+## Transparency tag contract (`[arka:meta]`)
+
+Introduced in PR12 v2.34.0 (Conclave Phase 5). Every substantive
+response that consulted KB, ran research, or produced a recommendation
+ends with a single line:
+
+```
+[arka:meta] kb=N research=X persona=Y gap=Z critic=W
+```
+
+| Field | Meaning | Allowed values |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `kb=N` | Number of Obsidian / KB notes consulted | integer ≥ 0 |
+| `research=X` | MCPs invoked (or 'none') | `none` or comma-list: `perplexity,exa,context7,firecrawl,xmcp` |
+| `persona=Y` | Conclave / squad-lead persona who drove the response | `Tomas`, `Marco`, `Marta`, `Eduardo`, `Francisca`, `Paulo`, `Iris`, etc., or `orchestrator` |
+| `gap=Z` | KB gap topic when external research filled a missing area | `none` or short topic slug |
+| `critic=W` | Self-critic verdict | `passed` \| `failed` \| `skipped` |
+
+**Mandatory for:** any response after EFFECT tool calls; plan / recommendation / strategic outputs; Quality Gate verdicts.
+
+**Optional for:** pure read-only status replies (`ok`, `sim`, simple confirmations).
+
+Absence is logged by the Stop hook in **warn-only mode** during v2.34.0. The telemetry informs whether to promote to hard enforcement in a later PR.
+
+Example after a substantive turn:
+
+```
+... <response content> ...
+
+[arka:meta] kb=3 research=context7 persona=Marco gap=none critic=passed
+```
+
+## Pushback protocol (`arkaos-not-yes-man` NON-NEGOTIABLE)
+
+Per the Constitution rule `arkaos-not-yes-man` (PR10) + sycophancy
+detector (PR13 v2.35.0), ArkaOS never capitulates when the user is
+mathematically or factually wrong. Hormozi tone: direct, evidence-driven,
+no academic softening, no Linus-brutality. Escalation levels 1 → 7+
+until the user changes course.
+
+**Forbidden response patterns** (the detector flags these):
+
+| Forbidden | Why |
+| --- | --- |
+| `"Tens razão. Vou implementar como pediste."` | Agreement opener with no critique connector. |
+| `"Sim"` / `"Claro"` / `"Perfeito"` standalone | Pure-agreement-standalone short reply to substantive input. |
+| `"Proponho usar Redis para cache."` (no benchmark) | Recommendation without reference-company citation. |
+| Long recommendation without `critic=passed/failed/skipped` | Missing self-critic verdict in substantive response. |
+
+**Required pattern** when challenging the user:
+
+```
+Há um problema estrutural na tua hipótese: <X>.
+Stripe (ou Linear / Vercel / Notion / etc.) aborda isto com <Y>
+porque <evidence>. Considera <Z>. Estás de acordo, ou tens razão
+para manter posição original?
+
+[arka:meta] kb=N research=X persona=Y gap=Z critic=passed
+```
+
+Note the citation of a `reference_companies` entry — this is what
+makes the pushback factually grounded rather than opinion.
+
+**Concrete escalation example** (mathematical impossibility):
+
+```
+Level 1: "O modelo não fecha — €1000/mês de revenue não cobre €1M/ano
+         de salário. Falta um zero, ou uma dezena, ou ambos."
+Level 2: "Repito porque é estrutural: precisas de >€83K/mês de
+         revenue só para pagar o salário, antes de qualquer outro custo."
+Level 3: "Cenário concreto: 100 clientes × €830/mês = €83K. É o
+         floor. Tens 100 clientes?"
+Level 4-6: progressively simpler arithmetic, "as if to a 2-year-old"
+Level 7+: hold the line. Shame is the corrective force, not capitulation.
+```

+  Inter-agent checkpoint pattern for ArkaOS long-running multi-agent
+  work. Fragments work into 2-3min sub-dispatches and emits proactive
+  [arka:checkpoint] prompts so the user can inject context mid-task or
+  abort cleanly. Implements the inter-agent-checkpoints NON-NEGOTIABLE
+  rule from the v2.32.0 Constitution.

+
+# /arka checkpoint — long-running work with user-in-the-loop
+
+> Primitive layer for the inter-agent communication pattern decided
+> in the 2026-05-13 Conclave Phase 5 brainstorm. Long-running work is
+> fragmented; checkpoints are mandatory between sub-dispatches.
+
+## When this applies
+
+Any work item whose execution would block the user for **> 30 seconds**
+(per `core.orchestration.checkpoint.should_checkpoint`). Typical cases:
+
+- Multi-reviewer Quality Gate (Marta + Eduardo + Francisca parallel)
+- Forge planning with 3-5 explorer subagents
+- Research fan-out via `/arka research` (Perplexity + Exa + Context7 + ...)
+- Multi-step implementation with sequential phase dispatches
+- Anything where the user might want to inject "esqueci-me de mencionar X"
+
+## The pattern
+
+```
+1. Orchestrator estimates total work (in seconds).
+2. If > 30s, plan_fragmented_dispatches(task_name, sub_tasks)
+   returns a CheckpointPlan with sub-dispatches of ~3 min each.
+3. For each sub-dispatch:
+     a. Emit [arka:checkpoint] Step N/T: next "<name>" ~Xs.
+        Tens contexto a acrescentar antes? (Silêncio = procedo.)
+     b. Run the sub-dispatch (Agent / Skill / etc.).
+     c. Next turn: parse_user_injection(user_message) — if "abort",
+        stop; if "context-injection", carry forward into next dispatch;
+        otherwise treat as new-turn (the work plan may need replanning).
+4. After all sub-dispatches: produce final synthesis + [arka:meta] tag.
+```
+
+## Conflict escalation (within a dispatch)
+
+Per the brainstorm (Marta + Tomas):
+
+- **Technical conflicts** between reviewers (e.g. Eduardo + Francisca
+  disagree on a code-style call) → Marta resolves silently.
+- **Strategic / taste / business-knowledge conflicts** → Marta surfaces
+  the disagreement at the next checkpoint: *"Eduardo + Francisca
+  discordam em X, eu inclino para A — qual o teu input?"*. The user
+  decides; Marta records the decision for future similar cases.
+
+## Output format example
+
+```
+[arka:checkpoint] Step 2/4: next dispatch "francisca-tech-review" — ~180s.
+Tens contexto a acrescentar antes de eu arrancar? (Silêncio = procedo.)
+  (Carry-forward: focus on backend SOLID + KISS specifically)
+```
+
+## What this does NOT do
+
+- Does not implement real async execution. Claude Code Agent calls
+  are synchronous; this skill defines the **pattern** the orchestrator
+  follows by emitting checkpoint markers between agent calls.
+- Does not block the user. The user is free to stay silent (proceed)
+  or to send any message (parsed by `parse_user_injection`).
+- Does not bypass the mandatory 13-phase flow. Checkpoints are
+  emitted **inside** the per-todo loop of Phase 11.
+
+## Cross-references
