+# Capture: the verbs in detail
+
+Capture without breaking flow, but with the **tracker** as destination, not scattered files. The verbs are in the **Capture** table in SKILL.md's Commands section; here is the detail of each. One capture = one action + one confirmation line; it resolves nothing.
+
+**Language (do not skip):** the captured ticket (title + body) is written in `config.ticket.language` (default `en`), **regardless of the language you are chatting in**. A capture fired in Italian still lands as an English ticket. This is the easiest place to slip, because a capture echoes the user's one-line phrasing; translate it, do not mirror it. See SKILL.md's *Ticket language* rule.
+
+**Map or whiteboard:** a capture that produces a **ticket** (`todo`, `bug`, `seed`, and `idea` when it is sharp enough) must land on a **map** or on the **whiteboard** (map-less). **When a map is open, ask the user which** before creating it (active map vs whiteboard; several maps open -> the ask also picks the map). Whiteboard tickets get the `trailhead:whiteboard` label and **no** map label or `Parent:`; map tickets get the map's `trailhead:map-<n>` label + native sub-issue edge. **No map open at all -> whiteboard, no ask** (nowhere else to go). `note` and a non-sharp `idea` stay map-fog and skip this; with no open map they fall back to the global notes location (`$HOME/.claude/notes/`), or a now-sharp `idea` becomes a whiteboard ticket. See SKILL.md's *Capture* and *The whiteboard*.
+
+- **`note`** → a verbatim line in `## Not yet specified` (outside a project → `$HOME/.claude/notes/`). No questions, no rewriting.
+- **`idea`** → fog by default in `## Not yet specified`; becomes a ticket only if already phrasable as a sharp question. An idea in the fog is **not executable**: to work it, it must first **graduate** into a ticket (which happens when the frontier reaches it, or when you can now phrase it sharply). A `todo`, by contrast, is born a `build` ticket and is workable immediately.
+- **`todo`** → a small `trailhead:build` ticket on the frontier (defined work you will do: a todo is just a small build ticket). If it's a parking spot *beyond* the destination, it goes in `## Out of scope` instead.
+- **`bug`** → a `trailhead:bug` ticket on the frontier; the repro in the body if you know it. If it blocks the ticket you're working, add it to that ticket's `## Blocked by` and label that ticket `trailhead:blocked`. Pass **`--of <ticket>`** (a number, `#n`, name, or URL) to record it as a `Regression of: <ticket>` pointer in the body; use it for a bug in already-closed work, which is always a *new* ticket, never a reopen (see the `bug` engine for the reopen exception). **Don't derail**: capture and continue; you resolve it in a dedicated session.
+- **`seed`** → a ticket labelled `trailhead:seed` + `trailhead:blocked`, kept in its own `## Blocked by` until the trigger fires; note the trigger in the body. When the trigger fires, drop both labels to graduate it onto the frontier.
+
+**note · idea · seed · todo form a spectrum** of commitment and timing (`bug` is separate: a defect, not a capture-tier):
+
+| Verb | Lands as | Workable when | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **note** | verbatim text (fog, or global notes) | maybe never, just recorded | *remember this* (not necessarily work) |
+| **idea** | fog (`Not yet specified`) | later, **if** it graduates to a ticket | *maybe I'll do it* |
+| **seed** | a blocked ticket | when a **trigger** fires | *I'll do it when X happens* |
+| **todo** | a frontier ticket | **now** | *I'm doing it* |
+
+Discriminator: not even work → `note`; maybe, once it's clear → `idea`; yes, when X happens → `seed`; yes, now → `todo`. The close pairs: `note` vs `idea`: raw text vs a work-candidate meant to graduate; `idea` vs `seed`: waiting on *clarity* vs waiting on a *condition*; `seed` vs `todo`: committed *later* vs committed *now*.

-**Models.** Overrides apply to **every subagent trailhead spawns** (`research`, codebase-map, code review) — passed as the subagent's model. The interactive `build` loop runs on the session's own model; when `models.plan` differs from `models.execute`, run the **Plan** step as a *planner subagent* on `models.plan`, then execute in the session on `models.execute`. If a value is unset, inherit the session model (never hard-fail on an unknown id — warn and inherit). **Store a full model id** (e.g. `claude-opus-5`, `claude-fable-5`), never a bare family alias like `opus` — a family now spans several live versions, so an alias can't say which one.
+**Models.** Each key targets a specific activity, so you can send the heavy reasoning to a strong model and the cheap legwork to a fast one:
+- `plan` / `execute`: the `build`/`bug` engine's **Plan** and **Execute** steps (see below).
+- `research`: the **Research** subagents **and** the **Codebase map** reader fan-out (both gather/read).
+- `review`: the **Code review** subagent.
+- `debug`: the **Debug** technique's diagnosis in the `bug` engine.
+
+**Every model key runs as a subagent, so all of them apply in one session whatever model it runs on.** The main session is the **orchestrator**: it holds the genuinely interactive moments, the `build`/`bug` **Discuss** (the "stop and ask" on blocking ambiguity, *before* implementing) and **Verify**'s acceptance/UAT (*after*), and fans the rest out:
+- `plan` → a *planner subagent* on `models.plan` (inline when it's unset or equals the session model).
+- `execute` → an **executor subagent** that implements the plan with atomic commits on `models.execute`. Execute itself is autonomous (no live user exchange happens *during* implementation; new scope surfacing is captured/split, not grilled), so it fans out cleanly; the commits still land on `main`, visible. Run it **inline in the session instead when `models.execute` is unset or equals the session model** (nothing to gain from spawning).
+- `research`/`review`/`debug`/codebase-map → their own subagents.
+
+If a value is unset, inherit the session model (never hard-fail on an unknown id: warn and inherit).
+
+**Everything else runs in the main session on its own model, there is no key for it:** charting, grilling, naming the destination, framing and **writing the tickets**, graduating fog, and map/decision operations. That's deliberate: it's HITL/orchestration work (you reason *with* the user), so the model that writes a ticket is the one grilling you; it can't fan out to a subagent. Practical upshot: **run a charting session (`/trailhead:new`/`:adopt`/`:ticket`) on your strong model**. The `models.*` keys above govern only the fan-out activities, not the quality of the tickets themselves. **Store a full model id** (e.g. `claude-opus-5`, `claude-fable-5`), never a bare family alias like `opus`; a family now spans several live versions, so an alias can't say which one. **`models.plan` and `models.execute` are always distinct choices**: never collapse them into one shared model pick, even when the user would pick the same id for both.
+
+**Ticket language.** `ticket.language` (ISO 639-1, default `en`) sets the language trailhead **writes** in on the Issues: ticket titles and bodies, engine comments (DISCUSS/PLAN/VERIFY/OPTIONS/REPRO/DIAGNOSIS/PAUSED/resolution), the map body sections, and commit message **descriptions**. It's fully decoupled from the language the agent *converses* in (its session/global setting); setting `ticket.language` never changes how the agent talks to the user. **Untouched by it:** code and identifiers, the fixed `trailhead:*` label names, config keys/values, and the conventional-commit type prefix (`feat:`/`fix:` stay English). The skill's own source docs (SKILL.md, `references/`) are not project prose and stay English.
 
 **tdd.** `seams` (default) = TDD at critical seams only; `on` = TDD for all behaviour with a definable input→output; `off` = tests after, or none for throwaway. The `build` engine's Plan/Execute honour this.
 
-**acceptance.browser.** `auto` (default) = drive the browser when `testing.webapp` + `testing.url` are set, else fall back to a guided UAT checklist; `on` = always attempt browser-driving; `off` = always hand the human a UAT checklist. The Verify step honours this.
+**acceptance.browser.** `auto` (default) = drive the browser when `testing.webapp` + `testing.url` are set, else fall back to a guided UAT checklist; `on` = always attempt browser-driving; `off` = always hand the human a UAT checklist. **`off` disables *browser-driving*, not acceptance**: a user-facing change still gets a guided UAT checklist (see the Acceptance testing technique). The Verify step honours this.
 
-**design.approval.** `explicit` (default) = a UI mockup must be **explicitly approved by the user** before the `build` engine writes any real UI code — surface the mockup and wait for a clear go-ahead. `auto` = surface the mockup and proceed without blocking on a confirmation (the user can still object). The Prototype technique honours this.

The Prototype technique honours this.
 
 **plan_review.** `off` (default) = build PLANs are not externally reviewed; `on` = review with every external AI CLI detected on the PATH; a comma list (`gemini,codex`) = only those. Needs the named CLIs installed; if none are available it's skipped, never failed. The `build` engine's Plan step runs **Cross-AI plan review** when this is on.

-`/trailhead config` (no args) runs an **interactive walkthrough** — never make the user hand-edit JSON. Present each step as an `AskUserQuestion` menu with **icon-labelled options** and the current value pre-selected; write the answers to the chosen scope at the end and show a summary.

+
+**Never skip a step.** Walk every step in order **and** every conditional sub-step its branch activates; never omit one, and **never silently take a default for a step the flow reaches**. The pre-selected value is a convenience, not licence to not ask; a step counts as done only once the user has actually answered it. If a choice opens follow-ups (e.g. *pick specific CLIs* → which ones **and** how many rounds; *browser on* → base URL), ask **each** before moving on.
 
-1. **Scope** — 🌍 Global default · 📁 This project (the map's `## Config`). Skip to global when there's no map.
-2. **🧠 Models** — pick for **plan** and **execute**. Offer **inherit session** (the default) plus the session's own model and the concrete models it can reach — **always by full id**, because bare family names are now ambiguous (a family spans several live versions, e.g. Opus 4.8 *and* Opus 5). Never store `opus`/`sonnet`/`haiku` alone. Present the current lineup as options: the Opus family (`claude-opus-5`, `claude-opus-4-8`), `claude-sonnet-5`, `claude-haiku-4-5`, and `claude-fable-5` (Anthropic's most capable) — this list ages, so verify it against the models actually available at setup time rather than trusting it verbatim. The rarer `research`/`review`/`debug` sit behind an "Advanced" option.
-3. **🎨 Design** — 💾 Local disk · 🖼️ claude.ai/design. *Mode only — don't ask for a URL here; the concrete project is created or reused at execution time (see Prototype).* Then **✅ Mockup approval** — 🖐️ Explicit (wait for a go-ahead before UI code) · ⏩ Auto (proceed without blocking).
-4. **🧪 TDD** — 🎯 Seams only · ✅ On (all definable behaviour) · ⛔ Off.
-5. **🌐 Acceptance testing** — 🤖 Auto · ▶️ Always browser · 🙋 Guided UAT only. If browser is enabled, ask **🔗 base URL** and confirm it's a web app.
-6. **🧑‍⚖️ Plan review** — ⛔ Off · 🤝 All detected CLIs · 🎯 Pick specific (from the CLIs found on PATH). If on, ask **🔁 rounds** (default 2).
+1. **Scope**: 🌍 Global default (`~/.claude/trailhead/config.json`) · 📁 This project (`.trailhead/config.json` at the repo root). Skip to global outside a repo.
+2. **🌐 Ticket language**: the language trailhead writes its GitHub prose & commit descriptions in (`ticket.language`, ISO 639-1). Offer 🇬🇧 English (`en`, default) · 🇮🇹 Italiano (`it`) · 🇪🇸 Español (`es`) · 🇫🇷 Français (`fr`) · 🇩🇪 Deutsch (`de`) · 🇵🇹 Português (`pt`), plus a free-code option for any other ISO 639-1 code. Note in the prompt that this is *not* the language the agent converses in.
+3. **🧠 Models**: **always two separate questions, one for `plan` and one for `execute`; never merge them into a single model pick.** Ask each as its own `AskUserQuestion` menu (current value pre-selected), and offer the **same versioned lineup** to both. Each option is a **full model id with its version**; never a bare family alias (`opus`/`sonnet`/`haiku`), which can't say *which* live version. Build the list from the models actually reachable **at setup time** (verify, don't trust this file verbatim), offering **at least the two most recent versions per family**, e.g. `claude-fable-5`, `claude-opus-5` / `claude-opus-4-8`, `claude-sonnet-5` / `claude-sonnet-4-8`, `claude-haiku-4-5`, plus **inherit session** (the default). If that lineup exceeds the menu's option cap, drill **family → version** or include a free-id "Other" so every recent version stays reachable. The rarer `research`/`review`/`debug` sit behind an "Advanced" option, each its own separate choice, same versioned rule.
+   - **Anti-pattern, never do this:** a single screen whose options are *combined* plan+execute presets, e.g. `🧠 Plan 4.8 / Exec Sonnet 5`, `🚀 Tutto Opus 5`, `Plan Opus 5 / Exec Sonnet 5`. That bundles the two decisions into one pick. Forbidden. Plan is asked, answered, and only then is Execute asked, as a second menu. Two questions, two answers, always.
+4. **🎨 Design**: 💾 Local disk · 🖼️ claude.ai/design (DesignSync → a **design-system** project). *Mode only, don't ask for a URL here; the concrete design-system project is created or reused at execution time via DesignSync, and its projectId cached in `design.project` (see Prototype).* Then **✅ Mockup approval**: 🖐️ Explicit (wait for a go-ahead before UI code) · ⏩ Auto (proceed without blocking).
+5. **🧪 TDD**: 🎯 Seams only · ✅ On (all definable behaviour) · ⛔ Off.
+6. **🖥️ Acceptance testing**: 🤖 Auto · ▶️ Always browser · 🙋 Guided UAT only. If browser is enabled, ask **🔗 base URL** and confirm it's a web app.
+7. **🧑‍⚖️ Plan review**: **before presenting this menu, first probe the PATH for known external AI CLIs** (e.g. `gemini`, `codex`, and any others the Cross-AI plan review technique recognises): run the detection, then build the menu from what was actually found. Never present this step with a hard-coded two-option list; the options are computed from the probe:
+   - **No CLI found**: offer only ⛔ Off, and say in the prompt that no external AI CLI was detected on the PATH (so the other choices would do nothing).
+   - **One CLI found**: ⛔ Off · 🤝 Use `<name>`. (With a single CLI, "all" and "pick specific" collapse to the same thing, so don't show both.)
+   - **Two or more found**: ⛔ Off · 🤝 All detected (`<name>`, `<name>`, …) · 🎯 Pick specific. Always show all three; never drop *Pick specific*. On *Pick specific*, ask **which CLIs** as a **multi-select** listing each detected CLI by name (never a free-text field). List the actual names found by the probe, not the placeholder examples from this file.
+   
+   **Anything but Off has mandatory follow-ups, never skip them:** after the CLIs are settled (whether via *All detected* or *Pick specific*), ask **🔁 rounds** (default 2). Off is the only branch with no follow-up; every other path asks rounds explicitly rather than taking the default.
+8. **📊 Statusline**: offer trailhead's **Claude Code status bar**, and **say in the prompt what it shows** so the choice is informed. It renders one line: **model · project · branch · plan usage (`5h %` · `⏳ reset` · `7d %`) · a context-window bar (`362k/1000k (45%)`)**, plus a **second line with the active ticket** (`▸ #N Title`) whenever one is in play (from the `trailhead/t<n>` branch or the `.trailhead/session-ticket` marker). The plan-usage % comes from Anthropic's own usage endpoint (the same source the Claude UI uses); the context bar and ticket are computed locally. Options: ⛔ **Off** (default; leave your statusline untouched) · ✅ **Enable**.
+   - On **Enable**, install it: copy the shipped script (`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/statusline-trailhead.sh` for a plugin install, or `~/.claude/trailhead/templates/statusline-trailhead.sh` for an npm install, whichever exists) to `~/.claude/statusline-trailhead.sh` (executable), then set `statusLine` in `~/.claude/settings.json` to `{ "type": "command", "command": "bash \"$HOME/.claude/statusline-trailhead.sh\"" }`. **This is a global Claude Code setting, not per-project**, so it always lands in `~/.claude/settings.json` regardless of the scope chosen in step 1.
+   - **If a `statusLine` is already configured** (e.g. `ccstatusline`), **do not clobber it silently**: show what it is and ask whether to **replace** it with trailhead's, or **keep** the current one (in which case, mention that the script also supports single-segment widgets, `--ticket-only` / `--context-only` / `--usage-only`, to add into an existing statusline tool). Needs `jq` and `python3` on the PATH; if either is missing, say so and skip the enable rather than wiring a broken command.
 
 Keep the icons stable so the menus read the same each run. `config get` shows the same fields as a compact icon summary, read-only.

+# Inbox: triaging issues opened by others
+
+`/trailhead:inbox [issue]` triages issues that aren't trailhead tickets (bug reports, feature requests, questions) and **integrates the worthwhile ones into the map**, keeping the reporter's authorship.
+
+`/trailhead:inbox` presents **three sections**:
+
+**A. New: to triage.** Open issues carrying **no** `trailhead:*` label (plus any `trailhead:unverified` from the trust guard):
+```bash
+gh issue list --state open --json number,title,author,labels \
+  | jq '[.[] | select([.labels[].name] | any(startswith("trailhead:")) | not)]'
+```
+
+**B. Parked fog: any ready to graduate?** The open `trailhead:fog` issues, **most-recently-active first**: recent discussion is exactly where the fog has likely cleared, so you review those, not all of them:
+```bash
+gh issue list --label trailhead:fog --state open --search "sort:updated-desc"
+```
+This is **how you notice a fog has cleared**: you don't watch each thread; you run the inbox (as you would to triage new issues), and section B surfaces the parked items that moved. For each, decide: **graduate** (adopt in place, see Fog of war), **keep parked** (still vague), or **drop** (turned out out-of-scope/dead → `trailhead:out-of-scope` + close). Optionally, a participant can nudge readiness by commenting on the thread; you confirm at graduation.
+
+**C. Out of scope: any line actually deferred?** Scan the map's *Out of scope* section for lines that are **deferred**, not truly ruled out: ones that **name a gate or trigger** (*gated by X*, *quando X*, *dipende da X*), carry a **this-only scope qualifier** (*per questo slice*, *for now*, *in this milestone*, not for the product), describe a **feature wanted later** (already annotated `→ future map`, or plainly still on the roadmap), or **are the gate of an existing `trailhead:seed`**. That last one is a **near-deterministic check**: cross-reference every open `trailhead:seed`'s trigger / `## Blocked by` against the *Out of scope* lines; a line some seed waits on is a **live gate**, so it cannot be "ruled out" and the cluster is **mis-wired** (the gate was left behind), re-route it. A line **decided against for the product** (won't be built, wrong approach, no "for this slice" qualifier) stays put; and a line **already properly parked** (annotated `→ future map` with its dependent seeds wired to a live trigger) is settled, skip it. Only **un-parked** deferred lines surface here. For each deferred line, **ask the user** (never decide silently) how to re-route it, `seed` / `idea` / `todo`, and **which map** it belongs to (this one, or a future / other map), then apply the **out-of-scope-vs-deferred** rules from SKILL.md: **re-route the gate first**, tie its dependents to the gate's new form with a **live trigger** (never a dead "ruled out" line), and **move the whole cluster together**. Update or remove the *Out of scope* line to match where each item went (a future-map item stays as an annotated `→ future map` line; an item pulled into this map leaves *Out of scope* entirely).
+
+For each issue in either of the first two sections, decide, with the user for judgement calls, on your own for clear ones:
+
+- **Adopt → a ticket.** Integrate it *in place* (same issue number, so the reporter stays credited): append a trailhead block to the body: `Parent: <map name+link>`, `Adopted-from: opened by @<author>`, a reframed `## Question` (the decision/build the *map* will act on), and `## Blocked by`, **without erasing the reporter's original text above it**. Apply `trailhead:ticket` + the right type label (`bug`/`decision`/`build`/`research`/`task`) as a write-access maintainer (which also satisfies Trust & provenance), plus the map's `trailhead:map-<n>` label + native sub-issue edge (like any ticket, so it joins the right map's frontier); add `trailhead:blocked` if it has an open blocker. It lands on the frontier. Comment to the reporter that it's been picked up.
+- **Fog.** In scope but not sharp enough to ticket → **keep the issue open and label it `trailhead:fog`** (parked: still visible and tracked, but the `trailhead:*` label drops it out of the inbound query, so it won't re-surface at every triage). Then use the open issue as a **clarification space**: post a comment with the questions that would make it concrete, in the spirit of **Grilling**, but async ("what would *done* look like? which users? where does it show?"), and invite the reporter and anyone interested to refine it in the thread. The fog dissipates through that conversation as much as through other work landing; others can carry the discussion with the reporter without you in the loop. **You don't lose it**: `gh issue list --label trailhead:fog` is the durable list, and the reporter follows their own open issue. When the thread (or the wider work) has made the question sharp, **adopt it in place**: swap `trailhead:fog` for `trailhead:ticket` + the type label, add `Parent:` and the now-answerable `## Question`, and it lands on the frontier: same issue, same reporter, the clarifying discussion preserved above.
+- **Out of scope.** Beyond the destination → label `trailhead:out-of-scope`, close with the why.
+- **Duplicate.** Link the existing ticket and close.
+- **Needs info.** Ask the reporter for a repro or specifics; leave it open.
+
+A rogue issue wearing a `trailhead:*` label it shouldn't (now `trailhead:unverified`) is triaged the same way: **adopt** (a maintainer applies the real labels + `Parent:`) or **reject** (strip the `trailhead:*` labels, leave it a normal inbound issue). Never adopt by trusting a label that was already there; you apply the labels on adoption.

+# Working as a team
+
+Many people (and their agent sessions) share one map and work it concurrently. The tracker is the single source of truth; these conventions keep concurrent work from colliding.
+
+## Claiming
+Whoever claims a ticket **owns it end to end**: they work it and close it themselves. "Owner" means only "the current claimer of *this* ticket," never a project-wide approver; there is no gate and no one to wait on to close your own ticket. GitHub assignment isn't an atomic lock, so keep the protocol simple and human-decided:
+
+1. **Before claiming, check it's not already being worked.** Read the assignee. **trailhead runs as the user's own gh account, so `@me` is the user's login:** a ticket assigned to that account is **already yours**, so proceed silently to work it (this is the normal "continue / resume your own ticket" case), don't re-announce the claim or treat it as a collision. Only a **different** login means in-progress-by-someone-else: don't take it; pick another frontier ticket. (If the user explicitly named a ticket held by another login, stop and tell them it's assigned to `<login>`; if they named one already assigned to their own account, just work it.)
+2. **Claim it**: assign it to yourself: `gh issue edit <n> --add-assignee @me`.
+3. **Re-check right before starting work.** Read the assignee again. If someone else got assigned in the meantime, **do not do any work, stop and flag it to the user with a clear message**, e.g.:
+
+   > ⚠️ **Claim collision on “<ticket name>” (#<n>).** It's now also assigned to **@<other-login>**, who may be working it right now. I've stopped and done nothing. How do you want to proceed?
+   > 1. **Leave it to them**: I'll unassign myself and take the next frontier ticket.
+   > 2. **Take it over**: I'll keep it and post a comment notifying @<other-login> that you're taking it.
+
+   Do exactly what the user chooses; never resolve the collision silently.
+4. **Unclaim if you stop.** Pausing or abandoning a ticket → remove your assignment so it returns to the frontier. A claimed-but-idle ticket is invisible work.
+5. **Never touch a ticket someone else holds.** Don't edit its body, labels, or state; contribute via a comment and let its owner incorporate it.
+
+## Isolating concurrent sessions
+Claiming stops two sessions from working the *same* ticket; it does nothing about two sessions working *different* tickets in the **same checkout**. The working tree and the git index are process-global: two agents editing and committing in one clone corrupt each other's state regardless of ticket type (a `bug` is no more or less exposed than a `build`). The claim is the ticket-level lock; the **worktree is the filesystem-level one**.
+
+The repo's `trailhead:conventions` `isolation:` header decides:
+- **`none`** (default): one session at a time per checkout. Simplest, and correct for a repo worked one ticket at a time. Two concurrent sessions here must use **separate clones**, or they collide.
+- **`worktree`**: each executing ticket runs in its own `git worktree` on a `trailhead/t<n>` branch (`git worktree add ../<repo>-t<n> -b trailhead/t<n>`), so concurrent sessions never share a working tree or index. Because git refuses to check out one branch in two worktrees, **worktree isolation implies a branch per ticket even under `git: main`**: the trunk is never checked out twice. At **Resolve**, integrate the branch to the trunk per `git:` (fast-forward or merge into `main`, or open the PR when `git: pr`), then `git worktree remove` it. On **Pause**, the `PAUSED` checkpoint records the worktree path and branch so a resume (by anyone, once released) lands back in it.
+- **`clone`**: each executing ticket works in its own **independent working copy** at `../<repo>-t<n>` (or the **submodule repo** at `../<sub>-t<n>` for submodule-scoped work) on a `trailhead/t<n>` branch. That is the point: it has its own installed dependencies, so it **builds and UATs like the real thing**: the isolation for **path-bound apps a worktree can't run** (React Native/Expo, native toolchains, a local `node_modules`). **A clone is heavy (a full clone + an install), so gate it every time: before cloning, ask whether more than one ticket will be worked at once on this machine this session. If not, skip the clone and work this ticket in the current checkout** (isolation only guards concurrent workspaces; a lone ticket has nothing to collide with). If yes, set it up at work-start by **whichever is faster**:
+  - **`git clone` + the project's install step** (clean git; pays the install cost), or
+  - **a folder copy that brings `node_modules`** (`cp -r` the repo or superproject) to **skip the reinstall**, usually faster for a big `node_modules`. **Catch (git independence):** a raw copy can leave the copy's `.git` (or a submodule's `.git` file) pointing back at the **original**, so its commits would leak there. Verify with `git -C <copy> rev-parse --absolute-git-dir` (and the same inside any submodule): it must resolve **inside the copy**. If it doesn't, re-point it, or use the `git clone` route and copy only `node_modules` across.
+
+  At **Resolve**, push the branch and integrate per `git:` (into `main`, or a PR); for a submodule, push the submodule branch, then bump the gitlink in the main working clone. Record the copy's path in the `PAUSED` checkpoint and delete it once integrated.
+
+Prefer `worktree` whenever more than one session may run on a single clone. On a **monorepo** it is doubly worth it: `git worktree add` shares the object store, so it is far cheaper than a second full clone of a large tree.
+
+**If the header never set `isolation:` at all** (a repo charted or adopted before it was chosen, so it silently defaults to `none`), the **work-start check** (SKILL.md Mode 2) catches it: on a real collision risk (another in-progress ticket, or path-bound tooling in this ticket's `Scope:`) it proposes the fitting mode and, whatever the user decides (including keeping `none`), writes the `isolation:` key so the choice is recorded and it never prompts again. A header that already carries `isolation:` (any value) was chosen deliberately and is left alone.
+
+**When a worktree can't build, use `clone`: path-bound tooling.** A worktree isolates *source*, but it is a fresh directory at a new path with no installed dependencies. For a package or submodule whose build/run is **bound to a fixed path** (React Native/Expo, native toolchains, anything with a local `node_modules`, a Metro/bundler cache, or absolute-path config), the code checks out but the app **won't build or UAT from the worktree** without reinstalling and reconfiguring. For those set **`isolation: clone`** (a dedicated clone installs its own deps and runs like the real app), or, if you don't want per-ticket clones, keep **`isolation: none`** and **serialise** that package (one session at a time on it; the other takes a disjoint `Scope:`). Worktree isolation shines where any checkout builds from any path (most libraries, Go/Rust/Python source trees, docs); `clone` is its heavier counterpart for path-bound app toolchains.
+
+**Git submodules are separate repos.** When a ticket's changes land inside a submodule (its own repo, gitlink-tracked by the superproject), isolate at the *submodule* level, not the superproject: a `git worktree` **of the submodule** on its own branch, commit there, then **bump the gitlink** in the superproject (which follows the superproject's own `git:`/`isolation:`). A superproject worktree does **not** cleanly carry submodule state (`git worktree add` leaves submodules uninitialised, and linked-worktree submodule support is historically incomplete), so never isolate the superproject to isolate submodule-only work. If the submodule holds a **path-bound app** (so a worktree won't build it), set **`isolation: clone`**: a per-ticket clone of the submodule repo that installs its own deps, works and UATs, then pushes its branch and has the gitlink bumped in the main clone. If you want neither per-submodule worktrees nor per-ticket clones, keep **`isolation: none` for submodule work** (commit in the submodule + bump the gitlink in the current checkout), stating the tradeoff: that submodule then **serialises** across sessions (overlapping `Scope:` holds at claim).
+
+**A ticket that spans two or more submodules.** First ask whether it should be **split**: if the work decomposes into per-submodule pieces wired by a blocker (the gitlink bump waits on the code), prefer that. It stays one ticket only when the change is genuinely atomic across them (a shared contract both sides must adopt together). Then:
+- **Commits are coordinated, never one cross-repo commit** (git can't span repos): commit inside each submodule on its branch **first** (the objects must exist before anything can point at them), then a **single superproject commit that bumps all the gitlinks together** is the atomic "these versions ship as a set" record.
+- Its **`Scope:` lists every submodule path it touches**, so the coupling check treats a shared submodule path as overlap and flags a second session touching either one.
+- Under `isolation: worktree`, isolate **each touched repo** another session might also touch (a worktree per submodule, plus the parent for the bump); under `none`, work them in the current checkout and accept that each touched submodule serialises against other sessions.
+
+## Pausing & resuming
+Switching away from a ticket mid-work (to clear a blocker, chase an urgent bug, or just stop) must not lose the thread.
+- **Pause** (`/trailhead:pause [note]`): first commit any work-in-progress (atomic) so nothing is stranded, then post a **`PAUSED`** checkpoint comment: what's done, the exact next step, and any local state (branch, **worktree path under `isolation: worktree`**, how to run it). Keep the claim if you'll return soon; **release it** (unassign) if it's open-ended, so someone else can resume; the checkpoint is what makes that safe. If you release, also remove the `.trailhead/session-ticket` marker (SKILL.md Mode 2); if you keep the claim, leave it.
+- **Resume** (`/trailhead:resume [ticket]`): read the ticket's latest `PAUSED` checkpoint (and the `DISCUSS`/`PLAN` comments above it), then pick up at the recorded next step. Anyone may resume a *released* ticket; a still-claimed one, only its owner.
+- One ticket per session still holds: pausing A to work B ideally means B in a fresh session. If you must switch within one session, checkpoint A first; never leave it half-done and unrecorded.
+
+## Parking & switching between maps
+A repo can hold **more than one live map** at once: you park one to work another, or a teammate charts a second and works it concurrently. The mechanics (native sub-issue + per-map `trailhead:map-<n>` label, the scoped frontier, the `.trailhead/active-map` marker, pin policy) are in **SKILL.md → [Multiple maps on one repo]**; this is the operational side.
+- **Park a map** = **pause** whatever ticket is in play (`/trailhead:pause`, a `PAUSED` checkpoint, release or keep the claim as usual), then point `.trailhead/active-map` at the other map's number. The parked map needs nothing else: it lives entirely on the Issues, so it waits intact. Resume it later by making it active again and running `/trailhead:work`.
+- **Switch to another map** = set `.trailhead/active-map` (or name the map: `/trailhead:map <n>`); the frontier query then scopes to that map's label. `gh issue list --label trailhead:map --state open` lists the live maps if you forget which are open.
+- **Two maps, one repo, at the same time**: their frontiers never mix (distinct `trailhead:map-<n>` labels), but they share **one working tree and one git history**. So the [isolation](#isolating-concurrent-sessions) and [undeclared-coupling](#undeclared-coupling-between-parallel-tickets) rules apply **across maps**, not just within one: two in-progress tickets from *different* maps with overlapping `Scope:` still serialise (or want a worktree/clone) exactly as same-map ones do. The `Scope:` check scans in-progress tickets **repo-wide**, not per map.
+- **Claiming is unchanged**: the assignee is the claim, per ticket, regardless of which map it belongs to.
+
+## Splitting a ticket
+A ticket is sized to one ~100K-token session. When a claimed ticket turns out too big, or fans into distinct pieces, **split it**: don't grind through an oversized ticket:
+1. **Create the child tickets** (create-then-wire): each carries `Parent: <map>`, a `Split from: <original name+link>` line, its type label, the map's `trailhead:map-<n>` label + native sub-issue edge (like any ticket), and `trailhead:blocked` if it has an open blocker. **When children block each other** (B builds on A), wire B's blocker (both the `## Blocked by` line and the native dependency) at the **sibling child's real id (A)**, never at the split-origin: that original is being superseded and closed, so nothing may point at it as a live blocker. Describe A by role if you like, but *link its actual number*.
+2. **Supersede the original**: post a comment listing the children (`split into <names+links>`), label it **`trailhead:superseded`**, and **close it**. The children fully replace it.
+3. The superseded ticket stays **out of `Decisions so far`** (it wasn't a decision walked; its children are). If other tickets were blocked by the original, re-point their `## Blocked by` at the relevant child and re-evaluate their `trailhead:blocked`.
+
+Splitting is not resolving: a superseded ticket delivered nothing itself. (If instead the ticket sits beyond the destination, that's *out of scope*, not a split.)
+
+## Undeclared coupling between parallel tickets
+Two frontier tickets can be *unblocked of each other* yet still collide: they touch the **same file or seam** with no `## Blocked by` between them. Because build tickets commit **straight to `main`** (or, under `isolation: worktree`, integrate their branch back into it), that collision surfaces as a merge conflict or a logic race, not a caught error; worktree isolation defers *when* it bites (at integration, not mid-edit) but does not remove it. So **at plan time** (once you know the files/seam this ticket touches), scan the other **in-progress** tickets (claimed/assigned, open) and **flag coupling** only when all three hold: same frontier, no declared blocker between them, and a *specific* shared mutable resource (the same file, config key, table/migration, singleton, or seam) that at least one side **writes** (or one produces state the other consumes). On a flag: either wire the blocker (`## Blocked by` + native dependency + `trailhead:blocked`) so one waits, or coordinate with the other claimer and note why it's safe. It's **advisory, never a hard stop**. **Do NOT flag:** both read-only, an already-declared blocker, one clearly downstream of the other, or a vague "same subsystem" with no concrete shared resource.
+
+**Path scope sharpens this (monorepo).** When tickets carry a `Scope:` line (the package/dir(s) they work in, see the ticket anatomy in SKILL.md), use it as the first filter: **disjoint scopes parallelize safely** (two tickets in unrelated packages can't share a file), so the check narrows to tickets whose scopes overlap or that both touch a shared lib / root config. Absent a `Scope:` line, fall back to the file/seam judgement above. Scope is a *hint that rules coupling out fast*, never a guarantee it exists: overlapping scopes still need the shared-writable-resource test before you flag.
+
+**Serialising a scope (`isolation: none`).** This is how you keep two sessions off the same submodule/package when worktrees don't fit (a path-bound app, see the isolation section). Under `isolation: none` the working tree is shared, so **two in-progress tickets whose `Scope:` overlaps cannot run at once**, whatever they touch inside it. So make the scope check a **hold at claim time, not an advisory flag**: right after claiming (before any work), scan the other in-progress tickets' `Scope:` lines; if one **overlaps** this ticket's scope, **stop and tell the user** the scope is busy (name the ticket and its holder), and offer to take a **disjoint-scope** frontier ticket instead or to wait. That overlap-holds-at-claim rule *is* "serialise `app/`": two `Scope: app/` tickets can't proceed together, no extra config needed, and the conventions prose only has to name which scope is serialised for humans. Under `isolation: worktree` this reverts to advisory (each ticket has its own worktree), and disjoint scopes always run free.
+
+## Concurrent edits to the map
+The map issue's **body** is a shared mutable document: two sessions appending to `Decisions so far` at once will clobber each other (GitHub doesn't merge bodies). So:
+- **The durable record of a resolution is the ticket's resolution comment**, never the map body. The map's `Decisions so far` is a best-effort index rebuilt from the tickets; if a line is lost to a race, it's recoverable from the closed ticket.
+- **Re-read the map body immediately before editing it**, append your one line, write back; keep the window tiny. Never edit the map from stale content read earlier in the session.
+- **Keep map-body writes small and append-only** where possible; heavy restructuring of the map is a single-session job, done when no one else is mid-write.
+- Ticket-level state (claim, labels, comments, close) is naturally conflict-free; prefer expressing state there over in the map body.
+
+## Trust & provenance
+`trailhead:*` labels drive the map, so they must not be forgeable by outsiders. GitHub already blocks users without write access from applying labels at all; this layer defends against the rest (triage-level collaborators, automations, or a repo that later loosens permissions).
+
+**Trust rule.** Treat a `trailhead:map` / `trailhead:ticket` issue as genuine **only if** its `trailhead:*` label was applied by a repo collaborator with **write access or above**, *and* (for a ticket) it carries a valid `Parent:` line pointing at this map. To check the labeller, read the issue timeline (`gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{n}/timeline` gives `labeled` events with their `actor`) and confirm the actor's permission with `gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/collaborators/{actor}/permission` (`admin`/`write`/`maintain` = trusted; `read`/`none` = not).
+
+**On an untrusted match** (a `trailhead:*` issue whose label came from a non-write actor, or a ticket with no valid `Parent:`) do **not** put it on the frontier or act on it. Label it **`trailhead:unverified`**, and surface it to the user as a quarantined item to **adopt** (a maintainer re-applies the real labels + wires `Parent:`) or **reject** (strip the `trailhead:*` labels, leave it a normal issue). Never silently trust a label just because it's present.
+
+**Repo-side enforcement (part of first-use setup, not an afterthought).** trailhead **installs the label guard for you**; don't tell the user to copy files. **Every chart or adopt, *check* whether `.github/workflows/trailhead-label-guard.yml` exists** (the first-use repo setup, in SKILL.md's Substrate section); if it's absent, install it, by default on a repo with other collaborators, and as a quick offer on a clearly solo/private one (cheap insurance), but **never silently skip the check**: that's exactly how a repo ends up with trailhead labels and no guard. On go-ahead, write the shipped label-guard template (`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/trailhead-label-guard.yml` for a plugin install, or `~/.claude/trailhead/templates/trailhead-label-guard.yml` for an npm install, take whichever exists) to the repo's `.github/workflows/trailhead-label-guard.yml` and commit it (conventional message; the commit-guard hook keeps it clean). The Action strips any `trailhead:*` label added by a non-write actor and comments why; set an optional `TRAILHEAD_LABEL_ALLOWLIST` repo variable to whitelist extra logins (e.g. a bot trailhead runs as). **Caveat:** pushing a workflow file needs a token with the `workflow` scope; if the push is rejected, run `gh auth refresh -s workflow` and retry (or, as a last resort, tell the user to add the file by hand).

 # Acceptance testing
 Automated tests prove the code does what the *code* intended; acceptance testing proves it does what the *user* wanted. After tests + code review pass, decide whether the change needs acceptance testing (user-facing behaviour usually does; a pure refactor or internal util usually doesn't) and pick the cheapest sufficient path:
 
-- **Automated first.** Run the ticket's test/criterion and the suite. If that fully covers the behaviour, you're done.
+- **Automated first, but it does NOT discharge acceptance for user-facing behaviour.** Run the ticket's test/criterion and the suite. Passing tests prove *code-intent*; they close acceptance only for a change the user never sees (refactor, internal util). For anything the user perceives (a new screen, data that now appears/updates, a changed flow) automated green is *not* "done": you still owe a browser-drive or a guided UAT.
 - **Browser-drivable web app → drive it yourself.** Governed by `config.acceptance.browser` + `config.testing`: when it's `auto`/`on` and `testing.webapp` + `testing.url` are set, use the browser-automation tools to exercise the actual change end-to-end (navigate, fill, click, assert visible state; capture a screenshot into the `VERIFY` comment). Prefer this over asking the human when the flow is scriptable. Never trigger native/JS dialogs that would wedge the session.
-- **Needs human judgement → guided UAT.** When only a person can judge it (visual polish, feel, real credentials, hardware), hand them a **numbered checklist**: exact steps, the expected result per step, and where to click. Record their pass/fail per step in the `VERIFY` comment. Don't close on green you didn't actually see.
+- **No browser path → guided UAT is MANDATORY, and it is CONVERSATIONAL.** When `config.acceptance.browser` is `off`, or there's no `testing.url`, or the target isn't browser-drivable (a mobile/native app, a CLI, real hardware, real credentials), **`off` means "acceptance via a guided walkthrough," not "skip acceptance."** For any user-facing change you MUST **run the human through the UAT one step at a time, in the chat**: state step 1 (what to do, where to tap/look, the expected result), then **stop and wait** for the human to report what they actually saw; only then move to step 2. It is a dialogue *you* drive, turn by turn, not a list you hand over. **Anti-pattern, never do this:** post the full numbered checklist and point the user at the ticket to self-serve ("follow the 9 steps in the comment of #NN"). That is exactly the failure this rule kills: the checklist is the *record*, never the *interaction*. Mirror each step's outcome into the `VERIFY` comment as you go; don't close on green you didn't actually see.
+  - **On a failing step: stop, take note, open the closing ticket then and there.** A failed step is an acceptance finding, not a footnote: record expected-vs-seen, and immediately open the follow-up that will carry it to resolution: a `bug` ticket (with `Regression of:`/`Surfaced from:` as fits), or a fix on this ticket before it resolves if it's small and in-scope. Then ask the human whether to keep going through the remaining steps or stop here. Never silently log a fail and carry on to Resolve.
+  - **When only some steps are runnable now** (e.g. a few need a backend deployed first), walk the runnable ones conversationally **now**, and mark the rest **explicitly pending** with what unblocks them, tracked as below. Don't defer the whole UAT just because part of it is blocked.
+  - **When the human can only run it later** (on-device, hardware you don't have right now), record the full numbered checklist in the `VERIFY` comment as the durable artifact and mark UAT **explicitly pending**, but the walkthrough stays conversational **when they come to run it**: never shrink it to a vague one-liner ("just check it on the device"), and never let "automated passed" quietly stand in for it. Deferring *where/when* the human runs it is fine; replacing the live step-by-step with a self-serve checklist is not.
+  - **Pending UAT must stay tracked: a closed ticket is not tracking.** Don't resolve/close a user-facing ticket on unconfirmed acceptance and leave the checklist as a comment on the closed issue, where nobody will look. Either **keep the ticket open** until the human confirms the UAT passes (the default: closing on green you didn't see is a premature close), **or**, if the project deliberately batches on-device UAT, spin a follow-up **`task`** that carries the checklist and sits on the frontier until it's run. The pending check must be visible on the tracker, not buried.
 
 Acceptance failures are findings like any other: a `bug` follow-up or a fix on this ticket before it resolves.

-A bug is a science problem: observe, hypothesize, test, confirm, verify. Never patch on a hunch — an unconfirmed fix is a guess that recurs. Treat the issue as persistent debug state: log every hypothesis, test, and eliminated cause as comments, so a context reset never restarts the investigation.
+A bug is a science problem: observe, hypothesize, test, confirm, verify. Never patch on a hunch: an unconfirmed fix is a guess that recurs. Treat the issue as persistent debug state: log every hypothesis, test, and eliminated cause as comments, so a context reset never restarts the investigation.
 
-1. **Reproduce — build a feedback loop.** Get ONE command you've actually run that goes red on *this exact symptom* and green when fixed: a failing test at the nearest seam, a curl against a dev server, a CLI diff vs a known-good snapshot, a replayed trace. Tighten it: faster, sharper (assert the specific symptom), deterministic (pin time, seed RNG, freeze network). No red-capable command → do NOT hypothesize; say so, list what you tried, ask for env access or a redacted artifact. For flaky bugs, chase a *higher* repro rate (loop 100×, parallelize, widen timing windows) — 50% is debuggable, 1% is not.
-2. **Harden the repro.** Minimize: cut inputs, callers, config one at a time, re-running after each — keep only what's load-bearing. For input-class bugs, wrap in a property and let the shrinker auto-minimize; store the minimized seed. Bound stress runs (~60s).
-3. **Classify.** *Bohrbug* (deterministic) → SBFL → bisect → binary search. *Heisenbug/Mandelbug* (transient, changes under observation) → record-replay / stress; do NOT trust SBFL (flaky spectrum poisons the ranking). *Concurrency* → run the atomicity/order/deadlock checklist FIRST. Scan common patterns (null access, off-by-one, missing await, stale closure, shared mutation, coercion, data-shape drift) — ~80% of bugs live here; each match is a candidate hypothesis.
+When run as a subagent, spawn it as the built-in **`general-purpose`** agent (it adds instrumentation and regression tests, so it needs Write); **never** a specialised debugger agent that another installed tool registered.
+
+**Redact as you go.** These notes are posted on public Issues. When you show a command, output, or artifact, replace every secret with `<REDACTED>` and run loops against env vars, never inlined credentials; quote only the signal-carrying lines, not whole dumps. If a redacted artifact isn't enough to move forward, say so and ask the user; never paste the raw one to compensate.

 4. **Localize.** *SBFL:* with per-test coverage, rank code by Ochiai `failed(s)/sqrt(totalFailed×(failed(s)+passed(s)))` before spending reasoning. *Bisection:* `git bisect run` across commits; delta-debug the culprit down to the line, or the input to the minimal trigger. *Binary search:* halve the execution path (db→api→serialize→frontend). *Work backwards* from known-good output to the divergence. *Follow indirection:* for constructed paths/keys/URLs, resolve the writer's value and the reader's and confirm they agree. Add observability *before* changing behaviour.
-5. **Hypothesize — branch, don't chain.** Generate 3–5 ranked, *falsifiable* hypotheses before testing any ("if X is the cause, changing Y makes it vanish / Z makes it worse"). Actively seek disconfirming evidence: "what would prove me wrong?" Treat your own code as foreign — your implementation decisions are hypotheses, not facts.
-6. **Instrument — one variable at a time.** Each probe maps to a specific prediction. Prefer a debugger/REPL breakpoint over ten logs; never "log everything and grep." Tag debug logs with a unique prefix (`[DEBUG-a4f2]`) so cleanup is one grep. For perf regressions, measure a baseline first (profiler, query plan), then bisect — logs mislead here.
-7. **Confirm root cause, not symptom.** Enumerate candidate causes across ≥2 categories (code / config / environment / data). Ask the AND-gate: *could this need more than one condition at once?* If yes, a single cause can't account for the symptom — find the co-occurring cause(s); the fix must address all or it recurs. Record confirmed cause(s); append eliminated branches (never delete — auditability).
-8. **RCA branching — when a hypothesis fails.** Disproof is progress: move it to Eliminated with the evidence, test the next ranked one. If 3+ fixes failed or you can't explain current behaviour, your mental model is wrong — restart: write what's certain, what's ruled out, generate *new* hypotheses, begin again from reproduction.
-9. **Verify the fix.** State the oracle before the assertion (specified > derived/model > metamorphic > implicit-crash — never settle for "didn't crash"). Write the regression test at a correct seam exercising the real bug pattern; if none can exist, that absence IS a finding — flag it. Watch it fail, apply the fix, watch it pass. Then: original repro gone, full suite green, boundary neighbours (N-1/N/N+1, empty/singleton) pass, all `[DEBUG-]` probes and throwaway harnesses removed, winning hypothesis recorded in the commit.

 # Grilling
 Interrogate the human live, one question at a time, until the decision is unambiguous and its rationale is captured. This is human-in-the-loop: the decision is theirs, so never answer on their behalf, never assume an answer you haven't heard, never proceed on silence.
 
-- **Map the decision as a tree.** Every choice branches into the choices that hang off it. Work in rounds. The *frontier* is every question whose prerequisites are already settled — the ones you can ask now without guessing.

-- **One question at a time, with your pick.** Number the question, state it, and offer your recommended answer. Then stop and wait. Each answer reshapes the tree — settled decisions push the frontier outward. Recompute and ask the next.
-- **Facts are your job, decisions are theirs.** When a question needs a fact from the environment (filesystem, code, tools), go find it yourself — never ask the human what you could look up. Only questions downstream of that lookup wait; ask the rest now.
-- **Refuse vague and hedged answers.** "Good," "fast," "simple," "users," "later" are not answers — probe. *Fast how — sub-second, or handles large datasets? Users — the Customer or the operator?* Make the abstract concrete: "walk me through it," "give me an example," "what does that actually look like?"
-- **Offer concrete options to react to, not open air.** Present 2–4 sharp interpretations or specific choices that reveal priorities — never generic buckets ("technical/business/other") or leading options. But when the human signals they want to explain in their own words, drop the options and let them; resume structured questions after.
-- **Surface hidden assumptions.** Say the unstated premise out loud and put it to them: "this only works if X is true — is it?" Cross-check claims against the code; when they contradict, name the contradiction and force a choice.

 # Cross-AI plan review
 
-Get a second opinion on a `build` PLAN from **independent external AI CLIs** before executing — it catches blind spots a single model shares with itself. Gated by `config.plan_review` (default `off`, since it needs external CLIs installed).
+Get a second opinion on a `build` PLAN from **independent external AI CLIs** before executing: it catches blind spots a single model shares with itself. Gated by `config.plan_review` (default `off`, since it needs external CLIs installed).
 
 When enabled, run this after the PLAN is drafted and before Execute:
 
-1. **Detect reviewers.** `command -v` for external AI CLIs on the PATH — `gemini`, `codex`, `qwen`, `opencode`, `cursor-agent`, `coderabbit` (and any OpenAI-compatible local server you've configured). If `config.plan_review` names specific ones, use only those. **Skip any reviewer that resolves to the same model as the session running trailhead** — a same-model review isn't *cross-AI*, so it adds no independent perspective (e.g. drop the `claude` CLI when trailhead itself runs on Claude). Match by underlying model, not just CLI name; keeping such a CLI in `config.plan_review` is harmless — the skip happens here, at execution, so the config stays valid if the session model later changes. **If no independent reviewer remains, note it in the PLAN comment and skip — never fail the build over a missing reviewer.**
+1. **Detect reviewers.** The candidate set is `config.plan_review` **when it names specific CLIs** (e.g. `codex` → only codex), otherwise the default roster: `gemini`, `codex`, `qwen`, `kimi`, `agy` (Antigravity), `opencode`, `cursor-agent`, `coderabbit` (and any OpenAI-compatible local server you've configured). `command -v` **only the candidates** on the PATH (the binary name, not the slug: `agy` for Antigravity, `cursor-agent` for cursor); don't probe (or mention) CLIs the config didn't ask for; with a specific list, a name not on that list is simply not in play. **`kimi` needs more than existence:** the `kimi` binary is claimed by both the Kimi Code CLI and the legacy Python `kimi-cli`, which take different headless flags, so confirm it's Kimi Code by checking `kimi --help` mentions `--output-format` before counting it in. **Skip any reviewer that resolves to the same model as the session running trailhead**: a same-model review isn't *cross-AI*, so it adds no independent perspective (e.g. drop the `claude` CLI when trailhead itself runs on Claude). Match by underlying model, not just CLI name; keeping such a CLI in `config.plan_review` is harmless: the skip happens here, at execution, so the config stays valid if the session model later changes. **If no independent reviewer remains, note it in the PLAN comment and skip; never fail the build over a missing reviewer.**
 
-2. **Send the same brief to each reviewer.** Give every CLI the ticket's `## Question`, the drafted PLAN, and the map's relevant Notes/decisions. Ask for a short list of concerns — *risks, missing steps, wrong assumptions, simpler alternatives* — each tagged **blocking** or **non-blocking**. Invoke each CLI **headless / non-interactive** and time-box the call (~60s): e.g. `gemini -p "<prompt>"`, `codex exec "<prompt>"`, `qwen -p "<prompt>"`. Verify each tool's actual headless flag; on error or timeout, drop that reviewer and continue.
+2. **Send the same brief to each reviewer.** Give every CLI the ticket's `## Question`, the drafted PLAN, and the map's relevant Notes/decisions in a **self-contained prompt**, so the reviewer needn't explore the repo. Ask for a short list of concerns (*risks, missing steps, wrong assumptions, simpler alternatives*) each tagged **blocking** or **non-blocking**.
+
+   Invoke each CLI **headless, in a fast read-only posture, with a generous timeout**. These are full agentic CLIs (startup, sandbox, reasoning), so a tight ~60s wall-clock is the usual cause of a "timed out" review, not a stuck reviewer. Two levers, both needed:
+   - **Fast posture.** Make the call quick and non-interactive so it can't stall on an approval prompt or a heavy reasoning pass. For **codex**: `codex exec -s read-only -c model_reasoning_effort=low "<prompt>"` (read-only = nothing to approve; low effort = quick), or a preconfigured profile with `-p <profile>`. For **gemini**: `gemini -p "<prompt>"`; **qwen**: `qwen -p "<prompt>"`; **kimi** (Kimi Code): `kimi -p "<prompt>"` (`-m <model>`); **agy** (Antigravity): `agy --print-timeout 540s -p "<prompt>"` (it runs long, so give it a wide timeout floor). Verify each tool's exact headless flag and config key for your version.
+   - **Generous timeout, set explicitly, from the first call.** These calls routinely run **several minutes**, and this harness's Bash tool **defaults to a ~2-minute cap that silently cuts them**: that default is the usual cause of a "timed out" review, not a stuck reviewer. So on **every** reviewer call, from the **first** attempt (never after a first timeout), do one of:
+     - set the Bash tool's **`timeout` parameter to its maximum** (`600000` ms = 10 min), or
+     - launch the call with **`run_in_background: true`** and collect its output when it finishes (**preferred when you fan several reviewers out at once**, so they run in parallel instead of serially eating the wall-clock).
+     Never rely on the default 2-minute timeout for these calls. **One retry:** if a call still times out at the wide margin, retry once; only on a second timeout or a hard error do you **drop** that reviewer and continue. A slow reviewer must never wedge or fail the build.
+
+   (**Durable fix:** pin each reviewer CLI to a fast "passive posture" once, in the CLI's own config, e.g. codex's `~/.codex/config.toml` model + reasoning effort, so every review call is quick by default. Setting such a profile once is the durable fix; the inline flags above are the per-call equivalent. Even so, **still set the explicit long timeout**: the fast posture makes a call *quicker*, the timeout keeps a still-slow one from being *cut*. They are complementary, not alternatives.)
 
 3. **Converge.** Collect the concerns. The planner (on `config.models.plan`) revises the PLAN to resolve every **blocking** concern and weighs the non-blocking ones. If the plan changed materially, re-review; loop up to `config.plan_review.rounds` (default 2). Stop when no blocking concerns remain, or the rounds are exhausted.
 
-4. **Record and decide.** Post the final PLAN plus a short **`PLAN-REVIEW`** comment: who reviewed, the concerns raised, and how each was resolved or consciously deferred. If **blocking concerns survive** the last round, surface them to the user and let them decide — do not silently proceed.

+- "Does this logic / state model feel right?" → a single shareable HTML file, the question stated in a visible intro. **Isolate the answering logic in a pure, liftable module** (a reducer, a state machine, or plain functions, no DOM) chosen by the question; the page is a thin shell over it, and free-play controls plus tabbed guided walkthroughs (each resetting to a known state) push it through the cases hard to reason about on paper. Keeping the logic pure is what lets the validated module lift straight into real code; drivable by a non-developer.

Throwaway from day one and clearly labelled as such, sited next to the code it prototypes, trivial to run (one command or a double-clickable file). No persistence by default — surface the full relevant state after every action so the change is visible. Fold only the validated decision into real code — never let a prototype silently graduate into production.

 **For UI tickets specifically:** before writing any real UI code, **ask the user whether they want mockups first** (default yes for a new screen). If yes, route by `config.design` (see [Configuration](#configuration)):
-- **`disk` (default)** — a throwaway static HTML mockup next to the code, linked from the ticket as an asset (on a throwaway branch, out of main). Fast, self-contained.
-- **`claude.ai/design` mode** — build the mockup in a Claude Design project so the user can edit it visually. On the **first** UI screen for this map, **ask whether to create a new project**; on yes, create it yourself via Claude Code's built-in **`design` skill** (a Claude Design canvas → Artifact) or the **`claude_design` MCP** (`/design-login`; project at `claude.ai/design/p/<id>`), then cache its URL in the map's `## Config` under `design.project`. **Later screens reuse** that project (add an artboard). Link it back from the ticket. This path is Claude-integrated, not a trailhead dependency — verify the design skill/MCP is enabled for the account; if it isn't, fall back to `disk` and say so.
+- **`disk` (default)**: a throwaway static HTML mockup next to the code, linked from the ticket as an asset (on a throwaway branch, out of main). Fast, self-contained.
+- **`claude.ai/design` mode**: push the mockup to a **design-system project** on claude.ai/design via the **`/design-sync` skill + `claude_design` MCP (DesignSync)**, where the user edits it visually. On the **first** UI screen for this map, ask the user which design-system project to attach to. Three paths: (a) **pick an existing one**, listing the **10 most-recently-updated** design systems from DesignSync `list_projects` (sorted `updatedAt` desc) to choose from; (b) **paste a URL**, taking the projectId from a `claude.ai/design/p/<id>` link and confirming with `get_project` that it's a `PROJECT_TYPE_DESIGN_SYSTEM`; (c) **create a new one**, asking the user first for its name (don't invent it), then `create_project`. **Cache the chosen projectId in the project `.trailhead/config.json` under `design.project`**. **Later screens reuse** it (push another component/preview under the same `planId` flow: `finalize_plan` → `write_files`). **Link the specific screen** back from the ticket: its own claude.ai/design URL (`claude.ai/design/p/<projectId>/…`), not merely the project. **DesignSync only targets `PROJECT_TYPE_DESIGN_SYSTEM` projects**: verify with `get_project` before pushing; a regular `PROJECT_TYPE_PROJECT` (or any project not in `list_projects`) **cannot** be driven by the MCP, so for one of those the user drives it by hand: produce the mockup and hand it over, or fall back to `disk`. This path needs the account's claude.ai design login (`/design-login` when the session has none); if it's unavailable, fall back to `disk` and say so.
 
 Either way the rough screen is **reacted to before real UI code**. How approval gates the build depends on `config.design.approval`:
-- **`explicit` (default)** — surface the mockup and **wait for the user's clear go-ahead**; do not write UI code until they approve. Record the approval on the ticket, then proceed.
-- **`auto`** — surface the mockup and **proceed without blocking** on a confirmation (the user can still object). Record the direction on the ticket.
+- **`explicit` (default)**: surface the mockup and **wait for the user's clear go-ahead**; do not write UI code until they approve. Record the approval on the ticket, then proceed.
+- **`auto`**: surface the mockup and **proceed without blocking** on a confirmation (the user can still object). Record the direction on the ticket.
+
+**In `claude.ai/design` mode, re-fetch the design before you build on it.** Between surfacing the mockup and writing the UI code the user may have edited it directly on claude.ai/design, so once it's approved (or, in `auto`, right before you consume it), pull the **current** state from the project (`list_files` → `get_file`) and build from *that*, never from the version you last pushed. Note on the ticket that the design was re-fetched at that point.
