HANDOVER-CONTRACTS.md was the lone source that called plan_version a
frontmatter field. The plan template (templates/plan-template.md:21) emits it
ONLY in the prose "Generated by" header line; brief-generated plans carry no
frontmatter at all (the sole frontmatter block, source_findings, is
trekreview-only and additive). planning-orchestrator.md:228 ("metadata line
below the title"), the parser (lib/parsers/plan-schema.mjs, S26), and the
plan-schema.test.mjs comment all already say prose. The contract was the
outlier — the deferred doc-side closure the S26 commit named as scope to avoid
then ("a 3-file doc reconciliation").
Operator-chosen direction (Option A + A1): correct the contract to the
artifact, doc-only — NOT move the field to frontmatter (which would alter every
plan's shape and fight the trekreview-only frontmatter design). A1 keeps the
standardized "Frontmatter schema" heading, corrects the row, and notes the real
(optional, trekreview-only) source_findings frontmatter.
Three surgical spots in HANDOVER-CONTRACTS.md:
- versioning table: `plan_version` (frontmatter) → (plan header line)
- Handover 4 "Frontmatter schema": no-required-frontmatter note + Location
column locating plan_version in the "Generated by" header line + parser ref
- Handover 5 progress.json: "Mirrors plan's frontmatter" → "Mirrors the plan
header's plan_version"
TDD (red first): new doc-consistency pin asserts the contract no longer labels
plan_version a (frontmatter) field, drops "Mirrors plan's frontmatter", and
positively locates it in the plan header line. Red on the old wording (L15 +
L264), green after the edits.
Scope: only HANDOVER-CONTRACTS.md + the one pin. Template/orchestrator/parser/
examples untouched (already correct). Example-01's bare-line emission drift is
noted out-of-scope for a possible later item.
Tests: 729 (727 pass / 2 skip / 0 fail; live `node --test`, = 728 baseline +1).
plugin validate passes (1 accepted CLAUDE.md-at-root warning).

Closes devils-advocate audit #4–#6 (MAJOR×MED). Four additive, non-breaking
changes to the v5.5 framing-alignment machinery:
1. --min-brief-version <ver> gate (audit #4). Opt-in version floor on
/trekplan + /trekresearch, forwarded to brief-validator as --min-version.
New opts.minBriefVersion warns BRIEF_VERSION_BELOW_MINIMUM (never blocks)
when a brief declares a version below the floor; trekreview exempt; absent
opt = no check. CLI shim parses --min-version and skips its value token in
filePath detection.
2. memory_alignment.status field (audit #5). brief-reviewer now emits
status: verified | n_a | contradictions so a score-5 N/A (no memory) is
distinguishable from a score-5 verified-aligned brief — the score≥4 gate
passes in both, status reveals whether the wrong-premise defense ran.
3. Document pre-2.2 = zero framing enforcement (audit #4). HANDOVER-CONTRACTS
§Handover 1 now states the producer-elective hole + two remedies. Also
fixes a stale "current is 2.1" line (current is 2.2).
4. Soften flagship overselling (audit #6). CLAUDE.md Context-Engineering
principle now hedges that main-context relief is asserted-by-design, not
measured (T1 PoC found Δ≈0); README carried no false claim to fix.
TDD: 8 new tests written failing-first (5 validator, 1 trekbrief status pin,
2 doc-consistency cross-file pins). Suite 691→699 (697 pass / 2 skip / 0 fail).
No flagship prose-pin added (deliberate, per S19 anti-bloat).

Truth-pass over the README/CLAUDE/contract docs the S14 audit flagged as
stale (findings #2/#6/#7/#8/#9). Re-grepped every count against the actual
files first — line numbers in the audit are S14 snapshots that had already
rotted. docs + tests only; lib/ runtime and all behaviour untouched.
Corrections:
- README architecture block: 23 → 24 agents; 5 → 7 hooks (add the two it
omitted: post-compact-flush, otel-export); dropped the rotting test-count
("109" — already wrong twice, 109→683→686) for "comprehensive node:test
suite" so the number can never drift again (operator choice).
- brief-reviewer five → six dimensions (+ memory alignment); plan-critic
9 → 10 dimensions (README ×2 + CLAUDE.md), matching the agent's 10 numbered
dims and the v5.5 flagship 6th brief dimension.
- phantom "v5.4" contract-freeze references → v5.5.0 (CLAUDE.md + HANDOVER-
CONTRACTS ×3). v5.2–5.4 never shipped; the formalization landed with 2.2 in
v5.5.0 (CHANGELOG:9), so line 46 got a prose tweak (one release both
established 2.1 and evolved it to 2.2). CHANGELOG history left intact — it
correctly explains the phantom.
- trekplan Phase-8 inline-sealing rationale "Opus 4.7" → 4.8.
- bonus (operator-approved): end-session helper name trekplan-end-session →
trekendsession (the actual command).
New doc-consistency pins (TDD red→green): README agent-count and hook-count
(file counts), plan-critic dim-count (computed from ### N. headers),
brief-reviewer dim-count (cross-file, excludes agent-list lines that
co-mention plan-critic's count). Updated the existing pin that guarded the
phantom "v5.4 froze 2.1" string to the corrected wording + a !/v5.4/ guard.
Version-string pins (Opus 4.8 / v5.5.0) deliberately omitted as S19 prose-bloat.
Tests 686 → 690 (688 pass / 2 skip / 0 fail). claude plugin validate passes
(1 accepted CLAUDE.md-at-root warning).

Implements the CLAUDE.md cross-cutting invariant "brief framing must match
operator intent" as a controlled brief_version 2.1->2.2 bump (operator option A1).
Three defense layers, version-gated at >=2.2 so existing 2.0/2.1 briefs stay
valid (forward + backward compatible), mirroring the phase_signals >=2.1 gate:
- L1 framing: enum field (preserve|refine|replace|new-direction). Enum-checked
on any version when present (BRIEF_INVALID_FRAMING); missing at >=2.2 ->
BRIEF_MISSING_FRAMING. /trekbrief Phase 2.5 collects it BEFORE any brief prose
(non-skippable, even in --quick).
- L2 memory alignment: new brief-reviewer dimension 6 comparing brief Intent/Goal
+ framing against operator memory for explicit contradictions; degrades to
score 5 (N/A) when no memory context is supplied. Wired into Phase 4e gate
(memory_alignment.score >= 4).
- L3 obligatory ## TL;DR (<=5 content lines) at >=2.2; soft cap ->
BRIEF_TLDR_TOO_LONG warning.
trekreview briefs are exempt from the framing/TL;DR gate. Handover 1 PUBLIC
CONTRACT doc, README "What's new", and the CLAUDE.md invariant + agents table
(brief-reviewer 5->6 dimensions) updated to 2.2 (schema axis only; plugin
version badge + CHANGELOG remain S10).
Iron Law followed: validator tests red->green first. Tests 586 -> 606
(+20, 604 pass / 2 skip). claude plugin validate passes (pre-existing
CLAUDE.md root-context warning unchanged).

Elevate Handover 1 (brief.md → research) from an internal pipeline handover
to an explicit PUBLIC CONTRACT — the only public producer↔Voyage integration
boundary (Trinity asymmetry invariant: Voyage stays unaware of upstream tiers;
any compatible producer may feed it; no producer privileged).
Scope = freeze + document (operator-gated, option A). No schema change, no
plugin version bump (that is S10 RELEASE). Per S3, phase_signals stays optional
and brief_version 2.1 is the frozen public-contract baseline.
- docs/HANDOVER-CONTRACTS.md: PUBLIC CONTRACT label + callout on Handover 1
(asymmetry, breaking-for-downstream, additive-vs-breaking, frozen 2.1 baseline);
resolve the speculative "v5.4 may promote phase_signals to required → 3.0" line
to the S3 freeze decision; fix stale schema-table baseline 2.0 → 2.1; annotate
the Stability summary row (symmetric with Handover 3's "external" flag).
- CLAUDE.md: Trinity note now points at docs/HANDOVER-CONTRACTS.md §Handover 1.
- tests/lib/doc-consistency.test.mjs: +4 failing-first doc-truth pins (Iron Law)
— PUBLIC CONTRACT label, callout + breaking-for-downstream guarantee, frozen
2.1 baseline (no stale 2.0), freeze-not-promote. 586/584 pass/0 fail/2 skip.

The v4.2/v4.3 bespoke playground SPA (~388 KB), the /trekrevise command,
Handover 8 (annotation → revision), the supporting lib/ modules
(anchor-parser, annotation-digest, markdown-write, revision-guard), the
Playwright e2e suite, and the @playwright/test / @axe-core/playwright
devDeps are removed. A browser walkthrough found the playground borderline
unusable, and it duplicated the official /playground plugin's
document-critique / diff-review templates.
In their place: scripts/render-artifact.mjs — a small, zero-dependency
renderer that turns a brief/plan/review .md into a self-contained,
design-system-styled, zero-network .html (frontmatter folded into a
<details> block). /trekbrief, /trekplan, and /trekreview call it on their
last step and print the file:// link; to annotate, run /playground
(document-critique) on the .md and paste the generated prompt back.
Resolves the v4.3.1-deferred findings as moot (their target files are
deleted). npm test green: 509 tests, 507 pass, 0 fail, 2 skipped.

D2 of post-v3.4.1 stabilisering. Removes 14 plugin-name references from
agents/, commands/, and docs/ tracked files (CLAUDE.md/README.md/SECURITY.md
were ryddet in v3.4.1 commit 52cfc64).
The external architect plugin was moved out of the public marketplace
2026-05-04 due to ToS concerns around future skill sources. References in
prose are now stale or misleading for public users. The architecture/overview.md
filesystem slot remains available for any compatible producer — discovery
is plugin-agnostic via lib/validators/architecture-discovery.mjs (drift-WARN,
never drift-FAIL).
Files:
- agents/planning-orchestrator.md (1 ref generalized)
- commands/ultraplan-local.md (2 refs generalized; missed by prompt inventory)
- docs/HANDOVER-CONTRACTS.md (4 refs generalized; Handover 3 + stability summary)
- docs/architect-bridge-test.md (deleted; was a public-only bridge checklist)
- docs/subagent-delegation-audit.md (5 refs/rows removed; intervention #5 dropped, recommendation adjusted)
CHANGELOG.md retains historical references (20 occurrences) intentionally.
Verification:
- grep tracked non-CHANGELOG md: 0 references remaining
- npm test: 361/361 pass (baseline preserved)
Step 11 of v3.4.1 plan. Adds the lifecycle subsection to Handover 7
documenting:
- Producer/consumer arbeidsdeling (executor + helper write; ultracontinue
reads; pre-compact-flush refreshes only)
- Stale-file principle: status==='completed' state files SHOULD be
removed via /ultracontinue-local --cleanup --confirm (operator-invoked,
no auto-cleanup, no force flag)
- Frontmatter contract for NEXT-SESSION-PROMPT.local.md: producers MUST
write produced_by + produced_at (ISO-8601); files without frontmatter
are tolerated (warning, not error) for backwards compatibility
- Idempotency: --cleanup --confirm is safe to re-run; partial state
reported but never auto-recovered
Adds 3 doc-consistency pins:
- next-session-prompt-validator CLI shim
- Handover 7 § Lifecycle subsection present
- Handover 7 § Lifecycle names --cleanup + produced_by contract
358 -> 361 tests, all green.

Closes the iteration loop: review.md → plan via source_findings audit trail.
Adds versioning row, validator-map entry, full Handover 6 section, and
stability summary row mirroring the shape of Handovers 1-5.
