+of truth for completion remains the current Nori Contract, evidence ledger,
+Nori Profile, Architecture Baseline, and report state.
+
+`opennori dashboard --root <project>` starts a local loopback HTTP/SSE kernel
+and serves a static visual dashboard. `opennori activity ...` lets an agent
+publish whether it is thinking, working, verifying, waiting for the user, or
+blocked. Activity can explain what the agent is doing, but it cannot mark an AC

+
+Dashboard is an observation surface, not a confirmation surface. It may show

+Visible product surfaces require Acceptance Surface Modeling before the agent
+drafts Product AC, records confident passing evidence, or reports confident
+completion. The model is an agent runtime contract, not a CLI validator. For
+UI screens, CRUD objects, dashboards, lists, tables, forms, settings, editors,
+inspectors, previews, management consoles, desktop windows, CLI prompts,
+MCP/tool-facing user flows, and similar workflows, the agent identifies:
+
+- actor
+- entry
+- visible trigger
+- object
+- action
+- interaction surface
+- required information
+- feedback
+- state change
+- persistence
+- destructive boundary
+- evidence shape
+
+When a goal says "project CRUD", "manage projects", "settings are editable",
+or "dashboard shows state", the agent splits create, view/select, edit,
+delete/unlink/archive, cancel, recover, and preview flows when their controls,
+fields, feedback, persistence, destructive boundary, or evidence differs. If a
+model item changes the meaning of done and is unknown, the agent asks one
+completion-changing question or records a clear assumption for the AC Review
+Loop. This must not become a fixed target-type word list, implementation plan,
+or hard CLI quality gate.
+
+The model is only useful when it changes the draft criteria. Coverage notes or
+agent prose that say "Acceptance Surface Modeling was considered" are not
+enough. For visible product surfaces, each relevant criterion carries its
+operation path in the criterion itself:
+
+- `user_story`: user role, entry, object, and operation or judgment
+- `measurement`: entry, visible trigger, interaction surface, object/action,
+  and required information or states
+- `threshold`: visible feedback, immediate state change, persistence or
+  destructive boundary, failure/recovery behavior, and evidence shape
+
+If the operation path is present only in coverage summary, private reasoning,
+architecture notes, evidence notes, or future implementation plans, the draft
+is not ready for approval and evidence/reporting cannot treat it as confidently
+acceptable.
+
+Acceptance Surface Modeling is a cross-Skill gate. Architecture, profile,
+build-vs-buy, health, evidence, and reporting Skills must not bypass it:
+
+- `nori-architecture-brainstorm` may decide runtime/state/module/dependency
+  boundaries only after the visible Product AC names the user operation path.
+- `nori-architecture-apply` must stop implementation when the current visible
+  Product AC is still a broad outcome.
+- `nori-architecture-challenge` must distinguish real architecture drift from
+  missing AC detail; missing controls, fields, feedback, persistence, or
+  delete semantics route to `nori-acceptance`.
+- `nori-build-vs-buy` may choose reusable infrastructure, but it cannot decide
+  what the user accepts on the product surface.
+- `nori-capability-profile` records Skill/stack/tool constraints separately;
+  satisfying them does not prove the visible workflow.
+- `nori-project-health` reports bundle/state readiness only; it routes broad
+  AC meaning back to acceptance review instead of treating readiness as
+  completion.
+
+If a user and agent are already discussing goal and AC before OpenNori is initialized or before a
+contract is approved, the agent should not restart the user through autogoal or a full discovery
+questionnaire. The `nori-acceptance` Skill adopts the current conversation into a standard draft
+Nori Contract by preparing a brief with `acceptance_basis.status: "draft"` and
+`acceptance_basis.source: "conversation"`, then calling `opennori draft --brief`. The result stays

 ## Risk Gate
 
-OpenNori separates acceptance status from evidence strength.
-
-For `high` risk criteria, weak evidence cannot make an AC `passing`. If an agent submits
-`passing` evidence with a weak kind, OpenNori downgrades the criterion to `failing` with
-`confidence: strong-evidence-required`.
-
-Strong evidence kinds:
-
-- `test-summary`
-- `screenshot`
-- `artifact`
-- `review-result`
-- `human-confirmation`
-- `protocol-v1`
-
-Strong explicit confidence values:
+OpenNori separates objective acceptance status from confidence and review risk.
 
-- `verified`
-- `reviewed`
-- `human-confirmed`
+If an agent submits `passing` evidence for a high-risk criterion, the CLI preserves the objective
+result that was submitted. It does not use a hard-coded strong/weak evidence word list to rewrite
+subjective sufficiency. Instead, `confidence` and `evidence_health` surface risk: high-risk passing
+evidence based only on `agent-observation`, missing reviewable sources, missing reviewability, or
+missing limitations makes completion objectively complete with review risk rather than confidently
+complete.
 
-This keeps high-risk completion from relying on agent self-summary.
+The only downgrade in the core state layer is objective: architecture/context-only sources cannot
+prove Product AC by themselves, so passing evidence made only of context sources is downgraded to
+product-evidence-required. Product evidence sufficiency remains an agent/user review judgment.

 ## Agent Rule
 
 On every turn:
 
-1. If the user gives a fuzzy goal or candidate AC, run `opennori discover --goal "<goal>" --root <repo> --json` before drafting.
+1. If the user gives a fuzzy goal or candidate AC, use `nori-acceptance` to inspect the goal and prepare the missing acceptance questions. Optionally store those Skill-prepared questions with `opennori discover --goal "<goal>" --questions '<questions.json>' --root <repo> --json` before drafting.
+1a. If the user asks for autogoal or wants fewer clarification rounds from a rough idea, use `nori-autogoal`: the Skill reads context, preserves the full user intent, infers assumptions, asks only completion-changing questions, and creates a standard Nori Contract Draft through `opennori draft --brief`. Autogoal is not a new contract type and must not shrink a broad idea into MVP, first version, prototype, phases, or task lists.
+1a-i. If the user asks for enhanced autogoal, self-grill, "agent grill yourself", or gives a rough idea such as a todolist and expects OpenNori to flesh out all usage scenarios, `nori-autogoal` must run Enhanced Discovery before drafting. The agent internally expands user roles, entrypoints, scenarios, data objects, rules, state transitions, invalid input, success feedback, persistence, failure/recovery, UI/UX, review methods, assumptions, and out-of-scope boundaries. It then shows a compact `Enhanced Discovery checked` section and only the critical questions that change completion meaning. The Skill-prepared brief must persist `acceptance_basis.source: "autogoal"`, `acceptance_basis.mode: "enhanced"`, `coverage_summary`, `assumptions`, `open_questions`, and optional `out_of_scope` so draft/status/report reveal that enhanced discovery was used. This remains Skill behavior and reviewable contract basis metadata, not a CLI hard validator, new artifact, phase list, process log, or task plan.
+1b. If the user asks for a complete product, complete feature loop, full app, full dashboard, full workbench, or explicitly says not MVP, the Skill must define the full acceptance surface before approval instead of compressing the goal into a compact starter AC set. Cover user roles, entry/navigation, core workflows, state transitions, data rules, permissions and boundaries, failure/recovery, persistence, UI/UX when visible, and report/review method. AC count may grow with the real product surface; execution still advances one current gap at a time. Only shrink the completion definition when the user explicitly chooses a prototype, MVP, first version, or narrower scope.
+1b-i. For complete-product autogoal or draft revision, the Skill must run a coverage self-check before asking for approval. It should map product surfaces to planned AC boundaries and split unrelated user judgments instead of bundling them into a few broad AC. Typical separate surfaces include project selection, overview, object list/detail, read-only preview, source/version/audit, memory, capabilities, external knowledge, search/index, timeline/audit, permissions/security boundary, state feedback, persistence, failure recovery, and final review/report. This remains Skill/user review behavior, not a CLI hard validator or natural-language quality test.
+1c. If the goal includes a visible interface such as a page, app, Dashboard, Desktop, workbench, form, settings screen, or admin console, the Skill must discover UI/UX acceptance as Product AC. It should cover entry/navigation, information hierarchy, empty/loading/error/success states, operation feedback, readability, visual and interaction consistency, recovery paths, and UI boundaries. This is Skill/user review behavior, not a CLI hard validator.
+1d. If the goal or AC includes UI, CRUD, Dashboard, list, table, form, settings,
+admin, desktop, CLI prompt, MCP tool flow, preview, inspector, or management
+surface behavior, build an Acceptance Surface Model before drafting,
+approving, recording confident passing evidence, or reporting confident
+completion. Model actor, entry, visible trigger, object, action, interaction
+surface, required information, feedback, state change, persistence, destructive
+boundary, and evidence shape. Do not accept broad outcome AC such as "CRUD
+works", "manage items", "settings are editable", or "dashboard shows state";
+split the underlying user operations when their entry, control, fields,
+feedback, persistence, destructive boundary, or evidence differs.
+1d-a. The modeled operation path must be written into the Nori Contract
+criterion, not only mentioned in coverage notes. For visible product surfaces,
+`measurement` should name the entry, visible trigger, interaction surface,
+object/action, and required information or states; `threshold` should name
+feedback, state change, persistence or destructive boundary, failure/recovery,
+and evidence shape. If those fields remain broad, revise the draft through
+`nori-acceptance` before approval, confident evidence, architecture apply, or
+completion reporting.
+1d-i. Apply that rule across all OpenNori Skills. Do not preview/confirm an
+architecture baseline, record architecture apply, file an architecture
+challenge, choose a dependency, mark profile compliance, report project health,
+or answer completion in a way that hides the fact that visible Product AC lacks
+user operation-path detail. Route those cases to `nori-acceptance`.
 2. Ask only the discovery questions that affect completion judgment. Do not turn discovery gaps into implementation tasks or completion evidence.
-3. If the user wants to discuss, brainstorm, explore, or is not ready to define acceptance criteria, run `opennori brainstorm --idea "<idea>" --root <repo> --json`.
+3. If the user wants to discuss, brainstorm, explore, or is not ready to define acceptance criteria, prepare candidate directions as the Skill and optionally store them with `opennori brainstorm --idea "<idea>" --candidates '<candidates.json>' --root <repo> --json`.
 4. Show only candidate acceptance directions and ask the user to choose or revise a direction. Brainstorm output is not a contract or completion evidence.
-5. If the user chooses a candidate, run `opennori draft --from-brainstorm <brainstorm-id> --candidate <A|B|C> --root <repo> --json`.
-6. If the user starts with "use OpenNori" / "用 OpenNori 跑这个任务" and discovery gaps are answered or explicitly accepted as assumptions, run `opennori draft --goal "<goal>" --root <repo> --json`.
-7. Show the draft acceptance criteria and ask the user to approve or revise them.
-8. After approval, run `opennori approve --root <repo> --summary "<approval>" --json`.
+5. If the user chooses a candidate, convert the chosen direction into a full NoriBrief with concrete user operations, visible results, boundaries, and review method.
+6. If the user starts with "use OpenNori" / "用 OpenNori 跑这个任务" and discovery questions are answered or explicitly accepted as assumptions, prepare a full NoriBrief and run `opennori draft --brief <brief.json> --root <repo> --json`.
+7. Show a compact draft overview, then start the AC Review Loop. Review one AC at a time with concrete user entry, visible trigger, interaction surface, object/action, required information or states, visible result, persistence or destructive boundary, non-passing cases, and evidence type. Ask the user to `confirm AC-<n>` or `revise AC-<n>: ...` before moving to the next AC. If the explanation is more specific than the criterion text, revise the draft criterion first so completion semantics live in the Nori Contract, not only in chat.
+8. Only after every AC has been confirmed one by one, ask for final approval and run `opennori approve --root <repo> --summary "<approval>" --json`.
 9. If the user states required Skills, preferred stacks, avoided tools, install policy, or execution constraints, run `opennori profile add --root <repo> ... --json` and keep those items out of the user acceptance criteria.
 10. For non-trivial goals, run `opennori architecture profiles --root <repo> --json`, preview a baseline, show it to the user, and confirm it before implementation.
 11. If the user provides a preferred architecture, add it with `opennori architecture profile --root <repo> --from <profile.json> --json` before previewing the baseline.
 12. Before implementing an acceptance gap, read `.opennori/architecture/baseline.md` and keep Product AC separate from Architecture Checks.
 13. Before self-building infrastructure, record a build-vs-buy decision.
 14. If project evidence conflicts with the baseline, run `opennori architecture challenge`; do not silently replace the baseline.
-15. If the user adds a new acceptance boundary after approval, run `opennori criterion add --root <repo> --id <id> ... --json`; the new criterion becomes an evidence gap without forcing the agent to edit state files manually.
-16. If the user revises a criterion later, run `opennori criterion update --root <repo> --criterion <id> ... --json`; old evidence for the changed criterion is cleared.
-17. If the user asks to update an existing OpenNori project, run `opennori doctor`, use `opennori upgrade --dry-run/--confirm` for manifest/protocol/guide refreshes, then run `opennori check`; ask the user before revising any existing AC flagged by `acceptance_review`. If packaged Plugin Skills are missing, reinstall or update the OpenNori package instead of copying Skills into the project.
-18. Run `opennori resume --root <repo>` or `opennori next --root <repo>` to recover the active goal and current acceptance gap from repository files.
-19. Work only to produce evidence for that gap under the confirmed Architecture Baseline.
-20. Add acceptance evidence with `opennori evidence add`; choose any suitable verification method, but record basis, sources, reviewability, confidence, and limitations. If existing evidence is invalid or obsolete, run `opennori evidence prune` first so stale proof does not occupy active context. Add profile compliance evidence with `opennori profile evidence` when profile items exist.
-21. Run `opennori evaluate`.
-22. Report acceptance state, profile compliance, and evidence, not implementation steps.
-23. If the goal is complete and the user asked to continue, review `next_recommendation.candidate_goals`, choose or refine the strongest human-facing next goal, then run discovery or draft for a new Nori Contract. Do not treat candidate goals as approved AC, phases, task lists, or evidence.
+15. If the user adds a new acceptance boundary while reviewing a draft, run `opennori criterion add --root <repo> --from-draft --goal <goal-id> --id <id> ... --json`; the draft remains unapproved, the new criterion becomes part of the draft review surface, and the CLI keeps the draft contract, evidence ledger, goal README, per-criterion dossier, and manifest in sync. Do not patch the draft files manually unless the CLI is broken and project-health recovery has failed.
+16. If the user adds a new acceptance boundary after approval, run `opennori criterion add --root <repo> --id <id> ... --json`; the new criterion becomes an evidence gap without forcing the agent to edit state files manually.
+17. If the user revises a criterion while reviewing a draft, run `opennori criterion update --root <repo> --from-draft --goal <goal-id> --criterion <id> ... --json`; the draft remains unapproved and the AC Review Loop restarts from the changed AC. If the user revises an already approved current contract, run `opennori criterion update --root <repo> --criterion <id> ... --json`; old evidence for the changed criterion is cleared and the revised AC becomes the current evidence gap.
+18. If the user asks to update an existing OpenNori project, run `opennori doctor`, use `opennori upgrade --dry-run/--confirm` for manifest/protocol/guide refreshes, then run `opennori check`; use `nori-acceptance` to review existing AC wording with the user instead of relying on fixed CLI quality gaps. If packaged Plugin Skills are missing, reinstall or update the OpenNori package instead of copying Skills into the project.
+19. Run `opennori resume --root <repo>` or `opennori next --root <repo>` to recover the current goal and current acceptance gap from repository files.
+20. Work only to produce evidence for that gap under the confirmed Architecture Baseline.
+21. Add acceptance evidence with `opennori evidence add`; choose any suitable verification method, but record basis, sources, reviewability, confidence, and limitations. For visible product surfaces, evidence should name the modeled operation path: entry, visible trigger, object/action, interaction surface, required information, feedback, state change, persistence or destructive boundary, and evidence shape. If existing evidence is invalid or obsolete, run `opennori evidence prune` first so stale proof does not occupy current context. Add profile compliance evidence with `opennori profile evidence` when profile items exist.
+22. If a dashboard is useful, publish live activity from `agent_next.dashboard_activity` or `opennori activity start/heartbeat/finish`; do not treat that activity as acceptance evidence or use dashboard controls for confirmation. If no current goal exists, do not bind activity to drafts; if multiple current goals exist, run doctor/project-health because the state is broken.
+23. Run `opennori evaluate`.
+24. Report acceptance state, profile compliance, and evidence, not implementation steps. If objective evidence exists but a visible product AC lacks Acceptance Surface Modeling, report it as objectively evidenced but not confidently acceptable yet and route back to `nori-acceptance`.
+25. If the goal is complete and the user asked to continue, infer or ask for the next human-facing outcome from the completed context and user intent, prepare a full NoriBrief, then run `opennori draft --brief <brief.json> --root <repo> --json`. Do not treat next-loop suggestions as approved AC, phases, task lists, or evidence.
