New orchestrated scanner SKL (CA-SKL-001 1,536-char listing cap, CA-SKL-002
listing-budget sum) → 13 orchestrated scanners. Five validators refreshed for
the CC 2.1.114→181 settings/hook surface (xhigh effort, MessageDisplay +
post-session events). False positives eliminated in MCP and permissions
scanners. Hermetic HOME isolation across all CLI-spawning tests.
Version sync: plugin.json 5.1.0→5.2.0, README badges (version + tests-875+),
5 stale "12→13 scanners" prose fixes, What's New + version-history rewrite,
CHANGELOG [5.2.0] entry. 875/875 tests; self-audit configGrade A, pluginGrade A,
readmeCheck.passed:true.

Plain-language UX humanizer release. Default output of all 18 commands
now leads with prose; technical IDs surface at end-of-line as references
rather than headlines. Scanner internals are unchanged; humanization is
a pure output-time transform applied at the rendering layer.
Highlights:
- New scanner-lib modules: humanizer.mjs, humanizer-data.mjs (TRANSLATIONS
for 13 scanner prefixes)
- New --raw flag threaded through every CLI for byte-stable v5.0.0
verbatim output (--json unchanged from v5.0.0, also byte-stable)
- 5 user-impact categories, 5 action-language phrases, 3 relevance contexts
- Self-audit terminal output also humanized; --json path unchanged
- 21 command and agent templates updated for humanized rendering with
--raw passthrough
- 635 → 792 tests (+157) including SC-3 forbidden-words lint, SC-4
scenario read-test, SC-5/6/7 backwards-compat snapshots
Migration:
- Existing --json automation: zero changes required (envelope is
byte-stable with v5.0.0; humanizer fields are bypassed)
- stderr-scraping tooling: review default mode (now uses prose); pass
--raw for v5.0.0 verbatim
- No scanner-internal changes (IDs, severity ladders, scoring weights,
area scorecards all unchanged)
Verification:
- 792/792 tests pass
- self-audit configGrade A (97), pluginGrade A (100), readmeCheck passed
- README badge: tests-635+ → tests-792+
The v5.0.0-rc.1 N5 implementation looked up hotspot.path in
calibrateAgainstApi() but token-hotspots.mjs only emitted hotspot.source —
calibration silently produced 0 actual_tokens because every iteration hit
the `if (!hotspot?.path) continue` guard.
Fix: file-backed hotspots now expose `path: h.absPath` in the JSON output.
MCP-server hotspots intentionally leave path unset — their tokens are
runtime tool-schema (formula-based: 500 + toolCount × 200), not file
content readable by count_tokens.
SC-6b release-gate verified against tests/fixtures/marketplace-large:
- Actual (count_tokens, claude-opus-4-7): 589 tokens for CLAUDE.md
- Estimated (4-bytes/token byte heuristic): 594 tokens
- Delta: -5 tokens / -0.85% — well within ±5% gate. PASS.
CHANGELOG: documented the fix + SC-6b result inline under [5.0.0].
All 635 tests still green. No estimateTokens tuning required for v5.0.0.

beta.1 wrap entry covering N1-N4 + N6 (Steps 18-22b). Includes
explicit Known breaking changes section on CA-TOK-* glob suppression
matching CA-TOK-005, and notes plugin-vs-built-in collision is
deferred to v5.0.1.
Tests: 586 → 625 (+39).

Summarizes F1-F5 scope: TOK ↔ readActiveConfig integration, 'mcp' kind
in estimateTokens (15 → ≥500), severity-weighted scoreByArea, dead-code
removal in TOK hotspots, Pattern D / CA-TOK-004 removal.
Includes migration notes for downstream consumers (CA-TOK-* globs still
suppress 001-003; scoringVersion field added for v4→v5 detection).
Document the Opus 4.7 era upgrade: TOK scanner, /config-audit tokens,
Token Efficiency 8th area, scanner/verifier agent migration to sonnet.

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.
