- park-attempt-files: parks in the git dir (outside the work tree, so Sub-step C.2 never registers a parked file again), reads a path with a space, names a new file under a header it cannot read, parks a symlink, never overwrites a parked file, and exits 1 while a file the attempt made is still in the tree; the upward diff is saved in one form whatever the git config.
- brief-validator: BRIEF_SC_NOT_RUNNABLE only when a later backticked span is a command; a criterion that only names a flag or a path stays prose (Handover 1 says so now).
- review ids: counted over the final list (runContract), as fill-finding-ids counts review.md; trimmed_count matches rows by id; engine-findings and fidelity-diff use computeFindingIds; the --workflow dedup keeps one source's different findings apart, the decision-23 put-back stays one copy per triplet.

Operator decision 56 (2026-10-17): the product shows English.
- Annotation HTML: the intent buttons, sidebar badges and the copied
prompt read Fix / Change / Question. The stored keys stay
fiks / endre / spørsmål, so annotations saved earlier still load.
- /trekreview project-memory approval: "Add the line" / "Not now".
- README, CLAUDE.md, docs/architecture.md, package.json and plugin.json
describe what the product shows; README's hollow-answer line and the
"anslag" in the profile section are English; a Norwegian code comment
in profile-validator.mjs translated.
The Norwegian hollow-answer list in approval-log.mjs and trekbrief.md
stays: it matches what a user types. Both new tests failed on the code
before the change. Suite 2606 (2604/0/2).

- Changelog list: v6.0.0 to v6.4.0 replace v5.5.0 to v5.8.0.
- Profile system: custom profiles live in voyage-profiles/ (repo root or
~/.claude), never lib/profiles/ (resolver.mjs findProfilePath); env is
not read on a resume; brief phase_signals come before the profile.
docs/profiles.md had the same wrong path.
- Annotation: the install-section paragraph described the v5.0.2 UX and
linked a dead anchor; the v5.0.3 history note moved to a CHANGELOG pointer.
- Architecture slot replaces "Disable the architect bridge"; the producer
is no longer distributed and any Handover 3 producer fits.
- Stale facts fixed: review severities, seven handovers, session titles for
six commands, the brief's framing field, Upgrading since v6.0.0, the
npm test path, the tree root and docs list, the add-an-agent steps.

Decision 41's rerun is scoped to below plan_version 1.8 in the executor and Handover 4 (as the helper and the exit-2 row already say), the decision-30 sentence names the one exception, and the Fixed and Known-issues slicers share one subsection helper.

An engine's brief-conflict mark could lower a reviewer agent's MAJOR: ingest kept an engine field a reviewer wrote on its own finding, and on a severity tie the survivor depended on payload order (engine first gave ALLOW, reviewer first WARN). ingest now takes engine from the payload source; Pass 1 and the workflow dedup keep the reviewer-agent finding on a tie. Prose (coordinator Pass 1, Handover 6) follows. Decision 13, operator 12.10.

The step check read File: anywhere on the Test first lines, so a 1.9 plan whose only File: stood mid-line validated while the executor, K6 and the red proof read no test file. From 1.9 checkSteps reads the test the way testFirstFiles does; below 1.9 it reads as before (decision 16). Found by the step 5 controller in /trekexecute --session 2; fixed on the operator's decision.

Round 8 (0f400d3..29b4ac9, BLOCK: 1 BLOCKER, 12 MAJOR, 1 MINOR). Each fix
began with a test that failed on 29b4ac9 (13 tests, all red there); suite
2221 (2219/0/2).
- BLOCKER: a backticked check whose trailing comment holds a quote, $,
backtick or backslash is refused, not dropped. The comment was never
screened, while the executor hands the Verify span as written to red
proof, the test lock and the done line inside --cmd "...", where a $(...)
runs and a quote ends the argument. trekplan's text and the reviewer's
NOT RUN table say so.
- A span that is only a comment is not-a-command, not a placeholder. The
dropComment text says the allowlist still refuses a word with a # in it.
- The criteria runner, comparison-gate and end-state-gate use isMain: they
did nothing and exited 0 under a symlinked path. The test now refuses any
process.argv[1] comparison outside lib/util/is-main.mjs.
- Files: in a field with backticked paths, a plain word counts only before
the entry's description (a dash, or a colon after the path); a name with
no slash only first in its entry or after and/or/+/&. "mocks
fs.readFileSync", "runs on Node.js 22.x" or "no change to package.json"
no longer make a tests-only step look like it builds something.
Lowercase makefile, rakefile and justfile are build files. Measured on the
520 Files: fields in 48 plans of the marketplace and the test repo:
3 fields read differently (two notes no longer read as files, one
duplicate name dropped), tests-only changed in 0.
- The test lock compares --cmd without its trailing comment, and the test
lock and the done line read a stop with stoppedBy, the one reading.
red-proof drops its second reading, spawnError.
- release-check reads a relative --review in --repo or, when only that one
exists, from the current directory as 6.3.0 did; two different files are
exit 2, never guessed. The runbook says so.
- One trailing-json reader: a closing fence may be longer than three
backticks, in the block reader and the verdict gate alike, and the review
validator and the synthesis digest use it, so three backticks inside a
JSON string no longer hide a BLOCKER from the remediation-step check.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Round 7 (516dffa..45aa9e1, WARN: 12 MAJOR, 0 BLOCKER) and the fence defect
found while writing its review.md. Each fix began with a test that failed on
0f400d3 (v6.3.0); suite 2208 (2206/0/2), 14 tests more.
- Tests-only (operator 2026-10-11): the plan's Files: alone decides, and the
text says so (red-proof, trekexecute Sub-step B, step-implementer,
HANDOVER-CONTRACTS). red-proof no longer reads the step's diff, so a change
already in the tree when the step began no longer counts against it, and a
plan placed outside .claude/ reads the same. The round-6 test that had the
diff overrule the plan is rewritten to the new rule.
- The Files: reader keeps a plain file beside a backticked path
(", Dockerfile", "the CLI entry src/cli.mjs", "and Makefile"). Measured on
the 520 Files: fields in 182 plans: no field reads differently.
- Red proof reports a command its timeout killed as killed after the timeout,
not "could not start"; the release check tells a timeout from output past
its buffer and from another signal. One reading of a stop
(criteria-runner stoppedBy) for red proof, the criteria runner and the
release check.
- A trailing `# comment` is dropped in a backticked check too, and in a
command passed as written, so the words screened are the words run.
- The release check reads a relative --review in --repo.
- The 15-minute timeout is defined once (criteria-runner.mjs).
- The findings check reads each cited file once per validation.
- One isMain helper (lib/util/is-main.mjs) for every CLI: the 31 copies of
the realpath guard and the 20 modules still on the file:// guard, which
exited 0 having done nothing under a symlink or a path with a space.
- The Bash guard writes its no-one-to-ask refusal once, on a direct condition.
- The findings check ends a ```json block only at a fence on its own line, so
three backticks inside a JSON string no longer end it (also in 6.2.0).
- Brief-conformance notes: a test for test-lock green on exit 127 (it
passed at once; it fails when 127 is read as could-not-run); the prose now
names the git revision `@~1` as the one leading-@ exception.
Not changed: the example plan's steps 1-2 keep their tests-only warning
(operator decision 2026-10-09; the r5 test records it). Brief note 4 (a
Regression: whose runner is not installed goes to the fix rounds) is a
routing question for the operator.

Round 6 (v6.2.0..c3641ff, WARN: 11 MAJOR, 3 MINOR; 0 BLOCKER). The round-5
fixes hold (code-correctness-reviewer); three of the new MAJOR were side
effects of running checks with no shell. Each fixed behind a test that
failed first on c3641ff.
- git checks stay in the repo too: no path that climbs out with .., starts
at / or reads <rev>:../x, and no --no-index (both reviewers).
- A trailing `# comment` on a shell-fence line is dropped: with no shell,
its words made an honest check NOT RUN, among them the first check of the
shipped example plan.
- A glob reaches `node --test` only on Node 21 and later, which expands it
itself; on an older Node it is refused with that reason (engines >=18).
- With no shell, exit 126/127 is the test program's own: red proof reads it
as a red (the control run still tells an environment fault apart), the
done line and the test lock as a failure.
- A runner that could not start (not installed) is NOT RUN in the criteria
runner and not-run (exit 2) in regression-check, as red-proof and
done-line already said; never a red suite.
- Tests-only: a backticked `Makefile` alone in its entry is a path, and red
proof confirms the plan's tests-only reading against the step's own diff
(the altitude finding: the diff is a fact, the Files: prose is not).
- release-check stops a suite that never ends (15 minutes) and reads it as
not measured (exit 2).
- The two lines this release added to pre-bash-executor.mjs are ASCII.
- MINOR: git and the other runners share one plain-word pattern.
Not in this round: MINOR f00a2eb8 (shared norm/ticked-path and isMain
helpers) and MINOR on plan-review-dedup's repeated tokenizing.
Suite 2194 (2192/0/2).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Round 3 (v6.2.0..96cb977, BLOCK: 1 BLOCKER, 8 MAJOR, 2 MINOR), each fixed
behind a test that failed first.
- Every allowlisted runner, not only git, takes plain words and a short list
of options that only read: an option that writes a file or loads code
(--test-reporter-destination, --outputFile, --junitxml, --basetemp,
--import, --config, -p, -o, -exec, a reporter path) is on no list; after
`npm test --` only paths follow; `make test` takes no VAR=value. A built-in
node test reporter (tap, spec, dot, junit, lcov) stays allowed.
- /trekexecute: a restore the guard refuses (destructive git, in the mode
that shows no prompts) or the operator declines is never recorded as
reverted: simplify = "revert-refused" and the run stops before review; a
refused step revert is reported with its paths.
- stepTestsOnly: a fixture document under tests/ is a test file, "e.g." is
not a path, ./ is dropped; the plan-file sweep reads Files: with the same
reader (fieldPaths); the validator hands its parsed fields over.
- plan-validator --steps-from asks for Verify: on a 1.8 plan too.
- skill frontmatter: a value starting with # is a hazard; a quote after an
escaped backslash closes the value. Routing reads kind tags with hasOwn.
- release-check reads scope_sha_end as written (an all-digit sha keeps its
leading zero), and Voyage's own artifacts under .claude/projects/ and
.claude/voyage/ committed after the review do not count as unreviewed.
Suite 2170 (2168/0/2).

1. A step of only tests can never be proven red. One reading,
stepTestsOnly (lib/parsers/plan-schema.mjs, test paths from the new
lib/util/test-path.mjs): the plan validator warns PLAN_STEP_TESTS_ONLY,
red-proof --plan/--step adds tests_only to a not-red-at-base, and
/trekexecute and the step helper send such a step straight up to the
plan instead of into fix rounds that cannot succeed. /trekplan, the plan
template and plan-critic (dimension 8, still 12) say the test belongs in
the step that builds the behaviour.
2. Timing tests under load: the hook helper's kill limit is 30 s and per
call overridable; SC #14 passes on the fastest of up to three runs
against the same 800 ms limit (tests/helpers/timing.mjs).
3. The example plan's On failure lines open with a K11 word.
4. /trekreview saves the reviewer's whole answer for the findings check and
names FINDING_PROSE_LINE_OUT_OF_RANGE (error: re-ask; warning: report).
5. The criteria runner's commands run without NODE_TEST_CONTEXT
(commandEnv, moved to lib/util/command-env.mjs).
6. The resolver returns effort only when the brief's phase signal sets one;
the four commands said it always did.
Also: the K2 hook tests used fixed session ids in a per-user temp dir, so
two suites running at once took each other's approval records; the ids are
now unique per run.

Union lines resolved: CLAUDE.md command table keeps main's /trekresearch

architecture block now counts the three skills main ships (it said 2

Contracts run against the real ones on the merged tree: K10/K11 (plan
validator refuses a piped Regression:, warns on an unknown On failure:;
regression-check passes/fails/absent/unrunnable), S2 (skills/test-first
and skills/debugging exist, voyage:<name> form as 7a chose), K7 (real
review_version 1.1 WARN -> 0, a BLOCK copy -> 1, a 1.0 review with no
verdict -> 2). npm test: 2102 / 2100 pass / 0 fail / 2 skipped.

In the permission mode that shows no prompts, pre-bash-executor refused only a
merge into main and a push. A tag, a package publish and destructive git still
went through unattended, which is what the approval guard exists to stop. Now
every call it would ask about, and a command it could not read, is refused
there with the way forward (operator decision 2026-10-09). No new exemption:
the mode is still read in one place.

Wave 2, order 6. /trekexecute now:
- refuses a plan whose logged approval does not cover its current sha256
(K2, approval-log verify --kind plan), before step 1;
- runs the step check (K9) and the step's optional Regression: (K10, new
lib/verification/regression-check.mjs through the criteria runner) at step
end, before the checkpoint; exit 2 is "not measured", never green;
- runs the architecture rules (K5) and the plan-file sweep (K6) after the last
step; a violation or a file outside the plan turns completed into partial;
- reviews by itself in the closing run (Phase 7.2): run the thing, /simplify,
/trekreview, verdict-gate; a BLOCK adds the review's remediation steps after
the plan validator accepts them and the operator re-approves the plan, capped
at TREKEXECUTE_MAX_REVIEW_ROUNDS (3);
- makes the main-merge gate a lock on the verdict: BLOCK or undecided keeps
the merge closed; when open, the executor merges and the guard's question is
the one question (operator decision 2026-10-08). The --gates pause before
the wave merge-back is gone for the same reason.
The guard refuses a merge into main and a push in the permission mode that
shows no prompts, since no one can be asked (operator decision 2026-10-09; two
mode-read exemptions approved by the operator).
progress.json gains optional coupling fields (Handover 5); the validator
rejects the runner's exitCode in plan_verification.failed_criteria (C15).
Pointer lines name the skills test-first and debugging (S2).

The minor points (B8-B12, C13, C14, C16, C17) of the second voyage-lekerepo
trial (2026-10-08), each verified against the code and started with a test
that failed first.
- K10: optional step field `Regression:` - one command the criteria runner
allows, unpiped; plan-validator refuses one that can never run
(PLAN_STEP_REGRESSION_NOT_RUNNABLE). Any plan_version, no bump.
- K11: `On failure:` opens with revert | retry | skip | escalate, or the
validator warns (PLAN_STEP_ON_FAILURE_UNKNOWN); onFailureAction in
plan-schema.
- B8 (operator decision 2026-10-08): minors open after the last critic round
are listed numbered in the Phase 10 summary; the ones the operator picks are
fixed and get one more round (--extra-round when the 3 are spent).
- B11: plan-review dedup merges two reviewers' findings on the same file:line
with the same content (trial pair: Jaccard 0.44, overlap 0.83); the Jaccard
threshold for every other pair is unchanged.
- B12: /trekbrief Step 4c says the reviewer runs in the background and is
waited for, not "foreground, blocking".
- C13: the Phase 4 size count includes .mjs, .cjs, .mts, .cts.
- C14: --evidence shows the first output line on PASS rows.
- C16: findings-schema checks path:line citations in finding prose (error) and
in the prose around the block (warning) against the file.
- C17: git-historian gets the brief, never proposes changing a frozen file,
and names the remote from `git remote -v`.

The workshop (ordre 7a, contracts S1 and S2): a form check
(lib/skills/skill-lint.mjs) that follows Claude Code's own skill fields,
and a model-free routing test (lib/skills/routing.mjs) over every skill,
the 7 commands and the 21 spawnable agents, reading the eval cases
themselves (evals/skill-*, 3 fire / 2 quiet / 1 effect, tagged with the
event they came from). Thresholds pinned, never lowered.
The two skills were written against failures measured first in helpers
without them: red only as an import crash, the whole suite run from a
hand-made file list instead of the repo's own command, and an
unreproduced fix shipped under authority pressure. step-implementer
preloads both through its skills: line; no tool list change.

P13 (wave 2, order 8). docs/release-runbook.md has three parts: before the
release, the release, and the rollback. The rollback was drilled first, in a
sandbox with local bare repos as the remotes: a release 6.2.0 -> 6.2.1, then
path A (git revert, catalog ref back to v6.2.0) and path B (a forward patch
6.2.2 that carries the revert), with the catalog's check-versions green after
each. Nothing reached a real remote; the real catalog was byte-identical
before and after.
Measured: release-plugin.mjs refuses a ref backwards while plugin.json still
says the newer version, and accepts it once the release commit is reverted.
scripts/release-check.mjs decides before a release: clean tree, npm test
green at HEAD, review verdict not BLOCK (K7) and covering HEAD, and a door
type per delivery (### Doors in the CHANGELOG section). 0 ready, 1 not
ready, 2 could not run (never green). A ready run prints the K2 command that
logs the operator's yes.
tests/lib/release-prose-pins.test.mjs holds every command in the rollback
part to the commands the drill ran (tests/fixtures/release-drill/).

- The pre-compact hook read only a checkpoint that started with `git commit`,
so every plan in the new `git add … && git commit` form rebuilt nothing, and
an empty match also skipped the session-state refresh. It now finds the
commit anywhere in the span and always refreshes; first test for the hook.
- A sub-bullet that carries its own command stays a criterion (folding it
left the command unrun); the shallowest bullet sets the base indent.
- Only a MINOR/SUGGESTION /code-review finding outside the range is released
from forbidding ALLOW: a MAJOR one may be a break cited at an unchanged
caller.
- `reuse` is an improvement category; the session-spec template stages too;
a negated bash 3.2 constraint, an env prefix and `bash -c` are handled.
- Stale comment, Declined-to-Judge wording and rule-key counts brought in line.
Tests fail on 7c11c2a first (9 of 24).

voyage-lekerepo trial 2 (2026-10-08), report section A; the operator decided
they are fixed before the next release:
- A1: a /code-review finding whose category is simplification, efficiency,
style or readability enters as CODE_REVIEW_IMPROVEMENT (MINOR), not MAJOR.
- A2: recommended_action is the engine's own fix when transcribed, otherwise
a test-first step; never the failure scenario dressed as a remedy.
- A3: a /code-review finding outside the exact range it was given is declined
and listed, but no longer holds ALLOW back; /security-review's still does.
- A4: the manifest must_contain recipe uses grep -E -e ... -- so a pattern
like --sep is not read as an option.
- A5: indented sub-points belong to their criterion (counted), and a
criterion with sub-points and no command warns BRIEF_SC_SUBPOINTS.
- A6: a brief requiring bash 3.2 whose criterion runs plain bash warns
BRIEF_SC_BASH_NOT_PINNED; /trekbrief proposes /bin/bash.
- A7: the plan template's and /trekplan's checkpoints stage the step's files.
Tests fail on 5f9faee first (tests/lib/trial2-fixes.test.mjs, 11 of 14).

Independent read-only review of c56f852..2d29966 (2026-10-08), each defect
reproduced by the reviewer; each new test fails on that code.
- test-lock green ran ANY allowlisted command: `green --cmd "git status"`
marked a red step green and the stop guard let it stop. The lock now
stores the step's test command (`lock --cmd`); `green` runs only that
one (a different --cmd, or a lock without one, exits 2). trekexecute D1
calls `green` with no command, which also removes the quoting hazard.
- plan-gate --accept-open worked at round 1 and passed the gate; it now
refuses while rounds are left.
- findings-schema --repo-root swallowed a following flag, or took a root
that does not exist, and silently skipped the line check: exit 2.
- brief-review-stamp hashed only the body, so a changed `framing` or
`research_topics` stayed "current"; it now covers the reviewed
frontmatter too (only the post-review stamps are left out).
- red-proof red_kind read an assertion message naming SyntaxError as a
load error; the signatures are now specific.

voyage-lekerepo trial (2026-10-06) point 6, operator decision 2026-10-08
(«samme skala, og du spør»): the critics rated a non-discriminating test
minor in round 3, there was no way to fix it after the last round, it was
built, and /trekreview called the same weakness MAJOR (MISSING_TEST).
- plan-critic, scope-guardian: rate on the review catalogue's tiers; a test
that cannot fail on a wrong implementation is major, never minor.
- plan-gate: an open MAJOR stops (PLAN_GATE_OPEN_MAJOR: revise and run the
next round; PLAN_GATE_OPEN_MAJOR_FINAL after the last round: ask the
operator). --accept-open records "build as is" after their yes, bound to
the round and the plan hash; never for a blocker.

round) or build as is, instead of carrying the majors silently.

- trekplan: the "Adaptive" hard rule (a 10-file project does not need 7
agents) contradicted Phase 5 ("All agents run for all codebase sizes");
it is gone, in line with quality before cost.
- brief-review-stamp.mjs: /trekbrief stamps the brief body when its
brief-reviewer gate passes; /trekplan Phase 4b skips its own review only
while the stamp is current. Stale (edited) or absent (another producer,

voyage-lekerepo end-to-end trial (2026-10-06), report points 1, 5, 11:
- engine-findings: recommended_action is "Fix <file:line> so this no longer
happens: <failure scenario>", not "Resolve: <title>" (8 of 8 engine
findings were set aside as actionability:empty); the coordinator never
sets an engine finding aside for Actionability.
- findings-schema --repo-root: a cited line past the end of an existing
file is FINDING_LINE_OUT_OF_RANGE, so Phase 5's bounded re-ask fixes it
before the coordinator sees it. The reviewers' instruction said "the
actual line number from the diff"; it now says the file's own line,
never the patch's.
- fill-finding-ids.mjs: the coordinator (no shell) writes @@ID_<n>@@ and
trekreview Phase 7 computes them over (file, line, rule_key); an
unresolved placeholder or a wrong 40-hex id fails. The 4-field id with
`title` the docs named is gone; the code always used three.

voyage-lekerepo end-to-end trial (2026-10-06), report points 2, 3, 4, 9:
11 of 13 brief criteria were NOT RUN at review with no warning in /trekbrief;
a plan `git grep` criterion passed validator, gate and three critic rounds,
then felled the run in Phase 7; the End-to-end field and Phase 7's text
search never met; a prose Verify left the test command undefined.
- criteria-runner: runnableCheck() screens a declared check without running
it (same allowlist; an npm run script is not looked up at write time);
/bin/bash tests/<script> allowed; the plan report carries end_to_end,
verified when a passed criterion runs a step's End-to-end command (the
older text form still counts).
- plan-validator 1.8: PLAN_VERIFICATION_NOT_RUNNABLE,
PLAN_STEP_VERIFY_NOT_RUNNABLE, PLAN_END_TO_END_NOT_RUNNABLE,
PLAN_END_TO_END_NOT_VERIFIED (the gate inherits them).
- brief-validator: BRIEF_SC_NOT_RUNNABLE warning; /trekbrief offers a
tests/ script; brief-reviewer no longer proposes unrunnable commands.
- trekexecute: Phase 7 copies end_to_end from the runner; Verify's test
command is its first backticked span.
Measured on the trial's own brief and plan: 11 warnings (the 11 NOT RUN),
and the plan stops on V5 git grep and the unlisted End-to-end command.

Wave 1, order 3 (P3 plan mode as the start, P2 design as its own part, P9
plan side). Contracts K3-K6 for the later merges.
- plan_version 1.8 (1.7 plans stay valid): Test first on every step, one
End-to-end ("run the thing") step, optional Interface in / Interface out /
Review focus fields, a ceremony class in the header (absent =
architectural), and for architectural plans a ## Design part: module map
without cycles, architecture rules that name their enforcer and the step
that proves them, a requirements check asked as keep / change.
- K3 lib/validators/plan-gate.mjs: the critic verdict is recorded INSIDE the
plan (Claude Code's plan approval hands a hook only the plan file's text),
bound to the hash taken before the reviewers read it; 0 go / 1 stop / 2
could not run; at most 3 critic rounds, then stop and ask.
- K5 lib/verification/arch-rules.mjs: runs the target repo's own
dependency-cruiser or import-linter (installs nothing; 2 = not measured,
never green); --prove --rule shows pass -> fail on a planted violation of
that rule -> pass. Verified against dependency-cruiser 18.5.0 and
import-linter 2.15; madge 8.0.0 left out (missed a planted .mjs cycle).
- K6 lib/verification/plan-scope-sweep.mjs: changed files no step names.
- /trekplan Phases 8-10: design part, bounded critic loop, the gate before
"execute", a plan-mode path through ExitPlanMode (not yet run end to end
inside plan mode). plan-critic 10 -> 12 dimensions; scope-guardian checks
the ceremony.
- Fixed on the way: plan-validator and plan-review-dedup used the
file://argv[1] main guard (no-op under a symlink or a space); CRLF plans
failed every manifest; the dedup dropped finding severity.

Operator decision 2026-10-06. Before, a WARN that existed only because a
reviewer or engine never reported (e.g. /security-review without an origin
remote) mapped to verdict-gate exit 0, so a review nobody performed in full
was green. Now `missing-reviewer:` / `unattributable-payload` in the JSON
block's allow_blocked_by is exit 2 (could not decide, never green); a WARN
for a MAJOR or a set-aside finding still passes with its reasons. A 1.1
review must carry allow_blocked_by.

An adversarial read of d88245c reproduced 15 problems; all fixed here, each
with a test that fails on the old code.
- verdict-gate: a greener verdict must be backed by the LAST fence being a
`json` block of the right shape, with no BLOCKER in the JSON (any case),
in `## Findings (BLOCKER)`, or a differing finding-id list; two verdict
lines and more than one file argument are exit 2. ({}, null, lowercase
"blocker", a trailing ```jsonc and a later json fence all gave exit 0.)
- engine-findings: a transcribed "narrower" key can no longer lower an
engine tier; absolute paths under --repo-root match the scope; "12" lines
parse; an empty scope is an error; out-of-scope engine findings are
unverified (`engine:out-of-scope`) and forbid ALLOW.
- recurrence: the catch-all engine keys and keys normalised from unknown
ones are never proposed; the same unfixed finding in two iterations is not
a recurrence; proposals are validated before they are offered; \r/U+2028
and damaged markers are refused; writes go through a symlinked CLAUDE.md.
Prose points --repo at the session directory, not the git toplevel.
- Workflow substrate: engines are counted from what arrived, and the
verdict's floor is recomputed from the coordinator's findings; now tested
by running the script with stubbed Workflow globals. Two literal NUL bytes
written as \u0000 (git saw the file as binary).
- Trimming keeps Pass 1's "Also flagged by" provenance; `## Declined to
Judge` and remediation steps are required from review_version 1.1 only
(N-1); the zero-diff review now carries the JSON block the gate needs.

/trekexecute no longer builds steps itself. Each plan step is built by one
fresh helper (new agent step-implementer: opus, effort high, no Agent tool)
and judged by one controller (a general helper on opus) that reads the
diff from a recorded start_sha and gives two verdicts, spec and quality.
Fix rounds go up, maximum 5: three fixes by a fresh helper, then back to
the plan, then to the operator. No cheaper-model ladder.
Proof is a command, never the model's word:
- lib/verification/red-proof.mjs: the step's test must fail at the start
point and pass at the result (exit 0/1/2; 2 is never green). Reproduces
the 02243c6 red-first measurement (6 of 55) through the shim fixture.
- lib/verification/test-integrity.mjs: the floor guard on the diff
(removed asserts, skipped/deleted tests, muted checks, stubs, loosened
thresholds). Over the last 150 commits: 149 clean, 1 real finding.
- lib/verification/done-line.mjs: DONE step N only when the test command
exits 0.
Test first is required from plan_version 1.8. The test lock (K8) is used
through its CLI and reported as not-locked while it is missing. A run
stops only on a closed list of four classes; every other call goes into a
decision log with its cost if wrong. Without a passing run-the-thing
criterion the result is not verified end to end, never green.
Handover 5 gains optional per-step start_sha, report_path, red_proof,
test_lock, fix_rounds (0-5) and run-level decisions and end_to_end; old
progress files still validate and resume.
No isolation on the helper: measured, a worktree-isolated subagent
branches from the default branch (02f320f), not the executor's HEAD
(2c89a6b), so it would miss the earlier steps.

Ordre 5 (wave 1, P11 + P5), review_version 1.1.
- K7: `verdict: ALLOW | WARN | BLOCK` is required in review.md (strict
error, soft warning for 1.0 reviews). New CLI lib/review/verdict-gate.mjs:
0 = ALLOW/WARN, 1 = BLOCK, 2 = could not decide (never green); a verdict
greener than the file's own BLOCKERs or JSON block is exit 2. Realpath
main guard (the old file:// guard exits 0 under a symlink - measured).
- No finding is struck for length: succinctness trims only MINOR/SUGGESTION
text (catalogue tier), keeps BLOCKER/MAJOR whole, counts trims; the
coordinator lists what it declined to judge.
- Claude Code's /code-review and /security-review run as the engine via the
Skill tool (never --fix/--comment/--post/ultra); lib/review/engine-findings.mjs
turns their findings into a reviewer payload; two catalogue keys
(CODE_REVIEW_DEFECT, SECURITY_REVIEW_VULNERABILITY), catalogue 12 -> 14.
An engine that did not run forbids ALLOW.
- Every BLOCKER is written as a numbered `### Step R<n>` with its source
finding (strict error REVIEW_MISSING_REMEDIATION_STEP).
- P5: lib/review/recurrence.mjs - a finding class in two review.md files
(current + git history, no new store) becomes one proposal, routed by the
catalogue's memory_route; written only between Voyage markers in
.claude/rules/voyage-review-lessons.md under a size budget, CLAUDE.md gets
a pointer only; the operator approves every line (Phase 8.7).
- Workflow substrate: catalogue enum in step; a missing reviewer or engine
forbids ALLOW there too (it returned ALLOW on zero findings before).
- Fixtures review-run-A/B said WARN over a BLOCKER; now BLOCK.

P1 (order 2, wave 1). /trekbrief puts the task in a size class
(ceremony: small|bounded|architectural, K1; heaviest in doubt, said
aloud, overridable, only moved up) that sets the question budget and the
review cap, and asks one round of questions: facts looked up, never
asked; recommendation first; ranked by impact x uncertainty with a
visible Deferred list; stop when the next three answers can be predicted.
"høres bra ut", "gjør som du vil" and an empty answer are not approval.
K2: lib/util/approval-log.mjs, an append-only hash-chained log in the
target repo (.claude/voyage/approvals.jsonl) bound to the approved
content's sha256; append/verify (0/1/2), answer, digest. Committed by
lib/util/artifact-commit.mjs: the log always, the brief and plan only
with artifact_store: git (operator decision 2026-10-06). /trekplan
Phase 1 halts on a broken, diverged, missing or mismatched log entry;
Phase 11 logs and commits an explicit plan approval before any handoff.
Both new brief fields are optional: no brief_version bump. The
main-module guard in intent-approval.mjs and brief-validator.mjs now
compares real paths. Borrowings credited in the prose and module headers.

Operator rule (2026-10-05): standard is Opus 5.5 at reasoning effort High. Four retrieval agents (architecture-mapper, dependency-tracer, git-historian, task-finder) pinned effort: medium in frontmatter, which overrides the session level, so every /trekplan exploration ran part of its swarm below the floor. They came from fdd3ad8 on the premise that unpinned agents inherit high; e4e37f9 corrected that (unpinned inherits the session; Opus 5.5 defaults to medium), so the reason for medium was already gone. All four now pin high; the other agents keep following the session (operator's choice). docs/profiles.md (one bullet for the eight pinned agents), CLAUDE.md and README.md updated; the model-default sentence stays. Dated decision records and CHANGELOG untouched.
Red: 4 of 5 new tests fail on the pre-fix files - effort floor over all agents (offenders: the four), the four pin exactly high, no live doc says retrieval runs at medium (hits docs/profiles.md:76, CLAUDE.md:85, README.md:806), profiles.md names the four as high. Known-positive control green on arrival.
Verify 153/153 (agent-frontmatter, doc-consistency). SC9 probe: npm test green under a scratch HOME with CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA empty, nothing under its plugin data dir. Suite 1393 (1391/0/2).
The change is repo-true, not installed-true, until a release.

Phase 9 said 'append to ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/trekexecute-stats.jsonl; if it is not set, skip silently' - the Bash tool env never carries it. It now runs stats-append.mjs trekexecute with the record on stdin, the /trekbrief Phase 7 shape, and reports a written:false. The gates_mode_flag_override record was prose with no writer; it now has an event-emit block (fixed literal payload: --gates is a boolean flag) and a documented shape {ts, event, known_event, payload:{flag, signal_effort}}. Phase 8's three event blocks spliced ${PLAN_PATH} (set in an earlier Bash call that does not survive) and ${WAVE_COUNT} (never assigned) into a double-quoted payload, so a literal run printed payload-not-json, and the decline reason was operator free text in a shell argument. Payloads are now single-quoted with {plan-path} / {wave-count} placeholders and the literal label hold-for-review; each call runs on its own and a written:false is printed and passed. docs/architecture.md and the jsonl-schemas rows (writer, measured line_refs) follow.
Red: 7 of 7 new tests fail on the pre-fix text (Phase 9 writer + no 'skip silently', Phase 9 record lands, no bare ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/...jsonl target, no shell expansion in --payload, the three Phase 8 blocks land known events when run as written in a fresh shell, the written:false sentence, the override writer and shape).
Verify 198/198 (stats-landing, main-merge-gate, gates-flag-coverage, profile-stats-fields, plugin-root-resolution, doc-consistency, no-claude-code-launch). Suite 1383 (1381/0/2).

event-emit returned {written:false, reason:'CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA unset'} whenever the harness did not export the variable - the normal case for the Bash tool - so /trekexecute's Phase 8 events never landed. It now resolves the directory through stats-append's resolveStatsDir (one resolver; opts.path still wins, so intent-approval is unchanged). The CLI uses the realpath isMain() guard (the file:// guard was a silent no-op under a symlink or a path with a space) and exits 1 on every written:false - usage error, payload-not-json, failed write - instead of always 0. KNOWN_EVENTS gains main-merge-approved, main-merge-declined and gates_mode_flag_override, which /trekexecute emits by design. Header, intent-approval docstring (comment only), docs/operations.md and the README autonomy sentence (wrong state names, 'records each transition') updated.
Red: 10 of 20 tests fail on the pre-fix code - 7 new (CLI lands with CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA empty / absent, unwritable target exit 1, usage error exit 1, symlink, space path, known events) and 3 inverted contracts. Regression guards (green on arrival): never throws when unwritable; no second copy of the fallback directory name.
Inverted (the contract this changes, not deleted): emit with no CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA (silent skip) -> lands under a pinned HOME; never throws when unwritable -> a genuinely unwritable target (env {} now resolves to the real home); resolveStatsPath({}) === null -> the fallback path; malformed --payload exit 0 -> exit 1.
Readers checked: otel-export keys on 'event', yardstick counts only user_input, cache-analyzer and research-loop-cap name event-emit only in comments. Verify 268/268 (stats-event-emit, intent-approval, doc-consistency, otel-export-validators, yardstick). Suite 1376 (1374/0/2); non-hook lines in the real trekexecute-stats.jsonl 60 before and after.
