-description: "🔨🐜🏗️🐜🔨 Build a phase with pure emergence - colony self-organizes and completes tasks"
----
-
-### Step -1: Normalize Arguments
-
-Run: `normalized_args=$(bash .aether/aether-utils.sh normalize-args "$@")`
-
-This ensures arguments work correctly in both Claude Code and OpenCode. Use `$normalized_args` throughout this command.
-
-You are the **Queen**. You DIRECTLY spawn multiple workers — do not delegate to a single Prime Worker.
-
-The phase to build is: `$normalized_args`
-
-## Instructions
-
-### Step 0.5: Load Colony State
-
-Run using Bash tool: `bash .aether/aether-utils.sh load-state`
-
-If the command fails (non-zero exit or JSON has ok: false):
-1. Parse error JSON
-2. If error code is E_FILE_NOT_FOUND: "No colony initialized. Run /ant:init first." and stop
-3. If validation error: Display error details with recovery suggestion and stop
-4. For other errors: Display generic error and suggest /ant:status for diagnostics
-
-If successful:
-1. Parse the state JSON from result field
-2. Check if goal is null - if so: "No colony initialized. Run /ant:init first." and stop
-3. Extract current_phase and phase name from plan.phases[current_phase - 1].name
-4. Display brief resumption context:
-   ```
-   🔄 Resuming: Phase X - Name
-   ```
-   (If HANDOFF.md exists, this provides orientation before the build proceeds)
-
-After displaying context, run: `bash .aether/aether-utils.sh unload-state` to release the lock.
-
-### Step 1: Validate + Read State
-
-**Parse $normalized_args:**
-1. Extract the phase number (first argument)
-2. Check remaining arguments for flags:
-   - If contains `--verbose` or `-v`: set `verbose_mode = true`
-   - If contains `--no-visual`: set `visual_mode = false` (visual is ON by default)
-   - If contains `--depth <level>`: set `cli_depth_override = <level>`
-   - Otherwise: set `visual_mode = true` (visual is default)
-
-If the phase number is empty or not a number:
-
-```
-Usage: /ant:build <phase_number> [--verbose|-v] [--no-visual] [--depth <level>]
-
-Options:
-  --verbose, -v       Show full completion details (spawn tree, TDD, patterns)
-  --no-visual         Disable real-time visual display (visual is on by default)
-  --depth <level>     Set colony depth for this build (light|standard|deep|full)
-
-Examples:
-  /ant:build 1              Build Phase 1 (with visual display)
-  /ant:build 1 --verbose    Build Phase 1 (full details + visual)
-  /ant:build 1 --no-visual  Build Phase 1 without visual display
-  /ant:build 1 --depth deep Build Phase 1 with thorough investigation
-```
-
-Stop here.
-
-**Set colony depth (if --depth flag provided):**
-If `cli_depth_override` is set:
-1. Run using Bash tool: `bash .aether/aether-utils.sh colony-depth set "$cli_depth_override"`
-2. Parse JSON result - if `.ok` is false:
-   - Display: `Error: Invalid depth "$cli_depth_override". Use: light, standard, deep, full`
-   - Stop here
-3. If valid: Display `Colony depth: {level}`
-
-**Auto-upgrade old state:**
-If `version` field is missing, "1.0", or "2.0":
-1. Preserve: `goal`, `state`, `current_phase`, `plan.phases`
-2. Write upgraded v3.0 state (same structure as /ant:init but preserving data)
-3. Output: `State auto-upgraded to v3.0`
-4. Continue with command.
-
-Extract:
-- `goal`, `state`, `current_phase` from top level
-- `plan.phases` for phase data
-- `errors.records` for error context
-- `memory` for decisions/learnings
-
-**Validate:**
-- If `plan.phases` is empty -> output `No project plan. Run /ant:plan first.` and stop.
-- Find the phase matching the requested ID. If not found -> output `Phase {id} not found.` and stop.
-- If the phase status is `"completed"` -> output `Phase {id} already completed.` and stop.
-
-### Step 1.5: Blocker Advisory (Non-blocking)
-
-Check for unresolved blocker flags on the requested phase:
-
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh flag-check-blockers {phase_number}
-```
-
-Parse the JSON result (`.result.blockers`):
-
-- **If blockers == 0:** Display nothing (or optionally a brief `No active blockers for Phase {id}.` line). Proceed to Step 2.
-- **If blockers > 0:** Retrieve blocker details:
-  ```bash
-  bash .aether/aether-utils.sh flag-list --type blocker --phase {phase_number}
-  ```
-  Parse `.result.flags` and display an advisory warning:
-  ```
-  ⚠️  BLOCKER ADVISORY: {blockers} unresolved blocker(s) for Phase {id}
-  {for each flag in result.flags:}
-     - [{flag.id}] {flag.title}
-  {end for}
-
-  Consider reviewing with /ant:flags or auto-fixing with /ant:swarm before building.
-  Proceeding anyway...
-  ```
-  **This is advisory only — do NOT stop.** Continue to Step 2 regardless.
-
-### Step 2: Update State
-
-Read then update `.aether/data/COLONY_STATE.json`:
-- Set `state` to `"EXECUTING"`
-- Set `current_phase` to the phase number
-- Set the phase's `status` to `"in_progress"` in `plan.phases[N]`
-- Add `build_started_at` field with current ISO-8601 UTC timestamp
-- Append to `events`: `"<timestamp>|phase_started|build|Phase <id>: <name> started"`
-
-If `events` exceeds 100 entries, keep only the last 100.
-
-Write COLONY_STATE.json.
-
-### Step 3: Git Checkpoint
-
-Create a git checkpoint for rollback capability.
-
-```bash
-git rev-parse --git-dir 2>/dev/null
-```
-
-- **If succeeds** (is a git repo):
-  1. Check for changes in Aether-managed directories only: `.aether .claude/commands/ant .claude/commands/st .opencode bin`
-  2. **If changes exist**: `git stash push -m "aether-checkpoint: pre-phase-$PHASE_NUMBER" -- .aether .claude/commands/ant .claude/commands/st .opencode bin`
-     - IMPORTANT: Never use `--include-untracked` — it stashes ALL files including user work!
-     - Verify: `git stash list | head -1 | grep "aether-checkpoint"` — warn if empty
-     - Store checkpoint as `{type: "stash", ref: "aether-checkpoint: pre-phase-$PHASE_NUMBER"}`
-  3. **If clean working tree**: Record `HEAD` hash via `git rev-parse HEAD`
-     - Store checkpoint as `{type: "commit", ref: "$HEAD_HASH"}`
-- **If fails** (not a git repo): Set checkpoint to `{type: "none", ref: "(not a git repo)"}`.
-
-Rollback procedure: `git stash pop` (if type is "stash") or `git reset --hard $ref` (if type is "commit").
-
-Output header:
-
-```
-🔨🐜🏗️🐜🔨 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
-   B U I L D I N G   P H A S E   {id}
-═══════════════════════════════════════════════════ 🔨🐜🏗️🐜🔨
-
-📍 Phase {id}: {name}
-💾 Git Checkpoint: {checkpoint_type} → {checkpoint_ref}
-🔄 Rollback: `git stash pop` (stash) or `git reset --hard {ref}` (commit)
-```
-
-Run using the Bash tool with description "Showing phase progress...":
-```bash
-progress_bar=$(bash .aether/aether-utils.sh generate-progress-bar "$current_phase" "$total_phases" 20 2>/dev/null || echo "")
-if [[ -n "$progress_bar" ]]; then
-  echo "[Phase ${current_phase}/${total_phases}] ${progress_bar}"
-fi
-```
-
-### Step 4: Load Constraints
-
-Read `.aether/data/constraints.json` if it exists.
-
-Format for display:
-```
-CONSTRAINTS:
-  FOCUS: {focus areas, comma-separated}
-  AVOID: {patterns to avoid from constraints}
-```
-
-If file doesn't exist or is empty:
-```
-CONSTRAINTS: (none)
-```
-
-### Step 4.0: Load Territory Survey
-
-Check if territory survey exists and load relevant documents:
-
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh survey-load "{phase_name}" 2>/dev/null
-```
-
-**Parse the JSON response:**
-- If `.ok` is false: Set `survey_docs = null` and skip survey loading
-- If successful: Extract `.docs` (comma-separated list) and `.dir`
-
-**Determine phase type from phase name:**
-| Phase Contains | Documents to Load |
-|----------------|-------------------|
-| UI, frontend, component, button, page | DISCIPLINES.md, CHAMBERS.md |
-| API, endpoint, backend, route | BLUEPRINT.md, DISCIPLINES.md |
-| database, schema, model, migration | BLUEPRINT.md, PROVISIONS.md |
-| test, spec, coverage | SENTINEL-PROTOCOLS.md, DISCIPLINES.md |
-| integration, external, client | TRAILS.md, PROVISIONS.md |
-| refactor, cleanup, debt | PATHOGENS.md, BLUEPRINT.md |
-| setup, config, initialize | PROVISIONS.md, CHAMBERS.md |
-| *default* | PROVISIONS.md, BLUEPRINT.md |
-
-**Read the relevant survey documents** from `.aether/data/survey/`:
-- Extract key patterns to follow
-- Note file locations for new code
-- Identify known concerns to avoid
-
-**Display summary:**
-```
-━━━ 🗺️🐜 S U R V E Y   L O A D E D ━━━
-{for each doc loaded}
-  {emoji} {filename} — {brief description}
-{/for}
-
-{if no survey}
-  (No territory survey — run /ant:colonize for deeper context)
-{/if}
-```
-
-**Store for builder injection:**
-- `survey_patterns` — patterns to follow
-- `survey_locations` — where to place files
-- `survey_concerns` — concerns to avoid
-
-### Step 4.1: Load QUEEN.md Wisdom
-
-Call `queen-read` to extract eternal wisdom for worker priming:
-
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh queen-read 2>/dev/null
-```
-
-**Parse the JSON response:**
-- If `.ok` is false or command fails: Set `queen_wisdom = null` and skip wisdom injection
-- If successful: Extract wisdom sections from `.result.wisdom`
-
-**Store wisdom variables:**
-```
-queen_philosophies = .result.wisdom.philosophies (if .result.priming.has_philosophies)
-queen_patterns = .result.wisdom.patterns (if .result.priming.has_patterns)
-queen_redirects = .result.wisdom.redirects (if .result.priming.has_redirects)
-queen_stack_wisdom = .result.wisdom.stack_wisdom (if .result.priming.has_stack_wisdom)
-queen_decrees = .result.wisdom.decrees (if .result.priming.has_decrees)
-```
-
-**Display summary (if any wisdom exists):**
-```
-━━━ 📜🐜 Q U E E N   W I S D O M ━━━
-{if queen_philosophies:}  📜 Philosophies: yes{/if}
-{if queen_patterns:}  🧭 Patterns: yes{/if}
-{if queen_redirects:}  ⚠️ Redirects: yes{/if}
-{if queen_stack_wisdom:}  🔧 Stack Wisdom: yes{/if}
-{if queen_decrees:}  🏛️ Decrees: yes{/if}
-
-{if none exist:}  (no eternal wisdom recorded yet){/if}
-```
-
-**Graceful handling:** If QUEEN.md doesn't exist or `queen-read` fails, continue without wisdom injection. Workers will receive standard prompts.
-
-### Step 4.1.6: Load Active Pheromones (Signal Consumption)
-
-Call `pheromone-read` to extract active colony signals for worker priming:
-
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh pheromone-read 2>/dev/null
-```
-
-**Parse the JSON response:**
-- If `.ok` is false or command fails: Set `pheromone_section = null` and skip pheromone injection
-- If successful: Extract signals from `.result.signals`
-
-**Active Signals Section Template (injected into builder prompts):**
-```
---- ACTIVE SIGNALS (Pheromone Consumption) ---
-{focus_section if .result.signals.focus exists:}
-  🎯 FOCUS: {focus_description}
-{redirect_section if .result.signals.redirect exists:}
-  ⚠️ AVOID: {redirect_description}
-{feedback_section if .result.signals.feedback exists:}
-  💬 FEEDBACK: {feedback_description}
---- END SIGNALS ---
-```
-
-**Store for builder injection:**
-- `pheromone_section` — formatted signal section for builder prompts
-
-**Display summary (if any signals exist):**
-```
-━━━ 🦠🐜 P H E R O M O N E S   D E T E C T E D ━━━
-{focus_present:}  🎯 Focus signal: yes{/if}
-{redirect_present:}  ⚠️ Redirect signal: yes{/if}
-{feedback_present:}  💬 Feedback signal: yes{/if}
-
-{if none exist:}  (no active signals){/if}
-```
-
-**Graceful handling:** If pheromone-read fails or no signals exist, continue without pheromone injection.
-
----
-
-### Step 4.2: Archaeologist Pre-Build Scan
-
-**Conditional step — only fires when the phase modifies existing files.**
-
-1. **Detect existing-file modification:**
-   Examine each task in the phase. Look at task descriptions, constraints, and hints for signals:
-   - Keywords: "update", "modify", "add to", "integrate into", "extend", "change", "refactor", "fix"
-   - References to existing file paths (files that already exist in the repo)
-   - Task type: if a task is purely "create new file X" with no references to existing code, it is new-file-only
-
-   **If ALL tasks are new-file-only** (no existing files will be modified):
-   - Skip this step silently — produce no output, no spawn
-   - Proceed directly to Step 5
-
-2. **If existing code modification detected — spawn Archaeologist Scout:**
-
-   Generate archaeologist name and log:
-   ```bash
-   bash .aether/aether-utils.sh generate-ant-name "archaeologist"
-   bash .aether/aether-utils.sh spawn-log "Queen" "scout" "{archaeologist_name}" "Pre-build archaeology scan"
-   ```
-
-   Display:
-   ```
-   🏺🐜 Archaeologist {archaeologist_name} spawning
-       Scanning history of files to be modified...
-   ```
-
-   Spawn using Task tool with `subagent_type="aether-archaeologist"`, include `description: "🏺 Archaeologist {archaeologist_name}: Pre-build history scan"`:
-
-   ```
-   You are {Archaeologist-Name}, a 🏺🐜 Archaeologist Ant.
-
-   Mission: Pre-build archaeology scan
-
-   Files: {list of existing files that will be modified}
-
-   Work:
-   1. Read each file to understand current state
-   2. Run: git log --oneline -15 -- "{file_path}" for history
-   3. Run: git log --all --grep="fix\|bug\|workaround\|hack\|revert" --oneline -- "{file_path}" for incident history
-   4. Run: git blame "{file_path}" | head -40 for authorship
-   5. Note TODO/FIXME/HACK markers
-
-   Log activity: bash .aether/aether-utils.sh activity-log "READ" "{Ant-Name}" "description"
-
-   Report (plain text):
-   - WHY key code sections exist (from commits)
-   - Known workarounds/hacks to preserve
-   - Key architectural decisions
-   - Areas of caution (high churn, reverts, emergencies)
-   - Stable bedrock vs volatile sand sections
-   ```
-
-   **Wait for results** (blocking — use TaskOutput with `block: true`).
-
-   Log completion:
-   ```bash
-   bash .aether/aether-utils.sh spawn-complete "{archaeologist_name}" "completed" "Pre-build archaeology scan"
-   ```
-
-3. **Store and display findings:**
-
-   Store the archaeologist's output as `archaeology_context`.
-
-   Display summary:
-   ```
-   ━━━ 🏺🐜 A R C H A E O L O G Y ━━━
-   {summary of findings from archaeologist}
-   ```
-
-4. **Injection into builder prompts:**
-   The `archaeology_context` will be injected into builder prompts in Step 5.1 (see below).
-   If this step was skipped (no existing files modified), the archaeology section is omitted from builder prompts.
-
----
-
-### Step 5: Initialize Swarm Display and Analyze Tasks
-
-**YOU (the Queen) will spawn workers directly. Do NOT delegate to a single Prime Worker.**
-
-**Show build header:**
-```
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-Phase {id}: {name} — {N} waves, {M} tasks
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-```
-
-Where N = number of builder waves (excluding watcher/chaos) and M = total builder tasks.
-
-Record `build_started_at_epoch=$(date +%s)` — this epoch integer is used by the BUILD SUMMARY block in Step 7 to calculate elapsed time.
-
-Analyze the phase tasks:
-
-Analyze the phase tasks:
-
-1. **Group tasks by dependencies:**
-   - **Wave 1:** Tasks with `depends_on: "none"` or `depends_on: []` (can run in parallel)
-   - **Wave 2:** Tasks depending on Wave 1 tasks
-   - **Wave 3+:** Continue until all tasks assigned
-
-2. **Assign castes:**
-   - Implementation tasks → 🔨🐜 Builder
-   - Research/docs tasks → 🔍🐜 Scout
-   - Testing/validation → 👁️🐜 Watcher (ALWAYS spawn at least one)
-   - Resilience testing → 🎲🐜 Chaos (ALWAYS spawn one after Watcher)
-
-3. **Generate ant names for each worker:**
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh generate-ant-name "builder"
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh generate-ant-name "watcher"
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh generate-ant-name "chaos"
-```
-
-Display spawn plan with caste emojis:
-```
-━━━ 🐜 S P A W N   P L A N ━━━
-
-Wave 1  — Parallel
-  🔨🐜 {Builder-Name}  Task {id}  {description}
-  🔨🐜 {Builder-Name}  Task {id}  {description}
-
-Wave 2  — After Wave 1
-  🔨🐜 {Builder-Name}  Task {id}  {description}
-
-Verification
-  👁️🐜 {Watcher-Name}  Verify all work independently
-  🎲🐜 {Chaos-Name}   Resilience testing (after Watcher)
-
-Total: {N} Builders + 1 Watcher + 1 Chaos = {N+2} spawns
-```
-
-**Caste Emoji Legend:**
-- 🔨🐜 Builder  (cyan if color enabled)
-- 👁️🐜 Watcher  (green if color enabled)
-- 🎲🐜 Chaos    (red if color enabled)
-- 🔍🐜 Scout    (yellow if color enabled)
-- 🏺🐜 Archaeologist (magenta if color enabled)
-- 🥚 Queen/Prime
-
-**Every spawn must show its caste emoji.**
-
-### Step 5.0.5: Select and Announce Workflow Pattern
-
-Examine the phase name and task descriptions. Select the first matching pattern:
-
-| Phase contains | Pattern |
-|----------------|---------|
-| "bug", "fix", "error", "broken", "failing" | Investigate-Fix |
-| "research", "oracle", "explore", "investigate" | Deep Research |
-| "refactor", "restructure", "clean", "reorganize" | Refactor |
-| "security", "audit", "compliance", "accessibility", "license" | Compliance |
-| "docs", "documentation", "readme", "guide" | Documentation Sprint |
-| (default) | SPBV |
-
-Display the selected pattern:
-```
-━━ Pattern: {pattern_name} ━━
-{announce_line from Queen's Workflow Patterns definition}
-```
-
-Store `selected_pattern` for inclusion in the BUILD SUMMARY (Step 7).
-
-### Step 5.1: Spawn Wave 1 Workers (Parallel)
-
-**CRITICAL: Spawn ALL Wave 1 workers in a SINGLE message using multiple Task tool calls.**
-
-**CRITICAL: Spawn ALL Wave 1 workers in a SINGLE message using multiple Task tool calls.**
-
-**Announce the wave before spawning:**
-
-Display the spawn announcement immediately before firing Task calls:
-
-For single-caste waves (typical — all builders):
-```
-──── 🔨🐜 Spawning {N} Builders in parallel ────
-```
-
-For mixed-caste waves (uncommon):
-```
-──── 🐜 Spawning {N} workers ({X} 🔨 Builder, {Y} 🔍 Scout) ────
-```
-
-For a single worker:
-```
-──── 🔨🐜 Spawning {ant_name} — {task_summary} ────
-```
-
-**First, mark build start in context:**
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh context-update build-start {phase_id} {wave_1_worker_count} {wave_1_task_count}
-```
-
-Before dispatching each worker, refresh colony context so new pheromones/memory are visible:
-```bash
-prime_result=$(bash .aether/aether-utils.sh colony-prime --compact 2>/dev/null)
-```
-Update `prompt_section` from `prime_result.result.prompt_section`.
-
-For each Wave 1 task, use Task tool with `subagent_type="aether-builder"`, include `description: "🔨 Builder {Ant-Name}: {task_description}"` (DO NOT use run_in_background - multiple Task calls in a single message run in parallel and block until complete):
-
-Log each spawn and update swarm display:
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh spawn-log "Queen" "builder" "{ant_name}" "{task_description}"
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh context-update worker-spawn "{ant_name}" "builder" "{task_description}"
-```
-
-**Builder Worker Prompt (CLEAN OUTPUT):**
-```
-You are {Ant-Name}, a 🔨🐜 Builder Ant.
-
-Task {id}: {description}
-
-Goal: "{colony_goal}"
-
-{ archaeology_context if exists }
-
-{ queen_wisdom_section if any wisdom exists }
-
-{ pheromone_section if pheromone_section exists }
-
-Work:
-1. Read .aether/workers.md for Builder discipline
-2. Implement task, write tests
-3. Log activity: bash .aether/aether-utils.sh activity-log "ACTION" "{Ant-Name}" "description"
-
-Spawn sub-workers ONLY if 3x complexity:
-- Check: bash .aether/aether-utils.sh spawn-can-spawn {depth} --enforce
-- Generate name: bash .aether/aether-utils.sh generate-ant-name "builder"
-- Announce: "🐜 Spawning {child_name} for {reason}"
-- Log: bash .aether/aether-utils.sh spawn-log "{Ant-Name}" "builder" "{child_name}" "{task}"
-
-Count your total tool calls (Read + Grep + Edit + Bash + Write) and report as tool_count.
-
-Return ONLY this JSON (no other text):
-{"ant_name": "{Ant-Name}", "task_id": "{id}", "status": "completed|failed|blocked", "summary": "What you did", "tool_count": 0, "files_created": [], "files_modified": [], "tests_written": [], "blockers": []}
-```

-### Step 5.2: Process Wave 1 Results
-
-**Task calls return results directly (no TaskOutput needed).**
-
-Before using any worker payload, validate schema:
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh validate-worker-response builder '{worker_json}'
-```
-If validation fails, treat the worker as failed with blocker `invalid_worker_response`.
-
-**As each worker result arrives, IMMEDIATELY display a single completion line — do not wait for other workers:**
-
-For successful workers:
-```
-🔨 {Ant-Name}: {task_description} ({tool_count} tools) ✓
-```
-
-For failed workers:
-```
-🔨 {Ant-Name}: {task_description} ✗ ({failure_reason} after {tool_count} tools)
-```
-
-Where `tool_count` comes from the worker's returned JSON `tool_count` field, and `failure_reason` is extracted from the first item in the worker's `blockers` array or "unknown error" if empty.
-
-Log and update swarm display:
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh spawn-complete "{ant_name}" "completed" "{summary}"
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh context-update worker-complete "{ant_name}" "completed"
-```
-
-**Check for total wave failure:**
-
-After processing all worker results in this wave, check if EVERY worker returned `status: "failed"`. If ALL workers in the wave failed:
-
-Display a prominent halt alert:
-```
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-  ⚠ WAVE FAILURE — BUILD HALTED
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-
-All {N} workers in Wave {X} failed. Something is fundamentally wrong.
-
-Failed workers:
-  {for each failed worker in this wave:}
-  {caste_emoji} {Ant-Name}: {task_description} ✗ ({failure_reason} after {tool_count} tools)
-  {end for}
-
-Next steps:
-  /ant:flags      Review blockers
-  /ant:swarm      Auto-repair mode
-```
-
-Then STOP — do not proceed to subsequent waves, Watcher, or Chaos. Skip directly to Step 5.9 synthesis with `status: "failed"`.
-
-**Partial wave failure — escalation path:**
-
-If SOME (but not all) workers in the wave failed:
-1. For each failed worker, attempt Tier 3 escalation: Queen spawns a different caste for the same task
-2. If Tier 3 succeeds: continue to next wave
-3. If Tier 3 fails: display the Tier 4 ESCALATION banner (from Queen agent definition):
-
-```
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-  ⚠ ESCALATION — QUEEN NEEDS YOU
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-
-Task: {failed task description}
-Phase: {phase number} — {phase name}
-
-Tried:
-  • Worker retry (2 attempts) — {what failed}
-  • Parent tried alternate approach — {what failed}
-  • Queen reassigned to {other caste} — {what failed}
-
-Options:
-  A) {recommended option} — RECOMMENDED
-  B) {alternate option}
-  C) Skip and continue — this task will be marked blocked
-
-Awaiting your choice.
-```
-
-Log escalation as flag:
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh flag-add "blocker" "{task title}" "{failure summary}" "escalation" {phase_number}
-```
-
-If at least one worker succeeded, continue normally to the next wave.
-
-**Parse each worker's validated JSON output to collect:** status, files_created, files_modified, blockers
-
-### Step 5.3: Spawn Wave 2+ Workers (Sequential Waves)
-
-**Before each subsequent wave, display a wave separator:**
-```
-━━━ 🐜 Wave {X} of {N} ━━━
-```
-Then display the spawn announcement (same format as Step 5.1).
-
-Repeat Step 5.1-5.2 for each subsequent wave, waiting for previous wave to complete.
-
-### Step 5.4: Spawn Watcher for Verification
-
-**MANDATORY: Always spawn a Watcher — testing must be independent.**
-
-**Announce the verification wave:**
-```
-━━━ 👁️🐜 V E R I F I C A T I O N ━━━
-──── 👁️🐜 Spawning {watcher_name} — Independent verification ────
-```
-
-Spawn the Watcher using Task tool with `subagent_type="aether-watcher"`, include `description: "👁️ Watcher {Watcher-Name}: Independent verification"` (DO NOT use run_in_background - task blocks until complete):
-
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh spawn-log "Queen" "watcher" "{watcher_name}" "Independent verification"
-```
-
-**Watcher Worker Prompt (CLEAN OUTPUT):**
-```
-You are {Watcher-Name}, a 👁️🐜 Watcher Ant.
-
-Verify all work done by Builders in Phase {id}.
-
-Files to verify:
-- Created: {list from builder results}
-- Modified: {list from builder results}
-
-Verification:
-1. Check files exist (Read each)
-2. Run build/type-check
-3. Run tests if they exist
-4. Check success criteria: {list}
-
-Spawn sub-workers if needed:
-- Log: bash .aether/aether-utils.sh spawn-log "{Watcher-Name}" "watcher" "{child}" "{task}"
-- Announce: "🐜 Spawning {child} to investigate {issue}"
-
-Count your total tool calls (Read + Grep + Edit + Bash + Write) and report as tool_count.
-
-Return ONLY this JSON:
-{"ant_name": "{Watcher-Name}", "verification_passed": true|false, "files_verified": [], "issues_found": [], "quality_score": N, "tool_count": 0, "recommendation": "proceed|fix_required"}
-```
-
-### Step 5.5: Process Watcher Results
-
-**Task call returns results directly (no TaskOutput needed).**
-
-Validate watcher payload first:
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh validate-worker-response watcher '{watcher_json}'
-```
-
-**Parse the Watcher's validated JSON response:** verification_passed, issues_found, quality_score, recommendation
-
-**Display Watcher completion line:**
-
-For successful verification:
-```
-👁️ {Watcher-Name}: Independent verification ({tool_count} tools) ✓
-```
-
-For failed verification:
-```
-👁️ {Watcher-Name}: Independent verification ✗ ({issues_found count} issues after {tool_count} tools)
-```
-
-**Store results for synthesis in Step 5.7**
-
-### Step 5.6: Spawn Chaos Ant for Resilience Testing
-
-**After the Watcher completes, spawn a Chaos Ant to probe the phase work for edge cases and boundary conditions.**
-
-Generate a chaos ant name and log the spawn:
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh generate-ant-name "chaos"
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh spawn-log "Queen" "chaos" "{chaos_name}" "Resilience testing of Phase {id} work"
-```
-
-**Retrieve existing flags for this phase** (to avoid duplicate findings):
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh flag-list --phase {phase_number}
-```
-Parse the result and extract unresolved flag titles into a list: `{existing_flag_titles}` (comma-separated titles from `.result.flags[].title`). If no flags exist, set `{existing_flag_titles}` to "None".
-
-**Announce the resilience testing wave:**
-```
-──── 🎲🐜 Spawning {chaos_name} — resilience testing ────
-```
-
-Spawn the Chaos Ant using Task tool with `subagent_type="aether-chaos"`, include `description: "🎲 Chaos {Chaos-Name}: Resilience testing"` (DO NOT use run_in_background - task blocks until complete):
-
-**Chaos Ant Prompt (CLEAN OUTPUT):**
-```
-You are {Chaos-Name}, a 🎲🐜 Chaos Ant.
-
-Test Phase {id} work for edge cases and boundary conditions.
-
-Files to test:
-- {list from builder results}
-
-Skip these known issues: {existing_flag_titles}
-
-Rules:
-- Max 5 scenarios
-- Read-only (don't modify code)
-- Focus: edge cases, boundaries, error handling
-
-Count your total tool calls (Read + Grep + Edit + Bash + Write) and report as tool_count.
-
-Return ONLY this JSON:
-{"ant_name": "{Chaos-Name}", "scenarios_tested": 5, "findings": [{"id": 1, "category": "edge_case|boundary|error_handling", "severity": "critical|high|medium|low", "title": "...", "description": "..."}], "overall_resilience": "strong|moderate|weak", "tool_count": 0, "summary": "..."}
-```
-
-### Step 5.7: Process Chaos Ant Results
-
-**Task call returns results directly (no TaskOutput needed).**
-
-**Parse the Chaos Ant's JSON response:** findings, overall_resilience, summary
-
-**Display Chaos completion line:**
-```
-🎲 {Chaos-Name}: Resilience testing ({tool_count} tools) ✓
-```
-
-**Store results for synthesis in Step 5.9**
-
-**Flag critical/high findings:**
-
-If any findings have severity `"critical"` or `"high"`:
-```bash
-# Create a blocker flag for each critical/high chaos finding
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh flag-add "blocker" "{finding.title}" "{finding.description}" "chaos-testing" {phase_number}
-```
-
-Log the flag:
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh activity-log "FLAG" "Chaos" "Created blocker: {finding.title}"
-```
-
-Log chaos ant completion and update swarm display:
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh spawn-complete "{chaos_name}" "completed" "{summary}"
-```
-
-### Step 5.8: Create Flags for Verification Failures
-
-If the Watcher reported `verification_passed: false` or `recommendation: "fix_required"`:
-
-For each issue in `issues_found`:
-```bash
-# Create a blocker flag for each verification failure
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh flag-add "blocker" "{issue_title}" "{issue_description}" "verification" {phase_number}
-```
-
-Log the flag creation:
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh activity-log "FLAG" "Watcher" "Created blocker: {issue_title}"
-```
-
-This ensures verification failures are persisted as blockers that survive context resets. Chaos Ant findings are flagged in Step 5.7.
-
-### Step 5.9: Synthesize Results
-
-**This step runs after all worker tasks have completed (Builders, Watcher, Chaos).**
-
-Collect all worker outputs and create phase summary:
-
-```json
-{
-  "status": "completed" | "failed" | "blocked",
-  "summary": "...",
-  "tasks_completed": [...],
-  "tasks_failed": [...],
-  "files_created": [...],
-  "files_modified": [...],
-  "spawn_metrics": {
-    "spawn_count": {total workers spawned, including archaeologist if Step 4.5 fired},
-    "builder_count": {N},
-    "watcher_count": 1,
-    "chaos_count": 1,
-    "archaeologist_count": {0 or 1, conditional on Step 4.5},
-    "parallel_batches": {number of waves}
-  },
-  "spawn_tree": {
-    "{Archaeologist-Name}": {"caste": "archaeologist", "task": "pre-build history scan", "status": "completed"},
-    "{Builder-Name}": {"caste": "builder", "task": "...", "status": "completed"},
-    "{Watcher-Name}": {"caste": "watcher", "task": "verify", "status": "completed"},
-    "{Chaos-Name}": {"caste": "chaos", "task": "resilience testing", "status": "completed"}
-  },
-  "verification": {from Watcher output},
-  "resilience": {from Chaos Ant output},
-  "archaeology": {from Archaeologist output, or null if Step 4.5 was skipped},
-  "quality_notes": "..."
-}
-```
-
-**Graveyard Recording:**
-For each worker that returned `status: "failed"`:
-  For each file in that worker's `files_modified` or `files_created`:
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh grave-add "{file}" "{ant_name}" "{task_id}" {phase} "{first blocker or summary}"
-```
-  Log the grave marker:
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh activity-log "GRAVE" "Queen" "Grave marker placed at {file} — {ant_name} failed: {summary}"
-```
-
-**Error Handoff Update:**
-If workers failed, update handoff with error context for recovery:
-
-Resolve the build error handoff template path:
-  Check ~/.aether/system/templates/handoff-build-error.template.md first,
-  then .aether/templates/handoff-build-error.template.md.
-
-If no template found: output "Template missing: handoff-build-error.template.md. Run aether update to fix." and stop.
-
-Read the template file. Fill all {{PLACEHOLDER}} values:
-  - {{PHASE_NUMBER}} → current phase number
-  - {{PHASE_NAME}} → current phase name
-  - {{BUILD_TIMESTAMP}} → current ISO-8601 UTC timestamp
-  - {{FAILED_WORKERS}} → formatted list of failed workers (one "- {ant_name}: {failure_summary}" per line)
-  - {{GRAVE_MARKERS}} → formatted list of grave markers (one "- {file}: {caution_level} caution" per line)
-
-Remove the HTML comment lines at the top of the template.
-Write the result to .aether/HANDOFF.md using the Write tool.
-
-Only fires when workers fail. Zero impact on successful builds.
-
---- SPAWN TRACKING ---
-
-The spawn tree will be visible in `/ant:watch` because each spawn is logged.

-```
-
-### Step 6: Visual Checkpoint (if UI touched)
-
-Parse synthesis result. If `ui_touched` is true:
-
-```
-━━━ 🖼️🐜 V I S U A L   C H E C K P O I N T ━━━
-
-UI changes detected. Verify appearance before continuing.
-
-Files touched:
-{list files from files_created + files_modified that match UI patterns}
-
-Options:
-  1. Approve - UI looks correct
-  2. Reject - needs changes (describe issues)
-  3. Skip - defer visual review
-```
-
-Use AskUserQuestion to get approval. Record in events:
-- If approved: `"<timestamp>|visual_approved|build|Phase {id} UI approved"`
-- If rejected: `"<timestamp>|visual_rejected|build|Phase {id} UI rejected: {reason}"`
-
-### Step 6.5: Update Handoff Document
-
-After synthesis is complete, update the handoff document with current state for session recovery:
-
-```bash
-# Update handoff with build results
-jq -n \
-  --arg timestamp "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" \
-  --arg goal "$(jq -r '.goal' .aether/data/COLONY_STATE.json)" \
-  --arg phase "$(jq -r '.current_phase' .aether/data/COLONY_STATE.json)" \
-  --arg phase_name "{phase_name}" \
-  --arg status "{synthesis.status}" \
-  --arg summary "{synthesis.summary}" \
-  --argjson tasks_completed '{synthesis.tasks_completed | length}' \
-  --argjson tasks_failed '{synthesis.tasks_failed | length}' \
-  --arg next_action "{if synthesis.status == "completed" then "/ant:continue" else "/ant:flags" end}" \
-  '{
-    "last_updated": $timestamp,
-    "goal": $goal,
-    "current_phase": $phase,
-    "phase_name": $phase_name,
-    "build_status": $status,
-    "summary": $summary,
-    "tasks_completed": $tasks_completed,
-    "tasks_failed": $tasks_failed,
-    "next_recommended_action": $next_action,
-    "can_resume": true,
-    "note": "Phase build completed. Run /ant:continue to advance if verification passed."
-  }' > .aether/data/last-build-result.json
-```
-
-Resolve the build success handoff template path:
-  Check ~/.aether/system/templates/handoff-build-success.template.md first,
-  then .aether/templates/handoff-build-success.template.md.
-
-If no template found: output "Template missing: handoff-build-success.template.md. Run aether update to fix." and stop.
-
-Read the template file. Fill all {{PLACEHOLDER}} values:
-  - {{GOAL}} → colony goal (from COLONY_STATE.json)
-  - {{PHASE_NUMBER}} → current phase number
-  - {{PHASE_NAME}} → current phase name
-  - {{BUILD_STATUS}} → synthesis.status
-  - {{BUILD_TIMESTAMP}} → current ISO-8601 UTC timestamp
-  - {{BUILD_SUMMARY}} → synthesis summary
-  - {{TASKS_COMPLETED}} → count of completed tasks
-  - {{TASKS_FAILED}} → count of failed tasks
-  - {{FILES_CREATED}} → count of created files
-  - {{FILES_MODIFIED}} → count of modified files
-  - {{SESSION_NOTE}} → "Build succeeded — ready to advance." if status is completed, else "Build completed with issues — review before continuing."
-
-Remove the HTML comment lines at the top of the template.
-Write the result to .aether/HANDOFF.md using the Write tool.
-
-This ensures the handoff always reflects the latest build state, even if the session crashes before explicit pause.
-
-### Step 6.6: Update Context Document
-
-Log this build activity to `.aether/CONTEXT.md`:
-
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh context-update activity "build {phase_id}" "{synthesis.status}" "{files_created_count + files_modified_count}"
-```
-
-Mark build as complete in context:
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh context-update build-complete "{synthesis.status}" "{synthesis.status == 'completed' ? 'success' : 'failed'}"
-```
-
-Also update safe-to-clear status:
-- If build completed successfully: `context-update safe-to-clear "YES" "Build complete, ready to continue"`
-- If build failed: `context-update safe-to-clear "NO" "Build failed — run /ant:swarm or /ant:flags"`
-
-### Step 7: Display Results
-
-**This step runs ONLY after synthesis is complete. All values come from actual worker results.**
-
-**Display BUILD SUMMARY (always shown, replaces compact/verbose split):**
-
-Calculate `total_tools` by summing `tool_count` from all worker return JSONs (builders + watcher + chaos).
-Calculate `elapsed` using `build_started_at_epoch` (epoch integer captured at Step 5 start): `$(( $(date +%s) - build_started_at_epoch ))` formatted as Xm Ys.
-
-```
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-   B U I L D   S U M M A R Y
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-Phase {id}: {name}
-Pattern:  {selected_pattern}
-
-Workers:  {pass_count} passed  {fail_count} failed  ({total} total)
-Tools:    {total_tools} calls across all workers
-Duration: {elapsed}
-
-{if fail_count > 0:}
-Failed:
-  {for each failed worker:}
-  {caste_emoji} {Ant-Name}: {task_description} ✗ ({failure_reason} after {tool_count} tools)
-  {end for}
-
-Retry: /ant:swarm to auto-repair failed tasks, or /ant:flags to review blockers
-{end if}
-```
-
-**If verbose_mode is true**, additionally show the spawn tree and TDD details after the BUILD SUMMARY block (keep the existing verbose-only sections: Colony Work Tree, Tasks Completed, TDD, Patterns Learned, Debugging, Model Routing). Prepend with:
-```
-━━ Details (--verbose) ━━
-```
-
-After displaying the BUILD SUMMARY (and optional verbose details), display Next Steps based on synthesis results:
-```bash
-state=$(jq -r '.state // "IDLE"' .aether/data/COLONY_STATE.json 2>/dev/null || echo "IDLE")
-current_phase=$(jq -r '.current_phase // 0' .aether/data/COLONY_STATE.json 2>/dev/null || echo "0")
-total_phases=$(jq -r '.plan.phases | length' .aether/data/COLONY_STATE.json 2>/dev/null || echo "0")
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh print-next-up "$state" "$current_phase" "$total_phases"
-```
-
-**Routing Note:** The state-based Next Up block above routes based on colony state. If verification failed or blockers exist, review `/ant:flags` before continuing.
-
-**IMPORTANT:** Build does NOT update task statuses or advance state. Run `/ant:continue` to:
-- Mark tasks as completed
-- Extract learnings
-- Advance to next phase
-
-### Step 8: Update Session
-
-Update the session tracking file to enable `/ant:resume` after context clear:
-
-```bash
-bash .aether/aether-utils.sh session-update "/ant:build {phase_id}" "/ant:continue" "Phase {phase_id} build completed: {synthesis.status}"
-```
