A new skill, voyage:reviewing-adversarially (contract S4): no praise, no
finding without a source (file:line or a quoted line), no downgrade without
a reason, summary-only said and not judged, a Declined to Judge list, claims
checked against the diff rather than the report, axes kept separate.
Red baseline first: six review runs by helpers without the skill (two
invented fixtures) had no separate Declined to Judge list in 6 of 6, an
unsourced finding in 6 of 6, praise in 2 of 6 and a verdict on something
unmeasured in 4 of 6. With the skill: 6 of 6, 0, 0 and 0.
- brief-conformance-reviewer, code-correctness-reviewer, review-coordinator
and scope-guardian preload it through skills:; the 21-line "Interaction
Awareness - MANDATORY OVERRIDE" block copied into three of them is gone.
Each agent keeps its own role.
- The two reviewers and scope-guardian end with their own Declined to Judge
list; /trekreview names the skill at spawn and passes the reviewers'
lines to the coordinator, which copies them into review.md as prose
(the JSON declined_to_judge array and the verdict are unchanged).
- Eval cases 3 / 2 / 1; pins in tests/lib/skills-review-prose-pins.test.mjs.
- tests/fixtures/jsonl-schemas.md: the trekreview-stats line_ref moves with
Phase 8 (636-686).

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.
- trekplan Phase 9: REVISE after the last round asks fix now (one extra
round) or build as is, instead of carrying the majors silently.

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.

Phase 9's dedup hand-off was broken on two layers, both surfaced by the S22
dogfood: (a) plan-critic + scope-guardian (Read/Glob/Grep, no Write) were told
to write /tmp/*-out.json the dedup helper reads — they cannot; (b) even with
Write, their Output format emits markdown, not the helper's
{agent,findings:[{file,line,rule_key,text}]} schema. readJsonOrNull then
swallowed the absent files -> a silent empty merge that discarded every finding.
Fix (operator-chosen A'): keep the reviewers read-only; make the hand-off run.
- plan-review-dedup.mjs gains a --stdin mode reading {plan_critic,scope_guardian};
malformed stdin exits non-zero so a broken hand-off surfaces loudly instead of
collapsing into a silent empty merge. File mode + its tests are untouched.
- plan-critic.md + scope-guardian.md now emit a trailing machine-readable `json`
findings block (the inline hand-off; no Write tool needed).
- trekplan.md + planning-orchestrator.md Phase 9 rewritten in lockstep: extract
both blocks, pipe via heredoc into --stdin. No temp files, portable, no
pathguard dependency.
TDD: malformed-stdin test failed first (CLI ignored stdin -> exit 0 = the bug),
green after impl. New S23 doc-pin asserts both docs use --stdin (not the dead
/tmp paths) and both agents declare the json block. Suite 724 (722/2/0); live
HEAD baseline was 720, not the stale 705 STATE carried forward.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01LqBYc8Ltrk7LipyJmGxXiB
Flip model: sonnet → model: opus across 20 agent files, 4 prose references
in commands (trekplan, trekresearch), trekendsession command frontmatter,
and CLAUDE.md tables. Aligns CLAUDE.md premium-profile row to actual
premium.yaml content (all-opus, which has been the case since v4.1.0 but
the doc was drift). Companion to VOYAGE_PROFILE=premium env-var (set in
~/.zshenv same day) — env-var governs orchestrator phase model; this
commit governs sub-agent models which are frontmatter-pinned and not
reachable by the profile resolver.
npm test: 516 pass, 0 fail, 2 skipped (unchanged from baseline).
Operator rationale: complete Opus coverage across all Voyage activity,
including the 20 sub-agents that the profile system does not control
(architecture-mapper, task-finder, plan-critic, scope-guardian,
brief-reviewer, code-correctness-reviewer, brief-conformance-reviewer,
review-coordinator, session-decomposer, plus the 6 researcher agents,
plus the 5 codebase-analysis agents).
Cost implication: sub-agent runs ~5x more expensive vs sonnet. Accepted.
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.
