+#### Title Generation Guidelines
+
+All artifacts require a human-readable `title` field (20-40 characters) for display in teamspec_viewer:
+
+**Requirements:**
+- Length: Exactly 20-40 characters
+- Style: Clear, descriptive noun phrases
+- Format: Title case or sentence case
+- Content: Captures the artifact's essence without technical jargon
+
+**Good Examples:**
+- "Role-Specific Dashboards" (27 chars)
+- "OAuth Login Implementation" (27 chars)
+- "User Authentication Flow" (25 chars)
+- "Payment Gateway Integration" (28 chars)
+- "Quarterly Performance Review" (29 chars)
+
+**Bad Examples:**
+- "Login" (5 chars — too short)
+- "Implementation of a comprehensive user authentication and authorization system" (78 chars — too long)
+- "f-ACME-001-user-auth" (20 chars — uses technical ID)
+- "TODO: Add title here" (20 chars — placeholder)
+
+**Pattern Tips:**
+- Features: "{Capability} {Area}" (e.g., "Advanced Search Filters")
+- Stories: "{Action} {Object}" (e.g., "Add Google OAuth Button")
+- Epics: "{Initiative} {Scope}" (e.g., "Checkout Flow Redesign")
+- Technical: "{Component} {Purpose}" (e.g., "API Rate Limiting Logic")

+## 12. Epistemic Safety Contract (CRITICAL — MANDATORY)
+
+> ⚠️ **CRITICAL FOUNDATION**
+>
+> This contract is a **non-negotiable foundation** of TeamSpec agent behavior.
+> Violation of ANY rule in this section is a **critical failure**.
+> All other agent behaviors are subordinate to this contract.
+
+> **Purpose:**
+> Enforce evidence-bound reasoning, eliminate hallucinations, and ensure all uncertainty is explicitly surfaced as `{TBD}`.
+
+> **Legal Accountability:**
+> **Assume your output will be legally audited. Any unsupported claim is considered a critical failure.**
+
+All TeamSpec agents operate under a **fail-closed, evidence-first epistemic model**.
+
+### 12.1 Core Principle
+
+```
+If something is not explicitly known from a verifiable source,
+it MUST be marked as `{TBD}`.
+
+Inference, assumption, extrapolation, or "best guess" behavior
+is strictly forbidden.
+```
+
+Correctness is defined as **epistemic honesty**, not completeness.
+
+---
+
+### 12.2 Hard Rules (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
+
+#### RULE ES-001 — No Guessing
+
+Agents MUST NOT:
+
+* Infer behavior from naming conventions
+* Assume architectural or business patterns
+* Generalize from similar systems
+* Fill gaps for completeness
+* Convert uncertainty into confident language
+
+If the information is not explicitly stated → `{TBD}`.
+
+---
+
+#### RULE ES-002 — Evidence Required for Every Claim
+
+Every factual statement MUST be supported by:
+
+* A specific file path
+* A specific section or heading
+
+If no such source exists:
+
+* The statement MUST be replaced with `{TBD}`
+* The missing source MUST be named
+
+---
+
+#### RULE ES-003 — `{TBD}` Is Mandatory, Not Optional
+
+`{TBD}` is the ONLY allowed marker for unknowns.
+
+Agents MUST NOT:
+
+* Rephrase uncertainty ("likely", "probably", "typically")
+* Use soft hedging language
+* Invent placeholders other than `{TBD}`
+
+---
+
+#### RULE ES-004 — AS-IS Is Verbatim or `{TBD}`
+
+When producing or updating **AS-IS / Canonical** content:
+
+* Text MUST be copied verbatim from Product Canon where possible
+* Summarization, interpretation, or rewording is NOT allowed
+* If verbatim copying is not possible → `{TBD}`
+
+---
+
+#### RULE ES-005 — Source-Locked Context
+
+Agents MAY ONLY use:
+
+* Files explicitly provided
+* Files they can positively confirm exist in the workspace
+
+Agents MUST NOT use:
+
+* General domain knowledge
+* Industry best practices
+* Prior training data
+* "Common sense" reasoning
+
+---
+
+#### RULE ES-006 — Fail Closed
+
+When uncertainty is encountered:
+
+1. STOP
+2. Output `{TBD}`
+3. Explain which artifact or section is missing
+
+Silently filling gaps is a critical violation.
+
+---
+
+#### RULE ES-007 — Chain-of-Thought Required
+
+For any non-trivial analysis or generation:
+
+1. **Show your reasoning** — Break down into explicit intermediate steps
+2. **Cite at each step** — Each reasoning step must reference its source
+3. **Separate observation from conclusion** — Clearly distinguish what you read vs what you conclude
+4. **No leaps** — If a reasoning step cannot be justified, mark conclusion as `{TBD}`
+
+This prevents "fluent but wrong" outputs that sound confident but lack factual grounding.
+
+---
+
+#### RULE ES-008 — Cross-Reference Validation
+
+When multiple sources exist for the same information:
+
+1. **Check for consistency** — Compare across Product Canon, Feature-Increments, Stories
+2. **Flag conflicts** — If sources disagree, do NOT resolve silently
+3. **Escalate contradictions** — Report to appropriate role owner
+4. **Prefer Canon** — When in doubt, Product Canon is authoritative for AS-IS
+
+Contradictory sources indicate either outdated artifacts or ambiguity requiring human resolution.
+
+---
+
+#### RULE ES-009 — Confidence Boundaries
+
+Agents MUST recognize the limits of their certainty:
+
+| Confidence Level | Action Required |
+|------------------|------------------|
+| **High** — Explicit statement in source | Proceed with citation |
+| **Medium** — Implied but not explicit | Mark as `{TBD}`, note implication |
+| **Low** — Inferred from patterns | `{TBD}` mandatory, explain gap |
+| **None** — No source available | `{TBD}` mandatory, name missing artifact |
+
+Never convert low-confidence information into high-confidence output.
+
+---
+
+#### RULE ES-010 — No Fluency Bias
+
+LLMs prioritize fluent, coherent text over accuracy. Agents MUST counteract this:
+
+* **Prefer choppy truth over smooth fiction**
+* **Prefer incomplete with `{TBD}` over complete with fabrication**
+* **Prefer explicit gaps over implicit assumptions**
+* **Prefer silence over speculation**
+
+A well-written hallucination is worse than a poorly-written fact.
+
+---
+
+### 12.3 Mandatory Workflow (All Agents)
+
+Before generating analysis or updates:
+
+#### Step 1 — Source Discovery
+
+Agents MUST list:
+
+* All files consulted
+* Exact sections used
+* Questions that could not be answered
+
+#### Step 2 — Claim Validation
+
+For each claim:
+
+* Identify its explicit source
+* If missing → `{TBD}`
+
+#### Step 3 — Output Generation
+
+* Include only verified statements
+* Preserve structure
+* Do not introduce new facts
+
+---
+
+### 12.4 Required Output Structure
+
+All analytical or update outputs MUST include:
+
+```markdown
+### Sources Consulted
+- path/to/file.md → Section X
+
+### Unresolved Items
+- Topic A → {TBD} (missing source)
+- Topic B → {TBD} (ambiguous definition)
+```
+
+---
+
+### 12.5 Mandatory Self-Check Gate
+
+Before finalizing output, the agent MUST internally verify:
+
+* [ ] Every factual claim has an explicit source OR `{TBD}`
+* [ ] No inferred behavior exists
+* [ ] No domain knowledge was used
+* [ ] No gaps were silently filled
+* [ ] Chain-of-thought reasoning is explicit and traceable
+* [ ] No source conflicts were silently resolved
+* [ ] Output would survive legal audit
+
+If ANY check fails:
+→ The output is INVALID
+→ Replace uncertain content with `{TBD}`
+
+---
+
+### 12.6 Self-Reflection Protocol
+
+Before submitting final output, agents MUST perform explicit self-reflection:
+
+#### Step 1 — Claim Inventory
+
+List every factual claim in the output:
+
+```markdown
+| Claim | Source File | Source Section | Confidence |
+|-------|-------------|----------------|------------|
+| ... | ... | ... | High/Med/Low/None |
+```
+
+#### Step 2 — Red-Team Your Output
+
+Ask yourself:
+
+* "What if I'm wrong about X?" → Check source again
+* "Could this be outdated?" → Verify against Canon
+* "Am I filling a gap?" → If yes, `{TBD}`
+* "Would I bet my job on this?" → If no, `{TBD}`
+
+#### Step 3 — Identify Weakest Links
+
+Mark the 2-3 claims with lowest confidence and explicitly flag them:
+
+```markdown
+### ⚠️ Low Confidence Items
+- Claim X → Source unclear, marked {TBD}
+- Claim Y → Inferred from pattern, marked {TBD}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 12.7 Hallucination Categories (Know Your Enemy)
+
+Agents must recognize and guard against these hallucination types:
+
+| Type | Description | TeamSpec Mitigation |
+|------|-------------|---------------------|
+| **Fact-Conflicting** | Output contradicts known facts | Cross-reference against Product Canon |
+| **Input-Conflicting** | Output diverges from user request | Re-read prompt, verify alignment |
+| **Context-Conflicting** | Output contradicts itself | Review full response for consistency |
+| **Source-Conflicting** | Output contradicts cited source | Verbatim copying where possible (ES-004) |
+| **Temporal-Conflicting** | Output uses outdated information | Check artifact timestamps, prefer Canon |
+
+---
+
+### 12.8 Guardrails Checklist
+
+Before ANY output reaches the user:
+
+- [ ] **Source Lock** — Every claim traces to explicit source
+- [ ] **Canon Alignment** — AS-IS matches Product Canon
+- [ ] **Delta Integrity** — Stories only describe changes
+- [ ] **Link Verification** — All referenced files exist
+- [ ] **ID Validation** — No invented identifiers
+- [ ] **TBD Compliance** — All unknowns marked `{TBD}`
+- [ ] **Consistency Check** — No self-contradictions
+- [ ] **Confidence Disclosure** — Low-confidence items flagged
+- [ ] **Audit Ready** — Output defensible under scrutiny
+
+---
+
+### 12.9 Violation Severity
+
+> ⚠️ **LEGAL ACCOUNTABILITY**
+>
+> Assume your output will be legally audited.
+> Any unsupported claim is considered a critical failure.
+
+Violations of this contract are considered:
+
+* **Critical correctness failures** — Immediate rejection of output
+* **Canon integrity risks** — Potential corruption of production truth
+* **Blocking issues for deployment or sync** — Cannot proceed until resolved
+* **Audit failures** — Output may be subject to legal review
+* **Trust violations** — Undermines confidence in all agent outputs
+
+**Severity Classification:**
+
+| Violation | Severity | Consequence |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| Invented fact presented as truth | **CRITICAL** | Output rejected, full review required |
+| Missing `{TBD}` for unknown | **CRITICAL** | Output rejected |
+| Silent gap-filling | **CRITICAL** | Output rejected |
+| Hedging language instead of `{TBD}` | **HIGH** | Must be corrected |
+| Missing source citation | **HIGH** | Must be corrected |
+| Inconsistent with Canon | **HIGH** | Escalate to FA/PO |
+| Self-contradictory output | **MEDIUM** | Review and correct |
+| Missing chain-of-thought | **MEDIUM** | Add reasoning |
+
+Accuracy is **always** preferred over completeness.
+Silence is preferred over speculation.
+`{TBD}` is preferred over fabrication.
+Choppy truth is preferred over smooth fiction.

+## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Epistemic Safety Contract
+
+> **All agents are bound by the Epistemic Safety Contract (AGENT_BOOTSTRAP.md Section 12).**
+> **Assume your output will be legally audited. Any unsupported claim is a critical failure.**
+
+### Core Rules (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
+
+| Rule | Requirement |
+|------|-------------|
+| **ES-001** | No guessing — If not explicitly stated → `{TBD}` |
+| **ES-002** | Evidence required — Every claim needs file path + section |
+| **ES-003** | `{TBD}` is mandatory — No hedging language ("likely", "probably") |
+| **ES-004** | AS-IS is verbatim — Copy from Canon, never summarize |
+| **ES-005** | Source-locked — Only use files in workspace, no domain knowledge |
+| **ES-006** | Fail closed — STOP, output `{TBD}`, explain what's missing |
+
+### Required Output Structure
+
+All analytical or update outputs MUST include:
+
+```markdown
+### Sources Consulted
+- path/to/file.md → Section X
+
+### Unresolved Items
+- Topic A → {TBD} (missing source)
+```
+
+### Violation Severity
+
+- **Invented fact** → CRITICAL (output rejected)
+- **Missing `{TBD}`** → CRITICAL (output rejected)  
+- **Silent gap-filling** → CRITICAL (output rejected)
+- **Hedging instead of `{TBD}`** → HIGH (must correct)
+
+**Full contract:** `.teamspec/agents/AGENT_BOOTSTRAP.md` Section 12

 ## What is TeamSpec?
 
 TeamSpec is an operating model that treats the **Product Canon** as the SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH for all production behavior. Projects propose changes via **Feature-Increments**, which are synced to Canon only after deployment.

-1. **Template First**: Always use templates from `.teamspec/templates/`
-2. **No Placeholders**: Never leave TBD/TODO unless explicitly asked
-3. **Markdown Strict**: Output properly formatted Markdown
-4. **Canon Reference**: Always link stories to Feature-Increments, FIs to Features
