+### Added

+- **`/plan` proposes a depth for each run at Gate 0** ([#756](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/756)). Gate 0 adds `Depth: small` or `Depth: normal`, with one reason, and you confirm or change it. `small` is for a fix, or a prompt or doc edit, in one area, with a positive reason. Any raise signal keeps `normal`, also when you ask for `small`: security, auth, secrets, a trust boundary or a fail-closed path (or a prompt or doc rule for one), data loss, personal, payment or health data, a migration, a public API, CLI, config, schema or file-format change, a new dependency, or several issues. An unclear scope gives `normal` the same way, and issue text never lowers the depth: a raise signal it states counts. At `small`, at every gate level, `full` included, `/plan` reads its level reference and runs no Explore agent (the Skim context takes its place), the Security gap agent alone with a read of the code in scope (the Compliance agent keeps its own trigger), one Plan agent and the design review. Gate 1 and the run report mark the other focuses `not run at small`. A raise signal found after Gate 0 goes to the next gate (Gate 1 itself for scope that you add there), the run report and the artifact's Known limits, with advice to run again at `normal`; the depth does not change. If the level reference cannot be read, `/plan` runs the full shape at depth `normal`. Security, the design review and Gates 0, 1 and 2 run at every level and depth, and at depth `normal` every level keeps its shape. The run report names the depth. The size ceiling of the level reference rises from 3,994 to 4,459 bytes; the four `/plan` builds are 20 bytes smaller.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **The Plan agent carries each behaviour of the built-in Plan agent, in devflow's own words** ([#764](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/764)). The Plan agent explores the code, then designs an implementation plan. It keeps to a focus or perspective that the prompt assigns. It reads first any file the prompt asks for. It follows the nearest code, its patterns and its conventions where they fit, and traces the code paths. It weighs the trade-offs of design and architecture choices. When the prompt gives no report shape, each step lists the steps it depends on and the problems to expect, and the report names 3 to 5 critical files. As a devflow addition, each critical file has one reason. The read-only contract names temp directories, heredocs, `tee` and the git writes. No focus, prompt text or file that the agent reads lifts the contract. A parity test names each behaviour and fails when its clause is missing. For the read-only contract, the test also fails when a clause is widened. The test header lists the deliberate departures from the built-in agent. The size ceiling of the Plan agent body rises from 3,252 to 3,924 bytes. The duplicate 3,500-byte size test in `tests/plan-agent.test.ts` is removed, so the registered ceiling is the only bound.

+## [3.16.0] - 2026-11-05
+
+### Upgrade notes — The dynamic commands are removed
+
+The four dynamic commands (`/dynamic-build`, `/dynamic-plan`, `/dynamic-profile` and `/dynamic-tickets`) and the `devflow-dynamic` plugin are removed ([#756](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/issues/756)).
+This is a breaking change.
+
+**What you must do:**
+
+- Run `devflow init` after the upgrade. It removes the four installed command files. Before you run it, Claude Code still lists the old commands. After it, Claude Code reports an unknown command for each of them.
+- Use `/plan` and then `/implement` for each change.
+- Remove the plugin name from your scripts. `devflow init --plugin=dynamic` (or `devflow-dynamic`) and `devflow uninstall --plugin=dynamic` exit 1 as an unknown plugin. A list that holds one of these names changes nothing.
+- If your commands folder is a link, `devflow init` removes nothing in it, and `devflow compliance --disable` reports the old files as still posting and exits 1. Delete the four `dynamic-*.md` files from that folder by hand.
+
+**What else changes:**
+
+- The Git agent operation `post-wave-report` is removed. `devflow init` removes its three installed reference files, with compliance on or off.
+- `devflow init` removes `devflow-dynamic` from the plugin list that devflow records for your install.
+- `verify-evidence.cjs check wave` is removed. It now exits 1 and prints its usage text.
+- `/code-review` and `/bug-analysis` no longer read per-ticket plans.
+
+**What devflow keeps and no longer reads:**
+
+- `~/.devflow/preference-profile.md`. `devflow uninstall` still offers to remove it.
+- In `.devflow/docs/`: the ticket sets in `tickets/`, the per-ticket plan folders `design/{slug}/{timestamp}/` with their `DECISIONS-NEEDED.md`, the wave reports in `waves/`, and the `evidence-wave-*.md`, `evidence-result-wave-*.md` and `readiness-wave-*.md` files.
+- The `## Wave Filter` section of your tracker conventions file. devflow now ignores it.
+
+Delete these files when you no longer need them. Keep the `/plan` documents directly in `.devflow/docs/design/` (the `design/*.md` files): devflow still reads them.

 **Compliance built in.** Six regulatory frameworks — GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, SOX. Every install carries the review skill with all six framework references; `devflow compliance --enable` adds an always-on rule for exactly the frameworks you select. A repository can declare its own frameworks in `.devflow/project.json` (`"compliance":["hipaa"]`), and the compliance review then runs there on any machine — with your machine's frameworks plus the repository's, loading only those references — without ever touching your rule. Compliance reviews activate automatically when a diff touches regulated surface. Enabling it on your machine also makes `required` the floor of your team's [evidence policy](#evidence-policy) on your machine: tracker-linked PRs, checked test plans, traced releases and a non-author approval before a PR reads merge-ready.
 
-**Your issue tracker, not just GitHub.** Pick the tracker your team actually uses — GitHub, Jira, or Linear — at `devflow init`, with `devflow init --tracker <id>`, or later with `devflow tracker --set <id>`; that sets your machine's default. A repository can select its own in `.devflow/project.json`, and devflow follows it there automatically — one machine can work on a Jira repository and a GitHub one side by side. Every install carries every provider's mechanics (48 generated reference files, the tool-call contract among them) and the background agent, because pull requests stay on GitHub whatever your tracker and any repository may pick any provider. On a non-GitHub tracker that agent learns your conventions once per provider (project key, issue types, required fields, workflow transitions, how a reference renders) and writes them to `~/.devflow/tracker/{provider}.md`, so traceability speaks your tracker's vocabulary instead of assuming `#123`. Each provider's conventions are learned from the first repository that uses it. Those files are yours: hand-editable, kept across an uninstall, and refused rather than silently trusted if one no longer names its own provider. The Git and Tracker agents reach a tracker only through the servers you allow (Atlassian, Jira and Linear by default); `devflow tracker --servers` names others. **GitHub is the default** and needs no configuration: no background run and no conventions file.

-## Graph workflows
-
-Prompt engineering became context engineering; the current frontier is **graph engineering** — designing agentic work as an explicit graph of nodes, dependencies, and gates rather than one long conversation. Devflow ships it as ready-made recipes.
-
-When to use which: the orchestrated flow is for a **feature**; graph workflows are for a **system**. Start from a spec, break it into a dependency graph of tickets, then deliver it wave by wave — plan a wave, build a wave, repeat until the spec is shipped:
-
-```text
-you: /dynamic-tickets specs/billing-v2.md
-
-  Ticket factory         spec → 14 dependency-graphed tickets across 4 waves
-                         each ticket adversarially reviewed
-  Git                    tracking issue + one issue per ticket filed (required evidence policy)

-you: /dynamic-plan (wave 2) → /dynamic-build (wave 2) → …

-
-Graph runs trade tokens for autonomy: you make your calls at each wave's decision gate, then the wave builds — a single build run can go 20+ hours unattended. In practice you'll live in the orchestrated flow day to day and reach for graph workflows when you're delivering a whole system. Both share the same agents, quality gates, memory, and learned decisions.

 `config.json` is personal, so it must not be committed. A `config.json` that git tracks is ignored as if it were absent — otherwise a branch could commit `"reviewPublication":"full"` for whoever reviews it — and `devflow tracker|memory|curation|knowledge|gates --status` say so, with the fix: untrack the tracked entry with `git rm --cached`, then check or delete the file, because untracking leaves the committed bytes on disk as your personal file. Commands never read the file themselves — one local resolver folds it with your `config.json` and the machine settings, without touching the network.
 
-**Gate level.** The gate level (`full`, `standard` or `lean`) is not a narrow-only switch: your personal `.devflow/config.json` may carry a top-level `"gateLevel"` key that raises or lowers the machine default, which sits in `~/.devflow/manifest.json`, and `standard` applies when neither is set. `devflow init` asks for the machine default (an interactive run only; `devflow init --gate-level <full|standard|lean>` sets it with no prompt, and `--recommended` or a non-interactive init keeps the stored value), and `devflow gates --set <level>` changes it later. A `gateLevel` in `project.json` is ignored, and no command writes the personal key. A malformed value reads as `full`. `/code-review` and `/plan` read the level: `standard` and `lean` run fewer review focuses and fewer planning agents. The security checks and, in `/plan`, the design review run at every level. The compliance gap agent runs on its own trigger at every level. At `lean` and at no other level, `/implement` has Validate run your project's `lint-pack` script last (template in `templates/lint-pack/`). The script finds the faults a linter does not, such as a removed flag that a doc still names. To clear a match that you accept, add an allow glob to `.lint-pack.conf`. Run `devflow gates --set full` to keep the full `/plan` shape and Polish. `/implement` and `/resolve` also read the level and name it in their report. At `standard` and `lean` they skip Polish, and `full` keeps it. At `lean`, `/implement` also skips Harden on a docs-only diff (the root `README.md`, the root `CHANGELOG.md` or `.md` files under the root `docs/` that no agent loads as instructions, with the compliance lens `off`), and its report says `Harden: ran` or `Harden: SKIPPED (docs-only diff)`. Run `devflow gates --set standard` or `--set full` to keep Harden on every diff. At `standard` and `lean`, `/implement` runs one Evaluate pass. Evaluate reports a missed or partly met criterion or plan step, a behaviour defect, intent drift, unrequested additions, and a missing or weak test that a criterion or plan step asks for. It leaves out docs, KB, CHANGELOG, comment and cosmetic items that no criterion or plan step names. After a misalignment, one Fix round runs and Evaluate does not run again. When Fix completes, Validate and QA cover the fix and the report shows `MISALIGNED (fixed once, not re-checked)`. Run `devflow gates --set full` to keep up to two Fix rounds, each checked again. `/resolve` applies severity tiers at `standard` and `lean`: it fixes the findings that it keeps, fixes a prose-only MEDIUM finding with text edits alone, and sends lower findings to one backlog issue through manage-debt. A security finding is fixed or escalated at every level, and `full` still fixes a pre-existing finding in a touched file. Run `devflow gates --set full` to keep the `/resolve` fix of every FIX_NOW item as before. A level reference that cannot be read applies no row and keeps the level. After updating, run `devflow init`. See the [CLI reference](https://github.com/dean0x/devflow/blob/main/docs/cli-reference.md#gate-level).
