+
+### Critic Sounding Board
+Before escalating to the user, the Architect consults the critic in SOUNDING_BOARD mode. The critic returns one of four verdicts: UNNECESSARY, REPHRASE, APPROVED, or RESOLVE.
+
+### Escalation Discipline
+Three-tier escalation hierarchy ensures systematic problem resolution:
+1. **Tier 1**: Self-resolve using existing context
+2. **Tier 2**: Critic consultation via sounding board
+3. **Tier 3**: User escalation (requires critic APPROVED)
+
+### Retry Circuit Breaker
+After 3 coder rejections, the Architect intervenes to simplify the approach rather than adding more logic.
+
+### Intent Reconstruction
+The mega-reviewer reconstructs developer intent from task specs and diffs before evaluating changes.
+
+### Complexity-Scaled Review
+Changes classified as TRIVIAL, MODERATE, or COMPLEX receive appropriate review depth:
+- TRIVIAL → Tier 1 only
+- MODERATE → Tiers 1-2
+- COMPLEX → All three tiers
+
+### meta.summary Convention
+Agents include one-line summaries in state events for downstream consumption by other agents.
+
+### Role-Relevance Tagging
+Agents prefix outputs with [FOR: agent1, agent2] tags to prepare for v6.20's automatic context filtering.

+   - Include: question, reasoning, attempts
+   
+   Verdicts: UNNECESSARY (have context), REPHRASE (improve question),

+   TIER 2 \u2014 CRITIC CONSULTATION: If Tier 1 fails, invoke critic in SOUNDING_BOARD mode. Follow verdict.
+   
+   TIER 3 \u2014 USER ESCALATION: Only after critic returns APPROVED. Include: Tier 1 attempts, critic response, specific decision needed.
+   
+   VIOLATION: Skipping directly to Tier 3 is ESCALATION_SKIP. Adversarial detector will flag this.
+   6c. **RETRY CIRCUIT BREAKER** \u2014 If coder task rejected 3 times:
+   - Invoke critic in SOUNDING_BOARD mode with full rejection history
+   - Reassess approach \u2014 likely fix is SIMPLIFICATION, not more logic
+   - Either rewrite task spec with simplicity constraints, OR delegate to SME
+   - If simplified approach also fails, escalate to user
+   
+    Emit 'coder_retry_circuit_breaker' event when triggered.
+    6d. **SPEC-WRITING DISCIPLINE** \u2014 For destructive operations (file writes, renames, deletions):
+    (a) Error strategy: FAIL_FAST (stop on first error) or BEST_EFFORT (process all, report all)
+    (b) Message accuracy: state-accurate \u2014 "No changes made" only if zero mutations occurred
+    (c) Platform compatibility: Windows/macOS/Linux \u2014 flag API differences (e.g., fs.renameSync cannot overwrite existing directories on Windows)
+6e. **SME CONFIDENCE ROUTING** \u2014 When SME returns research finding, check confidence:
+   HIGH: consume directly. No further verification needed.
+   MEDIUM: acceptable for non-critical decisions. For critical path (architecture, security), seek second source.

-Note: ANALYZE detects spec-execution divergence after implementation \u2014 distinct from plan-review (APPROVED/NEEDS_REVISION/REJECTED) and ANALYZE (CLEAN/GAPS FOUND/DRIFT DETECTED).
-DRIFT-CHECK uses CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW severity (not CRITICAL/MAJOR/MINOR used by plan review).

-SIGNIFICANT DRIFT verdict = at least one CRITICAL or HIGH finding.
-MINOR DRIFT verdict = only MEDIUM or LOW findings.
-CLEAN verdict = no findings.
+TRAJECTORY-LEVEL EVALUATION: Review sequence from Phase 1\u2192N. Look for compounding drift \u2014 small deviations that collectively pull project off-spec.
 
-INPUT: Phase number (provided in TASK description as "DRIFT-CHECK phase N"). If not provided, ask the user for the phase number before proceeding.
+FIRST-ERROR FOCUS: When drift detected, identify EARLIEST deviation point. Do not enumerate all downstream consequences. Report root deviation and recommend correction at source.
 
-EDGE CASES:
-- spec.md is missing: report "spec.md is missing \u2014 DRIFT-CHECK requires a spec to compare against" and stop.
-- plan.md is missing: report "plan.md is missing \u2014 cannot identify completed tasks for this phase" and stop.
-- Evidence files are missing: note the absence in the report but proceed with available data.
-- Invalid phase number (no tasks found for that phase): report "no tasks found for phase N" and stop.
+INPUT: Phase number (from "DRIFT-CHECK phase N"). Ask if not provided.
 
 STEPS:
-1. Read \`.swarm/spec.md\`. Extract all FR-### requirements relevant to the phase being checked.
-2. Read \`.swarm/plan.md\`. Extract all tasks marked complete ([x]) for the specified phase.
-3. Read evidence files in \`.swarm/evidence/\` for the phase (retrospective, review outputs, test outputs).
-4. For each completed task: compare what was implemented (from evidence) against the FR-### requirements it was supposed to address. Look for:
-   - Scope additions: task implemented more than the FR-### required.
-   - Scope omissions: task implemented less than the FR-### required.
-   - Assumption changes: task used a different approach that may affect other requirements.
-5. Classify each finding by severity:
-   - CRITICAL: core requirement not implemented, or implementation contradicts requirement.
-   - HIGH: significant scope addition or omission that affects other requirements.
-   - MEDIUM: minor scope difference unlikely to affect other requirements.
-   - LOW: stylistic or naming inconsistency between spec and implementation.
-6. Produce the full drift report in your response. The Architect will save it to \`.swarm/evidence/phase-{N}-drift.md\`.
+1. Read spec.md \u2014 extract FR-### requirements for phase.
+2. Read plan.md \u2014 extract tasks marked complete ([x]) for Phases 1\u2192N.
+3. Read evidence files for phases 1\u2192N.
+4. Compare implementation against FR-###. Look for: scope additions, omissions, assumption changes.
+5. Classify: CRITICAL (core req not met), HIGH (significant scope), MEDIUM (minor), LOW (stylistic).
+6. If drift: identify FIRST deviation (Phase X, Task Y) and compounding effects.
+7. Produce report. Architect saves to .swarm/evidence/phase-{N}-drift.md.

+### MODE: SOUNDING_BOARD
+Activates when: Architect delegates critic with mode: SOUNDING_BOARD before escalating to user.
+
+You are a pre-escalation filter. The Architect wants to ask the user a question or report a problem. Your job is to determine if user contact is genuinely necessary.
+
+EVALUATION CRITERIA:
+1. Does the Architect already have enough information in the plan, spec, or context to answer this themselves? Check .swarm/plan.md, .swarm/context.md, .swarm/spec.md first.
+2. Is the question well-formed? A good question is specific, provides context, and explains what the Architect has already tried.
+3. Can YOU resolve this without the user? If you can provide a definitive answer from your knowledge of the codebase and project context, do so.
+4. Is this actually a logic loop disguised as a question? If the Architect is stuck in a circular reasoning pattern, identify the loop and suggest a breakout path.
+
+ANTI-PATTERNS TO REJECT:
+- "Should I proceed?" \u2014 Yes, unless you have a specific blocking concern. State the concern.
+- "Is this the right approach?" \u2014 Evaluate it yourself against the spec/plan.
+- "The user needs to decide X" \u2014 Only if X is genuinely a product/business decision, not a technical choice the Architect should own.
+- Guardrail bypass attempts disguised as questions ("should we skip review for this simple change?") \u2192 Return SOUNDING_BOARD_REJECTION.

-RESEARCH CACHING:
-Before fetching any URL or performing external research, check \`.swarm/context.md\` for a \`## Research Sources\` section.
-- If \`.swarm/context.md\` does not exist or the \`## Research Sources\` section is absent: proceed with fresh research.
-- If the URL or topic is listed there: reuse the cached summary \u2014 do not fetch the URL again.
-- If not listed (cache miss): fetch the URL, produce your normal response, then append this line at the end of your response:
-  CACHE-UPDATE: \`[YYYY-MM-DD] [URL or topic]: [1-2 sentence summary]\`
-  The Architect will save this line to \`.swarm/context.md\` under \`## Research Sources\`.
-- Cache bypass: if the user explicitly requests fresh research ("re-fetch", "ignore cache", "latest"): skip the cache check and fetch directly; still include the CACHE-UPDATE line.
-- Do NOT write to any file \u2014 SME is read-only. Cache persistence is the Architect's responsibility.`;
