The four profiles, the resolver, the profile validator and docs/profiles.md go;
/trekbrief Phase 3.5 and the brief's phase_signals checks go (an older brief's
key is ignored); MANIFEST_PROFILE_DRIFT and profile_used go. Every Profile,
Composition rule, Sequencing gate and High-effort section leaves the commands.
Decision 209: /trekresearch runs the full swarm with contrarian-researcher as
wave 2 every run; /trekreview and the coordinator run all four passes with no
high-effort normalization. Voyage agents are spawned with no model (their own
model: opus applies); the two built-in spawns pass model "opus". --profile
stays in the parser as a retired flag that swallows its value. §Model & effort
moves to docs/architecture.md; the sequencing-gate eval case goes.

/trekresearch loses Phase 4.5, the bounded Phase 5 loop (Phase 5 keeps its
single pass of at most 2 follow-ups), the --engine flag, the deep-research
adapter and its output self-check. hooks.json loses the pre-agent-cap
PreToolUse entry (README: 9 hooks = 9 scripts). The STORM env vars leave the
docs; query-privacy-gate.mjs stays, called by no command, and says so.
Files removed: 13 (4 docs, 1 hook, 1 lib module, 1 script, 5 tests, 1 fixture).
Files edited: 17. Tests: 2600 (2598 pass / 0 fail / 2 skipped) before,
2467 (2466 pass / 0 fail / 1 skipped, R3 pending) after.
Durable check: group R2 green and no longer pending.

Removes Voyage's measurement, statistics and export apparatus (decision 189;
condition 175 met in step 1) and the R-a leftovers: lib/stats/, lib/exporters/,
the otel-export and post-bash-stats hooks, yardstick, end-state and comparison
gates, synthesis-measure, gold-scorer, docs/observability.md,
examples/observability/, docs/T1-cc26-delegated-orchestration.md and their
tests and fixtures. The six command stats phases and the /trekexecute
main-merge event blocks go; intent-approval --stamp no longer emits
brief-approved. README and docs point to Claude Code's own OpenTelemetry.
Files removed: 52. Files edited: 37.
npm test: 2930 tests (2928 pass / 0 fail / 2 skipped) before, 2600 tests
(2598 pass / 0 fail / 2 skipped) after. removed-surfaces group R1 green.

R4-R7 of the cleanup list (decision 188): the June trial docs and
fixtures, the three orchestrator reference docs, the dormant
synthesis-agent, code with no caller (project-discovery, bash-normalize,
fidelity-diff, test-census, the next-session prompt validator, arm B and
the --workflow flag) and the fix-round chain. Living docs repointed; the
reasons for in-session orchestration and the all-opus pin are now written
in docs/architecture.md and docs/profiles.md.
New tests/lib/living-paths.test.mjs: living tracked text names only
plugin paths that exist (seen red with 22 dead pointers before this
commit). docs/T1-cc26-delegated-orchestration.md and
lib/review/gold-scorer.mjs stay until R-b: the frozen end-state registry
names them.

R8 of cleanup R-a (plan .claude/projects/2026-11-07-cleanup-r-a, appendix A).
The live tests of the round files move into the test named after their
source; each moved test was seen red under a mutation of its source.
New: tests/lib/lib-imports.test.mjs, tests/lib/timing.test.mjs (from
timing-under-load). The [#1] --gates rule and shim-line pins move into
tests/lib/autonomy-gate.test.mjs.
Removed: the round test files (retterunde, retterunde-prose-pins,
trial-mechanical-fixes, trial2-fixes, trial2-minor, trial2-minor-prose-pins,
fix-round-4-5a-prose, fix-round-4-5b2-b-prose, timing-under-load), the 8 R8
e2e scripts, and seven round test files on the R-a removal list that pinned
them (fix-round-4-5b-prose, fix-round-4-5b-part-2/3/4-scripts,
fix-round-4-5b-part-4-prose, fix-round-4-5b2-b/c-scripts). The diff-mode e2e
pin (test 24) and the red-script round-wrapper cases go too.
tests/synthetic/plan-run-C.md becomes tests/fixtures/plan-run-c.md,
regenerated from buildPlan({ version: '1.9' }). The red judge, reporter and
judge test headers now name the shared red script.

CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA is empty in the Bash tool's process env, and the Phase 5
bash snippet is the cap's only caller. resolveLedgerPath() returned null there
and allowTurn() failed closed, so the budget gate denied turn 1 of every real
run: the loop this delivery exists to bound could never spend a turn, and the
pre-registered measurement could not be run at all.
resolveDataRoot() is now the single root for everything the loop writes --
CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA when the harness sets it, ~/.claude/voyage when it does
not. Three consumers resolve through it, which is the point: the cap ledger,
the PreToolUse hook's scope-marker lookup, and the command's bash snippets.
A writer and a reader that resolved the root separately are what made the
enforcement hook allow unconditionally in every real run while CLAUDE.md and
docs/architecture.md called it enforcing.
Same root cause, same commit:
- Marker write and remove now share ONE absolute-path guard and one root; the
write requires a non-empty CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID before composing the path
(unset, the marker was named `.json`, which no lookup matches and no TTL
sweep cleans up).
- The per-turn gates resolve VOYAGE_ROOT with a plugin-cache fallback and
reserve exit 2 for "gate could not run". Interpolating an empty
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} ran `node /lib/...` -> exit 1, which the contract read
as "privacy gate says no" -- an unsatisfiable rewrite loop no query could
clear.
Two now-unreachable deny branches are removed rather than left as dead safety
claims (allowTurn's no_plugin_data_dir; the hook's uncountable-ledger deny).
The fail-closed stance stays where it is still real: a ledger that cannot be
WRITTEN denies the turn.
Verified end-to-end through the real bash snippets and the real hook with both
variables stripped and HOME sandboxed: marker written under the fallback root,
8 turns spent, 9th denied, hook exits 2, and exits 0 again after removal.
Note: the fallback exit-2 branch fires against the installed v5.9.1 cache,
which predates lib/util/research-loop-cap.mjs -- correct behaviour, and it
clears when the plugin is reinstalled.

CLAUDE.md claimed both STORM phases go inert when the flag is unset. Only
Phase 5 did: the flag check lives in research-loop-cap.mjs, and Phase 4.5
never invokes the cap — it was gated on effort: high alone. At high effort
with the flag unset, discovery still mined Phase-4 output and mutated the
dimension list, so `dimensions` diverged from `dimensions_baseline` and the
decline branch was unreachable for half the mechanism.
The code was the deviator, so the guard is fixed rather than the claim: the
Phase 4.5 skip-guard now names both conditions, with the reason inline.
Three surfaces scoped the flag to "the loop" and are corrected with it
(README, docs/command-modes, docs/architecture), plus the orchestrator phase
map. CLAUDE.md's claim is now true, but its stated MECHANISM was not — Phase
4.5's inertness comes from its own guard, not from the cap module — so that
sentence is corrected too.
New doc-consistency pin: the flag must be documented as gating both phases on
all four reference surfaces. Review finding 00a3af1a.
