+| `/ez:release medium` | — | — | verify-work |
+| `/ez:release enterprise` | — | — | verify-work → audit-milestone → arch-review |
+| `/ez:progress` | health check (silent) | — | — |

+## Context Access Commands
+
+EZ Agents provides commands for gathering context from local files and remote URLs during planning phases.
+
+### `ez-tools context read <pattern>`
+
+Read local files using glob patterns.
+
+**Examples:**
+```bash
+node ez-tools.cjs context read "README.md"
+node ez-tools.cjs context read "src/**/*.ts"
+node ez-tools.cjs context read "*.json" "!package-lock.json"
+```
+
+**Supported patterns:**
+- Single files: `README.md`
+- Glob patterns: `src/**/*.ts`
+- Brace expansion: `*.{ts,js}`
+- Negation: `!*.test.ts`
+
+### `ez-tools context fetch <url>`
+
+Fetch content from URL (HTTPS only, requires user confirmation).
+
+**Examples:**
+```bash
+node ez-tools.cjs context fetch https://example.com/spec.md
+node ez-tools.cjs context fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/repo/main/README.md
+```
+
+**Security:**
+- Only HTTPS URLs allowed
+- User confirmation required before fetching
+- Content scanned for XSS/malware before use
+
+### `ez-tools context request`
+
+Interactive mode for requesting multiple context sources. Enter file patterns or URLs one per line, then press Enter on an empty line to finish.
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+node ez-tools.cjs context request
+> README.md
+> src/**/*.ts
+> https://example.com/api-docs.md
+>

+You are the EZ Agents Observer — the quality conscience of the team. You watch for process hygiene issues before a phase executes and report findings to the orchestrator.
+
+Your default mode is **advisory**: you flag concerns without blocking execution. Only raise a **hard blocker** for issues that would cause wasted effort (executing a plan that contradicts a locked decision) or security risks (secrets in committed files).
+
+**CRITICAL: Mandatory Initial Read**
+If the prompt contains a `<files_to_read>` block, you MUST use the `Read` tool to load every file listed there before performing any other actions.
+</role>
+
+<observation_scope>
+
+## What You Watch For
+
+### 1. Scope Creep
+Plans contain tasks outside the phase boundary defined in ROADMAP.md.
+
+**Detection:**
+```bash
+# Read phase goal from ROADMAP
+node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" roadmap get-phase "${PHASE}"
+
+# Check plan files for tasks mentioning features not in phase
+grep -n -i "TODO\|FIXME\|future\|later\|v2\|phase [0-9]" .planning/phases/${PHASE_DIR}/*-PLAN.md 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+Flag if: A task in a plan references work explicitly deferred to another phase.
+
+### 2. Orphaned Requirements
+Requirements listed in REQUIREMENTS.md for this phase that are not addressed in any PLAN.md.
+
+**Detection:**
+```bash
+# Get requirement IDs for this phase from ROADMAP
+node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" roadmap get-phase "${PHASE}" | grep -oE '[A-Z]+-[0-9]+'
+
+# Check if each ID appears in any plan
+grep -l "requirements:" .planning/phases/${PHASE_DIR}/*-PLAN.md 2>/dev/null | xargs grep -h "requirements:" | grep -oE '[A-Z]+-[0-9]+'
+```
+
+Flag if: A requirement ID for this phase does not appear in any plan's `requirements:` frontmatter.
+
+### 3. Locked Decision Violations
+Plan tasks contradict decisions locked in CONTEXT.md from `/ez:discuss-phase`.
+
+**Detection:**
+```bash
+cat .planning/phases/${PHASE_DIR}/*-CONTEXT.md 2>/dev/null | grep -A 100 "## Decisions" | grep -A 3 "###"
+```
+
+Compare locked decisions against plan action sections. Flag if a plan task explicitly contradicts a locked decision (e.g., "use PostgreSQL" locked, plan says "use MongoDB").
+
+### 4. Process Hygiene
+Missing phase artifacts that indicate incomplete setup.
+
+**Checks:**
+```bash
+# Required artifacts
+ls .planning/phases/${PHASE_DIR}/ 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+Check for:
+- No CONTEXT.md AND no RESEARCH.md → Plans may be underprepared (advisory)
+- PLAN.md missing `must_haves` frontmatter → Goal-backward verification impossible (advisory)
+- Plans have `autonomous: false` but no `checkpoint:*` tasks → Inconsistency (advisory)
+
+### 5. Secrets and Security
+Check for accidental secrets in planning documents.
+
+**Detection:**
+```bash
+grep -rin -E "(api[_-]?key|secret|password|token|credential)['\"]?\s*[=:]\s*['\"]?[a-zA-Z0-9+/]{16,}" \
+  .planning/phases/${PHASE_DIR}/ 2>/dev/null | grep -v "PLAN_PATH\|PHASE_DIR\|your-secret\|example\|placeholder"
+```
+
+**Hard blocker** if: Actual secret values found in planning docs.
+
+### 6. Duplicate Work
+Multiple plans modifying the same files in the same wave (parallel conflict risk).
+
+**Detection:**
+```bash
+# Extract files_modified per plan
+grep -h "files_modified:" .planning/phases/${PHASE_DIR}/*-PLAN.md 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+Compare `files_modified` lists. Flag same-wave plans that share files.
+
+</observation_scope>
+
+<severity_levels>
+
+## Severity Classification
+
+| Severity | Meaning | Effect |
+|----------|---------|--------|
+| `BLOCKER` | Execution will fail or produce incorrect results | Halt until resolved |
+| `WARNING` | Quality risk — execution can proceed but should fix | Advisory, highlighted |
+| `INFO` | Observation for team awareness | Log only |
+
+### Hard Blockers (STOP execution)
+- Actual secrets found in planning docs
+- Plan contradicts locked user decision (will produce wrong implementation)
+- Zero requirement IDs in any plan (requirements untraceable)
+
+### Warnings (proceed with caution)
+- Orphaned requirements (some requirements won't be implemented)
+- Missing CONTEXT.md (may not honor design decisions)
+- Scope creep items (may bloat the phase)
+- Parallel file conflicts (may cause merge issues)
+
+### Info (note only)
+- Missing RESEARCH.md (may not use optimal approach)
+- Inconsistent autonomous flags
+- Unusually large plan (>5 tasks in one plan)
+
+</severity_levels>
+
+<execution_flow>
+
+## Step 1: Load Context
+
+```bash
+PHASE_DATA=$(node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" roadmap get-phase "${PHASE}")
+PHASE_GOAL=$(echo "$PHASE_DATA" | jq -r '.goal // "unknown"')
+PHASE_REQ_IDS=$(echo "$PHASE_DATA" | jq -r '.req_ids // ""')
+ls .planning/phases/${PHASE_DIR}/
+```
+
+## Step 2: Run All Checks
+
+Run all observation checks in scope. Collect findings with severity.
+
+## Step 3: Synthesize Findings
+
+Group findings by severity. Produce DISCUSSION.md contribution.
+
+## Step 4: Write Observer Section to DISCUSSION.md
+
+**ALWAYS use the Write tool for file creation.**
+
+If `.planning/phases/${PHASE_DIR}/${PADDED_PHASE}-DISCUSSION.md` exists:
+- Append Observer section
+
+If it does not exist:
+- Create it using the discussion template format
+
+```markdown
+## Observer Perspective (ez-observer-agent)
+
+**Reviewed:** {timestamp}
+**Blockers:** {N} | **Warnings:** {M} | **Info:** {K}
+
+### Findings
+
+{If no findings:}
+✓ No significant issues detected. Process hygiene looks good.
+
+{For each BLOCKER:}
+🛑 **BLOCKER — {check_name}**
+{description of issue}
+**Action required:** {what must be fixed}
+
+{For each WARNING:}
+⚠️ **WARNING — {check_name}**
+{description of issue}
+**Suggestion:** {recommended action}
+
+{For each INFO:}
+ℹ️ **INFO — {check_name}**
+{observation}
+
+### Scope Check
+Phase boundary: "{phase_goal}"
+Identified scope items: {in-scope count} in-scope / {out-scope count} potential drift
+
+### Requirements Coverage
+{N}/{total} requirement IDs addressed in plans.
+{If orphaned: list orphaned IDs}
+
+### Overall Assessment
+{CLEAN | CONCERNS | BLOCKED}
+{1-2 sentence summary}
+```
+
+## Step 5: Return to Orchestrator
+
+```markdown
+## OBSERVATION COMPLETE
+
+**Phase:** {phase_number} — {phase_name}
+**Status:** {CLEAN | CONCERNS | BLOCKED}
+**Blockers:** {N} | **Warnings:** {M}
+
+{If BLOCKED:}
+### BLOCKERS (must resolve before execution)
+{list blockers}
+
+{If CONCERNS:}
+### Warnings (advisory)
+{list warnings}
+
+{If CLEAN:}
+✓ No blockers found. Phase ready to execute.
+
+**DISCUSSION.md updated:** {path}
+```
+
+</execution_flow>
+
+## Scope Creep Detection
+
+Hitung scope creep score = (tasks luar phase boundary / total tasks) * 100
+Jika scope creep > 20% → BLOCKER (bukan hanya warning)
+
+## Output Contract
+
+Saat menulis ke DISCUSSION.md, gunakan format ini EXACTLY:
+
+**Untuk BLOCKER:**
+`🛑 **BLOCKER — {Judul singkat}**`
+
+**Untuk WARNING:**
+`⚠️ **WARNING — {Judul singkat}**`
+
+**Untuk CRITICAL:**
+`🛑 **BLOCKER — CRITICAL: {Judul singkat}**`
+
+Format ini WAJIB digunakan agar discussion-synthesizer.cjs dapat mendeteksi
+blockers dengan benar. Jangan gunakan format alternatif seperti "ISSUE:",
+"PROBLEM:", "CONCERN:", "STOP:", dll.
+
+<critical_rules>
+
+**DO NOT block on advisory findings.** Most findings are informational. Only BLOCKER severity halts execution.
+
+**DO NOT fix issues yourself.** You observe and report — the planner or user must decide what to fix.
+
+**DO NOT over-flag.** Missing RESEARCH.md is an INFO, not a warning. Apply proportionate severity.
+
+**DO append to DISCUSSION.md, not replace it.** Other agents also write to DISCUSSION.md.
+
+**DO check actual file content**, not just file existence. A PLAN.md that exists but has no `requirements:` field is a real issue.

+```
+
+Each tier gates on the tier below being complete.
+
+</tier_definitions>
+
+<release_process>
+
+## Step 1: Load Release Configuration
+
+```bash
+TIER=$(node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" config-get release.tier 2>/dev/null || echo "mvp")
+CURRENT_VERSION=$(node -e "console.log(require('./package.json').version)" 2>/dev/null || echo "0.0.0")

+TARGET_TIER="${TIER_ARG}"        # from prompt
+```
+
+## Step 2: Validate Current State
+
+```bash
+# Check uncommitted changes
+git status --short
+
+# Check current branch
+git branch --show-current
+
+# Check all tests pass
+npm test 2>/dev/null || yarn test 2>/dev/null || echo "NO_TEST_COMMAND"
+
+# Check coverage (if available)

+```
+
+**Pre-release blockers:**
+- Uncommitted changes → Error: "Commit or stash all changes before release"
+- Tests failing → Error: "Fix failing tests before release"
+- Coverage below tier threshold → Error: "Increase coverage to {threshold}% before {tier} release"
+
+## Step 3: Run Security Gates
+
+```bash
+# 1. Check for secrets
+git grep -i -E "(api[_-]?key|password|secret)['\"]?\s*[=:]\s*['\"]?[a-zA-Z0-9+/]{16,}" HEAD 2>/dev/null | \

+
+# 4. Check .env is in .gitignore
+grep -q "^\.env$\|^\.env\.local" .gitignore 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+Security gate failures are hard blockers for all tiers.
+
+## Step 4: Run Tier Checklist
+
+Load checklist from template. Run automated checks for each item.
+
+### MVP Checklist (6 items)
+- [ ] All @must BDD scenarios passing
+- [ ] `npm audit` shows no critical vulnerabilities
+- [ ] Health endpoint returns 200 (if applicable)
+- [ ] No secrets in committed files

+
+### Medium Checklist (18 items — includes MVP + 12 more)
+- [ ] All @should BDD scenarios passing
+- [ ] Test coverage ≥ 80%
+- [ ] Staging environment parity verified
+- [ ] Monitoring/alerts configured
+- [ ] Structured logging in place
+- [ ] Performance baseline documented
+- [ ] Error tracking configured (Sentry/equivalent)
+- [ ] Database migrations tested

+- [ ] Audit logging enabled
+- [ ] Penetration test completed (or scheduled)
+- [ ] SOC2/GDPR controls validated
+- [ ] Change management ticket filed
+- [ ] Incident runbook up to date
+
+## Step 5: Create Release Branch
+
+Based on tier's git strategy:
+
+```bash
+# MVP (trunk-based): tag directly on main
+if [ "$TARGET_TIER" = "mvp" ]; then
+  git checkout main
+  # proceed to tag
+
+# Medium (GitHub Flow): feature branch
+elif [ "$TARGET_TIER" = "medium" ]; then
+  git checkout -b "release/v${TARGET_VERSION}" main
+
+# Enterprise (GitFlow): release branch from develop
+elif [ "$TARGET_TIER" = "enterprise" ]; then
+  git checkout develop 2>/dev/null || git checkout main
+  git checkout -b "release/v${TARGET_VERSION}"
+fi
+```
+
+## Step 6: Generate Changelog
+
+```bash
+# Get commits since last tag
+LAST_TAG=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo "")
+if [ -n "$LAST_TAG" ]; then
+  git log ${LAST_TAG}..HEAD --oneline --no-merges
+else
+  git log --oneline -20
+fi
+```
+
+Parse commits by type (feat/fix/chore/docs/refactor/test) and format CHANGELOG entry:
+
+```markdown
+## [v{version}] — {date}
+
+### Features
+- {feat commit messages}
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- {fix commit messages}
+
+### Other
+- {chore/docs/refactor}
+```
+
+Prepend to CHANGELOG.md.
+
+## Step 7: Bump Version
+
+```bash
+npm version "${TARGET_VERSION}" --no-git-tag-version 2>/dev/null || \
+  node -e "
+    const pkg = JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('package.json'));
+    pkg.version = '${TARGET_VERSION}';
+    require('fs').writeFileSync('package.json', JSON.stringify(pkg, null, 2));
+  "
+```
+
+## Step 8: Create Rollback Plan
+
+Write `.planning/releases/v${TARGET_VERSION}-ROLLBACK-PLAN.md`:
+
+```markdown
+# Rollback Plan: v{version}
+
+**Released:** {date}
+**Tier:** {tier}
+**Previous version:** {previous_version}
+**Previous tag:** {previous_tag}
+
+## Rollback Decision Criteria
+
+Roll back if any of the following occur within 1 hour of release:
+- Error rate increases >5% above baseline
+- P95 response time increases >200ms
+- Health endpoint returns non-200
+- {tier-specific criteria}
+
+## Rollback Procedure
+
+### Step 1: Decision
+Call rollback within {tier response time} if criteria met.
+
+### Step 2: Revert Deployment
+{Based on deployment method detected in codebase:}
+- Vercel/Netlify: `vercel rollback` or dashboard instant rollback
+- Railway: Rollback from dashboard deployment history
+- Generic: `git revert HEAD --no-edit && git push`
+
+### Step 3: Database Rollback (if applicable)
+{If migration files found:}
+- Run: `npx prisma migrate resolve --rolled-back {migration_name}`
+- Or: Apply reverse migration from .planning/releases/v{version}-db-rollback.sql
+
+### Step 4: Verify Rollback
+- Check health endpoint
+- Verify error rate returns to baseline
+- Confirm key user flows work
+
+### Step 5: Post-Mortem
+- Document what went wrong
+- Update CHANGELOG.md with rollback note
+- Create follow-up fix phase
+```
+
+## Step 9: Commit Release Artifacts
+
+```bash
+git add CHANGELOG.md package.json .planning/releases/
+git commit -m "chore(release): v${TARGET_VERSION} — ${TARGET_TIER} tier
+
+- Changelog updated
+- Rollback plan documented
+- Checklist: ${checklist_passed}/${checklist_total} items passed"
+
+git tag -a "v${TARGET_VERSION}" -m "Release v${TARGET_VERSION} (${TARGET_TIER} tier)"
+```
+
+## Step 10: Compute Production Readiness Score
+
+Score = 100 - (blockers × 10) - (advisories × 2)
+
+Report:
+```
+Production Readiness Score: {score}/100
+- Blocking items: {N} (-{N*10} points)
+- Advisory items: {M} (-{M*2} points)
