Step 5 of v3.4.1 hot-fix plan. Phase 2 of
commands/ultracontinue-local.md is rewritten to remove every curly-
brace template placeholder. The {state-file-path} substitution failure
caused the path-guard hook to crash on unresolved templates.
New Phase 2 structure:
2.a — Read the file with the Read tool (no Bash). Deterministic and
not subject to shell-substitution errors.
2.b — Schema-validate via the existing CLI shim, with the resolved
absolute path emitted as a literal string token by the model
at the time of the Bash call. Anti-substitution invariant:
STOP if about to emit any unresolved placeholder.
2.c — Interpret validator result (preserved verbatim from the
previous Phase 2 — three-way branch on valid + status).
Verification: grep -c "{state-file-path}" returns 0; full Phase 2
section contains no {lowercase-template} curly-brace placeholders.
Suite 322 -> 335 passing (+13: 7 from Step 1, 4 from Step 2, 2 from
Step 4).
Step 3 of v3.4.1 hot-fix plan. Three fixes in
commands/ultracontinue-local.md:
- Phase 0: replace "$ARGUMENTS contains --help or -h" with parsed-arg
dispatch via parseArgs(...,'ultracontinue'). Usage block fires only
when flags['--help'] === true OR positional[0] === '-h'. Empty,
whitespace, and project-dir args fall through to Phase 1
(auto-discovery), which is the operator-default invocation.
- Phase 1.a: NEW — reject .md positional arg with SC-2 diagnostic
("expected <project-dir>" + "did you mean to paste"). Operators
pasting a NEXT-SESSION-PROMPT.local.md path see a clear error
instead of a confusing fallthrough.
- Phase 1.b: auto-discovery node -e now emits {path, updated_at}
JSON per candidate; Phase 1 sorts numerically via
Date.parse(updated_at) DESC instead of lexicographic compare.
Newest in_progress wins, including across year-boundary timestamps.
All 4 Step 2 regression tests now green; full suite 322 → 333 passing.
Reads .claude/projects/<project>/.session-state.local.json (Handover 7),
narrates a 3-line summary, and immediately begins executing the next
session — no interactive confirmation, headless-safe.
Phases:
- 0: --help (self-documenting per brief NFR)
- 1: resolve project dir (auto-discover via node -e enumeration)
- 2: validate via session-state-validator
- 3: narrate (project / next_session_label / brief path)
- 4: read brief and begin
- 5: stats
[skip-docs] rationale: README + CLAUDE.md updates land in Step 11 (Session
2b) per plan structure. Step 8 (docs:) updates HANDOVER-CONTRACTS.md and
the doc-consistency test pin in the same session.
