+# _owner-language — how anything addressed to the owner is written
+
+Loaded by every persona. **The shape of a document lives in that document's template, never here.** These are the three rules that apply when no particular document is being written.
+
+## 1. Plain, simple English
+
+Everything the owner reads — a terminal reply, a document, a status line, the sentence on a miss — is written for a capable person who has not read one line of this framework.
+
+- **No coined terms, no shorthand.** "the framework's own script", not "the oracle". "the number you divide by", not "the denominator". If the owner would have to look a word up, it is the wrong word.
+- **Writing a glossary means the words are wrong.** Change the words. `tf-doc-check.sh` refuses a glossary section.
+- First sentence carries the answer. Name the thing, not its id. Short sentences. Never dramatise.
+
+## 2. A question for the owner goes in a file, not in the conversation
+
+When a command hits a choice only the owner can make and the answer changes what gets built: write `docs/{App}-Decision-Request.md` from `app-decision-request-tmpl.md`, render it with `tf-render-html.sh`, check it with `tf-doc-check.sh`, then say **one line** in the terminal — which file, how many decisions. Nothing else: restating it in the terminal buries the question in the context the file exists to keep clear.
+
+Never read a Decision Request back in. The owner's pasted block is the input. In YOLO, take a choice that has a clear recommendation, mark it, and continue; write the file only for one you genuinely cannot take alone.
+
+## 3. Reporting a problem upstream is never refused
+
+A gap in the framework or in a library is filed on the day you find it, whatever its size, without asking permission. The shape is in `app-library-feedback-tmpl.md`. Two things bind wherever you are:
+
+- **Every entry answers `Blocks:` first — `yes` or `no`.** That word decides whether the run stops.
+- **A non-blocking entry is filed and the work carries on.** No stopping, no asking, no page of analysis mid-run. One entry, then continue, and one line about it when the command ends.
+
+A defect goes in the feedback file. A question goes in a Decision Request. Never mixed: different readers.

 1. Read the BRD and note the highest `BRD-N`. On a Large project the BRD and checklist are the phase's: `appPhase` in `core-config.yaml` names it, phase 1 is `docs/{App}-BRD.md`, phase n is `docs/{App}-Pn-BRD.md`; the highest id is the highest across every phase. No BRD means no amendment: stop and point at day-1. Note whether the checklist exists.
 2. Sort every point of the change into ADD (a new capability, actor, screen or integration), MODIFY (an existing item whose behaviour changed, mapped to its `BRD-N`), REMOVE (scope dropped, mapped to its `BRD-N`) or ARCH (a new module, flow, package or decision).

+3. Show the change-set as a numbered table (ADD with the next ids, MODIFY as old to new, REMOVE with the reason, ARCH by decision) and wait for "go" or corrections. **A table, not an essay: no glossary, no verification chapter, no re-argued history.** This is the only question. In YOLO mode apply it without waiting. If a point of the change turns on something only the owner can decide, do not argue it here — write `docs/{App}-Decision-Request.md` per `.tfcore/tasks/_owner-language.md`, render it, and say one line naming the file and how many decisions it holds.
 4. BRD. ADD: append a ledger item with the next id, its screen, its mockup link and its acceptance line "When <actor> <does what> on <screen>, then <observable result>"; a new screen gets a row in the Screens and flow table and a Planned row in the Development status table. MODIFY: edit the item in place, same id. REMOVE: `~~BRD-N~~ (removed {date}: reason)`, never deleted. If the additions would take a Small project past 50 requirements, raise it to Medium: `bash .tfcore/utils/tf-day1-files.sh {App} --size M` and the Size in every document header. If they would take a Medium project, or one phase, past 100 requirements or 20 screens, stop and propose a phase split: a new row in `docs/{App}-Phases.md` (written with `--size L` when absent) and a new `docs/{App}-Pn-BRD.md`, instead of growing this one.
 5. Architecture, when in scope and ARCH items exist: edit the affected sections in place, and add a Decisions log row (date, decision, why, status `planned` naming the BRD item) for every new decision or package. A reversed decision gets a new row; the old row stays.
 6. Mockups: when a screen was added or changed, run `.tfcore/tasks/mockups.md` with `--update`, so every screen in the BRD has a current mockup before the checklist changes.
 7. Checklist, only if it exists. ADD: `bash .tfcore/utils/tf-split-brd.sh {App} --add-missing` appends rows for the new items; correct their class. MODIFY: set the rows derived from that item to `Needs re-verify` with a Remark saying what changed. REMOVE: set them to `N/A (removed {date})` and keep the rows. Where the mapping from an item to its rows is unclear, ask, do not guess. If the checklist does not exist yet, the next day-1 stage 2 picks everything up.
 8. If the amendment changed code-level flows, say that `*devguide {App} --update` is due after the next build.

Spawn every cluster in one turn, each with its printed prompt unchanged: `[trblazeui]` clusters through `/trblazeui`, `[techierag]` through `/techierag`, `[builder]` through the harness's builder sub-agent (`tf-builder` when registered, else the general one). Wait for all of them. A cluster that returns `PARTIAL` is re-spawned with its missing rows. Context pressure is a reason to delegate more, never to stop, and a working list is never shortened: "run build-phase again for the rest" is not an ending.
 3. A row that cannot be built as written (no mockup, two rows that contradict, a behaviour the BRD plainly needed and never named): take the sensible reading, write it in the row's Remarks, keep building, and log the gap as a `miss` (`.tfcore/tasks/_metrics-emit-gate.md`) with `miss_class` `unspecified-gap` or `spec-contradiction`, `artifact` naming the document, `found_by` `agent-review`, `found_phase` `build-phase`. A library gap goes into `docs/{App}-<Library>-Feedback.md` (from `.tfcore/templates/v4custom/app-library-feedback-tmpl.md`, one file per library) and the row becomes `Blocked`; never a workaround.
 4. `bash .tfcore/utils/tf-build.sh`: PASS, or FAIL with the real errors (fix them, fanning out by file when there are many), or NOT-RUN naming the rungs tried, which is a host problem and never a blocker. `bash .tfcore/utils/tf-build.sh test` runs the tests.

 - **No optional steps in the numbered list.** The numbered deployment-steps section is the minimum sufficient set of commands to go from `git clone` to a running app. Anything optional goes in "Known limitations" or a separate doc.

A toolchain assumed here would be wrong on the next project.

+- **Prerequisites**: the runtime version from wherever this stack pins it (the Architecture stack table names the file). Then one line for each external runtime the build, run or test commands depend on — a package runtime only if the tests need one, a database server only if migrations exist, a platform workload only if a project targets that platform. One line each. No prose.
 - **Deployment steps**: detect in this order and emit one numbered step per command:
   1. `git clone <repo>` (always)
-  2. `dotnet restore` (always)
-  3. SQL migrations — scan `database/`, `db/migrations/`, `src/*Db/Scripts/`, and any DbUp project's `<EmbeddedResource>` paths. List `.sql` files in lexicographic order, one per line. If a DbUp project exists, prefer `dotnet run --project src/{AppName}.Db` as a single step instead of listing each SQL file.
-  4. `dotnet build`
-  5. Backend run — find the API/service startup project. One `dotnet run --project ... --urls http://localhost:5100` line.
-  6. Frontend run — find the Web/UI startup project. One `dotnet run --project ... --urls http://localhost:5099` line.
-  7. "Open http://localhost:5099 in a browser."
-  - For MAUI: replace step 5/6 with `winrun "dotnet build src/{AppName}.Maui"` then `winrun "dotnet run --project src/{AppName}.Maui"`.
-  - If frontend and backend are the same project (Blazor Server-only): collapse steps 5+6 into one.
-- **Test**: `dotnet test`. Add `npx playwright test` ONLY if the repo has Playwright tests checked in.
+  2. Restore dependencies — the stack's restore command (always)
+  3. Database migrations — scan the migration folders the Architecture names, plus the conventional ones (`database/`, `db/migrations/`, `migrations/`). List the migration files in the order they run, one per line; if the stack has a migration runner, prefer one step invoking it over listing every file.
+  4. Build — the stack's build command
+  5. Backend run — find the service or API entry point. One line, with the port it listens on.
+  6. Frontend run — find the UI entry point. One line, with its port.

 - **Smoke checklist**: one checkbox per top-level BRD capability (5–10 max). Each line is a user action, not a technical step ("Log in as admin and load the dashboard" — NOT "verify JWT validation").

   core_principles:
+    - OWNER LANGUAGE - Everything the owner reads is plain, simple English: no coined terms, no framework shorthand, no word they would have to look up. A choice only the owner can make goes in `docs/{App}-Decision-Request.md` with a recommendation and a block to paste back, and ONE line in the terminal — never argued out in the conversation. Reporting an upstream defect is never refused; it goes in the feedback file, answers "Blocks: yes|no" first, and a non-blocking entry never stops the run. `.tfcore/tasks/_owner-language.md`.
     - Holistic System Thinking - View every component as part of a larger system
     - User Experience Drives Architecture - Start with user journeys and work backward
     - Pragmatic Technology Selection - Choose boring technology where possible, exciting where necessary

+- Everything the owner reads is plain, simple English, a question for the owner goes in `docs/{App}-Decision-Request.md` rather than into the conversation, and an upstream defect is always filed — answering "Blocks: yes|no" first, and never stopping the run when the answer is no: `.tfcore/tasks/_owner-language.md`.
 - Run to completion in YOLO or goal mode: `.tfcore/tasks/_yolo-mode.md`. `*build-phase` is in it by default.
 - Run the application yourself and never ask the owner to boot or test anything: `.tfcore/tasks/_smoke-test-policy.md`, with `bash .tfcore/utils/tf-build.sh` for building on any host.
 - A smoke is not a verify. `Verified` is written only by an executed `*verify`; the hook refuses it otherwise. Your ceiling as a builder is `Implemented`.

 - Evidence over assertion. A row is `Verified` only when every check that ran passed, and the verdict script writes it from the evidence files; a `Verified` written by hand is refused by the hook. A check that could not run is written as not measured, never as a pass.
