`fix-engine.mjs` carried its own copy of the valid `effortLevel` list, and
that copy had gone stale on `xhigh` (CC 2.1.154's top Opus tier) while
`settings-validator.mjs` had all five. The nearest-match "fix" therefore
corrected `xhig` — and `XHIGH` — to `high`: the tool silently changed the
tier the user asked for, in the one code path whose whole job is to write
the corrected value back to disk.
Fixed by sharing the validator's table instead of aligning the copy, so the
two cannot drift again. Guard asserts the blanket invariant — a one-character
near-miss on EVERY valid tier corrects back to that same tier — rather than
pinning the one level that happened to be missing; verified red against the
original stale array.
Suite 1488/0. Frozen v5.0.0 snapshots untouched.

Dogfooding `/config-audit fix` against a throwaway repo copy. All eight
predictions registered in the fasit before the run were confirmed, and three
further defects surfaced that were not predicted.
- M-BUG-21, third arm: the argument loop ended in `!arg.startsWith('-') =>
targetPath`, so an unknown flag was dropped and its value became the target.
In `fix` that is the WRITE target under `--apply`. Unknown options and a
value-less `--output-file` now exit 3.
- `--dry-run` was documented in the command's argument-hint and never
implemented; `--output-file` did not exist, so `commands/fix.md` told the
agent to Read a file nothing produced. Both now exist.
- M-BUG-31: `file-rename` was excluded from the backup set, so a renamed rule
file had no backup entry while the command promised one and returned a
backupId that could not restore it.
- M-BUG-32: `verifyFixes` hardcoded `includeGlobal: false`, so after a
`--global` run every untouched user-scope finding was reported as verified.
Reproduced against an unmodified ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md.
- M-BUG-29: a rename was applied before other fixes on the same file, which
then failed with ENOENT while the run still exited 0. Renames sort last.
- M-BUG-30: `severityOrder[s] || 4` maps critical (0) to 4, so critical fixes
sorted last. The old test used the same falsy fallback and agreed with the
bug. Now `?? 4`.
- A failed fix exits 2 instead of 0, matching the other scanners' convention.
Frozen tests/snapshots/v5.0.0/ untouched; --json/--raw stdout byte-identical.
Suite 1420/0 (+10).

HKV: add Setup, UserPromptExpansion, PostToolBatch to VALID_EVENTS,
verified live against code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks.md (2026-06-19). A
valid hook using one of these was wrongly flagged "will never fire" — a
user could delete a working hook. Made the "(N total)" hint dynamic so
it can't drift again. Flagged the unverified kebab 'post-session' in a
comment (an existing test depends on it; follow-up check needed).
RUL: reword the globs finding. Only `paths:` is documented; whether CC
ever read `globs` is unverified, so the old "deprecated/legacy" framing
overclaimed (Verifiseringsplikt). New wording steers to the documented
`paths:` field. Updated the coupled fix-engine title match and the
humanizer entry (which also carried the "field was renamed" overclaim).
Suite 950 -> 954 (badge bumped). self-audit A/A, scanner count 13. No
version bump — these land in the pending v5.4.1 patch.

Add /ultraresearch-local for structured research combining local codebase
analysis with external knowledge via parallel agent swarms. Produces research
briefs with triangulation, confidence ratings, and source quality assessment.
New command: /ultraresearch-local with modes --quick, --local, --external, --fg.
New agents: research-orchestrator (opus), docs-researcher, community-researcher,
security-researcher, contrarian-researcher, gemini-bridge (all sonnet).
New template: research-brief-template.md.
Integration: --research flag in /ultraplan-local accepts pre-built research
briefs (up to 3), enriches the interview and exploration phases. Planning
orchestrator cross-references brief findings during synthesis.
Design principle: Context Engineering — right information to right agent at
right time. Research briefs are structured artifacts in the pipeline:
ultraresearch → brief → ultraplan --research → plan → ultraexecute.
