OUTPUT_CAPPEDdiagnostic with narrowing guidance - Agent review suggestion schema v2 — added
file,line_start,line_end,recommended_actionfields to all review schemas and prompt templates; relaxed read-only constraint to allow trivial fixes - model: claude-sonnet-4-6 in skills — 32 SKILL.md files now declare explicit model; skills run on Sonnet 4.6 by default instead of inheriting parent model

- Process cleanup enforcement — mandatory
--verify-dead {pid}after every Codex call in ln-310, ln-510, ln-813; runtime guard blocks self-check pass without process verification - Exit reason enum canonicalized — CONVERGED/CONVERGED_LOW_IMPACT/MAX_ITER/ERROR/SKIPPED unified across workflow, runtime contract, status catalog, and smoke tests
- Perspective-based refinement — 5 iterations now use different review angles (Generic, Dry-Run, New Dev, Adversarial, Final Sweep) instead of repeating the same criteria; exits on 2 consecutive APPROVED
- Guard integration tests — new
guards.mjstest validates all machine-enforced state transitions (exit_reason, processes_verified_dead)
- ln-015-hex-line-uninstaller — standalone skill to remove hex-line hooks, output style, and settings from the system

summaryArtifactPath - Runtime status catalog — canonical status sets codified across all runtime contracts (story-gate, optimization, review, environment)

- ln-010 npx cache probe — hex package version detection via npx cache scan instead of
npm outdated -g; setup_hooks called unconditionally in Phase 3c verification - ln-014 auto-fix — Phase 5b auto-fixes missing Compact Instructions and MCP Tool Preferences sections in instruction files

- ln-150 removed — presentation-creator skill deleted; all references cleaned from pipeline, marketplace, site, docs (127 skills)
- ln-162 Check 18 — new automated check verifies every SKILL.md has
**Type:**line; prevents silent bypass of Check 9/17 - run_checks.sh hardened — Check 5 scoped to skills-catalog/ paths only; Check 9/17 exclude Workers from coordinator-only requirements
- ln-014 auditor → manager — renamed to ln-014-agent-instructions-manager; creates missing CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md

- Setup Environment plugin — 7th plugin extracted from agile-workflow: ln-010 coordinator + 4 workers (agent installer, MCP configurator, config syncer, instructions auditor)
- Research skills consolidated — ln-001 and ln-002 merged into ln-310 and ln-220 via shared layer; research methodology and docs creation extracted to shared references
- Best practice guides — MCP Tool Design, Hook Design, Prompt Caching; hooks redesigned with dangerous command blocker
