Follow-up to e7a58b0 (S20). Operator directive: errors found during a
task must always be fixed, not flagged out-of-scope. The three
orchestrator reference docs (review/research/planning) carried a
pre-pinning "Cost: Use Sonnet for all sub-agents" rule that contradicts
the operator-pinned all-opus reality (40d8742 — all 24 named agents are
model: opus, guarded by agent-frontmatter.test.mjs). The authoritative
command (trekresearch.md) was already correct.
Corrected all three to mirror trekresearch.md: sub-agents use their
pinned model: frontmatter (currently opus); a phase_signals model signal
or the active --profile (e.g. economy) overrides per-phase. Legitimate
sonnet uses (economy profile, low-effort path) are per-phase overrides,
not a blanket default — left untouched. The two "(Sonnet, Explore)"
ad-hoc follow-up/deep-dive hints are outside the 24-agent pinning and
align with the global "Sonnet for retrieval" model strategy — left as-is.
TDD: anti-false-claim doc-consistency pin written failing-first (3 hits)
in doc-consistency.test.mjs, then the prose fixed. Suite 713->714
(712 pass / 2 skip / 0 fail); census doc-pins 69->70, total 670->671.

T3's CC-04 half: confirmed research agents degrade cleanly under
--strict-mcp-config. Verified semantics (CC cli-reference.md +
sub-agents.md, v2.1.153) via claude-code-guide: the flag strips all MCP
servers absent --mcp-config; absent MCP tool grants are skipped with a
warning and the subagent launches with its remaining tools (no hard
spawn error).
4/5 MCP-granting research agents (docs/community/security/contrarian)
keep a native WebSearch/WebFetch fallback and degrade by losing MCP
enhancement only. gemini-bridge is the lone MCP-only agent: under
--strict-mcp-config it spawns tool-less (no-op) but does not hard-fail,
is conditionally gated (--local skips; only high-effort forces it
always-on), and the existing graceful-degradation rule already names
Gemini. Disposition: VERIFIED clean, no code change (mirrors CC-08/29/31
prose dispositions; CC-31 worktree half already VERIFIED aligned -> T3
fully evaluated).
Recorded as §S20 resolution + inline T3 status; matrix rows and
generation stamp untouched. Optional hardening (gate gemini-bridge spawn
on gemini-server availability; pin the fallback invariant in
agent-frontmatter.test.mjs) recorded as a forward pointer, not done.
node --test green: 713/711 pass/2 skip/0 fail. This edit = zero test
delta (verified via git stash vs HEAD). Note: actual runtime count is
713, not the 698 recorded in S19's body/STATE — stale figure, not a
regression; census top-level split (behavior=601, pins=69, total=670)
still holds.

Closes devils-advocate audit §Top changes #8 (MINOR×MED). Reports the
behavior-test count separately from the doc-consistency prose-pin count so the
cited total no longer oversells behavior coverage, and removes the clearest
reword-fragile redundancies. Conservative scope (operator-chosen): no genuine
regression guard dropped.
1. Suite census (report separately). lib/util/test-census.mjs +
tests/lib/test-census.test.mjs walk tests/**/*.test.mjs and bucket top-level
test() declarations into behavior vs doc-consistency-pins (bucket per file,
regex PIN_FILE_RE), asserting the two sum to the total so neither can drift
silently. Split emitted as a t.diagnostic: behavior=601 doc-consistency-pins=69.
Metric = top-level declarations; node:test's runtime total counts subtests
too and is therefore >= it.
2. Conservative prune (3 tests, each provably subsumed):
- "trekexecute.md still parses v1.7 plan schema" — tautological OR-chain;
real coverage = the plan_version:1.7 template pin + plan-validator /
plan-schema behavior tests.
- "CLAUDE.md mentions all six pipeline commands" — hardcoded six-string list
subsumed by the filesystem-driven "commands table mentions every
commands/*.md file" structural pin.
- "CLAUDE.md mentions /trekcontinue command" — same subsumption.
Each removal leaves an in-place note (why + where coverage lives).
3. doc-consistency.test.mjs header now documents the structural-invariant vs
prose/existence-pin distinction so new pins land in the right kind.
TDD: census test written failing-first (ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND before
lib/util/test-census.mjs existed). Suite 699->698 (696 pass / 2 skip / 0 fail):
-3 prune +2 census. plugin validate passes (1 accepted 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).

Survivor #3 (bake-off data un-archived): per-run JSON a1..b3.json was never
committed (git diff-filter=A empty), so the medians/jaccard ladder cannot be
re-derived or audited. Commit-path would require fabricated data (forbidden) →
downgraded "POSITIVE" to "opt-in-defensible (single un-archived run)" in
docs/T2-bakeoff-results.md (verdict line + §5 header + new §Reproducibility
caveat) and the v5.5.0 CHANGELOG entry. New doc-consistency pin fails if the
doc re-asserts bare POSITIVE or drops the un-archived disclosure.
Survivor #5 (latent dispatch risk): planning/research/review orchestrators are
inline reference docs no command invokes, yet shipped tools:["Agent",...]. The
harness cannot spawn sub-agents with Agent, so the grant was pure latent risk.
Dropped "Agent" from all three frontmatters; flipped the agent-frontmatter
invariant (its canonical home) from "must include Agent" to "must NOT include
Agent". Removed the duplicate orchestrator pin from doc-consistency to avoid a
double guard (S19 anti-bloat).
Tests 690 → 691 (689 pass / 2 skip / 0 fail). claude plugin validate passes
(1 accepted CLAUDE.md-at-root warning).

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).

Resolve the S14 default-profile contradiction. Investigation overturned
the audit addendum's guess ("code is the bug → balanced"): commit 40d8742
(2026-05-13, "pin all sub-agents to Opus permanently (operator request)")
plus VOYAGE_PROFILE=premium in ~/.zshenv establish premium as the deliberate
default. Operator confirmed in-session: premium is the shipped default; fix
the stale docs, not the code. No code or behaviour changed (lib/ untouched).
Docs (default-name → premium, consistent across resolver + all three docs):
- README + docs/profiles.md + docs/operations.md: 3 lookup-order sites and
3 profile tables now mark `premium` as the default.
- premium table row corrected to all-opus (matches premium.yaml — a third
inconsistency the audit missed; README/profiles.md showed opus/sonnet/...).
Cost narrative made honest (premium = all-Opus reality):
- §Cost profile rewritten: uniform model per phase, no orchestrator-vs-swarm
split; cheaper via --profile balanced/economy.
- Removed false "Sonnet exploration/review swarm" claims (README 195/223/266
model-neutral; 804 parenthetical; the "Switch the planning model" note).
- profiles.md custom-profile prose corrected: built-in wins over same-named
custom (findProfilePath), dropping the bogus "balanced is the locked default".
Pins (TDD red→green, doc-consistency.test.mjs):
- default-profile name invariant (resolveProfile ↔ README/profiles/operations)
- profile tables ↔ each built-in yaml phase_models (structural, catches drift)
- cost-claim regression guard (no resurrected Sonnet-swarm phrasing)
S16/S18 surface untouched: counts (23 agents, 9/10 dims, 5/6 dims), versions,
framing gates unchanged. Full suite 686 (684 pass / 2 skip / 0 fail).

Operator challenged audit finding #1 (README 'cheap Sonnet' vs agents
opus). Verified against code: per-phase model system is real (operator
correct), but no default profile makes exploration/review sonnet
(balanced+premium both set plan/review=opus; only opt-in economy=sonnet)
-> finding #1 STANDS. NEW defect audit missed: resolveProfile() defaults
to 'premium' but README:759 + profiles.md say 'balanced' — code-vs-docs
mismatch, unguarded. Corrected fix recorded; keeps Opus-as-default.
Cold adversarial audit of Voyage via Workflow tool (13 agents, 6 attack
dimensions -> rebuttal -> synthesis). Verdict: ship-worthy machine, but
docs need a truth-pass. Verified MAJORs: README sells 'cheap Sonnet'
swarms while all 24 agents are model: opus; stale counts (109 vs 683
tests, 23 vs 24 agents, 5 vs 7 hooks); NW2 bake-off raw data uncommitted;
brief framing enforcement bypassable via brief_version 2.1. Audit only --
no Voyage code/docs changed; acting on findings needs fresh go-ahead.
Cold adversarial audit of Voyage to run in the next session (post-/clear) as a
Dynamic Workflow per operator request. 6 adversarial dimensions (ceremony-vs-value,
today's-decisions-as-rationalizations, brief-contract fragility, orchestration on
shifting harness behavior, maintainability/rot, claims-vs-reality) → rebuttal pass
(STANDS/WEAKENED/REFUTED) → synthesis. Deliverable: docs/devils-advocate-results.md.
Planning only — workflow not run this session. STATE.md (gitignored) points the

Make the bake-off-validated Workflow substrate (Arm B) reachable behind an
opt-in --workflow flag for /trekreview. Default Phase 5-6 path stays prose
to preserve the lower portability floor; --workflow raises the consumer
floor to Claude Code 2.1.154+ (the Workflow tool).
- arg-parser: --workflow added to trekreview boolean flags
- commands/trekreview.md: flag row + Phase 5 substrate-routing gate +
new section 'Phase 5-6 via the Workflow substrate' (invocation contract,
S10 gotchas, bake-off citation, auto/bypass residual as Known limitation)
- docs/command-modes.md: --workflow row in /trekreview table
- routes to existing scripts/trekreview-armB.workflow.mjs (byte-identical to
the S10 part-B POSITIVE build); integration is pure routing, no script change
TDD: 8 new tests (arg-parser flag recognition + combine; command/doc prose
pins for route, opt-in posture, 2.1.154+ floor, bake-off evidence).
Suite 662 -> 670 (668 pass / 2 skip / 0 fail). plugin validate clean modulo
known root-CLAUDE.md warning. Resolves W1-narrow-wins-plan.md S11.
Run the full T2 §5 prose-vs-Workflow /trekreview bake-off (operator GO,
choice "a"): 3 runs/arm on a rich-finding JWT-auth fixture, resolving the
smoke's 0-finding limitation.
Deliverables:
- tests/fixtures/bakeoff-rich/ — JWT-auth brief + diff with 5 seeded blatant,
brief-traceable issues (varied severity/rule_key, one dual-flaggable).
- scripts/bakeoff-armA-merge.mjs — Arm A (prose) validate (NW1) + triplet-dedup,
matching Arm B's dedup exactly.
- scripts/bakeoff-fidelity.mjs — cross-arm + within-arm + granularity-ladder
fidelity analysis over the structured arm outputs.
- docs/T2-bakeoff-results.md §Full run — the T2 §5 verdict.
Result (3 runs/arm, both arms ran the coordinator):
- Verdict fidelity EQUIVALENT — all 6 runs BLOCK, cross-arm verdict-match 1.0.
- Finding-set: substrate is fidelity-neutral. Cross-arm jaccard 0.41 (triplet)
→ 0.71 (file,rule_key) → 1.0 (file); cross-arm ≈ within-arm at every
granularity. Issue coverage 5/5 in 6/6 runs. Low triplet jaccard is
line-citation noise shared by both arms, not a substrate effect.
- Token +4.4% (Arm B vs A; <=+15%). Classifier interference 0 at 9-agent
concurrency. JSON-robustness: Arm B schema-forced; Arm A 6/6 valid via NW1.
- VERDICT POSITIVE → S11 proceeds with opt-in --workflow flag.
Caveat (per plan posture): strict triplet-jaccard>=0.7 flag is 0/9, a
metric-calibration artifact (both arms sub-0.7 against themselves), not a
regression. Residual: F4 auto/bypass explicit-mode check (mode not settable
in-session).
Suite green (662/660 pass, 2 skip); plugin validate clean (modulo the
pre-existing root-CLAUDE.md warning). No production code changed.

Build the prose-vs-Workflow bake-off machinery for /trekreview Phase 5-6 and
run a 1-run/arm smoke to de-risk before the full measurement (operator posture:
build + smoke, then pause for go/no-go on the full >=3-runs/arm run).
New:
- lib/review/fidelity-diff.mjs (+ tests) — the PRIMARY metric: parse two
review.md (or two structured arm outputs) and compare verdict + jaccard over
(file,line,rule_key)-IDs + per-finding severity/rule_key. Reuses jaccard +
frontmatter + NW1 findings-schema + finding-id. fidelityDiffStructured avoids
rendering review.md per run.
- scripts/trekreview-armB.workflow.mjs — Arm B: Phase 5-6 as a Workflow
(parallel([conformance, correctness]) schema-forced -> JS dedup-by-triplet ->
agent(review-coordinator) verdict schema). Path-based input via args (reviewers
carry Read). Inlines dedup + the 12-key rule_key enum (scripts have no imports).
- tests/fixtures/bakeoff/ — committable fixture: real diff of b149538 (NW1) +
brief reconstructed from plan S9. Both arms review the same pinned input.
- docs/T2-bakeoff-results.md — smoke results + verdict + go/no-go recommendation.
Smoke result: SMOKE PASS. Arm B runs the full pipeline (3 agents) with ZERO
classifier interference; fidelity EQUIVALENT to Arm A at the verdict level
(both ALLOW; jaccard 1.0). Caveat: the clean TDD'd fixture yielded ~0 findings,
so finding-SET fidelity was not stressed (only verdict fidelity proven). A
reviewer-level divergence appeared (Arm B raised 1 raw finding, coordinator
filtered it; Arm A raised 0) — to be quantified in the full run on a
richer-finding-surface fixture. NOT the T2 §5 POSITIVE/NEGATIVE verdict.
Suite 647 -> 662 (660 pass / 2 skip / 0 fail; +15 fidelity-diff). claude plugin
validate clean (known root-CLAUDE.md warning only). Plan: docs/W1-narrow-wins-plan.md S10.

Codify the /trekreview Phase 5 reviewer JSON contract as a validated schema so
main validates each reviewer's output instead of merely JSON.parse-ing it, and
re-asks on schema failure (not just parse failure). Retires the fragility at
trekreview.md:202-204. No Workflow dependency (S8 tier 1, ships regardless).
New lib/review/findings-schema.mjs (3-layer Content -> Raw-text -> CLI shim,
reusing result.mjs error-shape + rule-catalogue RULE_KEYS/SEVERITY_VALUES):
- validateFindings(payload): hard errors on load-bearing fields the dedup
triplet + verdict depend on — file, rule_key (in catalogue), severity (enum),
line (integer >= 0); accumulates all errors; per-finding location.
- extractFindingsBlock(text): last fenced ```json block (the :202 contract).
- validateReviewerOutput(text): extract + parse + schema, unifying parse and
schema failures under one bounded re-ask path.
Stable codes: FINDINGS_NOT_OBJECT/_NOT_ARRAY/_NO_JSON_BLOCK/_PARSE_ERROR (top),
FINDING_MISSING_FILE/_MISSING_RULE_KEY/_UNKNOWN_RULE_KEY/_BAD_SEVERITY/_BAD_LINE
(per-finding). Descriptive fields + unknown keys tolerated (forward-compat).
Phase 5 prose: replace "parse last json block; on parse error re-emit" with
"validate against findings-schema; on failure re-ask conforming JSON, bounded
N=2; never feed unvalidated findings to the coordinator".
TDD: 27 failing tests first, then minimal code to pass. Suite 606 -> 647

Second W1 gate, same staged execution as S7 (operator-chosen): cheap live
feasibility probe + design doc; the prose-vs-Workflow bake-off specified but
NOT run.
Probe (CC 2.1.181 interactive): a minimal trekreview-shaped Workflow —
parallel([reviewerA, reviewerB]) with a findings schema -> agent(coordinator)
with a verdict schema — ran end-to-end. F1 core ports natively; F2 structured
schemas retire the JSON-parse fragility at trekreview.md:202-204; F3 result
returns to main; F4 a small purposeful fan-out did NOT trip the S7 proliferation
classifier. 3 agents / 85461 tokens / 13.8s.
Reframe: 'substrate swap' is a false binary — a /trek* command is ~80%
non-orchestration glue, so Workflow can only replace the fan-out->synthesize
core (hybrid).
CC-27 recommendation (operator gates verdict): selective hybrid, NOT wholesale
swap. Tier 1 ship a prose schema contract (the F2 win, no Workflow dep); tier 2
port trekreview Phase 5-6 to a Workflow only if the designed bake-off shows
fidelity-equivalent output + acceptable control/cost; tier 3 wholesale swap
declined (portability floor 2.1.154+, opt-in UX, mid-flow visibility loss).
Open risk inherited from S7: classifier at large fan-out under auto/bypass
still unverified.
New: docs/T2-cc27-workflow-substrate.md (gate evidence F0-F4 + bake-off design
with thresholds + no-Workflow schema-contract PoC). Matrix: CC-27 row +

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

S4 of the 2.1.181 upgrade — implementation, not a gate. TDD: failing test
written first for the resolver gate, then the fix; suite green throughout.
- Resolver MAJOR (FIX): lib/profiles/phase-signal-resolver.mjs now imports
BASE_ALLOWED_MODELS from profile-validator and gates `model`
(if 'model' in entry && BASE_ALLOWED_MODELS.includes(entry.model)),
mirroring the EFFORT_LEVELS gate one line up. Out-of-allowlist models
(gpt-4, haiku) are dropped instead of handed to an agent spawn —
defense-in-depth behind brief-validator's validation-time check. No
circular import (brief-validator already imports the same symbol).
+2 tests (drops-invalid / keeps-valid).
- Native effort: (SHIP, static additive): effort: frontmatter on 8 agents —
retrieval (task-finder, git-historian, dependency-tracer,
architecture-mapper) = medium; adversarial-reasoning (plan-critic,
risk-assessor, contrarian-researcher, review-coordinator) = high. The
other 15 stay unset -> inherit Opus-4.8 default (high). This per-spawn
REASONING effort is a different axis from brief phase_signals.effort
(ORCHESTRATION shape) per the S3 decision.
- Doc-truth + axis distinction: new canonical docs/profiles.md
§Model & effort axes (opus->Opus 4.8 default-high; orchestration vs
reasoning effort table; native-effort precedence; per-agent levels).
Short notes in CLAUDE.md (after Agents table) and README.md (Cost
profile), both pointing to profiles.md.
- Open (non-blocking, unchanged): only STATIC effort shipped — the
verified-safe minimum. Profile-driven DYNAMIC effort still needs
verification of the per-spawn effort param or env-var injection.
Matrix: new "S4 resolutions" section. Tests 582 total / 580 pass / 0 fail /
2 skip (was 578 pass; +2). claude plugin validate passes (only pre-existing

S3 was a decision-gate. Two-track evidence (codebase map of phase_signals/
phase_models/profiles/resolver + verbatim-cited CC native-effort: semantics)
overturned CC-22's framing and the operator confirmed the path.
Load-bearing finding: Voyage phase_signals.effort (low/standard/high) is an
ORCHESTRATION-SHAPE axis consumed by command prose (which agents/passes/gates
run), while CC native effort: is a per-spawn REASONING budget. Same name,
different axes. A remap would conflate them and silently delete orchestration
behavior, and would not remove the resolver (it also carries the model half).
Operator decisions (2026-06-18):
- CC-22 -> option C: freeze phase_signals.effort 3-level as-is (unblocks the
v5.4 brief-schema freeze); adopt native effort: additively at the
agent/profile layer, OUTSIDE the brief contract.
- Keep field name `effort` (no breaking rename); document the
orchestration-vs-reasoning distinction loudly instead.
Dispositions: CC-21 DECIDED (Opus-4.8-high baseline accepted; native effort:
is the moderation lever; doc-truth follow-up). CC-24/CC-25 DEFER confirmed
(availableModels constrains model only, not effort; MAX_THINKING_TOKENS=0 is
an economy lever). Resolver MAJOR (phase-signal-resolver.mjs:40 ungated model)
stays on S4 — independent of the effort decision.
Matrix: CC-21/CC-22 rows flipped to DECIDED + new "S3 resolutions" section with
S4 scope and the non-blocking open (per-spawn effort param unverified).
Tests 578 pass / 0 fail / 2 skip.

S2 of the 2.1.181 upgrade. Schemas verified verbatim against the official
slash-commands and hooks docs before editing (a first-pass camelCase
'disallowedTools' claim was caught and corrected to kebab-case against the doc).
- CC-14 (SHIP): migrate all 7 hooks in hooks/hooks.json to exec-form
{command:"node", args:["${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/X.mjs"]}. Doc
recommends exec-form whenever a hook references a path placeholder; protects
consumers installing under a path with spaces. ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}
interpolates inside args (verified). hooks-json-stop-wired test made
form-agnostic (normalizes command+args to one invocation string).
- CC-11 (SHIP): add `disallowed-tools: Agent, TeamCreate` to trekexecute
frontmatter, enforcing its documented "No Agent tool, no TeamCreate" rule.
allowed-tools grants auto-approval but does NOT remove tools from the pool,
so the prior omission left Agent callable; disallowed-tools removes it.
trekexecute is the only command with a documented exclusion.
- CC-15 (DECIDE: keep universal): re-affirm F2 deferral. pre-bash/pre-write
executors stay universal -- session-agnostic safety (rm -rf /, ~/.ssh, .env)
that narrowing to execute-only would only weaken. Header comments corrected.
- CC-10 (DECIDE: design note, no code): no blanket Agent(model:opus) deny rule
-- would break balanced/economy profiles; any model-enforcement must be
profile-aware, deferred into W2. Folded into open question #3.
Matrix updated with S2 resolutions section. Tests 578 pass / 0 fail / 2 skip;
claude plugin validate passes (only pre-existing root-CLAUDE.md warning).

8 sites across 3 orchestrator agents + trekbrief/trekplan/trekresearch asserted 'the harness does not expose the Agent tool to sub-agents' as present fact -- the rationale for the v2.4.0 inline migration. CC 2.1.172 (verified) lets sub-agents spawn sub-agents up to 5 levels deep, so the claim is false. Replaced each with verified history (pre-2.1.172) + current fact + forward pointer to the decision matrix (W1/CC-26). Decision-neutral: states fact without pre-empting the orchestration redesign. CHANGELOG history left untouched. Tests 578/0/2; claude plugin validate passes.

Two-track research (CC changelog digest x Voyage CC-capability surface) synthesized into a 31-entry adoption catalogue (CC-01..CC-31) across 5 workstreams: W0 correctness, W1 orchestration, W2 model/effort, W3 guardrails, W4 hygiene. Load-bearing changelog claims verified verbatim against the official changelog. Foundation for the continuous-session upgrade plan. Headline: CC 2.1.172 (sub-agents can spawn sub-agents) invalidates Voyage's inline-orchestration premise.

The v5.x doc consolidation (67f6dd5) moved phase_models into docs/profiles.md and phase_signals into docs/HANDOVER-CONTRACTS.md, leaving CLAUDE.md to only link them via Reference docs. Two doc-consistency assertions still read CLAUDE.md and went red on main. Retarget both to the canonical doc homes (legacy-alias check preserved on docs/profiles.md). Suite: 578 pass / 0 fail / 2 skipped.

Remove REMEMBER.md / TODO.md / ROADMAP.md / NEXT-SESSION-PROMPT.local.md
mechanisms per ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (2026-05-26 rule): the three layers
are STATE.md + auto-memory + plugin-CLAUDE.md; local mechanisms are
abolished and consolidated into the layers + git + docs/-reference.
- .gitignore: drop REMEMBER.md / TODO.md / ROADMAP.md entries; add STATE.md
(gitignored — overskrives ved sesjonsslutt, lokal state-of-play).
- CLAUDE.md: cross-cutting-invariant note now points to STATE.md instead
of ROADMAP.md (linter update, same theme).
Forward-looking version specs (v5.2 TDD, v5.3 sesjons-konsolidering,
v5.4 brief-format public contract, v5.5 brief framing alignment) lived
in the gitignored ROADMAP.md and are NOT recoverable from git. If
reactivated they go through the brief→plan pipeline (proper Voyage
discipline anyway).

v5.1.0 shipped with an unquoted brief_version: 2.1 in trekbrief-template.md.
parseScalar coerced it to Number 2.1, and the sequencing gate guarded on
typeof === 'string', silently bypassing BRIEF_V51_MISSING_SIGNALS.
Three-part atomic fix:
- brief-validator.mjs:87+149 now accepts both string and number forms via
String(fm.brief_version) coercion.
- trekbrief-template.md quotes the value so new briefs parse as String.
- doc-consistency.test.mjs pins the QUOTED form going forward.
Three regression tests added in brief-validator.test.mjs.
