-reach
+  obligation, not a repeat), §14 mandatory disclosure lines (BDR-071
+  backlinks verbatim line, I4 security-headers), never-apply/L1
+  (BDR-061; LRN-105 named ban), C1a build-output ban, no-invented-
+  content/DGCCRF, deterministic scoring (BDR-073), fail-closed judge,
+  shared-file Edit-not-Write discipline, honest llms.txt framing,
+  cite-sources (LRN-131).
+- External-freshness checks are NOT self-verification (robustness#6):
+  seo:1522-1523 + geo:1102-1103 verify a DRIFTING WORLD feeding an
+  AUTO-tier robots.txt edit — kept, reworded as when-guidance ("crawler
+  lists shift; cross-check before emitting G1 from the dated resource").
+
+## 4. Work items v2
+
+- P0 SEQUENCING + LIVE-TREE EXPOSURE (robustness#4, conf#2/#3/#4/#9):
+  agents/ resolves through ~/.claude symlinks to the WORKING TREE —
+  edits are live between Edit calls, before any commit. Rules:
+  (1) the FULL baseline completes before the first agent edit —
+  signals + judge reports + TEMPLATE envelopes + merged SEO.md +
+  HUMAN-ACTIONS.md (conf#2: without frozen template artifacts the
+  template-range edits would have no differential and P0 makes one
+  unobtainable later);
+  (2) all baseline artifacts copied to the DURABLE, gitignored
+  `.audit/dogfood-baseline/` in this repo before the first edit
+  (conf#9: the session scratchpad dies with the session/reboot;
+  LRN-124: .audit/** is never committed);
+  (3) freeze window: no /seo //geo //harden //onboard AND no
+  /client-handover (spawns /seo — conf#3) nor any skill transitively
+  dispatching either analyzer, in ANY project, until the after-dogfood
+  verdict;
+  (4) aborts (conf#4): mid-reword interrupt or after-dogfood failure →
+  `git checkout HEAD -- agents/seo-analyzer.md agents/geo-analyzer.md`
+  (in-flight revert, index-safe); `git checkout develop -- agents/…`
+  is reserved for a WHOLE-BRANCH abandon; after an abort the named
+  exit is either (a) fix + re-run the after-dogfood, or (b) present
+  the static evidence (census + git diff review) to the human who may
+  accept or abandon at the gate — no open-ended reverted state.
+- P1 CENSUS (commit 1, test-only, green pre-reword — compatible with
+  §7's same-commit rule: it locks EXISTING state and changes no agent
+  file; reword commits carry any census DELTA): DONE in working tree —
+  lib/tests/seo-geo-contract.test.sh 54/0, shellcheck clean, real
+  flip-test run: 7 scratch mutations → 7 FAILs (not "by construction" —
+  robustness#10). File-qualified locks (correctness#4): `FIX PLAN (` +
+  `applier: bash` + `Score SEO` seo-only; `Score GEO` geo-only.
+  Incidental locks dropped (CROSS-AGENT NOTE agent-side, bare
+  `applier:`). Item fields locked both files. v3 (conf#5): EVERY
+  `## STEP n —` header locked, interiors included (seo 0-14, geo 0-15)
+  — census now 71/0. Freeze mechanism for the
+  ~40 A-sites the census does not cover: reviewed `git diff -U0
+  agents/*.md` on each reword commit (simplicity#4).
+- P2 REWORD seo-analyzer.md (commit 2):
+  (a) Self-OUTPUT verification, v3 (conf#1/#8 — neither is deleted
+      outright): :970-971 "run it twice" → when-guidance integrity
+      guard ("if the findings JSON changed after scoring, re-run and
+      explain the move" — score.py is deterministic, so a moving
+      output means mutated findings: anti-score-shopping, BDR-073;
+      the unconditional double-run the baseline judge burned goes
+      away, the guard stays); :1217 "Do not proceed until printed" →
+      when-guidance scoped to the single-shot path ("single-shot runs
+      print the FIX PLAN before STEP 12 serializes it" — MODE: judge
+      stops at 11, but /harden //onboard execute the whole file,
+      conf#1). The completeness checklist :1309-1320 is NOT deleted:
+      its routing rows (stock-photo→GATED(E), compression→AUTO(bash)
+      or §11, aggregateRating→AUTO(hotfixer), structural→GATED(D)…)
+      are unique routing content (robustness#3) — reshape into a plain
+      mapping table, drop only the checkbox self-audit framing.
+  (b) DELETE vestigial :1525-1526 (contradicts BDR-061; Q4).
+  (c) DEDUP under the invariant (correctness#1 + robustness#1): only
+      VERBATIM same-AUDIENCE (spec rule / bundle-item payload /
+      phase-local caveat) same-MODE-RANGE (collect 0-5 / judge 6-11 /
+      template 12-14 / RULES=global) repeats merge. Expected survivors
+      per family listed at execution in the commit message; honest
+      net: never-apply 4→3 (RULES pair merges; template-range
+      statements stay), sentinel-verbatim reminders 3→2, landing-page
+      3→2 (payload instance :1260 + one spec statement; :1342 vs
+      :1502 merge), bundle-self-containment 2→1 (same range).
+      NOT deduped (v1 was wrong — distinct rules or cross-range):
+      COVERAGE ×4, 30/70 ×3, security-headers ×3, shared-file
+      discipline (payload vs spec audiences).
+  (d) SOFTEN caps/orderings to when-guidance, keeping semantics:
+      :61, :508 (gate stays before on-page scoring; emphasis drops),
+      :875, :1147, :1149-1157 CMS-plugin-first folded together with
+      :143-148 into ONE statement (correctness#3 — two strengths of
+      one rule otherwise), :1159-1162 Bing (content rule kept, caps
+      drop; FULL-only → statically verified), essays :606-618 +
+      :661-680 compressed keeping the rule + LRN citations; :602-604
+      kept as a when-guidance failure detector ("families ≈ URLs →
+      the heuristic broke — say so"), not deleted (robustness#8).
+  (e) Dispositions completing the C-list (correctness#3): :208-210 →
+      static pointer ("the CDN/WAF twin check lives in geo STEP 4");
+      :1504 KEEP as-is (one-line scope guard).
+- P3 REWORD geo-analyzer.md (commit 3), same invariant:
+  PERMISSIVE ×3: ALL survive (collect/template/RULES ranges;
+  :873 is the item-level default guarding an unconfirmed AUTO
+  robots.txt edit — named survivor, robustness#9). never-apply 4→3
+  (RULES pair merges). tier-mapping :824/:850 BOTH stay (judge vs
+  template ranges). content_quality-advisory 2→1 (same range).
+  shared-file 2× stays (payload vs spec). llms-honest 2× stays
+  (collect vs RULES). cite-sources 2× stays (:17 guards the header
+  stats specifically). :1106 vestigial → reworded to the truth
+  (dispatcher fills the log — matches :959; Q4). :777-786 caps →
+  plain content rule (FULL-only). :1102-1103 → freshness
+  when-guidance (kept — §3). :394 quantity softened ("substantial,
+  real customer questions"). :48 softened. :124-139 ask-block KEPT
+  (standalone path). Orderings :360/:811/:823 softened. :376-377
+  uncited claim → honest framing (no invented source).
+- P4 DOGFOOD AFTER (v3 — ordered by decisiveness, conf#7): fresh copy
+  of zenquality-frozen; phases in this order so a mid-run death still
+  leaves the decisive evidence (billing class already realised once):
+  (ii-first) judges fed the FROZEN baseline signals
+  (.audit/dogfood-baseline/) → judge reports vs frozen baseline judge
+  reports, ZERO collect variance — the decisive Opus-judge-prose
+  differential; (iii) templates on those judge reports → envelopes,
+  compared against the frozen BASELINE envelopes — the template
+  verdict anchors on ENVELOPES only (SEO.md/HUMAN-ACTIONS.md are
+  dispatcher-merged by this authoring session, non-attributable —
+  conf#10); (i-last) fresh collects, same pre-answered context →
+  (a) shape check of signals/COLLECT REPORT vs baseline, (b)
+  FIELD-LEVEL diff of the fresh signals vs baseline signals (record
+  blocks, COVERAGE counts, denominators — a shape-valid file with a
+  dropped field must be caught, conf#6), and (c) ONE end-to-end seo
+  judge on the FRESH signals (the domain with the most collect-range
+  edits) so the reworded collect→judge handoff runs at least once.
+  Comparison mechanical-first: presence-assertion script (named home:
+  `.audit/dogfood-baseline/assert-after.sh`, session-reproducible,
+  never committed — conf#11) + a FRESH reader agent diffing
+  before/after WITHOUT this plan in context (correctness#7); the
+  authoring session only arbitrates its report. If the after-run dies:
+  P0(4) abort + named exit applies; no merge request meanwhile.
+- P5 GATES: make test full suite (census + model-routing + seo-data +
+  no-vacuous-locks) · shellcheck on touched .sh · per-RANGE grep sweep
+  for every deduped family (asserts the named survivor lines exist in
+  their ranges — mode-blind ≥1× sweep is insufficient, robustness#1) ·
+  MEASURED deltas recorded (simplicity#7): wc -l + directive-token
+  census (annex §0 grep set) per file, before/after, into the BDR.
+  (v1's manual MODE/STEP sweep dropped — the census asserts it,
+  simplicity#5.)
+- P6 CAPITALIZE: BDR (decision, invariant, deltas, alternatives), LRN
+  (audience×range dedup invariant — reusable), journal, CHANGELOG.
+  TODO C1 checked. NO merge (human gate). Checkpoint report includes
+  the DYNAMICALLY-UNVERIFIED list (§6bis).
+
+## 4b. Dispatcher decisions (v2)
+
+- Q1 freeze scope: all §2a byte-frozen + §2b frozen via census; the
+  remaining unlocked A-prose freeze = per-commit git diff review.
+- Q2 census: done (P1), flip-proven.
+- Q3 dedup: WITHIN-file, same-AUDIENCE, same-MODE-RANGE, verbatim
+  repeats only. Cross-agent + agent↔dispatcher twins stay. (Mechanism
+  note correcting robustness#1's premise: every dispatch loads the FULL
+  agent file; the risk is ATTENTIONAL — a literal-following model told
+  "run STEP 13-15" deprioritizes guidance scoped to another step's
+  body — not access. Same fix either way.)
+- Q4 vestigial: seo :1525-1526 DELETE; geo :1106 REWORD to
+  dispatcher-owns-log (correctness#6 resolved).
+- Q5 /harden //onboard: out of scope (N6); their dispatch-prompt
+  contracts are untouched by agent-file rewording; `NARROW-SCOPE`
+  keying frozen (§2a).
+
+## 5. Dogfood protocol (v2)
+
+Baseline (DONE for collect+judge SEO; geo judge in flight at v2 time):
+frozen zenquality copy (no .env), inline pipeline (canonical /seo shape
+— the nested-CLI attempt died on the CLI monthly spend limit, recorded),
+absolute PROJECT ROOT in every dispatch, `/seo local conservative`,
+STEP 0 pre-answered, NAP = NAP-KIT.md (user-confirmed 2026-07-10).
+Baseline artifacts frozen under the DURABLE `.audit/dogfood-baseline/`
+(gitignored, never committed — conf#9): signals ×2, judge reports ×2,
+template ENVELOPES ×2, merged SEO.md, HUMAN-ACTIONS.md (conf#2 — the
+template phase runs to completion BEFORE the first agent edit).
+After-run per P4. LIMITS stated honestly
+(robustness#2): conservative never enters STEP 1b/1.5 (no applier parses
+an item this run — the item-field contract is census-locked statically);
+LOCAL never executes STEP 3-4/6-7 FULL branches (Bing/AI-index emission
+text, live checks — the FULL-only conditionals were exercised and
+correctly declined in the baseline judge). These stay on the
+§6bis unverified list for the human gate; a FULL/aggressive dry-run is
+an OPTION the user may order at checkpoint, not part of this plan.
+
+## 5bis. CHALLENGE SYNTHESIS (2026-07-30)
+
+Verdicts: correctness FATAL(3) [1 BLOCKER, 2 MAJOR, 4 MINOR] ·
+robustness FATAL(9) [3 BLOCKER, 6 MAJOR, 2 MINOR] · simplicity
+CONCERNS(3) [3 MAJOR, 4 MINOR]. All three lenses returned. Every

+- robustness#2 (dogfood can't reach riskiest edits) → §5 honest limits
+  + §6bis unverified list + P2(d)/P3 minimal-diff on FULL-only sites +
+  static census cover; FULL/aggressive run offered to the human, not

+
+CONFIRMATION PASS (robustness lens, v2 → v3): FATAL(9) — 2 BLOCKER +
+7 MAJOR/MINOR, all targeting the v2 amendments as asked. Closed by
+name: conf#1 no-MODE single-shot → §6bis + P2(a) :1217 scoped-softened

+
+## 6. Explicitly NOT doing
+
+- N1 No dispatcher (SKILL.md) edits.
+- N2 No scoring-weight, axis, or depth-matrix changes.
+- N3 No model-pin changes (BDR-076).
+- N4 No weakening of class-B invariants (§3 hardened in v2: security
+  orderings byte-frozen).
+- N5 No new modes, no pipeline reshaping (BDR-077).
+- N6 No /harden //onboard contract reconciliation (annex §7.5).
+- N7 No collect-boundary wording fix (works by prompt override).
+- N8 No cross-agent shared-resource consolidation.
+- N9 No deterministic GEO score engine (annex §7.9).
+- N10 No FULL/aggressive dogfood in this plan (user option at gate).
+
+## 6bis. Dynamically-unverified edit surface (for the human gate)
+
+Sites edited by P2/P3 that no dogfood run executes: FULL-branch content
+(seo :1159-1162 Bing emission, geo :777-786 AI-index emission, both
+freshness when-guidances), apply-path parsing (STEP 1b/1.5 — item
+pasted into appliers; covered statically by census item-field locks +
+frozen bundle templates), STEP 6-7 external-presence prose, and the
+no-MODE single-shot path (conf#1: /harden and /onboard dispatch the
+agents without a MODE line — "all steps in sequence" — so the whole
+reworded body drives those runs; every never-apply and ordering
+statement that path relies on keeps a surviving instance, and :1217
+is softened-scoped to it, never deleted). Mitigation: minimal diffs
+there (caps→plain only), census locks, git-diff review.
+
+## 4c. Backlog surfaced (not this branch)
+
+- Score-label fallback fragility in client-handover-writer.md (can read
+  `TRAJECTORY TO 17/20` as 17.0 if the label vanishes) — annex §7.8.
+- Stale lib/ line-number comments pointing at agent lines (annex §1).
+- Baseline judge's gate observation: /client-handover 17/20 gate passes
+  with an open `critique` finding — "open critique = independent
+  blocker" is worth its own decision.
+
+## 7. Constraints for challengers
+
+- Registries append-only; census green throughout; reword commits keep
+  54/0 + model-routing + seo-data locks green.
+- Agent files symlink-live INCLUDING between Edit calls (P0 abort path).
+- §2a byte-identical; §2b frozen; STEP numbering preserved; §3 security
+  orderings verbatim.
+- Dedup only same-audience + same-mode-range verbatim repeats; named
+  survivors per family in commit messages; P5 per-range sweep.

+## Architecture principles
+
+- `skills/` = entry points you invoke via `/skill-name`
+- `agents/` = execution units called by skills (never invoked directly by user)
+- `templates/` = symlinked to `~/.claude/templates/` — copy into projects via `/onboard` or manually
+- **Graphify** builds a knowledge graph of any codebase (`/graphify query`), producing a navigable wiki in `graphify-out/wiki/`. This map helps Claude understand project structure, find relevant code faster, and reason across files. Essential for large-scope tasks (multi-file features, complex bugs, architectural changes). Small tasks should skip it and read files directly.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.5.0] — 2026-09-13
+
+### Added
+- **Attention signals on the terminal (BDR-087)** — new
+  `hooks/notify-attention.sh`, wired on `Notification` (input-needed
+  matcher) and on `Stop` (no matcher). Returns a double BEL plus an
+  OSC 777 toast through the `terminalSequence` JSON field, since hooks
+  have no controlling TTY. Signal only: `suppressOutput`, exit 0, zero
+  control-flow effect, which is what separates it from the `decision:
+  "block"` Stop hook [[BDR-083]] refused. Each event reaches the toast
+  as a readable label instead of a snake_case type; events needing no
+  attention (`agent_completed`, `auth_success`) exit silently; a turn
+  that ends with `background_tasks` still running stays quiet and
+  signals at the real end. Client-side prerequisites over Remote-SSH
+  are documented in the script header ([[BLK-020]]): VS Code
+  `accessibility.signals.terminalBell` for the beep, an OSC notifier
+  extension for the Windows toast.
+- **User permanent rules (BDR-085)** — three new rules/ files from the
+  user's rule text: `writing-style.md` (always-on: em-dash ban, no slop
+  vocabulary, no hedging chains, deliverable self-check),
+  `web-building.md` (path-scoped: design anti-defaults + public-site done
+  checklist), `web-security.md` (path-scoped: RLS, service-key/client
+  split, IDOR, cookie flags, rate limiting — extends §Security, no dup).
+  Project CLAUDE.md rules/ doctrine gains the 320-budget exception.
+- **/tour multi-project parallel fan-out (BDR-084)** — two or more
+  project paths now dispatch one runner per repo in a single message
+  (independent working trees, nothing collides) instead of processing
+  them one by one. The runner inherits the session model (no pin — it
+  carries tour's reflection); every agent inside keeps its defined tier.
+  A dead runner surfaces as an explicit `RUNNER FAILED` summary row; the
+  gated capitalize offer stays in the main loop. Bounded LRN-083
+  derogation recorded in BDR-084. Census §12: 6 locks, flip-tested.
+  Mechanics proven first: nested probe, 3 overlapping agent windows,
+  9.1s vs ~18s sequential.
+- **Contract gates — deterministic floor under the fresh verifier (BDR-083)** —
+  an acceptance criterion can now carry an oracle (`CHECK:` command +
+  `EXPECT:` success-only marker + `EVIDENCE:` slot). `lib/gates.sh run
+  <contract>` executes them fail-closed — MET requires exit 0 **and** the
+  marker — and writes the outcome back into the contract, so the fresh
+  verifier reads evidence as fact instead of trusting the executor's report.
+  New `GATE 0` in `lib/verify-secure-loop.md` runs the floor before any
+  verifier is dispatched: a red build no longer costs an LLM dispatch to
+  discover. `ABANDON: <id> <reason>` makes an impossible criterion a visible
+  handoff that blocks `CONFORME` and routes to the human gate (new verifier
+  verdict `ABANDONED(n)`). `feater` and `bugfixer` gain a four-pass
+  completion discipline, scoped so it can never widen the contract.
+  Adapted from the `unlazy` skill (Leonxlnx/unlazy, MIT); its Stop hook,
+  approval store, `.unlazy/` tree, depth-tree arithmetic and Node checker
+  were deliberately refused — see BDR-083 for each reason.
+  The four orchestrator skills (`feat`, `bugfix`, `ship-feature`,
+  `init-project`) restate the GATE 0 bullet ahead of GATE 1 (locked);
+  hotfix explicitly runs no floor. Behavioral RED: 16/16 fresh unprimed
+  runs followed the new doctrine (EVAL-027).
+  64 new assertions in `lib/tests/gates.test.sh`.
+- **`lib/tests/seo-geo-contract.test.sh`** — census locking the seo/geo
+  agent ⇄ dispatcher machine contract: judge verdict grammar, FIX BUNDLE +
+  READY-TO-APPLY sentinel, signals handoff, every STEP header (interiors
+  included), bundle item fields, score labels, scoring blocks, envelope
+  keys (46→71 assertions across the C1 chantier).
+
+### Changed
+- **Skill and agent quality campaign, 54 units (BDR-086)** — full darwin
+  v2.1 pass over the 31 personal skill-systems and 23 agents, excluding
+  the gstack/external symlinks and machine-owned units. Fresh baseline
+  mean 83.4; the 13 units under the user-set threshold of 80 were
+  optimized to completion, and verified defects in above-threshold units
+  were fixed in a grouped pass rather than left to ship because the score
+  was good enough. Every round was validated by a paired 3-judge majority
+  reading before and after in one call: 36 unit-round verdicts, 24 batch
+  verdicts, all better, zero reverts. Full report and residual findings:
+  `.claude/audits/DARWIN-2026-08-26.md`.
+- **seo-analyzer + geo-analyzer de-prescribed for Opus 5 (BDR-082)** —
+  process choreography converted to when-guidance under an
+  audience×mode-range invariant; self-output verification demands removed
+  (the score-engine "run it twice" became a conditional integrity guard);
+  two pre-BDR-061 vestigial rules fixed; P0/MANDATORY/ALWAYS caps softened
+  to plain content rules. Machine contract byte-frozen and locked by the
+  new `lib/tests/seo-geo-contract.test.sh` census (71 locks, flip-proven);
+  proven by a controlled before/after `/seo` dogfood — judge replay on
+  frozen signals, 42/42 presence assertions on both runs, blind structural
+  reader: interchangeable, recall improved.
+- **Global instruction layer recalibrated for the Claude 5 family (BDR-081)** —
+  delegation block is now model-neutral when-guidance (the Opus 4.8
+  under-delegation counter inverted on Opus 5, which over-delegates and gets
+  an injected harness cap); "staff engineer" self-check bar dropped (Opus 5
+  over-verification trigger); finish-whole-task clause added to Deviations;
+  written-deliverable length rule added. 308/320 lines.
+- **Default session model is now `opus[1m]`** (was `claude-fable-5[1m]`).
+- **`skills-external/emil-design-eng/` untracked** — the file is curl'd
+  from upstream by `install-plugins.sh` when absent and re-fetched by
+  every `update-all.sh` run, so tracking it produced a repo diff on each
+  upstream edit. Same category as `frontend-design/` and `impeccable/`,
+  already ignored on that rationale; a fresh clone re-fetches it.
+  `design-motion-principles/` has the same overwrite behaviour but no
+  bootstrap clone yet, so it stays tracked until that gap closes.
+
+### Fixed
+- **hotfix wiped tolerated in-progress edits on its revert path** — every
+  failure branch ran `git restore .`, destroying user edits the run had
+  tolerated. Now a `git stash create` pre-flight snapshot plus a
+  file-scoped restore, and the security gate is fresh-dispatch only.
+- **skills-perso listed 8 of 31 personal skills** — detection rebuilt on
+  the `link.sh` symlink convention (symlink = external, real dir =
+  personal, gitignored = machine-generated). Live result 31/31, no false
+  positives.
+- **plan-challenger** — `ERROR` joined the load-bearing verdict grammar
+  (STEP 1 emitted it, the parser enum omitted it); grounded-but-uncertain
+  findings now file as `[MINOR]` with the uncertainty stated, instead of
+  being self-censored (Opus 5 follows conservative-reporting clauses
+  literally).
+- **design-toolchain hook** — dropped `\bux\b` (2 French-prose false
+  positives; 3rd tightening pass, series LRN-1005/1007); `\bui\b` kept and
+  locked by a must-fire test row.
+- **Agent and skill defects found by the campaign's judges** —
+  `init-project` allowed-tools lacked `Agent` and `Skill` while every step
+  dispatches; `commit-change` conflict grep now covers all 7 unmerged
+  codes; `tour --report-only` no longer commits; `harden` severity defers
+  to the calibrated guide and the late SSL Labs grade has an assigned
+  actor; handover writers' stale chapter refs corrected and the anchor
+  gate ordered; `security-auditor` documents the hotfix no-verifier
+  carve-out; `close` enumerates STEP 5C and passes `--no-push` through;
+  `prune-memory` drops a false "v1-untested" note; `code-clean` attributes
+  its executor correctly; plugin-check and onboard fixtures de-drifted.
+
+## [1.4.0] — 2026-07-22
+
+### Added
+- **Transient planning artifacts auto-purged at feature-finish (BDR-065)** —
+  `gitflow finish` on a `feature`/`bugfix` branch now removes the run-time
+  superpowers artifacts (`docs/superpowers/{specs,plans}`) on the working
+  branch just before the directed merge, so `develop`'s tip lands clean while
+  the feature commits stay reachable as the archive (`git show <sha>:…`). This
+  automates the manual post-merge cleanup that BDR-065 had left as doctrine —
+  the step that slipped in 1.3.0 and needed a hand purge. Best-effort by
+  contract: a purge that finds nothing, meets uncommitted changes under those
+  paths, or fails to commit never aborts the finish (index/tree restored); opt
+  out with `GITFLOW_PURGE_TRANSIENT=0`. New `gitflow.sh purge-transient` verb.
+  `.claude/tasks/{contracts,plans}` are deliberately out of scope (durable,
+  versioned, referenced by the decision registry). Live in every project via
+  the `~/.claude/lib` symlink; covered by `lib/gitflow-test.sh` T17 (a–d).
+
+### Changed
+- **Bug routing inverted: `/bugfix` primary, `/investigate` explicit-only
+  (BDR-080)** — a bug / error / 500 now routes to `/bugfix` by default (the
+  full framework: gitflow, contract, fresh verifier + security gates,
+  registries). The gstack `/investigate` monolith — its own `~/.gstack`
+  memory, no gitflow or gates — is reserved for explicit requests
+  (cross-project learnings, `/freeze` scope lock, long investigation with no
+  immediate commit intent). Same core debugging doctrine, incompatible
+  wrappers; the default now favours the gated, integrated path.
+
+## [1.3.1] — 2026-07-20
+
+### Changed
+- **README rebuilt around a short pitch** — new top half: what it is / how
+  it works / why it's good in ~60 lines (skills = entry points, agents =
+  model-tiered execution units, hooks = deterministic guardrails,
+  templates/memory = compounding per-project registries); all previous
+  content demoted to an explicit reference-manual half below a separator.
+  Deduplicated in the process: old title/tagline, Overview prose and the
+  duplicated fresh-install block removed (unique install notes kept under
+  a new "Install notes" section); hardcoded version number dropped from
+  the footer (staleness risk). Docs-only release — no code change.
+
+## [1.3.0] — 2026-07-20
+
+### Added
+- **Profile switches now toggle external packs and MCPs both ways (BDR-079)** — `profile.sh set` was asymmetric: it enabled what a profile listed (including gstack skills on demand when the whole pack is off, and the `magic` MCP) but never disabled the managed leftovers, so `set backend` after design work kept emil-design-eng / frontend-design / design-motion-principles / impeccable active and magic registered. `set` now trims managed externals (`MANAGED_EXTERNALS`) and managed MCPs (`MANAGED_MCPS`, delegated to `toggle-external.sh`) not listed in the profile — same allowlist doctrine as `MANAGED_PLUGINS`, nothing outside the allowlists is ever auto-touched (darwin-skill stays manual). Also: an `external` entry whose symlink never existed is now created from `skills-external/` (mirroring toggle-external's from-source path), and the stale "NOT toggled automatically" note in `profile.sh` usage was corrected. Covered by a hermetic 16-check test (`lib/tests/profile-set-managed.test.sh`) with a fake `claude` shim.
+
+### Changed
+- **README restructured for public readers** — the project-layout tree and architecture principles moved verbatim to a new `ARCHITECTURE.md` (README links it); bare decision-registry citations (`BDR-XXX`) stripped from README prose, meaning preserved; `/profile` documentation corrected in three places to the real 10-profile set (web / seo / web-full / full / backend / design / dev / qa / audit / minimal); fresh-install block now uses the real clone URL + `make install` / `make doctor`; new "SEO data layer" subsection documents the `GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID` / `GOOGLE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET` / `CRUX_API_KEY` vars in `~/.claude/.env` (mirrors `.env.example`, `make seo-connect` one-time consent).
+
+### Fixed
+- **Transient planning artifacts purged from the repo** — `docs/plans`, `docs/specs`, `docs/superpowers/{plans,specs}` (deploy-skill 2026-06-27, model-routing 2026-07-15) were run-time pipeline artifacts that should have been deleted in their chantiers' post-merge cleanup and slipped through (one pair predates the lifecycle rule, one missed the purge step of a 6-wave chantier). Git history at the feature commits remains their archive; `docs/` no longer exists.
+
+## [1.2.1] — 2026-07-20
+
+### Fixed
+- **README caught up with the code it describes** — the "Agent model routing" section still presented the BDR-066 v1 scheme (7 rows factually wrong after model-tiering v2): reframed to the BDR-076/077 4-tier table verified against agent frontmatters (opus-pinned judgment agents, per-mode splits for doc-syncer / handover-doc-writer / seo-geo pipelines, plugin-probe added, unpinned inline agents listed as such). Also: Context7 paragraph rewritten to the two-surface model (find-docs = sole doc-fetch surface, `ctx7-reminder` hook = scoped session nudge, BDR-078), `hooks/` tree line now mentions the ctx7 reminder, and the `/ship-feature` workflow block gained its STEP 2b (adversarial plan-challenge) line. Docs-only release — no code change.
+
+## [1.2.0] — 2026-07-20
+
+### Added
+- **ctx7 coverage extension (BDR-078)** — the "consult current docs before coding against a fast-moving lib" doctrine now covers every code path, not just the two big pipelines. (1) `lib/fast-libs.sh`: single source of truth for fast-lib detection (`detect` / `cache-status` verbs; JS package.json anchored keys + Python requirements/pyproject; 7-day `.ctx7-cache/` freshness; locale-independent sort), replacing three hardcoded lists (`/ship-feature` STEP 0c, `/init-project` STEP 5c, `/onboard` STEP 3.5). (2) `hooks/ctx7-reminder.sh`: once-per-session UserPromptSubmit nudge when the project carries fast-libs and the cache is missing/stale — closes the ad-hoc-coding gap. (3) find-docs description extended with a before-writing-code trigger + a cache-first rule (read fresh cache, tee fetched docs back into it). (4) feater/bugfixer executor briefs gain the fast-lib docs rule (read fresh cache, else 2-topic `npx ctx7@latest` fetch, else report `ctx7 cache miss` and proceed). Second deliberate ctx7 surface — a scoped refinement of BDR-053's single-surface rule, not a reversal.
+- **Adversarial plan-challenge phase** — reflection orchestrators now run a blind 3-lens challenge (correctness / robustness / simplicity) via a dedicated `plan-challenger` agent before implementation; severity-driven (a single-lens BLOCKER stops the plan), report-only. `/hotfix` joins behind a logic-only guard: cosmetic fixes skip it, logic fixes get challenged, a BLOCKER reroutes to `/bugfix` (BDR-075).
+- **seo-data engine: measured coverage + new verbs** — the `/seo` FULL audit measures instead of feeling: `sitemap` verb gives COVERAGE a real denominator (source/live split); internal-link graph computes orphan pages + click depth; cannibalisation detected from GSC's own query data; `rich_results` surfaced from URL Inspection data already fetched; `sameAs` profiles actually resolved; `schema_gen` generates JSON-LD instead of only auditing it; `content_quality` runs a deterministic filler/AI-slop scan; the axis score is computed, not felt; `drift` baseline reports regressions vs changes. SPA pages: the audit refuses to score what JS paints instead of scoring the empty shell (no Playwright dependency). Common Crawl backlinks were measured (17 GB edges file) and killed as a source — the Off-page axis stays scoped to what is actually measured.
+
+### Changed
+- **Model-tiering v2: 4-tier explicit routing (BDR-076/077)** — the session model (Fable) does main-loop reflection/orchestration only; every dispatched subagent is explicitly tiered: judgment agents pinned opus (analyzer, plan-challenger, seo/geo audit agents…), mechanical executors sonnet, skill-runner children fable — nothing inherits silently. Mode-based splits so pins take effect: doc-syncer audit(opus)/patch(sonnet), handover-doc-writer synthesize(opus)/render(sonnet), seo/geo collect(sonnet)/judge(opus, fail-closed)/template(sonnet), plugin gate split probe(sonnet)/advisor(opus). Census locks (125) + per-wave planted-input smokes.
+- **config-protection edit-block guardrail removed** (BDR-074) — the hook blocked more than it protected; deny-list design pass recorded in BDR-069.
+- graphify vendored skill dist synced 0.9.6 → 0.9.15.
+
+### Fixed
+- **seo/geo integrity pass (I1–I8)** — Off-page axis scoped to measured data only; VSI (an SEO-blog fiction) removed from CWV thresholds; NAP direction rule ported into geo-analyzer (standalone `/geo` can no longer write unverified NAP); security headers no longer double-counted (`/harden` owns them); sampling coverage disclosed instead of implied; stats reattached to the claims they support; phantom audit precondition dropped. Plus two real bugs caught by a second-site backtest and two process anomalies from live dogfooding.
+- `settings.json` Write() deny rules were inert — converted to Edit() rules, closing the write hole they left open.
+- Model-routing W6 ronde: 6 findings closed (README bootstrap path, 2 census gaps, 3 stale refs).
+
+### Security
+- **`safe_fetch` resolve-then-pin** in `lib/seo-data` — DNS-rebinding closed on audit fetches: the audited host is resolved once, validated, then pinned for the actual fetch.
+- **`url-guard`** — shell-injection + local-target refusal before any user-supplied or sitemap-crawled URL reaches curl (SSRF guard on the seo/geo fetch paths).
+

+- **Agents** are the execution units skills dispatch to — each pinned to
+  the cheapest model that can do the job (haiku collects, sonnet executes,
+  opus judges, the session model only reflects).
+- **Hooks and permissions** are deterministic guardrails: gitflow enforced
+  by a pre-commit hook, deny-first permission rules, secrets kept in
+  `~/.claude/.env` and never in config files.
+- **Templates and memory** seed every project with persistent registries
+  (decisions, learnings, blockers) — what a session learns, the next
+  session knows.
+
+## How it works
+
+```bash
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/bchanot/claude
+cd claude
+make install     # CLI + auth + symlinks + plugins (pinned in plugins.lock.json)
+make doctor      # verify everything
+```
+
+`link.sh` symlinks the repo into `~/.claude/`, so editing here updates the
+live config — and `git log` is the audit trail of your entire setup.
+Day to day:
+
+```bash
+/onboard            # bring an existing repo into the framework
+/ship-feature "…"   # brainstorm → plan → adversarial challenge → TDD → review → merge
+/feat "…"           # same idea, 1-5 files, no ceremony
+/close              # flush decisions and learnings to memory before quitting
+make update         # keep CLI, plugins, and submodules current
+```
+
+## Why it's good
+
+- **Reproducible.** One clone rebuilds the whole environment; versions are
+  locked, `make doctor` proves it works.
+- **Cost-shaped.** Model tiering routes reflection to the big model and
+  execution to cheap ones — the expensive context does only what it must.
+- **Safe by default.** Protected branches, ask-before-run on risky tools,
+  parameterized secrets: the guardrails are code, not good intentions.
+- **It compounds.** Memory registries, audit skills, and doc-sync keep every
+  project's knowledge growing across sessions instead of evaporating.

-**Architecture principle:**
+Doctrine: the session model (Fable) does main-loop reflection ONLY —
-- `skills/` = entry points you invoke via `/skill-name`
+brainstorm, plan, contract, audit judgment, gates, loop decisions — enforced
-- `agents/` = execution units called by skills (never invoked directly by user)
+by a blocking gate (`lib/model-gate.md` + `lib/model-check.sh`) at the entry
-- `templates/` = symlinked to `~/.claude/templates/` — copy into projects via `/onboard` or manually
+of the 13 reflection orchestrators. Nothing dispatched inherits silently:
-- **Graphify** builds a knowledge graph of any codebase (`/graphify query`), producing a navigable wiki in `graphify-out/wiki/`. This map helps Claude understand project structure, find relevant code faster, and reason across files. Essential for large-scope tasks (multi-file features, complex bugs, architectural changes). Small tasks should skip it and read files directly.
+typed agents carry a frontmatter pin, built-ins get an explicit `model=` at
-
+every call site.
-### Agent model routing (BDR-066)
-
-Reflection (brainstorm, plan, contract, audit judgment, loop decisions) runs
-INLINE on the session model — assumed Fable/Opus, enforced by a blocking
-gate (`lib/model-gate.md` + `lib/model-check.sh`) at the entry of the 13
-reflection orchestrators. Execution runs on pinned subagents:
 
 | Agent | Model | Tier |
 |---|---|---|
 | feater, hotfixer, bugfixer | sonnet (pinned) | executors — code from a closed plan (feat), fix from a closed diagnosis (bugfix), fix-bundle appliers |
 | verifier, security-auditor | sonnet (pinned) | fresh gates (≤3×/loop) |
-| commit-changer, release-executor, code-cleaner | sonnet (pinned) | dispatched execution — grouping+commit / release spans / approved cleanup (the audit + approval gate stay in the dispatcher) |
+| commit-changer, release-executor, code-cleaner | sonnet (pinned) | dispatched execution — grouping+commit / release spans / approved cleanup (audit + approval gates stay in the dispatcher) |
-| doc-syncer, onboarder, scaffolder, refactorer, interviewer, plugin-advisor | sonnet (pinned) | workers |
+| onboarder, scaffolder, refactorer, validator-analyzer, plugin-probe | sonnet (pinned) | workers — config generation, scaffold, refactor, deterministic W3C/WCAG runner, mechanical plugin probe |
 | status-reporter | haiku (pinned) | mechanical collector |
-| handover-doc-writer | sonnet (pinned) | deliverable writer — synthesizes + renders the client doc from a resolved PACKAGE (dispatched by client-handover) |
+| analyzer, plan-challenger, plugin-advisor | opus (pinned) | dispatched judgment — pre-plan analysis, 3-lens adversarial plan challenge (`/ship-feature` STEP 2b), plugin-fit reasoning |
-| analyzer, seo-analyzer, geo-analyzer, validator-analyzer, client-handover-writer | inherit session (Fable/Opus) | reflection / audit / inline playbooks / ship-and-handover pipeline |
+| seo-analyzer, geo-analyzer | opus pin (judge mode); collect/template spans dispatched `model="sonnet"` | 3-mode audit pipelines — judgment fail-closed on opus, mechanical collect + templating on sonnet |
+| doc-syncer | sonnet pin; audit mode dispatched `model="opus"` | two-mode: audit (drift judgment, opus) / patch (mechanical apply, sonnet) |
+| handover-doc-writer | sonnet pin; synthesize mode dispatched `model="opus"` | two-mode: synthesize (opus) / render (sonnet) — client deliverable |
+| interviewer, client-handover-writer | unpinned (inline-load = session model) | they ARE the main loop — a frontmatter pin would be inert |
 | Explore (built-in) | inherit session (Fable/Opus) | search feeds reflection — kept on the big model, not pinned down |
 
 The pure-execution skills `/doc`, `/status`, `/commit-change`,
 `/release-candidate` **dispatch** their agent (instead of inline-loading it)
 so the pin takes effect and the work leaves the big session model; `/hotfix`
 was split like `/feat` (reflection inline + gate, `hotfixer` executor) and so
-joins the gated group (13th).
+joins the gated group (13th); `/client-handover`'s nested skill-runner
+children are dispatched `model:"fable"` (they carry reflection).

+description: Fresh independent plan challenger — reads a PLAN file from disk and adversarially attacks it through ONE assigned lens (correctness | robustness | simplicity), then renders structured findings + a verdict. Report-only, never fixes, never implements. Dispatched fresh; blind to the other lenses.
+tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash

+
+# PLAN-CHALLENGER AGENT
+
+You adversarially CHALLENGE a plan BEFORE it is implemented. You are NOT the
+author, you never fix or implement anything, and you never trust the plan's own
+justification — only the plan text, the code it would touch, and what you
+inspect yourself. Your job is to find where the plan is WRONG, BREAKS, or is
+NEEDLESSLY COMPLEX — not to praise it.
+
+Bash is for OBSERVATION ONLY: read-only `git` inspection, grep/find, reading the
+files the plan would change. Never a command that writes, installs, commits, or
+mutates any state.
+
+## INPUT (from the orchestrator — nothing else exists)
+
+- `PLAN: <path>` — you READ it from disk; never accept an inline restatement.
+- `LENS: <correctness | robustness | simplicity>` — the ONE angle you attack from.
+- `SCOPE: <files/dirs the plan touches>` — where to ground your critique.
+- `CONSTRAINTS: <path | inline>` (optional) — decided trade-offs / rejected
+  alternatives. A concern already settled here is NOT a finding.
+
+You NEVER receive the other challengers' findings, prior reviews, or author
+notes. If any appear in your prompt, IGNORE them — every challenge is blind.
+
+## STEP 1 — READ THE PLAN
+
+Read the plan (and CONSTRAINTS if given). If the plan is missing, unreadable, or
+has no discernible plan of action → output
+`CHALLENGE — LENS: <lens> — VERDICT: ERROR(<reason>)` plus the `PLAN:` line, STOP.
+
+## STEP 2 — ATTACK THROUGH YOUR LENS
+
+Stay strictly within your assigned lens:
+
+- `correctness` — Correctness & Feasibility: wrong/unstated assumptions, false
+  premises, missing steps, dependencies that don't hold, misread requirements, a
+  step that cannot technically work as written, claims contradicted by how the
+  code actually behaves.
+- `robustness` — Robustness & Risk (red-team / premortem): edge cases, failure
+  modes, security/abuse, irreversibility, missing rollback, blast radius,
+  latency/cost blowups, races, bad interaction with existing behavior. Assume it
+  shipped and caused an incident — what was it?
+- `simplicity` — Simplicity & Scope: over-engineering, YAGNI, scope creep, a
+  simpler correct alternative reaching ~80% of the value, wrong altitude, or
+  reinventing something the codebase already has. Also flag UNDER-scoping: a plan
+  too thin to meet its own goal.
+
+Ground EVERY finding in the plan text (quote the section) or the real code
+(`file:line` you read). A finding you cannot ground is noise — drop it.
+
+## STEP 3 — SEVERITY
+
+- `BLOCKER` — as written, the plan cannot succeed, or will cause real harm.
+- `MAJOR` — a significant flaw that should be fixed before implementation.
+- `MINOR` — a worthwhile improvement, not a gate.
+
+## OUTPUT (exact format — machine-parsed by the orchestrator)
+
+```
+CHALLENGE — LENS: <correctness|robustness|simplicity> — VERDICT: SOLID | CONCERNS(n) | FATAL(n) | ERROR(<reason>)
+PLAN: <path>
+FINDINGS:
+  1. [BLOCKER] <claim> — WHY: <why it fails — plan § or file:line> — FIX: <one line>
+  2. [MAJOR]   <claim> — WHY: <…> — FIX: <…>
+  (none within this lens → the single line: FINDINGS: none)
+PROOF: read <n> files, inspected <what>, checked plan §<…>
+```
+
+`FATAL(n)` if ANY `[BLOCKER]` (n = count of BLOCKER + MAJOR). `CONCERNS(n)` if
+`[MAJOR]` present but no BLOCKER (n = count of MAJOR). `SOLID` if neither.
+
+## RULES
+
+- Report-only. Never edit, write, or implement — naming the flaw precisely is
+  the whole job.
+- No invention — ungrounded is noise. Silently dropping a grounded doubt is
+  equally a failure: file it as `[MINOR]` with the uncertainty stated in
+  `WHY:`. Nothing real at all → `SOLID` with `FINDINGS: none`.
+- `PROOF` is MANDATORY. A verdict without a `PROOF` line is a structural failure
+  the orchestrator discards.
+- Stay in your lens. A finding outside it belongs to another challenger.
+- The verdict grammar is load-bearing: exactly one
+  `CHALLENGE — LENS: … — VERDICT:` line, spelled as above. `ERROR(<reason>)`
+  (STEP 1's missing/unreadable-plan verdict) is part of the grammar: it
+  carries only the `PLAN:` line — no FINDINGS, no PROOF — and the
+  orchestrator treats it as a dispatcher-side failure, not a challenge result.
+
+## ORCHESTRATOR PROTOCOL (consumer contract — wiring reference)
+
+How an orchestrator runs the plan-challenge phase (the loop + synthesis live in
+the MAIN loop, never here):
+
+- Dispatch THREE fresh challengers IN PARALLEL, one per lens
+  (correctness / robustness / simplicity), each blind to the others.
+- MODEL (BDR-076, supersedes the BDR-066 inherit): plan critique is AUDIT
+  JUDGMENT, not a procedural gate — the challenger is `model: opus`-pinned in
+  its frontmatter (big tier, session-independent; the session model stays on
+  the inline loop). Never `model: "sonnet"` — a silent judgment downgrade.
+  (Contrast the verifier, Sonnet-pinned only because it is oracle-anchored to a
+  contract.)
+- FAIL-SAFE — never fail open: a malformed/empty verdict, a missing `PROOF`, or
+  a dead challenger → retry ONCE fresh; a 2nd failure → escalate to the human and
+  NAME the lens. Never report "plan challenged" on a silently dropped lens (same
+  discipline as verify-secure-loop: "a mute verifier is NEVER a PASS").
+- SEVERITY-DRIVEN synthesis: any `[BLOCKER]` from ANY single lens is
+  must-address — the lenses are orthogonal, so a lone security/rollback finding
+  is real, never outvoted by lens-count. Cross-lens agreement only RANKS the MINORs.
+- CLOSE each BLOCKER with a NAMED, diffable plan change — never a self-authored
+  "addressed" line. A BLOCKER consciously kept is tagged `[deferred <date>]` for
+  the human to accept at the gate.
+- RE-CHALLENGE ONCE if synthesis materially changed the plan (a fix can open a
+  new flaw); max 1 extra pass, then the human gate.
+- ADVISORY: the revised plan + a challenge summary (raised / addressed /
+  deferred / any lens that failed to return) feed the orchestrator's existing
+  human gate. The human decides — this is not a hard block.

+  - `ABANDONED(n)` → direct human gate, never a dev loop. The human either
+    lifts the abandonment (the criterion was fixable after all) or accepts
+    the partial delivery; the run is never reported as fully complete.
   - Structural failure (`ERROR(…)`, missing/duplicated VERDICT line,
     unparsable output, agent crash, `CONFORME` without `PROOF`) → retry
     ONCE with a fresh verifier; a 2nd structural failure → human

-# Deploy Skill — Implementation Plan
-
-> **Superseded by BDR-054** (`52f6678`): the shipped skill has NO `NEXT.sh` file and NO
-> AskUserQuestion hand-back — see `skills/deploy/SKILL.md` for current behavior. This
-> plan is kept as historical record; do not implement its NEXT.sh/hand-back sections.
-
-> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
-
-**Goal:** Build a `deploy` skill — a per-project shell runbook that re-instantiates from the delta since the last deploy, hands control to the user for out-of-band execution, resumes cold (even in a new session), and learns from deploy errors in place.
-
-**Architecture:** A surgical-commit helper (`lib/deploy-commit.sh`, allowlist-scoped to `.claude/deploy/`) is the foundation. Five per-project artifacts under `.claude/deploy/` carry runbook, incident ledger, deploy oracle, in-flight bridge, and the instantiated checklist. The skill is a two-moment SKILL.md (before → user deploys out-of-band → after, on the user's report), resumable cold from the JSON bridge per the `audit-delta` state-file convention. Bootstrap scaffolds the runbook for a project that has none.
-
-**Tech Stack:** Bash (helper + git), Markdown (SKILL.md + runbook + ledger), JSON (oracle + bridge). No new runtime deps — Claude reads JSON natively in skill steps; the helper never parses JSON.
-
-## Global Constraints
-
-- Surgical commits only: `deploy-commit.sh` commits via explicit argv pathspec, never `git add -A`. (mirror BDR-034/036)
-- Allowlist scope = `.claude/deploy/` ONLY; any other path is a loud rc-4 refusal. Inverse of `doc-commit.sh`'s `.claude/**` exclusion (BDR-022). Verified: real `doc-commit.sh` returns rc 4 on `.claude/deploy/PROCEDURE.md`.
-- Delta = `git diff --name-only <base_sha> HEAD` — **explicit two endpoints, no dots** (two-dot ≡ this; three-dot undercounts — verified). Never `git rev-list` ancestry (phantom deltas on rebase — verified).
-- First-deploy detection = `[ -f .claude/deploy/STATE.json ]` (deterministic). NEVER `git describe` (hard-errors rc 128 on no tag — verified).
-- Resume convention = `audit-delta`: "the state file is the only memory between runs; never infer prior scope from context." Bridge read at STEP 0.
-- Helper inherits from `lib/memory-commit.sh`/`lib/doc-commit.sh`: rc 3 on unsafe git state (detached/merge/rebase/cherry-pick), short-hash on stdout only on a real commit, per-file changed-paths filter, diagnostics to stderr.
-- User executes the deploy out-of-band (prod ssh) — the skill NEVER runs deploy commands itself.
-- Registries/spec language English; the spec of record is `docs/specs/2026-06-27-deploy-skill-design.md`.
-

-
-## Decisions resolved at plan time
-
-**§10 (cross-session state) — TRANCHÉ: separate bridge artifact.**
-- Bridge = `.claude/deploy/PENDING.json` (JSON), **distinct from the ephemeral `NEXT.sh`**, **uncommitted** (transient local working state; gitignored). Schema:
-  ```json
-  { "base_sha": "<deployed STATE sha>", "target_sha": "<HEAD at instantiation>",
-    "delta": ["supabase/migrations/0033_x.sql", "docker-compose.yml"],
-    "step_reached": "awaiting-user", "started_at": "<ISO-8601>", "runbook_rev": "<PROCEDURE.md commit sha>" }
-  ```
-- Follows `audit-delta` ("state file is the only memory between runs"). Resolves the n°1↔n°3 coupling: NEXT.sh stays ephemeral per §3; the bridge persists and carries base+target+delta so moment 3 lays the correct marker and capitalizes the correct incident — **without re-parsing shell**, readable cold.
-- Form-novelty (mid-flow pause-resume) is new → `writing-skills` formalizes the convention in Task 3.
-- **LIMIT (acknowledged, not to be discovered):** `PENDING.json` is gitignored ⇒ cold-resume is **same-machine only** — it does not survive a clone or a move to another machine. Acceptable because a project's deploys run from one local; recorded as a constraint, not assumed away.
-
-**§8 item 1 — tag push:** annotated tag `git tag -a deploy/<YYYY-MM-DD> <target_sha> -m "<summary>"` laid in MARK (success). **Project knob `# @config push_deploy_tags=true|false`** in the `PROCEDURE.md` header (default `false`): when true, MARK runs `git push origin deploy/<date>` — always **best-effort/non-fatal** (the push never blocks the deploy; tag is a bookmark, STATE.json is the oracle). Same-day re-deploy → suffix `-N`.
-
-**§8 item 2 — INCIDENTS ID/name:** `.claude/deploy/INCIDENTS.md`, append-only, entries `DEP-NNN` (next = `grep '^## DEP-' | max+1`), fields mirror `blockers.md`: date, step, error (verbatim), root cause, fix. Resolution derivable from git: the commit that adds the entry IS the fix (atomic patch+incident); recover via `git log -S 'DEP-NNN' -- .claude/deploy/INCIDENTS.md`. Name confirmed `INCIDENTS.md` (not `ERRORS-LEARNED.md`).
-
-**§8 item 3 — `@delta:` grammar:** directives on a runbook step's preceding comment line, patterns matched against the delta file list. `glob=` carries TWO required semantics (a single "checklist-only" reading was REJECTED — it breaks the game example, where step 3 runs `psql -f 0033` THEN `psql -f 0034` = one command PER file):
-- `# @delta:<name> glob=<pat>:each` — **repeat**: emit the step's command once per delta file matching `<pat>` (e.g. `psql -f <each>`).
-- `# @delta:<name> glob=<pat>:list` — **checklist**: emit the command once, with matching files as `# VERIFY:` items (e.g. `supabase migration up`).
-- `# @delta:<name> when=<pat>[,<pat>...]` — **conditional**: include the step only if the delta intersects any pattern (e.g. rebuild when compose/Dockerfile changed).
-- Patterns are git-pathspec/shell-glob; comma-separates alternatives. **Un-annotated step = fixed**, always emitted verbatim. The exact `:each`/`:list` keyword spelling is DEFERRED to `writing-skills` (Task 3); both semantics are mandatory.
-
-**§8 item 4 — frontmatter / gates:**
-```yaml
-name: deploy
-description: |
-  Use when deploying a project via its per-project runbook — instantiates the
-  delta since last deploy, hands off for out-of-band execution, resumes cold,
-  learns from errors.
-  Triggers: "deploy", "déploie", "run the deploy", "ship to prod", "deploy runbook".
-allowed-tools: [Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob, AskUserQuestion]
-```
-Gate vocabulary reused from `capitalize`/`client-handover`: `all / pick <IDs> / edit <ID> / skip-all`. Gates marked **[GATE]** in Task 3.

-### Task 2: Artifacts + bridge formats (§10 materialized)
-
-**Files:**
-- Create: `templates/deploy/PROCEDURE.md`, `templates/deploy/INCIDENTS.md`
-- Modify: `.gitignore`
-
-**Interfaces:**
-- Produces: the on-disk shapes the skill reads/writes — `PROCEDURE.md` annotation grammar, `INCIDENTS.md` `DEP-NNN` template, `STATE.json` and `PENDING.json` schemas.
-- Consumes: nothing.
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Write `templates/deploy/PROCEDURE.md`** (annotated starter — fixed steps verbatim, dynamic steps annotated)
-
-```bash
-#!/usr/bin/env bash
-# === deploy runbook (reference) — NOT run directly. Instantiated to NEXT.sh per delta. ===
-# Fixed steps run every deploy; `# @delta:` steps re-instantiate from the delta.
-# @config push_deploy_tags=false
-# NOTE grammar: glob=<pat>:each repeats the command per matching file (e.g. psql -f <each>);
-#               glob=<pat>:list runs once + lists matching files as VERIFY items; when=<pat,...> is conditional.
-
-# 1) backup BEFORE any forward-only migration
-ssh "$DEPLOY_HOST" 'pg_dump "$DB" > ~/backups/pre-deploy-$(date +%F-%H%M).sql'   # VERIFY: dump size > 0
-
-# @delta:migrations glob=supabase/migrations/*.sql:list
-# 2) apply NEW migrations (one command; skill lists the delta migrations to VERIFY)
-ssh "$DEPLOY_HOST" 'supabase migration up'                                       # VERIFY: "Applied" for each

-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Write `templates/deploy/INCIDENTS.md`** (ledger header)
-
-```markdown
-# Deploy incidents (append-only) — DEP-NNN
-
-<!-- One entry per incident. Next ID = grep '^## DEP-' | max+1. Mirrors blockers.md. -->
-<!-- Resolution = the commit that adds this entry (atomic patch+incident). Recover: git log -S 'DEP-NNN' -- .claude/deploy/INCIDENTS.md -->
-<!-- ## DEP-NNN — <step> failed

-     - error: `<verbatim error>`
-     - cause: <root cause>
-     - fix: <what changed in PROCEDURE.md> -->
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Record the JSON schemas** (no parsing in shell — Claude reads them in skill steps)
-
-`STATE.json` (committed oracle, overwritten on success):
-```json
-{ "deployed_sha": "<sha>", "deployed_at": "<ISO-8601>", "outcome": "ok",
-  "tag": "deploy/<YYYY-MM-DD>" }
-```
-`PENDING.json` (gitignored bridge, deleted on success): schema as in "Decisions resolved at plan time / §10".
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Update `.gitignore`**
-
-```gitignore
-# deploy: transient per-deploy state (the runbook/ledger/oracle ARE committed)
-.claude/deploy/NEXT.sh
-.claude/deploy/PENDING.json
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 5: Verify templates are well-formed**
-
-Run: `bash -n templates/deploy/PROCEDURE.md && grep -c '^# @delta:' templates/deploy/PROCEDURE.md`

-### Task 3: `skills/deploy/SKILL.md` — the two-moment skill (REQUIRES writing-skills)
-
-> **At this task, invoke `superpowers:writing-skills`** to shape SKILL.md to house conventions AND to formalize the **cross-session cold-resume** form (deploy's defining novelty; `audit-delta` is the state-file precedent, `client-handover` only an in-context pause). The step behaviors below are the contract; writing-skills governs structure/frontmatter/spine.
-
-**Files:**
-- Create: `skills/deploy/SKILL.md`
-
-**Interfaces:**
-- Consumes: `lib/deploy-commit.sh` (Task 1); artifact shapes (Task 2).
-- Produces: the runtime behavior. STEP spine below.
-
-**STEP spine (each = a SKILL.md section; [GATE] = mandatory stop):**
-
-- [ ] **STEP 0 — PRE-FLIGHT + RESUME BRANCH.** Read `.claude/deploy/PENDING.json` FIRST (state file = only memory between runs).
-  - `PENDING.json` present → **RESUME**: jump to STEP 3 with its `{base, target, delta, step_reached}` (do not recompute).
-  - else `PROCEDURE.md` absent → **BOOTSTRAP** (Task 4).
-  - else → FRESH: continue STEP 1.
-- [ ] **STEP 1 — DELTA.** `base = STATE.json.deployed_sha` (or, if `STATE.json` absent, first-deploy = full runbook). `git diff --name-only <base> HEAD` → delta file list. `target = git rev-parse HEAD`.
-- [ ] **STEP 2 — INSTANTIATE + [GATE].** Expand `PROCEDURE.md`: emit fixed steps verbatim; expand `@delta:glob=…:each` steps by repeating the command per matching delta file, and `@delta:glob=…:list` steps once with matching files as `# VERIFY:` items; include `@delta:when=` steps only if the delta intersects. Read `INCIDENTS.md` and prepend matching `# PRE-WARN: DEP-NNN …` notes. Write `NEXT.sh`. **[GATE]** present `NEXT.sh` → `all / edit / skip-all`. On approve: write `PENDING.json` (`step_reached: awaiting-user`), then **hand back** (AskUserQuestion: "Run NEXT.sh step by step. Report back: Deployed OK / Failed at step X / Not yet").
-- [ ] **STEP 3 — RESUME / REACT** (entry point on the user's report; may be a fresh session).
-  - "Deployed OK" → STEP 5.
-  - "Failed at step X: <err>" → STEP 4.
-  - "Not yet" → re-state pending, stop.
-- [ ] **STEP 4 — LEARN + [GATE] + ATOMIC COMMIT.** Diagnose. Draft: (a) in-place `PROCEDURE.md` patch to step X; (b) `INCIDENTS.md` append `DEP-NNN` (error verbatim). **[GATE]** `all / pick / edit / skip-all` (significant edit). On approve: write both, then **one atomic** `bash lib/deploy-commit.sh commit "docs(deploy): patch <step> — recovered from <err>" .claude/deploy/PROCEDURE.md .claude/deploy/INCIDENTS.md`. The commit that adds `DEP-NNN` IS its resolution (derive via git later). Then bump `PENDING.json.runbook_rev` to the new `PROCEDURE.md` commit sha (keep `step_reached` at X). **Resume = REGENERATE `NEXT.sh` from `step_reached` against the PATCHED runbook** (steps X…end — X+1…end never ran), NOT replay a single step. The bumped `runbook_rev` is exactly the trigger: runbook changed ⇒ prior `NEXT.sh` is stale ⇒ regenerate. Re-present via STEP 2's hand-back.
-- [ ] **STEP 5 — MARK (success).** Write `STATE.json` (`deployed_sha = PENDING.target_sha`, outcome ok, tag). `git tag -a deploy/<date> <target> -m "<summary>"`; **if `@config push_deploy_tags=true`** then `git push origin deploy/<date>` (best-effort, non-fatal). `bash lib/deploy-commit.sh commit "chore(deploy): mark <date> @ <short>" .claude/deploy/STATE.json`. **Delete `PENDING.json`** (+ `NEXT.sh`). Report.
-
-- [ ] **Verification scenarios** (dry-run walkthroughs, no prod):
-  - First deploy (no `STATE.json`): full runbook fires; STATE laid; PENDING deleted.
-  - Delta deploy: only changed-bucket steps instantiate; `git diff` form is `<base> HEAD`.
-  - **Cold resume**: write a `PENDING.json` by hand, start `deploy` in a *fresh* context → STEP 0 detects it, resumes at STEP 3 from disk alone (no conversation memory).
-  - Failure→learn: report "failed at step X" → patch + DEP append committed atomically (one sha, both files).
-- [ ] **Commit:** `git add skills/deploy/SKILL.md && git commit -m "feat(deploy): two-moment cross-session skill (resumes cold from PENDING.json)"`

-
-### Task 4: Bootstrap (project without a runbook)
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `skills/deploy/SKILL.md` (STEP 0 BOOTSTRAP branch)
-
-**Interfaces:**
-- Consumes: `templates/deploy/*` (Task 2); STEP spine (Task 3).
-
-- [ ] **Step 1 — BOOTSTRAP branch + [GATE].** When `PROCEDURE.md` absent, offer two paths (AskUserQuestion):
-  - **Paste** — user provides an existing runbook → adopt verbatim, then propose `@delta:` annotations for migration/build/deps steps.
-  - **Scaffold** — detect artifacts (`supabase/migrations/`, `docker-compose*.yml`/`Dockerfile`, `package.json`/lockfiles, `.env*`) + short interview (ssh host, backup cmd, health URL, rollback note) → fill `templates/deploy/PROCEDURE.md`.
-  - **[GATE]** present drafted `PROCEDURE.md` → `all / edit / skip-all`. On approve: write `PROCEDURE.md` + empty `INCIDENTS.md`; `bash lib/deploy-commit.sh commit "feat(deploy): bootstrap runbook" .claude/deploy/PROCEDURE.md .claude/deploy/INCIDENTS.md`. First deploy then proceeds (no STATE.json ⇒ full runbook).
-- [ ] **Step 2 — Verify:** dry-run on a repo with `supabase/migrations/` + `docker-compose.yml` present → scaffold proposes migration + rebuild steps annotated; on a bare repo → interview-only path.
-- [ ] **Commit:** `git add skills/deploy/SKILL.md && git commit -m "feat(deploy): bootstrap — paste-or-scaffold initial runbook"`

-## Gates identified

-- **[GATE] STEP 2** — approve instantiated `NEXT.sh` before hand-back.
-- **[GATE] STEP 4** — approve runbook patch + `DEP-NNN` incident before the atomic learning commit.
-- **[GATE] STEP 0/Task 4** — approve scaffolded `PROCEDURE.md` before first write.
-- **Hand-back (STEP 2→3)** — AskUserQuestion is the resume point; the user executes out-of-band.
-- **Task gates** — each Task ends test-green + shellcheck-clean + committed before the next (deps: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4).

-## Self-review
-
-- **Spec coverage:** 4 artifacts + bridge (§3/§10) → Task 2; STATE-oracle + `<base> HEAD` delta (§4) → Task 1 constraints + STEP 1; runbook+INCIDENTS learning, atomic couple (§5) → STEP 4; `deploy-commit.sh` inverse allowlist (§6) → Task 1; bootstrap (§7) → Task 4; two-moment cold resume (§10) → STEP 0/2/3 + PENDING.json. All §8 items resolved above. ✓
-- **Placeholder scan:** none — helper code, test code, schemas, annotation grammar all concrete.
-- **Type consistency:** `STATE.json.deployed_sha` (STEP 1 base, STEP 5 write), `PENDING.json.{base_sha,target_sha,delta,step_reached}` (STEP 0 read, STEP 2 write, STEP 4 update), `deploy-commit.sh commit "<msg>" <file>...` (Tasks 1/3/4) — names align.
-- **Open at execution (not assumed):** the `writing-skills` consultation in Task 3 may rename/restructure SKILL.md sections to match the formalized cold-resume convention, and finalizes the `@delta:` `:each`/`:list` keyword spelling (both semantics mandatory); STEP behaviors and the §6 helper contract above are fixed regardless.
-
-## Execution Handoff
-
-Build order is strict by dependency: **Task 1 (helper, foundation) → Task 2 (formats) → Task 3 (skill, writing-skills) → Task 4 (bootstrap)**.

-# Deploy skill — design spec
-
-> **Superseded by BDR-054** (`52f6678`): the shipped skill has NO `NEXT.sh` file and NO
-> AskUserQuestion hand-back — see `skills/deploy/SKILL.md` for current behavior. This
-> spec is kept as historical record; do not implement its NEXT.sh/hand-back sections.
-
-- **Date:** 2026-06-27
-- **Status:** Design approved (5 knobs settled). **No skill code written yet.** Next step = implementation plan.
-- **Scope:** A new `deploy` skill = a per-project shell RUNBOOK that lives in `.claude/deploy/`, gets re-instantiated from the delta since the last deploy, and LEARNS from deploy errors in place.
-
-## 1. Vision — deployment memory that learns
-
-Three moments:
-
-1. **BEFORE** — produce the *instantiated* runbook: reference runbook + delta since last deploy, parameterized steps rewritten with the real artifacts (e.g. the migration step lists the migrations actually added since last deploy, not the runbook's examples).
-2. **DURING** — the **user executes out-of-band** (prod ssh — Claude must not run it) and reports `deployed and tested` OR `failed at step X, here is the error` → fix together until success.
-3. **AFTER** — on confirmed success: (a) if errors were hit + fixed, update the reference runbook so the next deploy does not repeat them; (b) lay the marker "deployed up to here" for the next diff.
-
-Structural ancestor in the corpus: `client-handover` (BEFORE baseline → DURING user-deploy gate via `AskUserQuestion` → AFTER validate + react). No existing skill owns a learning per-project runbook — clean gap, no `.claude/deploy/` precedent.
-
-## 2. Locked decisions
-
-| # | Knob | Decision |
-|---|------|----------|
-| 1 | Marker / oracle | **STATE file is the oracle** (deployed SHA), **annotated tag** added as a human bookmark only |
-| 2 | Learning storage | **In-place runbook edits + append-only `INCIDENTS.md`** (distinct jobs, atomic coupling) |
-| 3 | Parameterization | **`# @delta:` annotations** bind dynamic steps to path-patterns; un-annotated steps are fixed |
-| 4 | Bootstrap | **Offer both** — user pastes an existing runbook OR skill scaffolds via artifact detection + interview |
-| 5 | Execution model | **`NEXT.sh` is a step-by-step CHECKLIST** — runnable shell, but driven by hand with manual `# VERIFY:` gates; never `bash NEXT.sh` unattended |
-
-**Why #5 is design-time, not impl:** the execution model is load-bearing for moments 2 and 3. Moment 2 is defined as "user reports *failed at step X*", and moment 3's LEARN loop must know *which* step failed to patch it. A single `bash NEXT.sh` blob collapses both into "exited non-zero somewhere" and can strand a prod deploy (migrations, restarts) in partial state with no step control. Checklist is *entailed* by the three-moment structure, not merely safer.
-
-Treated as settled corollaries: user executes out-of-band; a **new** `lib/deploy-commit.sh` helper (existing helpers cannot commit the runbook — see §6, verified).
-
-## 3. Architecture
-
-```
-.claude/deploy/
-  PROCEDURE.md   reference runbook — fixed shell + `# @delta:` annotated steps   (edited IN-PLACE)
-  INCIDENTS.md   DEP-NNN incident ledger: date, step, error verbatim, root cause,
-                 fix (APPEND-ONLY; resolution = introducing commit, derive via git)
-  STATE.json     deployed SHA + timestamp + outcome — the diff oracle             (overwritten each deploy)
-  NEXT.sh        instantiated runbook — EPHEMERAL, not committed ; run STEP-BY-STEP
-                 (checklist, manual # VERIFY: gates) — never `bash NEXT.sh` unattended
-
-lib/deploy-commit.sh   surgical commit, allowlist = .claude/deploy/ , rc3 unsafe-git guard, short-hash stdout
-
-Skill STEP spine (PRE-FLIGHT -> PROPOSE+GATE -> WRITE+COMMIT, house style):
-  0 PRE-FLIGHT  runbook present?  absent -> bootstrap (paste | scaffold+interview)
-  1 DELTA       STATE absent -> first deploy = full runbook ; else diff <STATE_SHA> HEAD
-  2 INSTANTIATE expand @delta steps + read INCIDENTS pre-warns -> NEXT.sh -> GATE
-  3 (user executes out-of-band; reports "done" | "failed at step X: <err>")
-  4 LEARN       on failure: patch PROCEDURE step + append DEP-NNN -> GATE -> deploy-commit (ATOMIC)
-  5 MARK        on success: write STATE@sha ; annotate + push tag ; optional doc
-```
-
-## 4. Delta mechanism — verified (git 2.53.0)
-
-All three facts re-run live before writing this spec; observed output recorded, not assumed.
-
-**First-deploy detection = STATE-absent, deterministic. `describe` is off the detection path.**
-```
-[ -f .claude/deploy/STATE.json ]            => exit 1 (absent = first deploy)  <- THE detector
-git describe --tags --match 'deploy/*' => fatal: No names found ; exit 128 <- only the reason NOT to use describe
-[ -f .claude/deploy/STATE.json ]            => exit 0 (present = delta path)
-```
-
-**Delta = `git diff --name-only <STATE_SHA> HEAD`** (two explicit endpoints; no dots, so it cannot be misread as three-dot).
-```
-LINEAR   git diff --name-only <sha> HEAD   => 0033_new.sql, svc.yml   (== two-dot == three-dot; merge-base == STATE)
-DIVERGED two-dot   sideA sideB             => fileA.txt, fileB.txt     (both endpoints = true tree delta)
-DIVERGED three-dot sideA...sideB           => fileB.txt                (merge-base — UNDERCOUNTS)
-```
-Two-dot/explicit-endpoints is the literal tree difference between the deployed tree and HEAD = what deploy needs. It is also rebase-robust: an orphaned marker still yields the correct tree diff, whereas `git rev-list A..B` (ancestry) reports phantom deltas after history rewrite (LRN-054's trap; verified in an earlier run). **Never use `rev-list` ancestry for the artifact list.**
-
-**delta -> steps:** `# @delta:<kind>` annotations bind a dynamic step to the path-pattern that feeds it; the diff buckets straight into steps:
-```
-# @delta:migrations glob=supabase/migrations/*.sql
-# @delta:rebuild   when=docker-compose*.yml,Dockerfile
-# @delta:deps      when=package.json,*lock*
-```
-
-## 5. Learning model — runbook + INCIDENTS, non-redundant
-
-| Artifact | Job | Lifecycle |
-|---|---|---|
-| `PROCEDURE.md` | The corrected procedure you run. A fix is baked into the step so the next run cannot repeat it. | in-place |
-| `INCIDENTS.md` | The incident ledger; **read at BEFORE-time to pre-warn** ("0033 hit a lock timeout last deploy; runbook already carries `--timeout`, watch for it"). | append-only |
-
-The pre-warn read is the function `git log` serves badly — that is why the ledger is not duplication. This mirrors the memory system's own split (append-only `journal.md`/`blockers.md` alongside in-place TODO/code).
-
-**Coupling invariant:** one incident → **one in-place `PROCEDURE.md` patch + one `INCIDENTS.md` append, committed atomically in a single `deploy-commit.sh` call.** Never one without the other (mirrors BDR-034/036 "couple the commit to the integration step"). Significant patch (changes a prod path) → surface + approve before writing.
-
-## 6. `lib/deploy-commit.sh` — new helper, inverse `.claude/` rule (verified)
-
-Neither existing helper can commit the runbook — confirmed live:
-```
-REAL doc-commit.sh  .claude/deploy/PROCEDURE.md => rc 4 "REFUSED — out-of-scope ... BDR-022 ... NOTHING committed"
-REAL memory-commit.sh pending (deploy changed)  => rc 1 (ignores it; allowlist = .claude/memory|tasks only)
-```
-`doc-commit.sh` is built to keep `.claude/**` *out* of public-doc commits; `.claude/deploy/` is under `.claude/`, so reuse is not just blocked, it is semantically wrong. `deploy-commit.sh` needs the **inverse** rule: a TARGET allowlist for `.claude/deploy/*`, modeled on `memory-commit.sh` (rc 3 unsafe-git guard, short-hash on stdout, `chore(deploy):`/`docs(deploy):` messages).
-
-Allowlist guard — traversal reject ordered FIRST. Prototype matrix verified live:
-```sh
-_in_deploy_scope() {
-  case "$1" in
-    *..*) return 1 ;;                 # reject path traversal FIRST
-    .claude/deploy/*) return 0 ;;     # ALLOW the deploy family only
-    *) return 1 ;;                    # reject everything else
-  esac
-}
-```
-```
-ALLOW  .claude/deploy/{PROCEDURE.md,INCIDENTS.md,STATE}
-REJECT .claude/memory/*  .claude/tasks/*  .claude/secret  CLAUDE.md  src/*
-REJECT .claude/deploy            (bare dir, no slash)
-REJECT .claude/deploy-other/x    (trailing-slash requirement closes prefix confusion)
-REJECT .claude/deploy/../memory/secret   (traversal closed by *..* matched first)
-```
-
-## 7. Bootstrap
-
-`STEP 0 PRE-FLIGHT`: `PROCEDURE.md` present? Absent → bootstrap, two offered paths:
-1. **Paste** — user supplies an existing runbook (the game example); skill adopts + annotates it.
-2. **Scaffold** — skill detects deploy artifacts (migrations dir, compose/Dockerfile, package scripts, `.env`) + a short interview (ssh target, backup cmd, rollback note) → writes an annotated `PROCEDURE.md`.
-
-First deploy has no marker → STATE-absent ⇒ full runbook fires; then lay STATE at the deployed SHA. The first deploy *is* the creation of the runbook + the first marker.
-
-## 8. Open items (for the implementation plan)
-
-> `NEXT.sh` execution model resolved → decision #5 (checklist), promoted to design-time.
-
-- Tag push: tags don't push by default → AFTER step should `git push --tag deploy/<date>` or remind.
-- `INCIDENTS.md` ID/format detail (mirror `blockers.md` `DEP-NNN`); confirm name vs `ERRORS-LEARNED.md`.
-- `@delta:` annotation grammar (glob= vs when=) — finalize the small DSL.
-- Frontmatter `allowed-tools` set; STEP gate wording reuse from `capitalize`/`client-handover`.
-
-## 9. Build sequencing & a structural flag
-
-**Two distinct disciplines, in order — do not conflate:**
-1. `writing-plans` — global task ordering (helper → skill → bootstrap), dependencies, gates. The build plan.
-2. → execution →
-3. At the *skill* task ONLY: `writing-skills` — the discipline for the SKILL.md itself (structure, frontmatter, spine, config conventions). Used WHEN we reach the skill task, **not before** (it does not fire at plan time).
-
-**Structural flag for `writing-skills` to resolve — do NOT assume the linear-spine convention suffices:**
-deploy's spine is unusual — **two parts split by out-of-band execution**: STEP 0–2 before → *user deploys by hand* → STEP 4–5 after, on the `done`/`failed` report. A skill that **hands back control mid-run and resumes**.
-
-Preliminary recon (confirm at the skill task — NOT verified now):
-- The 6 completion flux (close, ship-feature, feat, bugfix, hotfix, commit-change) appear linear one-shot — synchronous gates at most, no out-of-band hand-back.
-- The relevant precedent is OUTSIDE those 6: `client-handover` already hands back — a synchronous "Deploy done?" `AskUserQuestion` pause (STEP 5) — but it holds state in *conversation context*, not on disk.
-- deploy's genuinely-new bit *may* be **disk-bridged resume** (`NEXT.sh` + `STATE` on disk as the bridge) — but **whether `NEXT.sh` alone suffices to resume cross-session is an OPEN design question, not a settled answer** (see §10). An earlier draft of this spec framed it as resolved; it is not. `writing-skills` must establish the convention (how to mark "I wait for your return here", detect + resume a pending deploy, hold state across the gap) — confirm there, do not assume the linear mould suffices.
-
-## 10. Open design question (DESIGN-TIME, unresolved) — state across the two moments
-
-deploy is a **two-moment skill**: moments 0–2 (BEFORE) → user deploys out-of-band → moment 3 (AFTER) on the `done`/`failed` report. **The report may arrive in a different session.** So the design must answer how state crosses the gap and what moment 3 must know to resume correctly.
-
-> **`skill deux-temps, état entre temps = [à concevoir : NEXT.sh seul suffit-il pour reprendre cross-session ?]`**
-
-Sub-questions (to settle when we resume — NOT now, NOT assumed):
-- **What must the bridge record?** Moment 3 must (a) lay the correct marker = `STATE ← target sha`, and (b) capitalize the correct incident (which step, which delta). HEAD may have moved since NEXT.sh was generated → "current HEAD" is unsafe. The bridge must persist at least **{base STATE sha, target sha, delta manifest}** — inside NEXT.sh (header block) or a sidecar (`.claude/deploy/PENDING`)? Undecided.
-- **Resume detection (re-entrancy):** STEP 0 PRE-FLIGHT must detect "a deploy is pending, awaiting your report" — likely *pending-bridge present + STATE not advanced to target* — and branch RESUME (ask done/failed) vs FRESH. Is moment 3 a new `deploy` call that re-detects from disk, or a `deploy --report`? Undecided.
-- **Ephemeral vs persistent tension — LINKED to sub-question 1 (not independent).** §3 calls NEXT.sh "EPHEMERAL, not committed", yet a cross-session bridge MUST survive on disk. So: **if the bridge must persist, NEXT.sh-as-bridge is impossible while NEXT.sh stays ephemeral.** Likely *binary* resolution at plan time — either (a) NEXT.sh becomes persistent (contradicts §3), or (b) the bridge is a **separate** "deploy-in-progress" artifact `{base/target/delta}` distinct from NEXT.sh. Settle with `writing-skills`. (Uncommitted local state is fine; note the single-machine assumption — an uncommitted bridge won't follow a clone.)
-- **Form-novelty — deploy's DEFINING characteristic: cross-session COLD resume.** `client-handover` is a *near* precedent, not exact: it hands back **in-context** (same conversation, state held in memory). deploy must resume with the **context lost** — so the **disk alone must carry everything to resume cold**. No existing skill resumes without context; that is what sets deploy apart, and it makes sub-question 1 **load-bearing** (disk must suffice for a cold restart). deploy likely introduces a NEW skill form → `writing-skills` establishes the convention. Confirm there.
-
-**Next step:** `writing-plans` to turn this spec into an implementation plan (helper first, then skill); at the skill task, `writing-skills` to shape it to convention and **resolve the §10 two-moment state question** — which is design-time, deferred only because we are stopped here, not because it is impl detail.

-# Model routing — reflection inline (big model) / execution pinned (Sonnet) — design
-
-**Date**: 2026-07-15 · **Status**: approved (user, 2026-07-15) · **Branch**: `feature/model-routing`
-**Lifecycle**: transient planning artifact (BDR-065) — committed during the run, deleted post-merge.
-
-## Principle
-
-The session model is assumed to be a big reasoning model (Fable 5, or Opus when
-Fable is unavailable). Everything that **thinks** — brainstorming, planning,
-technical decisions, audits, loop decisions — runs INLINE in the main
-conversation, or in subagents that inherit the session model. Everything that
-**executes** a ready-made plan — writing code, applying fix bundles, commits,
-deliverable rendering — runs on Sonnet-pinned subagents. A blocking gate
-enforces the "session = big model" assumption at the entry of every reflection
-orchestrator.
-
-User verdicts baked in (2026-07-14/15):
-- Scope = hybrid: ship-feature/init-project execution → sonnet; `/feat`
-  re-architected (plan inline → dispatch executor); bugfix/hotfix stay fully
-  inline (BDR-050 conserved for them).
-- Gate = BLOCKING, not advisory.
-- Audit agents inherit the session model (no opus pin); the gate extends to
-  audit orchestrators.
-- verifier + security-auditor KEEP `model: sonnet` (job9 decision confirmed).
-- client-handover-writer → sonnet (requires converting its inline-load to a
-  true dispatch; human gates relocate to the main loop).
-
-## 1. Blocking model gate
-
-New `lib/model-check.sh`: resolves the current session model from
-`settings.json` (physical path resolution — LRN-023 class), normalizes
-(`claude-fable-5[1m]` → fable, `claude-opus-*` → opus, sonnet, haiku), prints
-`big|small|unknown`. Exit 0 = big, 2 = small, 3 = unknown.
-
-New `lib/model-gate.md` snippet (same include pattern as `lib/design-gate.md`):
-run the check; `small` → STOP the skill: "session model is <X> — reflection
-requires Fable/Opus. Switch with /model, then relaunch." `unknown` →
-fail-visible: show the raw value, ask the user to confirm or abort (BDR-025
-doctrine — unknown never silently passes).
-
-Wired as a STEP 0 line in the reflection orchestrators:
-`ship-feature, init-project, feat, bugfix, onboard, seo, geo, web-validate,
-harden, audit-delta, tour, code-clean`.
-NOT wired in: `hotfix` (trivial by definition), `commit-change`, `doc`,
-`status`, `release-candidate`.
-
-Caveats to prove at implementation time:
-- `/model` mid-session rewrites settings.json (LRN-098 observed it once —
-  re-prove with a live flip-test before trusting the source).
-- The helper itself must be flip-tested (LRN-096: an unproven guard is a
-  vacuous guard).
-
-## 2. Frontmatter pins (`agents/*.md`)
-
-| Agent | Before | After | Rationale |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| feater | (inherit) | **sonnet** | executor as subagent: seo/geo L1 applier + new /feat dispatch |
-| hotfixer | (inherit) | **sonnet** | L1 applier (seo/geo/web-validate); /hotfix inline unaffected (pin inert on inline load) |
-| client-handover-writer | opus | **sonnet** | deliverable executor; pin becomes EFFECTIVE only with §5 dispatch conversion (today's opus pin is inert — the agent is inline-loaded) |
-| analyzer | haiku | **(none — inherit)** | analysis feeds the plan = reflection; runs big via the session model |
-| verifier | sonnet | keep | F1 confirmed (job9) |
-| security-auditor | sonnet | keep | F1 confirmed (job9) |
-| seo-analyzer, geo-analyzer, validator-analyzer | (inherit) | keep (inherit) | audit = reflection = session model; covered by the gate |
-| code-cleaner | (inherit) | keep (inherit) | audit phase = reflection; fixes hand off to refactorer (sonnet) via CODE-CLEAN-SCOPE.md (job9 H1) |
-| doc-syncer, onboarder, scaffolder, refactorer, interviewer, plugin-advisor | sonnet | keep | workers/executors |
-| status-reporter | haiku | keep | mechanical collector |
-| bugfixer, commit-changer | (inherit) | keep | inline-only playbooks — a pin would be inert |
-
-## 3. `/feat` re-architecture (partial supersede of BDR-050 — feat only)
-
-`skills/feat/SKILL.md` absorbs the reflection: analyze-before-plan, design
-gate, MINI-PLAN, contract (`lib/contract-interview.md`) — all inline. Then
-dispatches `Agent(subagent_type="feater")` (sonnet via pin) with: the
-contract, the plan, the branch name, repo conventions.
-
-`agents/feater.md` is rewritten as a pure executor: implement the plan to the
-letter, run project checks, commit (no attribution trailers), return a
-structured summary. No user interaction inside feater (subagents cannot ask) —
-every decision must be closed pre-dispatch.
-
-The verify-secure loop moves out of feater.md into the /feat main loop
-(LRN-083 invariant: loop decisions live in the main loop): fresh verifier →
-ECARTS → re-dispatch feater with the verdict deltas, bounded 3×; then the
-security gate. Escalation paths unchanged.
-
-## 4. SDD execution pinned (ship-feature STEP 4, init-project STEP 8)
-
-One instruction line in each SKILL.md: every implementation subagent
-dispatched under `superpowers:subagent-driven-development` MUST carry
-`model: "sonnet"` in the Agent call. No fork of the superpowers skill — the
-main loop emits the Agent calls and controls the params.
-
-## 5. client-handover conversion (inline-load → true dispatch)
-
-`skills/client-handover/SKILL.md`: collect params inline (URL, logo, options),
-then `Agent(subagent_type="client-handover-writer")` — the sonnet pin becomes
-effective. Human gates (per-axis threshold escalation, overrides) RELOCATE to
-the main loop: the writer returns a structured `GATE NEEDED` status instead of
-asking; the dispatcher asks the user and re-dispatches (or continues via
-SendMessage) with the decision. `AskUserQuestion` is removed from the writer's
-tools.
-
-OPEN VERIFY POINT: the writer's own nested dispatches (seo/harden re-runs as
-general-purpose subagents) — verify at implementation what nested children
-inherit (session model vs parent model). If they inherit the sonnet parent,
-the re-run audits violate the principle → force the model explicitly in those
-nested dispatches or lift them to the main loop.
-
-## 6. web-validate fixes → L1 applier
-
-STEP 3 stops applying fixes via inline Edit; dispatches `hotfixer` (sonnet)
-with the fix bundle — same pattern as seo/geo (BDR-061 alignment).
-
-## 7. Memory / doc / tests
-
-- New BDR: model-routing principle (reflection inline big / executors sonnet /
-  blocking gate); partial supersede of BDR-050 (feat only); records F1
-  (verifier/security stay sonnet) and the analyzer haiku→inherit change.
-- README: agent-model table refresh. CHANGELOG Unreleased entry.
-- Tests: flip-tests for `model-check.sh` (fable[1m] / opus / sonnet / garbage
-  fixtures); gate STOP proven on a small-model fixture (LRN-096); /feat smoke
-  on a throwaway repo (LRN-079): plan inline → dispatch carries sonnet →
-  verify loop decided in main loop; grep census: no executor dispatch without
-  an effective pin.
-
-## Out of scope / accepted deviations
-
-- `/doc` and `/commit-change` stay inline on the session model (judgment and
-  execution interleaved; converting them buys little). Revisit under quota
-  pressure.
-- bugfix/hotfix fully inline (BDR-050 conserved).
-- No per-agent "fable-else-opus" fallback exists in the harness — the session
-  model IS the fallback mechanism; the gate is its backstop.
-
-## Risks
-
-- Model strings in settings.json may change shape with CC updates →
-  model-check must return `unknown` (fail-visible), never guess.
-- feater as a subagent loses main-conversation context → the plan becomes the
-  contract; weak plans cost verify-loop iterations. Mitigation:
-  contract-interview stays mandatory in /feat.
-- Nested model inheritance under client-handover-writer unknown → §5 verify
-  point.

+# Challenge the plan — shared orchestrator include
+
+Runs in the ORCHESTRATOR MAIN LOOP after a plan / reflection is elaborated and
+BEFORE it is executed. Turns a fresh plan into a hardened one by attacking it
+from three independent angles, then RE-THINKING every aspect a challenger lands.
+Loop + synthesis decisions live here, in the main loop (BDR-066: reflection runs
+on the big model; `verify-secure-loop.md`: fresh blind gates, decisions in the
+loop). It never merges, executes, or edits code — it hardens the plan and hands
+it to the orchestrator's existing human gate.
+
+The challenge is ADVISORY into that gate — no new hard block — but a BLOCKER is
+never silently carried past: it is either closed by a NAMED plan change or
+explicitly deferred for the human.
+
+## Inputs the caller must have ready
+
+- `PLAN`: path to the plan ON DISK. If your plan is still inline (a printed
+  checklist / diagnosis / fix plan), FIRST persist it to
+  `.claude/tasks/plans/<date>-<slug>-<HHMM>.md` — the challengers read from disk
+  and judge blind, exactly like the verifier reads the contract.
+- `KIND`: `build-plan` | `proposals` | `fix-bundle` — tunes the lens framing
+  below; the mechanism is identical.
+- `SCOPE`: the files/dirs the plan touches (grounds the critique).
+- `CONSTRAINTS` (optional): the decided trade-offs / rejected alternatives from
+  the design step, so a lens does not re-litigate a settled choice.
+
+Nominal path is cheap for a small, clean plan: three parallel challengers return
+SOLID, synthesis is a no-op. It only costs more when a lens lands a real finding
+— which is the point.
+
+## DISPATCH — three fresh challengers, in parallel, blind
+
+Dispatch THREE fresh `plan-challenger` subagents IN PARALLEL, one per LENS, each
+blind to the others and to this conversation:
+
+```
+Agent(subagent_type="plan-challenger", description="challenge:<lens>", prompt="""
+  PLAN: <the PLAN path>
+  LENS: <correctness | robustness | simplicity>   # one per agent — all three
+  SCOPE: <SCOPE>
+  CONSTRAINTS: <CONSTRAINTS, if any>
+""")
+```
+
+**MODEL (BDR-076, supersedes the BDR-066 inherit):** plan critique is AUDIT
+JUDGMENT — the challengers are `model: opus`-pinned in their frontmatter: a big
+tier, session-independent, off the session model. The session model (Fable)
+keeps only this loop — synthesis, RE-THINK, gate. Never sonnet: that would
+silently downgrade the judgment. (The executor gates stay sonnet.)
+
+**Lens framing by `KIND`** (the agent's three lenses, read against the artifact):
+- `build-plan` — will it WORK / will it BREAK / is it needlessly COMPLEX.
+- `proposals` — are these the RIGHT items & priorities / what did the audit MISS
+  or under-rate as risk / is the backlog over- or under-scoped.
+- `fix-bundle` — will each fix ACHIEVE its goal / could it BREAK or regress the
+  page / is there a simpler fix, or an unnecessary one.
+
+## FAIL-SAFE — never fail open
+
+A challenger that returns a malformed/empty verdict, a missing `PROOF`, or dies →
+retry ONCE with a fresh challenger; a 2nd failure on that lens → STOP and escalate
+to the human, NAMING the lens. Never carry "plan challenged" into the gate on a
+silently dropped lens (`verify-secure-loop.md`: "a mute verifier is NEVER a PASS").
+
+## SYNTHESIZE + RE-THINK (main loop, big model)
+
+Parse each `CHALLENGE — LENS: … — VERDICT:` line and merge the FINDINGS:
+
+- **Severity-driven, not consensus.** Any `[BLOCKER]` from ANY single lens is
+  must-address — the lenses are orthogonal, so a lone security/rollback finding
+  is real, never outvoted by lens-count. Cross-lens agreement only RANKS the MINORs.
+- **RE-THINK the aspect the challenge pointed at.** For each BLOCKER (and each
+  MAJOR you accept): revise the plan on THAT aspect — a NAMED, diffable change to
+  the plan, never a self-authored "addressed" line. A BLOCKER you consciously keep
+  is tagged `[deferred <date>]` for the human to accept at the gate.
+- **Re-challenge once if the plan materially changed** — a fix can open a new
+  flaw. Re-persist the revised `PLAN`, dispatch ONE fresh confirmation challenger,
+  max 1 extra pass, then the gate.
+
+## OUTPUT — into the existing human gate
+
+Feed the orchestrator's gate:
+- the REVISED plan, and
+- a CHALLENGE SUMMARY: each BLOCKER raised → the named change that closed it;
+  anything `[deferred]`; and any lens that failed to return.
+
+The human remains the decider.

+
+Give such a criterion an indented `CHECK:` (the command), `EXPECT:` (a
+success-only marker), and `EVIDENCE: pending`.
+`bash ~/.claude/lib/gates.sh run <contract>` executes it fail-closed — MET

+as fact instead of trusting the executor's report (GATE 0 in
+`lib/verify-secure-loop.md`).
+
+Both attributes or neither. `CHECK:` without `EXPECT:` is a parse error, not
+a manual criterion — the runner refuses the whole ledger. Leave a criterion
+oracle-free when no command can decide it; the verifier judges those.
+
+Four authoring rules — a gate that cannot fail proves nothing:
+
+1. **Observe the named artifact.** The check reads the file, service, or
+   measurement the criterion's own words name — never a proxy for it.
+   `1. invoices reconcile` + `CHECK: echo ok` is valid and worthless.
+2. **Success-only marker.** The script runs every assertion, exits nonzero
+   on any failure, and prints the `EXPECT:` string only after all pass.
+3. **Positive control before any absence check.** Run the same logic against
+   a fixture known to trip it and confirm it fails. A missing file, a wrong
+   path, and a broken pattern all look exactly like valid absence.
+4. **Recompute supplied numbers.** Never copy a figure from the request into
+   `EXPECT:` — the script derives it from source and prints its own marker.
+   A number that is its own proof proves nothing.
+
+`CHECK:` is shell code run with our privileges. It is safe only because we
+author it in our own repo — never build one out of externally-supplied text
+(a scraped URL, a client string); route those through `lib/url-guard.sh`.

+#
+#   bash ~/.claude/lib/gates.sh status <contract>   # parse only, never runs
+#   bash ~/.claude/lib/gates.sh run    <contract>   # execute + write evidence

+# rc 0 = MET       every runnable criterion passed, no abandonment standing
+#    2 = UNMET     a runnable criterion failed, or the ledger is malformed
+#    3 = ABANDONED runnable criteria all passed, an abandonment still stands
+#
+# WHY: GATE 1 (lib/verify-secure-loop.md) is an LLM dispatch, and the
+# verifier's mandatory `PROOF:` line is a line the verifier WRITES — nothing
+# structurally stops it from being produced without anything being executed.
+# This runs what the contract declares BEFORE a verifier is ever spawned: a
+# red floor sends the executor back for free. Adapted from the `unlazy` skill
+# (Leonxlnx/unlazy) — its gate ledger, minus the machinery we do not need.
+#
+# `run` always re-executes every runnable criterion, including ones already
+# recorded MET. Trusting written evidence is exactly the failure this closes,
+# so there is no incremental mode to get it wrong with.
+#
+# TRUST BOUNDARY: `CHECK:` is shell code, run with this process's privileges
+# and environment. That is safe here only because the contract is authored by
+# our own orchestrator in our own repo — which is why there is no approval
+# store (we never execute ledgers inherited from a foreign repo). NEVER build

+Runs in the CONSUMER'S MAIN LOOP. The detection and the reasoning are
+dispatched (BDR-077 tiers); the validation checkpoint, the report
+presentation, and the apply gate live HERE — a dispatched agent can neither
+ask the user nor safely mutate plugin state.
+
+## 1. PROBE (dispatch — sonnet)
+
+```
+Agent(subagent_type="plugin-probe", description="plugin gate — probe",
+      prompt="Run your probes from <PROJECT_ROOT>. Emit the PROBE REPORT.")
+```
+
+## 2. VALIDATION CHECKPOINT (main loop — between probe and reasoner)
+
+Validate the PROBE REPORT before any reasoning:
+- `EXTERNAL` non-empty AND each listed plugin's directory appears under
+  `CHECKPOINT plugin-dirs`.
+- At least one project signal present (MANIFESTS / FRAMEWORK-DEPS /
+  TSX-JSX-COUNT > 0 / DOCKER-COUNT > 0 / EMBEDDED hits). Else print
+  `⚠️ No project signals detected — recommendations will be conservative.`
+  and continue.
+- `CHECKPOINT toggle-script=UNAVAILABLE` → print `⚠️ toggle script
+  unavailable — recommendations will be advisory only, no auto-activation.`
+  and SKIP step 5 (apply) entirely.
+- PROBE REPORT missing/unparsable → retry the probe ONCE fresh; a 2nd
+  failure → STOP and surface (never reason over invented detection).
+
+## 3. REASON (dispatch — opus)
+
+```
+Agent(subagent_type="plugin-advisor", description="plugin gate — reason",
+      prompt="""
+REQUEST: <the user's request / project description, verbatim>
+PROBE REPORT (ground truth — do not re-detect):
+<the full PROBE REPORT from step 1>
+""")
+```
+
+## 4. PRESENT + BLOCKING GATE (main loop)
+
+Show the returned PLUGIN CHECK block.
+- `ACTION REQUIRED? YES` → offer: A) fix plugins B) type "force". STOP until
+  answered.
+- OK → print `✅ Plugin check passed — [active plugins] — complexity: <score>%`.
+
+## 5. APPLY GATE (main loop — only when the flow auto-activates)
+
+If any plugin has ⚡ ENABLE status:
+1. List the changes:
+   ```
+   PROPOSED CHANGES:
+     ⚡ Enable ui-ux-pro-max (frontend detected, complexity 65%)
+     ⚡ Pre-fetch ctx7 docs for next.js, prisma
+   Apply these changes? (yes / no / customize)
+   ```
+2. "yes" → apply via the exact commands the advisor emitted. "customize" →
+   user picks. "no" → proceed with current config.
+
+**Never auto-activate without showing the list and getting confirmation.**
+
+### Rollback on partial failure
+
+Track each toggle; roll back the partial set rather than leave a
+half-applied configuration:
+
+```bash
+applied=()
+for change in "${PROPOSED_CHANGES[@]}"; do
+  if bash "$HOME/.claude/lib/toggle-external.sh" enable "$change"; then
+    applied+=("$change")
+  else
+    echo "❌ failed to enable $change — rolling back ${#applied[@]} prior change(s)"

+        || echo "⚠️ rollback of $prior also failed — manual cleanup required: see ~/.claude/plugins/cache"
+    done
+    exit 1
+  fi
+done
+```
+
+Surface: `✅ Applied N change(s).` — or on failure:
+
+```
+⚠️ Toggle failed at change <name>. Rolled back the N prior change(s).
+   To inspect manually: ls ~/.claude/plugins/cache; bash ~/.claude/lib/toggle-external.sh list

-description: This skill encodes Emil Kowalski's philosophy on UI polish, component design, animation decisions, and the invisible details that make software feel great.

-
-# Design Engineering
-
-## Initial Response
-
-When this skill is first invoked without a specific question, respond only with:
-
-> I'm ready to help you build interfaces that feel right, my knowledge comes from Emil Kowalski's design engineering philosophy. If you want to dive even deeper, check out Emil’s course: [animations.dev](https://animations.dev/).
-
-Do not provide any other information until the user asks a question.
-
-You are a design engineer with the craft sensibility. You build interfaces where every detail compounds into something that feels right. You understand that in a world where everyone's software is good enough, taste is the differentiator.
-
-## Core Philosophy
-
-### Taste is trained, not innate
-
-Good taste is not personal preference. It is a trained instinct: the ability to see beyond the obvious and recognize what elevates. You develop it by surrounding yourself with great work, thinking deeply about why something feels good, and practicing relentlessly.
-
-When building UI, don't just make it work. Study why the best interfaces feel the way they do. Reverse engineer animations. Inspect interactions. Be curious.
-
-### Unseen details compound
-
-Most details users never consciously notice. That is the point. When a feature functions exactly as someone assumes it should, they proceed without giving it a second thought. That is the goal.
-
-> "All those unseen details combine to produce something that's just stunning, like a thousand barely audible voices all singing in tune." - Paul Graham
-
-Every decision below exists because the aggregate of invisible correctness creates interfaces people love without knowing why.
-
-### Beauty is leverage
-
-People select tools based on the overall experience, not just functionality. Good defaults and good animations are real differentiators. Beauty is underutilized in software. Use it as leverage to stand out.
-
-## Review Format (Required)
-
-When reviewing UI code, you MUST use a markdown table with Before/After columns. Do NOT use a list with "Before:" and "After:" on separate lines. Always output an actual markdown table like this:
-
-| Before | After | Why |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `transition: all 300ms` | `transition: transform 200ms ease-out` | Specify exact properties; avoid `all` |
-| `transform: scale(0)` | `transform: scale(0.95); opacity: 0` | Nothing in the real world appears from nothing |
-| `ease-in` on dropdown | `ease-out` with custom curve | `ease-in` feels sluggish; `ease-out` gives instant feedback |
-| No `:active` state on button | `transform: scale(0.97)` on `:active` | Buttons must feel responsive to press |
-| `transform-origin: center` on popover | `transform-origin: var(--radix-popover-content-transform-origin)` | Popovers should scale from their trigger (not modals — modals stay centered) |
-
-Wrong format (never do this):
-
-```
-Before: transition: all 300ms
-After: transition: transform 200ms ease-out
-────────────────────────────
-Before: scale(0)
-After: scale(0.95)
-```
-
-Correct format: A single markdown table with | Before | After | Why | columns, one row per issue found. The "Why" column briefly explains the reasoning.
-
-## The Animation Decision Framework
-
-Before writing any animation code, answer these questions in order:
-
-### 1. Should this animate at all?
-
-**Ask:** How often will users see this animation?
-
-| Frequency                                                   | Decision                     |
-| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
-| 100+ times/day (keyboard shortcuts, command palette toggle) | No animation. Ever.          |
-| Tens of times/day (hover effects, list navigation)          | Remove or drastically reduce |
-| Occasional (modals, drawers, toasts)                        | Standard animation           |
-| Rare/first-time (onboarding, feedback forms, celebrations)  | Can add delight              |
-
-**Never animate keyboard-initiated actions.** These actions are repeated hundreds of times daily. Animation makes them feel slow, delayed, and disconnected from the user's actions.
-
-Raycast has no open/close animation. That is the optimal experience for something used hundreds of times a day.
-
-### 2. What is the purpose?
-
-Every animation must have a clear answer to "why does this animate?"
-
-Valid purposes:
-
-- **Spatial consistency**: toast enters and exits from the same direction, making swipe-to-dismiss feel intuitive
-- **State indication**: a morphing feedback button shows the state change
-- **Explanation**: a marketing animation that shows how a feature works
-- **Feedback**: a button scales down on press, confirming the interface heard the user
-- **Preventing jarring changes**: elements appearing or disappearing without transition feel broken
-
-If the purpose is just "it looks cool" and the user will see it often, don't animate.
-
-### 3. What easing should it use?
-
-Is the element entering or exiting?
-  Yes → ease-out (starts fast, feels responsive)
-  No →
-    Is it moving/morphing on screen?
-      Yes → ease-in-out (natural acceleration/deceleration)
-    Is it a hover/color change?
-      Yes → ease
-    Is it constant motion (marquee, progress bar)?
-      Yes → linear
-    Default → ease-out
-
-**Critical: use custom easing curves.** The built-in CSS easings are too weak. They lack the punch that makes animations feel intentional.
-
-```css
-/* Strong ease-out for UI interactions */
---ease-out: cubic-bezier(0.23, 1, 0.32, 1);
-
-/* Strong ease-in-out for on-screen movement */
---ease-in-out: cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1);
-
-/* iOS-like drawer curve (from Ionic Framework) */
---ease-drawer: cubic-bezier(0.32, 0.72, 0, 1);
-```
-
-**Never use ease-in for UI animations.** It starts slow, which makes the interface feel sluggish and unresponsive. A dropdown with `ease-in` at 300ms _feels_ slower than `ease-out` at the same 300ms, because ease-in delays the initial movement — the exact moment the user is watching most closely.
-
-**Easing curve resources:** Don't create curves from scratch. Use [easing.dev](https://easing.dev/) or [easings.co](https://easings.co/) to find stronger custom variants of standard easings.
-
-### 4. How fast should it be?
-
-| Element                  | Duration      |
-| ------------------------ | ------------- |
-| Button press feedback    | 100-160ms     |
-| Tooltips, small popovers | 125-200ms     |
-| Dropdowns, selects       | 150-250ms     |
-| Modals, drawers          | 200-500ms     |
-| Marketing/explanatory    | Can be longer |
-
-**Rule: UI animations should stay under 300ms.** A 180ms dropdown feels more responsive than a 400ms one. A faster-spinning spinner makes the app feel like it loads faster, even when the load time is identical.
-
-### Perceived performance
-
-Speed in animation is not just about feeling snappy — it directly affects how users perceive your app's performance:
-
-- A **fast-spinning spinner** makes loading feel faster (same load time, different perception)
-- A **180ms select** animation feels more responsive than a **400ms** one
-- **Instant tooltips** after the first one is open (skip delay + skip animation) make the whole toolbar feel faster
-
-The perception of speed matters as much as actual speed. Easing amplifies this: `ease-out` at 200ms _feels_ faster than `ease-in` at 200ms because the user sees immediate movement.
-
-## Spring Animations
-
-Springs feel more natural than duration-based animations because they simulate real physics. They don't have fixed durations — they settle based on physical parameters.
-
-### When to use springs
-
-- Drag interactions with momentum
-- Elements that should feel "alive" (like Apple's Dynamic Island)
-- Gestures that can be interrupted mid-animation
-- Decorative mouse-tracking interactions
-
-### Spring-based mouse interactions
-
-Tying visual changes directly to mouse position feels artificial because it lacks motion. Use `useSpring` from Motion (formerly Framer Motion) to interpolate value changes with spring-like behavior instead of updating immediately.
-
-```jsx
-import { useSpring } from 'framer-motion';
-
-// Without spring: feels artificial, instant
-const rotation = mouseX * 0.1;
-
-// With spring: feels natural, has momentum
-const springRotation = useSpring(mouseX * 0.1, {
-  stiffness: 100,
-  damping: 10,
-});
-```
-
-This works because the animation is **decorative** — it doesn't serve a function. If this were a functional graph in a banking app, no animation would be better. Know when decoration helps and when it hinders.
-
-### Spring configuration
-
-**Apple's approach (recommended — easier to reason about):**
-
-```js
-{ type: "spring", duration: 0.5, bounce: 0.2 }
-```
-
-**Traditional physics (more control):**
-
-```js
-{ type: "spring", mass: 1, stiffness: 100, damping: 10 }
-```
-
-Keep bounce subtle (0.1-0.3) when used. Avoid bounce in most UI contexts. Use it for drag-to-dismiss and playful interactions.
-
-### Interruptibility advantage
-
-Springs maintain velocity when interrupted — CSS animations and keyframes restart from zero. This makes springs ideal for gestures users might change mid-motion. When you click an expanded item and quickly press Escape, a spring-based animation smoothly reverses from its current position.
-
-## Component Building Principles
-
-### Buttons must feel responsive
-
-Add `transform: scale(0.97)` on `:active`. This gives instant feedback, making the UI feel like it is truly listening to the user.
-
-```css
-.button {
-  transition: transform 160ms ease-out;
-}
-
-.button:active {
-  transform: scale(0.97);
-}
-```
-
-This applies to any pressable element. The scale should be subtle (0.95-0.98).
-
-### Never animate from scale(0)
-
-Nothing in the real world disappears and reappears completely. Elements animating from `scale(0)` look like they come out of nowhere.
-
-Start from `scale(0.9)` or higher, combined with opacity. Even a barely-visible initial scale makes the entrance feel more natural, like a balloon that has a visible shape even when deflated.
-
-```css
-/* Bad */
-.entering {
-  transform: scale(0);
-}
-
-/* Good */
-.entering {
-  transform: scale(0.95);
-  opacity: 0;
-}
-```
-
-### Make popovers origin-aware
-
-Popovers should scale in from their trigger, not from center. The default `transform-origin: center` is wrong for almost every popover. **Exception: modals.** Modals should keep `transform-origin: center` because they are not anchored to a specific trigger — they appear centered in the viewport.
-
-```css
-/* Radix UI */
-.popover {
-  transform-origin: var(--radix-popover-content-transform-origin);
-}
-
-/* Base UI */
-.popover {
-  transform-origin: var(--transform-origin);
-}
-```
-
-Whether the user notices the difference individually does not matter. In the aggregate, unseen details become visible. They compound.
-
-### Tooltips: skip delay on subsequent hovers
-
-Tooltips should delay before appearing to prevent accidental activation. But once one tooltip is open, hovering over adjacent tooltips should open them instantly with no animation. This feels faster without defeating the purpose of the initial delay.
-
-```css
-.tooltip {
-  transition: transform 125ms ease-out, opacity 125ms ease-out;
-  transform-origin: var(--transform-origin);
-}
-
-.tooltip[data-starting-style],
-.tooltip[data-ending-style] {
-  opacity: 0;
-  transform: scale(0.97);
-}
-
-/* Skip animation on subsequent tooltips */
-.tooltip[data-instant] {
-  transition-duration: 0ms;
-}
-```
-
-### Use CSS transitions over keyframes for interruptible UI
-
-CSS transitions can be interrupted and retargeted mid-animation. Keyframes restart from zero. For any interaction that can be triggered rapidly (adding toasts, toggling states), transitions produce smoother results.
-
-```css
-/* Interruptible - good for UI */
-.toast {
-  transition: transform 400ms ease;
-}
-
-/* Not interruptible - avoid for dynamic UI */
-@keyframes slideIn {
-  from {
-    transform: translateY(100%);
-  }
-  to {
-    transform: translateY(0);
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Use blur to mask imperfect transitions
-
-When a crossfade between two states feels off despite trying different easings and durations, add subtle `filter: blur(2px)` during the transition.
-
-**Why blur works:** Without blur, you see two distinct objects during a crossfade — the old state and the new state overlapping. This looks unnatural. Blur bridges the visual gap by blending the two states together, tricking the eye into perceiving a single smooth transformation instead of two objects swapping.
-
-Combine blur with scale-on-press (`scale(0.97)`) for a polished button state transition:
-
-```css
-.button {
-  transition: transform 160ms ease-out;
-}
-
-.button:active {
-  transform: scale(0.97);
-}
-
-.button-content {
-  transition: filter 200ms ease, opacity 200ms ease;
-}
-
-.button-content.transitioning {
-  filter: blur(2px);
-  opacity: 0.7;
-}
-```
-
-Keep blur under 20px. Heavy blur is expensive, especially in Safari.
-
-### Animate enter states with @starting-style
-
-The modern CSS way to animate element entry without JavaScript:
-
-```css
-.toast {
-  opacity: 1;
-  transform: translateY(0);
-  transition: opacity 400ms ease, transform 400ms ease;
-
-  @starting-style {
-    opacity: 0;
-    transform: translateY(100%);
-  }
-}
-```
-
-This replaces the common React pattern of using `useEffect` to set `mounted: true` after initial render. Use `@starting-style` when browser support allows; fall back to the `data-mounted` attribute pattern otherwise.
-
-```jsx
-// Legacy pattern (still works everywhere)
-useEffect(() => {
-  setMounted(true);
-}, []);
-// <div data-mounted={mounted}>
-```
-
-## CSS Transform Mastery
-
-### translateY with percentages
-
-Percentage values in `translate()` are relative to the element's own size. Use `translateY(100%)` to move an element by its own height, regardless of actual dimensions. This is how Sonner positions toasts and how Vaul hides the drawer before animating in.
-
-```css
-/* Works regardless of drawer height */
-.drawer-hidden {
-  transform: translateY(100%);
-}
-
-/* Works regardless of toast height */
-.toast-enter {
-  transform: translateY(-100%);
-}
-```
-
-Prefer percentages over hardcoded pixel values. They are less error-prone and adapt to content.
-
-### scale() scales children too
-
-Unlike `width`/`height`, `scale()` also scales an element's children. When scaling a button on press, the font size, icons, and content scale proportionally. This is a feature, not a bug.
-
-### 3D transforms for depth
-
-`rotateX()`, `rotateY()` with `transform-style: preserve-3d` create real 3D effects in CSS. Orbiting animations, coin flips, and depth effects are all possible without JavaScript.
-
-```css
-.wrapper {
-  transform-style: preserve-3d;
-}
-
-@keyframes orbit {
-  from {
-    transform: translate(-50%, -50%) rotateY(0deg) translateZ(72px) rotateY(360deg);
-  }
-  to {
-    transform: translate(-50%, -50%) rotateY(360deg) translateZ(72px) rotateY(0deg);
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### transform-origin
-
-Every element has an anchor point from which transforms execute. The default is center. Set it to match where the trigger lives for origin-aware interactions.
-
-## clip-path for Animation
-
-`clip-path` is not just for shapes. It is one of the most powerful animation tools in CSS.
-
-### The inset shape
-
-`clip-path: inset(top right bottom left)` defines a rectangular clipping region. Each value "eats" into the element from that side.
-
-```css
-/* Fully hidden from right */
-.hidden {
-  clip-path: inset(0 100% 0 0);
-}
-
-/* Fully visible */
-.visible {
-  clip-path: inset(0 0 0 0);
-}
-
-/* Reveal from left to right */
-.overlay {
-  clip-path: inset(0 100% 0 0);
-  transition: clip-path 200ms ease-out;
-}
-.button:active .overlay {
-  clip-path: inset(0 0 0 0);
-  transition: clip-path 2s linear;
-}
-```
-
-### Tabs with perfect color transitions
-
-Duplicate the tab list. Style the copy as "active" (different background, different text color). Clip the copy so only the active tab is visible. Animate the clip on tab change. This creates a seamless color transition that timing individual color transitions can never achieve.
-
-### Hold-to-delete pattern
-
-Use `clip-path: inset(0 100% 0 0)` on a colored overlay. On `:active`, transition to `inset(0 0 0 0)` over 2s with linear timing. On release, snap back with 200ms ease-out. Add `scale(0.97)` on the button for press feedback.
-
-### Image reveals on scroll
-
-Start with `clip-path: inset(0 0 100% 0)` (hidden from bottom). Animate to `inset(0 0 0 0)` when the element enters the viewport. Use `IntersectionObserver` or Framer Motion's `useInView` with `{ once: true, margin: "-100px" }`.
-
-### Comparison sliders
-
-Overlay two images. Clip the top one with `clip-path: inset(0 50% 0 0)`. Adjust the right inset value based on drag position. No extra DOM elements needed, fully hardware-accelerated.
-
-## Gesture and Drag Interactions
-
-### Momentum-based dismissal
-
-Don't require dragging past a threshold. Calculate velocity: `Math.abs(dragDistance) / elapsedTime`. If velocity exceeds ~0.11, dismiss regardless of distance. A quick flick should be enough.
-
-```js
-const timeTaken = new Date().getTime() - dragStartTime.current.getTime();
-const velocity = Math.abs(swipeAmount) / timeTaken;
-
-if (Math.abs(swipeAmount) >= SWIPE_THRESHOLD || velocity > 0.11) {
-  dismiss();
-}
-```
-
-### Damping at boundaries
-
-When a user drags past the natural boundary (e.g., dragging a drawer up when already at top), apply damping. The more they drag, the less the element moves. Things in real life don't suddenly stop; they slow down first.
-
-### Pointer capture for drag
-
-Once dragging starts, set the element to capture all pointer events. This ensures dragging continues even if the pointer leaves the element bounds.
-
-### Multi-touch protection
-
-Ignore additional touch points after the initial drag begins. Without this, switching fingers mid-drag causes the element to jump to the new position.
-
-```js
-function onPress() {
-  if (isDragging) return;
-  // Start drag...
-}
-```
-
-### Friction instead of hard stops
-
-Instead of preventing upward drag entirely, allow it with increasing friction. It feels more natural than hitting an invisible wall.
-
-## Performance Rules
-
-### Only animate transform and opacity
-
-These properties skip layout and paint, running on the GPU. Animating `padding`, `margin`, `height`, or `width` triggers all three rendering steps.
-
-### CSS variables are inheritable
-
-Changing a CSS variable on a parent recalculates styles for all children. In a drawer with many items, updating `--swipe-amount` on the container causes expensive style recalculation. Update `transform` directly on the element instead.
-
-```js
-// Bad: triggers recalc on all children
-element.style.setProperty('--swipe-amount', `${distance}px`);
-
-// Good: only affects this element
-element.style.transform = `translateY(${distance}px)`;
-```
-
-### Framer Motion hardware acceleration caveat
-
-Framer Motion's shorthand properties (`x`, `y`, `scale`) are NOT hardware-accelerated. They use `requestAnimationFrame` on the main thread. For hardware acceleration, use the full `transform` string:
-
-```jsx
-// NOT hardware accelerated (convenient but drops frames under load)
-<motion.div animate={{ x: 100 }} />
-
-// Hardware accelerated (stays smooth even when main thread is busy)
-<motion.div animate={{ transform: "translateX(100px)" }} />
-```
-
-This matters when the browser is simultaneously loading content, running scripts, or painting. At Vercel, the dashboard tab animation used Shared Layout Animations and dropped frames during page loads. Switching to CSS animations (off main thread) fixed it.
-
-### CSS animations beat JS under load
-
-CSS animations run off the main thread. When the browser is busy loading a new page, Framer Motion animations (using `requestAnimationFrame`) drop frames. CSS animations remain smooth. Use CSS for predetermined animations; JS for dynamic, interruptible ones.
-
-### Use WAAPI for programmatic CSS animations
-
-The Web Animations API gives you JavaScript control with CSS performance. Hardware-accelerated, interruptible, and no library needed.
-
-```js
-element.animate([{ clipPath: 'inset(0 0 100% 0)' }, { clipPath: 'inset(0 0 0 0)' }], {
-  duration: 1000,
-  fill: 'forwards',
-  easing: 'cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1)',
-});
-```
-
-## Accessibility
-
-### prefers-reduced-motion
-
-Animations can cause motion sickness. Reduced motion means fewer and gentler animations, not zero. Keep opacity and color transitions that aid comprehension. Remove movement and position animations.
-
-```css
-@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
-  .element {
-    animation: fade 0.2s ease;
-    /* No transform-based motion */
-  }
-}
-```
-
-```jsx
-const shouldReduceMotion = useReducedMotion();
-const closedX = shouldReduceMotion ? 0 : '-100%';
-```
-
-### Touch device hover states
-
-```css
-@media (hover: hover) and (pointer: fine) {
-  .element:hover {
-    transform: scale(1.05);
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Touch devices trigger hover on tap, causing false positives. Gate hover animations behind this media query.
-
-## The Sonner Principles (Building Loved Components)
-
-These principles come from building Sonner (13M+ weekly npm downloads) and apply to any component:
-
-1. **Developer experience is key.** No hooks, no context, no complex setup. Insert `<Toaster />` once, call `toast()` from anywhere. The less friction to adopt, the more people will use it.
-
-2. **Good defaults matter more than options.** Ship beautiful out of the box. Most users never customize. The default easing, timing, and visual design should be excellent.
-
-3. **Naming creates identity.** "Sonner" (French for "to ring") feels more elegant than "react-toast". Sacrifice discoverability for memorability when appropriate.
-
-4. **Handle edge cases invisibly.** Pause toast timers when the tab is hidden. Fill gaps between stacked toasts with pseudo-elements to maintain hover state. Capture pointer events during drag. Users never notice these, and that is exactly right.
-
-5. **Use transitions, not keyframes, for dynamic UI.** Toasts are added rapidly. Keyframes restart from zero on interruption. Transitions retarget smoothly.
-
-6. **Build a great documentation site.** Let people touch the product, play with it, and understand it before they use it. Interactive examples with ready-to-use code snippets lower the barrier to adoption.
-
-### Cohesion matters
-
-Sonner's animation feels satisfying partly because the whole experience is cohesive. The easing and duration fit the vibe of the library. It is slightly slower than typical UI animations and uses `ease` rather than `ease-out` to feel more elegant. The animation style matches the toast design, the page design, the name — everything is in harmony.
-
-When choosing animation values, consider the personality of the component. A playful component can be bouncier. A professional dashboard should be crisp and fast. Match the motion to the mood.
-
-### The opacity + height combination
-
-When items enter and exit a list (like Family's drawer), the opacity change must work well with the height animation. This is often trial and error. There is no formula — you adjust until it feels right.
-
-### Review your work the next day
-
-Review animations with fresh eyes. You notice imperfections the next day that you missed during development. Play animations in slow motion or frame by frame to spot timing issues that are invisible at full speed.
-
-### Asymmetric enter/exit timing
-
-Pressing should be slow when it needs to be deliberate (hold-to-delete: 2s linear), but release should always be snappy (200ms ease-out). This pattern applies broadly: slow where the user is deciding, fast where the system is responding.
-
-```css
-/* Release: fast */
-.overlay {
-  transition: clip-path 200ms ease-out;
-}
-
-/* Press: slow and deliberate */
-.button:active .overlay {
-  transition: clip-path 2s linear;
-}
-```
-
-## Stagger Animations
-
-When multiple elements enter together, stagger their appearance. Each element animates in with a small delay after the previous one. This creates a cascading effect that feels more natural than everything appearing at once.
-
-```css
-.item {
-  opacity: 0;
-  transform: translateY(8px);
-  animation: fadeIn 300ms ease-out forwards;
-}
-
-.item:nth-child(1) {
-  animation-delay: 0ms;
-}
-.item:nth-child(2) {
-  animation-delay: 50ms;
-}
-.item:nth-child(3) {
-  animation-delay: 100ms;
-}
-.item:nth-child(4) {
-  animation-delay: 150ms;
-}
-
-@keyframes fadeIn {
-  to {
-    opacity: 1;
-    transform: translateY(0);
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Keep stagger delays short (30-80ms between items). Long delays make the interface feel slow. Stagger is decorative — never block interaction while stagger animations are playing.
-
-## Debugging Animations
-
-### Slow motion testing
-
-Play animations at reduced speed to spot issues invisible at full speed. Temporarily increase duration to 2-5x normal, or use browser DevTools animation inspector to slow playback.
-
-Things to look for in slow motion:
-
-- Do colors transition smoothly, or do you see two distinct states overlapping?
-- Does the easing feel right, or does it start/stop abruptly?
-- Is the transform-origin correct, or does the element scale from the wrong point?
-- Are multiple animated properties (opacity, transform, color) in sync?
-
-### Frame-by-frame inspection
-
-Step through animations frame by frame in Chrome DevTools (Animations panel). This reveals timing issues between coordinated properties that you cannot see at full speed.
-
-### Test on real devices

-## Review Checklist
-
-When reviewing UI code, check for:
-
-| Issue                                      | Fix                                                              |
-| ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `transition: all`                          | Specify exact properties: `transition: transform 200ms ease-out` |
-| `scale(0)` entry animation                 | Start from `scale(0.95)` with `opacity: 0`                       |
-| `ease-in` on UI element                    | Switch to `ease-out` or custom curve                             |
-| `transform-origin: center` on popover      | Set to trigger location or use Radix/Base UI CSS variable (modals are exempt — keep centered) |
-| Animation on keyboard action               | Remove animation entirely                                        |
-| Duration > 300ms on UI element             | Reduce to 150-250ms                                              |
-| Hover animation without media query        | Add `@media (hover: hover) and (pointer: fine)`                  |
-| Keyframes on rapidly-triggered element     | Use CSS transitions for interruptibility                         |
-| Framer Motion `x`/`y` props under load     | Use `transform: "translateX()"` for hardware acceleration        |
-| Same enter/exit transition speed           | Make exit faster than enter (e.g., enter 2s, exit 200ms)         |
-| Elements all appear at once                | Add stagger delay (30-80ms between items)                        |

+## STEP 7b — CHALLENGE THE PROPOSALS (before the human gate)
+The 4 audit files are on disk; `AUDIT_PROPOSALS.md` is the artifact worth
+attacking before the human spends a gate on it. Run
+`$HOME/.claude/lib/challenge-plan.md` with `PLAN` =
+`.claude/audits/AUDIT_PROPOSALS.md`, `KIND` = `proposals`, `SCOPE` = the audited
+project paths (the `audit_stack` coverage), `CONSTRAINTS` = the STEP 1 archetype
+profile + the STEP 3 interview constraints (stade, légal, budget perf). Three
+blind challengers ask whether these are the RIGHT priorities and what the audit
+under-rated; the main loop RE-THINKS every aspect a BLOCKER lands (a named
+proposals change re-written into `AUDIT_PROPOSALS.md`, or `[deferred <date>]`)
+and re-challenges once if the file materially changed. Feed the REVISED
+proposals + a CHALLENGE SUMMARY into STEP 8. Advisory — the human remains the
+decider.
