Third sub-pass of the S29 plugin-wide terminology scrub: the banned brand phrase
"thought leadership" (FORM A) removed from the reference-doc surface — the largest pass
(2x S29a/S29b). 34 edits across 15 reference files. Vocabulary consistent with S29a/S29b:
"thought leadership angle(s)" -> "content angle(s)"; "thought leadership" (positioning/practice)
-> "authority ..."; content-type labels -> "authority content / authority posts"; the whole
"Value Test" family -> "Authority Value Test".
Established cross-pass equivalents closed: glossary:229 "Thought Leadership Value Test" ->
"Authority Value Test" (closes the S29b cross-directory naming gap); glossary:29 "8 universal
thought leadership angles" -> "content angles"; engagement-frameworks:137 "Standard Thought
Leadership Structure" -> "Standard Post Structure" (matches S29a post:98).
S29e filename locked this session: thought-leadership-angles.md -> content-angles.md (operator-
chosen). The canonical file's in-file title/headers scrubbed now for consistency (H1 ->
"# Content Angles"; "## The Authority Value Test"; "### Step 3: Test For Authority Value");
the file rename + all 20 pointers remain S29e (atomic).
Judgment-calls (operator-approved): thought-leadership-angles:212 "disguised as thought
leadership" -> "expertise" (S29b vocab); linkedin-formats:295 -> "Text-based content" (avoids
authority...authority echo); linkedin-visual-style:3 -> "For building authority,"; ai-content-
framework:380 "main LinkedIn thought leadership skill" -> "content skill" (avoids awkward
"authority skill"). Kept by design: video-strategy-guide:429 ironic quote; video-strategy-
guide:532 "TL;DW" false positive (too long, didn't watch).
Scope (operator-locked, inherits S29a/S29b): FORM A only. FORM B ("thought leader(s)" as role,
references = 4) untouched. The 3 thought-leadership-angles.md filename pointers in references/
deferred to S29e.
Verify: FORM A in references/ = only the kept ironic quote (video:429); canonical file in-file
FORM A = NONE; FORM B unchanged (4); filename pointers unchanged (3); no anchor links to changed
headers; gate 81/0/0; counts 29/19/26/6 + v0.5.0 unchanged.

Reconcile commands/video.md + references/linkedin-formats.md to the algorithm-signals SSOT
in one pass (20 edits/2 files). The unsourced "30% completion rate or zero distribution"
gate (7x) → "completion/dwell is a ranking input; shorter completes better; no published
hard completion gate". The 6 S27-folded link-penalty lines → "correlate with lower reach"
(incl. heading "The External Link Penalty" → "External Links and Lower Reach"). Six other
unsourced format magnitudes softened to direction-without-number (video 5.60% ER, Live
12-24x, polls 1.64x, 3x shares, Creator-Mode 35%). One internal contradiction fixed (3-sec
= 70% retention contradicted the already-reconciled three-second-folklore note).
Bucket D (this file's non-format coefficients: 47-50% reach-decline, AI-comment -30%/-55%,
hashtag -68%) left intact and deferred to S30, which is re-scoped to cover them + the other
files. Gate 81/0/0; counts 29/19 unchanged.

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.

Resolve the video-advice contradiction on the two surfaces this step owns
(research/03 D1-D3):
- commands/video.md: rename the "3-Second Test" to a "Muted-Autoplay Test"
(front-load value for ~85% muted viewing; the "three-second hook" is
cross-platform folklore, not a LinkedIn signal); make captions the
enforceable spec (SRT or native auto-captions, indexed for search);
aspect ratio as guidance (4:5/1:1 preferred for broad distribution,
9:16 opt-in for the vertical video tab, crops to 1:1 on desktop); add
MP4-default + warn-only MOV/AVI + official upload limits to the
pre-recording reminder.
- references/linkedin-formats.md: reframe the 9:16 "distribution boost"
as uncorroborated heuristic; 4:5 "deprioritized" -> 4:5/1:1 preferred;
drop the "3-second hook"; MP4 safe-default + warn-only MOV/AVI; replace
"good video rewarded more than ever" with the honest "per-video reach
declining; documents/carousels out-engage video."
algorithm-signals-reference.md (the canonical magnitude source) was
already reconciled in Phase 0 (line 56 reads "declining ... 4:5/1:1
preferred, captions are the enforceable spec") and carries no boost copy,
so it is intentionally untouched here — and it is not in this step's
manifest.
Verify: grep 'must be 9:16|9:16 (1080|3-second hook' video.md
linkedin-formats.md -> none; 'captions' video.md -> 5; 'deprioritized'
linkedin-formats.md -> none; structure lint 61/61.
KNOWN RESIDUAL (flagged for follow-up, NOT in this step's scope):
- references/linkedin-growth-playbook-2025-2026.md:216 still carries a
"9:16 ... distribution boost" line. That file is owned by Step 17, but
Step 17's changes are newsletter-distribution — the video line would
fall through. Fold this into Step 17 or the review gate.
- references/video-strategy-guide.md:300 still says "the 3-second test
determines 70% of retention." That file is owned by NO plan step
(orphaned) — needs a home. Surface at session end for an operator
decision.
Plan Step 15 (Wave 4 S2). Counts unchanged.
[skip-docs]: tre-doc + version bump deferred to Step 21 per remediation plan.

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.
