+v3.5 is a ground-up rewrite focused on reliability over feature count:
+- **Unified version** across all 21 agents and commands
+- **Trimmed config** — removed 260 lines of settings for unimplemented features
+- **Single router** — eliminated duplicate routing logic that caused agent spawn failures
+- **GSD-proven architecture** — rebuilt on patterns validated in production

-CTX learns from your codebase and preferences:
-
-```
-[LEARNER] Applying 3 learned preferences
-
-1. Using Zod for validation
-   → Based on pattern P001 (95% confidence, 12 observations)
-
-2. Functional components only
-   → Based on decision D005 (explicit preference)
-
-3. Avoiding moment.js, using date-fns
-   → Based on failure F001 (bundle size)
-```
-
-Memory stored in `.ctx/memory/`:
-- `patterns.json` - Code patterns you prefer
-- `decisions.json` - Past architectural decisions
-- `failures.json` - What didn't work
-- `preferences.json` - Communication style
-- `conventions.json` - Naming and structure
-
-Commands:

-   ├─ ROI: 9/10
-   ├─ Effort: Medium (2-3 days)
-   └─ Impact: +15-25% recovered revenue
-
-2. Product Reviews & Ratings
-   ├─ ROI: 9/10
-   ├─ Effort: Low (1-2 days)
-   └─ Impact: +18% conversion rate

-/ctx predict --quick        # Quick wins only (< 1 day)
-/ctx predict --create [id]  # Create story from suggestion
-```
-
-### Self-Healing Deployments
-Monitor production errors and auto-fix:
-
-```bash
-/ctx monitor connect sentry  # Connect Sentry
-/ctx monitor errors          # List recent errors
-/ctx monitor auto-fix [id]   # Auto-fix with PR
-/ctx monitor --watch         # Continuous monitoring
-```
-
-Auto-fix workflow:
-```
-1. Sentry reports: "TypeError in checkout.ts:45"
-2. CTX analyzes error pattern
-3. If safe pattern (null check, import, etc.):
-   → Auto-generates fix
-   → Runs tests
-   → Creates PR
-   → Notifies team
-4. If complex pattern:
-   → Creates fix story
-   → Assigns priority
-   → Provides context
-```
-
-Supports: Sentry, LogRocket, Bugsnag, Datadog
-
-### Voice Control
-Speak your requirements instead of typing:
-
-```bash
-/ctx voice                  # Start voice input
-/ctx voice --continuous     # Always listening
-/ctx voice --dictate        # Long-form input
-```
-
-```
-[VOICE] 🎤 Listening...
-
-User: "Create a story for user authentication
-       with email login and forgot password"
-
-[VOICE] Story created:
-
-  Title: User Authentication
-  Criteria:
-    ✓ User can login with email/password
-    ✓ Forgot password sends reset email
-    ✓ Session persists across browser
-
-Add to PRD? [Y/n/edit]
