Stale ~/.claude/plugins/cache versions polluted token-hotspots ranking and
inflated CNF duplicate-hook findings with config that loads on zero turns.
installPaths point INTO the cache, so a blunt "skip all of plugins/cache"
would drop ACTIVE plugins — the filter is therefore version-aware: it reads
the adjacent installed_plugins.json, keeps active version dirs, drops only
stale ones (and exposes them via discovery.staleCacheVersions for B3b).
- file-discovery: cacheVersionKey() + applyCacheFilter() (active vs stale via
installed_plugins.json; HOME-independent, derives the manifest from the cache
path); discoverConfigFiles/Multi gain { excludeCache } + staleCacheVersions.
Absent/unparseable manifest -> no filtering (never silently drop live config).
- token-hotspots-cli + scan-orchestrator: --exclude-cache (default ON for these
live-cost scans) / --no-exclude-cache restores the full walk.
- Tests: cacheVersionKey unit cases; stale-dropped/active-kept/no-manifest
discovery cases; CNF-drop proof (soft-spot verified, not assumed:
include=1 -> exclude=0 duplicate-hook findings).

Fase 4 token-opt, Item 1 of gap-review NEXT STEP #2. The prompt-cache pattern corpus + TOK scanner were frozen at an "Opus 4.7" framing after CC shipped Opus 4.8 (default, 2.1.154) and Fable 5 (2.1.170). Model-era facts re-verified against the official changelog cache before editing.
The patterns are properties of prompt-caching, not of any model, so mechanic text is now model-neutral with a single "current default: Opus 4.8" anchor — preventing a re-freeze at the next model bump.
- rename knowledge/opus-4.7-patterns.md -> prompt-cache-patterns.md (git mv, history preserved); 6 reference sites updated
- TOK scanner: line-318 finding text (human-facing) made model-neutral; header + cache-prefix-scanner + CLI comments refreshed
- configuration-best-practices.md body + footnote 4.7 -> 4.8
- human-facing docs: commands/{tokens,help,manifest}.md, project CLAUDE.md, README, docs/scanner-internals.md
- gap-matrix row marked DONE; future Items 2/3 retargeted to new filename
Failing-test-first (Iron Law): +2 knowledge staleness guards (era-anchor + no-refreeze) +1 scanner assertion (no stale model anchor in finding text). Suite 853 -> 856 green; zero snapshot drift; self-audit A(97) PASS. CHANGELOG / v5 plan / ratified gap-plan keep historical opus-4.7-patterns refs (correct record of past state).

Adds --raw flag to all 6 remaining CLIs and wires humanization into the
default rendering path. --json and --raw both bypass humanization for
v5.0.0 byte-equal output; default mode humanizes findings/diff/prose.
token-hotspots-cli: humanizes payload.findings before stdout JSON write.
plugin-health-scanner: humanizes finding titles in stderr brief summary;
--json/--raw write byte-identical v5.0.0-shape result to stdout.
drift-cli: humanizes diff.{newFindings,resolvedFindings,unchangedFindings,
movedFindings} before formatDiffReport; --raw applies to save and list
modes too. Baselines remain raw v5.0.0 on disk.
fix-cli: humanizes manual-finding titles in stderr fix-plan prose; both
--json and --raw produce identical machine-readable JSON to stdout.
manifest, whats-active: --raw is a no-op (no findings, inventory only)
but parsed for CLI surface consistency.
Decision on missing --output-file flag for drift-cli/fix-cli/plugin-health:
deferred. SC-6/SC-7 tests in Wave 4 will use stdout-redirect (the simpler
Alt B path) since these CLIs already write JSON to stdout in machine modes.
Test cli-humanizer.test.mjs covers all 6 CLIs. Three CLIs that read
environment state (plugin-health, manifest, whats-active) verify
mode-equivalence (--json == --raw) instead of frozen-snapshot byte-equal,
because their output reflects current marketplace state which drifts as
plugins are added since the Wave 0 capture.
Wave 3 / Step 7 of v5.1.0 humanizer.
