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.

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
root-CLAUDE.md warning).
