 **Build progress anchor — load-bearing (never omit, render per surface):** Every TOP-LEVEL user-facing message in `/ritual build` and `/ritual resume` MUST begin with a progress anchor before any other content. The anchor is the user's only "where am I in the flow" signal; dropping it silently is worse than printing it redundantly. The agent was historically inferring the rail from examples and squeezing it out under any pressure — this rule makes it explicit, with the exact rendering chosen per surface so the anchor doesn't wrap badly on narrow chat or duplicate a persistent UI stepper.

 **How the agent picks the surface:**
 
 - Default to **CLI / terminal** rendering. This SKILL exists primarily to drive CLI surfaces (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc. in their built-in terminals).
 - If the host signals a non-terminal surface via context (mobile-app chat embedding, web-app chat UI, etc.), drop to the compact chip.

+**Forward-pointing CTAs (load-bearing):** every advancing option at a `[USER PAUSE]` gate must name its DESTINATION in user language — never a bare "to continue" / "to proceed". Two accepted shapes:
+
+- inline parenthetical on the action line: `proceed (generate the {Deliverable})`
+- spelled-out reply line: ``Reply `proceed` to frame the problem (sub-problems + problem statement), or …``
+
+Canonical destinations (use these; don't improvise):
+
+| Gate | Advancing token | Destination phrase |
+|---|---|---|
+| Job gate (0.7) | `proceed` | frame the problem (sub-problems + problem statement) |
+| Problem frame (5) | `use` | review discovery questions |
+| Suggested-12 landing (7.3.1) | `proceed` | run discovery with these 12 (commits the set; run confirmation follows) |
+| Expert-walk summary (7.4) | `commit` | run discovery → recommendations (~a few minutes) |
+| Run gate (8) | `run` | source answers → generate recommendations |
+| Recommendations (9/9.1) | `proceed` | generate the {Deliverable} (the job's deliverable name from the rail) |
+| Audit gate (9.6.1) | `proceed` | skip the audit and generate the {Deliverable} |
+| Brief gate (10d) | `go` | implement in your agent |
+| Plan handoff (11.0.5) | `ready` | generate the implementation plan |
+
+`{Deliverable}` = the rail's stage-5 name (deliverable-named rail). The destination phrase, the rail's next stage, and what actually happens next must tell ONE story.
+
+**Universal advance alias:** `proceed` is silently accepted at EVERY advancing gate, mapped to that gate's primary token (`use`, `run`, `commit`, `go`, `ready`, …) — the user only ever needs one word. It is NOT displayed as an extra option. Exception already specified elsewhere: at the discovery pick gate an ambiguous `proceed` means **accept shortlist**, never accept-all. `next` is NOT a universal alias — it has gate-local meaning in the discovery Area walk (expert mode).

-The FIRST rail stage is `Scope`. **There is no `Context` stage** — workspace pick, resume/start check, template resolution, and **code recon** all happen as **silent plumbing inside Scope**, never as a visible rail stage.

Naming hazard: `/ritual recon` was retired as a command surface, so don't reuse `Recon`/`Context` at the rail level.
+The FIRST rail stage is `Job` — the Step 0.7 Job gate (classification + confirmation of the job to be done; on resume paths the gate is skipped and the rail opens with `Job` already `✓`). **There is no `Context` stage** — workspace pick, resume/start check, and template resolution all happen as **silent plumbing inside Scope**, never as a visible rail stage. The grounding **code recon** runs silently AFTER the frame locks (build-flow § Step 5.7) and is not surfaced by default; only narrate repo inspection if the user explicitly asks. Naming hazard: `/ritual recon` was retired as a command surface, so don't reuse `Recon`/`Context` at the rail level.
 
 **Canonical ordering (only the active marker moves):**
 
 ```
-Scope → Discovery → Recommendations → Build brief → Implementation (Your agent)
+Job → Scope → Discovery → Recommendations → {Deliverable} → Implementation (Your agent — development jobs only)
 ```
 
+The rail is **deliverable-named and function-shaped** (2026-06-11): stage 5 carries the job's own deliverable name, and stage 6 exists only for development-function jobs. The timeline is the promise — a Launch Brief job promises a Launch Brief, not a code handoff. Before the job is confirmed (the Job gate itself), render the PROPOSED classification's deliverable; a correction updates the rail on the next render.

 #### Inline pulses — surface reasoning readiness climbing as context debt drops
 
 After **Steps 3, 5, 7.4, 8, 9, and 10**, emit a one-line **context pulse** showing how the score moved. This is the visible encouragement loop — the user watches **reasoning readiness** climb (or equivalently, **context debt** drop) with each step instead of just feeling like the agent is asking for more inputs.
 
 The pulse rule and visual specs live in the [§ /ritual context-pulse](#ritual-context-pulse) section below — see *Step CP5 — visual modes*. TL;DR:
 
-- **Compact (single line)** is the default. Use the full capitalized labels — `Reasoning Readiness` and `Context Debt` — NOT lowercase `readiness` / `debt`:
-  - `Pulse: Reasoning Readiness 72% · Context Debt 28% · +24% (decision resolution)`
-- **Full (with bars + Reasoning Readiness / Context Debt / Context Surface labels)** when crossing a state-tier boundary, jumping ≥15%, or regressing
-- The pulse line goes BEFORE the existing "next step" prompt for that step — it's an additive line, not a replacement
+The pulse has TWO parts, and they sit in DIFFERENT places — the score at the top of the message (status: where you are), and the **lift bridge** immediately above the action line (motivation: why your next move matters).
+
+  ```text
+  Pulse: Reasoning Readiness 58% · Context Debt 42% · +3% (scope locked)
+
+  {…the step's content…}
+
+  Most of the gap left is unsettled design decisions — that's exactly what
+  the next step, discovery, resolves.
+  Reply  proceed (run discovery → recommendations)  ·  expert  ·  pause
+  ```
+
+  - **Score line** (top of the message). Full capitalized labels — `Reasoning Readiness` and `Context Debt`, NOT lowercase. The **`· +N%` delta is MANDATORY** on every pulse after the first (the first pulse has no prior, so it shows just the baseline + reason). The delta is the visible-progress signal — never drop it. Show `+0%` honestly if a step didn't move the score, and `−N%` on a regression (rare; render full then).
+  - **Lift bridge** (ONE sentence, immediately ABOVE the action/CTA line — NOT under the score). This is the load-bearing piece: it turns the score into a reason to proceed. Three requirements:
+    1. **Plain language for the gap — NEVER the internal dimension name.** The lowest dimension from `score_context_pulse`'s breakdown picks the message, but the user sees what it MEANS, not the label:
+       | lowest dimension (internal) | what the user reads (plain) |
+       |---|---|
+       | `decisionResolution` | the design decisions aren't settled yet |
+       | `repoGrounding` | the plan isn't grounded in your code yet |
+       | `assumptionSafety` | some assumptions are still unverified |
+       | `featureClarity` | what exactly to build is still fuzzy |
+    2. **Name the NEXT STEP as the resolver, explicitly.** The bridge must make clear that the action the user is about to take is what closes the gap — `that's exactly what the next step, discovery, resolves` / `code recon next grounds it` / `the build brief locks those down`. The bridge and the forward-CTA below it name the SAME move — one story.
+    3. **Terse + declarative** — no `now let me help you improve this` assistant/affect register (`cli-experience-tenets.md`).
+    On the LAST scoreable step (Step 10, implementation-ready), there's no further lift — the bridge becomes the readiness statement: `The brief is your build path — implement when ready.`
+- **Full (with bars + Reasoning Readiness / Context Debt / Context Surface labels)** when crossing a state-tier boundary, jumping ≥15%, or regressing. Full mode keeps the same `+N%` delta on the score line and the same lift bridge above the CTA.
+- The score line goes near the top of the step's message; the lift bridge goes right before the action line. Both are additive, not replacements.
 - Prefer `mcp__ritual__score_context_pulse` (one canonical server-side call, persisted for trend reporting); fall back to deterministic agent-side counts only if the tool errors. No LLM call in the hot path either way.
 
 **Why full labels (load-bearing):** Users read `28% debt` as a vague accounting number. They read `Context Debt 28%` as a named concept with weight — the same name they'd see in `/ritual context-pulse`'s full view, in the score breakdown, in the docs. Consistency across compact and full forms means the user doesn't have to translate.
