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 27.09.2026: Voyage works the PM way, so nothing in it
starts Claude Code. Work that needs another session becomes an order plus
a starter line the user gives a session they open themselves; Voyage
never starts the session.
/trekexecute's multi-session path (Phase 2.6) now prepares one wave at a
time: worktree per session, then lib/util/session-orders.mjs writes one
order per session (worktree, steps, done-condition, starter) plus
orders/wave.json, and the run stops. Running the same command again reads
each session's progress file (status mode), merges sequentially with
push-before-cleanup as before, and prepares the next wave. Phase 2.5 skips
the destructive pre-flight while a wave is in flight. Phase 7.6 recovery is
handed over the same way. Hard rule 21: never start Claude Code.
Removed with it, because they existed only for launched children: the
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY billing check (and its dry-run line and Hard rule 1
exception), the hooks-fire version precheck, the safety preamble, the
scoped-tool/turn/budget flags, templates/headless-launch-template.md, the
decomposer's launch.sh (now orders.md), /trekplan's "launch", the README
billing and MCP tuning sections, and scripts/q3-cache-prefix-experiment.mjs
(an experiment that spawned the binary; its results stay in docs/).
/trekresearch's deep-research pre-gate no longer runs the binary for its
version; the post-hoc check was already the authoritative guard.
Chose orders + starters over in-session subagents because the order's done
criterion asks for exactly that, and because /trekexecute disallows the
Agent tool on purpose (Hard rule 10); reopening that is a separate change.
Gate: 54 -> 0 hit lines outside EXEMPT. npm test 1250 (1245 pass, 0 fail,
5 skipped: 3 are the retired-reference scan without its local list).
verify.sh 7/0. The fixture run (tests/lib/session-orders.test.mjs) writes
two orders and wave.json for wave 1 and leaves a trap binary untouched.

gemini-bridge is dropped by operator directive (three repetitions). The drop is
permanent, not a wait-for-SDK-upgrade state, so the change clears every LIVE
surface that could still steer a run toward the agent and leaves the historical
record alone.
Live surfaces cleared: agents/gemini-bridge.md deleted; trekresearch (bridge
launch block, --local help, high-effort always-on pair, stats record,
degradation list), trekplan, trekbrief, research-orchestrator (mode table,
agent table, prompting block, summary line), README (feature prose, mode table,
agent prose, mermaid EXTERNAL node, conditional legend, optional-MCP
requirement, --local section), CLAUDE.md, settings.json (the whole
trekresearch.geminiBridge block), both templates, architecture.md,
command-modes.md.
trekplan high-effort Adversarial Pass 2 now degrades EXPLICITLY: it emits its
section with status "unavailable, skipped" instead of failing or vanishing. A
high-effort plan carrying no Pass 2 marker is indistinguishable from one whose
Pass 2 crashed, which is the failure mode this wording exists to prevent.
gemini_used is deliberately KEPT as a vestigial trekresearch stats field pinned
to false. Removing it would break the observability export schema for existing
consumers, and the directive was about the agent, not the field.
Not touched: CHANGELOG history and the measurement/decision docs keep their
gemini references. They record what a past version did or what was measured
then; rewriting them is the same defect class as bumping a version string
inside a measurement doc.
Driven test-first. Five new pins in tests/lib/doc-consistency.test.mjs, verified
RED before the edits, including a KNOWN-POSITIVE CONTROL asserting the
historical records still DO carry gemini references — so the empty result on
live surfaces is a measurement and not a broken query (Verifiseringsloven
ansikt 4). Agent inventory 24 -> 23 (20 spawnable + 3 orchestrator reference
docs); the <example>-block floor moves 34 -> 32 because an agent legitimately
left the inventory, not because examples went missing from a surviving one.
Docs: docs/T1-cc26-delegated-orchestration.md §8 item 3 claimed both the §6
synthesis-agent PoC and the §5 bake-off were "designed but unbuilt". That was
written in S7 and falsified the same afternoon by S12, which ran the §6 PoC and
recorded Δ main-context (faithful flow) = 0.0%, NEGATIVE. The stale wording is
what caused the settled PoC to be re-ordered as new work on 2026-09-02, so it is
struck rather than deleted and §6 gained a RUN AND DECLINED status block. The
finding is structural, not stochastic: Phase 5 spawns the exploration swarm
foreground (trekplan.md:158,338-341), so the outputs are already resident in
main before Phase 7 — delegating only the Phase-7 digest evicts nothing.
Also measured 2026-09-03 (CC 2.1.259): claude -p --output-format stream-json
runs on subscription auth with no ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and now emits a
subagent_stats block, so S12's environment-block premise is half stale. Recorded
in §8 item 4. It lowers the cost of §5; it changes nothing about §6.
Suite 1041 (1039/0/2), up from 1036 by exactly the five tests added.

Implements the CLAUDE.md cross-cutting invariant "brief framing must match
operator intent" as a controlled brief_version 2.1->2.2 bump (operator option A1).
Three defense layers, version-gated at >=2.2 so existing 2.0/2.1 briefs stay
valid (forward + backward compatible), mirroring the phase_signals >=2.1 gate:
- L1 framing: enum field (preserve|refine|replace|new-direction). Enum-checked
on any version when present (BRIEF_INVALID_FRAMING); missing at >=2.2 ->
BRIEF_MISSING_FRAMING. /trekbrief Phase 2.5 collects it BEFORE any brief prose
(non-skippable, even in --quick).
- L2 memory alignment: new brief-reviewer dimension 6 comparing brief Intent/Goal
+ framing against operator memory for explicit contradictions; degrades to
score 5 (N/A) when no memory context is supplied. Wired into Phase 4e gate
(memory_alignment.score >= 4).
- L3 obligatory ## TL;DR (<=5 content lines) at >=2.2; soft cap ->
BRIEF_TLDR_TOO_LONG warning.
trekreview briefs are exempt from the framing/TL;DR gate. Handover 1 PUBLIC
CONTRACT doc, README "What's new", and the CLAUDE.md invariant + agents table
(brief-reviewer 5->6 dimensions) updated to 2.2 (schema axis only; plugin
version badge + CHANGELOG remain S10).
Iron Law followed: validator tests red->green first. Tests 586 -> 606
(+20, 604 pass / 2 skip). claude plugin validate passes (pre-existing
CLAUDE.md root-context warning unchanged).

v5.1.0 shipped with an unquoted brief_version: 2.1 in trekbrief-template.md.
parseScalar coerced it to Number 2.1, and the sequencing gate guarded on
typeof === 'string', silently bypassing BRIEF_V51_MISSING_SIGNALS.
Three-part atomic fix:
- brief-validator.mjs:87+149 now accepts both string and number forms via
String(fm.brief_version) coercion.
- trekbrief-template.md quotes the value so new briefs parse as String.
- doc-consistency.test.mjs pins the QUOTED form going forward.
Three regression tests added in brief-validator.test.mjs.
The v4.2/v4.3 bespoke playground SPA (~388 KB), the /trekrevise command,
Handover 8 (annotation → revision), the supporting lib/ modules
(anchor-parser, annotation-digest, markdown-write, revision-guard), the
Playwright e2e suite, and the @playwright/test / @axe-core/playwright
devDeps are removed. A browser walkthrough found the playground borderline
unusable, and it duplicated the official /playground plugin's
document-critique / diff-review templates.
In their place: scripts/render-artifact.mjs — a small, zero-dependency
renderer that turns a brief/plan/review .md into a self-contained,
design-system-styled, zero-network .html (frontmatter folded into a
<details> block). /trekbrief, /trekplan, and /trekreview call it on their
last step and print the file:// link; to annotate, run /playground
(document-critique) on the .md and paste the generated prompt back.
Resolves the v4.3.1-deferred findings as moot (their target files are
deleted). npm test green: 509 tests, 507 pass, 0 fail, 2 skipped.

Bring the launch template (used by /ultraplan-local --decompose) into
contract-parity with the Phase 2.6 wave executor hardenings shipped in the
previous commit:
- GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS=0 exported once at the top
- MAX_TURNS / MAX_BUDGET_USD env-overridable (default 50 / 5)
- Absolute SHARED_CONTEXT_FILE built from brief + architecture
- SAFETY_PREAMBLE prepended to every per-session prompt (GH #36071 +
GH #52272 clarifications)
- Per-child --max-turns + --max-budget-usd + --append-system-prompt-file
- push-before-cleanup before merge AND in the cleanup_worktrees trap
- Three new template rules (16, 17, 18, 19) document the contract for
session-decomposer
Pin in tests/lib/doc-consistency.test.mjs locks all required substrings
against future regressions.
Adds the profile recommendation step to /ultrabrief-local Phase 4. The
brief stays universal (same questions, same template); the new step is
purely a processing-decision layer that records which profile downstream
commands should apply.
What lands:
- agents/profile-recommender.md — new sonnet agent that scores available
profiles against the finalized brief (keyword + NFR-signal matching,
axis bumps, hallucination gate that forbids inventing profile names).
Emits a fenced JSON block with ranked entries.
- templates/ultrabrief-template.md — frontmatter gains
recommended_profile, profile_match, profile_rationale (default values
applied when only `default` is available — true at M1).
- commands/ultrabrief-local.md — Phase 4 gains Step 4h with explicit
branches: short-circuit when only `default` exists; AskUserQuestion
confirmation when top score ≥ 0.7; explicit fallback message when below
threshold; manual selection sub-question on user override. Persists the
three frontmatter fields to brief.md after user confirmation. JSON
parser failure falls back to `default` with `profile_match: fallback`
rather than blocking — silent fallback is the worst outcome, but a
*visible* fallback is acceptable.
- scripts/profile-loader.mjs — adds selectRecommendation(ranked, opts) +
RECOMMENDATION_THRESHOLD=0.7 export. Single source of truth for the
threshold logic so the command spec and the helper agree.
- scripts/profile-loader.test.mjs — 10 new tests for selectRecommendation
(default-only, empty/malformed input, above/below threshold, custom
threshold, max-by-score, missing fields). Total now 36/36.
- README.md / CLAUDE.md / marketplace landing — docs reflect M0 + M1
shipped, M2 + M3 still pending.
In practice nothing changes for users at M1 because only `default` is
available — Step 4h takes the short-circuit path and writes
`profile_match: default-only`. M2 ships the additional profiles that
make the recommender meaningful.

Wave 1 of a 6-session parallel build revealed three failure modes:
(1) hallucinated completion (status=completed after 2/5 steps, last
tool call was an arbitrary file review), (2) fail-late bash (3/6
sessions had push blocked inside sub-agent sandbox after all work
was done), (3) no objective verification (plans were prose).
v1.7 closes all three by making the plan an executable contract.
Per-step YAML manifest (expected_paths, commit_message_pattern,
bash_syntax_check, forbidden_paths, must_contain) is the objective
completion predicate. Plan-critic dimension 10 (Manifest quality)
is a hard gate. Session decomposer propagates manifests verbatim
and emits an obligatory Step 0 pre-flight (git push --dry-run,
exit 77 sentinel) in every session spec.
ultraexecute-local gets Phase 7.5 (independent manifest audit from
git log + filesystem, ignoring agent bookkeeping) and Phase 7.6
(bounded recovery dispatch, recovery_depth ≤ 2). Hard Rule 17
forbids marking a step passed without manifest verification. Hard
Rule 18 forbids ending on an arbitrary tool call before reporting.
Division of labor is made explicit:
- /ultraresearch-local gathers context (no build decisions)
- /ultraplan-local produces an executable contract (manifests,
plan-critic gate)
- /ultraexecute-local executes disciplined (does NOT compensate
for weak plans — escalates)
Code complete. Docs partial (Arbeidsdeling table + manifest section
added to plugin + marketplace READMEs). Verification tests
(10-sequence) pending — see REMEMBER.md.
Backward compat: v1.6 plans without plan_version marker get
legacy mode with synthesized manifests and legacy_plan: true in
progress file. Plan-critic emits advisory, not block.

Four-layer security model for ultraexecute-local and headless sessions:
Layer 1 — Plugin hooks: pre-bash-executor.mjs (13 BLOCK + 8 WARN rules
with bash evasion normalization) and pre-write-executor.mjs (8 path guard
rules blocking .git/hooks, .claude/settings, shell configs, .env, SSH/AWS).
Layer 2 — Prompt-level security rules: denylist in ultraexecute-local.md
Sub-step D and session-spec-template.md Security Constraints section.
These are the only rules that work in headless child sessions.
Layer 3 — Pre-execution plan validation: new Phase 2.4 scans all Verify
and Checkpoint commands against denylist before execution begins.
Layer 4 — Replace --dangerously-skip-permissions with scoped
--allowedTools "Read,Write,Edit,Bash,Glob,Grep" --permission-mode
bypassPermissions in ultraexecute-local.md, headless-launch-template.md,
and session-decomposer.md. Blocks Agent, MCP, WebSearch in child sessions.
Also adds Hard Rules 14-16: verify command security check, no writing
outside repository root, no writing to security-sensitive paths.

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.
