-# Vercel Optimize
-
-Run an observability-first Vercel optimization audit. Do not inspect source files until `signals.json` exists and a deterministic gate points to a route, file, or project setting.
-
-Core doctrine: read [references/doctrine.md](references/doctrine.md) if any rule is unclear.
-
-- Metrics first. Recommendations start from Vercel production signals, not repo-wide grep.
-- Deterministic gates. `scripts/gate-investigations.mjs` decides what deserves investigation.
-- Candidate-bound scope. Read only files named by a candidate or a route-local import chain.
-- Version-aware citations. Use only `references/docs-library.json`; invalid or version-mismatched citations are stripped.
-- Customer copy. Read [references/voice.md](references/voice.md) before writing report text or chat output.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Vercel CLI v53+ with `vercel metrics`, `vercel usage`, `vercel contract`, and `vercel api`.
-- Authenticated CLI session: `vercel login`.
-- Linked app directory: `vercel link`. `VERCEL_PROJECT_ID` can help resolve project config, but `vercel metrics` still requires directory linkage. The link or environment must include the intended project org/team/user scope so the collector can resolve a CLI-safe `--scope` and keep `vercel metrics`, `vercel usage`, and `vercel contract` on the same account.
-- Node.js 20+.
-- Observability Plus for route-level metric-backed recommendations.
-
-Never put auth tokens in shell commands. Do not type `VERCEL_TOKEN=...`, `--token ...`, or `Authorization: Bearer ...` into commands that may be echoed in chat.
-
-## Framework Support
-
-The preflight reads `package.json` and sets expectations before metric fan-out.
-
-| Framework              | Status             | Notes                                                                     |
-| ---------------------- | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| Next.js App Router     | supported          | strongest route mapping, scanners, playbooks, citations                   |
-| Next.js Pages Router   | supported          | scoped to Pages Router idioms when detected                               |
-| SvelteKit              | supported          | route mapping for `src/routes` files and SvelteKit scanner                |
-| Nuxt                   | supported          | route mapping plus generic/platform checks; fewer framework-specific recs |
-| Astro                  | limited            | route mapping plus generic checks; fewer framework-specific recs          |
-| Hono / Remix / unknown | blocked by default | continue only if the user accepts a limited platform/code-only audit      |
-
-If unsupported, stop and ask before scanning or gating:
-
-```text
-This project uses <framework>. Vercel Optimize supports metric-backed code recommendations for Next.js, SvelteKit, and Nuxt. Astro support is limited. For <framework>, I can still run a limited platform/scanner audit, but route-level Vercel metrics may not map back to source files.
-
-Do you want me to continue with the limited audit, or stop here?
-```
-
-If the user continues, rerun collection with `--continue-unsupported-framework`.
-
-## Run Directory
-
-Use a fresh run directory for every audit. Do not reuse briefs, sub-agent outputs, or reports across runs.
-
-```bash
-RUN_DIR="$(mktemp -d -t vercel-optimize-XXXXXX)"
-```
-
-## Pipeline
-
-### 1. Collect, scan, and merge signals
-
-Run from the linked app directory or pass `--cwd` where a script supports it. Keep stdout JSON separate from stderr logs. Do not combine streams.
-
-```bash
-node scripts/collect-signals.mjs [projectId] > "$RUN_DIR/vercel-signals.json" 2> "$RUN_DIR/collect.stderr"
-node -e 'JSON.parse(require("fs").readFileSync(process.argv[1], "utf8"))' "$RUN_DIR/vercel-signals.json"
-
-node scripts/scan-codebase.mjs <repo-root> > "$RUN_DIR/codebase.json"
-node scripts/merge-signals.mjs "$RUN_DIR/vercel-signals.json" "$RUN_DIR/codebase.json" --out "$RUN_DIR/signals.json"
-```
-
-Collection details, schemas, metric IDs, and degradation behavior live in [references/data-collection.md](references/data-collection.md). The metric registry is [lib/queries.mjs](lib/queries.mjs); keep all queries on the shared 14-day window.
-
-`collect-signals.mjs` resolves the linked project owner to `commandScope.cliScope` and verifies that the resolved account can read the resolved project before it checks Observability Plus. Downstream scripts reuse that scope for every Vercel CLI command that accepts `--scope`. Do not run `vercel usage`, `vercel metrics`, or `vercel contract` manually without the same scope; unscoped usage can report the user's personal organization while route metrics come from the team project.
-
-If project or scope resolution is ambiguous, stop and ask the user which Vercel project and team/personal scope they want audited. Do not infer the intended scope from the current `vercel whoami` team, and do not proceed with metrics, usage, or contract collection until the link, an exact project match in `.vercel/repo.json`, or `VERCEL_PROJECT_ID` + `VERCEL_ORG_ID` identifies the intended account.
-
-Use this prompt for `PROJECT_SCOPE_UNRESOLVED`, `SCOPE_UNRESOLVED`, or `PROJECT_SCOPE_MISMATCH`:
-
-```text
-I can't safely identify the Vercel project and account for this audit yet.
-
-Please confirm the Vercel project name or ID and the team slug/name, or tell me it's under your personal account. Once confirmed, I'll relink or rerun collection against that exact scope before checking metrics.
-```
-
-### 1.1 Stop on blockers
-
-Check blockers before gating:
-
-```bash
-jq '{frameworkSupportBlocker, observabilityPlus, observabilityPlusUsable, observabilityPlusBlocker, observabilityPlusBlockerDetail}' "$RUN_DIR/signals.json"
-```
-
-Required actions:
-
-- `frameworkSupportBlocker === "unsupported_framework"`: use the unsupported-framework prompt above.
-- `PROJECT_SCOPE_UNRESOLVED`, `SCOPE_UNRESOLVED`, or `PROJECT_SCOPE_MISMATCH`: stop and ask which Vercel project and team/personal scope the user wants audited. For team projects, rerun after `vercel link --yes --project <project-name-or-id> --team <team-slug>`; for personal projects, rerun after linking under the intended user account or after setting both `VERCEL_PROJECT_ID` and `VERCEL_ORG_ID`.
-- `observabilityPlusBlocker === null`: continue.
-- `no_traffic`: tell the user route metrics are sparse; continue only if they accept limited output.
-- `payment_required` or `no_oplus_probe`: render [references/observability-plus.md](references/observability-plus.md) verbatim and ask.
-- `project_disabled`: tell the user to enable Observability Plus for the project or accept a limited audit.
-- `daily_quota_exceeded`: stop and tell the user the Observability query quota is exhausted; retry after the next UTC midnight reset, or ask whether to continue with a limited code-only audit.
-- `not_linked`: link the app directory, then rerun Step 1. If app path and project are known:
-
-```bash
-vercel link --yes --project <project-name-or-id> --cwd <app-dir>
-# add --team <team-id-or-slug> when known
-```
-
-- `forbidden` or `project_not_found`: fix auth/team scope. Do not pitch Observability Plus.
-- `all_failed_other`: show the raw error code and ask whether to continue in limited code-only mode.
-
-Do not silently fall back to code-only mode. If the user accepts a limited audit, rerun collection with:
-
-```bash
-node scripts/collect-signals.mjs [projectId] --continue-without-observability > "$RUN_DIR/vercel-signals.json" 2> "$RUN_DIR/collect.stderr"
-```
-
-Then scan and merge again.
-
-### 2. Gate candidates
-
-```bash
-node scripts/gate-investigations.mjs "$RUN_DIR/signals.json" > "$RUN_DIR/gate.json"
-```
-
-Output shape:
-
-- `toLaunch`: code-scope candidates to investigate.
-- `platform`: project/account-scope recommendations.
-- `gated`: skipped, covered, or disqualified candidates that must still appear in the report.
-- `budget`: candidate budget and selection mode.
-
-Default budget is 6 code-scope candidates with a diversity guardrail. To expand:
-
-```bash
-node scripts/gate-investigations.mjs "$RUN_DIR/signals.json" --max-candidates 12 > "$RUN_DIR/gate.json"
-node scripts/gate-investigations.mjs "$RUN_DIR/signals.json" --max-candidates all > "$RUN_DIR/gate.json"
-```
-
-Generated candidate docs: [references/candidates.md](references/candidates.md).
-
-### 2.1 Ask about audit scope when needed
-
-Before deep-dive, run:
-
-```bash
-node scripts/budget-summary.mjs "$RUN_DIR/gate.json" --format json > "$RUN_DIR/budget-summary.json"
-```
-
-If `shouldAsk` is false, continue.
-
-If `shouldAsk` is true:
-
-1. Print `exactChatMessage.body` exactly as returned. Do not summarize, truncate, reorder, or rewrite it.
-2. Then ask `questionText` using `questionPayload` when the host supports structured questions.
-3. If the user chooses a different number, rerun the gate with `--max-candidates <choice>`.
-
-Never put the long preview inside the question field. The preview and the question are separate surfaces.
-
-### 2.2 Deep-dive and reconcile
-
-```bash
-node scripts/deep-dive.mjs "$RUN_DIR/signals.json" "$RUN_DIR/gate.json" --cwd <project-dir> > "$RUN_DIR/investigation-evidence.json"
-
-node scripts/reconcile-candidates.mjs "$RUN_DIR/investigation-evidence.json" \
-  --gate "$RUN_DIR/gate.json" \
-  --out "$RUN_DIR/reconciled-investigation.json"
-```
-
-`--cwd` must be the linked project directory so `deep-dive.mjs` can verify the same project link and reuse `signals.json.commandScope.cliScope` for any follow-up `vercel metrics` calls.
-
-Reconciliation deterministically converts disproven candidates into observations before any source investigation:
-
-- `metric_mismatch`
-- `error_storm`
-- `deployment_regression`
-- `scanner_only_no_metric`
-
-### 2.3 Generate briefs and investigate
-
-List the work:
-
-```bash
-node scripts/prepare-investigation-brief.mjs "$RUN_DIR/signals.json" "$RUN_DIR/reconciled-investigation.json" --list > "$RUN_DIR/briefs-manifest.json"
-```
-
-Generate one brief for every entry in `briefs-manifest.json.briefs`. The `group` can be `toLaunch` or `platform`; do not generate only `toLaunch` briefs.
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p "$RUN_DIR/briefs" "$RUN_DIR/sub-agent-outputs"
-node scripts/prepare-investigation-brief.mjs "$RUN_DIR/signals.json" "$RUN_DIR/reconciled-investigation.json" \
-  --group <brief.group> --index <brief.index> --out "$RUN_DIR/briefs/<brief.group>-<brief.index>.md"
-```
-
-Use `briefs-manifest.json.briefs[].label` for visible worker names, for example `Low cache-hit route on /docs/llm-digest/[...slug]`, not `toLaunch-7`.
-
-Fan-out rule:
-
-- 1-2 briefs: investigate inline.
-- 3+ briefs: spawn one sub-agent per brief when the host supports it.
-- Hosts without sub-agents: run inline serially.
-
-Sub-agent contract:
-
-- The brief is the whole prompt.
-- Read only files listed in the brief, plus route-local imports when needed.
-- Emit one JSON recommendation or one JSON no-change finding using [references/recommendations.md](references/recommendations.md).
-- Do not cite URLs outside the provided citation subset.
-- Do not recommend framework features unavailable in the detected version.
-
-If a sub-agent reaches for repo-wide grep, the candidate is malformed; drop or abstain rather than widening scope.
-
-### 2.4 Collect outputs
-
-Save each raw investigation result in `$RUN_DIR/sub-agent-outputs/`, then collect:
-
-```bash
-node scripts/collect-sub-agent-outputs.mjs \
-  --manifest "$RUN_DIR/briefs-manifest.json" \
-  --out "$RUN_DIR/recommendations.json" \
-  "$RUN_DIR/sub-agent-outputs/"
-```
-
-The collector extracts JSON, prepends pre-resolved records, enforces manifest order, and fails on missing, duplicate, unknown, or mismatched `candidateRef` values.
-
-### 3. Verify recommendations
-
-```bash
-node scripts/verify-and-regen.mjs "$RUN_DIR/recommendations.json" \
-  --signals "$RUN_DIR/signals.json" \
-  --repo-root <project-dir> \
-  --out "$RUN_DIR/verify.json"
-```
-
-This script extracts claims, verifies files/citations/version fit, grades quality, applies sanitizers, emits `verifiedRecommendations`, `withheldRecommendations`, `renderableRecommendations`, and creates `regenPlan` for failed or unsafe recommendations.
-
-Recommendation schema, writing rules, sanitizer order, and grading rules: [references/recommendations.md](references/recommendations.md). Verification rules: [references/verification.md](references/verification.md).
-
-For each `regenPlan` entry, rerun the same brief with a `Previous attempt failed these checks` section listing `topFailures`. Keep the regenerated output only if verification improves without gutting citations.
-
-### 4. Render report and final message
-
-```bash
-node scripts/render-report.mjs "$RUN_DIR/verify.json" "$RUN_DIR/gate.json" "$RUN_DIR/signals.json" \
-  --project <name> \
-  --out "$RUN_DIR/report.md" \
-  --message-out "$RUN_DIR/final-message.json"
-```
-
-Use `--debug-out "$RUN_DIR/debug.json"` only when developing the skill. Customer Markdown and chat output must not expose `passRate`, `quality`, sanitizer trails, raw sub-agent names, or other implementation fields.
-
-After rendering, print `final-message.json.body` verbatim and stop. Do not add highlights, debug notes, raw counts, sub-agent summaries, or extra explanation. Render-time dedupe, platform caps, and hard-safety drops can change the customer-visible count, so never summarize from raw `verify.json`.
-
-Report structure and impact framing: [references/scoring.md](references/scoring.md).
-
-## Recommendation Rules
-
-Every recommendation must:
-
-- Trace to a launched candidate, platform candidate, pre-resolved observation, or verified traffic-independent scanner finding.
-- Include observed metric evidence from `signals.json` or `evidence.deepDive`.
-- Cite verified files with line numbers when code is involved.
-- Include at least one allowed citation that applies to the detected framework/version.
-- Use precise observed performance numbers.
-- Use cost magnitude phrases only; never customer-facing `$N` savings.
-- Do not recommend duration reductions for Vercel Workflow runtime endpoints (`/.well-known/workflow/v1/*`). These are generated orchestration routes for durable step/flow execution and should be hard-gated before investigation.
-- Workflow recommendations must name the boundary being changed. Valid examples: enqueue durable work and return a run ID instead of awaiting completion, fix stream replay/closure/locks, or reduce verified excess Workflow Steps/Storage. Do not infer cost savings from Workflow endpoint wall-clock duration.
-- For streaming, SSE, resumable chat, or other intentionally long-lived routes, do not frame wall-clock function duration as a problem by itself. Require evidence of avoidable pre-first-byte work, high active CPU, duplicate invocations, or post-response work that can move out of the user-visible path.
-- Name a specific cache policy when recommending caching.
-- Keep unsafe responses dynamic unless evidence proves they are safe to cache: auth-sensitive paths, errors, fallback responses, missing content, invalid requests, geolocation/device-varying output, and unversioned dynamic URLs.
-
-Never recommend "verify X is on" for facts already present in `signals.project`, including Fluid compute status, memory tier, regions, in-function concurrency, and timeout.
-
-## Scanner Rules
-
-Scanner findings are supplementary. Drop findings annotated `COLD-PATH` or `NO-ROUTE-MAPPING` unless the scanner declares `metadata.trafficIndependent === true`.
-
-Traffic-independent examples: middleware matcher, source maps, React Compiler config, build settings. Route-local cache or data-fetch patterns need route-level traffic evidence.
-
-Scanner docs: [references/scanner-patterns.md](references/scanner-patterns.md).
-
-## Final Customer Terms
-
-Use:
-
-- `recommendations ready`
-- `observations from investigation`
-- `investigated, no change recommended`
-- `not investigated in this run`
-
-Avoid:
-
-- `sub-agent`
-- `abstention`
-- `passRate`
-- `quality score`
-- `gate`
-- `LLM`
-
-## Failure Copy
-
-Use these messages without adding sales copy or process detail.
-
-**No traffic in the last 14 days:**
-
-> This project has no meaningful traffic in the last 14 days, so route-level metrics are sparse. I can still check traffic-independent scanner findings and project settings, but I cannot rank route fixes until traffic accumulates.
-
-**Route-level metrics unavailable:**
-
-> Use the verbatim choice template in [references/observability-plus.md](references/observability-plus.md). Do not silently fall back to code-only mode; present the two-path choice: enable Observability Plus and rerun the metric-backed audit, or accept a limited code-only run.
-
-**Project is not linked:**
-
-> This worktree is not linked to a Vercel project. Run `vercel link --yes --project <project-name-or-id> --cwd <app-dir>` and rerun the audit. If the team is known, add `--team <team-id-or-slug>`.
-
-**Most route-to-file mappings failed:**
-
-> The route inventory matched fewer than half of the routes we saw in observability. This is common in monorepos with custom routing. I've surfaced what I can match; the rest appear in the "Not investigated in this run" section.

+node scripts/gate-investigations.mjs "$RUN_DIR/signals.json" --max-candidates all > "$RUN_DIR/gate.json"
+```
+
+Generated candidate docs: [references/candidates.md](references/candidates.md).
+
+### 2.1 Ask about audit scope when needed
+
+Before deep-dive, run:
+
+```bash
+node scripts/budget-summary.mjs "$RUN_DIR/gate.json" --format json > "$RUN_DIR/budget-summary.json"
+```
+
+If `shouldAsk` is false, continue.
+
+If `shouldAsk` is true:
+
+1. Print `exactChatMessage.body` exactly as returned. Do not summarize, truncate, reorder, or rewrite it.
+2. Then ask `questionText` using `questionPayload` when the host supports structured questions.
+3. If the user chooses a different number, rerun the gate with `--max-candidates <choice>`.
+
+Never put the long preview inside the question field. The preview and the question are separate surfaces.
+
+### 2.2 Deep-dive and reconcile
+
+```bash
+node scripts/deep-dive.mjs "$RUN_DIR/signals.json" "$RUN_DIR/gate.json" --cwd <project-dir> > "$RUN_DIR/investigation-evidence.json"
+
+node scripts/reconcile-candidates.mjs "$RUN_DIR/investigation-evidence.json" \
+  --gate "$RUN_DIR/gate.json" \
+  --out "$RUN_DIR/reconciled-investigation.json"
+```
+
+`--cwd` must be the linked project directory so `deep-dive.mjs` can verify the same project link and reuse `signals.json.commandScope.cliScope` for any follow-up `vercel metrics` calls.
+
+Reconciliation deterministically converts disproven candidates into observations before any source investigation:
+
+- `metric_mismatch`
+- `error_storm`
+- `deployment_regression`
+- `scanner_only_no_metric`
+
+### 2.3 Generate briefs and investigate
+
+List the work:
+
+```bash
+node scripts/prepare-investigation-brief.mjs "$RUN_DIR/signals.json" "$RUN_DIR/reconciled-investigation.json" --list > "$RUN_DIR/briefs-manifest.json"
+```
+
+Generate one brief for every entry in `briefs-manifest.json.briefs`. The `group` can be `toLaunch` or `platform`; do not generate only `toLaunch` briefs.
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p "$RUN_DIR/briefs" "$RUN_DIR/sub-agent-outputs"
+node scripts/prepare-investigation-brief.mjs "$RUN_DIR/signals.json" "$RUN_DIR/reconciled-investigation.json" \
+  --group <brief.group> --index <brief.index> --out "$RUN_DIR/briefs/<brief.group>-<brief.index>.md"
+```
+
+Use `briefs-manifest.json.briefs[].label` for visible worker names, for example `Low cache-hit route on /docs/llm-digest/[...slug]`, not `toLaunch-7`.
+
+Fan-out rule:
+
+- 1-2 briefs: investigate inline.
+- 3+ briefs: spawn one sub-agent per brief when the host supports it.
+- Hosts without sub-agents: run inline serially.
+
+Sub-agent contract:
+
+- The brief is the whole prompt.
+- Read only files listed in the brief, plus route-local imports when needed.
+- Emit one JSON recommendation or one JSON no-change finding using [references/recommendations.md](references/recommendations.md).
+- Do not cite URLs outside the provided citation subset.
+- Do not recommend framework features unavailable in the detected version.
+
+If a sub-agent reaches for repo-wide grep, the candidate is malformed; drop or abstain rather than widening scope.
+
+### 2.4 Collect outputs
+
+Save each raw investigation result in `$RUN_DIR/sub-agent-outputs/`, then collect:
+
+```bash
+node scripts/collect-sub-agent-outputs.mjs \
+  --manifest "$RUN_DIR/briefs-manifest.json" \
+  --out "$RUN_DIR/recommendations.json" \
+  "$RUN_DIR/sub-agent-outputs/"
+```
+
+The collector extracts JSON, prepends pre-resolved records, enforces manifest order, and fails on missing, duplicate, unknown, or mismatched `candidateRef` values.
+
+### 3. Verify recommendations
+
+```bash
+node scripts/verify-and-regen.mjs "$RUN_DIR/recommendations.json" \
+  --signals "$RUN_DIR/signals.json" \
+  --repo-root <project-dir> \
+  --out "$RUN_DIR/verify.json"
+```
+
+This script extracts claims, verifies files/citations/version fit, grades quality, applies sanitizers, emits `verifiedRecommendations`, `withheldRecommendations`, `renderableRecommendations`, and creates `regenPlan` for failed or unsafe recommendations.
+
+Recommendation schema, writing rules, sanitizer order, and grading rules: [references/recommendations.md](references/recommendations.md). Verification rules: [references/verification.md](references/verification.md).
+
+For each `regenPlan` entry, rerun the same brief with a `Previous attempt failed these checks` section listing `topFailures`. Keep the regenerated output only if verification improves without gutting citations.
+
+### 4. Render report and final message
+
+```bash
+node scripts/render-report.mjs "$RUN_DIR/verify.json" "$RUN_DIR/gate.json" "$RUN_DIR/signals.json" \
+  --project <name> \
+  --out "$RUN_DIR/report.md" \
+  --message-out "$RUN_DIR/final-message.json"
+```
+
+Use `--debug-out "$RUN_DIR/debug.json"` only when developing the skill. Customer Markdown and chat output must not expose `passRate`, `quality`, sanitizer trails, raw sub-agent names, or other implementation fields.
+
+After rendering, print `final-message.json.body` verbatim and stop. Do not add highlights, debug notes, raw counts, sub-agent summaries, or extra explanation. Render-time dedupe, platform caps, and hard-safety drops can change the customer-visible count, so never summarize from raw `verify.json`.
+
+Report structure and impact framing: [references/scoring.md](references/scoring.md).
+
+## Recommendation Rules
+
+Every recommendation must:
+
+- Trace to a launched candidate, platform candidate, pre-resolved observation, or verified traffic-independent scanner finding.
+- Include observed metric evidence from `signals.json` or `evidence.deepDive`.
+- Cite verified files with line numbers when code is involved.
+- Include at least one allowed citation that applies to the detected framework/version.
+- Use precise observed performance numbers.
+- Use cost magnitude phrases only; never customer-facing `$N` savings.
+- Do not recommend duration reductions for Vercel Workflow runtime endpoints (`/.well-known/workflow/v1/*`). These are generated orchestration routes for durable step/flow execution and should be hard-gated before investigation.
+- Workflow recommendations must name the boundary being changed. Valid examples: enqueue durable work and return a run ID instead of awaiting completion, fix stream replay/closure/locks, or reduce verified excess Workflow Steps/Storage. Do not infer cost savings from Workflow endpoint wall-clock duration.
+- For streaming, SSE, resumable chat, or other intentionally long-lived routes, do not frame wall-clock function duration as a problem by itself. Require evidence of avoidable pre-first-byte work, high active CPU, duplicate invocations, or post-response work that can move out of the user-visible path.
+- Name a specific cache policy when recommending caching.
+- Keep unsafe responses dynamic unless evidence proves they are safe to cache: auth-sensitive paths, errors, fallback responses, missing content, invalid requests, geolocation/device-varying output, and unversioned dynamic URLs.
+
+Never recommend "verify X is on" for facts already present in `signals.project`, including Fluid compute status, memory tier, regions, in-function concurrency, and timeout.
+
+## Scanner Rules
+
+Scanner findings are supplementary. Drop findings annotated `COLD-PATH` or `NO-ROUTE-MAPPING` unless the scanner declares `metadata.trafficIndependent === true`.
+
+Traffic-independent examples: middleware matcher, source maps, React Compiler config, build settings. Route-local cache or data-fetch patterns need route-level traffic evidence.
+
+Scanner docs: [references/scanner-patterns.md](references/scanner-patterns.md).
+
+## Final Customer Terms
+
+Use:
+
+- `recommendations ready`
+- `observations from investigation`
+- `investigated, no change recommended`
+- `not investigated in this run`
+
+Avoid:
+
+- `sub-agent`
+- `abstention`
+- `passRate`
+- `quality score`
+- `gate`
+- `LLM`

+
+**No traffic in the last 14 days:**
+
+> This project has no meaningful traffic in the last 14 days, so route-level metrics are sparse. I can still check traffic-independent scanner findings and project settings, but I cannot rank route fixes until traffic accumulates.
+
+**Route-level metrics unavailable:**
+
+> Use the verbatim choice template in [references/observability-plus.md](references/observability-plus.md). Do not silently fall back to code-only mode; present the two-path choice: enable Observability Plus and rerun the metric-backed audit, or accept a limited code-only run.
+
+**Project is not linked:**
+
+> This worktree is not linked to a Vercel project. Run `vercel link --yes --project <project-name-or-id> --cwd <app-dir>` and rerun the audit. If the team is known, add `--team <team-id-or-slug>`.
+
+**Most route-to-file mappings failed:**
+
+> The route inventory matched fewer than half of the routes we saw in observability. This is common in monorepos with custom routing. I've surfaced what I can match; the rest appear in the "Not investigated in this run" section.
