Default bucket is Changed. Deprecated is ONLY for explicit sunset/removal notices. No meta-commentary in bullets ("Conventional commit mapping applied", "Bead IDs included parenthetically", etc. — banned).
 
-VERSION POLICY. Default is patch bump (`v3.10.0` → `v3.10.1`). Use minor for new features (`v3.11.0`), major only on explicit operator instruction. The bead names the target version explicitly OR specifies the bump type; if neither is present, STOP and emit `BLOCKED: version-not-specified`.
+EDIT TARGET. The `[Unreleased]` block at the top of `CHANGELOG.md`. Preserve its heading shape and any existing bullets. Merge missing entries into the correct subsections. Do NOT rename `[Unreleased]` to a versioned section — the `/releasing` skill does that as the next step in its flow.
 
-INSERT POSITION. The new section goes immediately above the most recent existing release section, below the `[Unreleased]` placeholder. Re-emit an empty `[Unreleased]` placeholder above the new section.
+NO INVENTION. Every bullet you add must trace to either a session report under `.xtrm/reports/` or a commit subject in the named range. If a commit lacks a covering report and is plausibly user-facing, add a one-line bullet referenced to the commit; flag the synthesis in your output.
 
-GIT DISCIPLINE. After file edits + rebuild succeed:
-- `git add CHANGELOG.md package.json dist/` (no other paths)
-- `git diff --cached --stat` and confirm only whitelisted paths are staged. If anything else is staged, STOP and report.
-- `git commit -m "release: vX.Y.Z"` (exactly this format, no other prefix or suffix)
-- `git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "<one-line summary derived from changelog section>"`
-- `git push --follow-tags origin <branch>`
-- Optional: `gh release create vX.Y.Z --notes "<the changelog section body>"` (only if `gh` is available and the bead requests it)
+NO RELEASE OPS. NEVER run any of: `npm run build`, `npm publish`, `git add` (other than `CHANGELOG.md`), `git commit`, `git tag`, `git push`, `gh release`. NEVER edit `package.json` or `package-lock.json`. NEVER `git reset --hard`, `git push --force`, delete tags, or rewrite history. The `/releasing` skill performs all of these after you return.

+> **MANDATORY — Run on skill load and before every new substantial task or epic:**
+> ```bash
+> specialists list --full
+> ```
+> Do not rely on remembered roles, models, or permissions. The registry is the source of truth.
+> Run it again before dispatching any new chain or starting any epic — specialists change between sessions.
+
+## Specialist File Locations
+
+Specialists live in three layers. Know which layer you are reading or editing:
+
+| Layer | Path | Purpose |
+|-------|------|---------|
+| Package (shipped) | `config/specialists/*.specialist.json` | Canonical role definitions; versioned with the repo |
+| User override | `.specialists/user/*.specialist.json` | Per-project customizations; wins over package layer for same name |
+| Default mirror | `.specialists/default/*.specialist.json` | Repo-managed mirror of package defaults; overrides package fallback |
+
+The loader resolves in priority order: user → default-mirror → package. A same-name file in `.specialists/user/` fully replaces the package version for that specialist. When creating or editing a specialist, use `config/specialists/` for shipped roles and `.specialists/user/` for project-specific overrides. Never edit `.specialists/default/` by hand — it is managed by `update-specialists`.
+
+`specialists list --full` shows the resolved set (which layer each specialist comes from) so you always know what will actually run.
+
+### Editing Specialist Fields: `sp edit` Is Required
+
+Direct JSON editing is error-prone and bypasses schema validation. Use `sp edit` for all field changes — it validates dot-paths, handles array append/remove, and writes to the correct layer.
+
+```bash
+# Read a field
+sp edit executor --get specialist.execution.model
+
+# Set a field (schema-validated)
+sp edit executor specialist.execution.model <model-id>
+
+# Set prompt.system or task_template from a file (required for multi-line content)
+sp edit executor --set specialist.prompt.system _ --file ./my-system-prompt.txt
+
+# Append or remove tags
+sp edit executor --set specialist.metadata.tags review,security --append
+sp edit executor --set specialist.metadata.tags old-tag --remove
+
+# Apply a named preset (run sp edit --list-presets for current options)
+sp edit executor --preset power
+sp edit executor --preset cheap --dry-run   # preview first
+
+# Target a specific scope when name exists in multiple layers
+sp edit executor --scope user --set specialist.execution.model <model-id>
+
+# Bulk read across all specialists
+sp edit --all --get specialist.execution.model
+```
+
+**When `sp edit` is required vs. direct JSON edit:**
+- Model, thinking level, timeout, tags, permission, description → always `sp edit`
+- `prompt.system` or `task_template` longer than one line → `sp edit --file`
+- Structural schema fields (execution flags, output_schema) → `sp edit` with dot-path
+- Net-new specialist creation → `specialists-creator` skill, then `sp edit` for tuning
+- Bulk cross-specialist reads → `sp edit --all --get <path>`
+- Available presets → `sp edit --list-presets` (do not hardcode; varies by install)
+
+## Orchestration Discipline (Paranoid Mode)
+
+You are an orchestrator, not a hero. Move slowly enough to be correct.
+
+- Run `specialists list --full` and `sp help` again at the start of every new substantial task. Do not skip because "you remember." Roles, models, and flags drift between sessions.
+- Re-read the bead before dispatch. If you cannot defend each contract field out loud, the bead is not ready.
+- Never dispatch a chain you cannot describe end-to-end (which specialist, which bead, which workspace, which merge target).
+- Verify worktree and job state before and after each dispatch with `sp ps` and `git worktree list`. Drift is silent until merge.
+- Treat reviewer `PARTIAL` and code-sanity `FINDINGS` as mandatory fix loops, not advisory noise.
+- When unsure, prefer extra explorer/debugger passes over an over-eager executor. Wrong code merged is more expensive than slow research.
+
+## Project-Specific Specialists
+
+Users define their own specialists in `.specialists/user/*.specialist.json` to fit project shape (domain knowledge, language, framework, conventions). These override package defaults and may not match generic role descriptions.
+
+- Always run `specialists list --full` to see the resolved set, including project-specific roles, before choosing.
+- Read `sp help` and the specialist's description/tags to confirm fit. Do not assume a name maps to its package-default behavior — a `.specialists/user/` override may have a different prompt, model, or scope.
+- Pick the project-specific specialist when its role matches the task shape. Do not fall back to a generic role just because it is more familiar.
+- If the task does not match any project-specific role, use the package default and consider whether a new project-specific specialist would help (use `specialists-creator` skill).
+
+## Security-Auditor and Code-Sanity Are Part of the Chain
+
+These are not optional. For any substantive diff (auth, secrets, input handling, dependency changes, control-flow rewrites, type-risky changes, agent/config surfaces), include them between executor and reviewer.
+
+- `code-sanity` — cheap simplification and type-safety screen. Run when diff smells overcomplicated, brittle, or duplicates logic. Output is advisory; reviewer still gates merge.
+- `security-auditor` — scan-only risk surface review. Run when diff touches auth, secrets, input handling, dependency logic, or agent/config. Output is advisory; executor applies fixes if any.
+- Both run with their own bead and `--job <exec-job>` so they enter the executor workspace.
+- Order: executor → code-sanity (if smell) → security-auditor (if risk surface) → reviewer.
+- Never skip security-auditor on auth/secrets/input changes "because the diff looks small." Small diffs hide the worst regressions.
+
+## Monitoring Long-Running Jobs: Sleep Timers Are Mandatory
+
+Specialists run async. You will lose the chain if you do not actively monitor it.
+
+**Required pattern after every dispatch:**
+
+```bash
+sp run <role> --bead <id> --background ...   # dispatch
+sleep 10 && sp ps                             # confirm started
+```
+
+Then cycle sleeps based on average completion time per role, checking `sp ps` each cycle:
+
+| Role | Typical duration | Initial sleep cycle |
+|------|------------------|---------------------|
+| sync-docs, changelog-keeper | 60–180s | `sleep 60` then `sleep 60` |
+| code-sanity, security-auditor | 60–180s | `sleep 60` then `sleep 60` |
+| reviewer | 90–240s | `sleep 90` then `sleep 60` |
+| explorer, debugger, planner, overthinker | 120–300s | `sleep 120` then `sleep 90` |
+| executor | 180–600s+ | `sleep 180` then `sleep 120` |
+| test-runner | varies with suite | start at `sleep 120`, adjust |
+
+Rules:
+- After dispatch, **always** `sleep 10 && sp ps` first to confirm the job is `running`, not stuck in `queued` or already `failed`.
+- Then sleep again per the table; check `sp ps` each cycle.
+- Do not poll faster than every 30s after the initial check — it wastes context.
+- When status flips to `completed`, run `sp result <job-id>` immediately to consume output before context grows.
+- If a job exceeds 2× its typical duration without completing, inspect with `sp feed <job-id>` before assuming hang.
+
+You are not "done" until every dispatched job is `completed` or `failed` and consumed.
+
+## Worktree Cleanup After Merge
+
+`sp merge` and `sp epic merge` clean up automatically when they succeed. If you fall back to manual `git merge` (e.g., doc-only chains), you own cleanup.
+
+After every merge, verify:
+
+```bash
+git worktree list                 # any orphaned worktrees from this session?
+sp ps                             # any leftover jobs?
+git worktree prune                # drop stale worktree metadata
+```
+
+If a feature/epic worktree remains after merge, remove it explicitly:
+
+```bash
+git worktree remove <path>
+git branch -d <merged-branch>     # only after confirming merged
+```
+
+`sp ps` must be empty (or only contain jobs you intentionally kept alive) before session close. Stale worktrees and stale jobs both block future dispatches via the stale-base guard.
+
 ## When To Delegate
 
 Use specialists for substantial work: codebase exploration, debugging, implementation, review, test execution, planning, documentation sync, security/config audit, release publication, and multi-chain epics.

Preserve heading shape and prior bullets.\n7. Verify scope: `git status --short` must show ONLY `CHANGELOG.md`. If anything else is dirty, STOP and report `BLOCKED: scope-leak`.\n8. Do NOT commit. Do NOT stage. The `/releasing` skill commits as part of the release commit.\n\n## Output\n\n```\nVERDICT: FILLED | NO_GAPS | BLOCKED\nRANGE: <prev-tag>..<ref>\nADDED_BULLETS: <count>\nSYNTHESIZED_FROM_COMMITS: <count or 0>\nFILES_CHANGED: CHANGELOG.md\nNOTES: <one line about anything notable, e.g. dropped older reports, commits without reports>\n```\n\nOn BLOCKED, name the precondition violated.
