+# Code + backend polish (Phase 1 + Phase 2)
+
+Loaded from `$rite-polish` every run, regardless of UI scope. Two sub-phases:
+code polish (Phase 1) and, when backend is touched, backend polish (Phase 2).
+
+## Rules consulted (read on demand from `.agents/skills/devrites-lib/reference/standards/`)
+
+- `coding-style.md` — Phase 1 (simplify, dead code, naming, comments).
+- `patterns.md` — Phase 1 simplification — avoid over-engineering.
+- `error-handling.md` — Phase 2 backend (no silent catches, consistent errors).
+- `performance.md` — Phase 2 backend (N+1s, query bounds).
+- `documentation.md` — keep touched docs current; record polish-time decisions.
+
+## Operating rules
+
+- **Never cite clean automation** (lint/build pass) as proof of good design or
+  simplicity.
+- Feature scope only. Spec Drift Guard applies.
+- Re-run targeted tests after each change — a simplification that breaks a
+  test wasn't behavior-preserving.
+
+## Phase 1 — Code polish *(always)*
+
+Delegates the audit to `devrites-audit simplify`. Reduce complexity in the
+feature's touched code while **preserving exact behavior**. Scope = active
+feature only.
+
+- **Measure first, target hotspots** — deep nesting, long branchy functions,
+  high cyclomatic complexity, sprawling conditionals. Don't redistribute
+  complexity, reduce it. Untargeted cleanup just moves decision points around.
+- **Behavior-preserving techniques** (name the one used per change): guard
+  clauses (flatten nested if/else, return early on unwanted cases), Extract
+  Method (a coherent block into a named single-responsibility helper), simplify
+  conditionals (switch/lookup over a long if-else; decompose a complex boolean
+  into well-named parts), dedupe, inline single-use indirection, replace
+  hand-rolled utils with the stdlib/existing helper, delete dead code this
+  feature added.
+- **Chesterton's Fence** — understand *why* something exists before removing it.
+  If you can't explain a check, branch, or wrapper, you may not remove it —
+  many "useless" lines guard a real edge case. A `devrites:keep` / `simplify-ignore`
+  marker comment **is** an author's fence, made explicit: read it and leave the marked
+  block exactly as-is — never simplify, reflow, or "tidy" it. Honor the marker in place;
+  don't rewrite the file around it.
+- **Behavior preservation** — observable behavior stays identical; tests stay
+  green. If behavior would change, it's not simplification — it needs its own
+  acceptance + proof (and maybe drift handling). Prefer transformations with
+  obvious equivalence.
+- **Don't over-reduce / proportionality** — inherent complexity is fine;
+  readability is the goal, not a metric. Forcing the complexity number down by
+  *hiding* branches elsewhere is worse. Don't spend disproportionate effort on
+  small, stable, rarely-touched code; target central/often-read code.
+- **Guardrails** — feature scope only, no project-wide refactor; don't delete
+  suspected dead code **outside** this feature without asking; re-prove after
+  simplifying (a simplification that breaks a test wasn't behavior-preserving);
+  cleverness that's shorter but harder to read is not simpler.
+- **Rule of 500 — mechanize the big ones.** A simplification touching more than ~500 lines
+  (a rename, an API-shape change, a repeated idiom swap) is a job for a codemod / AST transform /
+  `sed`, not hand-edits. Hand-editing at that scale is where transcription bugs and inconsistent
+  application creep in; a scripted transform applies once, uniformly, and is reviewable as one diff.
+- **Cleanup**: remove TODOs, `console.log`s, commented-out code, unused
+  imports/vars; tighten naming and comments in code this feature touched.
+- **The comprehension test (the completion criterion).** Every change must pass one question:
+  *would a new team member understand this faster than the original?* If not, it's churn, not
+  simplification — revert it. Fewer lines that read slower fail this test; a clearer five lines
+  beat a cryptic one.
+- **Done when** — every touched change passes the comprehension test, every anti-slop charter
+  item in the touched code is cleared (the AI-tells do-not list — [anti-ai-slop.md](anti-ai-slop.md)
+  Code section, `coding-style.md`) **and** the feature's targeted tests + build re-run green.
+  An open charter item or a red check means Phase 1 isn't done.
+
+## Phase 2 — Backend polish *(if BE touched)*
+
+See [backend-polish.md](backend-polish.md). For server-side scope (handlers,
+services, routes, models, migrations, queries, jobs, auth). Polish the server
+side to ship-quality:
+
+- **Error responses consistent** + correct status codes + custom error classes
+  + fail closed on auth/permission/transaction errors. No blanket `catch`es.
+- **Logging hygiene** — structured logs with context (request id, user, op);
+  log key events; **never** log secrets / tokens / PII. No leftover
+  `console.log` / debug prints.
+- **Data & queries** — no N+1, no unbounded result sets, parameterized
+  queries, right transaction boundaries, return only what the caller needs.
+- **API contract** matches the spec (and any saved `references/`); idempotency
+  where applicable; consistent pagination/sorting/filtering; validation at the
+  boundary.
+- **Performance** — measure-first; obvious wins applied; no quadratic loops on
+  growing collections (`devrites-audit perf`).
+- **Cleanup** — remove dead routes, unused endpoints + bad naming this feature
+  added.
+- **Code anti-slop** — kill over-defensive layered null/length checks, useless
+  wrappers, generic AI naming, "robust" catches that hide bugs, anything
+  outside the spec ([anti-ai-slop.md](anti-ai-slop.md) — Code section).

+# Harden checklist — UI against real-world inputs
+
+Designs that only work on the happy path are not production-ready. `$rite-polish`
+Phase 2 (UI polish) uses this list to harden the feature against the inputs, errors,
+languages, and network conditions real users will throw at it.
+
+Feature scope only — don't harden screens this feature doesn't touch.
+
+## 1. Extreme content (the input axis)
+
+Walk every text-bearing surface in the feature with deliberately hostile data:
+
+- **Very long text** — names of 200+ chars, descriptions of 5000+ chars, titles
+  longer than the viewport. Check truncation, wrapping, ellipsis, overflow.
+- **Very short / empty text** — single-char names, empty strings, names that are
+  whitespace only. Check whether layout collapses or filters fail.
+- **Unicode** — emoji (`👨‍👩‍👧‍👦` — note grapheme clusters in count limits),<!-- pack-scan-ignore: intentional ZWJ in emoji edge-case example -->
+  zero-width joiners, RTL text (`مرحبا`), combining accents (`café` vs `café`).
+- **Numerics at scale** — `0`, negative numbers, `1.000.000`, `1234567890`, very
+  large currency. Check column width, formatter behaviour, locale separators.
+- **List sizes** — empty list, 1 item, 50 items, 1000+ items. Check pagination,
+  virtualisation, empty state, loading-state-then-empty.
+- **Adversarial input** — strings with `<script>`, `‮` (RTL override),<!-- pack-scan-ignore: intentional RTL-override example in adversarial-input checklist -->
+  trailing whitespace, leading zeros. Confirm escaping at render time (not just
+  on submit).
+
+## 2. Error scenarios (the failure axis)
+
+Every async path needs designed behaviour for at least these states:
+
+- **Network failure** — offline, slow (throttled to 3G), timeout, intermittent.
+- **HTTP** — `400` (validation), `401` (signed-out), `403` (permission),
+  `404` (gone), `409` (conflict), `429` (rate-limited), `500` / `502` /
+  `503` (server).
+- **Partial success** — a bulk action where some items succeed and others fail.
+- **Stale data** — user reads, leaves the tab open for an hour, then acts on
+  data that's since changed.
+- **Concurrent edit** — two windows of the same user, or two users on the same
+  record.
+
+For each: what does the UI show? Can the user recover, or are they stranded?
+Errors must be visible **where the user was acting**, not in a corner toast they
+might miss.
+
+## 3. Network / device conditions
+
+- **Slow connection** — does the surface show progress, or feel frozen?
+- **Offline** — does anything that *could* work offline still work (drafts,
+  cached views), and is everything that can't gracefully blocked with a clear
+  message?
+- **Touch + small screen** — every interactive element ≥ 24×24 CSS px (44×44
+  for primary touch targets). No drag-only flows.
+- **Keyboard-only** — full feature reachable without a mouse; visible focus;
+  Esc closes overlays; Enter submits primary forms.
+- **Screen reader** — every control has a name; live regions for async
+  feedback; reading order matches visual order.
+- **Reduced motion** — `prefers-reduced-motion` removes non-essential motion
+  (no auto-carousel, no spring entrances).
+- **High zoom** — 200% text zoom; layout doesn't break, nothing overflows.
+
+## 4. Localisation / i18n
+
+Even single-locale features get hardened against the dimensions i18n exposes,
+because real text behaves the same way:
+
+- **String length variance** — German + Finnish + Japanese typically run +30–60%
+  longer than English; check buttons, table headers, badges.
+- **RTL** — Hebrew / Arabic mirror the layout. Even if the project is LTR-only,
+  no RTL content should *break* anything.
+- **Date / number formats** — `1,234.56` vs `1.234,56` vs `1 234.56`. Currency
+  symbol placement.
+- **Pluralisation** — "1 item" vs "2 items" vs "0 items" — and locales with
+  more than two plural forms.
+
+## 5. Permission / authorisation states
+
+Designed states for what the **current user** can / cannot do:
+
+- **Not signed in** — does the surface degrade, redirect, or 404 cleanly?
+- **Signed in, no permission** — message states what's missing and how to get
+  it; doesn't show empty data as if it were a real empty state.
+- **Signed in, partial permission** — read-only mode designed (controls
+  disabled with reason; never silently no-oped).
+- **Signed in, owner / admin** — surfaces destructive actions appropriately and
+  guards them.
+
+## 6. Tooling-assisted checks (when available)
+
+If the project has the tools, run them; capture evidence in `evidence.md`.
+
+- `prefers-reduced-motion`: emulate in DevTools → re-verify motion.
+- Throttle to "Slow 3G" → re-verify loading + error states.
+- Lighthouse / axe / pa11y → re-verify accessibility floor.
+- Playwright MCP or Chrome DevTools MCP (per `devrites-browser-proof`) → capture
+  screenshots of the worst-case input states above.
+
+## Reporting in `$rite-polish`
+
+For each finding raised by this checklist, classify by Phase-3 normalize bucket
+per [ui.md](ui.md):
+- **Token gap** — the design system already has the answer (`text-truncate`
+  token, `state-empty` component) and it isn't being used.
+- **Component miss** — the project already has an `EmptyState`, `ErrorBanner`,
+  `OfflineNotice`, and a one-off was built instead.
+- **Flow / IA misalignment** — the error / empty / offline state doesn't follow
+  the project's pattern (e.g. inline where the project shows a banner; toast
+  where the project uses inline).
+
+Fix in scope; route anything that would balloon the diff as a follow-up FYI.

+# Normalize + UI quality (Phase 3 + Phase 4)
+
+Loaded from `$rite-polish` only when the diff touches UI. Two phases, strict
+order: normalize to the design system (Phase 3), then the ship-quality detail
+pass (Phase 4). Normalize removes drift and aligns to the system; polish sweats
+the details. Skipping normalize means polishing drift.
+
+## Operating rules
+
+- **NEVER polish without normalizing first** — decoration on drift is banned.
+  Phase 3 runs before Phase 4, always.
+- Browser evidence required for UI polish when a browser can run
+  ([browser-polish-evidence.md](browser-polish-evidence.md)).
+- Don't invent a new design system. Ask when design-system principles are
+  ambiguous. Spec Drift Guard applies (a design-system contradiction is drift).
+
+## Why this order
+
+A beautiful component that ignores the project's tokens, components, and flow
+shape is *worse* than a plain one that fits — it adds a second system the team
+must maintain. Alignment is the precondition for polish, not an optional first
+step. **Fixing the symptom without naming the cause is how drift compounds:**
+patching a colour without adding the token bakes the next drift in; swapping a
+class without moving to the shared component leaves the next caller to redo the
+work.
+
+## Phase 3 — Normalize
+
+Goal: this feature looks and behaves like it belongs in *this* product.
+
+1. **Discover the design system**
+   ([design-system-discovery.md](design-system-discovery.md)): docs, tokens,
+   shared components, spacing/type scales, color roles, icon set, interaction
+   & form patterns, neighboring screens.
+2. **Identify drift by root cause**, classifying each into one of **three
+   buckets** — the bucket dictates the fix:
+
+   | Bucket | What it is | Fix |
+   |---|---|---|
+   | **Token gap** | A value is hard-coded where a token should carry it (colour, spacing, type size, radius, shadow). | Use the existing token; if a needed slot doesn't exist, propose adding it to the system — don't invent one inline. |
+   | **Component miss** | A one-off implementation exists where a shared component already covers the case (button, input, dialog, menu, table row). | Swap to the shared component. Don't fork it into the feature folder. |
+   | **Flow / IA misalignment** | The feature's flow shape, naming, or mental model doesn't match neighbouring features (modal where the project goes inline; save-on-blur where the project uses explicit submit; new vocabulary for an existing concept). | Reshape the flow / rename to the project's vocabulary. The most expensive bucket — and the most damaging if skipped. |
+
+   Sub-cases that map back to the buckets above: generic-AI-template styling →
+   **Token gap** (hard-coded styling that should ride a token) or **Component
+   miss** (rebuilt instead of reused); orphaned styles or components this
+   feature created → **Component miss** (consolidate or remove); inconsistent
+   IA / naming → **Flow / IA misalignment**.
+3. **Fix root causes, not symptoms** — use existing tokens, swap to shared
+   components, align flow shape with neighbors, consolidate duplication, remove
+   obsolete styles created by this feature. Ask the user when a design-system
+   principle is genuinely ambiguous — don't guess the system's intent.
+
+## Phase 4 — UI polish
+
+Only after functionality is complete **and** Phase 3 is done. Systematic detail
+pass against the UI quality bar below — zoom in, squint, use the thing. Little
+things add up.
+
+Meet the **2026 quality bar** — CWV (LCP ≤ 2.5s / INP ≤ 200ms / CLS ≤ 0.1) and
+WCAG 2.2 AA. Avoid [anti-ai-slop.md](anti-ai-slop.md). If the spec saved design
+references in `references/`, **match them**.
+
+Run the production-hardening sweep before declaring polish done — extreme
+inputs, errors, network, i18n, permission states — per
+[harden-checklist.md](harden-checklist.md). Polish that only works on the happy
+path isn't polish.
+
+### UI quality bar (checklist)
+
+- [ ] **Aligned to the design system** — drift named and resolved by root cause (Phase 3)
+- [ ] **IA & flow** match neighboring features
+- [ ] **Visual hierarchy** — the primary action is obviously primary
+- [ ] **Spacing** uses design tokens consistently; rhythm reads as deliberate
+- [ ] **Alignment** perfect at every breakpoint
+- [ ] **Typography** hierarchy consistent; line length sane (65–75ch prose)
+- [ ] **Color & contrast** — semantic roles; text ≥ 4.5:1 (≥ 3:1 large/UI), WCAG 2.2 AA
+- [ ] **All interaction states** — hover, active, focus, disabled, selected
+- [ ] **Focus states visible** and **keyboard navigation** works
+- [ ] **Loading** states clear; **empty** states welcoming with a next action
+- [ ] **Error** states helpful (what happened + how to recover); **success** states clear
+- [ ] **Forms** properly labeled, validated, with inline errors
+- [ ] **Copy & terminology** consistent with the product's vocabulary
+- [ ] **Icons** consistent set, properly sized and aligned
+- [ ] **Responsive** behavior correct across target viewports
+- [ ] **Target size** ≥ 24×24px (WCAG 2.2 AA); ≥ 44×44px for primary touch; **no drag-only** actions
+- [ ] **Motion** smooth (~60fps), purposeful; **reduced-motion** respected
+- [ ] **Performance basics** — no obvious jank, oversized images, or blocking work
+- [ ] **No console errors or warnings**
+- [ ] **No layout shift** on load
+- [ ] Works in the project's **supported browsers**
+- [ ] **Code quality** in touched UI files — no TODOs, console.logs, commented-out code
+
+### Measurable bar (2026)
+
+Polish verifies against the frontend quality standards
+(`devrites-frontend-craft/reference/quality-standards.md`), measured not assumed:
+- Core Web Vitals (p75): **LCP ≤ 2.5 s · INP ≤ 200 ms · CLS ≤ 0.1**.
+- WCAG 2.2 AA: semantic HTML, keyboard-operable, visible focus ≥ 3:1, no drag-only.
+- Responsive at **320 / 768 / 1024 / 1440**; survives 200% text zoom; no horizontal scroll.
+- No console errors/warnings; no axe violations; `prefers-reduced-motion` honored.
+Cite the evidence in `browser-evidence.md`.
+
+### Triage
+
+If it ships in 30 minutes, fix what users will actually notice (hierarchy,
+states, broken layout, bad copy) before micro-spacing. Don't introduce bugs
+while polishing — re-prove after changes.
+
+### Refinement modes (optional dials within Phase 4)
+
+| Mode | When | What it means |
+|---|---|---|
+| **bolder** | Surface reads safe / generic / forgettable. | Stronger hierarchy + weight contrast, one decisive accent, more committed scale. Reject generic-bold reflexes — gradients, glassmorphism, neon. |
+| **quieter** | Surface reads loud / overstimulating. | Reduce chroma, increase whitespace, flatten elevation, soften motion. Personality stays; intensity drops. |
+| **distill** | Too many elements / colours / sizes competing. | Remove anything that doesn't earn its place: redundant copy, decorative shadows/borders. One primary action per screen. |
+| **harden** | Surface only works on the happy path. | Walk [harden-checklist.md](harden-checklist.md) explicitly. Design every error / empty / partial / offline state. |
+
+Modes are advisory. Default Phase 4 covers all four already; the mode just
+shifts the emphasis of the same pass when the brief asks for it.
+
+## NEVER
+
+- Polish before it's functionally complete.
+- Polish without aligning first (decoration on drift).
+- Guess at design-system principles instead of asking.
+- Introduce bugs while polishing (re-prove after changes).
+- Invent a new design system or add a component/icon library without asking.

+# $rite-pov — project-grounded external verdict
+
+Decide whether **this project** should adopt, trial, hold, reject, or ignore a named outside candidate. Chat verdict first; durable record only when the user asks or the decision changes an active feature.
+
+## Rules consulted
+Step 0: Read `.agents/skills/devrites-lib/reference/standards/core.md`. Pull `source-driven`, `security`, or `deprecation` standards only when the candidate touches those risks.
+
+## Operating rules
+- Verdict only after two floors clear: one verified project fact and one verified external source.
+- Named candidate only. If the user asks “what should we use?” over an open field, route to `$rite-pressure-test` or `$rite-spec` to surface criteria first.
+- Reversibility sizes rigor: two-way config/dependency < bounded internal migration < public/security/legal/data decision.
+
+## Workflow
+1. **Frame.** Parse `$ARGUMENTS` into candidate, intent (`adopt|switch|compare|CVE/deprecation impact|second opinion`), and reversibility tier. If intent is ambiguous, ask one blocking question before research.
+   **Completion:** candidate, decision intent, and reversibility tier are explicit.
+2. **Project floor.** Verify at least one concrete project fact: incumbent dependency/call site, current absence plus integration point, prior ADR/decision, or affected surface. Use `devrites-engine profile get`; on `MISS`, run `devrites-engine profile refresh` once, then inspect candidate-specific files fresh. Completion: at least one `file:line` or local doc pointer is in notes, or the verdict is `Hold: project floor missing`.
+3. **External floor.** Read primary docs/advisory/release notes/source for the candidate. Prefer official sources; web summaries are supporting only. Completion: at least one dated source URL/title is in notes, or the verdict is `Hold: external floor missing`.
+4. **Compare.** Weigh fit, migration cost, reversibility, project principles, security/licensing/deprecation risk, and simpler alternatives already present.
+   **Completion:** every comparison dimension has project evidence or an explicit unknown.
+5. **Verdict.** Return exactly one grade: `Adopt`, `Trial`, `Hold`, `Reject`, or `Not-our-problem`. Include next step: `$rite-spec`, `$rite-define`, spike, `$rite-learn` record, or done.
+6. **Optional record.** If the user asks to persist, append the decision to the active workspace `decisions.md`; if no active workspace, suggest an ADR. A persisted `Reject` also lands in the cross-feature ledger so ideation skills stop re-proposing it: `devrites-engine learnings add <slug> "<candidate> — <why rejected>" rejected-direction`.
+
+## Output
+Reply-contract exception: decision utility; may run outside a workspace.
+
+```
+Verdict: <Adopt|Trial|Hold|Reject|Not-our-problem> — <one sentence>
+Tier: <two-way|bounded-one-way|high-stakes>
+Project floor: <file:line/local doc>
+External floor: <source>
+Why: <3 bullets max>
+Next: <single command or done>
+Record: <path|not written>
+```
+
+## Gotchas
+- No project floor, no verdict. A generic “X is good” answer is failure.
+- Do not let a strong blog post compensate for no local call site, incumbent, or integration point.
+- Do not enumerate a whole market here; bounded candidate decisions only.

+3. **Legitimacy gate.** For each item, read the surrounding code and classify: `fix`, `not-addressing`, `declined`, `reply-only`, or `needs-human`. Deduplicate overlapping items.
+4. **Fix approved items.** Apply contained fixes, add/update tests when behavior changes, and run targeted checks. Larger product/API/security calls become `needs-human`.
+5. **Commit/push.** Stage only touched files. Commit only if changes exist; push the branch.
+   **Completion:** changed files are committed/pushed with SHA evidence, or no commit is created because the diff is empty.
+6. **Reply and resolve.** Reply to every thread with outcome and evidence. Resolve only `fix`, `not-addressing`, `declined`, and `reply-only`; leave `needs-human` open.
+   **Completion:** every thread has one recorded outcome and only permitted terminal outcomes are resolved.
+7. **Verify.** Fetch unresolved threads again and report remaining intentional opens.

+- Bot comments can be wrong; central code-backed judgment catches that.
+- Human comments can be right even when phrased as a nit; don’t dismiss by source.
+- Resolving without a concrete reply hides context from reviewers.

+## Codex compatibility
+
+This is the Codex mirror of a DevRites skill. In Codex:
+
+- Load DevRites engineering standards from `.agents/skills/devrites-lib/reference/standards/`. Read `.agents/skills/devrites-lib/reference/standards/core.md` before workflow work, then load the other `.agents/skills/devrites-lib/reference/standards/*.md` files exactly when this skill asks for them.
+- Use the installed `devrites-engine` binary as the canonical runtime helper surface for orientation, gates, and state mutation.
+- When this skill asks for a DevRites specialist or writer agent, **explicitly** spawn the matching Codex custom agent from `.codex/agents/devrites-*.toml` through Codex subagents (`spawn_agent`), then wait for its result and reconcile it as the skill instructs. Do not do the review inline just because the instruction to spawn is embedded here — Codex under-fires embedded spawn/skill instructions (openai/codex #23496), so treat the spawn as required, not optional.
+- The independence of a fresh-context subagent is the point. If Codex genuinely cannot spawn subagents in the current surface, run the documented inline fallback and **label the result an inline fallback, not an independent review** — an inline pass shares the calling context and is weaker evidence.
+- Codex project hooks are installed in `.codex/hooks.json`. Review and trust them with `/hooks` before relying on hook enforcement.
+- When this skill asks a HITL question via `AskUserQuestion`: Codex's equivalent (`request_user_input`) exists only in Plan mode. Outside Plan mode, render the option set as a plain numbered list in chat and **end the turn** so the human answers — NEVER silently pick an option yourself; auto-picking is AFK's contract, gated by the `.devrites/AFK` sentinel.
+
+
+# $rite-pressure-test — diverge then converge
+
+Use when the *idea* (not just the requirements) is rough. Generate options, then commit
+to one — so `$rite-spec` has a real direction to specify.
+
+A thinking stance, not a build phase — capturing thinking is not implementing. Write
+workspace/ticket artifacts freely; source edits wait for `$rite-build`, via `$rite-spec`.
+
+Read `.agents/skills/devrites-lib/reference/standards/core.md` first — its operating rules (no silent assumptions, prefer
+existing conventions) shape the divergence. The other rule files load on demand.
+
+## Diverge (widen)
+- Load the `rejected-direction` entries from `.devrites/learnings.md` first. A recorded
+  rejection re-enters the option set only with new evidence against its recorded *why* —
+  name that evidence when you bring one back.
+- Generate 3–5 genuinely different approaches to the underlying goal, not variations of
+  one. Cover at least: the obvious approach, a simpler/smaller approach, and a
+  different-shape approach (different data model, flow, or boundary).
+- Generate from **named lenses** so each option exists for a reason, not to pad the count:
+  *inversion* (do the opposite), *constraint-removal* (what if the hard limit vanished),
+  *audience-shift* (build it for a different user), *10×* (what if it had to handle ten times
+  the scale or scope), *expert-lens* (how a specialist in the domain would do it). Borrow the
+  *structure* of an analogous product, not its surface — "Uber for X" copies the veneer, not
+  the mechanism that made it work.
+- For each: one-line description, what it optimizes for, rough cost, main risk.
+- Stay concrete — name real entities, flows, and surfaces, not abstractions.
+
+## Converge (commit)
+- Weigh options against the goal, constraints, and existing codebase conventions.
+- **Painkiller or vitamin?** Score each on whether it removes a real, felt pain (a painkiller
+  users seek out) or is merely nice-to-have (a vitamin they forget). Prefer the painkiller — a
+  vitamin dressed as a painkiller is the most common ideation trap.
+- **Rank the differentiation**, strongest to weakest: a new capability > a 10× improvement > a
+  new audience > a new context > better UX > cheaper. The higher an option sits, the more
+  defensible the direction.
+- Recommend one, with the reason and the key trade-off accepted.
+- Note what would change the recommendation (the decision's hinge).
+
+## Boundaries
+- This is exploration, not specification. Output a **direction**, not a finished spec —
+  `$rite-spec` writes the spec.
+- Don't over-explore: 3–5 options, one pass of convergence. If the user already knows
+  the direction, skip this and go straight to `$rite-spec`. If the effort is too foggy for
+  one pass, start an investigation map at `.devrites/work/<slug>/investigation-map.md`
+  with `Destination`, `Decisions so far`, `Not yet specified`, `Out of scope`, plus one
+  frontier question per session.
+- Ask the user to pick when two options are close and the choice changes the product.
+- Name a **"Not doing" list** — the good options you deliberately cut. It's the highest-value
+  output of convergence: it hands `$rite-spec` its scope boundary and stops the rejected ideas
+  from creeping back in later. When a cut is durable — rejected for a reason that outlives this
+  feature — offer to record it: `devrites-engine learnings add <slug> "<direction> — <why>"
+  rejected-direction`.
+
+## Output
+Reply-contract exception: pre-workspace ideation utility. It skips `devrites-engine progress`,
+but follows the compact labels and single-next-action rule from
+[`devrites-lib/reference/reply-contract.md`](../devrites-lib/reference/reply-contract.md).
