-# Qualia Framework v5.8
+# Qualia Framework v6.2.7
 
-A harness engineering framework for [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code). It installs into `~/.claude/` and wraps your AI-assisted development workflow with structured planning, execution, verification, and deployment gates.
+A harness engineering framework for Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. It installs into `~/.claude/` and/or `~/.codex/` and wraps your AI-assisted development workflow with structured planning, execution, verification, and deployment gates.
 
 It is not an application framework like Rails or Next.js. It doesn't generate code, run servers, or process data. It's an opinionated workflow layer that tells Claude how to plan, build, and verify your projects end-to-end, from "tell me what you want to make" to "here's the handoff doc for your client."
 
-**The v5 line:**
+**v6.2.7** — Codex runtime compatibility. The installer now writes Codex-native hooks, TOML agents, bin scripts, rules, skills, templates, knowledge, guide, and role config under `~/.codex/`, not just `AGENTS.md`.
+
+**The v5 line (preserved):**
 - **v5.0**, alignment discipline. CONTEXT.md domain glossary, decisions/ ADRs, `/qualia-zoom`, `/qualia-issues`, `/qualia-triage`, slim CLAUDE.md per Matt Pocock's instruction-budget rule, insights-driven hooks.
 - **v5.1**, autonomous visual-polish loop. Screenshots a URL at three viewports, scores 8 design dimensions with vision, fixes top issues, loops until pass or kill-switch. Multi-target installer (Claude Code + Codex AGENTS.md + Both).
 - **v5.2**, polish-loop reliability. `--reduced-motion` capture flag, `--routes URL1,URL2` multi-route mode, first supervised end-to-end run.
@@ -13,6 +15,19 @@ It is not an application framework like Rails or Next.js. It doesn't generate co
 - **v5.6**, Demo vs Full Project gate at kickoff. Mandatory discovery interview via `/qualia-discuss` in PROJECT MODE (8 questions for demos, 14 for full projects). Demo-extension branch in `/qualia-milestone` for client-signs-after-demo conversion.
 - **v5.7**, `/qualia-feature` consolidates `/qualia-quick` + `/qualia-task` into one auto-scoped command.
 - **v5.8**, surface cleanup. `/qualia-polish --loop` replaces `/qualia-polish-loop`. `/qualia-quick`, `/qualia-task`, and `/qualia-prd` removed (deprecated in v5.7).
+- **v5.9**, deep-research fixes. Surface-drift test (`tests/refs.test.sh`) catches dead command references on every release. ERP report retry queue (`bin/erp-retry.js`) replaces the v5.8 lying retry message with a real persistent queue. Four structured agents (verifier, plan-checker, roadmapper, qa-browser) move to Sonnet for ~40% per-phase cost cut. Verifier downgrades to FAIL on any `INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE` line, closing the false-pass vector.
+- **v5.9.1**, kickoff UX fix. `/qualia-new` now opens with the Demo/Full/Quick gate as Step 1 (`AskUserQuestion`), then exactly one free-text pitch question, then mandatory hand-off to `/qualia-discuss` — no ad-hoc clarification questioning between them. The shape gate drives the whole downstream interview, so it must come first.
+- **v5.9.2**, hook ordering + ERP payload fixes. `pre-push.js` self-gates against `branch-guard.js` so a blocked-push no longer leaves an orphan bot commit in local history. `qualia-report` ERP payload omits empty ISO datetime fields (`session_started_at`, `last_pushed_at`) instead of sending `''`, which the ERP validator rejected as 422.
+- **v6.0.0**, audit + cleanup pass. See CHANGELOG for the full list. Highlights: uninstall/migrate manifests fixed, silent hook `catch{}` blocks now traced, phantom `rules/frontend.md` references replaced, `/qualia-learn` and `/qualia-map` declare their actually-used tools, `/qualia-plan` revision-cycle contradiction reconciled (max 2), `agents/planner.md` and `agents/qa-browser.md` MCP tools declared in frontmatter, `rules/trust-boundary.md` extracted, hardcoded `/tmp` paths replaced with `mktemp`, fail-collect test runner, pre-v4 CHANGELOG archived.
+- **v6.1.0**, `/qualia-vibe` adds a fast layout-preserving design pivot path and strengthens design-surface guards.
+- **v6.2.0**, removes hook-created bot commits. The ERP/report contract is `/qualia-report` POSTs, not passive git scraping of `tracking.json`.
+- **v6.2.1**, active-surface drift guard. README, guide, onboarding, ERP contract, road, milestone, polish, verify, and roadmapper wording now align with v6.2 behavior; refs tests fail on the stale claims.
+- **v6.2.2**, Framework/Memory/ERP clarity. ERP can hand a work packet into Framework sessions, reports can carry ERP-native IDs, and public npm install proof is a first-class release smoke.
+- **v6.2.3**, ERP ID guard. ERP-native IDs are UUID-only in report payloads; slugs remain in `project_id`/`team_id`.
+- **v6.2.4**, report payload contract. The ERP payload builder is now a shipped, tested script instead of shell-embedded inline code.
+- **v6.2.5**, project snapshot export. Framework can write `.planning/snapshots/project-snapshot-*.json` for explicit ERP/admin import.
+- **v6.2.6**, project snapshot upload. Framework can POST that project snapshot directly to ERP's project snapshot intake.
+- **v6.2.7**, Codex runtime compatibility. Codex installs now get native `hooks.json`, `agents/*.toml`, runtime scripts, rules, skills, templates, knowledge, guide, and config under `~/.codex/`.
 
 The Full Journey architecture carries forward: `/qualia-new` maps the entire project arc from kickoff to client handoff upfront, and the Road chains end-to-end in `--auto` mode with only two human gates per project.

 - Every hook and the status line are pure Node.js — no external bash, jq, or GNU coreutils required.
-- Skills are executed by Claude Code's own Bash tool (which Claude Code provides on all platforms, including Windows).
+- Skills are installed as Markdown instructions with Node.js helpers; Claude and Codex each receive paths native to their own home directory.
+- Codex installs use Codex-native hook status messages and agent TOML files; Codex does not expose a Claude-style global `statusLine` setting, so `statusline.js` is installed as a shared renderer/helper instead of a fake config key.
