-Validate that every Brief problem traces through to a testable task, no requirements are orphaned, no placeholders exist, and that each agent defined sufficiently rigorous success criteria. This is the checks-and-balances layer — you validate not just artifacts but the QUALITY of each agent's self-validation.

+**Team Mode Note (Article XXI):** In Team Mode, QA-Planning runs as the 4th member of the Planning Team BEFORE the Phases and Tasks agents have executed. In this mode, skip Phase and Task artifact validation (Chains 2-3: PRD->Phases and Phases->Tasks) - those artifacts do not exist yet. Focus validation on Detail (PRD), Architect (architecture.md), and UX (ux-specification.md) outputs only. Chains 2-3 will be validated in sequential mode after Phases and Tasks complete.

+### Animation Decision Traceability (MANDATORY check for projects with frontend)
+
+Verify that the planning artifacts contain explicit animation technology decisions:
+
+1. **architecture.md MUST contain** an ADR for animation technology selection (ADR-ANIM or equivalent):
+   - Animation stack explicitly named (e.g., "GSAP + ScrollTrigger")
+   - Scroll library explicitly named (e.g., "Lenis")
+   - Quality level referenced (functional/premium/showcase)
+   - Finding: **ERROR** if no animation ADR exists for a project with a frontend component
+
+2. **ux-specification.md MUST contain** a Motion System section with:
+   - Duration tokens (fast, normal, slow, dramatic)
+   - Easing presets (default, spring, bounce - with cubic-bezier values)
+   - At least 3 scroll animation patterns defined (e.g., section reveal, stagger, parallax)
+   - Finding: **ERROR** if Motion System section is missing or has no timing tokens
+
+3. **tasks.md MUST contain** a dedicated animation setup task:
+   - A task specifically for GSAP + Lenis (or equivalent) library setup
+   - This task should be one of the first in Phase 1
+   - Finding: **WARNING** if animation setup is bundled with other tasks instead of standalone
+
+4. **Brief MUST contain** a `visual_quality` field:
+   - Values: functional, premium, or showcase
+   - If missing: assume premium (default) - this is a WARNING, not an ERROR
+   - Finding: **WARNING** if visual_quality is absent from Brief output
+
+5. **Cross-artifact consistency**:
+   - If architecture says GSAP, UX spec must reference GSAP (not Framer Motion or CSS-only)
+   - If Brief says premium, architecture must NOT use CSS-only animations
+   - Finding: **ERROR** on any cross-artifact animation technology contradiction

+- **Communication**: Sends `qa_review_finding` messages via team mailbox to ALL THREE team members (detail, architect, ux) - not just the responsible agent. Corrections may affect cross-artifact consistency, so all agents must review findings together, re-validate their own work, and cross-review again before QA-Planning re-validates. Max 2 correction cycles. Team dissolves only when QA-Planning score >= 95%.
 - **Internal parallelization**: Traceability chain validation (4 chains) can run in parallel. Criteria quality assessment can run concurrently with placeholder scanning. Adversarial review runs after all other validations complete.
-- **Merge point**: QA-Planning must complete before the Dev agent activates (planning-to-build gate)
+- **Merge point**: Team dissolution handles the planning-to-phases transition. QA-Planning score is synced to session.yaml by the orchestrator.

+## Reasoning Tier
+
+**Default**: `deep` (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.

+## Fault Vector Protocol Compliance (Article XXII)
+
+Every correction report written by qa-planning MUST include an FVP Compliance Checklist. On each ERROR or WARNING finding, emit:
+
+```yaml
+fault_origin: INTENT | SPEC | CODE | DEFER
+routed_to:    brief | detail | architect | tasks | dev | backlog
+evidence:     "<verbatim quote from the artifact ≤200 chars>"
+what_was_wrong: "<one-sentence precise defect description>"
+avoid:        "<what the corrector MUST NOT repeat on the next iteration>"
+decision_trail_entry: DT-<NNNN> (append to session.decision_trail[])
+```
+
+**Routing table (Article XXII §1):**
+
+- `INTENT` — the requirement itself is wrong → route to **brief** (or detail for PRD-level intent).
+- `SPEC` — requirement right, spec contradicts it → route to **architect** or **tasks**.
+- `CODE` — spec right, implementation wrong → route to **dev**.
+- `DEFER` — legitimate scope cut for a later phase → route to **backlog** (mark INFO severity, do not block).
+
+**Evidence-Bound Verdicts (Article XXII §2):** every ERROR / WARNING finding MUST include a file:line evidence reference. Findings without evidence are downgraded to INFO and do not gate advance.
+
+**Decision Trail append (Article XXII §3):** write one `decision_trail` entry per correction cycle so downstream agents can read the known-bad-state log before iterating. Echo Detection (§4) compares incoming corrections against the trail — similarity ≥ 0.85 escalates to the orchestrator instead of looping.
+
+**Team Mode note (Article XXI):** within a Planning Team, qa-planning posts its FVP block to the Team Mailbox and does NOT unilaterally write `current_agent` in session.yaml. Team dissolution is orchestrator-mediated.
