Wave 1 / Step 3 of v5.1.0 plain-language UX humanizer.
scanners/lib/humanizer.mjs exports three pure functions:
- humanizeFinding(f) -> new finding object with translated
title/description/recommendation + three new fields
(userImpactCategory, userActionLanguage, relevanceContext).
- humanizeFindings(findings) -> mapped array.
- humanizeEnvelope(env) -> walks env.scanners[].findings.
Plus computeRelevanceContext(filePath) as a named export for
unit testing.
Field semantics:
- userImpactCategory: from scanner prefix per research/02 line 124
(Configuration mistake / Conflict / Wasted tokens / Dead config /
Missed opportunity / Other).
- userActionLanguage: from severity per research/02 line 134
(Fix this now / Fix soon / Fix when convenient / Optional cleanup
/ FYI).
- relevanceContext: deterministic file-path heuristic — looks for
/tests/fixtures/ or /test/fixtures/ substring (test-fixture-no-impact),
*.local.* basename (affects-this-machine-only), defaults to
affects-everyone. No subprocess, no network.
Lookup order per scanner: static[title] -> patterns regex match ->
_default -> fall through to original strings (when scanner prefix
absent).
Original id, scanner, severity, file, line, evidence, category,
autoFixable, and optional details are preserved exactly. Pure —
verified by deepEqual of input before/after.
Test (32 cases): purity, field preservation across all paths,
known/unknown scanner handling, all 5 severities, all 6 categories,
relevance heuristic for 4 path types, envelope walking, ANSI-free
guarantee. All pass.
Regression: 689/689 tests (657 + 32 new = 54 new across Wave 1).

Wave 1 / Step 2 of v5.1.0 plain-language UX humanizer.
scanners/lib/humanizer-data.mjs exports TRANSLATIONS keyed by
scanner prefix (CML, SET, HKV, RUL, MCP, IMP, CNF, GAP, TOK, CPS,
DIS, COL, PLH). Each scanner has:
- static: exact-title -> {title, description, recommendation}
- patterns: array of {regex, translation} for template-literal titles
- _default: graceful fallback for unknown findings
Architectural change vs. plan: keys translations by exact scanner
title (not finding ID). Reason: finding IDs are sequence-based
(global counter in lib/output.mjs:34), not stable per finding-type
— two runs can produce different IDs for the same logical issue.
Title strings ARE stable (defined as string literals or template
patterns in the scanner source).
Translations follow research/03 SR-1..SR-17:
- active voice, second person, present tense
- sentences <= 25 words
- tier1 absolute prohibitions and tier3 domain jargon are kept out
of prose
- tier1/tier3 terms are permitted inside `backtick spans` (code
references like filenames and field names) — established
technical-doc convention
Test (12 cases): all 13 scanners covered; every static and pattern
entry has the 3 required fields; tier1 and tier3 forbidden-word
checks pass (with backtick-span exclusion); reference-stable
imports. All pass.
Regression: 657/657 tests (645 + 12 new).

New COL scanner detects skill-name collisions across plugins and
between user-level skills (~/.claude/skills/) and plugin-bundled
skills. Skill identity is the directory basename — matches how
enumerateSkills resolves names.
Detection rules (per docs/v5-namespace-research.md, confidence: medium):
- Plugin-vs-plugin same skill name → severity low (CA-COL-001)
- User-vs-plugin same skill name → severity medium (CA-COL-001)
- Plugin-vs-built-in collisions: out of scope for v5.0.0 (insufficient
verification — recorded for v5.0.1 follow-up).
Findings carry details.namespaces array with {source, name, path} for
every conflicting source — supports per-collision reporting downstream.
output.mjs: finding() helper now passes through optional `details`
field (scanner-specific structured payload).
scoring.mjs: COL → "Plugin Hygiene" (new area, 10 total). Posture test
updated from 9 → 10 area scores.
.gitignore: docs/v5-namespace-research.md is local-only (Step 22a
research output, gitignored per plan).
Fixture collision-plugins/fake-home/ has user skill `review` colliding
with plugin-a + plugin-b's `review` (medium severity), plus plugin-c's
unique `summarize` (no collision).
[skip-docs] reason: v5 plan fences off README/CLAUDE.md badge updates

Tests: 617 → 625 (+8).

New DIS scanner detects tools that appear in BOTH permissions.deny
and permissions.allow within the same settings.json file. The deny
list wins, so allow entries are dead config but still load on every
turn and confuse intent.
Tool identity = bare name (everything before "("). `Bash(npm:*)` and
`Bash` are treated as the same tool, so a deny on `Bash` flags any
`Bash(...)` allow entry.
Severity: low. Wired into scan-orchestrator + scoring (area: Settings).
Fixture denied-tools-in-schema has Bash in both arrays; healthy-project
serves as the negative case.

New CPS scanner walks CLAUDE.md cascade and flags volatile content
between lines 31 and 150 — the cache-prefix window beyond TOK Pattern
A's top-30 territory. Volatile content anywhere in the cached prefix
forces a fresh cache write from that line down on every turn.
Volatile-pattern set extends TOK Pattern A with:
- shell-exec lines (! prefix) — common in CLAUDE.md to inject git/date
- ${VAR} substitutions — vary per-shell, defeat cache reuse
Severity: medium per finding. Skips lines 1-30 to avoid duplicating
Pattern A's range; CPS' value is in the 31-150 zone.
Wired into scan-orchestrator + scoring SCANNER_AREA_MAP. CPS shares
the "Token Efficiency" area with TOK; scoreByArea now deduplicates by
area name and combines counts across scanners contributing to the
same area, so the 9-area scorecard contract holds.
Fixtures volatile-mid-section/{volatile-line-60, volatile-line-200}
verify both positive (line 60) and out-of-window (line 200) cases.

Two MCP enumeration paths in readActiveMcpServers now pass kind='mcp'
to estimateTokens with optional toolCount derived from def.tools array
(populated when callers cache MCP discovery — Step 14 wires that up).
Hook callers keep kind='item' (no schema overhead).
Visible effect: every active MCP server jumps from estimatedTokens=15
to >= 500 (or higher when toolCount is known). The whats-active output
and TOK hotspots now reflect actual MCP cost.
Tests: assert mcpServers[].estimatedTokens >= 500 in fixture.
Replace count-based pass-rate with severity-weighted penalty:
- penalty = sum(count[s] * WEIGHTS[s])
- maxBudget = max(10, findingCount * 4)
- passRate = max(0, 100 - penalty / maxBudget * 100)
A few lows no longer crater an area's grade; a single high or critical
consumes a large fraction of budget. Mirrors the operator intuition that
severity, not count, is the signal.
BREAKING (intentional): scoring semantics differ from v4 for non-clean
configs. Add scoringVersion: 'v5' to the returned struct so consumers
can detect the version. baseline-all-a remains all-A (no critical/high
on that fixture).
Tests: +6 cases for severity weighting; existing "many findings" test
updated to use highs (where v5 still drops the grade as expected).
Promote WEIGHTS const to named export with Object.freeze for downstream
use in scoring.mjs (severity-weighted scoreByArea, F3).
Tests: +2 cases asserting WEIGHTS shape.
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.
