+### Step 2b: Animation Inventory → Tasks (1:1 mapping, REQUIRED when inventory exists)
+
+Before producing the final task list, check for `artifacts/4-UX/animation-inventory.md`. If it exists, it is the SOURCE OF TRUTH for every animation-related task in the build. The brand-architect locked this artifact at the `advance ux` gate; your job is to convert it into tasks faithfully.
+
+**Required behavior when inventory exists:**
+
+1. **1:1 mapping rule.** Every row in `animation-inventory.md` MUST produce exactly one task. Not "one task for all animations". Not "a task that covers several patterns". One row = one T{X}.{Y} with a dedicated title, acceptance criteria, and size estimate.
+
+2. **Task titles echo the inventory pattern name.** If a row says "Horizontal pinned scroll with step snap (oryzo/services)", the task title is `Implement horizontal pinned scroll with step snap (oryzo/services)` — not `Add services section animation` and not `Scroll interactions for services page`. The specificity is load-bearing: it is how QA-Visual Mode 2 later checks per-pattern reproduction.
+
+3. **Acceptance criteria cite parameters from the inventory.** For a step-snap pattern, the Given-When-Then must mention the exact stagger/scrub/easing/stage-count from the inventory row's Parameters column:
+   ```
+   Given the /services page is scrolled into the pinned section
+   When the user scrolls wheel/trackpad or swipes touch
+   Then the pin advances one stage at a time (5 stages total) using EASINGS.cinematic, scrub=2, with a 600ms entry cooldown and a 500ms wheel-accumulator reset.
+   ```
+
+4. **Reproducible-via column becomes the implementation hint.** Cite the exact scaffold template the dev should import from — e.g. "Implement using `lib/animations/useScrollSnapStepper.ts` (ships via scaffold motion-premium, Phase 2)". Dev must NOT reinvent a pattern the scaffold already provides.
+
+5. **Target route becomes the task scope.** If the inventory row specifies `/services`, the task acts on that route only. A single pattern that applies globally (preloader, page transition) produces one task and gets marked as scope `*`.
+
+6. **Task size from pattern complexity.** Use the Animation Task Sizing Guide below, but adjust for scaffold leverage: if Reproducible-via points to an existing template, size is typically S (<2h) — mostly wiring, not authoring. If the inventory row has no Reproducible-via (escalation was approved), size jumps to M or L because dev is authoring a new pattern.
+
+**Forbidden patterns (will fail QA-Visual Mode 2):**
+
+- Task called "Add scroll reveals" when inventory specifies 5 named patterns. This collapses specificity and means Dev ends up improvising.
+- Task called "Implement Oryzo-style animations" when inventory enumerates the specific Oryzo patterns row-by-row. Use the specific row titles.
+- Merging two inventory rows into one task "because they share a mechanism". Even if both use `useScrollSnapStepper`, different sections have different parameters (stage count, cooldown). Two rows = two tasks.
+- Omitting a scaffold citation. Every animation task that maps to an inventory row with a Reproducible-via must carry that citation in its description; otherwise Dev has no hint which primitive to reach for.
+
+**When no inventory exists (no premium refs cited):**
+
+Proceed with standard task breakdown. The animation portion of tasks may remain lighter-weight ("Add hover transition on CTA buttons") because the user did not promise premium patterns. Do not fabricate an inventory just to have one — the gate at `advance ux` only requires it when premium refs were cited.
+
+**Cross-references:**
+
+- Inventory producer: `chati.dev/agents/plan/ux-brand-architect.md` → "Phase 5: Animation Inventory".
+- QA-Visual Mode 2 checklist consumer: `chati.dev/agents/quality/qa-visual.md` → "Phase 3b: Animation Inventory Checklist".
+- Scaffold primitives to cite: `scaffold/motion-premium/lib/animations/*.ts.template` + `scaffold/motion-premium/components/animation/*.tsx.template`.

+| 3D elements (Three.js/R3F) | **L** | React Three Fiber setup + scene + controls + responsive |
+| Parallax backgrounds | **S** | GSAP ScrollTrigger parallax effect on section backgrounds |
+
+**IMPORTANT**: ALWAYS create a dedicated task for the animation system setup (GSAP + Lenis + base animation components) as one of the FIRST tasks in Phase 1. Do NOT bundle animation setup with other tasks.
+
+The animation setup task should produce:
+- LenisProvider component (smooth scroll)
+- ScrollReveal component (fade-up on scroll entry)
+- ParallaxSection component (parallax background)

 ## Domain Rules
 
-1. **Every task is atomic**: Tasks must do one thing — "Implement feature X and add tests" is two tasks, not one
-2. **Given-When-Then is mandatory**: Free-form acceptance criteria are never acceptable — every criterion must follow the structured format
-3. **No XL tasks in final output**: Any task exceeding 8 hours must be split — XL is a decomposition signal, not a valid final size
-4. **Execution order is explicit**: Tasks must have clear dependency chains and parallelization markers — unordered lists are insufficient
-5. **Traceability is bidirectional**: Every task maps to a requirement, and every requirement maps to at least one task — gaps in either direction are validation failures
-6. **Dependencies are precise**: Task dependencies reference specific task IDs, not vague descriptions — "depends on auth" is insufficient; "depends on T1.2" is required

+## Reasoning Tier
+
+**Default**: `standard` (Article XXIII — Reasoning Tier Governance).
+
+The `reasoning-escalator.js` hook promotes this agent to a higher tier on friction signals (correction cycles >= 2, decision-trail entries > 2, task touches > 5 files or > 200 lines, user keywords like "stuck"/"loop"/"redesign", cross-viewport regression, explicit `/ultraplan` or `/deliberate`). A `/quick` command forces the tier back to `standard`.
+
+When the tier is `deliberate`, the hook blocks `Write`/`Edit` calls on source files until `.planning/<task>-plan.md` exists. See `chati.dev/hooks/reasoning-escalator.js` for the full trigger list and `chati.dev/constitution.md` Article XXIII for governance rules.
