-## Boot sweep
-
-Before anything else — ahead of the first-run preflight — run the **protected
-boot sweep** so `/plan` opens against a tidy local checkout instead of one
-still carrying the merged refs of the last delivered Epic or Story:
-
-```bash
-node .agents/scripts/boot-sweep.js \
-  --include 'story-*' --include 'epic/*' \
-  --include 'feat/*' --include 'fix/*' --include 'chore/*'
-```
-
-This is the **safe subset** of the `/git-cleanup` phases: it fast-forwards the
-base branch (`main`), prunes stale remote-tracking refs, and reaps every local
-branch whose PR is **merged** and whose HEAD matches the merged `headRefOid`.
-It **never** touches the stash stack, and its `evaluateProtection` partition
-skips (never reaps) any candidate with unpushed work, a dirty worktree, or a
-still-open parent Story ticket — so it is safe to run unattended at the top of
-a planning session. The sweep is **silent on a no-op**: with nothing to reap
-and `main` already current it prints a single summary line
-(`[boot-sweep] reaped 0 local + 0 remote; protected 0.`) and moves on. Its exit
-code is always `0` — a failed sweep is swallowed and reported in the summary,
-never allowed to fail the planning run.
-
-## First-run preflight
-
-Before routing to a path helper, run a **first-run preflight** to catch
-common day-0 issues that would silently degrade every downstream task.
-
-### When the preflight fires
-
-The preflight runs when **any** of these is true:
-
-1. One or more `project.docsContextFiles` entries are absent under the
-   configured `docsRoot`.
-2. One or more present `docsContextFiles` still carry the
-   `<!-- MANDREL:STUB -->` marker (i.e. they are un-edited scaffolded stubs).
-3. The last `mandrel doctor` verdict cached in `temp/doctor-result.json`
-   records `"verdict": "unready"`. An **absent** cache file is no signal —
-   doctor may simply never have run; only an explicit recorded unready
-   verdict fires this signal.
-
-### Preflight procedure
-
-1. **Detect the condition.** Check the three signals above. When none is
-   true, skip the preflight entirely — no operator interaction, no delay.
-2. **Offer to flesh out docs.** Summarize the found condition to the
-   operator (e.g. "3 docsContextFiles are missing" or "architecture.md
-   still carries the stub marker") and ask:
-   > *Do you want to flesh out these docs from the codebase before planning?
-   > [y/N]*
-3. **On acceptance.** Walk through each affected file, read relevant
-   codebase artifacts (source files, README, existing docs), and write real
-   content to replace the stub. Then re-run `mandrel doctor` to confirm
-   readiness. If doctor passes, proceed to routing.
-4. **On decline.** Log one line:
-   > *[plan] Proceeding with degraded doc context — planning quality may be
-   > reduced.*
-   Then continue to the normal routing procedure below.
-
-The preflight is **never a hard stop** — declining continues planning with a
-noted degradation. It only fires when there is a genuine signal (missing or
-stubbed docs, or an unready doctor verdict).
+relax any deterministic gate — the clarity scoring, the Tech Spec section
+gate, the ticket validator / file-assumption / DAG / budget gates, the
+inline readiness healthcheck, and the `agent::blocked` runtime pause all

 ## Procedure
 
 1. **Parse args.** Exactly one of `<epicId>`, `--idea`, `--from-notes`, or
    `--body` must be present; anything else is a usage error naming the four
    forms. A `--body` invocation routes to the story path (no triage).

- * assert-branch.js — Pre-commit Branch Guard
- *
- * Exits non-zero if the current git branch does not match `--expected`.
- * Intended to be invoked immediately before `git add`/`git commit` in any
- * workflow where multiple agents share a working directory. Prevents the
- * parallel-story contention bug where one agent's `git add` sweeps another
- * agent's WIP after a concurrent `git checkout`.
- *
- * Usage:
- *   node .agents/scripts/assert-branch.js --expected <branch-name>
- *
- * Exit codes:
- *   0 — Current branch matches expected.
- *   1 — Mismatch (stderr explains) or invocation error.
