Opus 4.7 reads agent instructions more literally than 4.6. The v1.7
planning-orchestrator described the Step+Manifest schema via prose +
procedural rules, which 4.6 inferred correctly but 4.7 sometimes
rendered as narrative "Fase N" prose — producing plans ultraexecute
Phase 2 rejected. First observed 2026-04-17 during llm-security v6.2.0
planning.
v1.8.0 closes the gap:
- planning-orchestrator Phase 5 embeds a literal copyable Step+Manifest
example (JWT middleware) replacing "read the template" prose
- Explicit forbidden-format clause: ## Fase N, ### Phase N, ### Stage N,
and any non-"### Step N:" heading are denied
- Phase 5.5 schema self-check: grep-verify canonical Step count matches
Manifest count and narrative heading count is zero, before handing to
plan-critic
- ultraexecute-local --validate mode: schema-only check that parses
steps + manifests, reports READY/FAIL with actionable error hints,
no security scan, no execution. Fast sanity check between
/ultraplan-local and full execution.
Static verification: 17/17 PASS.

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.
