Kjell Tore Guttormsen 1ca48e0cd0 release(v5.10.1): drop gemini-bridge from the pipeline; correct the T1 §6 PoC status
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.

Voyage — Command flag reference

Per-command flag tables, imported from CLAUDE.md via pointer.

/trekbrief modes

Flag Behavior
(default) Dynamic interview until quality gates pass → brief.md with research plan
--quick Compact start; still escalates if required sections are weak or the brief-review gate fails → brief.md with research plan
--gates {true|false} (v3.4.0) Boolean autonomy-gate flag; present → gating on. Policy (gates_mode) detailed under ## Autonomy mode in docs/operations.md.
--profile <name> (v4.1.0) Model profile: economy / balanced / premium / fable / <custom>. Sets phase_models for the brief phase. See ## Profile system in docs/operations.md.

Always interactive. Phase 3 is a section-driven completeness loop (no hard cap on question count); Phase 4 runs a brief-reviewer stop-gate with max 3 review iterations. After writing the brief, asks the user to choose manual (print commands) or auto (Claude runs research + plan in foreground).

/trekresearch modes

Flag Behavior
(default) Interview + research (local + external) + synthesis + brief (foreground)
--project <dir> Write brief to {dir}/research/{NN}-{slug}.md (auto-incremented)
--quick Interview (short) + inline research (no agent swarm)
--local Only codebase analysis agents (skip external research)
--external Only external research agents (skip codebase analysis)
--fg No-op alias (foreground is default since v2.4.0)
--gates {true|false} (v3.4.0) Boolean autonomy-gate flag; present → gating on. Policy (gates_mode) detailed under ## Autonomy mode in docs/operations.md.
--min-brief-version <ver> (S18) Warn — never block — if an attached --project brief declares a version below <ver> (e.g. 2.2), i.e. sidesteps framing enforcement
--profile <name> (v4.1.0) Model profile for the research phase.
--engine {swarm|deep-research} (deep-research-engine) Opt-in external-research engine; deep-research delegates the external phase to Claude Code's built-in /deep-research workflow, which only works on 2.1.154 <= CC < 2.1.218 — from 2.1.218 /deep-research is operator-invoked only (the Skill tool refuses with disable-model-invocation), so the engine always falls back to swarm. Never hard-fails. Default swarm.

Flags combine: --project <dir> --local, --external --quick.

Bounded conversation loop (Phase 4.5 + Phase 5) — env-vars

Dimension discovery and the multi-turn follow-up loop are default-off and have no flag; they are environment-gated, because turning them on costs turns. They run only at effort: high (resolved from the brief's phase_signals).

Env-var Default Behavior
VOYAGE_STORM_ENABLED (unset — default-off) =1 grants the Phase 5 loop a non-zero turn budget and is the second condition on Phase 4.5's skip-guard. Unset, research-loop-cap.mjs grants 0 turns and both phases are inert: doing nothing keeps the whole mechanism off.
TREKRESEARCH_MAX_CONV_TURNS 3 Max turns per under-illuminated dimension. Budget = this × maxDimensions (8, settings.json:16). Empty, non-numeric, zero, negative, Infinity, or any fraction that floors below 1 (0.5, 0.9) fall back to 3 — never to unbounded, and never to 0. A fraction at or above 1 floors (2.72).
VOYAGE_DISABLE_CAP_HOOK (unset) =1 disables hooks/scripts/pre-agent-cap.mjs, the PreToolUse enforcement of the turn budget. The cap primitive still applies; only the second gate is switched off.

Adoption of the loop as a default is gated on a pre-registered measurement — protocol, thresholds, and the exact commands in docs/storm-measurement.md.

/trekplan modes

Flag Behavior
--project <dir> Required path A — read {dir}/brief.md, auto-discover {dir}/research/*.md, write {dir}/plan.md
--brief <path> Required path B — plan from a specific brief file; write to .claude/plans/trekplan-{date}-{slug}.md
--research <brief> [brief2] Enrich with extra research briefs beyond what is in {project_dir}/research/
--fg No-op alias (foreground is default since v2.4.0)
--quick Plan directly (no agent swarm)
--min-brief-version <ver> (S18) Warn — never block — if the brief declares a version below <ver> (e.g. 2.2), i.e. sidesteps framing enforcement
--export headless <plan> Legacy alias for --decompose — the only remaining export format (the pr / issue / markdown variants were removed; Claude reformats a plan ad-hoc on request)
--decompose <plan> Split plan into self-contained headless sessions
--gates {true|false} (v3.4.0) Boolean autonomy-gate flag; present → gating on. Policy (gates_mode) detailed under ## Autonomy mode in docs/operations.md.
--profile <name> (v4.1.0) Model profile for the plan phase (and others, since plan emits profile: to plan.md frontmatter).

Breaking change (v2.0): one of --brief or --project is required. There is no interview inside /trekplan. The --spec flag has been removed — use /trekbrief to produce a brief instead.

If {project_dir}/architecture/overview.md exists (typically produced by an opt-in upstream architect plugin, not bundled), the plan command auto-discovers it and treats cc_features_proposed as priors. Missing file is fine — discovery is additive, not required.

/trekexecute modes

Flag Behavior
(default) Execute plan — auto-detects Execution Strategy for multi-session
--project <dir> Read {dir}/plan.md, write {dir}/progress.json
--resume Resume from last progress checkpoint
--dry-run Validate plan structure without executing
--validate Schema-only check — parse steps + manifests, report READY | FAIL, no execution
--step N Execute only step N
--fg Force foreground — run all steps sequentially, ignore Execution Strategy
--session N Execute only session N from plan's Execution Strategy
--gates {true|false} (v3.4.0) Boolean autonomy-gate flag; present → gating on. Policy (gates_mode) detailed under ## Autonomy mode in docs/operations.md.
--profile <name> (v4.1.0) Model profile for the execute phase. Inherited from plan.md frontmatter profile: if present.

/trekreview modes

Flag Behavior
(default) Run brief-conformance + code-correctness reviewers in parallel, coordinator dedup + verdict, write {project_dir}/review.md
--project <dir> Required. Path to trekplan project folder containing brief.md. Review is written to {dir}/review.md
--since <ref> Override "before" SHA for the diff range. Validated via git rev-parse --verify
--quick Skip brief-conformance reviewer; skip coordinator's reasonableness filter — fast correctness-only pass
--validate Schema-only check on existing {dir}/review.md. No LLM calls
--dry-run Print discovered scope + triage map; skip writes
--fg No-op alias (foreground is default)
--workflow (opt-in, NW2) Run Phase 56 on the bake-off-validated Workflow substrate (scripts/trekreview-armB.workflow.mjs) instead of the default prose path. Default stays prose; requires Claude Code 2.1.154+ (raises the consumer floor — opt-in for portability). Fidelity-equivalent per docs/T2-bakeoff-results.md
--profile <name> (v4.1.0) Model profile for the review phase.

/trekcontinue modes

Flag Behavior
(default) Auto-discover active project's .session-state.local.json and resume
<project-dir> Resume the next session of an explicit project directory
--profile <name> (v4.1.0) Model profile for the resumed session. Inherited from the previous session's plan.md frontmatter when absent.

The triage gate is deterministic — path-pattern classifier produces {file → deep-review|summary-only|skip}. Hard refuse-with-suggestion above 100 files / 100K diff tokens.
