 ### In-session Research Mode
-User có thể yêu cầu research ngay trong brainstorm (không cần đổi skill):
-- Trigger phrases: "research cái này", "bạn research giúp", "cần research", "hãy tìm best practice"
-- Khi trigger:
-  1. Xác định scope research (1-3 câu)
-  2. Thu thập nhanh từ nguồn phù hợp (docs chính thức, reference sites, patterns)
-  3. Trả về tóm tắt ngắn: findings, trade-offs, recommendation
-  4. Quay lại topic brainstorm hiện tại với quyết định đề xuất
+User can request research inline during brainstorm (no skill switch needed):
+- Trigger phrases: "research this", "can you research", "need to research", "find best practice"
+- When triggered:
+  1. Define research scope (1-3 sentences)
+  2. Quickly gather from appropriate sources (official docs, reference sites, patterns)
+  3. Return a short summary: findings, trade-offs, recommendation
+  4. Return to the current brainstorm topic with a proposed decision
 
-Nếu assistant nhận thấy topic có độ mơ hồ cao hoặc rủi ro quyết định sai, assistant nên chủ động đề xuất:
-`Mục này nên research nhanh trước khi chốt, bạn muốn mình research luôn trong phiên này không?`
+If the assistant notices a topic has high ambiguity or risk of a wrong decision, the assistant should proactively suggest:
+`This item should be researched quickly before locking in — would you like me to research it now in this session?`
 
 ### UI Direction Mode (design-in-the-loop; FEAT-002 + FEAT-007)
-Nếu user đang brainstorm cho dự án có UI/UX hoặc yêu cầu thiết kế trực quan:
+If the user is brainstorming a project with UI/UX or requests a visual design:
 
-**Layout — chọn một:**
+**Layout — choose one:**
 
-- **Legacy (một màn):** `.viepilot/ui-direction/{session-id}/index.html` + `style.css` + `notes.md`.
-- **Multi-page (nhiều màn):** cùng thư mục session, thêm `pages/{slug}.html` cho từng page; `index.html` là **hub** (liên kết tới mọi page). `style.css` shared.
+- **Legacy (single screen):** `.viepilot/ui-direction/{session-id}/index.html` + `style.css` + `notes.md`.
+- **Multi-page (multiple screens):** same session directory, add `pages/{slug}.html` for each page; `index.html` is the **hub** (links to every page). `style.css` is shared.
 
-**Quy tắc chung**
+**General rules**
 
-1. Tạo workspace direction cho phiên hiện tại (tối thiểu `style.css` + `notes.md`; HTML theo layout đã chọn).
-2. Mỗi lần user đổi requirement/layout/component:
-   - Cập nhật trực tiếp HTML/CSS direction
-   - Ghi decision + rationale vào `notes.md` (single source of truth cho design intent)
+1. Create a direction workspace for the current session (minimum `style.css` + `notes.md`; HTML per chosen layout).
+2. Each time the user changes a requirement/layout/component:
+   - Update HTML/CSS direction directly
+   - Record decision + rationale in `notes.md` (single source of truth for design intent)
 
-**Hook bắt buộc (multi-page only)**
+**Required hook (multi-page only)**
 
-Khi thư mục `pages/` tồn tại hoặc bất kỳ `pages/*.html` nào được thêm / đổi tên / xóa:
+When the `pages/` directory exists or any `pages/*.html` is added / renamed / removed:
 
-- Cập nhật **hub** `index.html` (nav / danh sách link tới mọi page còn lại).
-- Cập nhật ngay section **`## Pages inventory`** trong `notes.md` (bảng: Slug | File | Title | Purpose | Key sections | Nav to) — phải khớp 100% tập file `pages/*.html` hiện có.
-- Không kết thúc topic / không coi session UI đã “sync” nếu inventory lệch với file trên disk.
+- Update the **hub** `index.html` (nav / list of links to all remaining pages).
+- Immediately update the **`## Pages inventory`** section in `notes.md` (table: Slug | File | Title | Purpose | Key sections | Nav to) — must match 100% of the current `pages/*.html` file set.
+- Do not end a topic / do not consider the UI session “synced” if the inventory diverges from files on disk.
 
-3. Nếu user gửi references/components (bao gồm 21st.dev prompt/link), ghi rõ:
-   - nguồn tham chiếu
-   - phần UI áp dụng (page slug nếu multi-page)
-   - điều chỉnh theo mục tiêu sản phẩm
-4. Giữ prototype ở mức mô tả định hướng (directional), không ép build production-ready code ở bước brainstorm.
+3. If the user sends references/components (including 21st.dev prompts/links), record clearly:
+   - reference source
+   - the UI area it applies to (page slug if multi-page)
+   - adjustments according to product objectives
+4. Keep the prototype at a directional description level; do not force production-ready code at the brainstorm stage.

 #### Incremental update rule
 
-Khi một quyết định thay đổi:
-- Xác định **file HTML liên quan** (ví dụ: tech stack thay đổi → chỉ sửa `tech-stack.html` + `architecture.html`).
-- **Không** tái tạo toàn bộ workspace.
-- Thêm `data-updated="true"` vào `<section>` hoặc `<tr>` đã thay đổi.
-- Update `notes.md` YAML (`updated` date + entry tương ứng).
-- Giữ nguyên `decisions.html` history — chỉ thêm dòng mới hoặc update `status` field (không xóa lịch sử).
+When a decision changes:
+- Identify the **related HTML file** (e.g., tech stack change → only edit `tech-stack.html` + `architecture.html`).
+- Do **not** regenerate the entire workspace.
+- Add `data-updated="true"` to the changed `<section>` or `<tr>`.
+- Update `notes.md` YAML (`updated` date + corresponding entry).
+- Preserve `decisions.html` history — only add new rows or update the `status` field (do not delete history).
+
+#### Architect Item Actions (ENH-033)
+
+Each item in the Architect HTML workspace has a stable ID in the format `[ARCH:{page-slug}:{item-id}]`
+(e.g., `[ARCH:decisions:D1]`, `[ARCH:erd:E2]`, `[ARCH:apis:A4]`).
+
+Two buttons appear on hover next to each item in the HTML:
+- **✅ Approve** — copies: `[ARCH:{slug}:{id}] APPROVE — "{title}" on {slug} page. No changes needed.`
+- **✏️ Edit** — copies: `[ARCH:{slug}:{id}] EDIT — "{title}" on {slug} page. Current: "{excerpt}". What should I change?`
+
+**When you receive an APPROVE prompt:**
+- Confirm the item is accepted as-is.
+- Do NOT touch any other item or page.
+- Ask if the user wants to continue reviewing other items.
+
+**When you receive an EDIT prompt:**
+- Acknowledge the item by its full ID (`[ARCH:{slug}:{id}]`).
+- State what the current content is.
+- Ask the user what they want to change.
+- Apply the change only to that specific item on that specific page.
+
+**ISOLATION RULE — CRITICAL:**
+Each action is **strictly scoped** to the named page and item.
+
+- Approving `[ARCH:architecture:C2]` does **NOT** approve any item in `erd`, `apis`, `decisions`, or any other page.
+- Editing `[ARCH:decisions:D1]` does **NOT** trigger updates to `architecture`, `erd`, or any other page unless the user explicitly asks for cross-page follow-up.
+- **Never infer or cascade approval/edit across pages.** Each page is an independent artifact namespace.
+- Cross-page impacts (e.g., "this decision affects the ERD") must come from a **separate, explicit** user prompt after the first action is complete.

-Áp dụng **các phase tuần tự** (assistant không bỏ qua phase trừ khi user explicit “chỉ phase 1”):
+Apply **the phases sequentially** (assistant does not skip a phase unless the user explicitly says “phase 1 only”):
 
-#### Phase 1 — Mô phỏng người dùng cuối
+#### Phase 1 — Simulate end user
 
-1. Đóng vai **người dùng cuối** đang dùng prototype (lấy tên app / màn chính từ `notes.md`, HTML, hoặc prompt user).
-2. Liệt kê **3–8 scenario** cụ thể (vd. lần đầu mở app, hoàn tất task chính, lỗi edge case) — ưu tiên đúng page nếu multi-page (`pages/*.html`).
-3. Với từng scenario: mô tả **hành vi** (đọc/click tưởng tượng trên UI hiện tại) → ghi **pain**: mơ hồ, thiếu phản hồi, quá nhiều bước, không khớp mental model, khả năng mobile/a11y, v.v.
-4. Tổng hợp **Voice of pseudo-user** (bullet + mức độ **low / medium / high**).
-5. **Stress nội dung & tràn layout (content stress pass)** — *bắt buộc trong mỗi lần `/research-ui`*: sau happy/edge hành vi, mô phỏng **dữ liệu ở biên** trên từng màn/page quan trọng (hoặc toàn hub nếu single-screen). Tối thiểu xét **3–6 loại** sau (chọn đúng ngữ cảnh sản phẩm; bỏ qua mục không áp dụng nhưng **ghi rõ “N/A + lý do”**):
-   - **Copy dài**: tiêu đề, subtitle, CTA, placeholder ô nhập, tooltip, breadcrumb, tên địa điểm/người dài (Unicode), email/URL dài.
-   - **Khối lượng**: danh sách/grid **nhiều phần tử**, bảng nhiều cột/hàng, thẻ/tag/badge chồng, notification stack, lịch nhiều sự kiện.
-   - **Số & định dạng**: số tiền rất lớn/nhỏ, đơn vị dài, múi giờ/ngôn ngữ (nếu product có).
-   - **Trạng thái lỗi / validation**: message lỗi dài, nhiều lỗi cùng lúc, inline + banner.
-   - **Empty vs cực đầy**: không dữ liệu vs max items; skeleton vs flash of long content.
-   - **Viewport**: cùng stress trên **hẹp** (mobile) và **rộng** (desktop) nếu prototype nhắm đa kích thước.
+1. Role-play as the **end user** using the prototype (get app name / main screen from `notes.md`, HTML, or user prompt).
+2. List **3–8 specific scenarios** (e.g., first app launch, completing the main task, edge case errors) — prioritize the correct page if multi-page (`pages/*.html`).
+3. For each scenario: describe **behavior** (imagined reading/clicking on the current UI) → record **pain**: ambiguity, missing feedback, too many steps, mismatch with mental model, mobile/a11y concerns, etc.
+4. Synthesize **Voice of pseudo-user** (bullets + severity **low / medium / high**).
+5. **Content stress & layout overflow pass (content stress pass)** — *required in every `/research-ui` run*: after happy/edge behavior, simulate **boundary data** on each key screen/page (or the full hub if single-screen). Consider at minimum **3–6 of the following categories** (choose those relevant to product context; skip inapplicable ones but **note “N/A + reason”**):
+   - **Long copy**: headline, subtitle, CTA, input placeholder, tooltip, breadcrumb, long place/person names (Unicode), long emails/URLs.
+   - **Volume**: lists/grids with **many elements**, multi-column/row tables, stacked tags/badges, notification stacks, calendars with many events.
+   - **Numbers & formats**: very large/small monetary values, long units, time zones/locales (if the product supports them).
+   - **Error / validation states**: long error messages, multiple simultaneous errors, inline + banner.
+   - **Empty vs fully packed**: no data vs max items; skeleton vs flash of long content.
+   - **Viewport**: same stress on **narrow** (mobile) and **wide** (desktop) if the prototype targets multiple screen sizes.
 
-   **Stress recipes theo archetype (ENH-020)** — sau khi áp checklist trên, **chốt 1–2 archetype** khớp sản phẩm (từ `notes.md` / HTML / user) và áp **ít nhất hai recipe** trong mỗi hàng đã chọn (có thể diễn đạt lại bằng ngôn ngữ session; **ghi rõ archetype** trong Stress findings):
+   **Stress recipes by archetype (ENH-020)** — after applying the checklist above, **lock in 1–2 archetypes** that match the product (from `notes.md` / HTML / user) and apply **at least two recipes** from each selected row (may be rephrased in the session language; **note the archetype** in Stress findings):
 
-   | Archetype | Ưu tiên stress (recipe gợi ý) | Ghi chú |
-   |-----------|------------------------------|---------|
-   | **Landing / marketing** | Hero **headline** cực ngắn vs cực dài; **pricing** 3–5 tier + feature list dài mỗi tier; **FAQ** 10–20 mục (accordion/stack); **logo / social proof** hàng 8–15 logo + tên dài | Sticky CTA vs nội dung dài; section order khi overflow |
-   | **App shell / SaaS admin** | **Bảng** nhiều cột + nhiều hàng; **filter bar** chip + dropdown tràn; **sidebar** nhiều cấp; **notification** stack / toast chồng | Trạng thái dense vs comfortable; frozen column |
-   | **Form-heavy / wizard** | **Label + hint** dài; **multi-step** 5–7 bước + breadcrumb dài; **lỗi** inline từng field + banner tổng; khối **optional fields** mở rộng | Tab order, submit disabled ambiguity |
-   | **Content / reader** | **Bài** cực dài; **code block** rộng; **TOC** 20–40 heading; **related** 8–15 thẻ | Max line length, sidenote, mobile đọc |
-   | **Commerce / booking / marketplace** | **Kết quả tìm** grid dày; **giá** + đơn vị + discount dài; **ngày giờ** + múi giờ + DST; **đặt chỗ** (ghế, phòng) + availability text dài | Giỏ / summary trên mobile |
+   | Archetype | Stress priorities (suggested recipes) | Notes |
+   |-----------|---------------------------------------|-------|
+   | **Landing / marketing** | Hero **headline** very short vs very long; **pricing** 3–5 tiers + long feature list per tier; **FAQ** 10–20 items (accordion/stack); **logo / social proof** row of 8–15 logos + long names | Sticky CTA vs long content; section order when overflow |
+   | **App shell / SaaS admin** | **Table** many columns + many rows; **filter bar** chip + dropdown overflow; **sidebar** multi-level; **notification** stack / toast overlap | Dense vs comfortable state; frozen column |
+   | **Form-heavy / wizard** | Long **label + hint**; **multi-step** 5–7 steps + long breadcrumb; **errors** inline per field + global banner; expandable **optional fields** block | Tab order, submit disabled ambiguity |
+   | **Content / reader** | Very long **article**; wide **code block**; **TOC** 20–40 headings; **related** 8–15 cards | Max line length, sidenote, mobile reading |
+   | **Commerce / booking / marketplace** | Dense search results **grid**; **price** + long unit + discount; **date/time** + time zone + DST; **seat/room booking** + long availability text | Cart / summary on mobile |
 
-   Hybrid (vd. marketing + app): **gộp recipe** từ các hàng liên quan; tránh lặp cùng một stress vô nghĩa trên hai màn giống nhau.
+   Hybrid (e.g., marketing + app): **merge recipes** from relevant rows; avoid repeating the same meaningless stress on two identical screens.
 
-   Với prototype chỉ có nội dung mẫu ngắn: **không bắt buộc** sửa file ngay ở Phase 1 — hãy **mô tả giả định** (“nếu title 120 ký tự thì…”) và UI sẽ **tràn, ellipsis, scroll, overlap, wrap xấu** thế nào.
-6. Tổng hợp thêm **Stress findings** (bullet: loại stress → quan sát → severity **low/medium/high**) và merge vào tổng kết Phase 1 cho Phase 2.
+   For prototypes with only short sample content: **no requirement** to edit files immediately in Phase 1 — instead **describe assumptions** (“if the title is 120 characters…”) and how the UI would **overflow, ellipsis, scroll, overlap, wrap poorly**.
+6. Also synthesize **Stress findings** (bullets: stress type → observation → severity **low/medium/high**) and merge into the Phase 1 summary for Phase 2.
 
 #### Phase 2 — UX designer + research
 
-1. Đổi vai: **UX/UI designer** nhận feedback từ Phase 1 (**gồm cả Stress findings**).
-2. Map pain → **nguyên nhân thiết kế** (heuristic ngắn, pattern thiếu/sai); **ưu tiên hóa** P0 / P1 / P2 — **ưu tiên P0** nếu stress nội dung gây **mất thông tin, click sai, hoặc không dùng được** (overflow che CTA, text cắt nghĩa, bảng tràn không đọc được).
-3. **Web research**: khi cần benchmark hoặc pattern chuẩn ngành, chạy **1–3 truy vấn** (search) → tóm tắt nguồn, takeaway, trade-off.
-4. **Đề xuất cải tiến** cụ thể (thành phần UI, copy, layout, luồng) gắn với file/page (`slug` nếu multi-page).
+1. Switch role: **UX/UI designer** receiving feedback from Phase 1 (**including Stress findings**).
+2. Map pain → **design root cause** (short heuristic, missing/incorrect pattern); **prioritize** P0 / P1 / P2 — **prioritize P0** if content stress causes **information loss, mis-clicks, or unusability** (overflow covering CTA, truncated meaningful text, table overflow unreadable).
+3. **Web research**: when benchmarking or industry-standard patterns are needed, run **1–3 queries** (search) → summarize source, takeaway, trade-off.
+4. **Propose specific improvements** (UI components, copy, layout, flow) tied to file/page (`slug` if multi-page).
 
-#### Phase 3 — Cập nhật artifact
+#### Phase 3 — Update artifacts
 
-1. Sửa **`index.html`**, **`pages/*.html`**, **`style.css`** theo P0 → P1 trong phạm vi phiên (prototype direction, không ép production).
-2. Trong **`notes.md`**, thêm hoặc append section **`## UX walkthrough log`** (một entry mỗi lần chạy lệnh): ngày/scenario đã mô phỏng, pain chính, **Stress findings** (tóm tắt), link research (nếu có), **diff ý định** (bullet), file đã đổi. *Tùy chọn:* chỉnh HTML với **placeholder/copy dài** hoặc thêm **demo row** để minh họa stress đã bàn (ghi trong log).
-3. **Multi-page**: sau chỉnh sửa page, giữ **`## Pages inventory`** và **hub** khớp 100% file trong `pages/*` (hook FEAT-007).
+1. Edit **`index.html`**, **`pages/*.html`**, **`style.css`** per P0 → P1 within the session scope (prototype direction, no forcing production code).
+2. In **`notes.md`**, add or append a **`## UX walkthrough log`** section (one entry per command run): date/scenarios simulated, main pains, **Stress findings** (summary), research links (if any), **intent diff** (bullets), files changed. *Optional:* adjust HTML with **long placeholder/copy** or add a **demo row** to illustrate stress discussed (record in log).
+3. **Multi-page**: after editing a page, keep **`## Pages inventory`** and the **hub** matching 100% of files in `pages/*` (hook FEAT-007).
 
-**Quan hệ với `/research {topic}`**: lệnh **tự do** chỉ cần research ngắn và quay lại topic; **`/research-ui`** bắt buộc **3 phase** + **ghi log** + **chỉnh HTML/CSS khi có đề xuất hợp lý**.

+## 6B. Architect Delta Sync (ENH-034)
+
+Bridges the gap between UI Direction Mode and the Architect HTML workspace.
+When a UI brainstorm session surfaces architect-relevant gaps or changes, those
+deltas are parsed and written back to the relevant architect HTML template files.
+
+### Trigger conditions
+
+Runs when **either** condition is met:
+
+1. **End of UI session** — `.viepilot/ui-direction/{session-id}/` exists for the current
+   session AND the session contains ≥1 architect keyword hit detected during UI discussion
+   (see keyword lists below).
+2. **Manual command** — user types `/sync-arch` at any point in a session.
+
+> **Automatic mode (FEAT-012):** If the brainstorm staleness hook is installed
+> (`vp-tools hooks install`), stale architect items are flagged automatically after
+> **each AI response** — no need to type `/sync-arch`. The hook marks items
+> `data-arch-stale="true"` (amber badge) without rewriting content. Install once per machine.
+> See `docs/user/features/hooks.md` for setup.
+
+When neither condition is met: skip silently.
+When `/sync-arch` is used explicitly and no gaps are found: output
+`✓ No architect gaps detected in this session.`
+
+### Step 1: Locate architect session
+
+```bash
+ls .viepilot/architect/ 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+- Find `.viepilot/architect/{session-id}/` matching the current session context
+  (same date, same project name, or most recent).
+- If **no architect workspace exists**: skip with message:
+  `⚠ No architect workspace found. Run /vp-brainstorm --architect first to create one.`
+
+### Step 2: Gap detection — scan session for architect keywords by page
+
+Use the **existing trigger keyword lists** from Architect Design Mode (defined above) to
+identify which architect pages are affected:
+
+| Page | Keywords (excerpt) |
+|------|--------------------|
+| `architecture.html` | service, component, module, layer, boundary, system, integration, C4 |
+| `erd.html` | database, entity, table, schema, relation, foreign key, ERD, data model |
+| `apis.html` | endpoint, API, REST, route, HTTP, POST, GET, PUT, DELETE, request, response |
+| `deployment.html` | deploy, infrastructure, environment, staging, production, CI/CD, pipeline |
+| `data-flow.html` | data flow, event flow, queue, webhook, async, pub/sub |
+| `user-use-cases.html` | user story, use case, actor, persona, as a user, user flow, journey |
+| `sequence-diagram.html` | sequence, step by step, login flow, checkout flow, interaction |
+
+For each page where **≥1 keyword is found in the UI brainstorm session output**:
+- Mark as **affected**.
+- Extract the relevant sentences/paragraphs that describe the gap or change.
+
+### Step 3: Update HTML for each affected page
+
+For each affected page:
+
+1. **Read** `.viepilot/architect/{session-id}/{page}.html`
+2. **Identify the target element(s)**:
+   - Match the gap context to the nearest `<tr data-arch-id="...">` row or
+     `<div class="card" data-arch-id="...">` by comparing gap keywords to the
+     item's `data-arch-title` or first cell content.
+   - If no exact match: add a **new row** to the relevant `<tbody>` (the most
+     appropriate table for the content type) with the gap information.
+3. **Update element content**:
+   - For existing rows: update the relevant `<td>` cell with the new/corrected
+     information from the brainstorm.
+   - For new rows: create `<tr data-arch-id="{PAGE-PREFIX-NEW{n}}"
+     data-updated="true" class="updated">` with content from the brainstorm.
+4. **Mark as updated**: add `data-updated="true"` and `class="updated"` to the
+   changed element (uses existing `.updated` CSS — yellow left border + badge).
+5. **Add sync note**: add `data-arch-sync-note="{brief reason, ≤60 chars}"` to the
+   changed element recording why it was updated.
+
+**Do NOT**:
+- Change elements that were NOT identified as gaps.
+- Cascade updates across pages (isolation rule — ENH-033 applies here too).
+- Remove existing data — only update or add.
+
+### Step 4: Record delta in notes.md
+
+Append under `## architect_sync` section in `.viepilot/architect/{session-id}/notes.md`:
+
+```yaml
+## architect_sync
+- synced_at: {ISO datetime}
+  source_session: {ui-direction session-id}
+  trigger: {end-of-session | /sync-arch}
+  changes:
+    - page: {slug}
+      item_id: {data-arch-id}
+      action: {updated | added}
+      change: "{brief description of what was updated, ≤80 chars}"
+    - page: {slug}
+      item_id: {data-arch-id}
+      action: updated
+      change: "{description}"
+```
+
+### Step 5: Output sync report
+
+```
+🔄 Architect Sync complete
+
+Updated {N} items across {M} pages:
+  {page}    {item-id} [{action}] — {change}
+  ...
+
+Items marked with data-updated="true" in architect workspace.
+Open .viepilot/architect/{session-id}/ to review changes.
+```
+
+If only 1 item changed: single-line summary is sufficient.
+
+### notes.md schema update
+
+The `## architect_sync` section is **appended** (not replaced) on each sync run.
+Multiple sync entries can exist — each with its own `synced_at` timestamp.

+- `/review-arch` — Architect Mode: output summary table of decisions + open_questions from `notes.md`, confirm before continuing (FEAT-011)
+- `/sync-arch` — Architect Delta Sync (ENH-034): manually trigger architect HTML sync from current UI brainstorm session; scans session for architect gaps → updates relevant architect workspace pages
+- `/hooks-install` — Install the brainstorm staleness hook (FEAT-012): runs `vp-tools hooks install`; one-time setup per machine; auto-marks stale architect items after each AI response

+- [ ] Session file created with all required sections
+- [ ] `## Phases` present with at least Phase 1 containing real content
+- [ ] Decisions include rationale
 - [ ] Open questions tracked
 - [ ] Action items captured
 - [ ] Landing page topics trigger layout follow-up questions
-- [ ] 21st.dev references được dùng khi thảo luận landing page
-- [ ] Research có thể chạy ngay trong brainstorm session khi user yêu cầu
-- [ ] **FEAT-010 + ENH-019 + ENH-020**: Trong UI Direction, `/research-ui` (hoặc `/research ui`) chạy đủ 3 phase, gồm **content stress pass** + **archetype stress recipes** + **`## UX walkthrough log`** (Stress findings) khi chỉnh prototype
+- [ ] 21st.dev references used when discussing landing pages
+- [ ] Research can be run inline during the brainstorm session when the user requests it
+- [ ] **FEAT-010 + ENH-019 + ENH-020**: In UI Direction, `/research-ui` (or `/research ui`) runs all 3 phases, including **content stress pass** + **archetype stress recipes** + **`## UX walkthrough log`** (Stress findings) when editing prototype
 - [ ] Git committed
-- [ ] **FEAT-009**: Nếu binding thiếu và scope đã locked — đã chạy **Project meta intake** (bước 5) hoặc có **`## Meta intake waiver`** có lý do trước Completed
-- [ ] **`## Project meta intake (FEAT-009)`** trong session: `status` + `profile_id` khi completed (hoặc waiver nếu skipped)
+- [ ] **FEAT-009**: If binding is missing and scope is locked — **Project meta intake** (step 5) has been run or a **`## Meta intake waiver`** with reason exists before Completed
+- [ ] **`## Project meta intake (FEAT-009)`** in session: `status` + `profile_id` when completed (or waiver if skipped)
+- [ ] **ENH-034**: If UI session surfaces architect gaps → `architect_delta_sync` step runs; architect HTML updated + `## architect_sync` appended to notes.md
+- [ ] **FEAT-012**: If brainstorm staleness hook installed → stale architect items auto-flagged after each AI response (amber badge); `/hooks-install` sets this up once per machine
