docs(review): /trekreview chooses its security engine (E 3.2)
Phase 4.7 of /trekreview runs security-engine.mjs choose first. Claude
Security runs through its own skill (scan changes --base {before_sha}
--effort high); its cost question goes to the operator, and "No", a
question nobody can answer or a missing Workflow tool records it as not
run, never a fallback to /security-review. /security-review runs only
when choose picked it. Its report is converted by security-engine.mjs
convert, never transcribed; below_threshold is declined as
engine:below-threshold. With no engine the expected reviewer
security-engine never reports, so the verdict gate exits 2 and the
summary says "security: not measured" and why, never 0. --quick keeps no
security engine. The Engine summary line, the template's ran line, the
hard rules (the engine's report folder, scan changes only) and the
allowed-tools (Workflow) follow.

Engine prose follows in commands/trekexecute.md, docs/command-modes.md,
docs/architecture.md, CLAUDE.md, README.md, SECURITY.md and Handover 6:
Claude Security recommended, proprietary so called by name and never a
manifest dependency; without it /security-review; with neither "not
measured".

Voyage — Command flag reference

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

/trekbrief modes

Flag Behavior
(default) Question round sized by class (small / bounded / architectural), brief-review gate, approval → brief.md with research plan
--quick Proposes small as the class (still said aloud, overridable, raised when the task proves bigger) → brief.md with research plan
--gates [true|false|closed|open] (v3.4.0) Autonomy flag: bare, true or closed = on; false or open = off; any other next token is not its value. See ## Autonomy mode in docs/operations.md.
--approve <project-dir | brief-file> (veikart steg 1) No interview: show the existing brief's ## Intent + ## Goal (+ ## Threat Model when present) verbatim, ask the operator to approve, and on "Approve" stamp intent_approved_hash + intent_approved_at. The remedy /trekplan names when it halts on BRIEF_INTENT_NOT_APPROVED / BRIEF_INTENT_APPROVAL_STALE.

Always interactive. Phase 3 puts the task in a size class (ceremony:, K1; heaviest in doubt, said aloud, overridable, only moved up) and asks one round of questions within the class budget (small 4, bounded 8, architectural 12 per round), recommendation first, facts looked up instead of asked, a visible Deferred list; it also asks where the brief is stored (artifact_store: git | local). Phase 4 runs a brief-reviewer stop-gate with 1 / 2 / 3 review iterations by class. Phase 4h takes only an explicit "Approve" («høres bra ut» and an empty answer are refused by lib/util/approval-log.mjs answer), stamps the brief, appends the approval to the target repo's log (approval-log.mjs append, K2) and commits it (lib/util/artifact-commit.mjs: the log always, the brief when git). After that, 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|closed|open] (v3.4.0) Autonomy flag: bare, true or closed = on; false or open = off; any other next token is not its value. See ## 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

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

/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 session specs + orders.md (one starter line per session)
--gates [true|false|closed|open] (v3.4.0) Autonomy flag: bare, true or closed = on; false or open = off; any other next token is not its value. See ## Autonomy mode in docs/operations.md.

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.

Approval gates (no flag turns them off). Phase 1 halts unless the brief's intent marker is current (intent-approval.mjs --check) AND the target repo's approval log is intact and holds that intent (approval-log.mjs verify --kind intent; broken, diverged, not-logged or mismatch halt; remedy /trekbrief --approve). Phase 1 also reads ceremony (absent = architectural) and artifact_store (absent = local). Phase 11 asks for an explicit plan approval before any handoff, logs it bound to plan.md's sha256 and commits it (the plan itself only when artifact_store: git); "execute" does not start on "Not yet".

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|closed|open] (v3.4.0) Autonomy flag: bare, true or closed = on; false or open = off; any other next token is not its value. See ## Autonomy mode in docs/operations.md. /trekexecute accepts the flag and pauses on nothing; it adds no question of its own before a merge: the guard asks there (operator decision 2026-10-08).

Every mode that executes refuses a plan whose approval in the approval log does not cover its current sha256 (K2). A run ends with the review it starts by itself (/simplify → /trekreview → verdict gate); a BLOCK or an undecided verdict keeps the merge into main closed. MAX_REVIEW_ROUNDS in lib/review/review-rounds.mjs (3) caps the reviews per run; /trekreview refuses a fourth round.

/trekreview modes

Flag Behavior
(default) Claude Code /code-review + one security engine chosen by lib/review/security-engine.mjs (Claude Security where it is installed, else /security-review; with neither, security is "not measured", never 0 — the engine, via the Skill tool, never --fix), then brief-conformance + code-correctness reviewers in parallel, coordinator dedup + verdict, write {project_dir}/review.md with the required verdict:, decide with lib/review/verdict-gate.mjs (0 ALLOW, or WARN with every counting MAJOR answered · 1 BLOCK · 2 never green), the operator answers each counting MAJOR (Phase 8.8), propose recurring finding classes as project memory (operator approves each line)
--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 /code-review + code-correctness reviewer only, no security engine; skip brief-conformance reviewer and the coordinator's reasonableness filter except the brief-conflict rule — fast correctness-only pass
--answers Only the operator's answers to the counting MAJORs (Phase 8.8) on the existing {dir}/review.md, then the verdict gate. No reviewer and no write of findings: it opens no new round and counts nothing against the cap
--validate Schema-only check on existing {dir}/review.md plus the verdict gate. No LLM calls. A 1.0 review without verdict: fails here (it still seeds a plan in soft mode)
--dry-run Print discovered scope + triage map; skip writes
--fg No-op alias (foreground is default)

/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

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.
