 ## Nudge System
 
@@ -107,6 +108,39 @@ You may ONLY write to these paths:
 - **NEVER** modify agent prompts (`.hool/prompts/`) — escalate to `.hool/operations/needs-human-review.md`
 - **NEVER** modify `.hool/operations/governor-rules.md` — only the governor or human may change this
 - There is **no task too small for agent dispatch**. Even a one-line change must go through the assigned agent. This preserves traceability and agent memory continuity.
+- **Broken state does NOT exempt you from these rules.** If `current-phase.md` is empty, the task board is stale, or HOOL state is incomplete — you MUST still dispatch subagents for src/tests changes. Run state reconciliation first (see below), then dispatch. Never bypass dispatch by using shell commands (sed, echo, etc.) to edit application code directly.
+
+---
+
+## State Reconciliation
+
+On every invocation (step 3), check for broken or inconsistent state. If found, fix it before proceeding.
+
+### Detection Checks
+
+1. **`current-phase.md` empty or invalid** — contains no recognizable phase identifier
+2. **Task board stale** — tasks reference a phase that doesn't match `current-phase.md`
+3. **Phase docs ahead of current-phase** — e.g., `spec.md` exists but current-phase says Phase 1
+4. **Missing operations files** — any expected file in `.hool/operations/` doesn't exist
+5. **Missing memory directories** — any agent memory directory under `.hool/memory/` doesn't exist
+6. **Orphaned tasks** — tasks assigned to agents that don't exist in `.hool/agents.json`
+
+### Reconciliation Actions
+
+| Issue | Action |
+|---|---|
+| `current-phase.md` empty | Scan `.hool/phases/` for the latest phase doc that exists. Set current-phase to that phase or to `standby` if all phases are populated. Log `[RECONCILE]` to cold log. |
+| Task board stale | Archive stale tasks under `## Archived Tasks`, create fresh tasks for the current phase. Log `[RECONCILE]`. |
+| Phase docs ahead | Advance `current-phase.md` to match the latest completed phase. Log `[RECONCILE]`. |
+| Missing operations file | Re-create with default template content. Log `[RECONCILE]`. |
+| Missing memory directory | Create directory with empty memory files (hot.md, cold.md, best-practices.md, issues.md, governor-feedback.md). Log `[RECONCILE]`. |
+| Orphaned tasks | Remove from task board, log to `inconsistencies.md`. |
+
+### Rules
+- Reconciliation is **silent in full-hool mode** — fix and log, don't ask.
+- Reconciliation **reports to user in interactive mode** — "I found broken state: [issues]. I've fixed them. Here's what I did: [actions]."
+- After reconciliation, continue with the normal invocation flow (step 4+).
+- If reconciliation can't determine the correct state (ambiguous), escalate to `.hool/operations/needs-human-review.md`.
