feat(execute): one fresh helper per step, a controller on the diff, proof by command
/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.

# trekplan
Voyage — a contract-driven Claude Code pipeline: brief, research, plan, execute, review, continue. Deep implementation planning and research with specialized agent swarms, external research, adversarial review, session decomposition, disciplined execution, and headless support.
**Design principle: Context Engineering** — build the right context by orchestrating specialized agents. Each step in the pipeline (brief → research → plan → execute) produces a structured artifact that the next step consumes. The load-bearing benefit is the parallel wall-clock + structured artifact handoffs; main-context relief is asserted-by-design, not measured (Δ ≈ 0 in the one PoC — see `docs/T1-synthesis-poc-results.md`).
> **Architecture slot.** The plan command auto-discovers `architecture/overview.md` if present — any compatible producer plugs in (the architect plugin is no longer publicly distributed). Migration history (v3.0.0 extraction) → [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md).
> **Trinity context (informational).** Voyage is Tier 1 (per-task) of a three-tier architecture. **Asymmetry is a hard invariant:** Voyage stays unaware of Tier 2/3; Handover 1 (brief format) is the only integration point, no producer is privileged, and brief-schema changes are breaking for downstream consumers (formalized as a public contract in v5.5.0). Tier 2/3 producer detail + the public contract → `docs/HANDOVER-CONTRACTS.md` §Handover 1 (PUBLIC CONTRACT).
> **Cross-cutting invariant: brief framing must match operator intent.** The brief is the pipeline's source of truth; operator intent lives in memory files — the pipeline must not polish a wrong premise. Enforced as the `brief_version 2.2` gate (v5.5), all BLOCKER for briefs declaring ≥ 2.2: (1) explicit `framing: preserve|refine|replace|new-direction` frontmatter, `AskUserQuestion`-validated in `/trekbrief` Phase 2.5; (2) memory-alignment as `brief-reviewer` dimension 6; (3) mandatory `## TL;DR`. Existing 2.0/2.1 briefs stay valid; `trekreview` briefs are exempt. Full implementation + contract evolution → `docs/HANDOVER-CONTRACTS.md` §Handover 1 (PUBLIC CONTRACT).
> **Binding rule (operator decision, 2026-09-27): Voyage never starts Claude Code.**
> Nothing Voyage ships may start a Claude Code session or model run: no `claude`
> CLI line, no Agent SDK, no spawned binary, no launch script. Work that needs
> another session becomes an order plus a starter line the user gives a session
> they open themselves (`/trekexecute` Phase 2.6, `lib/util/session-orders.mjs`);
> parallel work inside one session uses subagents. Enforced by
> `tests/lib/no-claude-code-launch.test.mjs`; its exemption list holds historical
> mentions plus one operator instrument (operator decision, 2026-10-02:
> `docs/proevesett.md` tells a person how to run Anthropic's plugin eval tool on
> the fixed test set; Voyage itself starts nothing), each with a reason and an
> exact count.
## Commands
| Command | Description | Orchestrator model |
|---------|-------------|--------------------|
| `/trekbrief` | Brief — interactive interview produces a task brief with explicit research plan; ends with the operator approving `## Intent` + `## Goal` (`--approve <dir>` does only that, then writes the trekbrief record); optionally orchestrates the pipeline | session |
| `/trekresearch` | Research — deep local + external research, produces structured research brief. Opt-in `--engine {swarm\|deep-research}` delegates the external phase to Claude Code's built-in `/deep-research` workflow (swarm default) | session |
| `/trekplan` | Plan — brief-reviewer, explore, plan, review. Requires `--brief` or `--project`; halts unless the brief's intent is approved (hash-bound, stale on edit). Auto-discovers `architecture/overview.md` if present | session |
| `/trekexecute` | Execute — disciplined plan/session-spec executor: one fresh `step-implementer` helper per plan step, one controller that reads the diff (spec + quality verdicts), proof of red / floor guard / done line as commands, fix rounds that go up (max 5: helper → plan → operator), closed stop list + decision log in the final report | session |
| `/trekreview` | Review — independent post-hoc review of delivered code against the brief. Produces `review.md` with severity-tagged findings (Handover 6) | session |
| `/trekcontinue` | Continue — resumes the next session of a multi-session voyage project. Reads `.session-state.local.json` (Handover 7) and immediately begins executing | session |
| `/trekendsession` | End-session — mark the current session complete and write session-state pointing at the next session. Helper for informal multi-session flows | session |
`session` = command frontmatter pins no `model:` (since v5.9.0), so the orchestrator follows the session model; sub-agent models come from the profile (see Model & effort below).
Full flag reference for each command (modes, `--gates`, `--profile`, breaking changes): see `docs/command-modes.md`.
> **STORM bounded loop — default-off, env-gated.** `/trekresearch` Phase 4.5
> (dimension discovery, under the existing `maxDimensions: 8` ceiling) and
> Phase 5 (bounded multi-turn follow-up) run only at `effort: high` **and** only
> when `VOYAGE_STORM_ENABLED=1`; unset, both are inert — Phase 5 because
> `lib/util/research-loop-cap.mjs` grants a budget of 0, Phase 4.5 because its
> skip-guard reads the flag directly (it never calls the cap). `TREKRESEARCH_MAX_CONV_TURNS` (default `3`,
> invalid values fall back to `3`) sets turns per dimension; the budget is that
> × `maxDimensions`. `VOYAGE_DISABLE_CAP_HOOK=1` switches off
> `hooks/scripts/pre-agent-cap.mjs`, the `PreToolUse` gate that enforces the
> budget in the harness rather than trusting prose. The cap counts turns from
> its own append-only ledger. Adoption as a default is gated on the
> pre-registered measurement in `docs/storm-measurement.md` — decline is a
> no-op, adopt is one constant.

> **Inventory (S33 reconcile, updated wave 1).** 24 agent files = **21 spawnable** (one, `synthesis-agent`, ships **dormant** — Δ≈0, wired to nothing) **+ 3 orchestrator reference docs** (`planning-/research-/review-orchestrator` document the inline `/trek*` workflow, not spawnable capabilities). All 24 stay `model: opus` (operator pin `40d8742`); the glue/mechanical/retrieval/dormant roles were reconsidered for a sonnet downgrade and **kept opus** — decision record: `docs/voyage-vs-cc-balance-analysis.md` §10.
> **Model & effort.** On the Anthropic API, `opus` = Opus 5.5 and `sonnet` = Sonnet 5.5 (both default reasoning effort `medium`); `fable` = Fable 5.1 (the most capable model in Claude Code; default `high`, so xhigh must be chosen explicitly). An agent without `effort:` inherits the session level. Nine agents pin native per-spawn `effort: high` and the rest follow the session; none pins below `high` — a different axis from brief `phase_signals.effort` (orchestration shape: which agents/passes run). Per-agent table + axes → `docs/profiles.md` §Model & effort axes.
