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 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).

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).

/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.

/trekexecute writes run status stopped (dirty-tree stop, entry-condition stop, escalation) and step status blocked (Step 0 sandbox sentinel); the validator rejected the first and warned on the second. Both are real states lib/util/session-orders.mjs already reads (ENDED_BAD), so the validator learns them. The step-status list is exported as PROGRESS_STEP_STATUSES (was an inline literal) so tests check prose against it instead of keeping a copy. docs/HANDOVER-CONTRACTS.md Handover 5 rows updated.
Red: 3 of 4 new tests fail on the pre-fix code (stopped run status, PROGRESS_STEP_STATUSES export, blocked step status). Regression guard (green on arrival): every run status but completed stays resumable.
