 Deep requirements gathering, research, implementation planning, self-verifying execution, independent post-hoc review, and zero-friction multi-session resumption with specialized agent swarms, adversarial review, and failure recovery. Six-command (brief, research, plan, execute, review, continue) universal pipeline.
 
@@ -88,6 +88,8 @@ Six commands, one pipeline with clear division of labor:
 
 All artifacts land in one project directory: `.claude/projects/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{slug}/` contains `brief.md`, `research/NN-*.md`, `plan.md`, `sessions/`, `progress.json`, `review.md`, and `.session-state.local.json` (gitignored). `--project <dir>` works across `/ultraresearch-local`, `/ultraplan-local`, `/ultraexecute-local`, `/ultrareview-local`, and (optionally) `/ultracontinue-local`.
 
+v3.4.0 (non-breaking) adds the **autonomy chain from brief approval to main-merge** plus parallel-wave hardenings. New `lib/util/autonomy-gate.mjs` state machine (`idle → approved → executing → merge-pending → main-merged`), `lib/review/plan-review-dedup.mjs` for Phase 9 inline dedup, `lib/stats/event-emit.mjs` for autonomy-gate transitions and main-merge gate, and `--gates {open|closed|adaptive}` flag on all four pipeline commands. `commands/ultraplan-local.md` Phase 8 seals Opus-4.7 plan/list-emission schema-drift via `plan-validator --strict`. `commands/ultraexecute-local.md` Phase 2.6 wave-executor adds 11 hardenings for plugin-in-monorepo + gitignored-state topology (GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS, --max-turns, --max-budget-usd, scoped --allowedTools, push-before-cleanup ordering). New `hooks/scripts/post-compact-flush.mjs` PostCompact hook re-injects session-state after compaction. SC7 synthetic determinism floor (Jaccard ≥ 0.833) for plan + review fixtures. Hook baseline regression pins. Architecture decision: Path B (sequential `--no-ff` parallel waves with manifest-driven failure recovery) ships; Path C (cache-first hybrid) deferred to v3.5.0 contingent on cache-telemetry harvest.

 v3.3.0 (non-breaking) adds `/ultracontinue-local` as the sixth command and the contracted **Handover 7 (.session-state.local.json)** for zero-friction multi-session resumption. New `lib/validators/session-state-validator.mjs` (schema v1, forward-compat — unknown top-level keys ignored), `lib/util/atomic-write.mjs` extracted from `pre-compact-flush.mjs` for tmp+rename writes, and `/ultraplan-end-session-local` helper for informal multi-session flows. `/ultraexecute-local` Phase 8 / 2.55 / 4 now write the state file alongside `progress.json`. `pre-compact-flush.mjs` also refreshes the state file before context compaction (monotonic; never advances to non-resumable status). 22 new tests (163 → 185 green).
 
 v3.2.0 (non-breaking) adds `/ultrareview-local` as the fifth command and the contracted **Handover 6 (review → plan)** feedback loop. New artifact type `type: ultrareview` validated by `lib/validators/review-validator.mjs`, stable 40-char SHA1 finding-IDs from `lib/parsers/finding-id.mjs`, Jaccard similarity for determinism testing (`lib/parsers/jaccard.mjs`), and a 12-key version-pinned rule catalogue (`lib/review/rule-catalogue.mjs`). Four new agents (review-orchestrator, brief-conformance-reviewer, code-correctness-reviewer, review-coordinator) implementing the Judge-Agent dedup pattern. `/ultraplan-local` now consumes `--brief review.md` (BLOCKER + MAJOR findings become plan goals) and writes `source_findings: [<id>, ...]` audit trail. `brief-validator` accepts both `type: ultrabrief` and `type: ultrareview`.
