M1: headings inside fenced code blocks and HTML comments are text, not
headings, and ## Intent / ## Goal must each appear exactly once. A second
section, an example section in a code block or comment, or a '## ' line in
a code block inside Intent no longer carries the old approval: check gives
INVALID (duplicate) or STALE, stamp refuses a duplicate. A plain brief
hashes exactly as before (pinned), so no stamped brief goes stale.
Re-run of the PM's 29 probes: vi-a, vi-b, vii-a, vii-b now stop; the rest
unchanged. The PM's p7c probe was a no-op (its replace string is not in the
base brief); vii-c is covered by its own test, red on 66e1fa1.
M2: /trekbrief --approve takes <project-dir | brief-file>. New
intent-approval.mjs --resolve decides: a directory → <dir>/brief.md and
/trekplan --project; a file → itself and /trekplan --brief. Phase 4h and the
stamp line use {BRIEF_PATH}; /trekplan's halt table names
/trekbrief --approve {brief_path}, which works on both brief modes, and so
does the gate's hint. HANDOVER-CONTRACTS' "open to every producer's brief"
is now true. Chose fixing the path over rewording the contract because two
real briefs (docs/*-brief.md) had no approval path at all.
Red ff760ed 9/29 → green 29/29. Suite 1219: 1217 pass / 0 fail / 2 skip.
