 6. Determine base branch and fetch PR details if available:
-   - If a PR exists — the PR# context, else the current branch's PR: fetch PR details via `gh pr view {number} --json baseRefName,isCrossRepository,maintainerCanModify,number,headRepositoryOwner,headRepository` (omit `{number}` for the current branch; `gh` has no `-C` flag, so run this call from `WORKTREE_PATH` (else cwd) — never the orchestrator's own cwd, or a multi-worktree run discovers the wrong PR); use `baseRefName` as `base_branch` and `number` as the PR. If `isCrossRepository` is true, `maintainerCanModify` is false and you cannot push to that fork yourself (`gh api "repos/{headRepositoryOwner.login}/{headRepository.name}" --jq '.permissions.push'` does not print `true`), emit `TRACEABILITY: DEGRADED (cannot push to fork)`: the caller skips pushes, while PR comments and body edits still run.
-   - If no PR exists: resolve the default remote branch via `git -C {worktree} rev-parse --abbrev-ref origin/HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed 's|origin/||'`; if that fails, probe common defaults (`main`, then `master`) via `git -C {worktree} rev-parse --verify {default} 2>/dev/null`
-   - If `base_branch` still cannot be determined: emit an intentional empty `### Diff Scope` block (so `DIFF_FILES=""` is a deliberate conservative degrade, not a silent error); skip step 7
-7. Compute diff scope (only if `base_branch` was resolved): `git -C {worktree} diff {base_branch}...HEAD --name-only` → newline-separated file list
+   - If a PR exists — the PR# context, else the current branch's PR: in one Bash call, fetch the PR details and write the base name to a fresh file: `cd "{worktree}" && F="$(mktemp)" && echo "F=$F" && gh pr view {number} --json isCrossRepository,maintainerCanModify,number,headRepositoryOwner,headRepository; G=$?; gh pr view {number} --json baseRefName --jq .baseRefName > "$F"; echo "gh=$G,$?"` (omit `{number}` for the current branch, in both reads; `{number}` is digits only; `gh` has no `-C` flag, so run this call from `WORKTREE_PATH` (else cwd) — never the orchestrator's own cwd, or a multi-worktree run discovers the wrong PR). `{name file}` is the printed `F=` path, `number` is the PR, and `gh` failed when either status printed in `gh=` is not 0. If `isCrossRepository` is true, `maintainerCanModify` is false and you cannot push to that fork yourself (`gh api "repos/{headRepositoryOwner.login}/{headRepository.name}" --jq '.permissions.push'` does not print `true`), emit `TRACEABILITY: DEGRADED (cannot push to fork)`: the caller skips pushes, while PR comments and body edits still run.
+   - If `gh` failed and its output shows that no PR applies (none for the branch, `gh` missing or logged out, or no GitHub remote), take the default branch: `F="{name file}"; git -C "{worktree}" for-each-ref --format='%(symref:lstrip=3)' refs/remotes/origin/HEAD > "$F"`; when the file reads as empty (a file whose only content is an empty line is empty), `main` if `git -C "{worktree}" rev-parse --verify --quiet main` succeeds, otherwise `master` the same way; write a literal name with the Write tool, after a Read of the file. If the Write tool fails, treat the value as missing; never write it with a shell command.
+   - Read `{name file}` with the Read tool: its one line is `base_branch`
+   - If `base_branch` cannot be determined (`gh` failed and its output does not show that no PR applies, or the file is empty after every fallback): run `rm -- "{name file}"`, return BLOCKED, never an empty `### Diff Scope`; skip step 7
+   - Check `base_branch` against `^(?![-#]|origin\/|(?:@|(?:FETCH_|ORIG_|MERGE_)?HEAD)$)(?!.*\.\.)[A-Za-z0-9._\/+@,#-]{1,200}$` (ASCII letters, digits and `._/+@,#-`, at most 200; no leading `-` or `#`, no `origin/` prefix, no `..`, not `@` or a HEAD name); judge the match by reading; never pass the value to a command. On a mismatch run `rm -- "{name file}"`, return BLOCKED with that allowed set, never the name; skip step 7
+   - Then run `F="{name file}"; trap 'rm -- "$F"' EXIT; cd "{worktree}" && X=<isCrossRepository, else false> && node "$HOME/.devflow/scripts/resolve-base.cjs" pr --name-stdin --cross "${X}" < "$F"; echo "exit=$?"` and take `base_ref` from its one `BASE_REF=` line with `exit=0`. Any other output reads as `REASON=resolver-unavailable`. A `base_ref` of `none` or not 40 or 64 hex returns BLOCKED naming REASON and its fix; NOTE `degraded` emits `TRACEABILITY: DEGRADED (base {REASON}; fix: {fix})` and goes on. Fix by REASON: no-merge-base `git fetch --unshallow`; no-ref or timeout `git fetch origin <base>` (`<base>` stays as written); resolver-unavailable `re-run; if it repeats, run devflow init`; invalid-name the allowed set, never the name; any other REASON none, and `; fix: {fix}` is left out.
+7. Compute diff scope (only with a 40 or 64 hex `base_ref`): `git -C "{worktree}" diff --name-only {base_ref}...HEAD; echo "exit=$?"` → newline-separated file list; a non-zero exit is BLOCKED and an empty list counts only with `exit=0`

If the Write tool fails, treat the value as missing; never write it with a shell command. Read `{name file}` with the Read tool: its one line is the name. Every exit below but the last runs `rm -- "{name file}"`. First fit wins:
+      - No name (`gh` failed and its output does not show that no PR applies, or the file is empty after every fallback; a PR without a name, no default branch and any other `gh` failure fall here): keep the PR line, set the Base line `(unreadable)` and Base ref `none`, emit `TRACEABILITY: DEGRADED (base name unreadable; fix: re-run)` and skip the rest of step 5.
+      - A name that does not match `^(?![-#]|origin\/|(?:@|(?:FETCH_|ORIG_|MERGE_)?HEAD)$)(?!.*\.\.)[A-Za-z0-9._\/+@,#-]{1,200}$` (judge the match by reading; never pass the value to a command): end with Status BLOCKED, no PR line, the Base line `(rejected)` and Base ref `none`, naming only the allowed set, never the name (ASCII letters, digits and `._/+@,#-`, at most 200; no leading `-` or `#`, no `origin/` prefix, no `..`, not `@` or a HEAD name).
+      - When `BASE_REF` is 40 or 64 lowercase hex and the name equals `BASE_BRANCH`, skip the resolver and 5b: `base_ref` is `BASE_REF`.
+      - Else run, in one Bash call, `F="{name file}"; trap 'rm -- "$F"' EXIT; cd "{worktree}" && X=<isCrossRepository, else false> && node "$HOME/.devflow/scripts/resolve-base.cjs" pr --name-stdin --cross "${X}" < "$F"; echo "exit=$?"`.
+   5b. Use only one line starting `BASE_REF=` together with `exit=0`; any other output reads as `REASON=resolver-unavailable`. `base_ref` is its BASE_REF value (`none` only when no base is usable); print REASON. Only an invalid name stops this operation. For NOTE `degraded` and `stop`, emit `TRACEABILITY: DEGRADED (base {REASON}; fix: {fix})` with the Status block's lines. Fix by REASON: no-merge-base `git fetch --unshallow`; no-ref or timeout `git fetch origin <base>` (`<base>` stays as written); resolver-unavailable `re-run; if it repeats, run devflow init`; invalid-name the allowed set, never the name; any other REASON none, and `; fix: {fix}` is left out. The Base line always appears.

+Update tech debt backlog from `{REVIEW_DIR}/resolution-summary.md`:
+- Add only entries of `## Fix Separately` (FIX_SEPARATE) and `## Deferred to Tech Debt` (TECH_DEBT). A section ends at the next heading.
+- An empty section adds none.
+- If `resolution-summary.md` is missing, return `TRACEABILITY: DEGRADED (resolution summary missing)` and do not update the backlog.
+- Never add an item that also has an entry in `## Escalations`, `## Blocked` or `## Fixed Issues`.
+- Read no review report: in `{REVIEW_DIR}`, read only `resolution-summary.md`.
