 ## 1. OBJECTIVE
-The booster must:
-- make lint run correctly from the terminal
-- make typecheck run correctly from the terminal when the project uses TypeScript
+This booster is focused on static audit health:
+- lint
+- typecheck
+
+It must:
 - treat the terminal as the official source of truth
-- respect the real project stack already documented in `.devbooster/rules/PROJECT.md`
-- detect common bypasses and suppressions that hide static-analysis debt
-- normalize the setup with minimal, conservative changes
-- classify findings into safe fixes versus deep-review items
+- respect the real project context already documented in `.devbooster/rules/PROJECT.md`
+- detect and remove masking that hides warnings or errors

-## 5. PRE-FLIGHT (MANDATORY AND ACTIVE)
-Start working immediately.
+## 3. AUDIT DISCIPLINE
+The booster has only two missions:
+- run lint correctly
+- run typecheck correctly
 
-### Step A — Align runtime before Node-based commands
-First, check whether the project's current terminal runtime is already healthy.
+Signals such as:
+- monorepo / workspace
+- package manager choice
+- `.nvmrc`
+- `tsconfig.*.json`
+- package-local scripts
+
+exist only to help choose the correct:
+- runtime
+- package manager
+- command
+- project scope
+
+They are not separate workstreams.
+If a scenario exists but does not materially affect lint or typecheck execution, coverage, or trustworthiness, do not turn it into noise.
+
+## 4. PRE-FLIGHT
+Start working immediately.
 
+### Step A — Align runtime
 Before any `npm`, `npx`, `node`, `tsc`, `next`, lint, or typecheck command:
-- if the required runtime and package manager are already working correctly in the current project terminal context, do NOT run `nvm use`
-- do not assume the package manager is always `npm`; inspect the project and use `pnpm`, `yarn`, `bun`, or `npm` according to the real setup
-- if the required Node-based runtime is unavailable or clearly misaligned, then check whether `.nvmrc` exists
+- if the required runtime and package manager already work in the current project terminal context, do NOT run `nvm use`
+- do not assume the package manager is always `npm`; use `pnpm`, `yarn`, `bun`, or `npm` according to the real setup
+- if the required Node-based runtime is unavailable or clearly misaligned, check whether `.nvmrc` exists
 - only if `.nvmrc` exists and runtime is not healthy, run `nvm use` and try again
-- if `.nvmrc` does not exist, do NOT run `nvm use`; continue with the available runtime strategy and report the blocker if the required runtime or package manager is still unavailable
+- if `.nvmrc` does not exist, do NOT run `nvm use`
 
 If this project required `nvm use` once to become healthy, then every new terminal execution that depends on Node must run `nvm use` again before the actual command.
 This repeat rule applies only to projects that actually needed NVM alignment.
 
-### Step B — Check whether audit tooling exists
-Only after runtime is aligned, inspect what is necessary to answer:
-- which package manager the project actually uses
-- whether this is a single app or a monorepo / workspace
-- whether lint and typecheck live at the root, package level, or both
-- is there a `lint` script?
-- is there a `typecheck` script or equivalent check command?
-- is ESLint config present?
-- is `tsconfig.json` or some `tsconfig.*.json` variant present?
-- is the project using framework wrappers such as `next lint`?
-- are the terminal commands actually runnable in the correct scope?
-
-These checks exist to choose the correct runtime, package manager, command, and project scope for the same two missions: lint and typecheck.
-They are not separate correction tracks by themselves.
-If a scenario check does not materially affect lint or typecheck execution, coverage, or trustworthiness, do not turn it into noise for the user.
-
-If this is a monorepo or workspace, do not assume the root command is the correct command.
-Find the right package/scope first.
-
-### Step C — Check whether lint is honest
-Do not trust the presence of a script alone.
-Inspect for common bypasses.
-This audit must prefer honest enforcement over preserving broad project-wide suppressions.
-If the user activated this booster, the default assumption is that they want full visibility of warnings and errors.

-## 7. EXECUTION FLOW
-Follow this order:
-
-### Phase 1 — Make audit runnable
-If lint or typecheck is missing, broken, masked, noisy, or scoped incorrectly:
-- repair the minimal setup
-- remove or neutralize obvious bypasses
-- remove clearly abusive global masking before Round 1
-- choose the correct package manager and scope
-- rerun until the terminal commands are trustworthy
-
-The goal here is not to "fix monorepo" or "fix package manager" as separate workstreams.
-The goal is to use those signals to reach the correct lint and typecheck execution path.
-If one of these scenario signals exists but does not block or weaken the audit, simply continue.
-
-### Phase 2 — Run the first real audit round
-Once operational, run:
-- the official lint command
-- the official typecheck command, when TypeScript is present
-
-This first round must stay fast and pragmatic.
-
-### Phase 3 — Classify Round 1 findings
-Always split results into:
-- **Setup Issues** → config, scope, parser, wrapper mismatch, bypasses, broken scripts, stale tsconfig entries, runtime misalignment, wrong package manager, wrong workspace/package target
-- **Lint Findings** → lint-only findings
-- **Typecheck Findings** → type-only findings
-- **Lot 1 — Safe Fixes** → low-risk, behavior-preserving fixes
-- **Lot 2 — Needs Deeper Analysis** → not safe to change based only on the first pass
-
-### Phase 4 — Propose Lot 1 execution
-After Round 1, ask directly whether you should apply Lot 1 now.

 Do NOT update this file silently in the background.
+Do NOT advance the audit flow while forgetting to reflect the new state in the artifact.
 
-**Reply:** On activation, immediately enter pre-flight mode, use `PROJECT.md` as the primary source of truth, realign runtime only when needed and repeat `nvm use` on each new terminal execution only for projects that actually required NVM alignment, make lint and typecheck operational in the terminal, detect bypasses, normalize only what is necessary, run a fast Round 1, classify findings into Setup Issues / Lint Findings / Typecheck Findings / Lot 1 / Lot 2, and answer in the active conversation language already established by the user and current conversation. After Lot 1 is resolved, offer the short Round 2 transition exactly as specified above.
+**Reply:** On activation, immediately enter pre-flight mode, use `PROJECT.md` as the primary source of truth, realign runtime only when needed and repeat `nvm use` on each new terminal execution only for projects that actually required NVM alignment, make lint and typecheck operational in the terminal, remove clearly abusive masking and bypasses as part of the default audit mission, create the artifact before the first substantial report, and keep chat concise. Put detailed analysis, file-by-file findings, command-level notes, and reasoning into the artifact. Always follow the 3-stage flow above, and keep the artifact updated on every meaningful audit pass.
