New GAP finding CA-GAP-028: authored subagents exist and not one of them names
`model:` or `effort:`, so every delegated task runs on the main conversation's
model (`model` defaults to `inherit`). Cites BP-MODEL-001/002, landed in C1.
`whats-active` and `manifest` now carry `model`/`effort` per agent.
Shipped as a conditional LEVER rather than a 25th dimension, and the choice was
made by measurement: as a t3 dimension the agent-less marketplace-medium fixture
would count it vacuously-present, moving the denominators 41->42 and utilization
44->45 — which flips `segment` "Developing"->"Competent" in the frozen v5.0.0
posture baseline, a field strip-retired-gap.mjs does not mask. A lever never
enters those denominators. The general rule is now an invariant in CLAUDE.md.
One check across both axes, not one per axis: it fires only when neither is used
anywhere, so a deliberate everything-on-one-model policy stays silent. Cost is
recall, chosen for precision.
Found by dogfooding, fixed red-first: `model: inherit` is the documented default
spelled out, so it must not count as routing — otherwise a config opts out of the
opportunity without changing anything real.
Two pre-existing defects surfaced and closed on the way:
- The humanizer guard asserted TRANSLATIONS.GAP.static EQUALS the dimension
titles, which forbade humanizing any lever — all three existing levers fell
through to the generic "feature opportunity" default, wrong for a budget lever.
Guard now requires coverage of every emittable title, seen red against those
three before the entries were written.
- Two hand-written copies of the lever list (finding-codes guard, humanizer
guard) merged into one exported LEVERS registry carrying code AND title.
- suppression-validation pinned CA-GAP-028 as an unoccupied number; C4 claimed
it. Fixed structurally with a derived first-free id, not by picking a new
literal — same class as #60's "bump this again".
Suite 1596/0. Frozen v5.0.0 snapshots untouched.

BREAKING CHANGE: the {NNN} in CA-{SCANNER}-{NNN} identifies the check that
produced the finding. It used to be the finding's position in that scanner's
output for that run, which made it unstable across CONFIGURATIONS, not just
across releases as STATE framed it. Measured on two fixtures: "No custom
subagents" was CA-GAP-007 on minimal-project and CA-GAP-004 on healthy-project.
A user who fixed an unrelated earlier gap silently renumbered every later one,
so a .config-audit-ignore pin retargeted to a neighbouring finding with no
version change at all.
Second measured arm: README already documented the opposite scheme. It and the
scanner headers describe ~20 numbers as check codes (CA-SKL-003 = oversized
body, CA-PLH-015 = folder shadowing, CA-TOK-006 = schema deferral), and the
counter could only produce those in the all-fire case -- source-order positions
are 4, 3 and 8. The documentation described the scheme; the implementation was
what was wrong. Every published number is preserved by construction and pinned
exhaustively in tests/lib/finding-codes.test.mjs.
scanners/lib/finding-codes.mjs is the single authority. Every finding() call
passes a `code`; an undeclared or missing one THROWS. No counter fallback --
that would reproduce D1's findGapId -> 'unknown' silent degradation and let a
half-converted scanner ship IDs that look valid. findingCounter/resetCounter
are deleted outright, not left as no-ops. Retirement is now a mechanism:
RETIRED_CODES tombstones a withdrawn key so its number is never reissued,
seeded with GAP t3_8 -- the D1 removal that opened this chunk.
IDs are consequently NOT unique per finding: one check failing in three files
emits three findings sharing an ID. That inverts which consumer is correct, so
every f.id/findingId site was classified before the change. diff-engine and
most of fix-engine already keyed on scanner+title+file (drift was never lying);
fix-engine's verification did not, and keyed on the ID alone -- fixing one of
two sibling instances marked both fixed, and the untouched one, still present
in the re-scan, was reported as a REGRESSION. Red test first, then keyed on
(findingId, file), which both planFixes and applyFixes already carry.
plugin-health's crossIds Set was measured and is a clean negative: cross
findings are allFindings.slice(crossPluginStart) and codes 18/19 are emitted
only in that tail, so the partition holds by construction.
unknownSuppressions() reports a pin that names no declared check, in the
--output-file payload (ux-rules rule 2 -- a stderr-only warning is invisible to
the commands) and only when one exists, so a clean config is byte-identical.
That is what makes the break safe: a stale pin goes loud instead of dying quiet.
Frozen tests/snapshots/v5.0.0/ untouched on disk. IDs are masked out of that
comparison (mask-finding-ids.mjs) rather than re-derived -- re-deriving
positional IDs would assert the retired scheme against itself, and #58's
isGapEntry off-by-one is the measured example of that misfiring. The dead
re-derivation is removed from strip-retired-gap.mjs. default-output snapshots
re-approved after confirming the diff is IDs and nothing else.
Guards, each seen red against its own defect: a missing code (scanner errors
out mid-sweep), an orphan declaration, a resurrected retired key, and a
documented ID naming no check. The sweep asserts the union across all 16
scanners, never per scanner -- a per-scanner assertion goes green on a partial
conversion.
Fasit written before implementation: docs/mbug28-id-semantics-fasit.local.md,
including one correction made before running (CML has 12 checks over 13 call
sites -- the anchored and calibrated char-budget arms are one check, which a
repeated-title sweep found and my call-site count had missed).
Suite 1535 -> 1573, 0 failing.

Oppgave A measured (fasit-first, CC 2.1.220): /doctor overlaps our
judgment lenses and alarms, not the deterministic validators. Binding
outcome: 0 whole scanners removed, 2 measured function-duplicates
scheduled for removal (GAP autoMode dimension, CA-SKL-002 alarm role),
5 surfaces repositioned. Plan rewritten with D-chunks + B2-B4 merged
against the existing C-chunks and open dogfood posts; old rejection #5
(prose contradiction detection) superseded by B3 with evidence.
README gains the division-of-labor section vs /doctor; CLAUDE.md gains
the never-duplicate-a-doctor-check invariant.

Every command so far asked an addition question — what to add, what to move,
what it costs. Nothing asked what is no longer earning its always-loaded rent.
This adds that axis as a fourth lensCheck on the existing hybrid motor rather
than a new scanner or a 22nd command: the measured payoff (~18% of one file)
justifies a mode, not machinery.
It is the only lens that proposes REMOVING config, so it carries a guarantee
the others don't need: a load-bearing block is never a candidate. Precision is
asymmetric — a missed dead line costs a few tokens per turn, a deleted one
costs a wrong remote or a broken script — so the floor is decided in code
(lib/floor-exclusion.mjs) before the opus judge sees anything, never in prose.
Granularity is the leaf block, with two structural exceptions: a paragraph
ending in ':' merges with the list it introduces, and an ordered list is a
contract whose steps inherit floor from any sibling. Unordered lists
deliberately do not inherit — a load-bearing bullet and a disposable one
routinely share a list, and container-reasoning is the error the hand-built
ground truth exists to catch.
Verified against that ground truth (built before any classifier existed), with
the comparison machine-checked rather than read by eye: zero load-bearing
blocks proposed, 11/18 deletable groups surfaced, ~756 tok ~ 18% of a ~4300
token file — inside the pre-registered band. The first run found five floor
violations the synthesized fixture missed; each got a structural rule and a
fixture shape so it cannot regress.
Three real bugs the dogfood run exposed, all now covered:
- JS \b is ASCII-only, so /\bunngå\b/ never matches — every Norwegian keyword
ending in æ/ø/å was silently dead.
- A bare word/word is not a path; "pros/cons" vetoed the largest deletable
block until PATH_RE was tightened to rooted paths and globs.
- "Mid-sentence" must key on a preceding lowercase letter; the loose version
read **bold labels:** and quoted openers as entities, costing 4 of 11 groups.
BP-SUB-001 is grounded entirely in the Anthropic steering blog already cited by
BP-MECH-001..004 and asserts nothing from the talk that motivated the feature —
no "80%", no ablation figure.
Suite 1365 -> 1382/0. Frozen v5.0.0 snapshots untouched; plain optimize output
byte-identical on identical input (--subtract adds keys only when passed).
knowledge-refresh-cli's reference date moved to 2026-08-01: its premise that
every seed entry was verified 2026-06-20 expired when BP-SUB-001 got a genuine
verification date, and backdating the entry to fit the test would have been a
lie about when its source was checked.

The plugin's own CLAUDE.md is loaded every turn while working in this repo
(measured 2,178 always-loaded tokens via `manifest`, the largest slice of the
2,745-tok project delta). Much of it was reference-grade prose that duplicates
README.md, `/config-audit help`, and docs/ — verbose per-command feature lists,
the full plain-language-output spec, the session-dir ASCII tree — none of which
is invariant for working on the plugin.
Trimmed to what is invariant: command names + one-line purpose, the agent /
hook tables (model/color/tools, script/event), finding-ID format, enforced
.claude/rules conventions, coding style, test command, gotchas. Detail now
points to README / docs/. Also dropped two stale badge-duplicate figures that
had already rotted (the README badge owns them): "18 commands" (now 21) and
"1279 tests / 72 files" (now 1344) — removed rather than re-pinned so they
can't go stale again.
Measured: CLAUDE.md 134->102 lines, 8844->6170 B, 2,178->1,516 tok (-30%);
config-audit project always-delta 2,745->2,083 tok (-24%). Full suite 1344/0;
frozen v5.0.0 + SC-5 + default-output snapshots byte-stable (no scanner/snapshot
reads this repo's CLAUDE.md). Docs-only — no version bump, no catalog ref change.

Cuts the v5.9.0 release bundling the three hardening gaps shipped since v5.8.0:
B1 (agent-listing budget — new orchestrated scanner AGT, count 15→16),
B2 (machine-wide always-loaded token roll-up in the campaign ledger), and
B3 (cache-aware filtering + stale plugin-cache disk-cleanup finding).
Version sync: plugin.json 5.8.0→5.9.0; README badges version 5.9.0 /
scanners 15→16 / tests 1168→1215; README intro + Health prose + scanner
table (new AGT row, TOK 7th pattern) + self-audit prose 15→16; new
version-history row; CHANGELOG [5.9.0]; CLAUDE.md finding-ID example (+CA-AGT)
and test count 1168→1215 / 67→68 files (scanner dir 35→36).
Gate: `self-audit --json --check-readme` -> readmeCheck.passed:true,
mismatches:[]. Full suite green (1215, 0 fail). Tag + catalog ref-bump follow.

The B3a cache filter already exposes discovery.staleCacheVersions; surface them
as a finding so the user knows the superseded plugin versions are safe to delete.
Honesty (Verifiseringsplikt): the finding loads on ZERO turns, so it must NOT
read as a per-turn token cost. TOK normally humanizes to "Wasted tokens"; a new
per-finding category override ('plugin-cache-hygiene' -> "Dead config") plus a
dedicated humanizer translation ("Old plugin versions are sitting on disk (safe
to delete) ... cost zero tokens per turn ... housekeeping, not a performance
problem") keep the prose accurate instead of the generic "using more space"
default. evidence carries the explicit "zero live-context impact" note.
- token-hotspots: Pattern H emits CA-TOK (low) from discovery.staleCacheVersions
when stale versions exist (`--global`); silent otherwise.
- humanizer: CATEGORY_TO_IMPACT lets a finding's category override the
scanner-default impact label (raw `category` field unchanged -> --json/--raw
byte-stable). humanizer-data: honest static translation for the finding.
- Tests: finding fires/severity/category, lists stale keys + zero-impact note,
silent when none; humanizer override -> Dead config; honest translation locked.
- Docs: tokens command render note (disk-cleanup, not a token problem) +
--no-exclude-cache flag; README + CLAUDE.md rows (7 patterns, cache-aware).

Wires the user-facing surface of the machine-wide token roll-up (executable CLI
shipped in B2b-2, d664b70). The campaign report (Step 2) now renders rollUp.tokens:
the headline machine-wide always-loaded total split into the shared global layer
(paid once, every repo) + per-repo deltas, plus a ranked 'most expensive repos'
table. New mode 'refresh-tokens' (Step 6) documents the human-approved live sweep —
idempotent, skips unreadable repos, names any skipped so the bill's coverage stays
honest (Verifiseringsplikt).
Shapes documented carefully: rollUp.tokens.{sharedGlobal,perRepoDelta,machineWide}
are flat number maps; byRepo[] is the ranked {name,path,always,...} list. campaign-cli
already emitted rollUp.tokens (B2a) — no reader change; this is rendering only.
commands/campaign.md (73 lines) is the primary doc; README + CLAUDE.md campaign rows
get the matching one-line summary. Markdown-only → suite unchanged at 1198 green;
campaign command stays judgment-driven (not byte-stable).

CLAUDE.md was 540 lines (CML >500 MEDIUM, config-grade B/89). Move the 19
per-scanner/per-block implementation notes (v5.6/v5.7 design rationale +
primary-source verification + byte-stability lessons) verbatim into
docs/scanner-internals.md under a new "Implementation notes" section, leaving a
read-on-demand pointer. Add a real "## Conventions" section pointing at
.claude/rules/ — this clears CA-CML-001 (missing recommended section), which the
moved detail headings had been masking via incidental rule/style keyword matches.

Completes Block 4 (4b backlog + 4c export/execution). Asymmetric: plan
export is new testable code; execution is pure reuse of the existing
per-repo implement/rollback (no new execution machinery), per the plan's
"reuse existing backup/rollback".
Plan export ("planer følger arbeidsstedet"):
- scanners/lib/campaign-export.mjs (pure, now injected, 8 tests):
planExportPath(repo,sessionId) -> <repo>/docs/config-audit-plan-<sessionId>.md
(sessionId-keyed so same-day re-audits never collide);
buildPlanExportDocument({...,now}) -> provenance header + verbatim plan.
- scanners/campaign-export-cli.mjs (-cli, read-only by default, 10 tests):
--repo resolves the repo's linked session, reads its action-plan.md,
assembles the doc, emits {exportable,problems,targetPath,document}. Two
gates -> exit 1 advisory: no-session-linked / no-action-plan. Writes the
file ONLY under opt-in --write (byte-faithful copy; the LLM never re-types
a 200-line plan). --sessions-dir override for hermetic tests; exit 0/1/3.
Command: commands/campaign.md gains an `export <path>` mode (Step 6:
preview -> approve -> --write), then routes the user to the existing
/config-audit implement (backup + verify) + rollback + set-status
implemented. Nothing auto-written (Verifiseringsplikt).
Byte-stable: lib + -cli + command-doc only -> scanner count stays 15,
agents 7, commands 21 (export is a mode, not a new command), SC-5 +
backcompat suite untouched. suite 1150->1168. Block 4a (migrateLedger)
still deferred to the first breaking schema change.
Docs: CLAUDE.md section + badge 1150->1168/65->67 files; README badge +
campaign row + Testing prose (fixed stale 1055/59 -> true 1168/67).

Completes the THIN machine-wide campaign surface (ledger + roll-up + status).
The write half of the campaign motor, mirroring how knowledge-refresh gates
register writes:
- scanners/campaign-write-cli.mjs (-cli → NOT a scanner; 11 tests): init/add/
set-status, each a thin wrapper over the invariant-enforcing lib transforms
(createLedger/addRepo/setRepoStatus) + saveLedger — path-normalization/dedup,
idempotent add, status-lifecycle guard and updatedDate bump never hand-rolled.
init refuses to clobber an existing/corrupt ledger (exit 1, file untouched);
add auto-inits + reports added vs skipped; set-status takes --findings/--session.
Deterministic: --reference-date is the only clock read, injected as `now`.
Exit 0=write, 1=advisory no-op, 3=error.
- commands/campaign.md (opus, no Web): thin orchestrator — always reports first
(read-only campaign-cli), then proposes init/add/set-status and invokes ONE
write-CLI subcommand only on explicit human approval (Verifiseringsplikt; never
hand-edits the JSON). add --discover finds git repos under a root to pick from.
Not byte-stable (own command, outside snapshot suite) like /config-audit optimize
+ knowledge-refresh. Both CLIs are -cli → scanner count stays 15, snapshot suite
untouched. commands 20→21, suite 1127→1138 (+11), test files 64→65.
Docs: CLAUDE.md §campaign-write-cli + command table + Testing badge; README
commands badge 20→21 + table row; help.md + router wiring.

Add the durable ledger that sits ABOVE individual config-audit sessions for a
machine-wide audit campaign: repo list + per-repo lifecycle (pending → audited →
planned → implemented) + a machine-wide roll-up by status and severity.
scanners/lib/campaign-ledger.mjs — same hybrid split as knowledge-refresh:
- PURE transforms (createLedger / addRepo / setRepoStatus / rollUp) with `now`
injected (YYYY-MM-DD, never the clock) → deterministic + unit-testable.
- soft validateLedger (returns {valid,errors}, never throws) for loaded data;
transforms throw on programmer error (invalid status, unknown path).
- thin IO shell (defaultLedgerPath / loadLedger→null-on-ENOENT / saveLedger).
- persists to ~/.claude/config-audit/campaign-ledger.json — OUTSIDE the plugin
dir (next to sessions/) so it survives uninstall/reinstall/upgrade.
- schemaVersion stamped from the start → cheap Block 4 migration.
THIN scope (Block 3a, operator-approved): ledger + roll-up + persistence only —
no CLI/command/execution (Blocks 3b/3c/4). Internal plumbing, byte-stable until
consumed: no `export async function scan` + lives in lib/ → scanner count stays
15, no orchestrator wiring, SC-5 unchanged.
tests/lib/campaign-ledger.test.mjs — 28 tests (TDD, red→green). Full hermetic
suite 1091→1119 green.

The 'living' half of the v5.7 living knowledge base. Same hybrid split as the
optimization lens (Chunk 2b): a deterministic, byte-stable, unit-tested core +
a web/judgment command shell.
- scanners/lib/knowledge-refresh.mjs: pure assessFreshness(register,
{referenceDate, staleAfterDays=90}) — age-based fresh/stale classification of
source.verified; referenceDate injected (never reads the clock) → fully
deterministic. 15 tests.
- scanners/knowledge-refresh-cli.mjs: -cli (NOT an orchestrated scanner →
scanner count stays 15, suite byte-stable). Read-only — never writes the
register, never hits the network. --reference-date/--stale-after/--dry-run,
exit 0/1/3. 8 tests.
- commands/knowledge-refresh.md (opus): CLI stale-report → re-verify each stale
entry by re-reading its source.url → poll CC changelog + Anthropic blog →
apply ONLY human-approved writes, then re-validate the register. No unverified
claim is ever auto-written (Verifiseringsplikt). Web-driven → not byte-stable.
No new agent, no new orchestrated scanner. Docs/badges: commands 19→20,
tests 1068→1091 (20 lib + 32 scanner test files). self-audit A/A, readmeCheck passed.

The recall+precision halves of the CA-OPT hybrid motor for the three
mechanism-fit cases the deterministic OPT scanner (2a) deliberately skips:
lifecycle→hook (BP-MECH-001), unscoped path-specific→rule (BP-MECH-002),
absolute "never"→permission (BP-MECH-004).
New:
- scanners/lib/lens-prefilter.mjs — cheap, recall-oriented line scan of the
CLAUDE.md body; detector names mirror the register lensCheck fields; skips
fenced code, gates the path class on an instruction verb. Pure + 13 tests.
- scanners/optimize-lens-cli.mjs — discovery + OPT scanner + pre-filter; attaches
only the CONFIRMED register entry to each candidate (unverifiable → dropped,
Verifiseringsplikt); emits {deterministic, candidates, register, counts}.
- agents/optimization-lens-agent.md — opus precision gate (7th agent, orange):
reads the real CLAUDE.md, drops low-confidence candidates, keeps only genuine
opportunities, cites register id + source.
- commands/optimize.md — /config-audit optimize orchestrates pre-filter→agent→report.
Agent-driven → deliberately NOT byte-stable (own command, outside the snapshot
suite). No new orchestrated scanner → scanner count stays 15. Counts: agents
6→7, commands 18→19, suite 1055→1068. Self-audit A/A unchanged, readmeCheck
passed (clean HOME). Plan: docs/v5.7-optimization-lens-plan.md.

First detector of the 'is the config OPTIMAL?' axis (vs the existing 'correct?' scanners). New orchestrated scanner family CA-OPT (count 14->15), the deterministic half of the hybrid optimization lens.
CA-OPT-001 (low, Missed opportunity): a multi-step procedure in CLAUDE.md (>=6 consecutive numbered steps) that belongs in a skill. Reads recommendation + provenance from the best-practices register (BP-MECH-003). Conservative by design; the negative corpus proves null false-positives. Prose-judgment cases (lifecycle->hook, 'never'->permission) are deferred to the Chunk 2b opus analyzer.
Wiring mirrors OST: orchestrator entry, humanizer (OPT->'Missed opportunity' + family), scoring (OPT->'CLAUDE.md', existing area -> no new posture row -> byte-stable), strip-helper (OST,OPT), SC-5 regenerated under hermetic HOME (additive OPT entry only). 10 new tests; suite 1045->1055, self-audit A/A, readmeCheck passed (all verified with a clean HOME).
Note: the pre-existing TOK test reads the real ~/.claude (non-hermetic) -> run the suite with a clean HOME for deterministic results. Tracked as a separate follow-up.

Add knowledge/best-practices.json: a machine-readable, provenance-stamped, schema-validated best-practices register — the source of truth for the upcoming v5.7 optimization lens (CA-OPT). 13 seed entries migrated from the v5.5 V-rows (loading-model + compaction facts) and the Anthropic 'Steering Claude Code' blog (mechanism-fit rules); each entry carries source.url + verified date + confidence. Only confirmed claims are user-facing (Verifiseringsplikt).
scanners/lib/best-practices-register.mjs: zero-dependency loader + validator (loadRegister/validateRegister/getEntry, native JSON.parse — not YAML, since the repo is zero-dep and yaml-parser.mjs can't parse arrays-of-objects). tests/lib/best-practices-register.test.mjs: 22 tests (schema, provenance integrity, negative cases, lookup).
Byte-stable: no scanner consumes the register yet (Chunk 2), so all scanner output is unchanged. Suite 1023->1045, self-audit A/A, readmeCheck passed. Full design: docs/v5.7-optimization-lens-plan.md.

New orchestrated scanner output-style-scanner.mjs — first new family since
SKL. Three findings, each pinned to a CONFIRMED V-row of the steering-model
plan + re-verified against code.claude.com/docs/en/output-styles:
- CA-OST-001 (medium, V10): user/project custom style missing
keep-coding-instructions:true (default false) → silently strips built-in
software-engineering instructions when active. Scoped to user/project.
- CA-OST-002 (low, V11): plugin style with force-for-plugin:true overrides the
user's selected outputStyle. Verifiseringsplikt correction — the plan bullet
said "project/user style," but force-for-plugin is plugin-styles-only per the
docs, so the check keys on source==='plugin'.
- CA-OST-003 (medium): settings outputStyle matching no built-in
(Default/Explanatory/Learning/Proactive, case-insensitive) nor discovered
custom style → dead config.
Byte-stability — a scanner addition, not a field addition. Growing the
scanners array + scanners_ok cannot be hidden by a field strip, but re-seeding
frozen v5.0.0 (the SKL precedent) would now bake in B2's hotspot triple +
claudeMd drift. So, per the B2 lesson, frozen v5.0.0 snapshots are PRESERVED
and the OST entry is stripped at compare time via new
tests/helpers/strip-added-scanner.mjs (wired into json/raw-backcompat + the
Step 5/6 humanizer tests); only SC-5 default-output is regenerated (additive
OST entry, diff reviewed). OST is fixture-gated (no output styles on
marketplace-medium / hermetic HOME → silent).
Wiring: orchestrator; humanizer (OST→Configuration mistake) + humanizer-data
OST family (title-coupled); scoring (OST→Settings, keeps 10 areas). Suite
1012→1023 (+11). Badges: scanners 14, tests 1023, TRANSLATIONS families 15.
Lore swept: README, CLAUDE.md, scanner-internals, humanizer.md. self-audit A/A.

Annotate every ranked TOK hotspot with the load-pattern triple
(loadPattern/survivesCompaction/derivationConfidence):
- hotspotLoadPattern() maps each discovery `type` → a deriveLoadPattern kind.
Rules reuse activeConfig.rules for precise `scoped` handling; claude-md maps
by scope. Two new deriveLoadPattern kinds back the rest: `command`
(on-demand — body loads on /invoke) and `harness-config` (external —
settings/keybindings/.mcp.json/hooks.json/plugin.json configure the CLI, not
the model context, so they cost no per-turn context tokens). Honest split:
the .mcp.json FILE is external; the MCP server's tool schemas are a separate
`always` hotspot.
Byte-stability — the opposite of B1's manifest. token-hotspots IS a byte-equal
SC-6/SC-7 CLI, and its hotspots ride inside scan-orchestrator + posture, so the
change touched SIX frozen-v5.0.0 comparisons across five test files. Resolved by
preserving the frozen baselines: a shared tests/helpers/strip-hotspot-load-pattern.mjs
strips the additive triple before each byte-equal compare (proves the original
schema is byte-identical). SC-5 default-output snapshots (scan-orchestrator +
token-hotspots) regenerated — diff reviewed as additive-only.
Tests 1008→1012. Self-audit A/A, scanner count unchanged at 13 (C bumps to 14).

claude-md/skill/rule/agent/output-style/mcp-server/hook.
- Every source carries loadPattern/survivesCompaction/derivationConfidence.
Rules/agents/output-styles propagate the foundation-derived values; CLAUDE.md
maps scope→kind (all cascade files always-loaded); skills are tagged on-demand
(skill-body) so the body cost does not inflate the always-loaded subtotal.
- New `summary` (always/onDemand/external/unknown {tokens,count}); the
always-loaded subtotal — "tokens that enter context every turn" — is the headline.
manifest is an environment-aware CLI → SC-6/SC-7 verify it by mode-equivalence,
not byte-equal, and it is not in SC-5. Adding fields in place keeps all snapshots
green with no regen (verified). `total` changes (de-duped) — intended correctness fix.
TOK's load-pattern column (byte-equal SC-6) is deferred to the next chunk (B2).
Tests 996→1008 (deterministic buildManifest unit test + CLI presence checks).
Self-audit A/A, scanner count unchanged at 13.

Foundation chunk of v5.6 "steering-model II" (internal plumbing for B/C;
no command-output change, so --json/--raw/SC-5/6/7 stay byte-stable, count
stays 13).
active-config-reader.mjs:
- deriveLoadPattern(kind,{scoped}) — pure helper mapping each source kind to
loadPattern {always,on-demand,external} + survivesCompaction {yes,no,n/a}
+ derivationConfidence {confirmed,inferred}, traced to the published
loading model (V-rows in docs/v5.5-steering-model-plan.md).
- enumerateRules / enumerateAgents / enumerateOutputStyles — the three
source kinds previously unenumerated (mirror enumerateSkills). Output-style
discovery is direct (not a new file-discovery type) to keep the discovery
surface stable.
- readActiveConfig now exposes rules/agents/outputStyles arrays + totals
counts/subtotals (folded into grandTotal).
yaml-parser.mjs:
- parseSimpleYaml now reads YAML block sequences (paths:\n - a), not just
inline paths:. An empty-valued key with no `- ` items stays null
(backcompat). Resolves a pre-existing RUL false-positive (a block-seq-scoped
rule was misread as unscoped) — fix flows through unchanged RUL code.
Tests +35 (961 -> 996): block-seq parser cases, RUL block-seq regression
(no-misflag + durability-fires), deriveLoadPattern table, three enumerators
(positive+negative). Amended two existing ACR asserts (top-level key shape +
grandTotal sum). self-audit A/A, readmeCheck passed, mismatches []. tests
badge 961+->996+; README testing prose de-staled (635/36 -> 996/56);
CLAUDE.md Foundation note.
B (manifest/tokens render + snapshot regen) and C (CA-OST, count->14)
deferred to their own sessions/GO.

settings-validator now validates the autoMode block (auto-mode classifier
config). Structure (medium): autoMode must be an object whose only keys are
environment/allow/soft_deny/hard_deny, each a string array ("$defaults" is a
valid entry); flags not-an-object, unknown-subkey, not-string-array. Dead-config
(low): Claude Code does not read autoMode from shared project settings
(.claude/settings.json), so an autoMode block committed there has no effect —
keyed on file.scope === 'project'.
Both premises primary-source-verified (code.claude.com/docs/en/auto-mode-config).
The plan's "test per-file scope first" gate passed: ConfigFile already carries
scope. SET is in the orchestrator; SC-5 re-checked, byte-equal (snapshot fixture
has no autoMode). Fixtures force-added (.claude/ is gitignored).
Tests +5 (944->949). Scanner count unchanged (13). --json/--raw byte-stable.

PLH now validates each entry of a plugin.json `skills` field (string|array):
every entry must resolve to an existing directory inside the plugin root.
One finding per bad entry (medium, plugin-hygiene), problem ∈ {non-string,
escapes-root, not-found, not-a-directory}. Mirrors `claude plugin validate`.
String|array normalized so a non-string top-level value is caught too.
Verifiseringsplikt: the plan's "CC suggests the parent directory" error text
is NOT in the primary docs — dropped. Only the four primary-source-verified
conditions are asserted (escape backed by the path-traversal rule).
Tests +3 (941->944). Scanner count unchanged (13). --json/--raw byte-stable.

PLH now flags a plugin.json component-path key (commands/agents/outputStyles)
that replaces a default folder still present on disk — Claude Code stops
scanning that folder, so its contents are silently ignored (dead config).
Mirrors CC's /doctor & `claude plugin list` warning (v2.1.140+).
Field set pinned to the docs' "replaces" category only (Verifiseringsplikt,
code.claude.com/docs path-behavior-rules): skills is excluded (adds to the
default skills/ scan — both load) as are hooks/mcpServers/lspServers (own
merge rules); a custom path that addresses the default folder is not flagged.
Tests +5 (936->941). Scanner count unchanged (13). --json/--raw byte-stable.

Commands are namespaced (/name:command), so a command name shared by two
differently-named plugins keeps both reachable — it is ambiguity, not a hard
conflict. The check now mirrors COL's plugin-vs-plugin skill finding: severity
LOW (was HIGH), category plugin-hygiene, COL-shaped details.namespaces, and a
group-first shape (one finding per command name listing every namespace, not
pairwise). It keys on the declared namespace (was folder basename) and fires
only across 2+ distinct namespaces — when plugins share a declared name, the
namespace-collision finding (medium) is the right signal, so this stays silent.
Removes the inaccurate "only one wins" humanizer entry. Adds fixtures
(duplicate-command-name; a shared command in duplicate-plugin-name's colliding
namespace) and 4 tests. Suite 932->936. self-audit A 97 / A 100, scanners 13.
Two plugins that declare the same `name` in plugin.json collapse into one
component namespace (/name:command, name:skill, agent "name"). Resolution
between two installed same-name plugins is undocumented, so one plugin's
commands/skills/agents are silently shadowed and unreachable. PLH now flags
this at medium severity, keying on the declared `name` (not folder basename,
via new declaredName on scanSinglePlugin) with a COL-shaped details.namespaces
payload. Name-less plugins are excluded from the collision map.
Search-first (code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins): plugin components are
namespaced by the declared name, so a plugin component can never shadow a
user/project one — only a same-name collision loses components. This refutes
the original "plugin vs user vs project shadowing" framing in the backlog.
Adds humanizer pattern, fixture (duplicate-plugin-name: 2 colliding + 2
name-less), and 3 tests. Suite 929->932. self-audit A 97 / A 100, scanners 13.
Extends the DIS scanner and its shared permission-rules lib with a third
documented Claude Code permission footgun. Verified verbatim against
code.claude.com/docs/en/permissions (fetched 2026-06-19).
CC's Tool(param:value) matching (2.1.178) is off-limits for a tool's own
canonicalizing field — CC ignores such a rule and emits a startup warning,
because e.g. Bash(command:rm *) is bypassable by a compound command. The
forbidden fields: command (Bash/PowerShell), file_path (Read/Edit/Write),
path (Grep/Glob), notebook_path (NotebookEdit), url (WebFetch).
- lib/permission-rules.mjs: new forbiddenParamRule(entry) returning
{ tool, key, hint } or null. Only the param:value form (colon present)
whose key equals the tool's forbidden field is flagged; Bash(npm:*),
WebFetch(domain:host), Agent(model:opus), and Bash(command) (no colon)
are left valid. FORBIDDEN_PARAMS map is the single source of truth.
- DIS: scans allow + deny + ask and splits severity by intent — deny/ask
hits are false security (medium: the block never applies), allow hits are
dead config (low: param:value matching is deny/ask-only). Two findings,
permissions-hygiene, CA-DIS-NNN.
- 11 new tests (7 lib, 4 DIS) + 1 fixture forbidden-param-permissions

Add a char-based CML finding that mirrors Claude Code's own startup warning
("Large CLAUDE.md will impact performance (X chars > 40.0k)"). CC 2.1.169 scales
that threshold with the model's context window, so the finding anchors on the
conservative 200k window (we cannot observe the user's window; the anchor fires
earliest) and discloses the relaxed ~200,000-char figure at 1M context. MEDIUM
severity (token cost, not an adherence cliff — consistent with the v5.2.0 reframe).
Keyed on chars, not lines, so it is complementary to the existing 200/500-line
checks (which stay untouched): a file can be long by lines yet under budget (short
lines, e.g. large-cascade at 37k chars / 1024 lines), or short by lines yet over it.
Extract the shared 200k/1M context-window constants to scanners/lib/context-window.mjs
(single source of truth; skill-listing-budget.mjs now imports + re-exports them).
40.0k figure and context-window scaling verified against the CC changelog (2.1.169,
2026-06-08) and the live startup-warning text. +6 tests, new fixture large-claude-chars
(48,531 chars / 100 lines). Suite 918/918, self-audit PASS configGrade A 97.

Extends the DIS scanner and its shared permission-rules lib with two
documented Claude Code permission footguns. Verified verbatim against
code.claude.com/docs/en/permissions (fetched 2026-06-19).
- lib/permission-rules.mjs: new isIneffectiveAllowGlob(entry) — unanchored
tool-name globs in permissions.allow (`*`, `B*`, `mcp__*`) that CC silently
skips ("does not auto-approve anything"); valid only as a glob-free
`mcp__<server>__*`. Shared with CNF.
- lib/permission-rules.mjs: dominates() now treats the `Tool(*)` deny-all glob
as equivalent to a bare deny (covers a bare allow) — CC: "Bash(*) is
equivalent to Bash ... both forms remove the tool from Claude's context".
- DIS: new finding "Ineffective allow wildcard — Claude Code ignores this rule"
(low, permissions-hygiene, CA-DIS-NNN); the existing dead-allow finding now
also catches a bare allow killed by a Tool(*) deny.
- 9 new tests (5 lib, 4 DIS) + 2 fixtures (force-added past .gitignore .claude/).
Suite 903 -> 912. Snapshot unchanged, contamination grep clean. README/CLAUDE/

Chunk 2 of the disableBundledSkills GAP feature. Adds a conditional GAP check
that prescribes the `disableBundledSkills` lever — but only when the active
skill listing is measurably over budget (SKL's CA-SKL-002 overflow signal) and
the lever is un-pulled. It stays an opportunity, not noise.
Bundled skills (/code-review, /batch, /debug, /loop, /claude-api, …) live in the
CC binary, not on disk, so their exact cost is unmeasurable here — the finding
says so plainly, and frames the lever as zero-cost budget reclaim that leaves
the user's own skills untouched. CC 2.1.169+.
- Pure, exported bundledSkillsLeverFinding({leverPulled, aggregate}) → finding|null
(severity low, category token-efficiency, CA-GAP-NNN), wired into scan() via the
shared measureActiveSkillListing().
- Lever resolved via new isBundledSkillsDisabled(): env var + settings cascade
read directly, because discovery does NOT tag ~/.claude/settings.json (its
relPath lacks ".claude" when walked from the .claude root) — the dominant
user-scope location for this global preference would otherwise be missed.
- GAP scan() now reads HOME → existing GAP tests retrofitted to withHermeticHome
per the hermetic rule. Snapshots unchanged, contamination grep clean.
- 16 new tests (9 GAP, 7 lib). Suite 887 -> 903. README/CLAUDE.md document the
cross-scanner remediation; test counts synced. self-audit: PASS, configGrade
A 96, pluginGrade A 100, readme gate passed.

Chunk 1 of the disableBundledSkills GAP feature. Moves the per-description cap,
aggregate budget constants, calibration note, and the enumerate-and-measure step
out of skill-listing-scanner into scanners/lib/skill-listing-budget.mjs — so SKL
(diagnoses overflow) and the upcoming GAP check (prescribes disableBundledSkills)
consume one budget definition instead of two divergent copies.
- New lib: assessSkillListingBudget (pure aggregate math) + measureActiveSkillListing
(HOME-scoped enumerate-and-measure wrapper).
- SKL delegates measurement; all finding strings kept byte-identical. 18/18 SKL
tests pass unchanged → behavior-neutral refactor.
- 12 new lib unit tests pin the budget contract. Suite 875 -> 887.
- README badge + CLAUDE.md test counts synced (self-audit --check-readme: passed).

Syklus 2 of Fase 4 Items 2+3. Flags when the sum of active skill
descriptions exceeds the listing budget (~2% of context, CC 2.1.32).
Design (operator-confirmed "fact-first, 200k anchor"):
- low severity (estimate) vs medium for the verified 1,536-char cap
- each description counted up to the 1,536 cap (what actually loads in
the listing) — avoids double-counting the tail CA-SKL-001 flags
- fires when sum > 2% x 200k = 4000 tok; evidence leads with the measured
sum + a calibration note that the budget scales 5x on 1M-context models
- aggregate emitted after the per-skill loop so the common case reads
001=cap, 002=aggregate (finding IDs are a sequential counter, not stable
semantic IDs — tests match on title, never NNN)
Also:
- tailored humanizer static entry for the aggregate title
- fix latent HOME leak in posture-grade-stability.test.mjs: it spawned
posture.mjs without hermeticEnv(), so a real ~/.claude leaked HOME-scoped
SKL/COL findings into the baseline grade (Token Efficiency A->B). Now
isolated like the 8 other CLI-spawning tests.
- docs sync: test count 868->875, scanner-internals, gap-matrix, plan status
Suite 875/875, no snapshot drift, self-audit clean.

Fase 4 Items 2+3 (CC 2.1.114→181 gap-review). New orchestrated scanner
`skill-listing-scanner.mjs` (prefix SKL) flags every active skill whose
description exceeds the verified 1,536-char listing cap (CC 2.1.105, changelog
L1502). Past the cap, Claude Code silently truncates the description the model
reads to route skill invocation — dropping the trigger phrases at the tail.
HOME-scoped over all user + plugin skills via enumerateSkills (COL is the model).
- CA-SKL-001 (medium): description > 1,536 chars. Remediation folds in Item
2(b) — recommends disableBundledSkills + skillOverrides + trimming
(designvalg A: no standalone GAP-check, which would fire for nearly everyone).
- Designvalg B: v1 ships the verified cap ONLY. The aggregate 2%-of-context
listing budget is deferred — it needs a context-window assumption that would
turn a verified fact into a guess (would carry a CALIBRATION_NOTE if added).
- Choice C: recognize the skillOverrides settings key (CC 2.1.129) in
KNOWN_KEYS. Left OUT of TYPE_CHECKS — the value is a per-skill object
(off/user-invocable-only/name-only), not a string; a 'string' check (as the
plan sketched) would create a NEW false positive. Verify-first deviation.
Registration: scan-orchestrator (13th scanner), humanizer (SKL → 'Wasted
tokens' + static/_default translations), scoring SCANNER_AREA_MAP (→ Token
Efficiency; no 11th area), README badge 12→13, CLAUDE.md (finding-id +
test-count), docs/scanner-internals.md, gap-matrix + plan status notes.
Snapshots reseeded hermetically (SEED_SNAPSHOT/UPDATE_SNAPSHOT): SKL entry with
0 findings in empty HOME, scanners_ok 11→12, claudeMdEstimatedTokens bump from
the CLAUDE.md edits flowing through the cascade. Contamination grep clean.
Suite 868/868 (856 baseline + 11 SKL + 1 skillOverrides). RED→GREEN logged
per cycle.

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).

- Plugin README: add "What's New in v5.1.0" section with humanizer overview,
before/after example, plain-language vocabulary table, --raw flag docs.
Bump version badge 5.0.0 → 5.1.0. Add Version History row.
- Plugin CLAUDE.md: add humanizer.mjs + humanizer-data.mjs to Scanner Lib
table. Add "Plain-Language Output (v5.1.0)" section documenting output
modes, vocabularies, and Wave 5 lessons. Bump test count 635 → 792 across
52 test files.
- Marketplace root README: bump config-audit entry 5.0.0 → 5.1.0, update
one-line description to mention plain-language UX, add bullet for the
v5.1.0 humanizer, bump test count 635+ → 792+.
Test-normalizer hardening (consequence of growing CLAUDE.md):
walkClaudeMdCascade walks upward from the marketplace-medium fixture into
this plugin's own CLAUDE.md, so any docs edit ripples into
`scanners[*].activeConfig.claudeMdEstimatedTokens`. The v5.0.0 byte-stability
contract is about scanner internals being unchanged, not ancestor input
content being frozen. Normalizers in json-backcompat, raw-backcompat,
posture-humanizer, scan-orchestrator-humanizer, and snapshot-default-output
now strip claudeMdEstimatedTokens to <ANCESTOR_DERIVED>. The
default-output snapshot for scan-orchestrator was re-seeded via
UPDATE_SNAPSHOT=1 (intent: Wave 6 docs additions; humanizer prose
unchanged).
Verify:
- grep -E "5\.1\.0|v5\.1\.0" README.md CLAUDE.md ../../README.md | wc -l = 12

New read-only command that shows everything Claude Code actually loads for a
given repo — plugins, skills, MCP servers, hooks, CLAUDE.md cascade — with
source attribution (user/project/plugin) and rough token estimates. Helps
identify candidates for disabling without guessing.
Added:
- scanners/lib/active-config-reader.mjs — pure async helper: readActiveConfig,
detectGitRoot, walkClaudeMdCascade, readClaudeJsonProjectSlice (longest-prefix
matching for .claude.json projects), enumeratePlugins, enumerateSkills,
readActiveHooks, readActiveMcpServers, estimateTokens (markdown 4 c/tok,
json 3.5 c/tok, frontmatter cap 150 tokens, item flat 15)
- scanners/whats-active.mjs — thin CLI shim: --json, --output-file, --verbose,
--suggest-disables
- commands/whats-active.md — renders tables via Read tool; honors UX rules
- tests/lib/active-config-reader.test.mjs — 36 tests, all green (integration
fixture built in tmpdir with fake HOME, .claude.json prefix matching,
plugin discovery, hook/MCP merge from all scopes)
Verified:
- Performance budget: <2s wall-clock (smoke test: 102ms on real repo)
- Token estimates within ±20% of hand-computed values
- Read-only: no writeFile/mkdir/unlink in production code
- Self-audit: Plugin Health scanner reports 0 findings (Grade A)
- Full test suite: 522 tests, 512 pass (10 pre-existing conflict-detector
failures on main — unrelated to this change, reproducible on clean HEAD)

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.
