 Launch the autonomous development pipeline from within an AI CLI conversation. The pipeline runs as a fully detached background process -- closing the AI CLI session does NOT stop the pipeline.
 
-### Execution Mode
-
-Three execution modes are available. The user chooses one before configuring other options:
-
-1. **Foreground** (recommended) — `.\.prizmkit\dev-pipeline\run-feature.ps1 run`. Visible output, direct error feedback, no orphaned processes.
-2. **Background daemon** — `.\.prizmkit\dev-pipeline\launch-feature-daemon.ps1`. Runs fully detached, survives AI CLI session closure.
-3. **Manual** — Display the assembled command(s) only. Do not execute anything. User runs them on their own.

-- "pipeline status", "check pipeline", "how's it going", "progress"
-- "check progress", "what's the current situation"
+- "pipeline status", "feature progress", "check the pipeline", "how's the build going"

-**Note**: Bug-fix Phases 1-3 (Diagnosis, Triage, Reproduce) collapse to Phase 1 for detection purposes because these phases don't produce persistent artifacts. If interrupted during these phases, recovery restarts from Phase 1 (diagnosis), which re-derives understanding from available inputs (bug description, code) without interactive Q&A.

 - If resuming from Phase 5 (Review) and tests are failing, fix test failures first (max 3 attempts). If unfixable, ask user whether to continue or restart.
 - If resuming from Phase 4 (Fix), read fix-plan.md to understand the planned approach before writing code.
