Unambiguous one-sided signal → classify silently + emit stderr advisory. Mixed or zero signals → AskUserQuestion. `--type=<value>` pre-resolves silently (highest priority). `--no-prompt` defaults to `technical` silently (AFK contract). Maintainer-side ONLY: this dispatch is paired with JTBD-301 protection — `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/problem-report.yml` (plugin-user-side intake) MUST NOT carry an equivalent type selector; triage assigns the type during `/wr-itil:manage-problem` ingestion of user-reported issues. **The classifier is also NOT invoked from `/wr-itil:manage-problem`'s ingestion-of-plugin-user-reports path** — plugin-user descriptions do not carry the same authorial intent as maintainer-internal captures, so triage stays user-judgement per JTBD-301. **I2 invariant** (ADR-060 line 98): the prompt is a classification facet, not a workflow split — Steps 0-7 control-flow is identical regardless of the chosen `type_value`; only the substituted value in the Step 4 skeleton template differs. The stderr advisory text shape is also I2-isomorphic: identical sentence structure across `technical` vs `user-business` classifications beyond the substituted values + signal names. |
+| JTBD-trace derivation (P287 retained surface) | **Derive-first; silent-framework per ADR-044 category 4 on lexical citations or `--jtbd=` flag pre-resolution.** Step 1.5b runs a lexical detector (`\bJTBD-[0-9]+\b`) against the description. Any cited JTBD IDs are recorded silently. No AskUserQuestion in this dispatch — capture-time JTBD anchoring is optional; the next reviewer can refine at `/wr-itil:review-problems` or `/wr-itil:manage-problem` ingestion. |
+| Persona derivation (P287 retained surface, decoupled from type) | **Derive-first; silent-framework per ADR-044 category 4 when JTBDs cited and agree.** If JTBDs were cited at Step 1.5b, persona derives from the cited JTBDs' frontmatter. Disagreement across cited JTBDs falls back to AskUserQuestion (genuine taste). Empty persona is legal — no hard-block. |
 
-Per ADR-013 Rule 6 fail-safe: every decision above resolves without interactive user input in non-interactive contexts (the type-tag carve-out resolves to `technical` via `--no-prompt` or `--type=` caller-side pre-resolution, or via the derive-first classifier on unambiguous descriptions). AFK orchestrators MUST pass `--no-prompt` or `--type=<value>` per JTBD-006 § Persona Constraints; AFK callers that omit both flags violate the caller-side contract. Interactive (pre-resolved, derive-classified, or ambiguous-fallback) and pre-resolved AFK paths produce identical observable outputs except for the `**Type**:` field value, satisfying the I2 invariant by construction.

The redundant axis was already covered by RFC/Story persona-anchoring per ADR-060 Phase 4. JTBD-trace + persona dispatch survive as the JTBD-as-source-of-truth surface; the I12 hard-block (type-keyed JTBD-required halt) is also retired pending ADR-060 amendment substance ratification.

-**Shared dispatch helper**: this surface invokes `packages/itil/lib/derive-first-dispatch.sh` for the canonical lexical-classifier mechanism + I2-isomorphic stderr advisory format. The helper is sourced by `/wr-itil:capture-problem`, `/wr-itil:manage-incident`, and `/wr-itil:manage-problem`; drift in the advisory shape re-opens P132. Surface-specific signal definitions (technical-vs-user-business regex lists) stay inline below — the helper owns the mechanism, not the per-surface signals (architect verdict 2026-05-15 P132 Phase 2a-iii-A: "Helper must preserve per-surface signal definitions; only the dispatch mechanism is shared").
-
-Resolve `type_value` ∈ {`technical`, `user-business`} per the following framework-mediated dispatch. **The dispatch order is load-bearing** — pre-resolution flags short-circuit BEFORE the classifier runs, and the AskUserQuestion fires ONLY on genuinely-ambiguous descriptions.

-     - `user-business` — *"Missing capability, UX gap, adopter friction, JTBD-shaped need — root cause sits in unmet user need."*
+### 1.5b JTBD-trace + persona dispatch (P287 — decoupled from type)
 
-   **Stderr advisory contract** (silent-classification path only): emit a SINGLE line to stderr (NOT stdout, NOT in the ticket body) via the shared helper's `emit_stderr_advisory` function in `packages/itil/lib/derive-first-dispatch.sh`. The canonical format produced by the helper:
-
-   ```
-   capture-problem: derived type=<value> from description signals: <signal1>, <signal2>[, ...]; re-invoke with --type=<other-value> to override
-   ```
-
-   The advisory text shape is I2-isomorphic — same sentence structure (`<skill>: derived <field>=<value> from <source>; <reversibility>`) across all three derive-first declaration-skill surfaces. The helper is the single source-of-truth for this format; drift here re-opens P132. Embedding the advisory in stdout would risk machine-readers parsing it as a ticket-body line; embedding it in the ticket body would violate ADR-060's frontmatter / body-bullet schema. Stderr is the correct channel — visible to interactive maintainers in the terminal; invisible to ticket consumers; loggable by AFK orchestrators that capture subprocess stderr.
-
-**I2 invariant guard (ADR-060 line 98)**: the resolved `type_value` is used at Step 4 ONLY as a substituted string in the skeleton template's `**Type**:` body field. Steps 2, 3, 4 (other than the `**Type**:` substitution), 5, 6, 7 execute identically regardless of `type_value`. The skill carries NO control-flow branch keyed on `type` — that would convert classification into a workflow split and violate I2. The lexical-signal classifier is UPSTREAM of the value's substitution (it resolves WHICH value to substitute, not WHICH workflow to execute); the substitution and all downstream steps remain uniform. Pure-bash supporting-script enforcement of this invariant lives in `packages/itil/scripts/test/i2-no-type-branching.bats`; the SKILL.md surface coverage gap is named at P176 (descendant of P012 master harness).
-
-**JTBD-301 scope guard**: this dispatch fires on the maintainer-side `/wr-itil:capture-problem` skill only. The plugin-user-side intake (`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/problem-report.yml`) MUST NOT carry an equivalent type selector — plugin-user persona constraint is "no pre-classification". Triage assigns `type` during `/wr-itil:manage-problem` ingestion of user-reported issues, not at user-report time. **The lexical-signal classifier is ALSO NOT invoked from `/wr-itil:manage-problem`'s ingestion-of-plugin-user-reports path** — plugin-user descriptions do not carry the same authorial intent as maintainer-internal captures (a plugin-user describing their friction in maintainer-vocabulary terms would mis-classify); triage stays user-judgement, not lexical-classifier inference.

-### 1.5b JTBD-trace + persona dispatch (Phase 3 P3.1 + Phase 4 P4.2 + I12 invariant)
-
-Per ADR-060 § Phase 3 + Phase 4 in-scope amendment (2026-05-13). Fires ONLY when `type_value` resolved to `user-business` (whether via `--type=user-business` flag, `--no-prompt` default override is impossible since `--no-prompt` defaults to `technical`, the classifier silent-resolve to `user-business`, or the ambiguous-fallback AskUserQuestion). For `type_value = technical`, Steps 1.5b and the I12 hard-block do NOT fire (technical problems may carry empty `jtbd:` array; persona is optional). The whole dispatch keys on **nullable-field-conditional** shape per ADR-060 line 536 — NEVER on `type` value as a control-flow branch (preserves I2 invariant; the type co-incidence is upstream input, not control-flow key).
+Per ADR-060 § Phase 3 + Phase 4 in-scope amendment (2026-05-13), as amended by P287 (2026-06-02 — type-classification retired). Fires UNCONDITIONALLY (no longer keyed on `type_value = user-business`; the type axis was removed). Both `jtbd_trace_value` and `persona_value` are OPTIONAL — capture-time anchoring is best-effort; the next reviewer can refine at `/wr-itil:review-problems` or `/wr-itil:manage-problem` ingestion.
 
 **Resolve `jtbd_trace_value`** (an ORDERED list of JTBD IDs, possibly empty) via the following dispatch:
 
 1. **If `--jtbd=JTBD-NNN[,JTBD-NNN...]` was set in Step 1**: parse comma-separated list; assign to `jtbd_trace_value`; do NOT run the lexical detector; do NOT fire AskUserQuestion (silent-proceed per ADR-013 Rule 5).
 2. **Else** run the **lexical JTBD-trace detector** against the description: `grep -oE '\bJTBD-[0-9]+\b' | sort -u`. If matches found, set `jtbd_trace_value` to the matched IDs (de-duplicated, sorted ascending) and emit stderr advisory: `capture-problem: derived jtbd-trace=<id-list> from description JTBD-NNN citations; re-invoke with --jtbd= to override`. Do NOT fire AskUserQuestion.
-3. **Else (no flag, no lexical detection, type=user-business)**: **I12 hard-block** per ADR-060 Confirmation criterion 10. Halt-with-stderr-directive: print `capture-problem: I12 invariant — type: user-business requires ≥1 JTBD trace. Re-invoke with --jtbd=JTBD-NNN, OR edit the description to cite a JTBD-NNN ID, OR re-classify as technical via --type=technical.` and exit. This branch is the load-bearing enforcement of the new I12 invariant — JTBD-as-source-of-truth for persona-anchored unmet need; user-business problems MUST cite ≥1 JTBD.
+3. **Else (no flag, no lexical detection)**: leave `jtbd_trace_value` empty. The `**JTBD**:` line is omitted from the Step 4 skeleton template. No hard-block — capture-time JTBD anchoring is optional under P287; the I12 hard-block (type-keyed JTBD-required halt) was retired alongside the type axis. ADR-060 amendment substance (whether JTBD anchoring should become a nullable-field-conditional gate keyed on some other discriminator) is queued for user re-confirmation per ADR-074.
 
 **Resolve `persona_value`** (a scalar enum value OR empty) via the following dispatch:
 
 1. **If `--persona=<value>` was set in Step 1**: validate `<value>` ∈ `{developer, tech-lead, plugin-developer, plugin-user}`; halt with directive if invalid; otherwise assign and proceed silently.
-2. **Else if `jtbd_trace_value` is non-empty**: derive persona from cited JTBDs' frontmatter. Read each cited `docs/jtbd/<persona>/JTBD-<NNN>-*.md` file; extract its `persona:` (and optionally `secondary-persona:`) frontmatter values; if all cited JTBDs agree on a single persona, set `persona_value` to that persona silently and emit stderr advisory: `capture-problem: derived persona=<value> from cited JTBD <id> frontmatter`. If cited JTBDs disagree, fire AskUserQuestion with the union-of-derived-personas as options.
-3. **Else if `type_value = user-business`**: AskUserQuestion fires with the closed enum as options. Per ADR-060 P4.2: `developer | tech-lead | plugin-developer | plugin-user`. Question text: *"What persona does this user-business problem serve?"*
-4. **Else (`type_value = technical`)**: leave `persona_value` empty. `persona:` frontmatter is OPTIONAL on technical problems.
-
-**I12 hard-block escape hatch (none)**: there is no `BYPASS_I12=1` env override at the SKILL surface. The block is a load-bearing schema constraint per ADR-060 Confirmation criterion 10; if a maintainer captures a user-business problem without yet knowing the JTBD trace, they must EITHER capture as `--type=technical` and re-classify during `/wr-itil:manage-problem` ingestion (when the JTBD becomes clear), OR fast-capture a placeholder JTBD via `/wr-itil:capture-jtbd` (when it ships under Phase 4 follow-on) and reference it.
-
-**JTBD-301 scope preservation**: this dispatch ALSO fires on the maintainer-side `/wr-itil:capture-problem` only. Plugin-user-side `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/problem-report.yml` MUST NOT prompt for JTBD trace or persona — preserves the JTBD-301 firewall per ADR-060 P4.3 maintainer-side / plugin-user-side asymmetry clarifier. Triage during `/wr-itil:manage-problem` ingestion assigns both fields from the reporter's symptom signals (per the JTBD-301 maintainer-side-complement extension landed 2026-05-13).
+2. **Else if `jtbd_trace_value` is non-empty**: derive persona from cited JTBDs' frontmatter. Read each cited `docs/jtbd/<persona>/JTBD-<NNN>-*.md` file; extract its `persona:` (and optionally `secondary-persona:`) frontmatter values; if all cited JTBDs agree on a single persona, set `persona_value` to that persona silently and emit stderr advisory: `capture-problem: derived persona=<value> from cited JTBD <id> frontmatter`. If cited JTBDs disagree, fire AskUserQuestion with the union-of-derived-personas as options (genuine taste per ADR-044 category 5 — cited JTBDs have ratified-coherent contradictory persona constraints, only the user can resolve which applies to THIS problem).
+3. **Else (no JTBDs cited, no `--persona=` flag)**: leave `persona_value` empty. `persona:` frontmatter is OPTIONAL — capture-time persona anchoring is best-effort.
 
-**Phase 3 P3.1 nullable-field-conditional shape**: the JTBD-trace prompt + I12 hard-block fire on `jtbd_trace_value` nullability (absent vs present), NOT on the `type` field's value. The composite gate (`type == user-business AND jtbd_trace_value == empty`) treats `type` as upstream-determined co-incident input — exactly the carve-out permitted by ADR-060 line 536. Steps 2-7 below execute identically regardless of `type_value`, `jtbd_trace_value`, or `persona_value`; only the values substituted into the Step 4 skeleton template differ. This preserves I2 control-flow uniformity AND extends the I2 behavioural test (per ADR-060 Confirmation criterion 11) to assert no control-flow branch on `persona:` field presence.
+**JTBD-301 scope preservation**: this dispatch fires on the maintainer-side `/wr-itil:capture-problem` only. Plugin-user-side `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/problem-report.yml` MUST NOT prompt for JTBD trace or persona — preserves the JTBD-301 firewall per ADR-060 P4.3 maintainer-side / plugin-user-side asymmetry clarifier.

-# P185 — Step 1.5 derive-first classifier behavioural tests.
+# P287 (2026-06-02) — retirement of P185 Step 1.5 derive-first classifier.
 #
-# The classifier is an agent-driven SKILL.md instruction (not a pure-bash
-# script), so these tests mirror the lexical-signal regex sets from
-# SKILL.md and assert classification outcomes on fixture descriptions —
-# same shape as the existing next-ID-formula and duplicate-grep tests
-# that mirror manage-problem Step 3 / capture-problem Step 2 formulas.
+# The type-classification axis was REMOVED per twice-confirmed user
+# direction (2026-05-25 + 2026-06-02). The lexical-signal classifier,
+# stderr-advisory contract, flag pre-resolution dispatch, and
+# meta-recursive corpus assertions that lived here have been removed —
+# they exercise behaviour that no longer exists in capture-problem.
 #
-# Per ADR-052 (behavioural-tests-default): observable input → output
-# assertions on the classifier's resolution function. Per P081: NOT
-# grepping SKILL.md prose for signal-token references — that would be
-# the structural-test-disguised-as-behavioural anti-pattern.
-#
-# I2 protection: each test exercises both `technical` and `user-business`
-# classification paths and asserts the stderr-advisory shape is
-# isomorphic beyond the substituted type-value + signal names.
-# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-# Mirror of the SKILL.md Step 1.5 classifier — emits "technical",
-# "user-business", or "ambiguous" on stdout. Always returns 0 so the
-# `result=$(classify_description ...)` substitution in tests below
-# never trips bats' default-fail-on-nonzero-substitution behaviour;
-# tests assert on the string verdict, not the exit code.
-#
-# This helper mirrors the SKILL.md regex set so the test exercises the
-# classifier's load-bearing pattern set; drift between this helper and
-# SKILL.md is the failure mode this test corpus catches.
