+
+**Other technologies:** find the document's other technology, library and framework names, skipping each term that names a `mentioned` skill:
 
 **Section-based detection:**
 - Identify section headings that indicate technology listings (e.g., "Tech Stack", "Dependencies", "Technologies", "Libraries", layer-specific headings)
 - Extract technology names listed under these headings
 
-**Direct name matching:**
-- Scan the full document for names that match loaded skill names (case-insensitive)
-- Apply alias resolution from {coveragePatternsData} (e.g., "React" matches "react", "PostgreSQL" matches "postgres")

 - Identify technology names mentioned in prose alongside architectural descriptions
 - Look for version-pinned references (e.g., "Express v4", "Tailwind CSS 3.x")

Never type the line yourself.
+
+## Emitting a Halt
+
+Every HALT names its exit code, `halt_reason` and phase. In headless mode, stage `{run_dir}/halt.json` as `{"phase": "<phase>", "reason": "<the halt message>", "halt_reason": "<halt_reason>"}`, adding `"report_path": "{outputFile}"` once step 1 §4 wrote the report, `"report_latest_path": "{outputFileLatest}"` once step 6 §1 published it, and `"path"` when the halt names one. `{emitEnvelopeHelper}` is the first of `{project-root}/_bmad/skf/shared/scripts/skf-emit-result-envelope.py` and `{project-root}/src/shared/scripts/skf-emit-result-envelope.py` that exists (each stage lists both as `emitEnvelopeProbeOrder`). Run:

+```bash
+uv run {emitEnvelopeHelper} emit-halt --workflow skf-verify-stack --run-dir "{run_dir}" --target stderr < "{run_dir}/halt.json"
+```
+
+The emitter sets `status: "error"`, derives `exit_code` from `halt_reason`, stamps `run_id` and gives every other field its default. Display the line it prints, then stop with the halt's exit code. If neither path exists, or the emitter exits non-zero or prints no line, display the halt message alone. An interactive HALT displays its message and emits nothing. A HALT before the run folder exists passes the payload on stdin instead (init.md's pre-flight shows the command).

+
+Display the line it prints, then stop with the halt's exit code (`references/exit-codes.md` describes the envelope). If no candidate exists, or the emitter exits non-zero or prints no line, display the halt message alone. An interactive HALT displays its message and emits nothing.
+
+**Pre-flight: run folder and write probe.** Both run before the first prompt. Create the run folder:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p "{project-root}/_bmad-output/.skf-run" && mkdir "{run_dir}"
+```
+
+If the command fails, HALT (exit code 4, `halt_reason: "write-failed"`) at phase `init:run-folder`: "Cannot create the run folder `{run_dir}`: {the first stderr line}." With no folder to stage in, a headless run passes the payload to the emitter directly, with `"customization_resolver_unavailable": "<reason>"` added when SKILL.md On Activation step 4 kept one:
+
+```bash
+uv run {emitEnvelopeHelper} emit-halt --workflow skf-verify-stack --target stderr <<'SKF_VS_HALT'
+{"phase": "init:run-folder", "reason": "<the halt message>", "halt_reason": "write-failed"}
+SKF_VS_HALT
+```
+
+Once the folder exists and `{customization_resolver_unavailable}` is set (SKILL.md On Activation step 4), record the reason in the run sink: write `customization_resolver_unavailable: {customization_resolver_unavailable}` to `{run_dir}/resolver-warning.txt` with a file write, never `echo` (the reason can hold quotes or `$( )`), then run `uv run {emitEnvelopeHelper} record --run-dir "{run_dir}" --warning "$(cat "{run_dir}/resolver-warning.txt")"`.
+
+Then check that `forge_data_folder`, which `{outputFolderPath}` names, was resolved from config.yaml and is non-empty. If it is undefined or empty: "**Cannot proceed.** `forge_data_folder` is not configured in config.yaml. Re-run [SF] Setup Forge to initialize." HALT (exit code 3, `halt_reason: "forge-folder-unconfigured"`) at phase `init:forge-data-folder`.
+
+Then verify `{outputFolderPath}` is writable: a read-only mount, full disk, or permissions-denied path otherwise only surfaces at §4's atomic write, after the user has gone through the input prompts.
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p "{outputFolderPath}" && \
+  printf 'probe' > "{outputFolderPath}/.skf-write-probe" && \
+  rm "{outputFolderPath}/.skf-write-probe"
+```
+
+On any non-zero exit: HALT (exit code 4, `halt_reason: "write-failed"`) at phase `init:write-probe`, with `"path": "{outputFolderPath}"`.
+
+**Bind `{project_slug}`.** Resolve `{validateFeasibilityReportHelper}` from `{validateFeasibilityReportProbeOrder}`; first existing path wins. Run:
+
+```bash
+uv run {validateFeasibilityReportHelper} --locate "{outputFolderPath}" --project-name "{project_name}"
+```
+
+Bind `{project_slug}` ← `projectSlug`, whatever `status` says: this run needs only the slug, and the helper holds the one slug rule that the consumers of this report apply when they look for it.

 ### 1. Accept Input Documents
 
-"**Verify Stack — Feasibility Analysis** (read-only — never modifies your skills, architecture doc, or PRD).
+**Ask only for what no flag answered.** A path the invocation gave (`{architecture_doc_path}`, `{prd_path}`, `{previous_report_path}`, bound at activation) is used in every mode and never asked for again.

 If you meant to *generate* skills first, type `cancel` and run `[CS] Create Skill` or `[QS] Quick Skill`. Otherwise, please provide the following:
-1. **Architecture document path** (REQUIRED) — your project's architecture doc

+3. **Previous feasibility report path** (OPTIONAL): a timestamped report from an earlier run, for delta comparison. Leave it empty to compare against the most recent one found.
 
 Or type `cancel` / `exit` / `:q` at any prompt to abort cleanly."
 
-Wait for user input. **GATE [default: use args]** — If `{headless_mode}` and `--architecture-doc` was provided: use that path and auto-proceed, log: "headless: using provided architecture path". If `--prd` and/or `--previous-report` were provided, consume them at the corresponding sub-validations below. If `--architecture-doc` is absent in headless: HALT (exit code 2, `halt_reason: "input-missing"`) and emit the error envelope.
+When the prompt shows, wait for user input, and bind each answer to its variable (an empty answer leaves an optional one null). **GATE [default: use args]**: headless asks nothing. With `{architecture_doc_path}` set it auto-proceeds and logs "headless: using provided architecture path"; with it null: HALT (exit code 2, `halt_reason: "input-missing"`) at phase `init:input-documents`. A null `{prd_path}` skips the requirements pass, and a null `{previous_report_path}` compares against the newest earlier report.
 
 - If the user enters `cancel`, `exit`, `[X]`, `q`, or `:q` at any sub-prompt below: Display "Cancelled — no analysis was performed." and HALT (exit code 6, `halt_reason: "user-cancelled"`).
 
-**Validate architecture document:**
+**Validate the architecture document** (`{architecture_doc_path}`):

+- HALT (exit code 2, `halt_reason: "input-invalid"`) at phase `init:architecture-doc`, with `"path"` set to the path given, if the user cannot provide a valid path; a headless run has no one to ask, so it halts at once.
 
-**Validate PRD document (if provided):**

+- If missing → "PRD document not found at `{path}`. Proceeding without PRD: the requirements pass will be skipped." Set `{prd_path}` to null.
 - Store PRD availability as `prdAvailable: true|false`
 
-**Validate previous report (if provided):**
-- Confirm the file exists and is readable
-- **Collision check:** Resolve `{outputFile}` from the activation-stored `{outputFolderPath}`, `{project_slug}`, and `{timestamp}`. Then compare both the provided path and `{outputFile}` via `(st_dev, st_ino)` tuples obtained from `stat(2)` on each path (do not rely on absolute-path string equality — symlinks, bind mounts, and case-insensitive filesystems can defeat string comparison). If `{outputFile}` does not yet exist, resolve its parent via `realpath`, stat that directory, and combine `(st_dev, parent_ino, basename)` for comparison. If the two paths resolve to the same inode, warn: "The previous report path points to the same inode as the new report. This file will be overwritten during this run. Provide a path to a backup copy, or leave empty to skip delta comparison." HALT (exit code 5, `halt_reason: "previous-report-collision"`) until resolved. In headless, emit the error envelope.
-- If missing → "Previous report not found at `{path}`. Proceeding without delta comparison."
-- Store as `previousReport: {path}` (or empty string if not provided)
+**Resolve the previous report.** Run the previous-report helper, with `--provided` set to `{previous_report_path}` when it is set, and without it otherwise:
+
+```bash
+uv run {previousReportScript} --folder "{outputFolderPath}" --slug "{project_slug}" --timestamp "{timestamp}" [--provided "<path>"]
+```
 
-**Auto-discover a prior report (only when none was provided above):** If neither `--previous-report` nor an interactive previous-report path was given, glob `{outputFolderPath}` for `feasibility-report-{project_slug}-*.md`, excluding this run's `{timestamp}` file and `feasibility-report-{project_slug}-latest.md`. Every run writes a new timestamped report, so a usable prior usually already persists on disk with no manual backup. If one or more matches remain, pick the most recent by the embedded `YYYYMMDD-HHmmss` timestamp:
-- Interactive: offer "Found a prior report from `{date}` — compare against it? **[Y]** use it / paste a different path / **[skip]**". On [Y], set `previousReport` to that path; on a pasted path, use it; on `skip`, leave `previousReport` empty.
-- **GATE [default: Y]** — If `{headless_mode}`: auto-select the most recent match, set `previousReport` to it, log: "headless: delta comparison against `{path}`".
-- Excluding this run's `{timestamp}` and `-latest` files guarantees the auto-selected path is a distinct inode from `{outputFile}`, so it can never trip the collision check above.
-- If no match remains, leave `previousReport` empty — first run, no delta.
+It never returns a file this run writes (`{outputFile}` or `{outputFileLatest}`); without `--provided` it picks the newest earlier report that finished. When it prints no JSON (exit 2, a usage error), the line it prints names the flag it rejected: fix that flag's value and run it again. Otherwise branch on `status`:

-The helper walks `{skills_output_folder}`, reads each `metadata.json`, applies the exports cascade (metadata → references/ → SKILL.md prose), maps `confidence_tier` (T1/T2/T1-low), captures stack-skill cycles via `composes:`, and emits structured JSON with one entry per skill plus a top-level `warnings[]` array. Cache the result as `skill_inventory` (used by §3, §4, §5, and the integrations + coverage stages).
+**Resolve `{enumerateStackSkillsHelper}`** from `{enumerateStackSkillsProbeOrder}`; first existing path wins. If no candidate exists: HALT (exit code 3, `halt_reason: "resolution-failure"`) at phase `init:inventory`.
 
-Each helper-emitted entry includes: `skill_name`, `version`, `language`, `confidence_tier`, `exports` (cascade-resolved), `source_repo`, `source_root`, plus a `metadata_hash` for change-detection across runs. The helper's `warnings[]` carries per-skill skip reasons (missing manifest, malformed JSON, non-symlink `active`, orphan-versions, schema-version violations).
+**Enumerate the skills with the shared helper:**
 
-`--reliability` additionally attaches the inventory reliability verdict: `inventory_reliable` (bool), `unreliable_ratio` (float), `skill_count`, and `warning_count`.
+```bash
+uv run {enumerateStackSkillsHelper} enumerate {skills_output_folder} --reliability > "{inventoryFile}"
+```
 
-**Failure-budget guard:** Read `inventory_reliable` from the helper JSON. If it is `false`, HALT (exit code 7, `halt_reason: "inventory-unreliable"`) with: "Inventory scan unreliable — {warning_count}/{skill_count + warning_count} skills returned malformed metadata or skip warnings. Re-run [VS] after skills stabilize." (substitute `warning_count` and `skill_count + warning_count` from the helper JSON). In headless, emit the error envelope. The helper's threshold is chosen so a single malformed skill in a small 3-5 skill inventory does not trip the halt.
+If the command exits non-zero, HALT (exit code 3, `halt_reason: "resolution-failure"`) at phase `init:inventory`, naming its first stderr line. Read `{inventoryFile}` now: every later stage reads the inventory from it, not from context.
 
-**Capture mtime:** For each accepted skill in `skill_inventory`, also record `metadata.json`'s mtime via `stat` into the entry as `metadata_mtime`. Step-03 will re-verify this to detect mid-run modifications.
+The helper reads only the skills SKF generated (its `--help` says how it picks each package and resolves its exports). The later stages read these fields of each `skills[]` entry: `name` (the folder name), `path` (the package, relative to `{skills_output_folder}`), `exports`, `exports_source`, `confidence` (from the exports source, not metadata's `confidence_tier`), `evidence_tier` (`T1`, `T1-low`, `T2` or `T3`, one scale for every skill type), `confidence_tier`, `metadata_schema_version`, `language` (a string, or a list for a stack), `exports_documented`, `source_repo_basename` and `source_root_basename`, so no stage opens `metadata.json`. `warnings[]` names per-skill problems, each starting `<name>: `. The file is `skill_inventory` (used by §3, §4, §5, the coverage and integrations stages, and synthesize's delta and Evidence Sources table), and bind `{not_skf_output}` ← `not_skf_output`, `{inventory_reliable}` ← `inventory_reliable`, `{warning_count}` ← `warning_count`, `{skill_count}` ← `skill_count` and `{inventory_warnings}` ← `warnings`. When `{not_skf_output}` is non-empty, display it once: "Skipped (not SKF output): {not_skf_output}". Those folders, such as a module's own skills in a shared skills folder, are not in `skills[]` and count toward neither `{skill_count}` nor `{warning_count}`.
 
-**Fallback path — graceful degradation when the helper is unavailable:** If `{enumerateStackSkillsHelper}` has no existing candidate (e.g. partial installation), fall through to the LLM-driven subagent fan-out: launch up to **8 subagents concurrently**, each reading one resolved skill package's `metadata.json` and returning the same JSON shape the helper would emit. In this branch `inventory_reliable` is unavailable, so compute the failure-budget guard inline: when `warning_count / (skill_count + warning_count) > 0.20`, HALT (exit code 7, `halt_reason: "inventory-unreliable"`) with the same message as the primary path. In headless, emit the error envelope.
+**Failure-budget guard:** If `{inventory_reliable}` is false, HALT (exit code 7, `halt_reason: "inventory-unreliable"`) at phase `init:inventory` with: "Inventory scan unreliable: {warning_count} warning(s) across {skill_count} skill(s) SKF generated: {inventory_warnings}.

-**Filename variables:** `project_slug` and `timestamp` were fixed at activation per SKILL.md On Activation §2; reuse them, do not re-derive. `{outputFile}` and `{outputFileLatest}` resolve from them per the stage frontmatter template — the latter a copy, not a symlink (per schema).
