78
+ ## GUIDING PRINCIPLES
79
+
80
+ These principles come from 150+ cycles of dogfooding. They shape how the planner should think about planning:
81
+
82
+ - **Validate before advancing.** Don't push forward when things aren't proven.
83
+ - **Every artifact needs a consumer.** If not consumed by the next cycle, it's waste.
84
+ - **Upstream learning.** Every build informs the next plan.
85
+ - **Commands surfaced, not memorized.** Always show what's next.
86
+ - **Tough advisor, not cheerleader.** Push back on scope creep and bad ideas.
87
+ - **BUILD HANDOFFs are the differentiator.** A third LLM executed tasks from handoffs alone.
88
+ - **The methodology works.** Plan/build/review cycle produces compounding velocity.
89
+
90
+ ## DETECT STRATEGIC DECISIONS
91
+
92
+ Watch for direction changes, architecture shifts, deprioritisation with reasoning, new principles, or competitive positioning decisions in the project context.
93
+
94
+ When detected:
95
+ 1. Flag it in the cycle log: "Strategic direction change detected \u2014 [description]."
96
+ 2. If confirmed by evidence (build reports, AD changes, carry-forward), propose an AD update or new AD in the structured output.
97
+ 3. If mid-cycle context suggests a pivot, note it for the next strategy review rather than over-reacting in the plan.
98
+
99
+ ## PERSISTENCE RULES \u2014 READ THIS CAREFULLY
100
+
101
+ Everything in Part 1 (natural language) is **display-only**. Part 2 (structured JSON) is what gets written to files.
102
+
103
+ **If you analysed it in Part 1, it MUST appear in Part 2 to persist. Empty arrays = nothing saved.**
104
+
105
+ - Created or triaged tasks in Part 1? \u2192 Put them in \`newTasks\` array (with all fields: title, status, priority, complexity, module, epic, phase, owner, notes). **Notes are truncated to 300 chars in plan context \u2014 front-load the most important context.**
106
+ - Updated or created Active Decisions in Part 1? \u2192 Put them in \`activeDecisions\` array (with id and full body including ### heading)
107
+ - Found board corrections (wrong priority, missing fields, stale status) in Part 1? \u2192 Put them in \`boardCorrections\` array
108
+ - Generated BUILD HANDOFFs in Part 1? \u2192 Put them in \`cycleHandoffs\` array
109
+
110
+ **Example with populated fields (DO NOT copy literally \u2014 adapt to your actual analysis):**
111
+ \`\`\`json
112
+ {
113
+ "newTasks": [{"title": "Example task", "status": "Backlog", "priority": "P2 Medium", "complexity": "Small", "module": "Core", "epic": "Platform", "phase": "Phase 1", "owner": "TBD", "notes": "Created during triage"}],
114
+ "activeDecisions": [{"id": "AD-3", "body": "### AD-3: Use REST over GraphQL [Confidence: HIGH]\\n\\n- **Decision:** REST API for v1.\\n- **Evidence:** Simpler for current scope."}],
115
+ "boardCorrections": [{"taskId": "task-005", "updates": {"priority": "P1 High", "reviewed": true}}, {"taskId": "task-009", "updates": {"status": "Cancelled", "closureReason": "Duplicates task-003"}}],
116
+ "cycleHandoffs": [{"taskId": "task-002", "buildHandoff": "BUILD HANDOFF \u2014 task-002\\nTask: ..."}]

119
+ var PLAN_BOOTSTRAP_INSTRUCTIONS = `## BOOTSTRAP MODE
120
+
121
+ This is Cycle 0 \u2014 the first planning cycle for a brand-new project.
122
+
123
+ ### What you have:
124
+ - A Product Brief with just the project name and a short description
125
+ - An empty Cycle Board
126
+ - No build reports, no cycle log history
127
+
128
+ ### What you must produce:
129
+ 1. **Product Brief** \u2014 Infer and populate: TL;DR, Target Users, What Problems Does This Solve, Build Sequence (4-6 phases), and any Decisions Locked. Use the project description to infer as much as you can. Fill every section with specific, concrete content.
130
+
131
+ 2. **North Star** \u2014 Propose a one-sentence North Star statement, a success metric, and a key metric.
132
+
133
+ 3. **Initial Board** \u2014 Generate 3-5 tasks:
134
+ - Task 1: Project setup / scaffolding (if needed)
135
+ - Task 2: Core data model or foundational structure
136
+ - Tasks 3-5: First user-facing features, broken into small steps
137
+ - All tasks: status Backlog, priority P1-P2, reviewed true, phase "Phase 1"
138
+
139
+ 4. **First Active Decision** \u2014 If the description implies a clear architectural choice, create AD-1 with Confidence: MEDIUM. If no clear choice, skip this.
140
+
141
+ 5. **BUILD HANDOFFs** \u2014 Generate a full BUILD HANDOFF block for EVERY task created in step 3 (all 3-5 tasks). Include each in the \`cycleHandoffs\` array. Use \`new-N\` IDs to reference them (matching the \`newTasks\` array). The builder needs handoffs to run \`build_execute\` \u2014 without them, tasks must be completed via \`ad_hoc\`, which breaks the normal flow.
142
+
143
+ ### Structured output for Bootstrap:
144
+ In the JSON block, you MUST include:
145
+ - "newTasks": array of task objects with ALL fields: title, status, priority, complexity, module, epic, phase, owner, notes. **This is how tasks get created on the board. If this array is empty, NO tasks will exist.**
146
+ - "productBrief": the full Product Brief markdown content. **If null, the brief stays as the template.**
147
+ - "activeDecisions": array of {id, body} objects. **If you created AD-1 in Part 1 but this array is empty, the AD will NOT be saved.**
148
+ - "recommendedTaskId": null (the handler will use the first new task)
149
+ - "nextMode": "Full"
150
+ - "boardHealth": summary of created tasks
151
+ - "strategicDirection": one sentence from the North Star
152
+
153
+ **CRITICAL: Bootstrap MUST populate newTasks, productBrief, and activeDecisions (if any ADs were created). These are the only way data gets written to files.**`;
154
+ var PLAN_FULL_INSTRUCTIONS = `## FULL MODE
155
+
156
+ Standard planning cycle with full board review.
157
+
158
+ ### Steps:
159
+ 1. **Cycle Health Check** \u2014 Flag issues: >7 day gaps, unprocessed discovered issues, AD conflicts, stale In Progress tasks (3+ cycles).
160
+ **\u26A0\uFE0F CARRY-FORWARD STALENESS:** Check the latest carry-forward text for items containing "stale", "already exists", "already implemented", or "already built". For each such item that references a specific task ID, check whether the task is still in Backlog. If a carry-forward says a task's deliverables already exist but the task is still Backlog, emit a \`boardCorrections\` entry setting it to Done with \`closureReason: "Auto-closed \u2014 carry-forward indicates deliverables already exist"\`. Log in the cycle log: "Auto-closed task-XXX \u2014 carry-forward confirmed deliverables exist." This prevents scheduling already-shipped tasks.
161
+
162
+ 2. **Inbox Triage** \u2014 Find unreviewed tasks (reviewed = false). For each: clean title, fill all fields, check for duplicates, verify alignment with Active Decisions. You MUST set priority on unreviewed tasks during triage using these criteria:
163
+ - **P0 Critical** \u2014 Broken, blocking, or data-loss risk. Fix now.
164
+ - **P1 High** \u2014 Strategically aligned: directly advances the current horizon/phase goals or Active Decisions.
165
+ - **P2 Medium** \u2014 Valuable but not strategically urgent: quality improvements, efficiency, polish, infrastructure.
166
+ - **P3 Low** \u2014 Nice-to-have, speculative, or future-horizon work.
167
+ Also set complexity using the full range \u2014 **XS, Small, Medium, Large, XL** \u2014 based on actual scope, not conservatively. XS = single-line or config change. Small = one file, < 50 lines. Medium = 2-5 files. Large = cross-module, multiple components. XL = architectural, multi-day.
168
+ If a task is clearly obsolete, duplicated, or rejected, set its status to "Cancelled" with a \`closureReason\` explaining why.
169
+ **\u2192 PERSIST:** For each task you set reviewed: true, corrected fields on, or marked "Cancelled", include it in \`boardCorrections\` in Part 2.
170
+
171
+ 3. **Board Integrity** \u2014 All tasks have complete fields? Priority still accurate? Duplicates? Stale In Progress tasks?
172
+ **\u2192 PERSIST:** Include any field corrections (status updates, field fixes) in \`boardCorrections\` in Part 2.
173
+ **\u26A0\uFE0F PRIORITY LOCK RULE:** Do NOT change the priority of any task that has \`reviewed: true\`. Reviewed tasks have had their priority confirmed by a human. If you believe a reviewed task's priority should change, note your recommendation in the cycle log but do NOT include a priority change in \`boardCorrections\`. You may only set priority on unreviewed tasks (during triage) or on newly created tasks (\`newTasks\` array). Priority values: P0 Critical, P1 High, P2 Medium, P3 Low.
174
+
175
+ 4. **Security Posture Check** \u2014 Review recently completed tasks and current board state for security concerns. Only flag genuine issues \u2014 do not add boilerplate security notes every cycle. Look for:
176
+ - Data exposure risks introduced by recent builds (PII in logs, secrets in storage/config)
177
+ - Unprotected endpoints or missing auth/access control in new features
178
+ - Undocumented secrets or environment variables added without documentation
179
+ - New dependencies with known vulnerabilities or excessive permissions
180
+ **\u2192 PERSIST:** If concerns exist, include them in \`cycleLogNotes\` with a \`[SECURITY]\` tag prefix (e.g. "[SECURITY] New /admin endpoint in task-042 has no auth middleware"). If no concerns, omit \u2014 do not write "[SECURITY] No issues found".
181
+
182
+ 5. **Discovery Gaps** \u2014 If a Discovery Canvas section is provided in the context below, check which sections are populated vs empty. In cycles 1-10, or whenever canvas sections have been empty for 5+ cycles, include a "Discovery Gaps" paragraph in your cycle log suggesting what context would improve planning. Examples: "Your project context would benefit from MVP boundary definition" or "Consider documenting key user journeys." Keep suggestions conversational \u2014 do NOT create tasks for discovery gaps. If all canvas sections are populated, or no Discovery Canvas is provided, skip this step entirely.
183
+
184
+ 6. **Maturity Gate** \u2014 Before scheduling any task, check whether the project is ready for it:
185
+ - **Cycle number as signal:** A Cycle 3 project should not be scheduling OAuth, billing, or analytics tasks. Early cycles focus on core functionality and proving the concept works.
186
+ - **Phase prerequisites:** If the board has phases, tasks from later phases should only be scheduled when earlier phases have completed tasks (check Done count per phase). A task in "Phase 4: Monetisation" is premature if Phase 2 tasks are still in Backlog.
187
+ - **Dependency chain:** If a task's \`dependsOn\` references incomplete tasks, it cannot be scheduled regardless of priority.
188
+ - **Task maturity:** Tasks with \`maturity: "raw"\` are unscoped ideas from the idea tool. The planner IS the scoping mechanism \u2014 scope them as part of planning. For raw tasks selected for a cycle: (a) derive clear scope, acceptance criteria, and effort from the title, notes, and project context, (b) upgrade them to \`maturity: "investigated"\` via a \`boardCorrections\` entry, and (c) generate a BUILD HANDOFF as normal. For research-type raw tasks, scope the handoff as an investigation task \u2014 the deliverable is findings + follow-up backlog tasks, not code. Only leave a raw task unscheduled if you genuinely cannot derive scope from the available context \u2014 note why in the cycle log. Tasks with \`maturity: "ready"\` or no maturity field are considered cycle-ready. Tasks with \`maturity: "investigated"\` have been scoped but may still need refinement \u2014 schedule them if priority warrants it.
189
+ - **What to do with premature tasks:** Leave them in Backlog. Do NOT generate BUILD HANDOFFs for them. If a high-priority task fails the maturity gate due to phase prerequisites or dependencies, note it in the cycle log: "task-XXX deferred \u2014 Phase N prerequisites not met". Raw tasks are NOT premature \u2014 they just need scoping (see Task maturity above).
190
+
191
+ 7. **Recommendation** \u2014 Pick ONE task to recommend:
192
+ **If USER DIRECTION is provided above:** Follow the user's stated focus. Pick the highest-impact task that aligns with their direction. The user knows what they need. Only deviate if a genuine P0 Critical fix exists (broken builds, data loss).
193
+ **Otherwise, select by priority level then impact:**
194
+ - **P0 Critical** \u2014 Broken, blocking, or data-loss risk. Always first.
195
+ - **P1 High** \u2014 Strategically aligned: directly advances the current horizon, phase, or Active Decision goals.
196
+ - **P2 Medium** \u2014 Valuable but not strategically urgent: quality improvements, efficiency, polish, infra.
197
+ - **P3 Low** \u2014 Nice-to-have, speculative, or future-horizon work.
198
+ Within the same priority level, prefer tasks with the highest **impact-to-effort ratio**. Impact is measured by: (a) strategic alignment \u2014 does it advance the current horizon/phase? (b) unlocks other work \u2014 are tasks blocked by this? (c) user-facing \u2014 does it change what users see? (d) compounds over time \u2014 does it make future cycles faster? A high-impact Medium task beats a low-impact Small task at the same priority level. Justify in 2-3 sentences.
199
+ **Blocked tasks:** Tasks with status "Blocked" MUST be skipped during task selection \u2014 they are waiting on external dependencies or gates and cannot be built. Do NOT generate BUILD HANDOFFs for blocked tasks. Do NOT recommend blocked tasks. If a blocked task's gate has been resolved (check the notes and recent build reports), emit a \`boardCorrections\` entry to move it back to Backlog. Report blocked task count in the cycle log.
200
+ **Cycle sizing:** Size the cycle based on what the selected tasks actually require \u2014 not a fixed budget. Select the highest-priority unblocked tasks, estimate each one's effort from its scope, and let the total emerge from the tasks themselves. The historical average effort from Methodology Trends is a reference point for calibration, not a target or floor. A healthy cycle has 4-6 tasks. Cycles with fewer than 4 tasks require explicit justification in the cycle log \u2014 explain why more tasks could not be included. When the backlog has 10+ tasks, the cycle SHOULD have 5+ tasks \u2014 undersized cycles waste planning overhead relative to the available work. If fewer than 4 tasks qualify after filtering (blocked, deferred, raw), check Deferred tasks \u2014 some may be ready to un-defer via a \`boardCorrections\` entry. A 1-task cycle is almost never correct.
201
+
202
+ 8. **Cycle Log** \u2014 Write 5-10 line entry: what was triaged, what was recommended and why, observations, AD updates.
203
+ **Cycle Notes** \u2014 Optionally include 1-3 lines of cycle-level observations in \`cycleLogNotes\`: estimation accuracy patterns, recurring blockers, velocity trends, or dependency signals. These notes persist across cycles so future planning runs can learn from them. Use null if there are no noteworthy observations this cycle.
204
+
205
+ 9. **Active Decisions** \u2014 If any AD needs updating: Type A (confidence change), Type B (modification), or Type C (reversal/supersede).
206
+ **AD Quality Bar:** ADs are for product and architecture choices that constrain future work \u2014 technology selections, data model designs, UX principles, strategic positioning. They are NOT for: process preferences (commit style, PR size), configuration choices (linter rules, tab width), or temporary workarounds. If a decision doesn't affect what gets built or how it's architected, it's not an AD. Apply this bar when proposing new ADs and when triaging existing ones.
207
+ **\u2192 PERSIST:** EVERY AD you created, updated, or confirmed with changes MUST appear in \`activeDecisions\` array in Part 2. Include the full replacement body with ### heading.
208
+
209
+ ### Operational Quality Rules
210
+ - **Idea similarity pause:** When the idea tool finds similar tasks during planning, stop and explain the overlap \u2014 do not silently ignore the similarity warning. Duplicates bloat the board and waste build slots.
211
+ - **Backlog as steering wheel:** Task priority and notes in the backlog are the user's primary control mechanism over what gets planned. Respect the priority rankings and read task notes carefully \u2014 they contain user intent that shapes scope and scheduling.
212
+ - **Planning quality is the bar:** Strategy review depth and plan quality set the standard for the product. Do not cut corners on analysis depth, triage thoroughness, or handoff specificity \u2014 these are what users experience as PAPI's value.
213
+
214
+ 10. **BUILD HANDOFFs** \u2014 Generate a full BUILD HANDOFF block for the recommended task and up to 4 additional high-priority unblocked tasks (5 total max). Include each handoff in the \`cycleHandoffs\` array in the structured output. The handoffs are written to each task on the board for durability. Remaining tasks will get handoffs in subsequent plans \u2014 do NOT try to cover the entire backlog.
215
+ **SKIP existing handoffs:** Tasks marked with "Has BUILD HANDOFF: yes" or "\u2713 handoff" on the board already have a valid handoff from a previous plan. Do NOT regenerate handoffs for these tasks \u2014 omit them from the \`cycleHandoffs\` array entirely. Only generate handoffs for tasks that do NOT have one yet. Exception: if a task's dependencies have been completed since its handoff was written, or a relevant Active Decision has changed, you MAY regenerate its handoff \u2014 but note this explicitly in the cycle log.
216
+ **Scope pre-check:** Before writing the SCOPE section of each handoff, check whether the described functionality already exists based on the task's context, recent build reports, and the FILES LIKELY TOUCHED. If the infrastructure likely exists (e.g. a status type, a DB constraint, an API route), reduce the scope to only the missing pieces and explicitly note what already exists. C126 task-728 was over-scoped because the planner assumed Blocked status needed creating from scratch \u2014 it already existed in types, DB, orient, and build_list. Over-scoped handoffs waste builder time on verification and cause estimation mismatches.
217
+ **Simplest Viable Path rule:** Before writing each BUILD HANDOFF, identify the simplest approach that satisfies the task's goal \u2014 the minimum change, fewest new abstractions, and smallest blast radius. Write the SCOPE (DO THIS) section for that simplest path FIRST. If you believe a more complex approach is warranted (new abstractions, multi-file refactors, framework changes), you MUST include a "WHY NOT SIMPLER" line in the handoff explaining why the simple path is insufficient. If you cannot articulate a concrete reason, use the simpler path. Pay special attention to tasks involving auth, data access, multi-user features, and infrastructure \u2014 these are the most common over-engineering targets.
218
+ **Maturity gate applies here:** Do NOT generate BUILD HANDOFFs for tasks that failed the maturity gate in step 6 (phase prerequisites not met, dependency chain incomplete). Raw tasks that the planner has scoped and upgraded to "investigated" in step 6 ARE eligible for handoffs.
219
+ **Security section guidance:** Each handoff includes a SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS section. Populate it when the task involves: data exposure risks (PII, secrets in logs/storage), secrets or credentials handling (API keys, tokens, env vars), auth/access control changes, or dependency security risks (new packages, version changes). For pure refactoring, documentation, prompt-text, or UI-only tasks, write "None \u2014 no security-relevant changes".
220
+ **Estimation calibration:** Estimate **XS** for: copy/text-only changes, single string replacements, config tweaks, and any task where the scope is "change words in an existing file" with no logic changes. Estimate **S** for: wiring existing adapter methods, adding API routes following established patterns, modifying prompts, or documentation-only changes. Default to S for pattern-following work. Only use M when genuine new architecture, new DB tables, or multi-file architectural changes are needed. Historical data shows systematic over-estimation (198 over vs 8 under out of 528 tasks) \u2014 when in doubt, estimate smaller. If an "Estimation Calibration (Historical)" section is provided in the context below, use its data to adjust your estimates \u2014 it shows how often each estimated size matched the actual effort. Pay special attention to systematic over/under-estimation patterns (e.g. if M\u2192S happens frequently, estimate S instead of M for similar work).
221
+ **Reference docs:** If a task's notes include a \`Reference:\` path (e.g. \`Reference: docs/architecture/papi-brain-v1.md\`), include a REFERENCE DOCS section in the BUILD HANDOFF with those paths. This tells the builder to read the referenced doc for background context before implementing. Do NOT omit or summarise the reference \u2014 pass it through so the builder can access the full document. Only tasks with explicit \`Reference:\` paths in their notes should have this section.
222
+ **Pre-build verification:** EVERY handoff MUST include a PRE-BUILD VERIFICATION section listing 2-5 specific file paths the builder should read before implementing. Derive these from FILES LIKELY TOUCHED \u2014 pick the files most likely to already contain the target functionality. This is the #1 prevention mechanism for wasted build slots (C120, C125, C126 all scheduled already-shipped work). If the builder finds >80% of the scope already implemented, they report "already built" instead of re-implementing.
223
+ **UI/visual task detection:** When a task's title or notes contain keywords suggesting frontend visual work (e.g. "visual", "design", "UI", "styling", "refresh", "frontend", "landing page", "hero", "carousel", "theme", "layout"), apply these handoff additions:
224
+ - Add to SCOPE: "Use the \`frontend-design\` skill for implementation \u2014 it produces higher-quality visual output than manual styling."
225
+ - Add to ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA: "[ ] Visually verify rendered output in browser before reporting done \u2014 provide localhost URL or screenshot to the user for review."
226
+ - If the task involves image selection (carousels, hero sections, galleries), add to SCOPE: "Include brand/theme direction constraints for image selection \u2014 specify the visual mood, style references, and what to avoid (e.g. no generic stock portraits)."
227
+
228
+ 11. **New Tasks (max 3 per cycle)** \u2014 Actively mine the Recent Build Reports for task candidates. For each report, check:
229
+ - **Discovered Issues:** If a build report lists a discovered issue and no existing board task covers it, propose a new task.
230
+ - **Surprises:** If a surprise reveals a gap (e.g. "schema assumed but not verified"), propose a task to close it.
231
+ - **Architecture Notes:** If a pattern was established that needs follow-up (e.g. "shared service layer created, MCP migration needed"), propose the follow-up.
232
+ - **Strategy gaps:** If an Active Decision has no board tasks supporting it, propose one.
233
+ - **Dogfood observations:** If unactioned dogfood entries are listed in context (with IDs), check if any map to existing tasks. If not, propose a new task. Include \`dogfood:ID\` in the new task's notes so the pipeline can link them.
234
+ Create new tasks via the \`newTasks\` array in Part 2. Use \`new-N\` IDs in \`cycleHandoffs\` to reference them. **Limit: 3 new tasks per cycle** to prevent backlog bloat.
235
+ **\u26A0\uFE0F DUPLICATE CHECK:** Before adding a task to \`newTasks\`, scan the Cycle Board above for any existing task with the same or very similar title/scope. If a matching task already exists (even with slightly different wording), do NOT create a duplicate \u2014 reference the existing task ID instead. The board already contains all active tasks; re-creating them wastes IDs and bloats the board.
236
+ **\u26A0\uFE0F ALREADY-BUILT CHECK:** Before creating a task, check the recent build reports and cycle log for evidence that this capability was already shipped. If a recent build report shows this feature was completed (even under a different task name), do NOT create a new task for it. This is especially important for UI features, data models, and integrations that may already exist.
237
+
238
+ 12. **Product Brief** \u2014 Check whether the product brief still reflects reality. Update the brief when ANY of these apply:
239
+ - A new AD was created or an existing AD was superseded that changes product scope, target user, or positioning
240
+ - The North Star changed or was validated in a way that the brief doesn't reflect
241
+ - A phase completed that shifts what the product IS (not just what was built)
242
+ - The brief describes capabilities, architecture, or direction that are no longer accurate
243
+ - **DRIFT CHECK:** Compare the brief's content against current reality. The brief is drifted if: (a) it describes capabilities that don't exist or have been removed, (b) it references user types, architecture, or positioning that ADs have since changed, (c) the current phase/stage has shifted from what the brief describes, or (d) key metrics or success criteria no longer match the project's direction. Cycle count since last update is a secondary signal only \u2014 a brief updated 15 cycles ago that still accurately describes the product is NOT stale. A brief updated 3 cycles ago that contradicts a recent AD IS drifted.
244
+ If any of these apply, include an updated \`productBrief\` in the structured output. Include the FULL updated brief (not a diff). Preserve all existing sections and user-added content; update facts, numbers, and status to reflect current reality. Do not regenerate the brief every cycle \u2014 but do not let it go stale either.
245
+
246
+ 13. **Forward Horizon** \u2014 If a Forward Horizon section is provided in the context below, write a "## Forward Horizon" section in Part 1. Surface 2-3 decisions the team should make before the next phase starts. Each item must be:
247
+ - **Specific** \u2014 reference the upcoming phase by name and the architectural fork or tradeoff involved
248
+ - **Actionable** \u2014 frame as a decision to make, not a vague warning (e.g. "Decide whether to use WebSockets or SSE for real-time updates before starting Phase 4: Real-Time Features")
249
+ - **Tied to trajectory** \u2014 based on current board state, ADs, and velocity, not generic advice
250
+ If the Forward Horizon context is absent or there are no meaningful decisions to surface, omit this section entirely. Do NOT generate generic advice like "plan ahead" or "consider testing".
251
+
252
+ **CRITICAL: Review your Part 2 JSON before finishing. Every action from Part 1 must have a corresponding entry in Part 2. If Part 1 mentions corrections, new tasks, AD changes, or handoffs but Part 2 has empty arrays \u2014 you have a persistence bug.**`;

418
+
419
+ ## OUTPUT PRINCIPLES
420
+
421
+ - **Full depth, not thin summaries.** Each mandatory section must be substantive \u2014 multiple paragraphs with specific evidence, not compressed bullet points. The reader should understand cross-cycle patterns, not just individual cycle events. If a section would be under 3 sentences, you haven't gone deep enough.
422
+ - **Lead with insight, not data recitation.** Open each section with the strategic takeaway or pattern, THEN support it with cycle data and task references. Bad: "C131 built task-700, C132 built task-710." Good: "The last 5 cycles show a clear shift from infrastructure to user-facing work \u2014 80% of tasks were dashboard or onboarding, up from 30% in the prior review window."
423
+ - **Cycle data first, conversation context second.** Base your review on build reports, cycle logs, board state, and ADs \u2014 not on whatever was discussed earlier in the conversation. If recent conversation context conflicts with the data, flag it but trust the data.
424
+ - **Every conditional section earns its place.** If a conditional section has nothing meaningful to say, skip it entirely. Do not write "No issues found" or "No concerns" \u2014 just omit the section. But the 6 mandatory sections MUST appear with full depth regardless.
425
+
426
+ ## TWO-PHASE DELIVERY
427
+
428
+ This review is delivered in two phases:
429
+ 1. **Phase 1 (this output):** Present the full review \u2014 all 6 mandatory sections with complete analysis, plus any relevant conditional sections. Do NOT compress, summarise, or abbreviate. The user needs to read and discuss the full review before actions are taken.
430
+ 2. **Phase 2 (after user discussion):** The structured action breakdown in Part 2 captures concrete next steps. But the user may refine, reject, or add to these after reading Phase 1. The structured output represents your best autonomous assessment \u2014 the user's feedback in conversation refines it.
431
+
432
+ Present the full review first. Let the analysis breathe. The user will discuss, push back, and refine before acting on the structured output.
433
+
434
+ ## YOUR JOB \u2014 STRUCTURED COVERAGE
435
+
436
+ You MUST cover these 6 sections. Each is mandatory unless explicitly noted as conditional.
437
+
438
+ 1. **Cycle-by-Cycle Impact Summary** \u2014 For each cycle since the last review, summarise what was strategically significant \u2014 not just velocity numbers. What capability was added? What blocker was removed? What direction shifted? Reference task IDs. This is the most important section \u2014 it tells the reader what actually happened and why it mattered.
439
+
440
+ 2. **Horizon & Phase Progress** \u2014 Is the current horizon/phase plan on track? What phase are we in? What's been completed? What's blocked? If a phase prerequisite is unmet or a decision is pending that blocks the next phase, flag it here. Reference the Forward Horizon if available.
441
+
442
+ 3. **New Tasks & Ideas Since Last Review** \u2014 Count new backlog tasks added since the last review. Assess alignment: are they supporting the current phase/horizon, or drifting toward unrelated work? Flag any clustering patterns (e.g. "5 of 7 new tasks are MCP Server improvements \u2014 this is on-strategy" or "3 new tasks are commercial features with no alpha testers \u2014 premature").
443
+
444
+ 4. **What Changed Strategically** \u2014 Decisions made, direction shifts, carry-forward items resolved or created since last review. Did any strategy_change calls happen? Were any ADs created, modified, or superseded? This section answers: "If I missed the last N cycles, what changed about where this project is going?"
445
+
446
+ 5. **North Star & Product Direction** \u2014 Go beyond "is the North Star still accurate?" and challenge the product direction:
447
+ - Is the product brief still an accurate description of what this product IS and WHERE it's going? If ADs have been created or superseded since the brief was last updated, the brief may be wrong.
448
+ - Has the target user changed? Has the scope expanded or contracted in ways the brief doesn't capture?
449
+ - Are we building for the right problem? Has evidence emerged (from builds, feedback, or market) that the core problem statement needs revision?
450
+ - Assess North Star drift: Does the North Star's key metric and success definition still align with the current phase, active ADs, and recent build directions? A North Star is drifted when: the metric it tracks is no longer the team's focus, the success criteria reference capabilities that have been deprioritised, or ADs have shifted the product direction away from what the North Star describes. Cycle count since last update is a secondary signal \u2014 a stable, accurate North Star is not stale regardless of age.
451
+ If this analysis reveals the brief needs updating, you MUST include updated content in \`productBriefUpdates\` in Part 2. Don't just note "the brief is stale" \u2014 write the update.
452
+
453
+ 6. **Active Decision Review + Scoring** \u2014 For each non-superseded AD: is the confidence level still correct? Has evidence emerged that changes anything? Score on 5 dimensions (1-5, lower = better):
454
+ - **effort** \u2014 Implementation cost (1=trivial, 5=major project)
455
+ - **risk** \u2014 Likelihood of failure or rework (1=safe, 5=unproven)
456
+ - **reversibility** \u2014 How hard to undo (1=trivial rollback, 5=permanent)
457
+ - **scale_cost** \u2014 What this costs at 10x/100x users or data (1=negligible, 5=bottleneck)
458
+ - **lock_in** \u2014 Dependency on a specific vendor/tool (1=swappable, 5=deeply coupled)
459
+ Only score ADs where you have enough context to evaluate meaningfully \u2014 skip ADs where scoring would be guesswork.
460
+ **AD Quality Bar:** ADs are for product and architecture choices that constrain future work \u2014 technology selections, data model designs, UX principles, strategic positioning. They are NOT for: process preferences (commit style, PR size), configuration choices (linter rules, tab width), or temporary workarounds. If a decision doesn't affect what gets built or how it's architected, it's not an AD. Flag any existing ADs that fail this bar for deletion via \`activeDecisionUpdates\` with action \`delete\`.
461
+ **IMPORTANT:** If your analysis recommends changing an AD's confidence, modifying its body, or creating a new AD, you MUST include it in \`activeDecisionUpdates\` in Part 2. Analysis without persistence is waste \u2014 the next plan won't see your recommendation unless it's in the structured output.
462
+
463
+ ## CONDITIONAL SECTIONS (include only when relevant)
464
+
465
+ 7. **Security Posture Review** \u2014 Only if \`[SECURITY]\` tags exist in recent cycle logs. List flagged concerns, resolution status, trend, and recommendations.
466
+
467
+ 8. **Dogfood Friction \u2192 Task Conversion** \u2014 Scan dogfood log entries (if provided in context) for recurring friction points. For each friction entry, decide: convert to task (yes/no). Convert when a friction point has appeared 2+ times without a corresponding board task. Cap at 3 task proposals per review.
468
+ **How to convert friction to tasks:**
469
+ - In Part 1, write a "Dogfood Friction \u2192 Tasks" subsection listing each friction entry and your decision (convert or skip with reason).
470
+ - For each converted friction, add an entry to \`actionItems\` in Part 2 with \`type: "submit"\` and a descriptive \`description\` that includes the task title and scope. Example: \`{"description": "Submit task: Fix deprioritise clearing handoffs unnecessarily \u2014 add flag to preserve handoff on deprioritise", "type": "submit", "target": null}\`
471
+ - If friction points have been addressed by recent builds, note the resolution and skip them.
472
+ - This closes the loop between "we noticed a problem" and "we created a task to fix it."
473
+ ${compressionJob}
474
+ 9. **Architecture Health Check** \u2014 Scan the project context for structural issues that silently degrade quality. Only flag genuine findings \u2014 do not add boilerplate. Check for:
475
+ - **Broken data paths** \u2014 DB tables that exist but aren't being read by the dashboard, file reads returning empty, API routes with no consumers. Cycle 42 showed an empty product brief going undetected for multiple cycles \u2014 this check catches that class of problem.
476
+ - **Adapter parity gaps** \u2014 Features implemented in the pg adapter but missing from md (or vice versa). Both adapters must implement the same PapiAdapter interface, but runtime behavior can diverge.
477
+ - **Config drift** \u2014 Environment variables referenced in code but not documented, stale .env.example entries, MCP config mismatches between what the server expects and what setup/init generates.
478
+ - **Dead dependencies** \u2014 Packages in package.json that are no longer imported anywhere. These add install time and attack surface.
479
+ - **Stale prompts or instructions** \u2014 Cycle numbers, AD references, or project-state assumptions in prompts.ts or CLAUDE.md that no longer match reality.
480
+ - **Stage readiness gaps** \u2014 If the project is approaching or entering an access-widening stage (e.g. Alpha Distribution, Alpha Cohort, Public Launch), check that auth/security phases are complete. Stages that widen who can access the product must have auth hardening and security review as prerequisites \u2014 not post-hoc discoveries.
481
+ Report findings in a brief "Architecture Health" section in Part 1. If no issues found, skip the section entirely \u2014 do not write "No issues found".
482
+
483
+ 10. **Discovery Canvas Audit** \u2014 If a Discovery Canvas section is provided in context, audit it for completeness and staleness. For each of the 5 canvas sections (Landscape & References, User Journeys, MVP Boundary, Assumptions & Open Questions, Success Signals):
484
+ - If the section is **empty** and the project has run 5+ cycles, flag it as a gap and suggest a specific enrichment prompt (e.g. "Consider defining your MVP boundary \u2014 what's in v1 and what's deferred?").
485
+ - If the section has content, assess whether it's still accurate given recent builds and decisions. Flag stale assumptions or outdated references.
486
+ - If no Discovery Canvas is provided in context, note that the canvas hasn't been initialized and recommend starting with the highest-value section for the project's maturity.
487
+ Report findings in a "Discovery Canvas Audit" section in Part 1. Persist findings in the \`discoveryGaps\` array in Part 2. If no gaps found, omit the section and use an empty array.
488
+
489
+ 11. **Hierarchy Assessment** \u2014 If hierarchy data (Horizons \u2192 Stages \u2192 Phases with task counts) is provided in context, assess the full project structure:
490
+ **Phase-level:**
491
+ - A phase marked "In Progress" with all tasks Done \u2192 flag as ready to close.
492
+ - A phase marked "Done" with active Backlog/In Progress tasks \u2192 flag as incorrectly closed.
493
+ - A phase marked "Not Started" while later-ordered phases are active \u2192 flag as out-of-sequence.
494
+ - If builds in this review window created tasks that don't fit existing phases \u2192 suggest a new phase.
495
+ **Stage-level:**
496
+ - If all phases in a stage are Done \u2192 flag the stage as ready to complete. This is a significant milestone.
497
+ - If the current stage has been active for 15+ cycles \u2192 assess whether it should be split or whether progress is genuinely slow.
498
+ - If work is happening in phases that belong to a future stage while the current stage has incomplete phases \u2192 flag as scope leak.
499
+ **Horizon-level:**
500
+ - If all stages in the active horizon are complete \u2192 flag for Horizon Review (biggest-picture reflection).
501
+ - If no phase data is provided, skip this section.
502
+ Report findings in a "Hierarchy Assessment" section in Part 1. Persist findings in the \`stalePhases\` array in Part 2 (include stage/horizon observations too). If no issues found, omit the section and use an empty array.
503
+
504
+ 12. **Structural Drift Detection** \u2014 If decision usage data is provided in context, identify structural decay using drift-based criteria (not pure cycle counts):
505
+ - **AD drift:** An AD is drifted when its content contradicts recent build evidence, references architecture/capabilities that no longer exist, or has been made redundant by newer ADs. Reference frequency is a secondary signal \u2014 an unreferenced AD that is still accurate is not necessarily stale; an AD referenced last cycle that contradicts shipped code IS drifted.
506
+ - **Carry-forward drift:** Carry-forward items that have persisted across **3+ cycles** without resolution \u2192 flag as stuck.
507
+ - **Confidence drift:** ADs with LOW confidence that have not gained supporting evidence within 5 cycles \u2192 flag as unvalidated. ADs where build reports contradict the decision \u2192 flag as confidence should decrease.
508
+ Use decision usage data as a secondary signal (unreferenced ADs are more likely to be drifted, but verify by checking content alignment). Report findings in a "Structural Drift" section in Part 1. Persist findings in the \`staleDecisions\` array in Part 2. If no issues found, omit the section and use an empty array.

510
+ ## OUTPUT FORMAT
511
+
512
+ Your output has TWO parts:
513
+
514
+ ### Part 1: Natural Language Output
515
+ Write your full Strategy Review in markdown. Cover the 6 mandatory sections in order:
516
+ 1. **Cycle-by-Cycle Impact Summary** \u2014 what was built and why it mattered
517
+ 2. **Horizon & Phase Progress** \u2014 current phase status, blockers, next phase readiness
518
+ 3. **New Tasks & Ideas** \u2014 count, alignment assessment, clustering patterns
519
+ 4. **What Changed Strategically** \u2014 decisions, direction shifts, carry-forward resolutions
520
+ 5. **North Star Validation** \u2014 still accurate? validated or stale?
521
+ 6. **Active Decision Review + Scoring** \u2014 per-AD assessment with scores
522
+
523
+ Then include conditional sections only if relevant:
524
+ - **Security Posture Review** \u2014 only if [SECURITY] tags exist
525
+ - **Dogfood Friction \u2192 Tasks** \u2014 only if dogfood entries show recurring unaddressed friction
526
+ - **Architecture Health** \u2014 only if issues found
527
+ - **Discovery Canvas Audit** \u2014 only if gaps or staleness found
528
+ - **Hierarchy Assessment** \u2014 only if hierarchy staleness, phase closure, or stage progression signals detected
529
+ - **Structural Drift** \u2014 only if drifted ADs or stuck carry-forwards found${compressionPart1}

603

604
+ ## PERSISTENCE RULES \u2014 READ THIS CAREFULLY
605
+
606
+ Everything in Part 1 (natural language) is **display-only**. Part 2 (structured JSON) is what gets written to files.
607
+
608
+ **If you analysed it in Part 1, it MUST appear in Part 2 to persist. Empty arrays/null = nothing saved.**
609
+
610
+ - Recommended AD changes in Part 1? \u2192 Put them in \`activeDecisionUpdates\` with full body including ### heading. Use \`delete\` action (with empty body) to permanently remove non-strategic ADs (implementation details, resolved decisions, library choices). Use \`supersede\` when a decision is replaced by a new one.
611
+ - Scored ADs in Part 1? \u2192 Put scores in \`decisionScores\` array with id, dimensions, and rationale
612
+ - Identified proven insights, direction changes, or deprecated approaches? \u2192 Put the full updated product brief in \`productBriefUpdates\`. This is how strategic learnings get locked into the project's institutional memory. Common triggers: a phase completing, a hypothesis being validated/invalidated, a new constraint emerging, or the North Star evolving.${compressionPersistence}
613
+ - Wrote a strategy review in Part 1? \u2192 \`sessionLogTitle\`, \`sessionLogContent\`, \`velocityAssessment\`, \`strategicRecommendations\` must all be populated
614
+ - Made recommendations in Part 1? \u2192 Extract each into \`actionItems\` with a specific type (resolve/submit/close/investigate/defer) and target (AD-N, task-NNN, phase name, or null). Every recommendation must have an action item \u2014 this is how they get tracked and surfaced to the next plan
615
+ - Converted dogfood friction to tasks in Part 1? \u2192 Each converted friction must appear as an \`actionItem\` with \`type: "submit"\`. If it's not in \`actionItems\`, it won't be tracked \u2014 the next plan will never see it
616
+ - Noticed friction, methodology insights, or signals while reviewing? \u2192 Put them in \`dogfoodObservations\` with a category (friction/methodology/signal/commercial). These get stored in the DB and fed into future plans. Friction = things that slow down or break the workflow. Methodology = what works or doesn't in the plan/build/review cycle. Signal = data points or patterns worth tracking. Commercial = insights relevant to pricing, positioning, or GTM
617
+
618
+ **CRITICAL: Review your Part 2 JSON before finishing. Every action from Part 1 must have a corresponding entry in Part 2.**`;

969
+ - Keep each AD body to 4-6 lines \u2014 concise and scannable
970
