Subject: [PATCH 01/18] fix(build-plan-status): --refresh keeps an existing
 build-plan.json current (#437)

fix(build-plan-status)

# PR 437 review r1 (self-review, small delta)
Verdict: APPROVE
- --refresh path: parse into TMP_JSON as before; only when json already exists and --json not given, compare minus generatedAt, cp on difference. Never creates. Correct.
- Same parser as --json (parse_plan), so content identical to an explicit run.
- Test T11 covers flip, no-rewrite, no-create. 70/70 pass.
- Docs/routing surfaces in sync (render-routing --check).

+- fix(build-plan-status): --refresh keeps an existing build-plan.json current, so a day of building no longer reads as 0 built — MendixMau
 - learn(unit-test): the unit-test skill names the per-flow `Unit flows:` list next to `Unit modules:`, so whether a flow gets a test reads the same in both places (follow-up to #435) — MendixMau
 - learn(load-test): **new on-demand skill for load testing a page without correlating Mendix's client protocol by hand: Playwright records the real `/xas/` calls, a probe maps each opaque `runtimeOperation` to its microflow through Jaeger, and the chosen call is replayed with the session's own cookie and CSRF token.** Ten field traps (HTTP 200 on a failed action, caught REST errors under a green microflow span, the wrong call hammered, a recording that still held the previous page, a tracing check that failed open, a harness that throttled itself, harness vs app limits, requests vs users, sampled trace counts, empty data) and a four-line report that says what the run does not prove. Routed ondemand for lead, test and review; no instrument ships yet and the roadmap's "no load testing" line is reworded. Field evidence: a warehouse demo app, Mendix 11, 16 runs 2026-09-09 to 2026-10-08, bursts of 1000 and 2000 concurrent calls on one session — MendixMau
 - new(process-map): **Process map: one swimlane map per business process, each step on its wireframe once screens exist, every open question and ASSUMED decision pinned to the step it is about; drawn twice, a draft at Stage 2 close without screens (pass 1, shown at CAC-3) and the full map at Stage 3 with screens (pass 2, walked at the Stage 3 gate close-out).** `skills/process-map.md` (when, model, anchoring, build, verify by looking) and `project-bin/process-map.js` (`validate`, `anchor`, `build`; Node stdlib, deterministic) with its template. Named "map" because "process" in the progress report means the toolkit's own stages, while this shows the app's business process. With no wireframes, a step may name a screen that is not drawn yet or have none, and a person step stays a person step; once a wireframe exists `validate` fails a step page with no wireframe, a use case on no process and not standalone, a decision with one outcome, two steps in one cell. `anchor` places items mechanically (named microflow, listed or named use case, named screen, overlapping source lines) and keeps judged placements by fingerprint, so a reworded question is unplaced again instead of silently wrong; global buckets are allowed and counted. Wired into the Stage 3 Agent produces and Surface rows, a `process-map` opt-in manifest row (an existing model counts as opting in), the `swimlanes` opt-in row (the model discharges it), CAC-3 and CAC-4, and a check_stage_3 FAIL when the map is older than its model, its anchors or a wireframe. `tests/wave2/test-process-map.sh` on a synthetic order approval fixture with its own committed BRD, covering both passes. Field evidence: a requirements-driven rebuild POC, 2026-10-16, where the reviewer could not tell where the sixty questions fit; the map placed 102 items with 0 unplaced. — MendixMau

MIME-Version: 1.0

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Lands #309 by @AlvinnYeo. Independent review: APPROVE.

# PR 450 (lands #309 by @AlvinnYeo) review r1 (delta self-review)
Verdict: APPROVE
- w1 must-fix 1 done: every #244 status now says closed 2026-10-14 by #322, upstream root cause remains (gh issue view 244 confirms). No STOP-table wording left in the note.
- w1 must-fix 2 done: body drops the stale byte-identical claim.
- Inbox lane only (contrib/inbox + one CHANGELOG line, credit " — AlvinnYeo"); nothing loaded or routed; zero behaviour risk.
- Optional word limits not enforced (inbox notes, maintainer call).

+- process(inbox): **five field notes from an existing-app legacy-widget rebuild** — exec.sh keeps an MDL write when mxbuild crashes on it and the next exec runs on "Baseline NOT measured"; a signal stop of `run --test-endpoint` leaves AfterStartupMicroflow on `MxTest.RegisterEndpoint` (second field case for #244); Unit-row delete refused as ORPHAN, rename-then-drop works; a durable-rebuild kit with a "restate from DESCRIBE" STOP row (DESCRIBE omits module-role and layout-row visibility: 97 role locks in 16 documents, none shown); learned entries for File Uploader image mode (CE0463), native-mapped `radiobuttons`/`image`, tab-page `CaptionParams`/`Visible:` silently dropped, BUG-39 on widget XPath, and two-hop data-source paths.

+# Durable rebuild of legacy-widget pages: a four-part kit, and "restate from DESCRIBE" as a STOP item
+
+**From:** a field project (anonymised) — an existing Mendix app (old widgets throughout) changed with mxcli + this toolkit
+**Date:** 2026-10-13
+**Kind:** process
+**Field evidence:** 79 non-writable widgets on 40 live documents (DESCRIBE `-- NOT re-executable` count)
+and 97 role-locked widgets in 16 documents (BSON scan; DESCRIBE showed none). 34 pages and snippets
+were restated whole; the read-back afterwards found 0 non-writable widgets and 0 role locks on them.
+Two drafted scripts would have silently dropped role or row visibility had they run. Mendix 11.14.0
+Beta (Classic client, Production security), mxcli v0.25.0, toolkit c1efcb3.
+**Proposed target:** `skills/existing-app-change.md` (a "legacy-widget pages" section), a STOP row in
+`skills/learned-mdl-preflight.md`, possibly a `project-bin/` scan once field-proven as a file
+
+**Currency check:** 2026-10-16 against master d1cbd41: partly stale. STOP row 21 in `skills/learned-mdl-preflight.md` now covers restating a document another script also edits. Still open: the legacy-widget section in `skills/existing-app-change.md` and the scan for role locks that DESCRIBE does not show.
+---
+
+## What is already covered
+
+- `bug-logs/mxcli-bugs.md` BUG-115 addendum: "Grep a generated script for `NOT re-executable` before
+  executing it" (for the File Manager widget).
+- `bug-logs/mxcli-bugs.md` (the `hasRole()` entry): no MDL syntax writes `ConditionalVisibilitySettings.ModuleRoles`.
+- `skills/learned-mdl-cannot-express.md` (master bda5bed, #277): "A widget visible to one role and not
+  another — nothing", with the execute-grant recipe for action buttons.
+
+## What is not covered (findings)
+
+1. **DESCRIBE does not print module-role visibility.** One portal page had 19 role-locked widgets; DESCRIBE
+   printed none of them (nor a hidden "show page" action behind 9 image widgets). A page restated from that
+   DESCRIBE builds clean and shows every widget to every role.
+2. **A drafted restatement said "the snippet has no visibility rules".** It restated a side-menu snippet
+   from DESCRIBE (navigation-list items have no names, so one item cannot be dropped alone). A BSON audit
+   found 13 role-locked items. Running the draft would have exposed all of them, with a clean build.
+3. **DESCRIBE does not print layout-grid row visibility.** Two form pages had nine detail sections shown
+   by type through row visibility; a snippet had 56 row-level "show only when it has a value" rules. None
+   appear in DESCRIBE. The drafters re-wrote them as container `Visible:` (which DESCRIBE does print and
+   mxcli does write); an audit confirmed every rule was carried over.
+4. **Tab-page `Visible:` and `CaptionParams` are accepted and not written** (see the learned-entries note).
+   Found only by reading the unit back after exec.
+
+So "copy the page from DESCRIBE, edit, `create or replace`" is silently lossy on any app built in Studio Pro.
+
+## Proposed STOP row (learned-mdl-preflight.md)
+
+| # | Operation | Why STOP | Do instead |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| new | Restate an existing page, snippet or layout from `describe` output (`create or replace`, or `alter … replace` of a container) | DESCRIBE omits module-role visibility, layout-grid row/column visibility and legacy-widget internals; check, exec and mxbuild all pass while the rules vanish | Run the visibility scan (below) on the unit first. Zero role locks and zero row rules: go. Otherwise rewrite each rule as container `Visible:` or flow access, or leave the page to `alter page` / Studio Pro |
+
+Probe that falsifies it: in Studio Pro, set one widget visible to one module role and one layout row
+visible on an attribute; `describe page`; grep the output for the role name and the attribute. Today
+(v0.25.0): 0 hits for both.
+
+## The kit (each part was done by hand in the field; none is a toolkit file yet)
+
+1. **BSON visibility scan, per document.** Decode each page/snippet/layout unit under `mprcontents/`
+   (the toolkit's `project-bin/mxunit_bson.py` codec is enough) and count (a) any
+   `ConditionalVisibilitySettings` whose `ModuleRoles` list is non-empty, (b) any
+   `ConditionalVisibilitySettings` on a `Forms$LayoutGridRow` or `Forms$LayoutGridColumn`. Report per
+   document: widget name, kind, roles or attribute. The field scans were inline one-offs, not a saved
+   script; a shipped version needs its own fixture.
+2. **Non-writable count, per document.** `describe` every page, snippet and layout in the app's own
+   modules (Marketplace modules excluded) and count `-- NOT re-executable` lines, grouped by the BSON
+   type in the comment. Field result: `Forms$DropDown` 29, `Forms$ReferenceSelector` 27,
+   `Forms$DataGrid` 16, sign-in widgets 4, `Forms$TemplateGrid` 1, `Forms$ImageUploader` 1,
+   `Forms$SidebarToggleButton` 1.
+3. **Rebuild brief per document.** Inventory first (DESCRIBE plus the scan), then each widget marked
+   KEEP / CUT / MOVED / NEW against the wireframe, then the restatement. Replacements used:
+   drop-down → `combobox` on the enumeration; reference selector → `combobox` on the association (a
+   microflow data source when the filter needs the context object); old data grid → Data grid 2;
+   template grid → `listview`; image uploader → File Uploader in files mode plus a `dynamicimage`;
+   role-only visibility → a per-viewer flag from a data-source microflow, or flow access (Mendix hides a
+   button whose flow the user cannot run). The restating script becomes the document's single owner;
+   older `alter page` blocks on it are marked superseded (compare #269).
+4. **Post-exec read-back.** After each exec: DESCRIBE again (0 `NOT re-executable`), rerun the scan
+   (0 role locks unless intended), and grep the unit for every `Visible:` / `CaptionParams` the script
+   wrote. Item 4 above was caught only this way.
+
+Cost, for scale: six drafting agents in parallel; one gated exec per document (about 5–10 minutes each
+with mxbuild and lint), serial because there is one writer to the `.mpr`.
+
+Upstream asks (mxcli), for the maintainer to file or link: print module-role and row/column visibility in
+DESCRIBE (or at least a `-- role-based visibility not shown (N roles)` comment), accept it on write, give
+navigation-list items stable names, and a legacy-widget migration (`DataGrid` → Data grid 2,
+`ReferenceSelector`/`DropDown` → combobox) behind a dry run.

+# exec.sh keeps an MDL write when mxbuild crashes after it, and the next exec runs on an unloadable model
+
+**From:** a field project (anonymised) — an existing Mendix app being changed with mxcli + this toolkit
+**Date:** 2026-10-13
+**Kind:** bug
+**Field evidence:** the project's BUILD-LOG shows two "gate could not run" rows 46 s apart: the
+script that made the model unloadable, then the next script, which exec.sh accepted and ran on top
+of it. Mendix 11.14.0 Beta (Classic client), mxcli v0.25.0, toolkit commit c1efcb3 (`project-bin/exec.sh`
+is byte-identical on master 0c62f6f, blob a03adec).
+**Proposed target:** `project-bin/exec.sh` (gate branch "mxbuild failed to run" and the pre-flight
+"Baseline NOT measured" branch); one line in `skills/iterative-build-loop.md`
+
+---
+
+## What happened (finding, reproduced once in the field)
+
+A page script set a data view's data source to a two-hop association path in its full form
+(`$Parent/MyModule.A_B/MyModule.B/MyModule.B_C/MyModule.C`). `mxcli check` passed. After the
+exec, the mxbuild loader itself crashed instead of reporting CE errors:
+
+```
+An error occurred when trying to set the 'DestinationEntity' property of a Entity ref step in a Page.
+```
+
+exec.sh printed:
+
+```
+  ✗ mxbuild failed to run (exit 1) — gate could not verify the model.
+  → Snapshot preserved. Open in SP to verify manually before proceeding.
+```
+
+and kept the write. It did exit 1 and cleared the verification stamp (good), but the agent driving
+the build ran the next script. exec.sh's pre-flight printed `⚠  Baseline NOT measured: mxbuild exited 1
+without checking the model.`, carried on, applied the next script, and hit the same crash.
+
+BUILD-LOG rows, verbatim except the script names:
+
+```
+| 2026-10-13T12:26:18 | `25g-PageA-rebuild.mdl` | fail | ❌ gate failed | 5 error(s): CE1613 — script rolled back · approval: auto (PROJECT.md) |
+| 2026-10-13T12:28:46 | `25g-PageA-rebuild.mdl` | fail | ❌ gate could not run | mxbuild exit 1 · approval: auto (PROJECT.md) |
+| 2026-10-13T12:29:32 | `25h-SnippetB-rebuild.mdl` | fail | ❌ gate could not run | mxbuild exit 1 · approval: auto (PROJECT.md) |
+```
+
+Recovery: `./bin/restore-mpr.sh <full path to the snapshot taken before 25g>` then
+`./bin/verify-model.sh` (0 errors). The 25h row had to be re-run afterwards.
+
+## Why it matters
+
+- The header comment of exec.sh says an unverified gate is rolled back **for `--patch` only**. That is
+  true and deliberate, but for MDL the "kept" case was designed for "mxbuild could not start"
+  (wrong version, no JDK). Here mxbuild started, ran on the baseline cleanly a minute earlier, and
+  crashed only on the written model. That is a property of the write, not of the machine.
+- The next exec has no way to tell the two apart: "Baseline NOT measured" is a warning, not a refusal.
+  So in an unattended chain the damage compounds: every following script is written onto a model
+  nothing can load, and each one gets its own snapshot of the broken state.
+
+## Proposed fix (hypothesis, not built)
+
+1. **Restore when mxbuild ran clean on the baseline but cannot run after the write.** exec.sh already
+   has both facts: the pre-flight measured a baseline (`BASE_KNOWN=1`) and the post-exec run exits
+   non-zero with no errors file. In that case, call `restore_snapshot` exactly as the `--patch` path
+   does, and log `↩ rolled back: mxbuild crashed on the written model`. Keep today's behaviour when the
+   baseline itself was not measured (that is the real "machine cannot build" case).
+2. **Refuse a write when the baseline cannot be measured** and the last BUILD-LOG row for this model
+   is `gate could not run`, with one STOP line naming `bin/restore-mpr.sh` and the snapshot to restore.
+   `ALLOW_UNVERIFIED=1` stays the explicit override.
+3. Reword the kept-write message: "Open in SP to verify" is not something an agent can do. Something
+   like `STOP: the model may not load. Restore with ./bin/restore-mpr.sh <snapshot path>` is actionable.
+
+Probe that would falsify the claim (for the retest fixture): a fake mxbuild that exits 0 on the
+baseline and exits 1 with no errors file after the exec; today exec.sh exits 1 and leaves the
+written model in place; after the fix the model on disk equals the snapshot.
+
+Related: `--patch` already restores on an unverified gate (header lines 25–29); PR #304 touches the
+same file (per-project lock) but not this branch.

+# Learned entries from a legacy-widget rebuild: File Uploader image mode, native-mapped keywords, tab pages, XPath comparands, multi-hop data sources
+
+**From:** a field project (anonymised)
+**Date:** 2026-10-13
+**Kind:** learning
+**Field evidence:** each entry below was hit while restating 34 pages of an existing app, through
+`bin/exec.sh` (mxbuild delta gate) on mxcli v0.25.0, Mendix 11.14.0 Beta, Classic (Dojo) client,
+toolkit c1efcb3. Error texts are verbatim; module/entity names are genericised.
+**Proposed target:** per entry below (`skills/learned-file-upload-widget.md`,
+`skills/learned-mdl-cannot-express.md`, `skills/learned-page-patterns.md`, `bug-logs/mxcli-bugs.md`)
+
+---
+
+## 1. File Uploader: image mode fails the build; files mode against a `System.Image` subtype works
+
+Target: `skills/learned-file-upload-widget.md` §7 ("Image mode … was not tested").
+Status: files mode is ALREADY covered there (PR #139); this adds image mode and the image-preview pattern.
+
+```sql
+fileuploader upPictures (
+  uploadMode: 'images',
+  associatedImages: association $currentObject/MyModule.Picture_Asset,
+  readOnlyMode: true,
+  enableCustomButtons: false
+)
+```
+
+`mxcli check` passed. mxbuild: `CE0463 The definition of this widget has changed.` on
+`File uploader upPictures`; the gate rolled back (rollback verified by DESCRIBE). The same widget with
+`uploadMode: 'files'` builds clean (finding).
+
+What built clean instead (finding, mxbuild 0 errors): uploads in **files** mode against an entity that
+extends `System.Image` (which extends `FileDocument`), with a separate `dynamicimage` preview beside it;
+read-only picture lists as a `listview` whose template holds a `dynamicimage`.
+
+Also stale: `skills/learned-mdl-cannot-express.md` row 1 still says "A file upload control — nothing …
+⛔ not buildable", which contradicts `learned-file-upload-widget.md`. Suggest pointing that row at the
+File Uploader skill.
+
+Related (finding): the installed FileDropper widget's definition lists `dataFileEntity` and
+`dataContextAssociation` as known properties with no mapping; `check` accepts them, exec does not write
+them, and mxbuild then fails. Upstream ask: refuse unmapped definition properties with MDL-WIDGET07.
+
+## 2. `radiobuttons` and `image` can resolve to NATIVE mobile widgets on a web page
+
+Target: `skills/learned-page-patterns.md` (or the widgets section of `learned-mdl-cannot-express.md`).
+Status: NEW (no toolkit mention).
+
+In this project `DESCRIBE WIDGET TYPE radiobuttons` resolves to `com.mendix.widget.native.radiobuttons`,
+and `check` warns MDL-WIDGET10 that the label is dropped. The project's `image.def.json` maps `image` to
+`com.mendix.widget.native.image.Image`; a probe wrote `image` with no properties. DESCRIBE prints existing
+**web** radio groups with the same `radiobuttons` keyword, so re-running DESCRIBE output writes a native
+widget into a web page (finding for the resolution and the warning; the radiobuttons case was not taken
+through mxbuild).
+
+Rule used: Boolean → `checkbox`, enumeration → `combobox`, images → `dynamicimage`. Before relying on a
+keyword in an existing app, run `DESCRIBE WIDGET TYPE <keyword>` and check the id is a `web` widget.
+
+## 3. Tab pages: `CaptionParams` and `Visible:` pass every gate and are not written
+
+Target: `bug-logs/mxcli-bugs.md` as `## BUG-DRAFT-tabpage-captionparams-visible-dropped:`, plus a row in
+`learned-mdl-cannot-express.md` next to the existing "count badge on a tab" row.
+Status: NEW. (The existing row covers `Badge:`, which `check` refuses; these two are accepted.)
+
+```sql
+tabpage tpDue (Caption: 'Due today or earlier · {1}', CaptionParams: ({1} = DueCount)) { … }
+tabpage tpOther (Caption: 'Unassigned · {1}', Visible: $currentObject/ShowOtherTab) { … }
+```
+
+`check`, exec and mxbuild all passed, with no MDL-WIDGET07. The stored caption is literal text (the tab
+reads `· {1}`), and the tab page has no visibility setting: `ShowOtherTab` occurs 0 times in the unit.
+Found by a BSON read-back after exec (finding).
+
+Rule: no dynamic captions and no visibility on tab pages; put the count in a line inside the tab, and
+put anything conditional in a container with `Visible:` (container visibility is written correctly).
+
+## 4. DESCRIBE omits module-role visibility and layout-grid row visibility
+
+Target and detail: see the inbox note "Durable rebuild of legacy-widget pages" (same date). Listed
+here so triage sees it among the learned entries. Status: PARTLY (role visibility is known to be
+unwritable; that DESCRIBE also hides it is not recorded).
+
+## 5. Page XPath with a `$currentObject/<association>` comparand → CE0161 (BUG-39 on widgets)
+
+Target: `bug-logs/mxcli-bugs.md` BUG-39 (add a confirmation), `learned-page-patterns.md`.
+Status: PARTLY. BUG-39 records it for microflow retrieves only.
+
+```sql
+combobox cbLevel2 (
+  Attribute: Helper_Level2,
+  DataSource: database from "MyModule"."Level2"
+    where [MyModule.Level2_Level1 = $currentObject/MyModule.Helper_Level1]
+)
+```
+
+`check --references` passed; mxbuild: 3 × `CE0161 Error(s) in XPath constraint`, one per cascading combo
+box; rolled back (finding). Studio Pro accepts the same constraint.
+
+Workaround that built: each combo box takes its options from a microflow data source that retrieves the
+parent into a variable and filters on it.
+
+## 6. Two-hop association data source: neither path form is writable → use a microflow data source
+
+Target: `learned-page-patterns.md` (next to the BUG-04 multi-hop ContentParams section), and
+`bug-logs/mxcli-bugs.md` as `## BUG-DRAFT-two-hop-datasource-path:`.
+Status: NEW. BUG-20 (cross-module traversal writing a null `DestinationEntityId`) was fixed in v0.17.0;
+this is a same-module, two-hop path on v0.25.0.
+
+Short form, exactly as DESCRIBE prints it:
+
+```sql
+DataSource: $Parent/MyModule.A_B/MyModule.B_C
+```
+
+mxcli stored the last segment as an entity:
+`CE1613 The selected entity 'MyModule.B_C' no longer exists.` (5 errors); rolled back.
+
+Full form:
+
+```sql
+DataSource: $Parent/MyModule.A_B/MyModule.B/MyModule.B_C/MyModule.C
+```
+
+`check` passed; the mxbuild loader crashed:
+`An error occurred when trying to set the 'DestinationEntity' property of a Entity ref step in a Page.`
+(This crash is what exposed the exec.sh gap in the separate inbox note.)
+
+So DESCRIBE output containing such a path is not re-executable. Rule: no multi-hop association path as a
+data-view source; use a microflow data source that retrieves over each association in turn (built clean).
+
+## Not included here
+
+Other cases from the same run (Data grid 2 custom-content column losing its Attribute; XPath through a
+reverse association needing read access mxbuild does not check; names `check --references` does not
+validate) are upstream mxcli material and are left for a separate note.

+# exec.sh --patch: deleting a Unit row is refused by `mxcli fix hashes --repair` (ORPHAN file); rename-then-drop is the route that works
+
+**From:** a field project (anonymised)
+**Date:** 2026-10-12
+**Kind:** learning
+**Field evidence:** two pages with the same qualified name (a live one and an excluded, archived copy in
+another folder). mxcli v0.25.0, Mendix 11.14.0 Beta, MPR v2, toolkit c1efcb3. The failed patch was
+rolled back by exec.sh; the second route built at 0 errors.
+**Proposed target:** `skills/learned-mdl-preflight.md` (a workaround row) or `skills/learned-mdl-cannot-express.md`;
+an upstream mxcli ask
+
+---
+
+## Situation
+
+`MyModule.Detail` existed twice: the live page and an archived copy (excluded from the project) with
+the same name in `Archive/Pages`. mxcli addresses documents by qualified name only, and different
+commands resolved the name to different copies: `DESCRIBE PAGE` found the live one, `SHOW ACCESS ON PAGE`
+the archived one, so a `grant view` by name landed on the archived copy. There is no `drop page … in
+folder '…'` and no drop by unit id.
+
+## Route 1, refused (finding)
+
+A gated patch through `./bin/exec.sh --patch` deleted the archived page's row from the `.mpr` `Unit`
+table and left its `.mxunit` file on disk (file removal being left to the owner). The patch's
+`mxcli fix hashes --repair` step then reported the file as **ORPHAN** (present on disk, not indexed)
+and failed; exec.sh restored the snapshot. Afterwards both pages were present and 3161 units verified.
+
+## Route 2, worked (finding)
+
+1. A gated patch renamed only the archived unit's top-level `Name` to `Detail_Archived`, after a
+   byte-identical decode/encode round-trip check of that unit. mxbuild stayed at 0 errors.
+2. Then plain MDL, through exec.sh: `drop page if exists "MyModule"."Detail_Archived";`
+
+## Rule proposed
+
+To remove one of two same-named documents: rename it by patch, then drop it by MDL. Never delete a
+`Unit` row by hand; `fix hashes --repair` treats the leftover file as an orphan and the gate rolls back.
+
+Ask for upstream mxcli: warn when a qualified name resolves to more than one document, make every
+command resolve it the same way, and add `drop page … in folder '…'` or a drop by unit id.
+
+Related, not the same: #294 (a shared patch helper) and #295 (adopt `mxcli fix hashes` in `--patch`).

+# `mxcli run --local --test-endpoint` stopped by a signal leaves AfterStartupMicroflow on the injected flow (second field case for #244, and the toolkit-side half)
+
+**From:** a field project (anonymised)
+**Date:** 2026-10-13
+**Kind:** bug
+**Field evidence:** an agent stopped a running `mxcli run --local --test-endpoint` (a background-task
+stop, so a signal, not a clean exit) to restart the app. Later a clean-up removed the injected
+`MxTest` module but not the setting; exec.sh's pre-flight then reported the model "ALREADY has 1 error"
+(CE1613), and the next app start recursed with a StackOverflowError in `MxTest.RegisterEndpoint`.
+mxcli v0.25.0, Mendix 11.14.0 Beta, toolkit c1efcb3.
+**Proposed target:** upstream mxcli for the root cause (already logged here as #244, closed 2026-10-14 by #322 (toolkit refusal); the upstream root cause remains); in the
+toolkit, `skills/testing-shape.md` (the `--test-endpoint` paragraph) and an exec.sh pre-flight hint
+
+**Currency check:** 2026-10-16 against master d1cbd41: partly stale. exec.sh's pre-flight now refuses on a leftover injected setting and prints the `ALTER SETTINGS` repair (`_common.sh`), so the exec.sh hint half is done. Still open: the upstream root cause behind #244 closed 2026-10-14 by #322 (toolkit refusal); the upstream root cause remains, and `skills/testing-shape.md` does not say that a stop by signal skips the restore.
+---
+
+## What is already covered
+
+- #244 (closed 2026-10-14 by #322 (toolkit refusal); the upstream root cause remains) describes the same family on mxcli v0.25.0 / Mendix 11.15.0: the wrapper chains the
+  "current" after-startup flow, which is already `MxTest.RegisterEndpoint`, so it calls itself. It
+  asks upstream to restore on interrupt and to refuse a self-wrap.
+- `skills/testing-shape.md` says `--test-endpoint` writes into the working model while the app runs and
+  that "a clean stop prints 'test endpoint removed; project restored'". It does not say that a stop by
+  signal skips that restore.
+
+## What this case adds
+
+1. **Trigger is a signal stop of `run --test-endpoint` itself**, not an interrupted `mxcli test` run.
+   Agents routinely stop background tasks this way to restart an app.
+2. **A partial clean-up makes it worse.** Removing the `MxTest` module afterwards (by hand or by a later
+   cleanup) leaves `AfterStartupMicroflow` pointing at a flow that no longer exists: CE1613 at build,
+   which exec.sh's delta gate then carries as a "pre-existing" error on every later script. Re-creating
+   it by starting with `--test-endpoint` again gives the self-recursion from #244.
+3. **The repair that worked**, run through `bin/exec.sh` (an `ALTER SETTINGS`, said in chat):
+
+   ```sql
+   mdl 1;
+   alter settings runtime (AfterStartupMicroflow: 'MyModule.ASU_Startup');
+   ```
+
+   mxbuild went back to 0 errors; the app then started normally.
+
+## Proposed toolkit changes (hypothesis, not built)
+
+- `testing-shape.md`: add "Stop `run --test-endpoint` with Ctrl+C in its own terminal or let it exit;
+  a kill or task stop skips the restore. Afterwards `git status` on the model must be empty; if the
+  Settings unit is still modified, restore it from git (or with the `alter settings runtime` line
+  above) before any exec." Run build-time apps without `--test-endpoint` (the skill already says so).
+- `exec.sh` pre-flight: when the baseline holds CE1613 on the project Settings, or `describe settings`
+  shows `AfterStartupMicroflow` starting with `MxTest.`, print one line naming the cause and the repair,
+  instead of only "Model ALREADY has 1 error(s)".
+- Upstream (#244): restore the original after-startup on SIGTERM/SIGINT too, and refuse to wrap an
+  after-startup that is already `MxTest.RegisterEndpoint`.
+
+Probe: start `mxcli run --local --test-endpoint` on a scratch copy, stop it with `kill -TERM <pid>`,
+then `describe settings`. Today (v0.25.0): after-startup is still `MxTest.RegisterEndpoint`.

+- learn(multilingual-app): **a second language is four decisions the translations never see — source language, enabled languages, the user's starting language, and a switch a normal role can use.** New `skills/learned-multilingual-app.md` (routed on demand, stages 3/5/6, architect, mdl + review). Field run 2026-10-09 (Mendix 11.15.0, mxcli v0.25.0, an app authored in Spanish gaining ES + PT): 418 strings per language written correctly, and still the language picker raised an error, showed a blank label and changed nothing, with check, exec.sh and lint green. Causes: captions authored under the default `en_US` (so `en_US` is the authored language); demo users on that hidden source language; the Marketplace LanguageSelector writing `System.User_Language` from the browser, which this project's non-admin role could not, with no grant route found (mxcli `check` passes the grant, `exec` refuses it; Studio Pro does not offer the member, so the first fix — a Studio Pro hand step — was impossible; a probe on the `System.User` module role now comes first); `login.html` outside the translation system. Recipe: a microflow sets `$currentUser`'s language, a nanoflow reloads, CSS highlights from `<html lang>`; seeded users start in a visible language. `learned-mdl-cannot-express.md` gains the LanguageSelector row. — CarlesZ
 - process(inbox): **five field notes from an existing-app legacy-widget rebuild** — exec.sh keeps an MDL write when mxbuild crashes on it and the next exec runs on "Baseline NOT measured"; a signal stop of `run --test-endpoint` leaves AfterStartupMicroflow on `MxTest.RegisterEndpoint` (second field case for #244); Unit-row delete refused as ORPHAN, rename-then-drop works; a durable-rebuild kit with a "restate from DESCRIBE" STOP row (DESCRIBE omits module-role and layout-row visibility: 97 role locks in 16 documents, none shown); learned entries for File Uploader image mode (CE0463), native-mapped `radiobuttons`/`image`, tab-page `CaptionParams`/`Visible:` silently dropped, BUG-39 on widget XPath, and two-hop data-source paths. Three further notes (restore-mpr usage, build-plan-status flag order, another project's mxcli test blocking exec.sh) were dropped because master already fixes them. Mendix 11.14.0 Beta, mxcli v0.25.0, toolkit c1efcb3 — AlvinnYeo
 - fix(build-plan-status): --refresh keeps an existing build-plan.json current, so a day of building no longer reads as 0 built — MendixMau
 - learn(unit-test): the unit-test skill names the per-flow `Unit flows:` list next to `Unit modules:`, so whether a flow gets a test reads the same in both places (follow-up to #435) — MendixMau

+# A second language — the four decisions that decide whether a user ever sees the translations
+
+**Applies to:** any mxcli project.
+**Purpose:** adding a language to a Mendix app built with MDL: which language is the source, which
+are enabled, which one a user starts in, and a language switch that works for a non-admin role.
+Read it before the first translation script, and the moment a language picker errors, shows a blank
+label, or changes nothing.
+**Source:** field run 2026-10-09, a regulatory-QA demo app (Mendix 11.15.0, mxcli v0.25.0) authored
+in Spanish, with Spanish and Portuguese added as a change request. Writing the strings went cleanly
+(418 per language, `create or modify translations without marketplace`). Everything around them
+failed — four separate failures, each green on `mxcli check`, `exec.sh` (mxbuild 0 errors) and
+`mxcli lint`. Writing the strings themselves is mxcli's `translations` skill; this file is the rest.
+
+---
+
+## The one-line finding
+
+> The translations were correct the whole time. What the user saw was decided by the source
+> language, the user's language and the switch — none of which a gate looks at.
+
+| What the user saw | What was actually wrong | § |
+|---|---|---|
+| Picking a language raised an error and nothing changed | The Marketplace LanguageSelector writes `System.User_Language` from the browser; a normal role could not, and on this project no grant route was found | 4 |
+| The picker showed no text at all | The demo users were on `en_US`, which this project's picker configuration left out of its list | 3 |
+| There is no English to offer | Captions were authored in Spanish under the default `en_US` | 1 |
+| The login page stayed Spanish | `theme/web/login.html` is outside the translation system | 5 |
+
+---
+
+## 1. Decide the source language before the first caption
+
+Every caption is stored under the project's **default language**, whatever language it is written
+in. This app's captions were authored in Spanish under the default `en_US`, so `en_US` *is* Spanish
+— a user on `en_US` sees Spanish, and there is no English to offer without retranslating.
+
+Changing the default later moves no text and nothing warns (`mx check` is 0 errors either way).
+mxcli's own fix for a wrong source is to change `DefaultLanguageCode` and re-run the `create`
+statements that wrote the captions — workable while the scripts are the whole source of truth.
+So, at Stage 3, ask the user one question and record the answer in `PROJECT.md`: *which language
+are captions written in, and is that the language users get, or a hidden source?*
+
+When the authored language is not the default (the common case on a project that started from
+`mxcli new`): keep the default as a hidden source, enable the real languages, and give the authored
+language a translation that **copies its strings verbatim**. That same file is where Mendix's own
+English platform texts — validation messages, paging, confirmation buttons — are translated;
+otherwise they stay English in the Spanish UI.
+
+```sql
+mdl 1;
+alter settings language add or modify 'es_ES' ( CheckCompleteness: false );
+alter settings language add or modify 'pt_PT' ( CheckCompleteness: false );
+
+create or modify translations without marketplace for es_ES (
+  'Guardar' as 'Guardar',                              -- authored in Spanish: copied as is
+  'Go to first page' as 'Ir a la primera página'       -- Mendix platform text: translated
+);
+```
+
+Settings writes work from the CLI (`learned-mdl-preflight.md` STOP #2, retired 2026-09-30), so
+this needs no stop-and-ask. Keep the dictionary in one generator (a small script that writes one `.mdl` per language),
+not in hand-edited MDL: a renamed caption has to change in one place, and the scripts are
+re-applied after every caption change — this project re-applied both the same day it wrote them, after the switch's captions changed.
+
+**Probe:** `./mxcli -p <app>.mpr -c "DESCRIBE SETTINGS" | grep -E "DefaultLanguageCode|LANGUAGE add"`
+— the default and the enabled list. `describe translations for <code>` ends with
+`N source string(s), M translated, K to go`.
+
+## 2. Agree what is not translated
+
+Captions are model text; **data is not**. Product names, imported documents, generated rule
+explanations, certificate and CSV contents stay in the language they were stored in. Ask the user
+before translating (this project: *data stays Spanish*, recommended in chat, not contested) and
+record it — or the first review reports a half-translated app.
+
+## 3. Start users in a language they can see
+
+A user's language is `System.User_Language`. A user on no language or on the hidden source gets
+source text, and a picker whose list leaves that language out has nothing to show as the current
+one. That was this project's blank label — observed with this widget configuration: the list was
+`System.Language` filtered `[Code != 'en_US']`, so the demo users' own language was not in it.
+
+Set it where accounts are created; for seeded demo accounts, in after-startup, leaving a choice the
+user already made alone:
+
+```sql
+retrieve $Spanish from System.Language where Code = 'es_ES' first;
+retrieve $Demo from Administration.Account
+  where [Name = 'demo.user@example.com' and not(System.User_Language/System.Language[Code != 'en_US'])] first;
+if $Spanish != empty and $Demo != empty then
+  change $Demo (System.User_Language = $Spanish) commit without events;
+end if;
+```
+
+## 4. The language switch: do not use the Marketplace LanguageSelector for a normal role
+
+**What failed.** LanguageSelector v1.1.3 reads `System.User_Language` from the session user and
+commits a new value **from the browser**. For this project's non-admin role the pick raised an
+error and changed nothing, and **on this project no grant route was found**:
+
+- **mxcli** — `grant read (User_Language) on entity Administration.Account …` *passes `check`*
+  and is refused by `exec`, verbatim (recorded 2026-10-09, v0.25.0):
+  `entity Administration.Account has no member(s) User_Language`. The qualified
+  `System.User_Language` does not parse there (`mismatched input '.' expecting {',', ')'}`).
+  This is deliberate in mxcli: its access-rule walk stops at `System.User`, so a platform member
+  listed in a rule on a specialization is CE0066.
+- **Studio Pro** — the first fix was written as a Studio Pro hand step (Account → access rule →
+  tick `User_Language`). The user tried it: **Studio Pro does not offer that member.** The hand
+  step was impossible, and a script had already shipped describing it.
+
+What is **not** established is that a normal user can never write their own `User_Language`: that
+member is governed by the System module's own access rules, which a user role receives through the
+`System.User` module role. So before replacing the widget, run one probe:
+
+- `./mxcli -p <app>.mpr -c 'DESCRIBE USER ROLE "<Role>"'` — does `ModuleRoles` include `System.User`?
+  (On this project it did, for both roles, and the pick still failed.)
+- Is the picker reading the session user (`System.User`) rather than a specialization such as
+  `Administration.Account`? This widget takes no user binding; it uses the session user.
+
+If both hold and the pick still fails, do not write the Account hand step and do not spend a session
+on the access rule. Replace the widget — the recipe below works either way.
+
+**What works.** A microflow applies no entity access, so it may set the signed-in user's own
+language; Mendix applies a language when the client loads, so the button reloads afterwards.
+
+```sql
+mdl 1;
+/** Sets the signed-in user's language to the System.Language with this code. Only touches the current user; ignores an unknown code. */
+create or modify microflow MyModule.SUB_SetLanguage ($Code: String)
+begin
+  retrieve $Language from System.Language where Code = $Code first;
+  if $Language != empty and $currentUser != empty then
+    change $currentUser (System.User_Language = $Language) commit;
+  end if;
+end;
+
+/** ES button: switch the user to Spanish, then reload so the language applies. */
+create or modify nanoflow MyModule.ACT_LanguageES ()
+begin
+  call microflow MyModule.SUB_SetLanguage(Code = 'es_ES');
+  call javascript action NanoflowCommons.Reload();
+end;
+
+grant execute on microflow MyModule.SUB_SetLanguage to MyModule.User;
+grant execute on nanoflow MyModule.ACT_LanguageES to MyModule.User;
+```
+
+One nanoflow per language, two buttons in the layout's top bar (`alter layout … { replace
+<selector> with { container … { actionbutton … } } }` swaps the widget in place). Needs
+NanoflowCommons for `Reload`. Label the buttons in their own words (`ES`, `PT`), not with
+`System.Language.Description`, which is whatever the runtime stored and is usually English.
+`mxcli lint` flags the nanoflow — CONV010, *"ACT_ microflows should only contain UI actions and
+sub-microflow calls"*, raised here on the JavaScript `Reload` call; accept it in the baseline with
+that reason, or name the nanoflow without the `ACT_` prefix.
+
+Highlight the active language from **`<html lang>`**, which Mendix writes from the user's language
+— no data read, so no access question at all:
+
+```scss
+html[lang^="es"] .lang-switch-es,
+html[lang^="pt"] .lang-switch-pt { background: var(--color-primary); color: var(--color-on-primary); }
+```
+
+**Probe:** in the running app, after switching, `document.documentElement.lang` starts with the new
+code. Measured here: `pt` after switching to `pt_PT`, with the menu reading *Histórico*.
+
+## 5. The login page is yours to translate
+
+`theme/web/login.html` is a static file: no Mendix translation reaches it and there is no user
+language before sign-in. This project gave it `data-i18n` keys, a small inline script swapping them
+and an `ES | PT` toggle remembered in `localStorage`. It does not set the user's language after
+sign-in — §3 and §4 do.
+
+## 6. Verify in the running app — per language, per role
+
+A green gate proves none of §1–§5. **Sign in as a non-admin user** — the §4 failure does not
+reproduce as an administrator — and for each enabled language:
+
+1. Switch; the page reloads in that language: menu, page titles, buttons, grid headers, and one
+   Mendix platform text (a validation message or the paging bar).
+2. The active button is highlighted (`<html lang>` changed).
+3. Sign out and in again: the choice persisted.
+4. A page with data shows the data in its stored language (§2).
+
+**Done means** 4 of 4 checks, for every enabled language × every user role, written down with a
+screenshot each (this project: 2 languages × 2 roles, the screenshots in its demo guides). A
+language showing source text everywhere is an enabled-language question first
+(`describe settings`), before anything is re-translated.

Subject: [PATCH 04/18] new(brd-report): process map at the top, open-questions
 folded in (#438)

Process map in the BRD report. Independent review r2: APPROVE.

Verdict: APPROVE

PR #438 re-review at 98f452fa (base release/v1.0). Earlier review: 438.md at 11cfe065 (CHANGES, 7 must-fix).
Checked in a detached worktree /tmp/rv438, now removed. Tests: test-process-map-field 52 ok, test-process-map 74 ok,
test-brd-report-process-map 73 ok, test-interview-gate 11, test-interview-mode 76, all 0 FAIL. (The tests live in
tests/wave2/; there is no tests/test-process-map*.sh.) check-portability clean (280 files). check-pr-discipline
origin/release/v1.0 clean. No client, brand or project names in the added lines.

## Earlier must-fix items

1. Map clipped on the right: FIXED. fit() now scales every board in embed mode (template `scalable = long || EMBED`), the frame gets a computed first height, the host ignores a height post under 80 px, and a new render check passes: `FIT:inside:905/970:zoom0.83`.
2. "Scroll sideways" hint on a scaled long process: FIXED. The hint is built per case: "scaled to fit" when zoom < 1, "split it in two" above 12 steps, "scroll sideways" only when it still overflows. The embed path gets its own hint, hidden unless it overflows.
3. Stage 0/1 gate with only sme-questions.md got no report: FIXED. brd-report counts collector questions when there are no BRDs and renders a questions-only page ("Open questions, stage N view"); exit 3 stays for no BRDs and no questions. Tests cover the gate at stage 1 writing the file, the question in it, the header, and the exit-3 case.
4. Migrate lost judged placements on a collision: FIXED. An old judged entry replaces a current derived one and prints a note. When both are judged and differ, the current one is kept and a note names the .bak. Test "the judged placement won" (judged P1-07).
5. Judged entries with no target: FIXED. anchorEntries leaves them out and lists them, and counts entries with no id. anchor now warns on a judged entry with empty targets and does not count it, so it ends up derived or unanchored, never silently "global".
6. Stale questions-report.sh in docs/pipeline-walks.html: FIXED (now bin/brd-report.sh).
7. Migrate tests: FIXED. New cases: old shape to targets (step/page/bucket/string target, compared as objects), the .bak to .bak.1 path, the collision, the empty-target and no-id entries, a second migrate that leaves the files byte-identical. Also the whole-app collapse above 8, --stage passthrough, and the CAUSE line for page names.

Nice-to-haves also done: the duplicate I6 line, .bak.N, write order (anchors file, then model key, then rename, each write atomic through tmp+rename), only the model key is patched, PAGE-MAP precedence matching the docs plus a warning for a row naming a missing file, ResizeObserver on wrap, "Questions shown: up to stage N" header, the CAC-3 line in checkpoint-architecture. Not done: a staleness FAIL for the embedded map in brd-report (fine as a follow-up).

## New must-fix items

None.

## Follow-ups (not blocking)

- Model key patch can hit the wrong key. process-map.js migrate replaces the FIRST `"anchors": "<string>"` anywhere in the model text. Reproduced: a model with `{"meta":{"anchors":"notes.txt"}, ..., "anchors":"design/old/a.json"}` gets meta rewritten, the top-level key still names the old file, which was just moved to .bak. The output still says "only that key was changed". The schema has the key only at top level, so normal models never hit this. Fix: after the replace, `JSON.parse(newText).anchors === want`, else fall back to the re-serialize branch.
- `"targets": "P1-02"` (a string, not an array) in an old file crashes migrate with a TypeError stack trace at process-map.js:89. Nothing is written, so no data is lost. Wrap a non-array value in an array, or die() with a clear message.
- Entries in the CURRENT anchors file with empty targets (an `anchor --json` skeleton pasted in but not filled) are dropped silently on migrate (haveE.noTarget/noId are never printed). anchor lists them as unanchored again, so nothing is lost, but print them for symmetry.
- brd-report runs open-questions.sh one extra time to count when there are no BRDs. Harmless.

 - **Logging an open question is half the job. Raising it is the other half** — see the Open-questions batch below. A question written to a BRD and never put in the chat is not "logged", it is buried.
-- **Read `interview-protocol.md` before raising anything.** Every question you hand over carries two named options and your recommendation; a bare question moves your analysis onto the user. Generate `docs/open-questions.html` with `bin/questions-report.sh` and give them the path.

 - `✋` gates (Stages 0 and 7) do not resolve to `ASSUMED` — they need an explicit `CONFIRMED` answer before the run proceeds.

-# questions-report.sh — render a project's open questions as a reviewable HTML page.
-#
-# WHY THIS EXISTS
-# ---------------
-# bin/open-questions.sh already produces a chat-ready batch. That solves "the agent has the
-# questions". It does not solve the two things the user actually reported missing:
-#
-#   1. There is no surface showing WHAT WAS FOUND — what got examined, what is still open,
-#      and which open items are blocking — that a human can read away from the terminal.
-#   2. Most questions arrive with no proposed answer. A question with no proposed answer is
-#      work handed back to the user. A question with two named options and a recommendation
-#      is a decision they can make in five seconds.
-#
-# This script renders (1), and marks every question that lacks (2) as a defect in the
-# generating stage rather than quietly presenting a bare question.
-#
-# Usage:
-#   bin/questions-report.sh <project-dir> [--stage N] [-o <output.html>] [--quiet]
-#
-# Default output: <project-dir>/docs/open-questions.html
-#
-# Exit codes: 0 = report written, nothing blocking. 1 = report written, blocking questions
-#             exist. 2 = usage/environment error. 3 = nothing was examined (NOT a clean
-#             result — same meaning as open-questions.sh).

+- **Stage 3.** `design/process-map.html` (the full map, with screens) sits beside the wireframes. `assemble-prototype.js` adds a "Process map" link to `design/prototype.html` whenever `design/process-model.json` exists, and the map's header has a "Wireframes" button back to the prototype. The progress report links to both.

@@ -75,18 +80,19 @@ Rules the validator enforces:
 
 - **Lanes**: `kind` is `role`, `system`, `scheduled` or `external`. One lane per role from the Stage-3 role model, one for the app, one per scheduled job or outside system that acts on its own.
 - **Steps**: `kind` is `task` (a person on a screen; needs `page` once wireframes exist), `system` (the app does it, no screen), `decision` (needs two or more `next` outcomes, each with a `label`) or `end`. Default: `task` when `page` is set or the lane is a `role` lane, else `system`.
-- **page** resolves against the wireframes by `data-mx-page` (`Module.Page`), else the short name or the filename. A page with no wireframe is an error; set `"wireframeMissing": "<reason>"` when that is a recorded decision, and it becomes a warning.
+- **page** resolves against the wireframes by `data-mx-page` (`Module.Page`), then `design/wireframes/PAGE-MAP.tsv` (short name, tab, file; for wireframes without `data-mx-page`), then the filename stem. The error names what was tried. A page with no wireframe is an error; set `"wireframeMissing": "<reason>"` when that is a recorded decision, and it becomes a warning.
 - **useCases** are `"<BRD id>:<use case id>"`. The part before the colon is the BRD's `id` field. When the use case ids carry their own prefix, it is `"F004:UC-F004-01"`. An unknown one is an error.
 - **next** may point into another process (the card shows "continues in"). A step that loops back draws a dashed edge over the top.
 - **col** is the column. It counts up by itself; set it only to line steps up (two lanes in the same column) or to leave a gap. Two steps in one lane and column is an error.
 - **actions**, **status**, **does** and **events** are what the reviewer reads as "what happens". Use microflow names in `actions`: they are also the strongest anchoring signal.
 - **questions** (optional): a consolidated questions file (look under the analysis questions folder; omit the key when the project keeps none), an array or `{ "questions": [...] }` with `cid`, `title`, `question`, `blocking`, `assumption`, `risk`, `askWho`, `sources: [{ "brd", "id" }]`. Without it, each BRD open question is its own item.
 - **register** (optional, default `PROJECT.md`): any table with a Decision and a Status column. Rows whose status says ASSUMED become decision items. Expect many of them to be build plan and environment decisions; most end in a global bucket.
-- **ignorePages** (optional): a list of wireframe pages (`Module.Page`, short name or filename) that are layout sketches, not screens. They need no step and do not trigger the "wireframe on no step" warning. A name that matches no wireframe warns.
+- **ignorePages** (optional): a list of wireframe pages (`Module.Page`, short name or filename) that are layout sketches, not screens. They need no step and do not trigger the "wireframe on no step" warning. A name that matches no wireframe warns. On an existing app the wireframe index and the navigation pages usually belong here.
+- **brdDirs** (optional): the folders that hold the `*.brd.json` files. Default search: `analysis/knowledge-base/brd`, `analysis/*/knowledge-base/brd`, `knowledge-base/brd`. A use case not found lists the folders searched; set `brdDirs` when yours is elsewhere.
 
 Write titles as plain verbs a business owner says: "Approve or reject?", not "ACT_Approve". Microflow names go in `actions`, behind the technical details click.

+Run `process-map.js validate` until it reports 0 errors. When most errors share one cause (BRD path or page names) it prints one `CAUSE` line with the fix first; apply that, then re-run. Read every warning; a wireframe on no step usually means a missing step.

 - Pin to the step where the answer changes what happens. Up to three targets.
 - Standard bucket names for global items, so the whole-app list stays short: `Build plan`, `Hosting and operations`, `Security`, `Data`, `Scope`, `Look and feel`, `App structure`. ASSUMED register rows about build, environment, security, data or scope usually land here.

+- Use a global bucket only for items about the whole app or the way of working (hosting, build plan, look and feel, app structure). Global is allowed and counted, never hidden; the map groups them by bucket and collapses each group, so use the standard names (39 globals on an existing app then read as seven short groups, not a wall).
 - `basis` is one plain sentence; the reviewer sees it as "Placed by review (...)".
 - The fingerprint ties the judgment to the item text. When the item is reworded, the judged entry is dropped with a warning and the item is unanchored again, so a stale placement never survives silently.
 
 Judged entries go into the `anchors` array of the anchors file, next to the derived ones. The skeletons from `anchor --json` already carry `anchoredBy: "judged"` and empty `targets`: fill `targets` and `basis` in place and keep `id`, `kind` and `fingerprint` (`text` can go).
 
+`anchor` prints `carried over: N judged from <file>`; a project whose model still points `anchors` at an old path runs `process-map.js migrate` once: it moves the entries to `design/question-anchors.json`, keeps the old file as `*.bak` and rewrites the model key.
+
 Re-run `anchor` until it reports `0 unanchored`. `anchor` exits 1 while items remain; that is expected, not an error. `validate --strict` fails on any unanchored item.

Subject: [PATCH 05/18] fix(process-map): migrate follow-ups from the #438
 review (#453)

Follow-up to #438 review. Review: APPROVE.

# PR 453 (process-map migrate follow-ups to #438 r2) review r1 (delta self-review)
Verdict: APPROVE
- Nested-key: regex result is kept only if JSON.parse(patched).anchors === want; otherwise full re-write. Output claim now matches what happened. Test with a nested meta.anchors look-alike plus a plain-model control.
- String targets: one line in anchorEntries wraps a non-array in a list; test checks it becomes one step target and rc 0.
- Unfilled current entries: listed with ids in the output; test names F001:Q77.
- 6 of 7 new checks fail on the pre-fix code (worker report). Field 59, process-map 74, brd-report 73, all 0 FAIL; portability and discipline clean.
- No behaviour change outside migrate; no names in the diff.

 ## Unreleased
 
+- fix(process-map): migrate no longer trusts a regex for the model key: it checks the top-level `anchors` changed and otherwise re-writes the model, and says so instead of claiming "only that key was changed"; a string `targets` in an old file counts as a one-item list instead of crashing; unfilled entries already in the current anchors file are listed, not dropped silently (follow-up to #438 review) — MendixMau
 - new(brd-report): the Stage 2 report opens with the pass-1 process map (drawn by `process-map.js build --embed`, not a copy) and lists requirements and open questions under it, each tied to its step; a click on a step filters the list, what no step covers stays under "whole app". `open-questions.html` and `bin/questions-report.sh` are retired: the gate and the interview hook write `analysis/brd-report.html`, and an old project's `docs/open-questions.html` is never an error, only pointed away from. Stage 3: the prototype links to the full map and the map links back — a business owner could not tell where in the work a question fits (field run, 2026-10-16) — MendixMau
 
 - learn(multilingual-app): **a second language is four decisions the translations never see — source language, enabled languages, the user's starting language, and a switch a normal role can use.** New `skills/learned-multilingual-app.md` (routed on demand, stages 3/5/6, architect, mdl + review). Field run 2026-10-09 (Mendix 11.15.0, mxcli v0.25.0, an app authored in Spanish gaining ES + PT): 418 strings per language written correctly, and still the language picker raised an error, showed a blank label and changed nothing, with check, exec.sh and lint green. Causes: captions authored under the default `en_US` (so `en_US` is the authored language); demo users on that hidden source language; the Marketplace LanguageSelector writing `System.User_Language` from the browser, which this project's non-admin role could not, with no grant route found (mxcli `check` passes the grant, `exec` refuses it; Studio Pro does not offer the member, so the first fix — a Studio Pro hand step — was impossible; a probe on the `System.User` module role now comes first); `login.html` outside the translation system. Recipe: a microflow sets `$currentUser`'s language, a nanoflow reloads, CSS highlights from `<html lang>`; seeded users start in a visible language. `learned-mdl-cannot-express.md` gains the LanguageSelector row. — CarlesZ

Subject: [PATCH 06/18] new(progress-report): replace build-plan.html with a
 progress report (#434)

Progress report. Independent review r6: APPROVE.

Verdict: APPROVE
# PR #434 progress report, round 6 review at 89772710 (base release/v1.0 32266faf; delta 0a908a37..89772710, one commit)
1. Gitignore the cache: met. init (grep on the exact line), doctor (check-ignore, same shape as .doctor-receipt/toolkit.env), sync-project (WIRED + .git + check-ignore, --dry-run prints "Would add" and writes nothing). New test-progress-report-gitignore.sh 6/0. My own runs: pristine git dir gets no .gitignore; wired dir with --dry-run gets none; two real syncs leave exactly 1 line.
2. Cache header carries realpath root and rules (share=0.25;calls=20); mismatch reads cold: met. F15 covers a cp -R copy (cold, lists no sessions), the original stays warm, a changed rules field rebuilds.
3. Cold skips recorded as "no" with mtime and size: met. PROGRESS_REPORT_SCAN_MAX_FILES override added. F16: cap 2, cold reads 2, warm reads <= 2, files past the cap stored as no.
4. Ledger decides the switch: met. stage_switch() drops the session exec.sh and build-skill candidates when switch_from_runs() returns a row; timed sign-off stays; mdlsource only without rows. F17 plus a no-ledger control.
Footer: met. "5 = a build skill" replaced by the ledger/sign-off rule, session signals only with no exec log rows.
Changed assertion 11:50 -> 12:00: intended, not weakened. Fixture has BUILD-LOG rows (first 12 Oct 10:00) and a timed sign-off 10 Oct 12:00; the session exec.sh at 11:50 is now ignored (item 4), so earliest of first row and timed sign-off = 12:00.

## Tests on the head (detached worktree)
test-progress-report 101/0, test-progress-report-field-fixes 101/0 (F1-F17), test-progress-report-gitignore 6/0, test-build-plan-json 70/0, test-build-plan-status-args 6/0 (both given the absolute build-plan-status.sh path).

## Author's claim about pre-existing failures: confirmed, PR makes nothing worse
test-bug12-sync: base 55/6, head 55/6, the same six FAILs (T0 pristine WRITTEN to, T0 false alarm exit 3, intake rewrite, second sync rewrote, duplicated CLAUDE.md, pointer-only CLAUDE.md). Normalized ok/FAIL lists are identical, and the T0 detail differs only in timestamps and worktree paths (no .gitignore write in T0).
test-doctor-gate-selftest: base 26/2, head 26/2, same two (case 7 no-mxbuild: NOT RUN expected).

## New must-fix
None.

## Notes (not blocking)
1. Tracked cache gives duplicate lines. If .claude/progress-report-sessions.txt was already committed or staged (possible on projects that ran an earlier PR head), `git check-ignore` reports tracked files as not ignored. Reproduced: sync-project then appends the block on every run (3 lines after 2 extra syncs) and counts a change each time. doctor has the same pre-existing flaw for .doctor-receipt/toolkit.env. Fix: `check-ignore -q --no-index`, and tell the user to `git rm --cached` the file.
2. doctor writes the line into any directory with .git, wired or not. This matches the existing receipt/toolkit.env lines, so it is not new behaviour.
3. Earlier r5 notes 1 (ancestor-slug folders not share-ruled) and 3 (no timing budget test) still stand.

 ## Unreleased
 
+- fix(progress-report): **round 6 of the review: the session cache is machine-local and tied to its project, the first cached run is not slower than a cold one, and the build ledger decides the Stage 4 to 5 switch.** (1) `.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` holds absolute session-log paths, so `init-project.sh`, `doctor.sh` and `sync-project.sh` now put `/.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` in the project's `.gitignore`, the way they do for the doctor receipt and `toolkit.env`. (2) The cache header records the project's real path and the attribution rules (25% of tool calls, 20 calls); a copied or moved project, or a changed threshold, reads it as cold, so a copy never lists the original's sessions. (3) Files skipped by the 300-file cap are recorded as `no`, so a cached run never reads more files than a cold one. (4) With rows in `metrics-ledger.tsv` (else BUILD-LOG) the switch comes from the ledger; an earlier exec.sh call or build skill in a session log is ignored, the timed sign-off rule stays, and the footer says how the switch is chosen. Tests: F15 to F17 in `test-progress-report-field-fixes.sh`, new `test-progress-report-gitignore.sh` — review of PR #434
+- fix(progress-report): **round 5 of the field test: "building now" marks the phase of the last successful build step (its mdlsource folder, else the script name matched to the plan, else the highest active phase; blocked steps and earlier amber rows do not move it); discovery of sessions from other folders counts only tool calls that operate on the project (at least 25% of a session's calls and at least 20, gaps over 30 minutes cut, sessions that run progress-report.py excluded, text mentions never count) and lists the sessions used in a collapsed element; a Stage 4 sign-off row with a date but no time puts the Stage 5 switch at the first build activity on or after that date (marked inferred) instead of midnight; the exec log is now the primary source for build activity: `.claude/loop/metrics-ledger.tsv` (written by exec.sh, UTC shown as local time) gives the Stage 5 build facts with or without a session log (runs, applied, failed, blocked, restored, exec time, wall span, runs per phase, latest model score, share of exec time lost to failed or restored runs), the last build step, the building-now phase and the Stage 4 to 5 switch, with BUILD-LOG and then session activity as fallbacks; docs/progress/TIME-LEDGER.md is an optional hand-written extra and its reader maps columns by each table's header.** Tests F10 (existing-project fixture) and F11 (older toolkit, then sync-project.sh) added. — MendixMau
+- fix(progress-report): **field-test round on two real projects: one source of truth for stage state, a plan read from build-plan.md when the JSON is stale, wider log discovery with a ledger fallback, and a Build progress section.** (1) PROJECT.md (the stage line and the Decisions sign-off rows) beats a gate-check page that is older than it: the stage line's `· manual: 5` tail no longer swallows the last passed stage, the counter always equals the list it sits beside ("6 of 8" for P,0,1,2,3,4, plus "N waived"), and a passed stage the page does not list shows an amber "Gate-check page is N days old, re-run gate-check". (2) The report never lists itself as a stage artifact, nor any file outside the project folder. (3) `build-plan.json` older than `build-plan.md` or than the newest `docs/BUILD-LOG.md` row is no longer trusted: row state is read from the md State column by prefix (`not built` first; `built (...)` and `done ...` are built; `partial` and `in progress` are partial; `not needed` rows are not counted) and the page says "plan JSON was stale, counted from build-plan.md". (4) With no log in the project's own folder, discovery also scans other `~/.claude/projects/*` folders (30 days, newest 300 files): a log counts when its cwd is the project or when the project path appears in it at least 5 times, in which case only the stretch from the first to the last mention (padded 30 min) is counted, and the page says so; with no log at all, `docs/progress/TIME-LEDGER.md`, `docs/BUILD-LOG.md` and `.claude/loop/metrics-ledger.tsv` feed a labelled ledger card, and the banner says how to pass `--session-log`. (5) The Stage 4 to 5 switch for time and tokens is the earliest evidenced of the Stage 4 sign-off row in PROJECT.md, the first `exec.sh` call and the build skill, so a stale gate page no longer puts all build work in Stage 4. (6) The build detail section is now "Build progress", linked from the Stage 5 card: stacked built / partial / not built bars per phase, the headline "N of M rows built, K partial", the phase being built now marked, and the last build step with how long ago it ran. Test: `tests/wave2/test-progress-report-field-fixes.sh` (39 checks). — MendixMau
+- new(progress-report): **`architecture/progress-report.html` replaces `architecture/build-plan.html`, and adds time, token and tips views from the session log.** `build-plan-status.sh --html` now writes one self-contained page: every phase and the built versus proven views the old page had, stages P to 6 with artifact links, a progress bar and stage nav, and, when a Claude Code log for the project folder exists, time per stage, sub-agent use, context size, an estimated token cost (rates in an optional file, placeholder defaults, labelled as estimates), a Run health strip and a speed panel. Tips and tricks sit in a narrow side column (after the title, headline and stage cards on a phone), in one collapsed box per theme (Context, Tokens and cost, Speed, Health, Sub-agents), empty themes hidden. Only patterns with a concrete action in the project are shown, ranked by time or tokens lost, each with what was seen, why it matters and one fix. Severity is calm: red only for a key script (doctor, gate-check, exec, tests) failing every run with at least 3 runs, or a hang over 30 minutes; context is never red (a Context tip is amber when the window was reached or a compaction happened). Required gates and builds on the inherent list never produce a hang or slow tip and never change Run health; tips that lose under a minute are dropped; tips name real scripts or commands only. Costs that come from how the toolkit and mxcli work (build time, required gates and reviews, waiting on builds or the user, the mandated review model) are flagged inherent in the script and never shown. The context window is 1M only when the log records it (a `[1m]` model id or a context-1m beta); otherwise 200k, and a context above 200k with auto compactions caps the window at the compaction point and is labelled inferred. Never a percentage over 100. Every threshold sits in one block at the top of `project-bin/progress-report.py`, and the footer records the project folder and session log paths used. Only numbers, stage names, script names, file paths and sub-agent short descriptions are read from the log, never message text. Without a log the project sections render and the page says time and token data are unavailable. The page refreshes after every `exec.sh` slice and reloads itself every 30 s only while the build is active. PROJECT.md `Progress report: off | ask | auto` (default `ask`) controls it, and `--open` opens it. An existing `build-plan.html` is never deleted, and gate-check and status.sh still accept it. `--json` is unchanged. Skill words fell by about 100 (Step 10 and step 16 shortened). Tests: `tests/wave2/test-progress-report.sh`, `test-build-plan-json.sh`, `test-surface-column.sh`. — MendixMau
 - fix(process-map): migrate no longer trusts a regex for the model key: it checks the top-level `anchors` changed and otherwise re-writes the model, and says so instead of claiming "only that key was changed"; a string `targets` in an old file counts as a one-item list instead of crashing; unfilled entries already in the current anchors file are listed, not dropped silently (follow-up to #438 review) — MendixMau
 - new(brd-report): the Stage 2 report opens with the pass-1 process map (drawn by `process-map.js build --embed`, not a copy) and lists requirements and open questions under it, each tied to its step; a click on a step filters the list, what no step covers stays under "whole app". `open-questions.html` and `bin/questions-report.sh` are retired: the gate and the interview hook write `analysis/brd-report.html`, and an old project's `docs/open-questions.html` is never an error, only pointed away from. Stage 3: the prototype links to the full map and the map links back — a business owner could not tell where in the work a question fits (field run, 2026-10-16) — MendixMau

+"""Progress report: one self-contained HTML page for a conversion project, stages P to 6.
+
+usage: progress-report.py PROJECT_DIR [--out FILE] [--toolkit DIR] [--rates FILE] [--fragment FILE]
+                         [--logs-dir DIR] [--session-log PATH ...] [--no-log]
+
+Called by project-bin/build-plan-status.sh (--html, --refresh, --open), which writes
+architecture/progress-report.html. It replaces the older architecture/build-plan.html.
+
+Reads, never writes, the project folder (PROJECT.md, index.html, architecture/build-plan.json),
+the toolkit artifact manifest (bin/lib/artifact-manifest.tsv) and, when present, the Claude Code
+session logs of this project on this machine (<config>/projects/<slug>/*.jsonl and the
+subagents/ folders). Without a session log the project-only sections render and the time and
+token sections say they are unavailable. Python 3 standard library only.
+
+Privacy: the logs are read for numbers (token counters, timestamps, tool names) and for sub-agent
+short descriptions. No prompt or message text is copied into the page.
+Every tunable lives in the CONFIG block below so the page is easy to change.

A confirmed decision with no build disposition is how scoped work silently vanishes (e.g. a CONFIRMED extra navigation profile, wireframe and all, that never got built).

A row whose State says built while its scripts are not all `done-` (or the reverse) is flagged on the page. The markdown remains the source of truth; the HTML is a derived *view* — never edited by hand. Write it once here with `project-bin/build-plan-status.sh --html`; after that it refreshes itself after every `exec.sh` run and every full `gate-check.sh` run (`--refresh`: never over a page that script did not write, no rewrite when only the timestamp would change). That script also reads `mdlsource/<phase>/` `done-` prefixes for phase progress and cross-references `verify-module.sh` summaries plus `docs/improvement-register.md` for a second, honestly-separate view of what's actually *proven* — a phase at 100% built with no module reviewed there is visible as built, not proven, rather than silently passing as "done." It doubles as the demo progress board. Keep it beside the markdown (`architecture/build-plan.html`). This mirrors the other Stage-3/4 HTML renders (`blueprint.html`, `workflow-definition.html`, `design-system.html`) — every primary architecture/design artifact gets a human-viewable HTML companion.

An older `build-plan.html` is left alone.

+# test-progress-report-field-fixes.sh: pin the field-test fixes to project-bin/progress-report.py found on two real
+# projects. Every name, path and number below is invented. The generator is run directly with --out outside the project.
+#
+#   F1  one source of truth for stage state: PROJECT.md (stage line + sign-off rows) beats a stale gate-check page;
+#       the card says "Gate-check page is N ... old, re-run gate-check"; "6 of 8" agrees with the list P,0,1,2,3,4
+#       (the "· manual: 5" tail of the stage line must not swallow the last stage).
+#   F2  the progress report never lists itself as a stage artifact (not even when --out is outside the project).
+#   F3  a build-plan.json older than build-plan.md is not trusted: rows are counted from the md State column by prefix
+#       ("not built" is not built, "built (...)" and "done ..." are built, "partial" is partial) and the page says so.
+#   F4  no log in the project's own slug: found in another slug when 25% of its tool calls and at least 20 operate on the
+#       project path, counted only between those calls; a session that merely mentions the project is ignored. With no log at
+#       all the time ledger and BUILD-LOG feed the page, labelled, and the banner says how to pass --session-log.
+#   F5  stage boundaries use the same truth: log events after the Stage 4 sign-off count toward Stage 5 even when the
+#       gate-check page is stale.
+#   F6  Build progress: stacked phase bars, headline "N of M rows built, K partial", the phase being built now is marked,
+#       last build step with time ago; the section is linked from the Stage 5 card; the report itself is never linked.
+#   F7  "building now" is the phase of the last build step (folder, script name, else highest active phase).
+#   F8  discovery counts tool calls on the project (25% and 20), never text mentions; progress-report.py sessions out.
+#   F9  a date-only Stage 4 sign-off puts the switch at the first build activity on or after the date, marked inferred.
+#   F10 an existing-project fixture: the metrics ledger (UTC) is the primary source of build activity, with no session log.
+#   F11 a project set up by an older toolkit and updated with bin/sync-project.sh renders and leaves build-plan.html alone.
+#   F12 the Stage 4 to 5 switch is one function: the windows table, the chart band and the sub-agent tables agree, and a
+#       sub-agent that names a plan phase and starts within 30 minutes before it counts to Stage 5.
+#   F15 the discovery cache records the project's real path and the attribution rules: a copied project, or a changed
+#       threshold, reads it as cold; the copy does not list the original's sessions.
+#   F16 files skipped by the 300-file cap are recorded as "no": a cached run never reads more files than the uncached one.
+#   F17 with exec log rows the Stage 4 to 5 switch follows the log; an earlier exec.sh call in the session log is ignored.

1. **"done" rows count as built (build-plan-status.sh).** Both `classify()` copies (the plan-table rollup at line 303 and the HTML tally at line 559) now use `startswith(("built", "done"))`, with "not built" still checked first. progress-report.py `classify_state` already treats `done` as built, so the two "done" readings now match. `**done** 2026-...` and `Done` both count in both parsers (probe run). `not done` does not match `done` in either.
2. **Future-stage placeholder FAIL shows PENDING (progress-report.py ~1475).** It only relabels when all of these hold: status is `FAIL`, the detail contains "placeholder", `info["current"]` is a known stage, and the stage index is strictly greater than the current one. The current stage and earlier stages keep FAIL. With an unknown current stage (no or unparseable PROJECT.md) nothing is relabelled, which is the safe default. Only two gate-check.sh FAIL messages contain "placeholder" (lines 827 and 835, both the `Confirmed by:` sign-off check), so a substantive failure on a later stage stays FAIL unless its detail happens to say "placeholder". The stage badge for a later stage is already "pending" (`stage_state` comes from PROJECT.md), so the sub line now agrees with the badge.
3. **Calm no-log line.** The orange `note-card` box is replaced by `<p class=nolog>`. The looked-in counts and the regenerate hint move into the `How this was measured` details. That block always exists when there is no log, so the line's pointer to it never dangles. `--no-log` drops the "Looked in" text and the regenerate hint. The ledger card still renders under the second `if not L:`.
4. **Test-moments wording.** Every change = "Gate check plus only the tests that touch the change" (impacted only). Build complete = "Everything, once". Before every later deploy = "Everything". Module done now names the per-flow unit tests chosen at CAC-5, listed in the module brief. That matches the rule (impacted-only per change, full run at build complete and before each deploy, unit-test choice at CAC-5) and the `Unit flows:` brief list from #417 and its follow-up.
5. **Prose and hygiene.** No em or en dashes in added prose. The only one is the CHANGELOG attribution separator ` — field review of the #434 report`, which follows the existing entry convention. No private or client names: the fixtures use Orders, Billing and Kickoff. No conflict markers. The CHANGELOG entry sits under Unreleased, is accurate and is credited, and check-pr-discipline is clean.

The new test against the base scripts (project-bin from release/v1.0): 12 of 20 fail. So the test pins the new behaviour. The 8 that pass on base are the pre-existing parts: report written, Stage 5 card count, Phase 2 count, and the `--no-log` "never claims it looked" checks. Discovery is already off under `--no-log`, which makes the new `and not args.no_log` guard defensive only.

## Nice-to-haves

1. **"One plan count" holds for `done`, not for the rest of the vocabulary.** progress-report.py also reads `complete`, `verified`, `proven` and `passed` as built, and `partial`, `in progress`, `started` and `wip` as partial. build-plan-status.sh reads all of these as unknown. That includes `partial` and `blocked`, which brd-to-build-plan.md line 333 lists as legal State values. Probe: one plan with rows `complete (...)`, `**done** ...` and `Done` gives "3 of 3 rows built" on the card. The plan header shows "2 built, 1 with a State cell this page cannot read" and the phase is labelled "unknown". This disagreement predates the PR, but the PR body promises the card, header and badge agree. Follow-up: share one vocabulary, or at least add `partial`/`blocked` to the sh classifier as non-built. Alternatively, reword the CHANGELOG to say "done rows" only.
2. **Narrow the PENDING relabel to `states[s] == "pending"`.** Today the relabel also applies to a later stage that PROJECT.md lists as passed, when the gate page is not stale. This happens when the current stage moves back during a change round. A real conflict, "passed but the sign-off is still a placeholder", would then read PENDING. Adding the state check costs one condition.
3. **Test gaps for item 2.** Add one test where a non-placeholder FAIL on a later stage stays FAIL, and one where an unknown current stage (no stage line) keeps FAIL.
4. **Module done wording is a little narrow.** Unit tests can also be switched on per module (`Unit modules:` in PROJECT.md, `Unit tests: yes` in the brief) or per project (`Unit tests default: yes`). "listed in the module brief" covers the per-flow default only. A shorter alternative: "plus the unit tests the CAC-5 test strategy selects for the module".
5. **Reading order.** The calm line renders after the collapsed details block, so the pointer "details in How this was measured" points upward. Consider writing the line first.
6. **Pre-existing, outside this PR's scope.** `build-plan-status.sh` called by a relative path (`bash project-bin/build-plan-status.sh <proj> --html`) says "progress-report.py is not next to this script". GEN is `$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/...`, which probably breaks after the script changes directory (cause not confirmed). An absolute path works.

 ## Unreleased
 
+- fix(progress-report): **polish on a fresh and an updated demo project: a "done <date>" plan row counts as built in the card, the plan header and the phase badge alike; a placeholder gate failure on a stage after the current one reads PENDING, not FAIL; the no-session-log notice is one calm line with the regenerate hint inside "How this was measured"; the test-moments table says unit tests run for the flows chosen at CAC-5, not "when switched on".** — field review of the #434 report
 - fix(progress-report): **round 6 of the review: the session cache is machine-local and tied to its project, the first cached run is not slower than a cold one, and the build ledger decides the Stage 4 to 5 switch.** (1) `.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` holds absolute session-log paths, so `init-project.sh`, `doctor.sh` and `sync-project.sh` now put `/.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` in the project's `.gitignore`, the way they do for the doctor receipt and `toolkit.env`. (2) The cache header records the project's real path and the attribution rules (25% of tool calls, 20 calls); a copied or moved project, or a changed threshold, reads it as cold, so a copy never lists the original's sessions. (3) Files skipped by the 300-file cap are recorded as `no`, so a cached run never reads more files than a cold one. (4) With rows in `metrics-ledger.tsv` (else BUILD-LOG) the switch comes from the ledger; an earlier exec.sh call or build skill in a session log is ignored, the timed sign-off rule stays, and the footer says how the switch is chosen. Tests: F15 to F17 in `test-progress-report-field-fixes.sh`, new `test-progress-report-gitignore.sh` — review of PR #434
 - fix(progress-report): **round 5 of the field test: "building now" marks the phase of the last successful build step (its mdlsource folder, else the script name matched to the plan, else the highest active phase; blocked steps and earlier amber rows do not move it); discovery of sessions from other folders counts only tool calls that operate on the project (at least 25% of a session's calls and at least 20, gaps over 30 minutes cut, sessions that run progress-report.py excluded, text mentions never count) and lists the sessions used in a collapsed element; a Stage 4 sign-off row with a date but no time puts the Stage 5 switch at the first build activity on or after that date (marked inferred) instead of midnight; the exec log is now the primary source for build activity: `.claude/loop/metrics-ledger.tsv` (written by exec.sh, UTC shown as local time) gives the Stage 5 build facts with or without a session log (runs, applied, failed, blocked, restored, exec time, wall span, runs per phase, latest model score, share of exec time lost to failed or restored runs), the last build step, the building-now phase and the Stage 4 to 5 switch, with BUILD-LOG and then session activity as fallbacks; docs/progress/TIME-LEDGER.md is an optional hand-written extra and its reader maps columns by each table's header.** Tests F10 (existing-project fixture) and F11 (older toolkit, then sync-project.sh) added. — MendixMau
 - fix(progress-report): **field-test round on two real projects: one source of truth for stage state, a plan read from build-plan.md when the JSON is stale, wider log discovery with a ledger fallback, and a Build progress section.** (1) PROJECT.md (the stage line and the Decisions sign-off rows) beats a gate-check page that is older than it: the stage line's `· manual: 5` tail no longer swallows the last passed stage, the counter always equals the list it sits beside ("6 of 8" for P,0,1,2,3,4, plus "N waived"), and a passed stage the page does not list shows an amber "Gate-check page is N days old, re-run gate-check". (2) The report never lists itself as a stage artifact, nor any file outside the project folder. (3) `build-plan.json` older than `build-plan.md` or than the newest `docs/BUILD-LOG.md` row is no longer trusted: row state is read from the md State column by prefix (`not built` first; `built (...)` and `done ...` are built; `partial` and `in progress` are partial; `not needed` rows are not counted) and the page says "plan JSON was stale, counted from build-plan.md". (4) With no log in the project's own folder, discovery also scans other `~/.claude/projects/*` folders (30 days, newest 300 files): a log counts when its cwd is the project or when the project path appears in it at least 5 times, in which case only the stretch from the first to the last mention (padded 30 min) is counted, and the page says so; with no log at all, `docs/progress/TIME-LEDGER.md`, `docs/BUILD-LOG.md` and `.claude/loop/metrics-ledger.tsv` feed a labelled ledger card, and the banner says how to pass `--session-log`. (5) The Stage 4 to 5 switch for time and tokens is the earliest evidenced of the Stage 4 sign-off row in PROJECT.md, the first `exec.sh` call and the build skill, so a stale gate page no longer puts all build work in Stage 4. (6) The build detail section is now "Build progress", linked from the Stage 5 card: stacked built / partial / not built bars per phase, the headline "N of M rows built, K partial", the phase being built now marked, and the last build step with how long ago it ran. Test: `tests/wave2/test-progress-report-field-fixes.sh` (39 checks). — MendixMau

+#
+#   P1  a build-plan.md row whose State is "done <date>" counts as built everywhere: the Stage 5 card
+#       ("N of M rows built"), the plan header ("N built"), the phase badge and the per-phase count agree, and
+#       nothing is reported as a State cell the page cannot read. "not built" is still checked first.
+#   P2  a gate-check placeholder failure on a stage AFTER the current one reads PENDING, not FAIL; the same failure
+#       on the current stage stays FAIL.
+#   P3  no session log: one calm line (not the orange box), the regenerate hint inside "How this was measured";
+#       with --no-log the page never claims it looked in folders or logs.

Subject: [PATCH 08/18] fix: v1.0 release review fixes (dashes, stale hook
 warning, worktree gitignore) (#455)

Opus review 455-r1 + self r2: APPROVE

# PR #455 review round 2 (self, small delta on Opus r1)

Verdict: APPROVE

Opus r1 (455-r1.md) approved everything except one must-fix: the em dash on bin/lib/skill-routing.tsv:164 is the
When-cell trigger separator that the agent stubs cut on, not prose. Removing it put the whole tail into three agent stubs.

Delta (5f512a02, cea8e85a):
- Separator restored on the multilingual row; bin/render-routing.sh re-run. README.md, ROUTING.md and the three agent
  tables are now identical to release/v1.0 (diff empty), so the PR no longer changes generated content.
- CHANGELOG entry reworded: the skill loses its dashes, the routing row keeps its trigger separator; the internal
  review file name is gone.
- render-routing --check 0, check-skill-routing 0, check-pr-discipline clean, client-data scan clean.

Doctor stale-hook check, gitignore worktree/tracked handling and tests were verified in r1 and are unchanged.
Follow-ups (post-release): stale-hook regex should match only $TOOLKIT/ and ${TOOLKIT}/; hide the empty section header;
doctor still tests -d .git for the doctor-receipt and toolkit.env lines (same -e fix).

 ## Unreleased
 
+- fix(release-review): **the v1.0 release review: the multilingual skill loses its em and en dashes (wording only, content unchanged; its routing row keeps the trigger separator the agent stubs cut on), `doctor.sh` warns when a hook copy in `~/.claude/hooks` calls a toolkit script that no longer exists (it names the script and says to re-run `bin/install-claude-hooks.sh --full`; a warning, never a failure), and the `.gitignore` line for `.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` now also reaches a project checked out as a git worktree (`.git` is a file there) in `doctor.sh` and `sync-project.sh`; `check-ignore --no-index` stops the line being appended again when the file is already tracked, and a `git rm --cached` hint is printed.** Tests: new `test-doctor-stale-hooks.sh`; worktree and tracked-file cases added to `test-progress-report-gitignore.sh`. CHANGELOG tidy (a stray blank line, one credit). — MendixMau
+- fix(progress-report): **round 6 of the review: the session cache is machine-local and tied to its project, the first cached run is not slower than a cold one, and the build ledger decides the Stage 4 to 5 switch.** (1) `.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` holds absolute session-log paths, so `init-project.sh`, `doctor.sh` and `sync-project.sh` now put `/.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` in the project's `.gitignore`, the way they do for the doctor receipt and `toolkit.env`. (2) The cache header records the project's real path and the attribution rules (25% of tool calls, 20 calls); a copied or moved project, or a changed threshold, reads it as cold, so a copy never lists the original's sessions. (3) Files skipped by the 300-file cap are recorded as `no`, so a cached run never reads more files than a cold one. (4) With rows in `metrics-ledger.tsv` (else BUILD-LOG) the switch comes from the ledger; an earlier exec.sh call or build skill in a session log is ignored, the timed sign-off rule stays, and the footer says how the switch is chosen. Tests: F15 to F17 in `test-progress-report-field-fixes.sh`, new `test-progress-report-gitignore.sh` — MendixMau
 - fix(progress-report): **polish on a fresh and an updated demo project: a "done <date>" plan row counts as built in the card, the plan header and the phase badge alike; a placeholder gate failure on a stage after the current one reads PENDING, not FAIL; the no-session-log notice is one calm line with the regenerate hint inside "How this was measured"; the test-moments table says unit tests run for the flows chosen at CAC-5, not "when switched on".** — field review of the #434 report

 - fix(progress-report): **round 5 of the field test: "building now" marks the phase of the last successful build step (its mdlsource folder, else the script name matched to the plan, else the highest active phase; blocked steps and earlier amber rows do not move it); discovery of sessions from other folders counts only tool calls that operate on the project (at least 25% of a session's calls and at least 20, gaps over 30 minutes cut, sessions that run progress-report.py excluded, text mentions never count) and lists the sessions used in a collapsed element; a Stage 4 sign-off row with a date but no time puts the Stage 5 switch at the first build activity on or after that date (marked inferred) instead of midnight; the exec log is now the primary source for build activity: `.claude/loop/metrics-ledger.tsv` (written by exec.sh, UTC shown as local time) gives the Stage 5 build facts with or without a session log (runs, applied, failed, blocked, restored, exec time, wall span, runs per phase, latest model score, share of exec time lost to failed or restored runs), the last build step, the building-now phase and the Stage 4 to 5 switch, with BUILD-LOG and then session activity as fallbacks; docs/progress/TIME-LEDGER.md is an optional hand-written extra and its reader maps columns by each table's header.** Tests F10 (existing-project fixture) and F11 (older toolkit, then sync-project.sh) added. — MendixMau

 - new(progress-report): **`architecture/progress-report.html` replaces `architecture/build-plan.html`, and adds time, token and tips views from the session log.** `build-plan-status.sh --html` now writes one self-contained page: every phase and the built versus proven views the old page had, stages P to 6 with artifact links, a progress bar and stage nav, and, when a Claude Code log for the project folder exists, time per stage, sub-agent use, context size, an estimated token cost (rates in an optional file, placeholder defaults, labelled as estimates), a Run health strip and a speed panel. Tips and tricks sit in a narrow side column (after the title, headline and stage cards on a phone), in one collapsed box per theme (Context, Tokens and cost, Speed, Health, Sub-agents), empty themes hidden. Only patterns with a concrete action in the project are shown, ranked by time or tokens lost, each with what was seen, why it matters and one fix. Severity is calm: red only for a key script (doctor, gate-check, exec, tests) failing every run with at least 3 runs, or a hang over 30 minutes; context is never red (a Context tip is amber when the window was reached or a compaction happened). Required gates and builds on the inherent list never produce a hang or slow tip and never change Run health; tips that lose under a minute are dropped; tips name real scripts or commands only. Costs that come from how the toolkit and mxcli work (build time, required gates and reviews, waiting on builds or the user, the mandated review model) are flagged inherent in the script and never shown. The context window is 1M only when the log records it (a `[1m]` model id or a context-1m beta); otherwise 200k, and a context above 200k with auto compactions caps the window at the compaction point and is labelled inferred. Never a percentage over 100. Every threshold sits in one block at the top of `project-bin/progress-report.py`, and the footer records the project folder and session log paths used. Only numbers, stage names, script names, file paths and sub-agent short descriptions are read from the log, never message text. Without a log the project sections render and the page says time and token data are unavailable. The page refreshes after every `exec.sh` slice and reloads itself every 30 s only while the build is active. PROJECT.md `Progress report: off | ask | auto` (default `ask`) controls it, and `--open` opens it. An existing `build-plan.html` is never deleted, and gate-check and status.sh still accept it. `--json` is unchanged. Skill words fell by about 100 (Step 10 and step 16 shortened). Tests: `tests/wave2/test-progress-report.sh`, `test-build-plan-json.sh`, `test-surface-column.sh`. — MendixMau
 - fix(process-map): migrate no longer trusts a regex for the model key: it checks the top-level `anchors` changed and otherwise re-writes the model, and says so instead of claiming "only that key was changed"; a string `targets` in an old file counts as a one-item list instead of crashing; unfilled entries already in the current anchors file are listed, not dropped silently (follow-up to #438 review) — MendixMau
 - new(brd-report): the Stage 2 report opens with the pass-1 process map (drawn by `process-map.js build --embed`, not a copy) and lists requirements and open questions under it, each tied to its step; a click on a step filters the list, what no step covers stays under "whole app". `open-questions.html` and `bin/questions-report.sh` are retired: the gate and the interview hook write `analysis/brd-report.html`, and an old project's `docs/open-questions.html` is never an error, only pointed away from. Stage 3: the prototype links to the full map and the map links back — a business owner could not tell where in the work a question fits (field run, 2026-10-16) — MendixMau
-
 - learn(multilingual-app): **a second language is four decisions the translations never see — source language, enabled languages, the user's starting language, and a switch a normal role can use.** New `skills/learned-multilingual-app.md` (routed on demand, stages 3/5/6, architect, mdl + review). Field run 2026-10-09 (Mendix 11.15.0, mxcli v0.25.0, an app authored in Spanish gaining ES + PT): 418 strings per language written correctly, and still the language picker raised an error, showed a blank label and changed nothing, with check, exec.sh and lint green. Causes: captions authored under the default `en_US` (so `en_US` is the authored language); demo users on that hidden source language; the Marketplace LanguageSelector writing `System.User_Language` from the browser, which this project's non-admin role could not, with no grant route found (mxcli `check` passes the grant, `exec` refuses it; Studio Pro does not offer the member, so the first fix — a Studio Pro hand step — was impossible; a probe on the `System.User` module role now comes first); `login.html` outside the translation system. Recipe: a microflow sets `$currentUser`'s language, a nanoflow reloads, CSS highlights from `<html lang>`; seeded users start in a visible language. `learned-mdl-cannot-express.md` gains the LanguageSelector row. — CarlesZ
 - process(inbox): **five field notes from an existing-app legacy-widget rebuild** — exec.sh keeps an MDL write when mxbuild crashes on it and the next exec runs on "Baseline NOT measured"; a signal stop of `run --test-endpoint` leaves AfterStartupMicroflow on `MxTest.RegisterEndpoint` (second field case for #244); Unit-row delete refused as ORPHAN, rename-then-drop works; a durable-rebuild kit with a "restate from DESCRIBE" STOP row (DESCRIBE omits module-role and layout-row visibility: 97 role locks in 16 documents, none shown); learned entries for File Uploader image mode (CE0463), native-mapped `radiobuttons`/`image`, tab-page `CaptionParams`/`Visible:` silently dropped, BUG-39 on widget XPath, and two-hop data-source paths. Three further notes (restore-mpr usage, build-plan-status flag order, another project's mxcli test blocking exec.sh) were dropped because master already fixes them. Mendix 11.14.0 Beta, mxcli v0.25.0, toolkit c1efcb3 — AlvinnYeo
 - fix(build-plan-status): --refresh keeps an existing build-plan.json current, so a day of building no longer reads as 0 built — MendixMau

# PR #456 review, round 1

PR: fix(build-plan-status): read every skill-listed State like the phase card
Base release/v1.0, head 89a21a77 (branch fix/plan-state-values, one commit, base is an ancestor, no conflicts)

Verdict: APPROVE

## Must-fix

None.

## What was checked

**Classifiers agree.** I ran 48 State values through `classify_state` (progress-report.py) and both copies of `classify` (build-plan-status.sh) and mapped the buckets: plan built/partial/skipped to card built/partial/skip; plan not built/blocked/pending a person to card todo.
- Every prefix value gives the same bucket: built, done, done <date>, complete(d), verified, proven, passed, partial(ly built), in progress, started, wip, not built, not done, not started, planned, to do, todo, open, pending, failed, blocked (also "blocked (waiting)"), not needed, n/a, dropped, skipped, waived, deferred.
- Case is lowered before matching. `**bold**` is stripped. "built (partial)" is built in both.
- Order is safe. "not built", "not done" and "not started" are matched before "built", "done" and "started". "pending a person" is matched before "pending".
- The only differences are deliberate: an unreadable value (leading date such as "2026-10-01 built", backticked `` `built` ``, an emoji prefix, an empty cell) is todo on the card and None (reported as unreadable) on the plan page. The PR says it does this.
- One trivial edge: "** built**". The card strips spaces before removing the `**`, so it reads todo; the plan reads built. The card's own md parser (`_cells`) already strips `**`, so this can only happen on the JSON path. Not worth a change.

**Blocked.** The card puts blocked in todo. The plan counts blocked as not built in both the header and the rollup, and names it with "(N of them blocked)". This matches.

**Nothing that counted as built drops out.** Before the PR, built meant the lowered value starts with "built" or "done". None of the new earlier checks (pending a person, blocked, the not-built list, the skip list) can match a value that starts with "built" or "done". The new code also strips whitespace and `**`, so it can only count more rows as built, never fewer.

**Relabel.** `stage_state` already returns "pending" for any stage after the current one that is not in the passed list. So the new `states[s] == "pending"` guard changes one case only: a later stage that PROJECT.md lists as passed while gate-check shows a placeholder FAIL. That case now stays FAIL, which is right. A WAIVED stage never has a FAIL status, so it cannot reach this branch. gate-check.sh's verdict words (PASS/FAIL/MANUAL/PENDING/WAIVED) are unchanged. Narrow and harmless.

**Downstream.** No script in bin/ or project-bin/ reads the phase `state` from build-plan.json to make a decision. gate-check.sh and exec.sh only call `--refresh`, and progress-report.py reads the row States, not the phase rollup. test-build-plan-json passes.

**Tests.**
- I ran P5 against the base scripts: 7 of its 8 checks fail, as the PR says, and the P1 header check also fails because the header format changed.
- The P2b checks pass on base. The PR body says this honestly: they guard behaviour the base already had.
- All suites pass on head: progress-report 101/0, field-fixes 101/0, gitignore 15/0, polish 32/0, build-plan-json 70/0, build-plan-status-args 6/0.
- check-portability is clean (285 files). check-pr-discipline against origin/release/v1.0 is clean.

**Hygiene.** No em or en dashes in new prose. The only one is the repo's usual "— MendixMau" credit separator in the CHANGELOG. No private names, no conflict markers. The CHANGELOG entry is accurate but long.

**Screens** (/tmp/states-out/before.png, after.png):
- Before: "1 built, 2 not built, 5 with a State cell this page cannot read", and every phase badge says unknown.
- After: "3 built, 1 partial, 4 not built (2 of them blocked)" with built, in progress and not built badges. This matches the card's "3 of 8 rows built, 1 partial".

## Nice-to-haves (follow-up, not blocking)

1. **"Not needed" rows.** The per-phase line on the plan page ("N of M rows built") and the header row count both include not-needed rows. The card leaves them out (`n = len(steps) - skip`). A phase with one not-needed row reads "3 of 4" on the plan page and "3 of 3" on the card. Excluding skipped rows from M would make the "one count" claim hold here too.
2. **"0 partial" is always printed.** The header now always shows it (see the P1 assertion). The card adds partial only when it is non-zero. Printing it only when non-zero would match the card and keep the header calmer.
3. **No test for the real narrowing.** Nothing exercises the case the relabel change actually affects: a later stage marked passed in PROJECT.md with a placeholder FAIL on the gate page. Add one P2b case.
4. **P5 coverage gaps.** P5 does not cover `not needed`, `in progress`, `**built**` (bold) or `done`. Adding one row each would pin the skip rollup and bold stripping.
5. **Drift note misses blocked and partial rows.** The drift note fires only for "not built". A blocked or partial row whose scripts are all `done-` gets no note. This is minor and existed before the PR.
6. **Stale card stamp.** The card's stamp still reads "anything else = not built" and does not mention not needed rows. The wording predates this PR.
7. **Duplicate classifier.** The two `classify` copies in build-plan-status.sh are now 8 lines each and must change together. One shared helper would remove that drift risk. Fine to leave for after v1.0.

 - fix(release-review): **the v1.0 release review: the multilingual skill loses its em and en dashes (wording only, content unchanged; its routing row keeps the trigger separator the agent stubs cut on), `doctor.sh` warns when a hook copy in `~/.claude/hooks` calls a toolkit script that no longer exists (it names the script and says to re-run `bin/install-claude-hooks.sh --full`; a warning, never a failure), and the `.gitignore` line for `.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` now also reaches a project checked out as a git worktree (`.git` is a file there) in `doctor.sh` and `sync-project.sh`; `check-ignore --no-index` stops the line being appended again when the file is already tracked, and a `git rm --cached` hint is printed.** Tests: new `test-doctor-stale-hooks.sh`; worktree and tracked-file cases added to `test-progress-report-gitignore.sh`. CHANGELOG tidy (a stray blank line, one credit). — MendixMau
 - fix(progress-report): **round 6 of the review: the session cache is machine-local and tied to its project, the first cached run is not slower than a cold one, and the build ledger decides the Stage 4 to 5 switch.** (1) `.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` holds absolute session-log paths, so `init-project.sh`, `doctor.sh` and `sync-project.sh` now put `/.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` in the project's `.gitignore`, the way they do for the doctor receipt and `toolkit.env`. (2) The cache header records the project's real path and the attribution rules (25% of tool calls, 20 calls); a copied or moved project, or a changed threshold, reads it as cold, so a copy never lists the original's sessions. (3) Files skipped by the 300-file cap are recorded as `no`, so a cached run never reads more files than a cold one. (4) With rows in `metrics-ledger.tsv` (else BUILD-LOG) the switch comes from the ledger; an earlier exec.sh call or build skill in a session log is ignored, the timed sign-off rule stays, and the footer says how the switch is chosen. Tests: F15 to F17 in `test-progress-report-field-fixes.sh`, new `test-progress-report-gitignore.sh` — MendixMau
 - fix(progress-report): **polish on a fresh and an updated demo project: a "done <date>" plan row counts as built in the card, the plan header and the phase badge alike; a placeholder gate failure on a stage after the current one reads PENDING, not FAIL; the no-session-log notice is one calm line with the regenerate hint inside "How this was measured"; the test-moments table says unit tests run for the flows chosen at CAC-5, not "when switched on".** — field review of the #434 report

Subject: [PATCH 10/18] fix(progress-report): fold the full plan tables under
 the phase cards (#457)

fix(progress-report): fold the full plan tables under the phase cards

Verdict: APPROVE

PR #457 fix(progress-report): fold the full plan tables under the phase cards
Branch fix/progress-report-collapse-plan-tables at b1c7921c, base release/v1.0. GitHub reports MERGEABLE.

## Must-fix

None.

## Checked and fine

- HTML of the fold. The fragment sits in `<details id=plan-tables class='card frag'>` with one summary and one closing `</details>` (progress-report.py lines 1612 to 1615). On the real render (/tmp/do-copy/architecture/progress-report.html) there are 33 `<details>` and 33 `</details>`, and an HTML parser walk from the plan-tables tag to `<footer>` leaves nothing unclosed and no mismatched end tags.
- No empty card. With no plan fragment the branch writes nothing: I rendered a bare project with `--no-log` and got 0 hits for `plan-tables`, "No plan to summarise yet" still shows, and details stay balanced (9/9). Before this PR an empty `<div id=plan-tables>` was written.
- Jump link. "Jump to the plan tables" (`href='#plan-tables'`, line 1593) only renders inside the plan-present branch. `openTarget()` sets `open` on a targeted DETAILS element, so the link opens the fold and lands on it. The autoreload remembers `details[id]`, and plan-tables has an id, so an opened fold stays open across the 30 s refresh.
- Dark mode. The card uses the same `--card`/`--line`/`--ink` tokens as every other card, and the existing `.frag ...` rules still apply because the class is kept. Nothing colour-specific was added.
- Print. The report has no print stylesheet, so print renders the same as the screen: the fold is closed and prints as one summary line. The phase cards were already folded `<details>` before this PR, so print stays consistent with them. (See nice-to-have.)
- Screenshot /tmp/do-457.png: the 14 phase cards, then one folded line "Full plan tables and views A and B" with its subline, then the footer "How these numbers are derived" right below. The page is short now and the footer can be reached.
- CHANGELOG line. Accurate: a closed `<details>` card below the phase cards, nothing written without a fragment, test P6 named, credited "MendixMau". The only dash in it is the house credit separator before "MendixMau" that every entry uses.
- Test P6 checks the details wrapper, that it is closed by default, that the jump link is still there, and that the old `<div>` wrapper is gone.
- Hygiene. No client, brand or app names in the diff, no personal paths, no conflict markers. `bin/check-pr-discipline.sh origin/release/v1.0`: clean.

## Tests

Run in a detached worktree with the stub `gh` first on PATH.

| Test | Result |
|---|---|
| tests/wave2/test-progress-report.sh (arg: project-bin/build-plan-status.sh) | PASS=101 FAIL=0 |
| tests/wave2/test-progress-report-polish.sh | PASS=36 FAIL=0 (P6 included) |
| tests/wave2/test-progress-report-field-fixes.sh | PASS=101 FAIL=0 |
| tests/wave2/test-progress-report-gitignore.sh | PASS=15 FAIL=0 |
| tests/wave2/test-build-plan-status-args.sh (arg: build-plan-status.sh) | 6 passed, 0 failed |
| tests/*/test-build-plan-json.sh | PASS=70 FAIL=0 |
| Manual: render without fragment | no plan-tables, no jump link, details 9/9 |
| bin/check-pr-discipline.sh origin/release/v1.0 | clean |

## Nice-to-have

1. P6 does not test the no-fragment case. Add `hasnt "$R_nofrag" "plan-tables"` on a project without build-plan.md so the "nothing is written" claim is pinned down.
2. Edge case: if progress-report.py is called directly with `--plan-json` and no `--fragment`, the jump link points at an id that does not exist (before, it pointed at an empty div). build-plan-status.sh always passes both, so this does not happen in normal use. Hiding the link when `args.fragment` is empty would close it.
3. Print: a reader who prints the report now gets no plan tables. If printing the full plan matters, a small `@media print{details#plan-tables>*{display:block}}` or a `beforeprint` handler that opens it would restore that. Optional.
4. `<div class=sub>` inside `<summary>` is not strictly valid content for a summary (phrasing content only). The phase cards already do the same and browsers render it fine, so this is a consistency note only.

 ## Unreleased
 
+- fix(progress-report): **the full plan tables (one table per phase plus views A and B) now sit in one closed `<details>` card below the phase cards, so a large plan no longer pushes the rest of the report off screen; the phase cards above stay the summary, and nothing is written when the project has no plan fragment.** Test: P6 in `test-progress-report-polish.sh` — MendixMau
 - fix(build-plan-status): **every State the build-plan skill lists (built, partial, not built, blocked) and every spelling the phase card already counts (complete, verified, in progress, not needed and the like) is now read the same way by the plan header and the phase badge, so card, header and badge give one count; blocked counts as not built and is named in the header, genuinely unreadable values are still reported as unreadable; the later-stage placeholder FAIL is relabelled PENDING only while that stage is pending in PROJECT.md, with tests that a real FAIL stays FAIL and that FAIL stays when the current stage is unknown** — MendixMau
 - fix(release-review): **the v1.0 release review: the multilingual skill loses its em and en dashes (wording only, content unchanged; its routing row keeps the trigger separator the agent stubs cut on), `doctor.sh` warns when a hook copy in `~/.claude/hooks` calls a toolkit script that no longer exists (it names the script and says to re-run `bin/install-claude-hooks.sh --full`; a warning, never a failure), and the `.gitignore` line for `.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` now also reaches a project checked out as a git worktree (`.git` is a file there) in `doctor.sh` and `sync-project.sh`; `check-ignore --no-index` stops the line being appended again when the file is already tracked, and a `git rm --cached` hint is printed.** Tests: new `test-doctor-stale-hooks.sh`; worktree and tracked-file cases added to `test-progress-report-gitignore.sh`. CHANGELOG tidy (a stray blank line, one credit). — MendixMau
 - fix(progress-report): **round 6 of the review: the session cache is machine-local and tied to its project, the first cached run is not slower than a cold one, and the build ledger decides the Stage 4 to 5 switch.** (1) `.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` holds absolute session-log paths, so `init-project.sh`, `doctor.sh` and `sync-project.sh` now put `/.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` in the project's `.gitignore`, the way they do for the doctor receipt and `toolkit.env`. (2) The cache header records the project's real path and the attribution rules (25% of tool calls, 20 calls); a copied or moved project, or a changed threshold, reads it as cold, so a copy never lists the original's sessions. (3) Files skipped by the 300-file cap are recorded as `no`, so a cached run never reads more files than a cold one. (4) With rows in `metrics-ledger.tsv` (else BUILD-LOG) the switch comes from the ledger; an earlier exec.sh call or build skill in a session log is ignored, the timed sign-off rule stays, and the footer says how the switch is chosen. Tests: F15 to F17 in `test-progress-report-field-fixes.sh`, new `test-progress-report-gitignore.sh` — MendixMau

 an unlicensed local runtime (#439)

learn(load-test): the 6-session cap and 2-4 h stop of an unlicensed local runtime

Verdict: APPROVE

r2 on head 6bf0b6b8. The r1 must-fix is done: the skill header now says every trap was hit in the 16 load runs except trap 9, which comes from parallel journey runs against local apps. The rest of r1 stands: the traps run 1 to 11 with no gaps, there are no stale references to the old numbers, the added prose has no dashes, and check-pr-discipline is clean.

Subject: [PATCH 12/18] fix(exec): pause the project watcher during the gate

fix(exec): pause the project watcher during the gate and retry once on an infra exit

Verdict: APPROVE

r3 on head fd906283. The r2 must-fix is done (f4cc5aeb): the -p value is no longer cut at the first space; the longest run of words that exists on disk is kept, so a duplicated "<proj> copy" watcher is not matched, and this project's own watcher under a path with a space is. The r2 nice-to-have 1 is also done: the pause record is written before the SIGSTOP loop. Test D now runs a "<proj> copy" sibling with its own .mpr; it fails on 0c14d17f (22/24) and passes with the fix (24/24). lock-watch 84/84, crash-rollback 13/13, check-scripts, check-portability and check-pr-discipline clean. Base release/v1.0 merged (CHANGELOG keep-both). Everything else in r2 stands.

+- fix(exec): **the gate pauses this project's `mxcli run --local --watch` while mxbuild runs and retries once on an infra exit.** The gate's mxbuild and a live watcher both write `deployment/`; in a field migration project (12 modules) 17 of 27 failed gates were "gate could not run" (mxbuild exit 1, no CE code), against 0 of 22 in watcher-free copies. The watcher is stopped (SIGSTOP) for the gate and resumed (SIGCONT, also in the EXIT trap); an exit 1 or 3 with no CE code and no errors file is retried once and the BUILD-LOG row says `retry after infra exit`; a final failure still takes the #424 rollback. The match is exact (the watcher's project dir must equal this project's root, so a sibling `-copy` or a nested worktree watcher is never paused), and the paused pids are recorded in `.mpr-snapshots/.watcher-paused` so the next exec.sh resumes a watcher left stopped by a SIGKILLed one and says so.

Subject: [PATCH 13/18] fix(exec): keep the gate's full mxbuild output in a
 per-run log (#452)

fix(exec): keep the gate's full mxbuild output in a per-run log. Independent review: APPROVE.

Verdict: APPROVE

r3 on head after merging the fixed #451 (f4cc5aeb, fd906283) into fix/gate-full-log; the merge was clean. r2 APPROVE stands. gate-log 24/24 and gate-retry 24/24 on the merged head, check-pr-discipline clean. Merges after #451.

 ## Unreleased
 
+- fix(exec): **the gate keeps mxbuild's full output in a per-run log and names it on screen and in the BUILD-LOG row.** exec.sh printed `head -20` of the output and deleted the rest, so the evidence of a failed gate (a CE1613 detail among it) was lost in a field migration project (12 modules). A gate that does not pass now writes `.mpr-snapshots/.mxbuild-logs/<run>.log` (newest 30 kept; a dot dir, so `restore-mpr.sh` and the snapshot pruning skip it; a clean or delta-gate pass writes none, and a retry always keeps the first attempt's output next to the second); the screen shows the top lines plus the path and the row ends with `mxbuild log: <path>`. Test: `tests/wave2/test-exec-gate-log.sh` (Refs #442, #448, #171, #285, #424) — field migration project
 - fix(exec): **the gate pauses this project's `mxcli run --local --watch` while mxbuild runs and retries once on an infra exit.** The gate's mxbuild and a live watcher both write `deployment/`; in a field migration project (12 modules) 17 of 27 failed gates were "gate could not run" (mxbuild exit 1, no CE code), against 0 of 22 in watcher-free copies. The watcher is stopped (SIGSTOP) for the gate and resumed (SIGCONT, also in the EXIT trap); an exit 1 or 3 with no CE code and no errors file is retried once and the BUILD-LOG row says `retry after infra exit`; a final failure still takes the #424 rollback. The match is exact (the watcher's project dir must equal this project's root, so a sibling `-copy` or a nested worktree watcher is never paused), and the paused pids are recorded in `.mpr-snapshots/.watcher-paused` so the next exec.sh resumes a watcher left stopped by a SIGKILLed one and says so. Test: `tests/wave2/test-exec-gate-retry.sh` (Refs #441, #444, #171, #285, #424) — field migration project
 - learn(load-test): **trap 9, an unlicensed local runtime caps concurrent sessions at 6 ("Maximum number of sessions exceeded!") and stops itself after a random 2 to 4 hours, both reading as the app failing under load; more than 6 users needs a licensed runtime or a cloud sandbox.** Text only, ondemand skill. Source: a personal licence-budget gate written after parallel journey runs hit both — MendixMau
 - fix(progress-report): **the full plan tables (one table per phase plus views A and B) now sit in one closed `<details>` card below the phase cards, so a large plan no longer pushes the rest of the report off screen; the phase cards above stay the summary, and nothing is written when the project has no plan fragment.** Test: P6 in `test-progress-report-polish.sh` — MendixMau

Subject: [PATCH 14/18] fix(exec): restore toolkit lint rules after mxcli's
 session-start re-seed instead of ending BLIND (#463)

fix(exec): restore toolkit lint rules after mxcli's session-start re-seed (#461). Independent review: APPROVE; follow-up 1 (installer output trimmed after capture) fixed in 99faa67a.

# PR #463 review, round 1

fix(exec): restore toolkit lint rules after mxcli's session-start re-seed instead of ending BLIND (fixes #461)

- Branch `fix/lint-rules-revert`, head `4fbb0692`, merge base `02e4366e` (= current `origin/release/v1.0`)
- Files: `project-bin/exec.sh` (+24), `tests/wave2/test-exec-lint-autorestore.sh` (new, 91 lines), `CHANGELOG.md` (+1)
- Reviewed in a detached worktree at /tmp/rv463, base at /tmp/rvbase, `/tmp/ghstub` first on PATH, macOS bash 3.2.57

## What it does

When `bin/lint-gate.sh` exits 1 with its "BLIND, lint rules reverted to stock" line, `run_lint_gate` finds the toolkit root (`find_toolkit_root`: `$MXTK_ROOT` or the CLAUDE.local.md row), runs `mxtk_install_lint_rules <tk> <project> 0 ""` in a subshell, shows up to 12 lines of its output, and runs lint-gate once more. If the rerun is not BLIND, the BUILD-LOG detail gets `; toolkit lint rules auto-restored after a stock re-seed (<names>)`. `MXTK_NO_LINT_RESTORE=1` skips the whole block. No toolkit root found: unchanged BLIND.

## Tests

| Test | head | base |
|---|---|---|
| test-exec-lint-autorestore.sh (new) | 17 pass, 0 fail | 7 pass, **10 fail** (run against base exec.sh: T2, T3, T6 fail as expected; T1, T4, T5 pass, correctly, they assert unchanged behaviour) |
| test-lint-receipt-revert.sh | 54 pass, 1 fail | 54 pass, 1 fail |
| test-exec-lock-watch.sh | 84 / 0 | 84 / 0 |
| test-lint-gate-accept.sh | 20 / 0 | 20 / 0 |
| test-lint-gate-new-findings.sh | 9 / 0 | 9 / 0 |
| test-sec014-notice.sh | 24 / 0 | 24 / 0 |

**Claim verified:** the single test-lint-receipt-revert.sh failure (`FAIL no remedy command`, line 78) fails identically on base. It is pre-existing and unrelated to this PR (the remedy line is printed; the test's `$P` match misses on this macOS temp path).

`bash -n` clean on bash 3.2. I also ran the extracted function under `bash -ec` (exec.sh runs under `set -e`; the shipped test uses plain `bash -c`): restore and rerun complete, no abort.

`bin/check-pr-discipline.sh origin/release/v1.0`: clean.

## Safety: can the restore overwrite a hand-edited rule?

The restore delegates entirely to the installer's existing classification, which is what `sync-project.sh` already runs:

| Rule state on disk | Installer action |
|---|---|
| matches a STOCK-HASHES entry | replaced with the toolkit version |
| matches the receipt (ours, unedited) | refreshed if the toolkit changed it |
| toolkit body without header | header re-added (identical body) |
| hand edit, header kept | **reported, never written** (T3 proves this) |
| stock-kind rule, header gone, hash unknown | replaced, **copy kept** as `.reseeded-<ts>` (newest 3) |
| configurable (conv020) edited | left alone |

So a hand edit is never lost. The one write over non-toolkit content is the last-but-one row, and it keeps a backup; that branch already existed for `sync-project.sh`. I checked whether that branch would fire on every compaction with the field mxcli: `mxcli-v0.27.0 init` in a scratch dir seeds the four stock rules with hashes that **are** in STOCK-HASHES.txt, so the field case takes the plain stock branch and no backups churn.

Minor wording point: the CHANGELOG and the code comment say "a hand edit is never written". Strictly, a header-less edit of a stock-kind rule is replaced (with a backup). "never lost" would be exact.

## Findings

### MUST-FIX

None.

### Follow-ups (not blocking v1.0)

1. **`| head -12` can kill the installer mid-run (SIGPIPE).** `( . install-lint-rules.sh; mxtk_install_lint_rules ... ) 2>&1 | head -12 | sed ...`: once head has its 12 lines it exits and the installer dies on its next echo. Reproduced at /tmp/probe463: four stock rules re-seeded plus the eleven toolkit-only rules deleted (what a full `mxcli init` does) gives 15 output lines; the installer stopped after line 12, `ui001` and `sec014` were not restored, `_mxtk_lint_receipt_finalize` never ran, and the run still ended BLIND (rc 3). The next exec.sh restored the rest. Not a data risk (each rule's cp and receipt write happen before its echo) and not the #461 hook case (`--sync-skills` only rewrites the four stock rules, which come first in the manifest, so 4 lines). Fix: write the installer output to a temp file, then `head -12` the file.
2. **The restore also refreshes rules the toolkit has moved on.** With `upgrade_spec ""` the installer applies every safe change, not only the reverted rules: receipt-matching rules whose toolkit copy changed are refreshed, newly shipped rules are installed. If the user pulled the toolkit (for example the v1.0 release) without running `sync-project.sh`, exec.sh now switches those rules mid-Stage-5, and the rerun may show a ROSE that the BUILD-LOG row attributes to the script just applied. The row's "auto-restored (names)" lists only the reverted rules. Options: restrict to the names lint-gate reported, or detect skew (toolkit md5 differs from the receipt for any non-reverted rule) and stay BLIND with the sync hint in that case.
3. Wording: "a hand edit is never written" to "a hand edit is never lost" (CHANGELOG + comment), see above.
4. The new test runs the function under `bash -c`, not `set -e` like exec.sh. A `-e` variant would guard future edits of this block.

 ## Unreleased
 
+- fix(exec): **exec.sh restores the toolkit lint rules itself when mxcli's session-start sync has reverted them to stock, then lints, instead of ending the run BLIND.** mxcli's SessionStart hook runs `mxcli init --sync-skills`, which rewrites its bundled lint rules on every compaction and subagent start with no opt-out; a long Stage 5 lost lint each time until someone reran `sync-project.sh`. exec.sh now runs the installer's own classification (stock or receipt-matching copies restored, a hand edit never lost), re-runs lint once and says so on screen and in the BUILD-LOG row; `MXTK_NO_LINT_RESTORE=1` keeps the old BLIND behaviour. Test: `tests/wave2/test-exec-lint-autorestore.sh` (Fixes #461) — MendixMau
 - fix(exec): **the gate keeps mxbuild's full output in a per-run log and names it on screen and in the BUILD-LOG row.** exec.sh printed `head -20` of the output and deleted the rest, so the evidence of a failed gate (a CE1613 detail among it) was lost in a field migration project (12 modules). A gate that does not pass now writes `.mpr-snapshots/.mxbuild-logs/<run>.log` (newest 30 kept; a dot dir, so `restore-mpr.sh` and the snapshot pruning skip it; a clean or delta-gate pass writes none, and a retry always keeps the first attempt's output next to the second); the screen shows the top lines plus the path and the row ends with `mxbuild log: <path>`. Test: `tests/wave2/test-exec-gate-log.sh` (Refs #442, #448, #171, #285, #424) — field migration project
 - fix(exec): **the gate pauses this project's `mxcli run --local --watch` while mxbuild runs and retries once on an infra exit.** The gate's mxbuild and a live watcher both write `deployment/`; in a field migration project (12 modules) 17 of 27 failed gates were "gate could not run" (mxbuild exit 1, no CE code), against 0 of 22 in watcher-free copies. The watcher is stopped (SIGSTOP) for the gate and resumed (SIGCONT, also in the EXIT trap); an exit 1 or 3 with no CE code and no errors file is retried once and the BUILD-LOG row says `retry after infra exit`; a final failure still takes the #424 rollback. The match is exact (the watcher's project dir must equal this project's root, so a sibling `-copy` or a nested worktree watcher is never paused), and the paused pids are recorded in `.mpr-snapshots/.watcher-paused` so the next exec.sh resumes a watcher left stopped by a SIGKILLed one and says so. Test: `tests/wave2/test-exec-gate-retry.sh` (Refs #441, #444, #171, #285, #424) — field migration project
 - learn(load-test): **trap 9, an unlicensed local runtime caps concurrent sessions at 6 ("Maximum number of sessions exceeded!") and stops itself after a random 2 to 4 hours, both reading as the app failing under load; more than 6 users needs a licensed runtime or a cloud sandbox.** Text only, ondemand skill. Source: a personal licence-budget gate written after parallel journey runs hit both — MendixMau

Subject: [PATCH 15/18] fix(doctor): pick the arm64 mxcli on Windows ARM64;
 document --yes for unattended install (#464)

fix(doctor): pick the Windows ARM64 mxcli build under Git Bash (#459). Independent review: APPROVE.

# PR #464 review, round 1

fix(doctor): pick the arm64 mxcli on Windows ARM64; document --yes for unattended install (fixes #459)

- Branch `fix/doctor-windows-arm64`, head `b943890d`, merge base `02e4366e` (= current `origin/release/v1.0`)
- Files: `bin/doctor.sh` (+22/-2), `tests/wave2/test-doctor-mxcli-arch.sh` (new), `CHANGELOG.md`, `README.md`, `project-bin/_common.sh`, `project-bin/lint-gate.sh` (message text only), three skills (doc text only)
- Reviewed in a detached worktree at /tmp/rv464, base at /tmp/rvbase, `/tmp/ghstub` first on PATH, macOS bash 3.2.57

## What it does

1. After the `uname -m` mapping, and only when `PLATFORM=gitbash`, `MXCLI_ARCH` becomes arm64 if `uname -s` ends in `-ARM64`, or `PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432=ARM64`, or `PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=ARM64`.
2. New table row `gitbash-arm64` picks `mxcli-windows-arm64.exe` with `MXCLI_FALLBACK_ASSET=mxcli-windows-amd64.exe`. If the first fetch fails and a fallback exists, it warns and fetches the amd64 .exe from the same release.
3. Success is now judged by `[ -s dest ] && chmod +x && probe_runs` instead of the fetch exit code.
4. Docs and two script messages say `--install --yes` for shells with no terminal.

## Tests

| Test | head | base |
|---|---|---|
| test-doctor-mxcli-arch.sh (new) | 10 pass, 0 fail | 7 pass, **3 fail** (the three ARM64 cases; x86, macOS, Linux cases pass on both, as they should) |
| test-doctor-gate-selftest.sh | 26 pass, 2 fail | 26 pass, 2 fail |
| test-doctor-docker-probe.sh | 18 / 0 | 18 / 0 |
| test-doctor-stale-hooks.sh | 7 / 0 | 7 / 0 |

**Gate self-test confirmed:** both failures are the known no-mxbuild case (`reported as NOT RUN, not FAIL` and `no gate-self-test FAIL line`), identical on base and head. Not introduced here.

Fallback path (not covered by the shipped test) probed by hand at /tmp/probe464: fake `uname` (`...-ARM64`, `x86_64`), fake `curl` that 404s the arm64 asset and serves a runnable amd64 stub, `MXCLI_VERSION=v0.20.0 --install --yes`. Result: plan shows the arm64 URL, `WARN mxcli-windows-arm64.exe is not published ...; trying mxcli-windows-amd64.exe`, then `ok mxcli fetched`. Works.

No test greps the changed lint-gate or `_common.sh` message text. `bash -n` clean on bash 3.2; the new test runs under bash 3.2.

`bin/check-pr-discipline.sh origin/release/v1.0`: clean.

## Safety: can arch detection misfire?

- **macOS, Linux, WSL:** the override sits inside `if [ "$PLATFORM" = gitbash ]`, so `PROCESSOR_*` variables leaking into a Unix env cannot change anything. The test covers `Darwin` with both vars set to ARM64: still darwin-amd64.
- **x86-64 Windows:** `uname -s` has no `-ARM64` suffix; `PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE` is `AMD64` or `x86`; `PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432` is unset or `AMD64` (WOW64). None match the exact `ARM64` patterns. Covered by two test cases.
- **Windows ARM64, 32-bit or x64 emulated shell:** any of the three signals is enough, and all three describe the hardware, so a mixed reading still lands on arm64.
- **Asset exists:** `mxcli-windows-arm64.exe` is published in v0.24.0, v0.25.0, v0.26.0 and v0.27.0 (latest), checked with `gh release view`. The fallback only runs for older pins.
- **Failure handling:** a failed fetch with no fallback still ends in the existing "fetching mxcli failed" branch (curl `-f` leaves no file, wget leaves an empty one, `-s` rejects both). The `rm -f` on failure is unchanged from base and only runs when `NEED_MXCLI=1`, which means no runnable project mxcli existed.

## Findings

### MUST-FIX

None.

### Follow-ups (not blocking v1.0)

1. **Fallback warning blames the release for any fetch failure.** It fires on a proxy or network error too and says "is not published for this mxcli version", then the second fetch fails the same way. Suggest "could not fetch $MXCLI_ASSET (not published for this version, or network); trying ...".
2. **16 bare `doctor.sh --install` mentions remain**, 7 of them in doctor.sh's own output (lines 704, 851, 861, 894, 949, 1208, 1213). Agents read doctor output and will run the bare form. It self-corrects (the no-terminal warning prints the `--yes` command), but #459 point 2 is only partly closed.
3. **No test for the fallback branch.** The probe above shows it works; a fake-`curl` case in test-doctor-mxcli-arch.sh would lock it in.
4. CHANGELOG entry does not name the test and says `(#459)` where sibling entries use `Test: ...` and `(Fixes #...)`. Cosmetic.
5. The doctor.sh header comment at line 60 is now one very long line; rewrap.

+- fix(doctor): **`--install` picks the native arm64 mxcli on Windows ARM64 (falling back to amd64 for a pinned release without it), and the docs say `--install --yes` when there is no terminal.** Git Bash there runs emulated so `uname -m` says x86_64 and doctor fetched the amd64 .exe; the arch now also reads the `uname -s` -ARM64 suffix and PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432/PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE.

The watcher is stopped (SIGSTOP) for the gate and resumed (SIGCONT, also in the EXIT trap); an exit 1 or 3 with no CE code and no errors file is retried once and the BUILD-LOG row says `retry after infra exit`; a final failure still takes the #424 rollback.

Subject: [PATCH 16/18] fix(process-map): show answers and decisions; count
 only what is still open (#458) (#465)

fix(process-map): count only open questions; show answers and decisions (#458). Independent review: CHANGES, must-fix (UNCONFIRMED read as decided) fixed in ee05a22c with tests.

# Review r1: PR #465 (fixes #458), process map counts answered and assumed questions as open

- Head: 3c536963 (committed 2026-10-18 22:00 +0800). Base: origin/release/v1.0 @ 02e4366e.
- Read-only review in a detached worktree at /tmp/rv465 (and /tmp/rv465base for base). Nothing pushed, merged or commented.
- My renders: ~/Mendix/night-desk/night-2026-10-17/shots/458/review-r1/ (idx.png, idx-open.png, drawer.png, drawer-open.png), built from the T11 fixture at head.

## Verdict up front

The fix does what #458 asks. Answers, consent, options and recommendations now reach `D.items`, the header counts only open items, the drawer shows Answer / Status / Answered by / Consent by, and "Open only" works. One must-fix: the CONFIRMED test is a substring match, so `UNCONFIRMED` and `ASSUMED, NOT CONFIRMED` rows show as green "Decided (confirmed)". That is the same bug `gate-check.sh` already fixed for the hard gate, and it is a one-line change.

## Test runs

| Suite | head | base |
|---|---|---|
| tests/wave2/test-process-map.sh | 83 ok, 0 FAIL | 74 ok, 0 FAIL |
| tests/wave2/test-process-map-field.sh | 59 ok, 0 FAIL | 59 ok, 0 FAIL |
| tests/wave2/test-brd-report-process-map.sh | 73 ok, 0 FAIL | 73 ok, 0 FAIL |
| head's test-process-map.sh run against base code | | 77 ok, 6 FAIL |

- The new T11 fails on base as it should: 6 FAIL (state counts and fields, answer text, CONFIRMED row shown, Open only filter, legend, consolidated state). The 2 that pass on base ("CONFIRMED rows are not pinned or anchored", "not in the anchors file") are regression guards. They pass trivially on base because base drops CONFIRMED rows.
- `bin/check-pr-discipline.sh origin/release/v1.0` with LEAKGUARD_DENY set: clean, rc 0.
- `bin/check-portability.sh`: clean (287 files). `bin/check-scripts.sh`: 118/118 shell, 25/25 Node parse.
- macOS bash 3.2.57: the test parses under `/bin/bash -n` and runs 83 ok, 0 FAIL under `/bin/bash`. `sed -i.bak` is the portable BSD/GNU form. The template keeps to ES5 (`var`, `function`). The builder uses spread and `Set`, which is fine for Node.

## Field case: every question ANSWERED or ASSUMED with consent

I built a fixture with all 4 BRD questions settled (Q01 is `blocking: true` and ANSWERED, Q02 and Q04 are ASSUMED with consentBy/consentAt, Q03 is ANSWERED). Result from the embedded data, using the header's own filters: **open 0, block 0**, answered or decided 5, assumptions to confirm 2. The 2 are the two register rows whose status is plain `ASSUMED` in PROJECT.md. That is correct: the register really says ASSUMED. In the #458 run, "40 assumptions to confirm" will therefore not drop to 0 unless the register rows record consent (`/consent/i` in Status). That is expected, but worth saying in the release note.

## MUST-FIX

**M1. `/CONFIRMED/` matches UNCONFIRMED and NOT CONFIRMED** (`project-bin/process-map.js`, register loop, `const confirmed = /CONFIRMED/.test(status)`).

Reproduced at head. Register rows `ASSUMED, NOT CONFIRMED` and `UNCONFIRMED` both come out as `state: answered`, are labelled "Decided (confirmed)" in green, and are taken out of the anchors (never pinned). On base the `ASSUMED, NOT CONFIRMED` row was an assumed decision pinned to its step, so this is a regression for that row: an explicitly unconfirmed decision now reads as settled. `bin/gate-check.sh` (around L943-951) documents the identical bug in the gate and fixed it by requiring an exact CONFIRMED field. Fix: match a status that starts with CONFIRMED (the fixture uses `CONFIRMED 2026-09-02`) and has no ASSUMED in it, for example `/^\s*CONFIRMED\b/i.test(status) && !/ASSUMED/i.test(status)`, plus one T11 line with an `UNCONFIRMED` row and an `ASSUMED, NOT CONFIRMED` row. The same loop's `/consent/i` test, which decides whether a register row is "consented", has the mirror risk ("ASSUMED, no consent yet" reads as consented). Tightening it in the same change is cheap but optional.

## Your four observations, checked against the code

**1. "Not tied to one step (3)" with four groups.** Not a count bug. `offStep` holds 3 items in 3 groups (Decided in the project register, Money, Not placed yet). The fourth row, "Use cases that are not part of a process (1)", is a separate `<details>` that `renderIndex` appends from `D.standalone`. It is not part of `offStep`, and on base it already rendered there with the same styling and no heading of its own. The PR did not cause it, but the new group makes the mismatch easier to see. **Follow-up:** give the standalone use cases their own `h2`, or move them above the section.

**2. C3-01 "Decided (confirmed)" with subtitle "Assumption" and "not placed yet".**
- Subtitle: your screenshots (21:54) were taken before the head commit (22:00). At head, `qrow` shows "Decided in the project register" when text equals title, and my render (idx.png) shows exactly that. The "Assumption" subtitle is already fixed.
- The right-side "not placed yet" is still there at head: `whereLabel` returns "not placed yet" for any item with no targets, and CONFIRMED rows never have any by design. That reads as contradictory. **Follow-up:** say "project-wide" or leave it empty for `kind==='decision' && state==='answered'`.
- The red counter is **not** inflated by C3-01. `stats.unanchored` counts `ITEMS` only, and the CONFIRMED rows sit in `DECIDED`, which is concatenated only into the payload. The 1 in your shot is D3-02, the hosting row. T11's sed lengthens its text, so its fingerprint changes and its judged anchor drops. That is the real "Not placed yet" item. With the untouched fixture the counter is 0 and the tile does not render.

**3. Process card pins red 1, purple 1, green 2 merge teal into green.** Confirmed. `counts()` maps both `answered` and `cons` into `ans`, and the card and board pins draw `ans` with the green `answered` dot. The legend, rows and drawer cards do use teal. **Follow-up:** give teal its own `pc.cons` / `pin.cons` count, or say in the legend that pins merge both settled states. Nothing settled is shown as open, so this is cosmetic and not a must-fix.

**4. Red "not placed yet" header counter.** Pre-existing. The line `if (D.stats.unanchored) st.appendChild(h('div',{class:'stat warn'}...` is unchanged context in the diff and comes from #429. Unanchored items fail only `validate --strict`, not the build, so by the red-only-for-severe rule this should be neutral or amber. **Follow-up**, outside #458's scope.

## Rendered check (headless Chrome, 1440x2400, T11 fixture at head)

- idx.png: the header reads 1 open, 1 blocks, 3 to confirm, 3 answered or decided, 1 not placed yet. The legend has teal and green entries. C3-01 is green with subtitle "Decided in the project register".
- idx-open.png ("Open only" ticked through the real checkbox): the green pin disappears from the process card. The C3-01 row is hidden, but its group header "Decided in the project register (1)" stays as an empty expander, and the section title still says (3).
- drawer.png (step 3 "Open the order", clicked through the real step card): two cards. D3-01 is purple with Status "Assumed, waiting for confirmation (ASSUMED)". F001:Q02 is green with Question, We assume, **Answer**, **Status: Answered**, **Answered by: owner, 2026-10-17**. The process list shows the consented Q03 in teal with "Assumed, consented by owner, 2026-10-17".
- drawer-open.png (Open only plus the drawer): the answered Q02 card is hidden and only D3-01 remains. The process list below hides Q02 and Q03.

So the drawer rows exist and "Open only" hides answered and consented items, in the drawer, in the lists and on the pins.

## Follow-ups (not blocking the release)

1. "Use cases not part of a process" gets its own heading (obs. 1).
2. No "not placed yet" label on CONFIRMED register rows (obs. 2).

+- fix(process-map): answered and consented questions no longer show as open; answers, consent, options and CONFIRMED register rows reach the map, the header counts only what is still open, an Open only filter is added and long decision titles are cut at a word (#458) — MendixMau

 - fix(doctor): **`--install` picks the native arm64 mxcli on Windows ARM64 (falling back to amd64 for a pinned release without it), and the docs say `--install --yes` when there is no terminal.** Git Bash there runs emulated so `uname -m` says x86_64 and doctor fetched the amd64 .exe; the arch now also reads the `uname -s` -ARM64 suffix and PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432/PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE. Agents following the bare `--install` examples got "nothing downloaded" (#459) — MendixMau
 - fix(exec): **exec.sh restores the toolkit lint rules itself when mxcli's session-start sync has reverted them to stock, then lints, instead of ending the run BLIND.** mxcli's SessionStart hook runs `mxcli init --sync-skills`, which rewrites its bundled lint rules on every compaction and subagent start with no opt-out; a long Stage 5 lost lint each time until someone reran `sync-project.sh`. exec.sh now runs the installer's own classification (stock or receipt-matching copies restored, a hand edit never lost), re-runs lint once and says so on screen and in the BUILD-LOG row; `MXTK_NO_LINT_RESTORE=1` keeps the old BLIND behaviour. Test: `tests/wave2/test-exec-lint-autorestore.sh` (Fixes #461) — MendixMau
 - fix(exec): **the gate keeps mxbuild's full output in a per-run log and names it on screen and in the BUILD-LOG row.** exec.sh printed `head -20` of the output and deleted the rest, so the evidence of a failed gate (a CE1613 detail among it) was lost in a field migration project (12 modules). A gate that does not pass now writes `.mpr-snapshots/.mxbuild-logs/<run>.log` (newest 30 kept; a dot dir, so `restore-mpr.sh` and the snapshot pruning skip it; a clean or delta-gate pass writes none, and a retry always keeps the first attempt's output next to the second); the screen shows the top lines plus the path and the row ends with `mxbuild log: <path>`. Test: `tests/wave2/test-exec-gate-log.sh` (Refs #442, #448, #171, #285, #424) — field migration project

 - **actions**, **status**, **does** and **events** are what the reviewer reads as "what happens". Use microflow names in `actions`: they are also the strongest anchoring signal.
 - **questions** (optional): a consolidated questions file (look under the analysis questions folder; omit the key when the project keeps none), an array or `{ "questions": [...] }` with `cid`, `title`, `question`, `blocking`, `assumption`, `risk`, `askWho`, `sources: [{ "brd", "id" }]`. Without it, each BRD open question is its own item.
 - **register** (optional, default `PROJECT.md`): any table with a Decision and a Status column. Rows whose status says ASSUMED become decision items. Expect many of them to be build plan and environment decisions; most end in a global bucket.
+- **What each state looks like.** A BRD question shows as answered (green, with the answer on the row and the card), as assumed and consented (teal, with who agreed), as assumed and waiting for confirmation (purple), or as open (amber, red when it blocks the build). A consolidated question takes its state from the BRD questions it lists: answered only when every one is answered. The header counts only what is still open; answered and decided items get their own tile, and the "Open only" filter hides them.
+- **CONFIRMED register rows are shown as decided, on purpose.** They appear green in the "Decided in the project register" group at the bottom, so a reviewer sees what is settled. They are never pinned to a step and never need an anchor, so they add nothing to the unanchored count.
 - **ignorePages** (optional): a list of wireframe pages (`Module.Page`, short name or filename) that are layout sketches, not screens. They need no step and do not trigger the "wireframe on no step" warning. A name that matches no wireframe warns. On an existing app the wireframe index and the navigation pages usually belong here.
 - **brdDirs** (optional): the folders that hold the `*.brd.json` files. Default search: `analysis/knowledge-base/brd`, `analysis/*/knowledge-base/brd`, `knowledge-base/brd`. A use case not found lists the folders searched; set `brdDirs` when yours is elsewhere.

 logs in brd-report and the progress report (#462)

fix(windows): MSYS paths and Claude Code session logs on Windows (#460). Independent review: CHANGES, three must-fixes fixed in cdb03d14. Confirmed on a Windows Git Bash machine: report finds the project's session log (2 sessions, 51 sub-agents, cost shown) where the release found 1 session and 0 sub-agents.

# PR #462 review, round 1

PR: fix(windows): Git Bash MSYS paths and Windows session logs in brd-report and the progress report
Base: release/v1.0, head 4f91d06c (fix/windows-msys-paths), fixes #460.
Reviewed in a detached worktree (/tmp/rv462), nothing pushed.

## Verdict: CHANGES (small)

The PR fixes the likely field cause of "No Claude Code session log was found". Three small items should land before 1.0; all are one to five lines.

### Root cause, as traced

- `build-plan-status.sh` passes `$ROOT` (Git Bash `pwd`, so `/c/work/proj`) as an ARGUMENT, which MSYS rewrites to `C:/work/proj`. The old code then built `abspath -> C:\work\proj -> slug C--work-proj`, so the slug was most likely already right in the field.
- The real miss is `session_in_project`: it compared the raw JSON text of `"cwd"` (`C:\\work\\proj`, escaped) with `C:\work\proj`. That never matches, so every own-folder log was rejected. The PR unescapes with `json.loads` and compares through `path_key` (slashes folded, case folded on Windows). This is the fix that matters, and it is correct.
- The byte needle (doubled backslashes, `re.I` on Windows), the case-insensitive `own_dir` slug match (VS Code launches often record `c:\...` and slug `c--...`), the cache root, the warm/cold paths and `touches` (via `under`) are all covered. `fix_msys` on argv is defensive only (useful under `MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1`).
- Likely correction to the issue and the portable.sh comment: MSYS2 (and Git for Windows) DOES convert environment variables whose value starts like a POSIX path, but only the leading path. The issue's own error names `F002.brd.json`, not F001: the first line of the newline-joined `BRD_FILES` got converted, the second did not. So the risky shape is a newline-joined path list (or a path inside a string, or read back from a pipe), not "any env var".

## Must-fix

1. `project-bin/progress-report.py:367` `root_forms`: on Windows add the MSYS spelling of each drive root (`C:\work\proj` -> `/c/work/proj`). Claude Code on Windows runs its Bash tool through Git Bash, so `cd /c/work/proj && ...` is common in commands. Today `needle_for` and the Bash regex in `touches` miss it (verified: `touches("Bash", {"command": "cd /c/work/demo && ls"}, None, roots, True)` returns False, needle does not match). Sessions started in another folder that work on the project through Bash are not found. The needle and the touches regex pick the new form up automatically. Add one check to the test.
2. `bin/extraction-report.sh:114`: same shape as the brd-report bug. `KB_DIRS=$(discover_kbs "$PROJECT_DIR")` is a newline-joined list handed to Python in an env var; with more than one knowledge base the second and later dirs stay `/c/...`. Add `PROJECT_DIR="$(native_path "$PROJECT_DIR")"` (and `HTML_OUT`) after the directory check, as in brd-report.sh. Stage 1/2 gate artifact (gate-check.sh line 859).
3. `bin/facts-lock.sh:62`: same shape (`KBS` newline list in env, read with `splitlines()`), Stage 2 checklist item in `skills/brd-generation.md:353`. Not in the PR's call-site list. One line `PROJECT_DIR="$(native_path "$PROJECT_DIR")"` before line 62; portable.sh is already sourced.

If items 2 and 3 are kept out of this PR to stay narrow, they need their own PR merged into release/v1.0 before the tag; they are the same bug a Windows user hits in Stage 2.

## Checked and fine

- macOS/Linux: `IS_WIN = os.name == "nt"`; every new helper takes `win=None -> IS_WIN`, so non-Windows behaviour is the old one: no `re.I`, no case fold, no extra root forms. `real_path` only short-circuits a drive path on a non-nt host (test hook), so realpath still runs for POSIX paths. Symlinked `/tmp -> /private/tmp`: slug still from realpath as before, found a log under `-private-tmp-...` (checked). Only theoretical change: `path_key` turns `\` into `/` on POSIX too, harmless for real paths.
- brd-report.sh: conversion happens before `discover_brds`, so the discovered file list is already `C:/...`; `--html` too. Off Windows `native_path` is a no-op (test asserts cygpath is never called).
- native_path duplication: `bin/lib/portable.sh` (uname) vs `project-bin/_common.sh` (mxtk_platform: OSTYPE then uname). Same output, both fall back to the input when cygpath is missing or fails. Duplication is justified (portable.sh is toolkit-side, never copied into projects; _common.sh is the project twin). doctor.sh sources both; the later definition wins and the behaviour is equivalent. Without cygpath the path stays `/c/...`, so it fails as before but does not crash; Git Bash always ships cygpath.
- `cygpath -m -- "$1"`: `--` is accepted by cygpath's getopt.
- `TOOLKIT_BIN="$HERE"` in brd-report.sh is a single path in env, so MSYS converts it; not a bug.
- Style: the only em dash in added lines is the CHANGELOG `— MendixMau` credit. No client or project names (leakguard clean with the repo denylist). Issue text is neutral.
- PR body is honest about what cannot be verified without a Windows machine.

## Nice-to-haves

- `project-bin/progress-report.py:496`: Python's realpath on Windows turns a mapped network drive (or a subst drive) into a UNC path, while Claude Code slugs the drive path it was launched in. Match `own_dir` against `slug(real_path(proj))` AND `slug(abspath(proj))`. Common on managed corporate machines (H: home drives).
- `project-bin/progress-report.py:405/428`: `tool_share` does not take or pass `win`, so the "started elsewhere" path cannot be tested with Windows inputs on macOS. Thread `win` through and add one test log in another slug folder with a Windows `file_path`.
- MSYS2's own Python (`sys.platform` "msys"/"cygwin", `os.name` "posix") would get `IS_WIN = False` and slug `-c-work-proj`. Rare (Git for Windows ships no Python, resolve_py finds the native one), but `IS_WIN = os.name == "nt" or sys.platform in ("msys", "cygwin")` plus a cygpath call is the complete form.
- `real_path` takes `win` and ignores it; drop the parameter or use it.
- `--rates` is not in the `fix_msys` argv list (harmless: MSYS converts argv anyway; just for consistency).
- Reword the portable.sh comment (line 66) and the PR body's call-site paragraph: single-path env vars are converted by MSYS; the risk is newline-joined lists, paths embedded in strings and paths read back from a pipe. Re-triage the listed call sites with that rule; most of the listed ones pass a single path and are likely fine.

 ## Unreleased
 
+- fix(windows): **Git Bash MSYS paths no longer break `brd-report.sh` and the progress report's session lookup.** A native Windows Python cannot open `/c/work/proj`; `brd-report.sh` now converts the project dir and `--html` through a new `native_path` (`cygpath -m` on MINGW/MSYS, a no-op elsewhere), and `progress-report.py` turns an MSYS path into `C:/...`, builds the log-folder slug from the Windows path, reads `"cwd"` records written with escaped backslashes or forward slashes, and compares case-insensitively on Windows, so the page shows time, token and cost figures again. Test: `tests/wave2/test-windows-msys-paths.sh` (Fixes #460) — MendixMau
 - fix(process-map): answered and consented questions no longer show as open; answers, consent, options and CONFIRMED register rows reach the map, the header counts only what is still open, an Open only filter is added and long decision titles are cut at a word (#458) — MendixMau
 
 - fix(doctor): **`--install` picks the native arm64 mxcli on Windows ARM64 (falling back to amd64 for a pinned release without it), and the docs say `--install --yes` when there is no terminal.** Git Bash there runs emulated so `uname -m` says x86_64 and doctor fetched the amd64 .exe; the arch now also reads the `uname -s` -ARM64 suffix and PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432/PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE. Agents following the bare `--install` examples got "nothing downloaded" (#459) — MendixMau

Subject: [PATCH 18/18] docs(release): v1.0 notes, performance first (#428)

The 1.0 release notes, rewritten performance first: speed and measured effect come first, followed by the settings you control, context packs, reports, the process map, learnings, fixes and known gaps.

Review: independent review MERGE-AFTER-FIX, then a re-review MERGE at 3ef0c37.
- All 73 cited PRs are merged.
- The with/without-toolkit figures were re-derived from tests/behaviour/results/2026-10-15-*.tsv, and the #395 bug-lookup rates match its body.
- Fixed in 3ef0c37:
  - dropped the withdrawn context-pack token claim (771eb97);
  - moved the A/B paragraph to "Does the toolkit help?";
  - led the bug-lookup bullet with held-out;
  - replaced the unsourced "sixty questions" and "almost 9 times";
  - nine reports from Joshua, not ten;
  - cited #385 and #183;
  - added the progress-report and permission-profile settings rows;
  - added #220, #292, #391, #271, #265 and #407 as highlights;
  - kept the "review of PR #434" CHANGELOG credit.
- The #462 figure traces to #462's squash commit 2d80287.
- Added-line client-name scan: 0 hits. Leak guard, routing and pr-discipline are clean.

 - fix(windows): **Git Bash MSYS paths no longer break `brd-report.sh` and the progress report's session lookup.** A native Windows Python cannot open `/c/work/proj`; `brd-report.sh` now converts the project dir and `--html` through a new `native_path` (`cygpath -m` on MINGW/MSYS, a no-op elsewhere), and `progress-report.py` turns an MSYS path into `C:/...`, builds the log-folder slug from the Windows path, reads `"cwd"` records written with escaped backslashes or forward slashes, and compares case-insensitively on Windows, so the page shows time, token and cost figures again. Test: `tests/wave2/test-windows-msys-paths.sh` (Fixes #460) — MendixMau
 - fix(process-map): answered and consented questions no longer show as open; answers, consent, options and CONFIRMED register rows reach the map, the header counts only what is still open, an Open only filter is added and long decision titles are cut at a word (#458) — MendixMau

Source: a personal licence-budget gate written after parallel journey runs hit both — MendixMau
 - fix(progress-report): **the full plan tables (one table per phase plus views A and B) now sit in one closed `<details>` card below the phase cards, so a large plan no longer pushes the rest of the report off screen; the phase cards above stay the summary, and nothing is written when the project has no plan fragment.** Test: P6 in `test-progress-report-polish.sh` — MendixMau

+- docs(release): **`docs/releases/v1.0.md` rewritten to the maintainer's structure: performance first (testing at key moments with the measured numbers), the settings a project owner controls, context packs, everything else, how to update.** Docs only; no routed or always-loaded file touched. — MendixMau
 - fix(release-review): **the v1.0 release review: the multilingual skill loses its em and en dashes (wording only, content unchanged; its routing row keeps the trigger separator the agent stubs cut on), `doctor.sh` warns when a hook copy in `~/.claude/hooks` calls a toolkit script that no longer exists (it names the script and says to re-run `bin/install-claude-hooks.sh --full`; a warning, never a failure), and the `.gitignore` line for `.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` now also reaches a project checked out as a git worktree (`.git` is a file there) in `doctor.sh` and `sync-project.sh`; `check-ignore --no-index` stops the line being appended again when the file is already tracked, and a `git rm --cached` hint is printed.** Tests: new `test-doctor-stale-hooks.sh`; worktree and tracked-file cases added to `test-progress-report-gitignore.sh`. CHANGELOG tidy (a stray blank line, one credit). — MendixMau
-- fix(progress-report): **round 6 of the review: the session cache is machine-local and tied to its project, the first cached run is not slower than a cold one, and the build ledger decides the Stage 4 to 5 switch.** (1) `.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` holds absolute session-log paths, so `init-project.sh`, `doctor.sh` and `sync-project.sh` now put `/.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` in the project's `.gitignore`, the way they do for the doctor receipt and `toolkit.env`. (2) The cache header records the project's real path and the attribution rules (25% of tool calls, 20 calls); a copied or moved project, or a changed threshold, reads it as cold, so a copy never lists the original's sessions. (3) Files skipped by the 300-file cap are recorded as `no`, so a cached run never reads more files than a cold one. (4) With rows in `metrics-ledger.tsv` (else BUILD-LOG) the switch comes from the ledger; an earlier exec.sh call or build skill in a session log is ignored, the timed sign-off rule stays, and the footer says how the switch is chosen.

 - fix(progress-report): **polish on a fresh and an updated demo project: a "done <date>" plan row counts as built in the card, the plan header and the phase badge alike; a placeholder gate failure on a stage after the current one reads PENDING, not FAIL; the no-session-log notice is one calm line with the regenerate hint inside "How this was measured"; the test-moments table says unit tests run for the flows chosen at CAC-5, not "when switched on".** — field review of the #434 report

 - fix(progress-report): **round 5 of the field test: "building now" marks the phase of the last successful build step (its mdlsource folder, else the script name matched to the plan, else the highest active phase; blocked steps and earlier amber rows do not move it); discovery of sessions from other folders counts only tool calls that operate on the project (at least 25% of a session's calls and at least 20, gaps over 30 minutes cut, sessions that run progress-report.py excluded, text mentions never count) and lists the sessions used in a collapsed element; a Stage 4 sign-off row with a date but no time puts the Stage 5 switch at the first build activity on or after that date (marked inferred) instead of midnight; the exec log is now the primary source for build activity: `.claude/loop/metrics-ledger.tsv` (written by exec.sh, UTC shown as local time) gives the Stage 5 build facts with or without a session log (runs, applied, failed, blocked, restored, exec time, wall span, runs per phase, latest model score, share of exec time lost to failed or restored runs), the last build step, the building-now phase and the Stage 4 to 5 switch, with BUILD-LOG and then session activity as fallbacks; docs/progress/TIME-LEDGER.md is an optional hand-written extra and its reader maps columns by each table's header.** Tests F10 (existing-project fixture) and F11 (older toolkit, then sync-project.sh) added. — MendixMau

-
-## Highlights
-
-### Every merge is reviewed by someone who did not write it
-
-A PR now gets an independent review (MERGE / MERGE-AFTER-FIX / HOLD, on value, regression risk
-after sync, correctness and context cost) before it lands; green CI and the author's own report no
-longer count as one. Nine PRs had merged on 2026-10-13 without one
-([#316](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/316)). Several fixes in this
-release came out of those reviews (the exec lock race, the final-LOOK timing, the
-`test-stack-up` exit codes).
-
-**For you:** what reaches your project on `git pull` has been read by a second reviewer, not just
-tested by its author.
-
-### Less text in every session
-
-The always-loaded skill tier had reached 79,997 words against an 80,000-word cap. Incident stories
-moved behind pointers into `process/baseline-incident-history.md` and the tier dropped to 76,259
-words with no rule removed ([#315](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/315)).
-New rule: room is made by moving text, never by deleting rules. `change-intake.md` became a
-331-word core with an on-demand detail file
-([#327](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/327)), dispatch guidance moved to
-its own small file ([#320](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/320)), a
-scaffolded `CLAUDE.local.md` is 17% shorter
-([#292](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/292)), routing in
-`CLAUDE.local.md` carries triggers only
-([#226](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/226)), helper stubs read about 18%
-less per dispatch ([#223](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/223)), and a
-build helper can get one context-pack file per build step instead of a reading list
-([#198](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/198)).
-
-**For you:** run `bin/sync-project.sh` and existing projects pick up the shorter wiring; sessions
-start with less to read.
-
-### `exec.sh`: per-project lock, restart verdicts, safer restarts
-
-In a 20-task field run, 57 of 148 `exec.sh` runs applied nothing, and a machine-wide guard blocked
-writes because a *different* project was writing. `exec.sh` now locks per project with a stale-lock
-takeover, offers an opt-in `--commit-first`, and ends every applied script with a verdict: restart
-needed, watch can apply this, or unknown
-([#304](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/304),
-[#324](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/324)). The review of #304 found the
-takeover could let up to three contenders hold the lock; it is now serialised, and a fixture runs
-10 rounds of 12 contenders and asserts at most one holder. New `bin/app-restart.sh` (#304) restarts only
-this project's own `mxcli run --local`; since
-[#322](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/322) it also refuses over a leftover `mxcli test` injection.
-
-**For you:** two projects on one machine no longer block each other, and the agent is told when a
-change needs an app restart instead of guessing.
-
-### Lint you can trust and tune

-TXT001/TXT002/UI001, and Batch 4 with **SEC014** (an external role that can write status, audit or ownership members) and a
-CONV009 that reads its `maxObjects` option
-([#238](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/238),
-[#248](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/248),
-[#270](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/270),
-[#305](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/305),
-[#312](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/312)). When `mxcli init` reverts
-toolkit rules to stock, the lint gate now stops as **BLIND** instead of blaming the next script
-for the jump, and sync restores them
-([#308](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/308)). Turning a rule off has one
-supported route (`enabled: false` in `lint-config.yaml`, recorded in `PROJECT.md`). A metrics
-ledger records outcome, speed, lint total and `mxcli report` score for every exec
-([#265](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/265)).
-
-**For you:** SEC014 asks one question (which roles are external) and prints a NOTE until you
-answer it.
-
-### End-to-end proof that fails for the right reason
-
-The journey runner preflights the suite (a refused admin credential aborts before the first
-journey) and journeys can declare `requires` / `leaves` / `consumes`
-([#302](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/302)). OQL rows are read by SELECT
-alias, an app that dies mid-suite reads APP-DOWN rather than FAIL, and negative-only claims get a
-liveness reference ([#310](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/310)).
-`test-stack-up.sh` identifies this project's own `run --local` by its command line
-([#319](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/319)). Re-runs are scoped to what
-a change touched, UI-only changes get a light lane, and unit tests are off by default
-([#290](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/290)). The page-fidelity scorer
-matches what a page displays, on whole words
-([#318](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/318)).
-
-**For you:** fewer false reds from the harness, and less time re-proving changes nobody touched.
-**Check after upgrading:** `oqlScalar` now returns the first SELECT alias.
-
-### Stage 3 designs how users reach each page
-
-Stage 3 now writes `design/interaction-model.md` before the first wireframe: a home per role, an
-inbox per user task, and for each page how it is reached and what it receives. Every wireframe
-opens with a contract block ([#317](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/317),
-part 1 of [#291](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/issues/291)). Three apps had
-passed every gate while one rooted 8 pages on a parameterless retrieve and gave all 6 roles one
-home page.
-
-**For you:** navigation and page-parameter defects surface at design time, when they are cheap.
-
-### Changing an existing app: delivery rounds and mid-build changes
-
-In change-an-existing-app mode, `bin/status.sh` reports the delivery round from a `## Rounds`
-table in `PROJECT.md`, drops noise that does not apply there, and counts targeted manual Studio
-Pro steps written from `templates/manual-steps.md`
-([#326](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/326)). In every mode, feedback
-typed mid-build is logged as a change-log row in `PROJECT.md` before any edit, and the
-requirement or design is changed before the MDL
-([#306](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/306)). A final whole-app LOOK is
-now owed at Stage 6 ([#303](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/303),
-[#321](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/321)).
-
-**For you:** "where are we" has an answer in rounds, not a stage number that never moves.
-

+and changes to a live app, or a la carte to audit and test an app you already have.
+
+1.0 is the first named milestone on top of the release train. Its cut is tagged `v2026.10.19`,
+the first tag published to GitHub, and the GitHub Release on that tag is titled "1.0". Earlier
+dated headings in the CHANGELOG were never pushed as tags. All 1.0 work merged into the
+`release/v1.0` branch while master stayed frozen; that branch then merged to master, where the
+cut and its tag were made. Every PR named below has merged, some through the integration batch
+[#329](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/329). Every line traces to an entry in
+[`CHANGELOG.md`](../../CHANGELOG.md) or to a linked PR. How milestones relate to tags:
+[`docs/RELEASE-PROCESS.md`](../RELEASE-PROCESS.md) §8.
+
+## 1. Performance improvements
+
+### Does the toolkit help?
+
+`tests/behaviour/` gives the mdl helper the same drafting tasks with the toolkit's rules and
+without them ([#389](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/389),
+`tests/behaviour/results/2026-10-15-*.tsv`). 5 runs per arm is a small sample. Without the
+toolkit, no run refused a planted bad binding (a page task that asks to bind a system attribute,
+AutoChangedBy): 0 of 5, against 5 of 5 with it. No page draft passed `mxcli check` (0 of 5,
+against 2 to 3 of 5), 1 of 5 microflow drafts passed (against 5 of 5), and 2 of 5 committed
+inside a loop (against 0 of 5). Tool calls were not compared. The runs without the toolkit still
+inherited the host project's own CLAUDE.md (a generic mxcli guide), so this compares the
+toolkit's rules against an ordinary mxcli setup, not against no guidance. Every PR that changes
+always-loaded text or an agent stub is to run the suite base against head before merge, and the
+without-toolkit arm reruns at each release cut.
+
+### Testing at key moments
+
+A twenty-task UX-fix retro measured what testing every change costs
+([#274](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/issues/274)): UI-only changes were
+re-proven 5 to 10 times (their own journey, the regression journeys of 4 to 5 other modules,
+reviewer re-runs), a full `mxcli test` took about 6 minutes at every batch close, and 143 minutes
+of unit tests found stale strings and credential problems, not logic bugs.
+The toolkit now runs tests at fixed moments and keeps a change small. Per change, the build gate
+plus what the change touched. The full run happens once when the build is complete and once
+before every later deploy. Unit tests are off by default and switched on only where logic needs them
+([#290](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/290),
+[#417](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/417)). They are chosen per flow: a module brief lists the
+`Unit flows:` worth a test, one line each with a reason, and `affected-tests.sh` runs only the
+listed flows a change touched. That follows the maintainer's policy that unit-testing everything
+is overkill: logic and integrations get unit tests, and UI journeys catch the rest
+([#435](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/435), [#436](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/436)).
+
+| Moment | What runs |
+|---|---|
+| Every change (build and feedback) | The gate, plus what the change touched |
+| Module done | That module's journeys, plus its listed unit flows |
+| Build complete | Everything, once |
+| Before every later deploy | Everything, once again |
+| You ask | Everything |
+
+"What the change touched" comes from the script itself: `./bin/affected-tests.sh <script.mdl>` lists
+the unit tests and journeys a change owes, from the elements the script writes and the flows
+that call them
+([#416](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/416)). On three real change
+scripts in a five-app project it selected 0 to 1 of 20 journey files and 0 to 1 unit test files
+per change. It is advisory and exits 0. It also reports `journeys unmapped N of M` for journey
+files that name-based selection cannot reach (12 of the 20 held no qualified name), so an empty
+selection is never read as "nothing owed". `exec.sh` prints the `affected tests:` hint on every
+MDL run. The first call takes about 19 seconds (it builds the mxcli catalog), later calls about 3
+seconds.
+
+### Other speed items

+- **A pasted error finds its bug-ledger entry.** `bin/bug-lookup.sh` now ranks ledger entries
+  against the whole pasted error message, offline and with no embeddings. On a held-out set
+  written before the ranker ran, the right entry is in the top 3 for 100% of queries (12
+  positives), up from 0% for the old keyword match; on the development set, which was also used
+  for tuning, 94%, up from 9%. It can still give a confident wrong answer: 3 of 18 held-out
+  queries, all errors with no CE code and no ledger entry, and 3 of 40 development queries. A
+  better no-match test is a follow-up
+  ([#395](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/395)).
+- **Where an exec spends its time.** The run summary and `docs/BUILD-LOG.md` now carry per-step
+  seconds (`steps: guards Ns check Ns snapshot Ns baseline Ns exec Ns gate Ns lint Ns score Ns`),
+  and a run whose gate fails keeps its gate seconds. Those failed or rolled-back runs were 47 of
+  238 rows in the measured project and its costliest 20%. The timing costs about 0.2 seconds per
+  exec, 0.5 to 0.7% of a 28 to 41 second exec
+  ([#413](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/413)).
+- **Fewer build rows.** A `BUILD` row is now one use case, and a script is the rollback unit.
+  Two Stage 4 runs on the same requirements had produced 137 and 246 rows (2.5 rows per use
+  case); build cost followed the row count, 11 versus 25 model calls per row and about 11 versus
+  about 40 hours. A Stage 4 A/B on two fixture modules (22 use cases) gave 1.05 rows per use case
+  with the new text and 2.27 to 2.45 with the old.
+- **Stage 5 drafts in parallel.** Every build-plan row whose dependencies are applied, minus rows
+  that write the same document, is drafted at once, one helper per script. Applies stay one at a
+  time through `bin/exec.sh`, and the ready set is recomputed after each
+  ([#343](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/343)).
+- **Less to read at the start.** The always-loaded skill tier went from 79,997 to 76,259 words
+  with no rule removed
+  ([#315](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/315)). A helper reads only the
+  baseline rows for its own role. The mdl helper at Stage 5 went from 56,236 to 43,599 words
+  (the runbook slice for its stage) and then to 30,647 (a routing row on demand for one role)
+  ([#385](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/385)).
+  Routing tables are trigger lists, so a session no longer re-reads the whole runbook (about 24k
+  tokens) on every later call
+  ([#183](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/183)). At release the
+  always-loaded tier stands at 73,682 words (`bin/render-routing.sh --check`).
+- **The app map refreshes only what changed.** On a 17,500-unit app the loop sweep re-described
+  every loop-containing microflow: 1,917 describes in 2 hours 45 minutes at 6 workers, while about
+  80 units had changed between rounds. It now describes only changed units. On a synthetic
+  2,000-unit app with 1% changed that is 20 describes instead of 2,000, and `bin/status.sh` shows
+  how stale the map is. No field run of the incremental sweep yet.
+- **The UI loop skips a redundant build and waits on the page.** `exec.sh` ran two mxbuilds per
+  exec. It now skips the baseline mxbuild when the model is byte-identical to its last clean pass.
+  Journeys and the page audit wait on the page's own state instead of a fixed sleep: a fast page
+  settles in 775 ms instead of 1,200, and a page with a 1.8 second progress bar is no longer
+  captured half-loaded. In the field run that prompted it, `exec.sh` took 22% of tool time
+  ([#220](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/220)).
+- **Helpers are dispatched on purpose.** In a measured 20-task run, 15 of 21 top-tier helpers
+  were on that tier only because they inherited the lead's model: 7.2% of all tokens.
+  `agent-roles.md` now says to name the model tier on every call, start scans as fresh agents
+  instead of forks, give a fix round to a fresh fixer, and batch notices
+  ([#292](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/292)).
+- **Nine routing triggers that never fired are fixed.** An audit ranked 55 labelled phrasings
+  against each routing row's trigger. The right row was in the top 3 for 46 of 55. Nine
+  triggers now start with the words people type, and the right row is in the top 3 for 55 of 55
+  ([#391](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/391), audit in
+  [#394](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/394)).
+- **Context packs** cut helper tool calls and time; see section 3.
+
+## 2. Settings you control
+
+These are the settings a project owner controls: what runs and when, how much the agent
+asks, and what it is allowed to touch. They survive `git pull` and `bin/sync-project.sh`.
+
+| What you want | The line or command | Where it lives |
+|---|---|---|
+| Unit tests across the project | `Unit tests default: no` (the default) or `yes` | `PROJECT.md`, intake Q13 |
+| Unit tests for one module | Set the Unit row of the module brief's Test plan to `yes` and name why: `\| Unit (.test.mdl) \| yes \| <the calculation, mapping, Java or REST logic, or the fixed bug> \|` | `architecture/modules/<Module>/module-brief.md`, `skills/module-brief.md` |
+| What runs at each moment | `## Test strategy` table, offered at CAC-5 (architecture and offer, before the build). Status `CONFIRMED`, or `ASSUMED` in auto mode. Change any cell in your answer to the offer | `PROJECT.md`, `checkpoint-build.md` |
+| Everything, now | Say "run everything". The full suite runs once on request | in chat |
+| Which flows get a unit test | List them in the module brief as `Unit flows:`, one `- ACT_X: reason` line each. A list wins for its module even under `Unit tests default: yes` | `architecture/modules/<Module>/module-brief.md` |
+| Per-change test selection depth | `./bin/affected-tests.sh <script> --depth N`, or `MXTK_AFFECTED_DEPTH` (default 1) | shell |
+| Context packs | `Context packs: on` (default), `no-brain` or `off`; `MXTK_CONTEXT_PACKS` for one command | `PROJECT.md` |
+| When the progress report is written | `Progress report: off \| ask \| auto`, default `ask`. `off` never writes the page; `ask` and `auto` set whether the agent asks first or opens it at a stage gate or module close ([#434](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/434)) | `PROJECT.md` |
+| Ask before each exec | `bin/exec-approval.sh <project> --set auto` (default) or `--set ask`; `--clear` removes it | `.mxtk/exec-approval`, or `Exec approval:` in `PROJECT.md` |
+| Claude Code permission prompts | `Permission profile: project` (the default), `wrappers` or `full`, intake Q12; `bin/permission-profile.sh <project> --set <profile>` overrides it ([#216](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/216)) | `PROJECT.md`, or `.mxtk/permission-profile` |
+| Fewer or more questions | `bin/interview-mode.sh <project> --set steering\|assist\|auto` | `Interview mode:` in `PROJECT.md` |
+| Keep sync from restoring the look-ledger hook | Create the file `.mxtk/no-hook-repair` | project root |
+| Check staged files for real secret values | `bin/check-staged-secrets.sh` (staged blobs) or `--tree` (everything tracked). Opt-in; not part of the pre-commit hook | project |
+| Install only some scripts on sync | `bin/sync-project.sh <project> --only-bin <script.sh>` | toolkit clone |
+| Commit before an exec that needs a clean model | `bin/exec.sh --commit-first` | shell |
+| Longer verify-module rungs on a big app | `VM_TMO_GRAPH`, `VM_TMO_COVERAGE`, `VM_TMO_JOURNEYS` (defaults 300, 300, 900 seconds) | shell |
+| A lint rule off | `enabled: false` under `rules:` in `.claude/lint-config.yaml`, recorded in `PROJECT.md` | project |
+
+The test strategy and the unit default are two settings. The strategy says when a test set runs.
+The unit default says whether unit tests exist in that set. `affected` selects from the tests
+that exist and does not ask for new ones.
+
+## 3. Context packs
+
+A helper that builds one step of a module used to get a reading list. With context packs it gets
+one file ([#198](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/198)). The module brief has a `### Build steps` table, one row per dispatch: what the step
+builds, which existing elements it reads, the app's own example to copy, and the `mxcli brain`
+slice. `bin/context-pack.sh <Module> <Step>` turns that row into a pack made of the folder from
+the brief's folder plan, the why from `mxcli brain brief`, the brief's architecture constraints,
+and a live `DESCRIBE` of every element the step reads, of the example, and of anything it
+changes. The pack also lists the rule files the step must read, the attributes a `TEXTBOX`
+cannot bind on a page step (mxcli `check` passes them, `mx check` fails with CE2421), and the
+`mxcli impact` list when the step changes an existing element. The pack is regenerated per
+dispatch and never committed.
+
+**Why it helps, as measured.** On a real app's scratch copy, 3 helper runs with a pack against 3
+without, same brief and brain: about 40% fewer tool calls (13 against 21) and about 40% less
+time (60 seconds against 101). The token saving is not proven: token counts were too noisy at
+these run counts. Every run passed
+`mxcli check` and executed with no new mx errors. Page steps with the later pack used about 25%
+fewer tool calls and about 30% less time (n=2 each, too few runs to quote tokens).
+
+**The switch.** `Context packs: on | no-brain | off` in `PROJECT.md`, default `on`.
+`no-brain` leaves out the `mxcli brain` section. `off` makes `context-pack.sh` exit 3 and the
+dispatcher falls back to the reading list in `iterative-build-loop.md`, so a CLI change that
+breaks `DESCRIBE` or `brain brief` is switched off with one line in `PROJECT.md`.
+
+**Older briefs.** A module brief with no `### Build steps` table, written before packs existed,
+also exits 3 and falls back to the reading list ([#202](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/202)). A project mid-build keeps going after a pull
+without retrofitting its briefs.
+
+## 4. Everything else
+
+### Reports and visibility
+
+- **One progress report replaces `build-plan.html`.** `architecture/progress-report.html` is a
+  single self-contained page. It keeps what the old page showed (phases, built and proven) and
+  adds stages P to 6 with links to their artifacts, a progress bar and a stage nav
+  ([#434](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/434)).
+  - Session logs are optional. Without one, time and token data are marked unavailable. With a
+    Claude Code session log it adds time per stage, sub-agent use, context size and an estimated
+    token and cost figure.
+  - A session cache makes a refresh take about a second.
+  - Autoreload keeps your scroll position, and only runs while a build is active.
+  - Tips sit in a side column, grouped by theme and collapsed by default, with calm severity.
+  - An old `build-plan.html` is still accepted and never deleted.
+  - When no session log is found, the page shows one calm line, and the details sit under "How
+    this was measured"
+    ([#454](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/454)).
+  - A plan row marked "done <date>" counts as built, both in the card and in the plan table
+    ([#454](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/454)).
+  - A sign-off placeholder that is still unfilled on a later stage shows PENDING instead of FAIL
+    ([#454](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/454)).
+  - Every plan State the build-plan skill lists (built, partial, not built, blocked) reads the same
+    in the phase card, the plan header and the phase badge. Partial rows show the phase as in
+    progress, and blocked rows count as not built
+    ([#456](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/456)).
+  - The full plan tables (one per phase, plus views A and B) sit in one closed fold below the
+    phase cards, so a large plan no longer pushes the rest of the report off screen
+    ([#457](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/457)).
+- **`build-plan.json` stays current.** `build-plan-status.sh --refresh` updates an existing
+  `build-plan.json`, so a day of building no longer reads as 0 built
+  ([#437](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/437)).
+- **A bug log you can file safely.** `docs/bugs.jsonl` per project and `bin/file-bugs.sh`, which
+  redacts every title and body, searches for duplicates, and posts only after you confirm each
+  bug at a terminal ([#433](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/433)).
+- **Studio Pro History shows CLI commits.** History reads a git note that Studio Pro writes, and
+  the toolkit told CLI pushes to write an empty one, so a field project showed "Model changes 0"
+  for 270 of 270 commits. A post-commit hook now writes the note from the changed units, and
+  `mx-metadata-note.py sync` publishes it
+  ([#271](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/271)).
+- **A build metrics ledger.** Every `exec.sh` run adds a row to
+  `.claude/loop/metrics-ledger.tsv`: outcome, time, mxbuild errors, lint total and the
+  `mxcli report` score. `metrics-trend.sh` summarises it. The score costs about 7 seconds after a
+  clean mxbuild, and `MXTK_NO_SCORE=1` skips it
+  ([#265](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/265)).
+- **Change requests stay visible.** A change request updates the module brief and shows as
+  "waiting" at session start and module close until it is built
+  ([#430](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/430)).
+
+### Process map and BRD report
+
+- **Process map.** One swimlane map per business process, each step on its wireframe once
+  screens exist, every open question and `ASSUMED` decision pinned to the step it is about. It is
+  drawn twice: a draft at Stage 2 close (shown at CAC-3) and the full map at Stage 3. In its
+  field run the map placed all 102 pinnable items, 19 of them under the whole app and none
+  unplaced ([#429](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/429)).
+- **BRD report with the map on top.** The Stage 2 report opens with the process map and lists
+  requirements and open questions under it, each tied to its step. A click on a step filters the
+  list, and what no step covers stays under "whole app". `open-questions.html` is retired, and
+  the Stage 3 prototype and the map link to each other
+  ([#438](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/438)).
+- **Follow-ups.** Migrating an old anchors file no longer trusts a regex: it checks what changed,
+  says what it did, accepts a string `targets`, and lists unfilled entries instead of dropping
+  them ([#453](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/453)).
+- **The map counts only what is still open.** Answered questions show their answer, an assumption
+  the owner agreed to has its own colour, and `CONFIRMED` decisions from the project register,
+  which the map used to leave out, are listed as decided. An "Open only" filter hides the settled
+  items. A field map had said "50 open questions" when every one was answered or assumed with the
+  owner's consent ([#465](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/465)).
+
+### Skills learned
+
+- **`rest-between-mendix-apps`**: for two or more Mendix apps that read each other over REST. A
+  contract to write down before the first script, 17 publisher and consumer rules, and a
+  six-rung cross-app test ladder
+  ([#273](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/273)).
+- **`demo-recording-polish`**: 60 fps capture, a drawn cursor with a click ripple, eased scroll,
+  and a zoom rendered after the take, so re-framing re-renders the same take
+  ([#404](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/404)).
+- **Workflow notes**: a Jump has one fixed target, so one failure handler for several steps is a
+  child workflow; three probed build errors; workflow seed reset
+  ([#415](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/415)).
+- **Skill trims.** Five skill findings (detection gaps, date tokens, Atlas selectors, grants for
+  the default home page, CSS traps) landed as compact rows paid for by trimming provenance
+  prose, so the always-loaded total went from 75,225 to 75,204 words
+  ([#422](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/422)).
+- **`load-test`**: load test a page without correlating Mendix's client protocol by hand.
+  Playwright records the real `/xas/` calls, a probe maps each opaque `runtimeOperation` to its
+  microflow through Jaeger, and the chosen call is replayed with the session's own cookie and
+  CSRF token. It lists eleven field traps and a four-line report that says what the run does not
+  prove. One of them: a local runtime without a licence allows 6 concurrent sessions and stops
+  after 2 to 4 hours, so a run above 6 users on a trial fails for licence reasons. No instrument
+  ships yet, only the skill
+  ([#431](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/431), [#439](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/439)).
+- **`unit-test`**: how to write and run a microflow unit test whose assertion is live: what is
+  worth a test and what is not, equality-only `@expect`, a positive control that must fail, and a
+  four-line report. Whether and when unit tests run stays with the project's test strategy
+  ([#432](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/432)).
+- **`learned-multilingual-app`**: a second language is four decisions the translations never see: source
+  language, enabled languages, the user's starting language, and a switch a normal role can use.
+  A field run wrote 418 strings per language correctly and the language picker still failed with
+  every check green. The skill gives the recipe and the traps
+  ([#449](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/449), from #387 by CarlesZ).
+- **Five legacy-widget field notes** from an existing-app rebuild went to the inbox for triage
+  (first proposed as [#309](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/309), landed
+  as [#450](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/450), thanks to AlvinnYeo).
+- **Decompose and rehost.** Three on-demand skills for working from an existing Mendix app:
+  `decompose-app` (split a monolith into several apps, choosing the cut on business fit and
+  coupling), `rehost-app` (regenerate a whole `.mpr` into a fresh app with `pipelines/mendix-mpr/`
+  and read the fidelity ledger) and `mendix-service-seam` (OData and REST patterns between two
+  Mendix apps). `bin/cut-score.sh` scores a proposed split and prints a clean, costly or blocked
+  verdict per partition, and `bin/cut-ledger.sh` writes one row per crossing edge and exits 1
+  while any edge has no resolution
+  ([#341](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/341), [#342](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/342), [#345](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/345), [#346](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/346)).
+- **`mxpatch` and the hash check.** `project-bin/mxpatch.py` is a shared patch core that finds a
+  unit or element, changes a value and writes the unit and its `.mpr` ContentsHash in one step.
+  `exec.sh --patch` now runs `mxcli fix hashes` before and after the script, so the two shipped
+  workflow patchers no longer leave a stale hash
+  ([#374](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/374), from jopterhorst).
+
+### Fixes
+
+- **The gate no longer races a running app.** `mxbuild` and a live `mxcli run --local --watch` both
+  write `deployment/`. In a field project 17 of 27 failed gates were "gate could not run", against
+  0 of 22 gates in copies without the watcher. The gate now pauses this project's own watcher (never
+  another project's, a copy or a worktree) while mxbuild runs and resumes it right after, also on
+  the next `exec.sh` if a run was killed. A gate whose mxbuild exits 1 or 3 with no error code and an
+  empty error file is retried once ([#451](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/451)).
+- **A failed gate keeps its evidence.** The full mxbuild output of a gate that did not pass is
+  written to `.mpr-snapshots/.mxbuild-logs/`, both attempts when it retried, and the BUILD-LOG row
+  names the file. The newest 30 are kept; a gate that passes on the first try writes nothing
+  ([#452](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/452)).
+- **A crashed mxbuild rolls the write back.** When a baseline was measured and mxbuild then
+  exits non-zero without an error list, `exec.sh` restores the snapshot and logs one row, instead
+  of keeping a model nothing can load
+  ([#424](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/424)).
+- **Lint no longer goes blind after a context compaction.** mxcli's session-start hook rewrites
+  its bundled lint rules on every compaction and subagent start, which put stock rules back over the
+  toolkit's and left `exec.sh` reporting `LINT BLIND` for the rest of a Stage 5. `exec.sh` now
+  restores the toolkit rules itself and lints again; a rule you edited by hand is left as it is, or
+  kept as a backup copy when its toolkit header is gone, and
+  `MXTK_NO_LINT_RESTORE=1` keeps the old behaviour
+  ([#463](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/463)).
+- **Windows: Git Bash paths and the progress report's figures.** Scripts that hand a list of paths
+  to Python now convert Git Bash paths (`/c/...`) first, so the BRD and extraction reports and the
+  facts lock no longer lose the second and later paths on Windows. The progress report now finds a
+  Windows project's own Claude Code log: on a real Windows run it counted 2 sessions and 51
+  sub-agents where the release before this fix found 1 session and 0 sub-agents, so its cost
+  figure was far too low
+  ([#462](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/462)).
+- **Doctor on Windows ARM64** installs the ARM64 mxcli build instead of the x64 one, and the docs
+  say `--install` needs `--yes` when no terminal is attached
+  ([#464](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/464)).
+- **Sync keeps your `.claude/settings.json` rules.** A re-wire runs `mxcli init`, which
+  overwrites that file. `wire-agents.sh` now merges: your entries win and keep their order, and
+  entries only the new file has are appended
+  ([#421](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/421)).
+- **The macOS sync fix.** The exec-approval rewrite failed on stock macOS awk while sync printed
+  "Rewrote" on every run. It now works there and prints a `WARN:` when a rewrite fails
+  ([#427](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/427)).
+- **The right JDK for your Mendix version.** `find_java` asks for JDK 25 on Mendix 11.14 and
+  newer, JDK 21 otherwise, and a warning names a missing JDK
+  ([#410](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/410)). It adds about 45 ms
+  per exec when `JAVA_HOME` is unset.
+- **The look-ledger hook comes back.** A project whose `.claude/settings.json` lost the
+  look-ledger hook (so the ledger read 0 of 31 pages seen with 22 screenshots on disk) gets it
+  restored by sync, and `doctor.sh` warns. Opt out with `.mxtk/no-hook-repair`
+  ([#414](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/414)).
+- **A staged-secrets check.** `check-staged-secrets.sh` compares your project's real secret
+  values against staged blobs and prints the file and key name, never the value. On a synthetic
+  6,000-file repo, 230 staged files take 1.0 seconds and a whole-tree scan 2.6
+  ([#411](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/411)).
+- **`exec.sh` locks per project**, offers `--commit-first`, ends every applied script with a
+  restart verdict, and `bin/app-restart.sh` restarts only this project's own `run --local`
+  ([#304](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/304),
+  [#324](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/324),
+  [#322](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/322)). In a 20-task field run,
+  57 of 148 `exec.sh` runs had applied nothing, and a different project's write had blocked
+  another. A fixture runs 10 rounds of 12 contenders and asserts at most one lock holder.
+- **Merges no longer need `--no-verify`.** The doc numbering check examines only files a merge
+  itself changes
+  ([#418](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/418)).
+
+#### Quality gates
+
+- **Every merge is reviewed by someone who did not write it** (MERGE, MERGE-AFTER-FIX or HOLD,
+  on value, regression risk after sync, correctness and context cost). Nine PRs had merged on
+  2026-10-13 without one ([#316](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/316)).
+  Several fixes in this release came out of those reviews. Every PR now also states its cost in a
+  five-row Impact block ([`docs/RELEASE-PROCESS.md`](../RELEASE-PROCESS.md) §4a).
+- **A missing navigation item fails the journey.** `navTo` throws
+  `navigation item "<title>" not found` instead of clicking nothing, so a control that must fail
+  can no longer pass. Replayed on a five-app project, none of the 26 real journeys turned red and
+  the 4 deliberately broken controls now fail
+  ([#412](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/412)).
+- **Lint you can trust and tune.** UX001/002 and Batches 1 to 4, including SEC014 (an external
+  role that can write status, audit or ownership members). When `mxcli init` reverts toolkit
+  rules to stock, the lint gate stops as BLIND instead of blaming the next script
+  ([#238](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/238),
+  [#305](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/305),
+  [#308](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/308),
+  [#312](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/312)).
+- **A lint rise lists the new findings.** `lint-gate.sh` printed the first three findings of a
+  risen rule in model order, so it could not say which were new. It now prints the new ones, at
+  most 3 per rule, with the rest in `.claude/loop/lint-last.json`. In the report that prompted it,
+  3 findings were shown and 40 were new
+  ([#407](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/407)).
+- **End-to-end proof that fails for the right reason.** The journey runner preflights the suite
+  and journeys can declare `requires`, `leaves` and `consumes`. OQL rows are read by SELECT alias,
+  an app that dies mid-suite reads APP-DOWN rather than FAIL
+  ([#302](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/302),
+  [#310](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/310),
+  [#319](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/319)).
+- **Themed palettes compare correctly.** `check-design-reaches-app.sh` compares a design system
+  whose palette lives in scoped blocks such as `:root.theme-light` block for block, and no longer
+  warns "0 of N tokens carry the design's value" on a correct port
+  ([#423](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/423)).
+- **Stage 3 designs how users reach each page.** `design/interaction-model.md` comes before the
+  first wireframe: a home per role, an inbox per user task, and per page how it is reached and
+  what it receives ([#317](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/317)).
+- **Changing an existing app** reports the delivery round from a `## Rounds` table, logs
+  mid-build feedback as a change-log row before any edit, and owes a final whole-app LOOK at
+  Stage 6 ([#326](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/326),
+  [#306](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/306),
+  [#303](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/303)).
+
+### Known gaps
+
+- **Field runs still owed.** Fixtures pass, but no real-project run is cited yet for the
+  property-set check, the page-fidelity rescoring, per-BRD conformance ledgers, the incremental
+  app map, and the test strategy end to end (the A/B that compares a scripted change on a lab
+  copy against master).
+- **A defect a module-close full run used to catch may now surface only at the full run** before
+  deploy. That is the trade the test strategy makes.
+- **[#291](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/issues/291) parts 2 and 3** (gate
+  facts for the interaction model, and the model-side check) are not built.
+- **`affected-tests.sh` in a multi-app folder** over-reaches because module names can repeat
+  across apps.
+- **A lint rise stops the step even when the build is clean**
+  ([#443](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/issues/443)). When any `mxcli lint`
+  rule count goes above the project's baseline, `exec.sh` keeps the model change but exits 1 with
+  `LINT ROSE`. In a growing app this happens often: fix the new findings, or accept them on purpose
+  with `bin/lint-gate.sh --update-baseline --reason "<why>"`. A softer exit is planned after 1.0.
+- **Automatic time, token and cost figures need Claude Code logs.** A project built with another
+  agent (Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI) still shows gates, stages, plan progress,
+  module proof, bugs and the build times from the exec log, but no time per stage, tokens or
+  cost, unless you keep them by hand in `docs/progress/TIME-LEDGER.md`. Reading Codex and Copilot
+  CLI logs is planned after 1.0.
+- On Windows and Linux without Studio Pro, `exec.sh` skips its mxbuild gate unless mxbuild is
+  found; run `bin/doctor.sh --install <project>` or set `MXBUILD_PATH`.
+- **A Data grid 2 or a Gallery written by mxcli can fail mxbuild** with CE0463 ("the definition of
+  this widget has changed") although `mxcli check` passes it. Seen on a Data grid 2 with a column
+  filter in a field run, and on a Gallery in an earlier one. `exec.sh` rolls the script back. Until
+  mxcli fixes it, use a list view for that list, or open the page in Studio Pro and choose
+  "Update widget".
+- **The progress report trusts the build plan's State column.** If the agent builds a row but does
+  not mark it, the report shows it as not built.
+- **A plain `ASSUMED` counts as "to confirm"** until the owner's consent is recorded, also for
+  decision rows in `PROJECT.md`.
+- **Not yet run on Windows:** Stage 6 (the test machine had no Docker), and the gate's watcher
+  pause.
+
+## 5. How to update
+
+Pin the toolkit clone to the 1.0 tag `v2026.10.19`, then sync each project:
 
 ```bash
-git -C ~/Mendix/mxcli-project-toolkit pull
-~/Mendix/mxcli-project-toolkit/bin/sync-project.sh <project-root>
+git -C ~/Mendix/mxcli-project-toolkit fetch --tags
+git -C ~/Mendix/mxcli-project-toolkit checkout v2026.10.19
+~/Mendix/mxcli-project-toolkit/bin/sync-project.sh <project-root> --repair-intake
 ```
 
-Skills update with the pull; sync refreshes what was copied into the project (intake questions,
-untouched agent stubs, `bin/` and `tests/e2e/` copies nobody edited, lint rules). Once release tags
-are published (from 1.0 on) it prints the `Toolkit release:` line you are on; before that it
-prints `Toolkit release: none tagged yet`. Then:
+The checkout is detached on purpose: a pinned clone stays on the tag. The session-start ritual
+runs `git pull --ff-only`, which fails off a branch and warns that the clone is not on `master`;
+that warning is expected. To unpin:
+`git -C ~/Mendix/mxcli-project-toolkit checkout master && git -C ~/Mendix/mxcli-project-toolkit pull`.
+Skills update with the checkout. Sync refreshes what was copied into the project and prints the
+`Toolkit release:` you are on. `--repair-intake` is needed where the project predates the new intake questions: it appends the
+questions older projects lack, numbered after the highest one present (Q13, unit tests default,
+in a fresh project). An appended question must be answered, because an unanswered one fails the
+Stage P gate. The README's plain update is `git pull` followed by
+`bin/sync-project.sh <project-root>`; the pinned form above is the one for stability
+([`docs/RELEASE-PROCESS.md`](../RELEASE-PROCESS.md) §8).
+
+**After updating:**
 
 - Answer SEC014's question (which roles are external), then re-baseline lint once, as the sync
   NOTE says.
-- On mxcli v0.26 or later, sync runs a read-only property-set check (models written by mxcli up
-  to v0.25 can break Studio Pro's merge). If it reports a repair is needed, run
-  `bin/doctor.sh --fix-property-sets <project>`
+- On mxcli v0.26 or later, sync runs a read-only property-set check. If it reports a repair is
+  needed, run `bin/doctor.sh --fix-property-sets <project>`
   ([#314](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/314)).
-- Projects with per-BRD coverage ledgers: run conformance once after the upgrade; old rows are
-  re-keyed ([#307](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/307)).
-
-## Known gaps
-
-- **Field runs still owed.** Fixtures pass, but no real-project run is cited yet for: the
-  property-set check, the page-fidelity rescoring, PROOF-OF-LOOK per section, per-BRD conformance
-  ledgers, the graph-sweep catalog guard on mxcli v0.24, and the metrics ledger inside a live
-  `exec.sh`.
-- **[#291](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/issues/291) parts 2 and 3** (gate
-  facts for the interaction model, and the model-side check) are not built.
-- The exec stale-lock takeover can still race if a holder is killed mid-takeover. It is rare; a
-  designed fix and a regression test are owed.
-- `mxcli fix hashes` as an `exec.sh --patch` post-step is pending
-  ([#295](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/issues/295)).
-- No shipped pipeline writes an extraction-quality score file yet; the Stage 1 report shows that
-  section as "manual".
-- On Windows and Linux without Studio Pro, `exec.sh` skips its mxbuild gate unless mxbuild is
-  found; run `bin/doctor.sh --install <project>` or set `MXBUILD_PATH`.

-## Credits
-
-Thanks to everyone whose field reports, fixes and reviews fed this release:
-**MendixMau** (maintainer), **AlvinnYeo** (the lint stock-revert guard, the catalog edge guard,
-per-BRD conformance ledgers, the port-holder report, a microflow preflight STOP row, a leftover
-test-injection case), and **jopterhorst** (`mxcli fix property-sets` in the upgrade path,
-delivery rounds in change-an-existing-app mode, two UI detection gaps, token-burn rates and
-windows). Independent reviewers caught several of the defects fixed here before they shipped.
+- Projects with per-BRD coverage ledgers: run conformance once; old rows are re-keyed
+  ([#307](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/307)).
+- `oqlScalar` now returns the first SELECT alias. A journey that relied on `navTo` silently
+  clicking a missing item now fails at the nav step.
+- If you installed the interview-gate hook earlier, re-run `bin/install-claude-hooks.sh --full`. The
+  old copy in `~/.claude/hooks` calls `bin/questions-report.sh`, which is removed, so it would write
+  no report. `bin/doctor.sh` now warns when an installed hook copy calls a toolkit script that no
+  longer exists, and names the fix: re-run `bin/install-claude-hooks.sh --full`
+  ([#455](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/455)).
+- Sync adds `/.claude/progress-report-sessions.txt` to `.gitignore`; commit that line. An old
+  `build-plan.html` and `docs/open-questions.html` are left in place and can be deleted. The line
+  is now also added in a project checked out as a git worktree, and when the cache file is
+  already tracked, sync and doctor print the `git rm --cached` command for it
+  ([#455](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/455)).
+- `PROJECT.md` `## Test strategy` is not written by sync. A project with no such section uses
+  the printed defaults and says so.
+
+**If you cannot update today**, paste this into your session:
+
+> Do not run mxcli test, unit tests or the full journey suite after individual fixes. After each
+> fix, run only the affected tests (./bin/affected-tests.sh <script>). Run the full suite once when the build is complete,
+> and again before each deploy.

+## 6. Thanks
+
+A big thank you to the four people whose field work shaped this release:
+
+- **Alvinn Yeo** (@AlvinnYeo) sent the legacy-widget field notes that landed as
+  [#450](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/450), and earlier the lint stock-revert
+  guard, the catalog edge guard, per-BRD conformance ledgers and the port-holder report
+  ([#313](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/313)). The bug reports #259 to #264
+  found gate and harness faults that only show on a real project.
+- **Jop ter Horst** (@jopterhorst) brought `mxpatch` and the hash check, `mxcli fix property-sets` in the
+  upgrade path, delivery rounds, the incremental app map and token-burn rates
+  ([#374](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/374), field notes #294 to #301).
+- **Carles** (@CarlesZ) wrote up the multilingual app findings from a field run, now the
+  `learned-multilingual-app` skill ([#449](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/449)).
+- **Joshua Moesa** (@joshuamoesa) filed nine precise reports (#356 to #361, #381 to #383): the journey
+  screenshot names ([#408](https://github.com/MendixMau/mxcli-project-toolkit/pull/408)), sync and
+  install-manifest warnings, the test-agent journey path, the missing checkpoint files, and MDL
+  learnings that are now STOP rows in the preflight.
+
+Independent reviewers caught several defects before they shipped.
