 ## Installation
 
-Hedgehog installs **into your repo**, not into your editor. The agents and
-skills land in `.claude/` and get committed alongside your code — because
-the discipline is only real if it travels with the project, versioned and
-visible to your team and CI.
-
-From the root of the repo you want to build with Hedgehog:
+From an empty project folder:
 
 ``` bash
 npx @skyf0xx/hedgehog init
 ```
 
-This copies:
-
-- `src/agents/*` → `.claude/agents/` — the `planner`, `ui-builder`, and
-  `reviewer` roles
-- `src/skills/*` → `.claude/skills/` — `hedgehog-bootstrap`,
-  `hedgehog-loop`, and `conventional-commits`
-- `CLAUDE.md` and `TODO.md` templates into the repo root
-
-If a target file already exists, `init` warns and stops without touching
-it. Re-run with `--force` to overwrite:
-
-``` bash
-npx @skyf0xx/hedgehog init --force
-```
-
-Then commit the `.claude/` payload, open Claude Code, and say:
+Then open Claude Code and say:

-That triggers the `hedgehog-bootstrap` skill, which scaffolds the stack and
-wires the enforcement config (Nx boundaries, lefthook, commitlint, phase

+
+### Interview formatting
+
+The interview is the whole UI — there's no screen to lean on, so
+structure carries the weight a layout normally would. Keep a light,
+consistent set of markers so the person can tell at a glance what kind of
+turn they're reading, without turning the transcript noisy:
+
+- A bold section title on entering a new stage (`**Scope**`,
+  `**Domain vocabulary**`, `**Confirm & lock**`) — once per stage, not
+  once per message.
+- 🧭 for the opening brain-dump prompt, ❓ for a single follow-up
+  question, 🔍 for reading supplied material (a screenshot, a
+  spreadsheet), 📋 for a synthesis recap, 🔒 for the final confirmation
+  gate. One icon per turn, at most — this marks the kind of turn, it
+  isn't decoration.
+- Tables for anything tabular (scope boundary, vocabulary) — never
+  prose pretending to be a table.
+- Short paragraphs, one question per turn (already required below) —
+  never stack multiple asks in one block just because both fit.
+
+This applies to every Intake turn from here on, not just the ones
+below.
+
+### Confidence tracking
+
+Track a running confidence estimate for "I know what this person
+actually wants" — not "I have enough to start guessing." Confidence
+rises only when an answer resolves genuine ambiguity; a detail that
+just restates something already clear doesn't move it.
+
+State it out loud periodically as elicitation progresses — after
+synthesis produces a draft, and any time confidence is low enough that
+continuing to guess would be worse than asking:
+
+> Confidence: ~70% — clear on the core flow and the actors, still open
+> on what "cancel" means once payment's been taken, and whether
+> `status` is a single lifecycle or independent tags.
+
+Keep asking until confidence reaches **95%**: every module has a
+resolved "owned by," at least one out-of-scope item has surfaced, and
+no term is doing double duty for two different lifecycles (see "When
+to ask instead of guess," below). 95% is a floor on understanding
+what's real, not a ceiling on how much detail to gather — don't pad the
+interview past the point where more questions stop resolving
+ambiguity. If the person answers "I don't know, just pick something,"
+that's a resolved answer (their call, recorded as such) — it moves
+confidence up, not down.
+
+Never silently settle for "what I think they should want." If a
+guess would fill a gap, surface it as a candidate to confirm or
+correct instead of writing it into the draft unchallenged — this is
+the same move as "offering a candidate boundary... to confirm or
+correct" below, applied to every gap, not just scope.

+  flagged.
+- The confidence estimate, and what it's based on (e.g. "95% — every
+  module has a resolved owner, one out-of-scope item confirmed, no
+  double-duty terms remaining").
+
+Then state plainly what happens on confirmation, before it happens:
+
+> This locks in `docs/context.md` and the per-module design notes, and
+> starts Phase A build (schema first) on the first module. Anything
+> wrong or missing — say so now; it's a normal edit before this point,
+> and a Correction Protocol entry after. Confirm to proceed, or tell me
+> what to change.
+
+Wait for an explicit go-ahead. A revision here is just another
+elicitation turn — update the draft, re-run this stage, don't write
+anything until the confirmation holds. Don't lower the bar because the
+person seems eager to start; the cost of a wrong schema is exactly why

 ### 1. Nx workspace + `packages/config`
 
+The installer has already placed files at the repo root (`.claude/`, the
+`CLAUDE.md`/`TODO.md` templates, a minimal root `package.json`, and git).
+`create-nx-workspace` refuses a non-empty directory, so scaffold Nx *in
+place* instead — `nx init` tolerates the existing files and merges into
+them (appends to `.gitignore`, injects an Nx block into `CLAUDE.md` between
+marker comments, adds `nx` to the root `package.json`):
+
 ```bash
-npx create-nx-workspace@latest . --preset=ts --pm=pnpm --nxCloud=skip

+`nx init` needs the root `package.json` the installer dropped — without
+one it falls into standalone (`.nx` wrapper) mode instead of a proper
+pnpm workspace.
+
+`nx init` does not reliably respect an existing `packageManager: pnpm@...`
+field — it can run its own install via npm regardless, leaving a
+`package-lock.json` next to the intended `pnpm-lock.yaml`. Immediately
+after `nx init` completes, check for `package-lock.json` at the repo
+root; if present, delete it and run `pnpm install` to regenerate
+`pnpm-lock.yaml` before continuing to step 2. Don't assume `nx init`
+respects the locked package manager — verify.
+
+Then generate the first lib. The **first** `@nx/js:lib` call materializes
+the whole workspace shape (`tsconfig.base.json`, root `eslint.config.mjs`,

+## Known issue: esbuild postinstall version mismatch

+`@nx/vite` (step 1) declares `esbuild` as an *optional* peer dependency
+(`^0.27.0 || ^0.28.0`), while `drizzle-kit` (step 2) pins a hard dependency
+on `esbuild@^0.25.4`. pnpm's isolated store correctly keeps both esbuild
+majors side by side — but esbuild's own `install.js` resolves its platform
+binary (`@esbuild/<platform>`) via **ambient** Node module resolution
+rather than a path scoped to its own package instance. With multiple
+esbuild majors in the tree, that ambient resolution can walk up and grab a
+sibling major's platform binary, hardlinking the wrong version's binary
+into a package that still claims a different version number. The result
+is a postinstall failure like:
+
+```
+Error: Expected "0.28.1" but got "0.25.12"

+
+This is deterministic (not registry/store corruption) and reproduces even

+`pnpm.overrides.esbuild` pin added in step 1 above: collapsing to a single
+esbuild version (drizzle-kit's hard-pinned range, since it's non-optional
+— `@nx/vite`'s peer is optional and simply goes unfilled) removes the
