Close the 5 findings from the S7 /trekreview release gate (review.md, verdict BLOCK):
- BLOCKER: comment-multiplier "5x" reconciled to the canonical order-only framing
(no fixed multiplier) in agents/engagement-coach.md, linkedin-growth-playbook,
linkedin-formats.md — per algorithm-signals-reference.md ("do not quote a comment
multiplier").
- BLOCKER: carousel rate "6.60%/6.6% (highest)" reconciled to "~7% top organic
format" in linkedin-formats.md:42 (was self-contradicting :50) and
assets/templates/carousel-templates.md.
- Lint hardening: test-runner.sh STALE_STATS now matches 6.60% + the 5x comment
folklore and scans agents/ + assets/templates/ — the grep that defines the
Phase-0 criterion now catches both BLOCKERs.
- MAJOR: onboarding.md command count 26 -> 27.
- MAJOR: add section-append-branch (production-path) tests for recordFirstHourPlan
+ recordOutreachContact against a template-layout fixture.
- MINOR: move date-scalar changes.push inside the write branch in state-updater.mjs.
Verify: node --test hooks/scripts/__tests__/*.test.mjs -> 92/92; bash
scripts/test-runner.sh -> 66/0/0. NO push until /trekreview re-confirms ALLOW/WARN.

Step 17 (Wave 4 S4) of the audit remediation. Applies research/03 §D5 + the
two S2 residual fixes folded in. No new commands/agents (counts stay 27/19).
Newsletter (commands/newsletter.md): new "Distribution channel" section after
Step 10 teaching the HONEST native-newsletter mechanics — bypasses organic feed
ranking via ONE deduplicated notification per subscriber per edition (NOT a
three-touchpoint blast); the mass invite fires once → ~1-2K follower floor
(wait until you can spend it); realistic cold-start 0-100 subs months 1-3;
discloses non-export / no-canonical / no-read-analytics / per-subscriber decay;
explicit below-vs-above-floor decision rule. Sourced to research/03 D5.
Profile (commands/profile.md): new "Profile SEO" section — headline as the
highest-weight search field + a per-section keyword-target table
(headline/about/experience/skills/featured), consistency-over-stuffing rule.
Outreach (commands/outreach.md): Step 8c persists the pipeline board to tracked
state via the new recordOutreachContact mutation (mirrors Step 16's
recordFirstHourPlan): additive last_outreach_date/outreach_active scalars + a
non-R-initial ## Outreach Pipeline section in state-updater.mjs +
config/state-file.template.md + --record-outreach CLI branch. +7 tests
(state-updater 26→33, full hook suite 83→90).
Residual 1 (growth-playbook:216): 9:16 "distribution boost" → 4:5/1:1 guidance
(9:16 mobile-only opt-in; "immersive distribution" = uncorroborated heuristic).
Residual 2 (video-strategy-guide:300): "3-second test determines 70% retention"
→ "front-load value for muted autoplay" (three-second hook is folklore, not a
LinkedIn signal).
Verify: grep checks 1-5 pass; test-runner.sh exit 0 (stat-consistency green);
state-updater 33/33. [skip-docs] — tre-doc + version bump deferred to Step 21.

Wire orphan agent #11 (engagement-coach) by giving it a command surface, and
add the tracked first-hour state the plan calls for (remediation Step 16).
- commands/firsthour.md (new, 27th command): post-publish first-hour /
reply-loop sprint. Delegates plan construction to engagement-coach via
Task (subagent_type: linkedin-studio:engagement-coach) — returns a grouped
target list (whales/inner-circle/ICPs/new connections), 2-3 seed
self-comments + 3-5 CEA replies in the user's voice, and a minute-by-minute
timeline anchored to publish time. Presents timeline/targets/drafts +
velocity checkpoints, auto-copies the drafts to clipboard, persists the
plan, then hands off to post-feedback-monitor for the 48h window.
- hooks/scripts/state-updater.mjs: new pure mutation recordFirstHourPlan()
mirroring updatePostTracking — additive by contract (inserts
last_firsthour_date after last_post_date when absent, creates the
## First-Hour Plans section when absent, never touches existing fields).
Section name is deliberately non-R-initial so it stays outside
pruneContentHistory's "## Recent Posts ... (?=\n## [^R])" capture window.
+ a --record-firsthour CLI branch for parity with the other mutations.
- config/state-file.template.md: additive scalars (last_firsthour_date,
firsthour_active) + the ## First-Hour Plans section.
- hooks/scripts/__tests__/state-updater.test.mjs: extend (existing file) with
7 recordFirstHourPlan tests — section creation, field insertion vs in-place
update (no duplication), round-trip non-interference, graceful empty
defaults, changes array.
- CLAUDE.md: register the command (## Commands 26 -> 27, table row).
- scripts/test-runner.sh: EXPECT_COMMANDS 26 -> 27 (registration guard).
Verify: grep 'subagent_type: linkedin-studio:engagement-coach' commands/ ->
firsthour.md; node --test state-updater -> 26/26; full hook suite -> 83/83;
bash scripts/test-runner.sh -> exit 0 (62 passed, commands 27/27).
Plan Step 16 (Wave 4 S3).
[skip-docs]: tre-doc + version bump deferred to Step 21 per remediation plan.

Wire the orphan differentiation-checker (#10) into the five short-form
creation commands (post/quick/react/carousel/video) as a De-AI /
Differentiation Gate at each command's quality-check step: confirm the
LinkedIn-named substance signals (personal substance, original thinking,
concrete specifics, genuine voice) + a soft engagement-bait check, and
delegate an originality pass to linkedin-studio:differentiation-checker
when the angle risks commodity content. Add Task to allowed-tools in
quick/react/carousel (post/video already had it from Step 13).
Extend (not duplicate) hooks/prompts/voice-guardian.md's AI-pattern
section with the same named signals from research/01 D8 + research/03 D4.
Runtime-loaded prompt — no compile-hooks.py, no hooks.json change
(verified: compile-hooks --check reports no drift).
Test: new hooks/scripts/__tests__/linkedin-content-filter.test.mjs pins
the content/non-content boundary the gate is scoped by (14 tests).
Full hook suite 76/76, structure lint 61/61.
Plan Step 14 (Wave 4 S2). Counts unchanged (26 commands / 19 agents).
[skip-docs]: tre-doc + version bump deferred to Step 21 per remediation plan.

Wave 2 / Step 5 of the remediation plan (coupled criticals: voice-leak +
placeholder-detection).
Voice profile (the adopter-default leak):
- Ship a PII-free placeholder at authentic-voice-samples.md carrying a
<!-- VOICE_PLACEHOLDER --> sentinel + neutral default voice principles.
- Migrate the author's real profile to gitignored authentic-voice-samples.local.md
(already matched by *.local.md; added an explicit, commented .gitignore entry so
the intent is unmissable). NO git-history rewrite — the historical file is
attributed authorship, not a secret (per the plan threat model).
- Add authentic-voice-samples.template.md — a clean fill-in template for adopters.
- personalization-score.mjs: detect the sentinel (deterministic) instead of the
unreliable `[Your Name]` heuristic, so the placeholder scores 0 voice points and
a populated profile (sentinel removed) earns the 25.
- Both voice writers replace-not-append on the placeholder: setup.md (merge ->
replace-if-placeholder) and onboarding.md (append -> replace-if-placeholder), so
populating removes the sentinel; updated setup.md's stale heuristic table.
Operator decisions (deviations from plan-literal, approved this session):
- KEEP the plugin.json author name. The plan said scrub author -> neutral/org, but
that contradicts its own LICENSE reasoning (intentional MIT attribution) and all
5 sibling plugins keep author = the author; scrubbing only this one would create
inconsistency for zero security gain (the name is public-by-design). The voice
placeholder fully fixes the adopter-inheritance bug.
- Scrub the stale "January 2026 360Brew" brand from the plugin.json description and
the "360brew" keyword (locked decision: no publishable model name/date). This is
a Wave-1 propagation miss surfaced here because plugin.json was in Step 5's
touch-scope.
Flagged for follow-up (NOT done here — out of Session 2 scope):
- The lint's stat-consistency grep (scripts/test-runner.sh) scans references/,
commands/, skills/, hooks/prompts/, CLAUDE.md, README.md — but NOT
.claude-plugin/plugin.json, which is why the 360Brew brand slipped Wave 1.
Needs a Session-1-scoped lint extension to add plugin.json to the scan set.
- Readers (user-prompt-context.mjs, voice-guardian.md, state-update-reminder.md)
read the tracked .md (placeholder), per the plan. The operator's real voice now
lives in the gitignored .local.md, which nothing reads. To use it, readers + the
voice score should prefer .local.md (matching the user-profile.local.md
precedent). Deferred as a coherence follow-up for operator review.
Test-first: hooks/scripts/__tests__/personalization-score.test.mjs (red on the
placeholder scoring 25 under the old heuristic, green after the sentinel fix). Hook
suite 62/62, structural lint 0 failed.

BREAKING CHANGE: the marketplace slug, the agent namespace
(linkedin-studio:<agent>), and the runtime state-file path
(~/.claude/linkedin-studio.local.md) all change. Reinstall required;
existing state migrated in place (post metrics, streak, history preserved).
The /linkedin:* commands are unchanged — the command namespace is set
per-command in frontmatter and was always independent of the plugin slug.
Functionality is byte-identical to v2.4.0; this release is pure identity.
- dir + manifests: plugins/linkedin-studio + plugin.json + root marketplace.json
- agent namespace updated in commands/newsletter.md (only functional invoker)
- state path updated in 4 hook scripts + topic-rotation prompt + state template
- catch-all skill dir renamed skills/linkedin-studio (5 functional skills unchanged)
- docs + version bump to 3.0.0 across README badge, CHANGELOG, root README/CLAUDE.md
- historical records (CHANGELOG past entries, docs/ build artifacts,
config-audit v5.0.0 snapshots) intentionally retain the old slug
