 **Comet is a resumable long-running task workflow and Skill platform for coding.**
 
-It uses a unified cross-platform runtime to connect OpenSpec artifacts, Superpowers execution methodology, Skill creation, evaluation, and release into a closed-loop workflow. 
+It provides two independent requirements workflows: Native for strong models, powered only by Comet's own runtime, and Classic, which preserves the full OpenSpec + Superpowers phase-governance model. Comet also covers Skill creation, evaluation, and release.
 
 It allows you to use a toolchain to handle everything from requirements to archiving, combine any skill to make it like Comet, evolving your skills based on scientific **Rubric**, **Pass@k**, and **Pass^k** scoring.
 
 > [!IMPORTANT]
-> **0.4.0-beta.1** — Comet has been upgraded to a pure Node runtime (no longer dependent on Bash/WSL) and brings three core capabilities: use `/comet-any` to combine **any** skill into a custom workflow, use `comet eval` to evaluate **any** skill and integrate it into the LangSmith system, and use `comet dashboard` to visualize each change in the browser.
+> **0.4.0-beta.7** — A new **high-performance, native and recoverable** Native workflow has been added. Native and Classic work independently through unified configuration, status, Guard, Dashboard, and Eval entry points. Eval alignment of experiments (16 tasks × 48 runs, selecting 41 pairs of samples that both passed) shows that **total Token has decreased by 76.8%**, **Agent rounds have dropped by 57.4%**, **time consumption has shrunk by 47.4%**, **pass^3 reaches 87.5% (+12.5pp) and pass@3 is 100%**. For more details, please refer to [Native vs. 0.4.0 Classic Real Evaluation](https://docs.comet.rpamis.com/zh/eval/comet-native-vs-040-experiment).
+> 
+> **0.4.0-beta.1** — Upgrades Comet to a pure Node runtime without Bash/WSL and adds three core capabilities: compose **any** Skill through `/comet-any`, evaluate **any** Skill through `comet eval` with LangSmith integration, and visualize every change through `comet dashboard`.
 >
 > **0.3.9** — Review mode (`off|standard|thorough`) controls Build/Verify code review with project defaults; init/update now use optional dependency prompts, broader CLI i18n, stronger phase guards, and macOS executable bits.
 >
-> **0.3.8** — Adds Kimi Code support, safe multi-platform `comet uninstall`, extended subagent dispatch, shared progressive-loading references, update checks, and pre-commit formatting.
->
-> **0.3.7** — Adds CodeGraph semantic indexing, Beta context compression, active context compression, token optimizations, `auto_transition`, phase guards, optional TDD, and safer archive/verification flow.
->
-> See [NEWS.md](NEWS.md) for details.
+> See the website [Changelog](https://docs.comet.rpamis.com/en/changelog) for details.
 
-> Combining OpenSpec and Superpowers is not Comet's ultimate goal. We hope to track long-running skills like these and find the Harness capabilities that enable stable execution of long-running skills. If you are interested in participating, you are welcome to contribute to our project or learn from our source code.
+> Native and Classic are not lightweight and heavyweight tiers, and neither upgrades into the other. Native is for strong models that can plan and verify autonomously; Classic is for scenarios that benefit from a complete phased methodology and stronger constraints.
 
 ## Why Comet
 
-- **The stable core for long-running tasks** — Comet's Classic Spec mode combines OpenSpec and Superpowers with a state
-  machine, phase guards, and scripts that connect the full lifecycle. Agents can only do the work allowed in the current
-  phase and can only exit after the phase work is complete. The core flow can advance automatically, with HITL only at
-  moments that need your confirmation.
-- **Resumable workflow and intelligent routing** — Comet uses intent recognition to route each task toward the path it
-  needs. `/comet` remembers where a change stopped, supports zero-context recovery across devices, and removes the need
-  to memorize long Skill command names: use `/comet` to advance or resume your work.
+- **Native workflow for strong models** — `/comet-native` uses a detailed brief, complete target specifications, phase checks, and recoverable archive to constrain outcomes while leaving planning, implementation, testing, and review methods to the model. It uses a configurable `comet/` artifact root and remains fully separate from Classic. See the [Native workflow guide](https://docs.comet.rpamis.com/en/native/quickstart).
+- **The stable core for long-running tasks** — Comet's Classic Spec mode combines OpenSpec and Superpowers into a five-phase flow with a state machine, phase checks, and scripts. It suits work that needs an explicit method and strong constraints; its permanent entry point is `/comet-classic`.
+- **A configuration-driven shared entry point** — `/comet` reads only the project's `.comet/config.yaml` and deterministically forwards to `/comet-native` or `/comet-classic`. It does not guess from task size or mix changes, state, or directories across workflows. `comet resume-probe` uses the same configuration to resume through the correct permanent entry point.
 - **Skill platform** — Comet can author reusable Skill packages and use `/comet-any` to organize them into distributable
   Bundles, so Skills you create can be distributed to coding platforms with one command, much like `comet init`.
 - **Eval platform** — Comet assesses your skills using scientific Rubric, Pass@k, and Pass^k scoring, ensuring skill evolution is based on scientific evidence rather than intuition. It supports integration with LangSmith assessments, bringing evaluation to real-world enterprise production environments. Its dual-agent architecture automates the assessment process in your production environment.

+Interactive setup explains and offers Native, Classic, or both. Native is for strong models that can implement and verify autonomously; Classic is for tasks that need full Spec/TDD phase constraints; Both installs two independent entries while keeping `/comet` on Native by default. Non-interactive new projects default to Native, and project configuration is unified at `.comet/config.yaml`:
+
+```bash
+comet init --workflow classic
+comet init --workflow both

+Generated configuration comments follow the language selected during installation. Ambient Resume is a shared project setting for Native and Classic; disable the read-only probe with:

+```yaml
+# Enables the read-only Ambient Resume probe for both Native and Classic
+ambient_resume: false

+user approval; the agent chooses its own planning and implementation methods. Native runtime owns state, verification
+evidence, and recovery data under `docs/comet/` by default.

+| Build     | The agent chooses its own planning, implementation, testing, and review methods; checkpoints are optional | A computable implementation scope; ordinary source writes occur only in Build |
+| Verify    | Check stable acceptance IDs and write executions, skipped checks, risks, and evidence to `verification.md` | Pass advances to Archive; failure returns to Build through bounded repair |
+| Archive   | Run read-only preflight, check canonical-spec concurrency, then sync specs and move the complete change | The confirmed preflight is still current and the archive transaction commits |
+
+Shape supports `clarification_mode: sequential` and `clarification_mode: batch`. Sequential asks one upstream question per round; Batch asks every currently answerable question whose prerequisites are settled. In both modes, the agent investigates discoverable facts and writes user decisions back into the brief and complete target specs.

+Native can keep multiple active changes at the same time. `comet status` lists the candidates, while `.comet/current-change.json` selects ownership for the current request; it does not limit the project to one change. Missing, stale, or ambiguous selection stops resume and writes for an explicit choice instead of guessing another change or switching to Classic.
+
+Runtime owns revisions, hashes, evidence references, and transaction state in `comet-state.yaml` and `runtime/`. When requirements change, update the brief or proposed specs and let commands recompute the contract; do not hand-edit phases, hashes, or JSON evidence to bypass checks.

+
+1. **Clarification blocking** — Shape persists unresolved implementation decisions as blocking questions. Batch mode also requires explicit shared-understanding confirmation before Build.
+2. **Approval bound to requirements** — Approval is bound to the contract hash of the brief and complete target specs; requirement changes invalidate stale approval.
+3. **Auditable implementation scope** — Creation records a complete baseline, and leaving Build derives a content-addressed implementation scope from before/after snapshots instead of agent claims.
+4. **Acceptance and verification evidence** — Runtime derives stable acceptance IDs and binds each to project evidence, a skipped reason, and optional read-only check receipts. Contract, scope, or report changes make stale evidence unusable.
+5. **In-phase recovery and repair** — Checkpoints persist progress and artifact manifests with freshness checks. Repeated no-progress failures enter a bounded repair episode, while real implementation progress resets the stall decision.
+6. **Protected files and transactions** — Run, trajectory, checkpoints, and evidence use protected I/O. Archive and artifact-root moves use recoverable transactions, CAS, and locks; doctor explicitly continues or rolls back interrupted work.
+7. **Unified guards without merged workflows** — Each platform installs one Rule and one Hook Router. The Router invokes Native Guard from current ownership; Native permits ordinary implementation writes only in Build and keeps its phases, schema, directories, and Guard independent from Classic.
