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**.

First run a read-only, best-effort **assigned-ticket pre-check** to inform (never decide) the ask: `gh issue list --assignee @me --state open --json number,title,body`, then drop the current ticket's own number from the result (the claim precedes this resolution, so the current ticket is already assigned to `@me`, and must be excluded or the pre-check always sees a false "other"); on any `gh` error skip the pre-check and put the ask neutrally rather than failing the work. An assigned ticket is a **heuristic** for concurrent work, never proof (it may be a live parallel session or a parked/paused claim). **0 other assigned tickets**: put the ask neutrally, as below. **One or more other open assigned tickets**: **pre-bias** the ask, name the already-assigned ticket(s) and default the answer toward *yes* (`worktree`/`clone`), but **still ask**, with an easy neutral/no; a ticket whose `Scope:` is absent is presented as *overlap unknown*, never as evidence of safe concurrency. **Skip the ask entirely only in the one unambiguous, self-referential case**: the session is already inside **this** ticket's linked worktree, that is all of (a) `git rev-parse --git-common-dir` differs from `git rev-parse --git-dir` (a linked worktree), (b) the checked-out branch is exactly `trailhead/t<N>` with `N` equal to the current ticket number, and (c) the working-root `.trailhead/session-ticket` marker names the current ticket; then isolation is already this ticket's operating mode, so resolve to that worktree and announce it without asking. A per-ticket **clone** is deliberately **not** a skip trigger (no reliable read-only predicate separates a dedicated clone from the primary checkout switched onto a `trailhead/t<n>` branch), so it takes the pre-bias-and-ask path. This pre-check is read-only and changes no `worktree`/`clone` mechanic, and **scope overlap with another in-progress ticket is out of its remit** (the existing serialise / undeclared-coupling handling owns that). **Remembered answer (reuse).** After the self-referential skip (which keeps precedence and never reads or writes the record), and using the pre-check's list of other assigned tickets as the fingerprint, run `node <templates>/trailhead-isolation-answer.js check --repo <project root> --others <csv|none|unavailable>` from the checkout the session started in, before any workspace is set up (`<csv>` the other assigned ticket numbers, `none` when there are none, `unavailable` when the pre-check failed, which always re-asks). It prints one JSON line. On `status: reuse`, print one line naming the reused answer (e.g. "Isolation: reusing this session's answer (one ticket at a time); say so to change it" for `no`, "(several tickets at once, isolated workspace)" for `yes`) and resolve exactly as that answer would, without asking. On `status: ask` (reason `absent`, `expired`, `claims-changed`, `invalid` or `unavailable`) or `status: skipped` (an I/O error: treated as ask), do the pre-bias and the ask below, and **only after the user answers** run `node <templates>/trailhead-isolation-answer.js record --repo <project root> --answer yes|no --others <csv|none>`, which replaces the previous record. The record is the gitignored `.trailhead/isolation-answer.json` at the project root (add it to that repo's `.gitignore` if absent, like the session-ticket marker; inside a linked worktree the helper resolves to the main checkout, so every worktree reads the same record). A *session* here is a working stretch on this machine, not a conversation (a conversation holds one ticket, `/clear` between tickets): it lasts while work-starts keep coming and ends after **8 hours** without one (a sliding idle window; each reuse refreshes it). The answer is reused only while the live claims are unchanged: the same set of other assigned tickets (a parallel claim appearing, a paused claim lingering or a claim released all re-ask). A user who says to change the answer is re-asked and recorded. `<templates>` is found with the same three-dir lookup as `trailhead-work-state.js` (see **Work state file**); a missing helper or a non-zero exit means ask as before, silently. `/trailhead:auto` and an explicit `none`/`worktree`/`clone` never read or write the record. Ask once whether more than one ticket will be worked at once on this machine this session (this **is** the `clone` gate below, generalised to the whole mode, so a `clone` resolution never re-asks). **No** (a lone ticket): work in the current checkout, exactly like `none`. **Yes**: resolve by repo shape, a plain repo -> `worktree`, a **superrepo** (a `.gitmodules` at the checkout root that declares at least one submodule; equivalently `git submodule status` lists one) -> `clone` (the superproject clone + submodule provisioning below). Because trailhead resolves **one ticket per session**, the ask fires at most once per ticket work-start, and a remembered answer (above) may suppress even that while the claims are unchanged within the 8-hour idle window; the autonomous run (`/trailhead:auto`) **never asks** and never runs the pre-check

- **`none`**: 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>` on a `trailhead/t<n>` branch (for a submodule-bearing superrepo the clone is of the **superproject** with `--recurse-submodules`, never the submodule alone, so the gitlink bump has a home and each ticket gets independent submodule state; see **Git submodules force `clone`** below). 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**:

|
- **a folder copy that brings `node_modules`** (`cp -r` the repo or superproject, submodule working trees included) 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 every submodule (nested included)**: each must resolve **inside the copy's own tree**, not the original or another ticket's copy. If any points outside, re-point it, or use the `git clone` route and copy only `node_modules` across.

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).

**Keeping the guard current (migration).** The guard filters at **job level** (`jobs.guard.if`: a `trailhead:` label, a sender other than the repo owner, not in `TRAILHEAD_LABEL_ALLOWLIST`), because a skipped job is not billed while a job that starts and returns early from its script costs at least one Actions minute; the in-script permission check stays the real defence. Guards installed before 0.12.1 lack that `if:` and start a runner on **every** label event, which with trailhead labelling all the time runs into thousands of billed runs a month. So whenever the guard is present (every chart/adopt, and after `/trailhead:update`), run `node <templates>/trailhead-label-guard-sync.js --repo <working-root>` (same `<templates>` lookup as the commit-msg sync script below). It prints one JSON status line: `current` (nothing to do), `outdated` (offer the upgrade and always explain why in the question, in plain words: today every label added to an issue starts a run billed at least one minute even when it does nothing, trailhead labels constantly so that adds up to thousands of billed runs a month and can exhaust the Actions minutes, and the updated guard skips irrelevant events before a runner starts with the same protection), `custom` (has the job-level filter but differs from the template: leave it, mention it only if asked), `foreign` (not a trailhead workflow: never touched), `absent` (install as above). On go-ahead for `outdated`, re-run it with `--apply` (it rewrites the file from the template in the working tree only, never a foreign or customised guard), then commit it (`fix: skip trailhead label guard job for irrelevant label events`) and push, with the same `workflow`-scope caveat. The SessionStart hook (or, on a host with no hook bus, the load-first check) also runs it with `--notice` at every session start and surfaces the same upgrade offer until the user answers it; `--ack` records the answer in the gitignored `.trailhead/label-guard-ack` (the guard's hash), so a declined offer comes back only if the file changes. If the script is missing (an outdated install), fall back to reading the file and checking `jobs.guard` for an `if:` containing `startsWith(github.event.label.name, 'trailhead:')`.

It prints one JSON status line and handles every case itself: absent -> installs it; an older trailhead hook (the legacy single-file JS hook, or an outdated wrapper or logic file; recognised by its own header line, not by trusting the filename) -> upgraded in place to the current layout; already current -> left alone; a foreign (non-trailhead) hook -> never touched, only reported (offer to chain it); under a repo's `core.hooksPath`, an existing trailhead hook there is still upgraded in place, but nothing is newly added to that directory. Unlike the label guard, `.git/hooks/` is not version-controlled, so this is a per-clone local install with nothing to commit. **If the sync script is missing (none of the three dirs has it: an outdated install) or node errors, never claim git enforces nothing before looking**: resolve the effective hooks dir with `git -C <working-root> rev-parse --git-path hooks` (resolve a relative output against the working root; it honours `core.hooksPath` and the git common dir shared by linked worktrees), read `<hooks dir>/commit-msg`, and classify it by its header line (a trailhead hook has `# trailhead commit-msg hook (git).` (the `sh` wrapper) or, for the legacy single-file JS hook, `// trailhead commit-msg hook (git).` among its first 5 lines, trimmed; never trust the filename alone; a symlinked `commit-msg` counts as foreign, as the script treats it). The wrapper also needs `<hooks dir>/trailhead-commit-msg.cjs` beside it: without it the wrapper lets every commit through, so treat a missing `.cjs` (or a legacy JS hook, which breaks in `"type": "module"` repos) as present-but-stale: suggest updating the install so the sync script can repair it. Report one result-oriented line: (a) trailhead hook present and executable (`test -x`): git does enforce trailhead's rules here (provided node is on the PATH git runs with; a GUI git client may lack it, and then the wrapper prints the inactive notice on each commit), but its freshness could not be checked or upgraded, so suggest updating the trailhead install; a trailhead hook that is NOT executable: git skips it, so it does not enforce trailhead's rules here (suggest updating the install so the sync script can fix the mode); (b) a foreign hook (or a symlink): left untouched, git does not enforce trailhead's rules here; (c) no hook: git does not enforce trailhead's rules here (suggest updating the install so the sync script can install it). Never blocks the work.

During an autonomous run every `set` adds `--auto true --auto-done <n>`, `n` being the tickets resolved so far in this run. The step-to-state mapping per ticket type lives in `trailhead-work/references/ticket-engines.md`. A missing helper or a non-zero exit is silent and never blocks the work (no user-facing line).

- **`auto` takes this ask as the delegate option without the confirm gate** (per `../choices.md`): AI-driven when any step is agent-performable; the agent-performable steps run and are recorded in `VERIFY`, and the human-only steps (or the whole UAT, when no step is performable) go to a UAT follow-up opened before the parent closes, found first with `node <templates>/trailhead-uat-followup.js find --parent <n> --repo <owner/name>` so a resume reuses an open one and opens no duplicate; they are never faked, and `auto` never picks skip.

Prefer this over asking the human when the flow is scriptable. Never trigger native/JS dialogs that would wedge the session.

- **Auto mode resolves the URL before falling back.** Under `acceptance.browser: auto`/`on`, when `testing.webapp` is set but `testing.url` is not, do not drop straight to asking: first try to determine the target URL from the project. Probe, cheapest first, a dev server already running (the likely local ports, or a server log / PID the project writes), package scripts (`dev`/`start`/`preview` in `package.json` or the project's task runner), dev-server and framework config (the configured host/port in e.g. Vite/Next/Astro/Expo config), and project config. When one is found, **propose it** ("acceptance will run against `http://localhost:5173`, correct?") for the user to accept or correct, then drive the browser against the accepted URL. Only when no URL can be determined fall back to asking the human, or to the guided UAT below.

- **Human-driven, or an AI-driven step that isn't performable → guided UAT is MANDATORY, and it is CONVERSATIONAL.** This is the human-driven mode from the drive-mode ask above, and it is also what an AI-driven run falls back to for the specific step(s) it cannot perform: when `config.acceptance.browser` is `off`, or no target URL could be determined (the auto attempt above included), or the target can't be driven this session (a device or hardware the session cannot reach, real credentials it does not hold; a mobile/native app or a TV on a connected device or emulator *is* drivable, per the AI-driven rule above), **`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 the human can only run it later** (on-device, hardware you don't have right now), record the full numbered checklist in part 3 of 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.

The human picked skip at the drive-mode ask and forwent acceptance, recorded as unconfirmed in `VERIFY`, so nothing is owed and nothing is opened.

Route it the way `../choices.md` routes a deferred choice: a **`trailhead:seed`** (kept blocked) when the run is gated on a future external trigger not yet true (hardware you don't have, a device out of reach), or a follow-up **`task`** on the frontier when it's just scheduled or batched work you could pick up any time. Either way the follow-up **carries the full numbered checklist and, when it comes to resolution, opens with the drive-mode ask above before running the guided conversational walkthrough**, never a self-serve check-off. **Never close a user-facing ticket on a chosen-deferred UAT with nothing opened**: the parent may close as agreed, but the owed UAT stays visible on the tracker as its own ticket, linked to the parent, until it is actually performed. The pending check must be visible on the tracker, not buried.

**Mockup-fidelity check (when the ticket had an approved mockup).** If the change was preceded by an approved mockup (the **Prototype** technique produced one and it was approved and recorded at Execute), acceptance testing MUST check the built screen **against that approved mockup**, not merely against "what the user wanted" in the abstract. Pull the mockup's current state to compare against (re-fetch it in `artifacts` / `stitch` mode via the technique's re-fetch rule, or open the linked `disk` mockup); never compare from memory. Walk it **element by element and state by state**, layout, spacing, sizing, colour, typography, copy, and every state it shows (empty, loading, error, hover, active, disabled, and the like), enumerating from the approved mockup itself (the spec) and cross-checking the executor's recorded Execute-step fidelity list and any element it flagged infeasible, and confirm each is reproduced. Record the per-element and per-state result in the `VERIFY` comment. Any **unforced** deviation is an acceptance finding, never waved through as "close enough"; a genuinely infeasible part must already have been raised with the user at Execute (per the Prototype technique), not surface here as a silent drift.

Classify each finding: **Critical** (bug/security/breaks the spec) → **Warning** (should fix) → **Info** (judgement call). Before reporting ANY finding, **verify it adversarially**: re-read the actual code, confirm the failing path is reachable and the claim holds. Discard plausible-but-wrong findings; an unverified finding is worse than none. Quote the offending hunk (and the standard/spec line) per finding. **Stable finding IDs**: each verified finding gets an ID the first time it's reported, `C1`, `W1`, `I1`, ..., by severity, numbered in discovery order, and keeps that ID across every round of the fix-and-re-review loop below; a re-review that finds the same issue still open reuses its ID, a genuinely new finding takes the next number in its severity. An ID's severity is fixed at first report: if a re-review reclassifies a finding to a different severity, mark the old ID `reclassified as <new ID>` in the ledger and continue the finding under a new ID of the new severity; a `reclassified` line is a pointer, not a disposition, and is left out of the counts, so the finding counts once, under its current severity. Return the report (the agent never posts it; the orchestrator posts it as the `VERIFY` comment after the report-status check), **led by a machine-checkable status tag on its own first line**: `status: clean` when no **Critical** finding remains (nothing blocks Resolve), or `status: issues_found` when one or more Criticals are still open (the caller must iterate the fix-and-re-review loop below, or run the HITL checkpoint, before resolving). Warnings/Info alone leave the tag `status: clean`, since they don't gate resolution. Emit that line verbatim as the report's first line.

**Converge on the blockers with a bounded budget and an explicit boundary.** A **Critical** finding is *blocking*: it must be fixed before Resolve. Fixing one can introduce or reveal another, so the review is a **loop, not a single pass**: fix every Critical, then re-review the recomputed **Ticket diff** set, up to `config.code_review.rounds` (default 2) fix-and-re-review rounds. Stop when no Critical remains, then Resolve, giving each remaining Warning/Info its disposition in the ledger. **If the rounds are exhausted with Critical findings still open**, never resolve silently and never silently keep going: surface an explicit HITL checkpoint in the chat, **name each surviving blocker**, and put the choice to the user, (a) **run another 2 review rounds** on the remaining blockers (the point of this ask), or (b) **proceed with the blockers recorded** (each surviving Critical is recorded in the ledger as `deferred` or `accepted`), or (c) **run until it converges** (keep the fix + re-review loop going with no round cap, stopping only when no Critical remains; as a guard against an endless loop, if a round makes no progress, i.e. the same Critical findings come back unfixed, stop and bring the choice back to this checkpoint, naming them). **Wait for their pick; never auto-advance in either direction over open blocking findings.** (This mirrors **Cross-AI plan review**'s boundary ask: see `plan-review.md` step 4.)

Depth on the current thread is seductive, but the tree only ever grows the questions you actually raise, so an area you never name never enters it and stays silently missing.

For each option say what it is, what it optimizes for, and what it sacrifices; for a choice spanning several dimensions, lay the options out side by side (a comparison table or widget) as the natural default, rather than listing A/B/C inline in the question and waiting for the user to request the detail. But when the human signals they want to explain in their own words, drop the options and let them; resume structured questions after.

- **Holistic review before the final confirmation.** Once the frontier is empty and before the final confirmation, re-read all settled choices as a whole, against each other and against the destination (or the ticket's goal), because answers taken one at a time can fit badly together. Report (a) the proposed amendments: what you would change in the set where choices do not fit together; and (b) the non-working combinations: contradictions, gaps, choices that break each other or the destination. Each item names the choice(s) it touches by question number. **Nothing found:** say so in one line and go straight to the confirmation. **Otherwise** ask the human to accept, amend or reject: accept applies the proposed amendments; amend lets them rewrite an item or pick among them (mixed per-item answers go here); reject keeps the choices as they were. Whatever the answer, every non-working combination still standing afterwards (not resolved by the applied amendments, or rejected) is recorded with the set as a consciously accepted risk, never silently dropped. An applied amendment is re-confirmed in one play-back; it reopens that branch (the grill resumes from there) only when it undoes the rationale the branch was settled on, and then the review runs again on the new set, at most once more: whatever that second review still finds is put to the human the same way, and anything left standing is recorded as accepted risk, with no third pass. Only then is the final set played back, confirmed and recorded. **Format:** a forced choice of 3 real options, so an `AskUserQuestion` menu per the "Which format" rule in `../choices.md` (a numbered list on a host without one), without the delegate option (the set is the human's) and without defer; the grilled questions themselves stay conversational prose. A single isolated choice still runs it (usually the one-line nothing found).

If the plan changed materially, re-review; loop up to `config.plan_review.rounds` (default 2), or, under an autonomous run, up to the run's start-up choice (see `trailhead-work/references/auto.md`, which overrides the key for that run). After each round, write the blocking concerns still open to the ticket's history file (a JSON array, one entry per round, each concern `{"key","text"}` with a short stable `key` reused across rounds; keep it in a private `mktemp -d` directory for the plan step) and call `node <templates>/trailhead-plan-review-rounds.js round --choice <config|1|2|3|until> --configured <n> --history <file>`; the orchestrator follows its decision: `converged` stops clean, `continue` revises and re-reviews, and `exhausted`, `no-progress` or `ceiling` stop with blocking concerns surviving (`surviving` carries their full text).

Every claim listed in the body is one line carrying its class as `class: met | unmet | partial | inconclusive` (an inconclusive one also its one `reason:`), and a `met` report lists no `unmet`, `partial` or `inconclusive` claim: the report-status check raises a leading tag that contradicts the listed classes to the highest class by the precedence above (fail closed).

**Routing.** On `gaps_found` the engine loops back to Execute/Fix for the gap, or runs the HITL checkpoint, before Resolve; it never resolves over an unmet goal silently. When the **leading** tag is `inconclusive` (every gap already cleared, so no `gaps_found` outranks it), the goal is **unevaluated, not satisfied**: it is a **blocking gate too** and is never auto-resolved over. (While `gaps_found` still leads, the Fix loop runs first per Mixed states above; the inconclusive claims only reach this checkpoint once no gap remains.) Because nothing changes between runs of a read-only check, there is **no auto-retry**; go straight to the HITL checkpoint, framed per reason-class (reusing the shared checkpoint mechanics in `code-review.md`: name each surviving blocker, put the choice to the user, never auto-advance):

**Malformed review report (every engine-agent report).** The leading `status:` line, and the fields each report must carry, are machine-checked before the engine branches on them. This MUST run on every Code review and Goal-backward verification report and on every plan, executor, fix, debug, research and codebase-map report, whether it came from the subagent, an inline pass, or the lean inline pass; the report-status checker is `trailhead-report-status.js`, one JSON line `{"action","verdict","problem","report","fields","body"}` with `action` one of `accept` / `normalise` / `reask`. The return contract of each family (statuses, required fields, invariants) is stated once in the agents' `Return contract` blocks; the checker enforces it.

Return the complete report again with its first line exactly `status: <token>`, where `<token>` is one of `<allowed tokens>`, and no other `status:` line<for code-review: , and its second line exactly `critical: <n> · warning: <n> · info: <n>`><for fields: , with each of `<required fields>` as a top-level `<label>:` line and `<the broken invariant>` holding, with nothing after the last field>.

Resolve the origin to an issue number first (a number, `#n` or URL parses directly; a name is resolved by a title search, `gh issue list --state all --search "<name> in:title"`, asking the user when it matches none or several), then read its labels: `gh issue view <origin> --json labels,title`. If the origin carries exactly one `trailhead:map-<n>`, check that map's state, `gh issue view <n> --json state,title`: **open** -> land on map `<n>` (its label + native sub-issue edge + `Parent:`), no ask; **closed** -> fall back. If it carries `trailhead:whiteboard` (and no map label), land on the whiteboard, no ask (dashboard refresh as for any whiteboard capture). Fall back to the existing Map or whiteboard rule (ask when a map is open, whiteboard when none) when the origin map is closed, when the origin carries neither label (a pre-whiteboard ticket, a map, a non-trailhead issue), when the labels are contradictory (both whiteboard and a map label, or several map labels), or when any lookup fails; never guess between conflicting labels. **Confirmation line** on an inheriting capture: name the destination as inherited from the origin, the map by name and number (or the whiteboard), and the origin by name and number; on a fallback say nothing about inheritance. **Don't derail**: capture and continue; you resolve it in a dedicated session.

Detect it with `gh repo view`: on success a GitHub repo with a remote is present, so say nothing and proceed.

Charting continues only once a GitHub repo is in place: every step below writes to its Issues. If the user declines to create one, there is nowhere to chart, so stop and say so.

Distil into the issue (header + prose); link it from the map's Notes. Don't invent: leave out or ask what you can't determine. If one already exists, just link it (reuse across maps). Finally, **ensure the repo's `trailhead:dashboard` index issue exists** (see **The dashboard**): create and pin it if missing (the fixed 3rd pinned slot, alongside codebase + conventions), then **write it to list this map** (charting a map is a structural event); if it already exists, refresh it.

Wiring sorts them into frontier (unblocked) and blocked; the rest stays fog.

3. **Create the map** (`trailhead:map`), after the **Holistic review before the final confirmation** of the Grilling technique has run on the step 1 destination and the step 2 choices together: Destination and Notes filled in, Decisions-so-far empty, the fog sketched into *Not yet specified*. **Every functional area enumerated in step 2 must appear here, as a fog entry or a ticket, before moving on: the map is the coverage deliverable.** Run the **first-use repo setup** (see **Substrate** → `../../_shared/substrate-commands.md`) now: labels **and** the label-guard check/install. Once the map issue has its number `<n>`, **create its per-map label `trailhead:map-<n>`** (every ticket of this map carries it and is a native sub-issue of the map; the map issue itself is found by its number, so it does **not** carry the label; see **Multiple maps on one repo**). **If this repo already has another open `trailhead:map`**, tell the user the new map runs concurrently (its own scoped frontier) and set it as the active map (`.trailhead/active-map`). Then set up **conventions**: if no `trailhead:conventions` issue exists (singleton lookup: see **Singletons** in `../../_shared/substrate.md`), run a **brief conventions brainstorming** (breadth-first, in the spirit of grilling but short: a handful of questions, not a full session) to surface the project's way of working: `git:` `main`|`pr`, `release:` `command`|`auto`, and `isolation:` `auto`|`none`|`worktree`|`clone` (default **`auto`**, which decides per ticket at work-start by asking *"will more than one ticket be worked at once on this machine this session?"* and picking `worktree` for a plain repo or `clone` for a submodule superrepo; a project can force `none`/`worktree`/`clone` explicitly), **plus** the narrative a new contributor would need: release/deploy specifics (environments, manual steps, OTA vs full build, versioning), tooling that must be driven a certain way (a specific MCP/CLI, e.g. a Lovable project piloted via its MCP), code & style rules, testing/UAT norms. Distil into the issue (header + prose); link it from the map's Notes. Don't invent: leave out or ask what you can't determine. If one already exists, just link it (reuse across maps). Finally, **ensure the repo's `trailhead:dashboard` index issue exists** (see **The dashboard**): create and pin it if missing (the fixed 3rd pinned slot, alongside codebase + conventions), then **write it to list this map** (charting a map is a structural event); if it already exists, refresh it.

4. **Create the tickets you can specify now** (the **Ticket or fog** test below) as child issues (each with `trailhead:ticket` + its type + this map's `trailhead:map-<n>` label, **plus `trailhead:blocked` when the mapped dependency graph already shows it has a blocker**, and set as a **native sub-issue** of the map, see **Child→map link** under Substrate), then wire the blocking in a **second pass** (issues need ids before they can reference each other): for each ticket **read its Question and wire a blocker for every still-open ticket whose output it consumes** (don't stop at the first/obvious one) by wiring its `## Blocked by` line + native dependency together (moves 1-2 of the three-move wiring; the `trailhead:blocked` label, move 3, already rode in at creation, see **Substrate**). **Set the blocked label at creation, not via a post-creation `--add-label` pass:** a bulk `--add-label` burst spawns one repo-side label-guard run per ticket and reddens the Actions history with sheddable no-op runs; riding the label in the ticket's `issues.opened` event avoids that entirely. Wiring sorts them into frontier (unblocked) and blocked; the rest stays fog. **Ticket or fog.** Run it on every area from step 2: "specify now" means you can write the area's `## Question` now, sized to one session, not that it can be answered now. An area whose Question you can write is a ticket, created already blocked (`trailhead:blocked` plus its wiring) on the tickets whose answers it needs: being blocked is not a reason to leave it in the fog, because a blocked ticket graduates onto the frontier by itself when its blockers close, while a fog entry waits for someone to dissolve it. An area stays fog only when you **cannot phrase** its Question yet (you don't know what to ask: "Monetization" before the audience is known), or when an open decision could **reshape** the question itself (not just its answer), in which case the fog entry names that decision so it is re-examined when that decision closes. An area too big for one session is several tickets, or one ticket plus fog for the rest. Volume is not a reason to keep an area in the fog: the only brake is GitHub's 100 sub-issue cap per map, and near it, say so and keep the furthest-out areas as fog.

5. **Fire the research subagents.** For each `research` ticket created, run the **Research** technique in parallel; each agent returns its report, and the orchestrator posts it on the ticket as a `RESEARCH` comment (no branch: the report is the artifact; see the technique for the `found` / `inconclusive` / `needs_input` branches).

6. **Offer config, then stop.** Charting is one session's work; it hand-resolves nothing. Before ending, make the **first-time config offer** (see **First-time config offer** in `../SKILL.md`): the project now has a fresh map and no `.trailhead/config.json`, so put the **two-way choice** to the user, **accept as-is** (writes `{}`) or **run `/trailhead:config`** for the guided menu, and let them pick. Name both paths; don't pre-fill the config keys and ask for an inline edit, and don't interview them key-by-key here (that's `/trailhead:config`'s job). Once the file exists it's never offered again. **No `trailhead:codebase` issue is created here**: greenfield has no code to map yet. It's created later, once the repo has substantial code (see Mode 2 step 1 and the **Codebase** row under Substrate), so at chart two of the three permanent pins (the dashboard + conventions) are filled and the codebase slot fills in later. Maps are never pinned.

Worktree is for units that build from any path. Propose the values you inferred and let the human correct/complete them; create the issue if absent, link it from the map's Notes.

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 (see `../../_shared/out-of-scope.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**.

For each issue in the first two sections (incoming issues, parked fog), propose a disposition (one of the moves below, with a one-line why) and put them to the user as one list, which they confirm, or amend item by item, before anything is written: every move labels, comments on or closes an issue someone else opened, and an out-of-scope ruling is the human's (`../../_shared/choices.md`). Act only on the user's explicit yes; never close or comment on an issue on your own judgement, and silence or an ambiguous reply leaves it untouched. The moves:

- **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.

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.

A missing one is **not implemented**; an unclear one is unverifiable. There is no code check.

A `Builds: none (<why>)` line passes. A decision with neither is flagged **no build**: its answer was recorded but no ticket carries the work. The flag sits outside the class sum (the decision itself may still be implemented by the light check) and changes nothing until a proposal is accepted.

Then close the newer one natively as a duplicate of the kept one, `gh issue close <n> --duplicate-of <k>` (this sets the `DUPLICATE` state reason the window filter reads), plus a comment naming the kept ticket. If the duplicate was one of the kept ticket's blockers, that edge is removed (the native edge auto-reflects the close; also drop it from the `## Blocked by` line) instead of transferred, and the kept ticket's `trailhead:blocked` label is re-evaluated only after the duplicate's blockers have been added to it: drop `trailhead:blocked` if that was its last open blocker. Its native sub-issue edge stays: the eager drop is reserved to superseded and out-of-scope closes, and `/trailhead:prune` reclaims closed edges under cap pressure.

Every dependent of an original **outside the group** is re-pointed onto the merged ticket in all three views (body line edited, native edge added to the merged ticket; the original's edge reflects its close on its own). Intra-group edges are dropped, never re-pointed, so the merged ticket never blocks on, or depends on, itself. The merged ticket's body carries a `Merged from: <name+link>, ...` provenance line (mirroring split's `Split from:`). Then close each original as `trailhead:superseded` with the eager edge drop and a closing comment linking the merged ticket.

- **Out of scope**: what's been ruled out; **flag as an advisory** any line that's actually **deferred** rather than truly beyond the destination (the tells: a gate/trigger, a this-only qualifier, a feature wanted later, or the gate of a live `trailhead:seed`; see `../_shared/out-of-scope.md`), unless it's already parked (`→ future map` with dependent seeds on a live trigger, in which case say nothing). **Name any un-parked ones and suggest `/trailhead:inbox` to re-route them** (seed/idea/todo).

- **Inbox**: a count of untriaged inbound issues, as a nudge.

- **Open across the repo**: one line, `N open tickets across all maps and the whiteboard`, the sum of the open tickets of every open map plus the whiteboard. It uses the dashboard's own count queries (the `trailhead:map-<n>` label per open map, the `trailhead:whiteboard` label), over the open maps listed with `gh issue list --label trailhead:map --state open --limit 200`; the exact recipe is in `../_shared/substrate-commands.md` (Count queries). A map or the whiteboard label is only ever applied to `trailhead:ticket` issues and a ticket carries one of them, never both, so the label scopes are the ticket count and nothing is counted twice; closed maps never count, whiteboard tickets always do. When the maps list reaches 200, or any count reaches its limit, the line reads `at least N open tickets across all maps and the whiteboard`, a lower bound worded as one.

- **Exhaustion check**: if the map is exhausted (no open tickets and no fog left: the destination is reached), **say so and ask whether to close the map issue**, the same ask as the work handoff: on a yes, `gh issue close` it and refresh the dashboard so it drops off; on a no, leave it open. Maps aren't pinned, so there's no pin to free either way. Never close unprompted. Route any un-parked deferred *Out of scope* line first (above) so nothing wanted-later is lost. This user-confirmed close is the only change `map` makes to the map, and only on an explicit yes (the dashboard self-heal below touches only the pinned index, never the map).

**Dashboard self-heal.** Before rendering, ensure the repo's pinned `trailhead:dashboard` index exists and is pinned: create + pin it only if missing, re-pin it if the pin was dropped, and otherwise do nothing (never rewrite its body on a render). This is the same self-heal the **Render the dashboard** engine documents below; the exact gh commands are in `../_shared/substrate-commands.md`.
