+### Changed — Simply Stated now governs conversational narration (4th enforcement layer)
+
+The v5.1.10 doctrine only gated formal deliverables (architectures/plans/findings) + code writes — it was blind to mid-work talk-to-the-user, which is exactly where a jargon-dense, buried-point, self-narrating reply slipped through even in a fresh session. Extended the doctrine to REPLIES: the every-turn Reader Contract (injected by `scripts/gsd-t-auto-route.js`) now carries the Simply-Stated rule + a real before/after example, with two conversational-specific rules — NO PREAMBLE and load-bearing-point-FIRST. This is the channel that reaches conversational output each turn (layers 2-3 do not).
+
+- `scripts/gsd-t-auto-route.js`: Simply-Stated line + the egress-guard before/after added to `READER_CONTRACT`.
+- `templates/CLAUDE-global.md` (+ `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`): doctrine gains "§Applies to conversational narration too" + a 4th enforcement layer; Reader Contract prose mirrors the rule + example.

 # GSD-T: Contract-Driven Development for Claude Code
 
-**v5.1.11** - A methodology for reliable, parallelizable development using Claude Code with optional Agent Teams support.
+**v5.1.12** - A methodology for reliable, parallelizable development using Claude Code with optional Agent Teams support.
 
 **Eliminates context rot** — task-level fresh dispatch (one subagent per task, ~10-20% context each) means compaction never triggers.
 **Compaction-proof debug loops** — `gsd-t headless --debug-loop` runs test-fix-retest cycles as separate `claude -p` sessions. A JSONL debug ledger persists all hypothesis/fix/learning history across fresh sessions. Anti-repetition preamble injection prevents retrying failed hypotheses. Escalation tiers (sonnet → opus → human) and a hard iteration ceiling enforced externally.
