Garry Tan cab774cced v1.56.0.0 Token-reduction Phase B + AUQ paranoid safety net (#1849)
* refactor(plan-ceo-review): carve review body into on-demand section

Carve the largest skill (138,838 B) into a skeleton + one on-demand
section, the documented next Phase B target after /ship (v2_PLAN.md:216).

- sections/review-sections.md(.tmpl): the 11-section deep review, codex/
  outside-voice rules, how-to-ask, Required Outputs, registries, Completion
  Summary, Review Log, REVIEW_DASHBOARD, PLAN_FILE_REVIEW_REPORT, Next Steps,
  docs/designs promotion, Formatting Rules, and the Mode Quick Reference.
- sections/manifest.json: passive registry (CM2), one entry.
- SKILL.md.tmpl: {{SECTION_INDEX}} after the system audit, a single
  {{SECTION:review-sections}} STOP-Read after Step 0 mode selection, and a
  Section self-check. All of Step 0 (the scope/mode conversation) stays in
  the always-loaded skeleton; only EXIT_PLAN_MODE_GATE follows the section.

Measured: always-loaded skeleton 138,838 -> 80,731 B (-42%, ~14.4K tokens
off every invocation). Union (skeleton + section) 139,110 B, behavior held.

Boundary honors Codex P1: nothing review-governing (formatting rules, mode
reference, how-to-ask, required outputs) sits in the skeleton below the
STOP. Housekeeping resolvers ride in the section, matching the ship
precedent (adversarial.md carries LEARNINGS_LOG + GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS).

Tests (atomic with the carve — skill-docs.yml gates gen:skill-docs
freshness on every push, so source + regen + tests must land together):
- parity-harness: plan-ceo flipped to sectioned, maxSkeletonBytes 90_000
  (measured 80,731 + headroom); content/minBytes run against the union.
- skill-size-budget: plan-ceo-review added to SECTIONS_EXTRACTED.
- section-manifest-consistency: generalized to discover every carved skill,
  vars computed per-skill-case (Codex P2).
- skill-ceo-section-ordering (new, gate): per-PR static guard — STOP after
  Step 0, review body absent from skeleton, report writer in the section,
  nothing review-governing below the STOP.
- skill-e2e-plan-ceo-review-section-loading (new, periodic): refreshes the
  installed skill first (Codex P1), drives full Step 0, asserts the section
  is Read before the report.
- gen-skill-docs + skill-validation: read the skeleton+sections union for
  carved skills so relocated prose still counts.
- touchfiles: plan-ceo-section-loading registered (periodic).

* chore: bump VERSION + CHANGELOG for plan-ceo-review carve (v1.56.0.0)

MINOR: carves the largest skill into skeleton + on-demand section,
dropping plan-ceo-review's always-loaded cost 42% (138,838 -> 80,731 B,
~14.4K tokens off every invocation). User-facing release notes lead with
the measured token win.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(todos): file P3 follow-up — carve the shared {{PREAMBLE}} reference blocks

Surfaced by /plan-eng-review on the plan-ceo-review carve: per-skill section
carves stay modest because the ~40-50KB shared preamble dominates the
always-loaded surface. A single preamble-reference carve would help every
tier->=2 skill at once. Records the why, the cold-vs-hot split to measure,
and the guards it needs. Not implemented this PR.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(auq): Layer 0 — guarantee AUQ format spec is always-loaded

Deterministic, free, per-PR keystone for the token-reduction era. For every
interactive (tier>=2) skill, asserts the full AskUserQuestion decision-brief
format (ELI10/Recommendation/Pros-cons/checks/Net/(recommended)/Stakes/
self-check) lives in the always-loaded SKILL.md skeleton, NOT only in an
on-demand section. Plus a roster guard (a carve can't silently drop the block)
and per-skill rule survival in the skeleton+sections union. 51 cases + a
negative control. Fails the instant a future carve strands AUQ-governing text
where it won't be loaded when a question fires.

* test(auq): SDK capture engine + verbose-vs-carved no-degradation A/B

Adds the reusable SDK $OUT_FILE capture engine (auq-sdk-capture.ts): drives a
skill to its AUQ and captures the verbatim text the model GENERATES, cleanly
(real-PTY mangles plan-mode AUQs via cursor escapes). Pins the skill to an
absolute path with Read/Write-only tools so the agent can't wander to the
global install. gradeAuqRecommendation normalizes a non-"because" connective
before grading so substantive reasons aren't false-flagged (without touching
the pinned shared judge).

The A/B drives the same prompt through the carved 80KB skeleton and the
pre-carve 137KB monolith and fails if carved scores worse. Result: both 7/7
format, substance 5 — proven no degradation, transcript-verified each side read
its own planted SKILL.md. Periodic tier.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(auq): consistency — same trigger N runs, stable format + substance

Drives the carved /plan-ceo-review AUQ N=3 times and fails if any format
element appears in one run but not another, or substance craters. Targets the
"fine one run, broken the next" failure class a single snapshot can't see.
Result: 3/3 stable, 7/7 + substance 5 every run. Periodic tier.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(auq): behavioral matrix across AUQ-heavy skills

Data-driven test that drives each AUQ-heavy skill (plan-eng/design/devex,
office-hours, cso, spec, design-consultation) to its first AskUserQuestion and
grades it to the plan-ceo bar: 7/7 decision-brief format + recommendation
substance >=4. One case per skill (isolated failures), env-subsettable via
AUQ_MATRIX_ONLY. Browser/design-binary skills are intentionally excluded
(comparison boards, not format-AUQs; Layer 0 covers their spec). All targeted
skills pass 7/7 with substance 4-5. Periodic tier.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(codex): live recommendation-substance grade for /codex

Closes the gap where /codex's synthesis recommendation was only checked
statically (template grep) and via fixtures. Drives the real /codex skill over
a flawed diff and grades the emitted "Recommendation: ... because ..." line
with judgeRecommendation (present/commits/has_because/substance>=4). The named
weak spot holds up: substance 5. Periodic tier.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(auq): deterministic trigger for format-compliance gate

A bare /plan-ceo-review against a repo whose work is already implemented makes
the model improvise an off-script "what should I review?" scope question that
skips the decision-brief format, which the gate test then times out waiting for.
Hand it a concrete plan to review (FORCING_FLOOR_CEO) so it reaches the real
Step 0 mode-selection AUQ that is the intended format check.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(office-hours): carve Phase 5+6 into on-demand section

Third Phase B carve (v2_PLAN.md:216, after ship and plan-ceo-review). Moves
Phase 5 (Design Doc templates) + Phase 6 (tiered relationship handoff) — the
session's output + closing tail, only reached after the conversation and
alternatives are done — into sections/design-and-handoff.md, behind a single
STOP-Read after Phase 4.5. The live conversation (Phases 1-4.5) and the
always-run Important Rules stay in the always-loaded skeleton.

Measured: always-loaded skeleton 118,280 -> 88,975 B (-24.8%). Union preserved.
The carved AUQ is identical to pre-carve (matrix: 7/7 format, substance 5),
and Layer 0 confirms the AUQ format spec stays in the skeleton — the AUQ
paranoid suite de-risked this carve end to end.

Atomic with tests + regen (skill-docs.yml gates gen:skill-docs freshness on
every push, so source + regen + tests land together; --host all regenerates
the inlined non-Claude variants):
- sections/manifest.json: passive registry, one entry.
- parity-harness: office-hours flipped to sectioned, maxSkeletonBytes 96_000
  (measured 88,975 + headroom); content/minBytes run against the union.
- skill-size-budget: office-hours added to SECTIONS_EXTRACTED.
- gen-skill-docs + skill-validation: read the skeleton+sections union for
  office-hours so relocated Phase 5/6 prose still counts.

* refactor(preamble): carve CJK-escaping manual to on-demand doc

The AskUserQuestion format block is inlined into every interactive skill (~33).
It carried the full multi-paragraph non-ASCII/CJK escaping manual inline, but
that rationale only matters when a question contains CJK text and the operative
rule already lives in the always-loaded self-check. Moved the justification to
docs/askuserquestion-cjk.md (read on demand); kept the rule + a pointer.

Corpus: Claude-host SKILL.md total 3,087,499 -> 3,057,975 B (-29,524 B, ~900 B
x ~33 skills). Layer 0 still passes — the core decision-brief format stays
always-loaded; only the rare CJK rationale moved. Atomic with the all-host
regen (skill-docs.yml freshness gate). VERSION + package.json -> 1.58.0.0.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(plan-eng-review): carve review body into on-demand section

Fourth Phase B carve (v2_PLAN.md:220). Moves the 4-section review (Architecture,
Code Quality, Tests, Performance), outside voice, required outputs, and review
report — everything after Step 0 scope — into sections/review-sections.md behind
a single STOP-Read. Step 0 (scope challenge) and EXIT_PLAN_MODE_GATE stay in the
always-loaded skeleton.

Measured: skeleton 106,984 -> 54,892 B (-48.7%). Union preserved. Atomic with
tests + all-host regen (freshness gate): parity flipped to sectioned
(maxSkeletonBytes 62K), plan-eng-review added to SECTIONS_EXTRACTED, gen-skill-docs
reads the union for relocated review/TEST_COVERAGE/dashboard prose. Layer 0 green.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(plan-design-review): carve review body into on-demand section

Fifth Phase B carve (v2_PLAN.md:220, bundled with plan-eng). Moves the 7 design
passes, required outputs, and review report — everything after Step 0 scope and
the mockup/rating phase — into sections/review-sections.md behind a STOP-Read.
Step 0, Step 0.5 mockups, the rating method, and EXIT_PLAN_MODE_GATE stay in the
always-loaded skeleton.

Measured: skeleton 112,057 -> 76,024 B (-32.2%). Union preserved. Atomic with
tests + all-host regen: parity sectioned (maxSkeletonBytes 82K), added to
SECTIONS_EXTRACTED, gen-skill-docs reads the union. Layer 0 green.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(plan-devex-review): carve review body into on-demand section

Sixth Phase B carve. Moves the 8 DX passes, required outputs, and review report
— everything after the Step 0 DX investigation — into sections/review-sections.md
behind a STOP-Read. All of Step 0 (persona, empathy, benchmark, journey trace,
roleplay) + the rating method + EXIT_PLAN_MODE_GATE stay always-loaded.

Measured: skeleton 110,621 -> 69,658 B (-37%). Union preserved. Atomic with
tests + all-host regen: added to SECTIONS_EXTRACTED, gen-skill-docs reads the
union. Layer 0 green. (No parity invariant entry for plan-devex-review.)

* chore: bump VERSION + CHANGELOG for plan-* family carves (v1.59.0.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: refresh ship golden baselines + gbrain-detection union after carves

Two follow-ups the carve commits should have carried (caught by the full suite,
missed by targeted subsets):
- ship golden baselines (claude/codex/factory) regenerated: the preamble CJK
  trim (v1.58) changed ship's always-loaded AskUserQuestion block.
- gbrain-detection-override probes the office-hours skeleton+section union:
  GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS moved into sections/design-and-handoff.md when office-hours
  was carved, so the detection assertions now check both files.

Full `bun test` green.

* test(auq): grade format-compliance gate from SDK capture, not the TUI

The real-PTY version grepped the stripAnsi'd interactive AUQ picker. Verified
directly that this cannot work: plan-mode AUQs render as a cursor picker whose
cursor-positioning escapes stripAnsi can't flatten — the picker renders fine for
a human (cursorSeen=45) but the flattened text drops ELI10:/(recommended) and
parseNumberedOptions returns 0. The test was grading a lossy projection and
failed by construction.

Rewritten to drive /plan-ceo-review via the SDK $OUT_FILE capture (the agent
writes the verbatim question it would have shown — clean text, no rendering
loss) and grade 7/7 format + kind-note + recommendation substance >=4. Same
property, reliable, environment-independent; shares the engine with the periodic
A/B and matrix evals. Result: 7/7 format, substance 5. Touchfiles key renamed
ask-user-question-format-pty -> auq-format-gate (no longer a PTY test).

* test: fix carve-broken CI evals (union reads + section fixtures)

Two CI eval jobs failed on the carved plan-* skills because they read content
that moved into sections/:

- llm-judge (skill-llm-eval): runWorkflowJudge sliced SKILL.md between markers
  like "## Review Sections" / "## CRITICAL RULE" that now live in
  sections/review-sections.md. The markers vanished from the skeleton, so the
  judge scored empty/wrong content. Fix: read the skeleton+sections union.
  Verified: plan-ceo modes / plan-eng sections / plan-design passes all PASS
  (25/25).

- e2e-plan (skill-e2e-plan): setupPlanDir copied only <skill>/SKILL.md into the
  fixture, not sections/. The carved skill's STOP pointed at a section file that
  was absent, so the model improvised a compressed report table instead of the
  canonical "| Review | Trigger | Why | Runs | Status | Findings |". Fix: copy
  sections/ alongside SKILL.md in all 6 setup sites. Verified: report test PASS,
  canonical table emitted.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: copy carved sections into all e2e fixtures (prevent more carve-blind CI fails)

Proactive sweep beyond the two CI logs: every e2e test that copies a carved
skill's SKILL.md into a temp fixture must also copy its sections/, or the
model hits a STOP pointing at a missing section file and improvises/degrades.

- skill-e2e.test.ts: plan-ceo/plan-eng/plan-design/office-hours copies across
  planDir/reviewDir/ohDir/benefitsDir dests now copy sections/.
- skill-e2e-plan.test.ts: the office-hours copy + the 4-skill codex-offering
  loop now copy sections/.
- skill-e2e-design.test.ts: plan-design-review copy now copies sections/.
- skill-e2e-office-hours.test.ts: both office-hours copies now copy sections/.
- skill-e2e-office-hours-brain-writeback.test.ts: GBRAIN_SAVE_RESULTS moved into
  the section, so check the regenerated skeleton+section UNION for the gbrain put
  block, ship both into the workdir, and restore both (the section regen was also
  leaking into the working tree — finally now restores it).

ship copies (single-file Step-0 slices) and review/retro (not carved) untouched.

* test: migrate section-loading E2E to lossless SDK tool-stream detection

The /ship and /plan-ceo-review section-loading tests drove a real PTY and
scraped the ANSI screen buffer for sections/<file>.md paths. That silently
saw nothing in a Conductor PTY (cursor-positioned tool renders and an
unanswered Step 0 question loop both defeat the regex), so both reported
read: [] even when the agent did the work.

They now run the skill through claude -p (the same SDK path the AUQ matrix
uses) and detect section reads from the tool-use stream — Read calls whose
file_path contains sections/<file>.md — with no rendering layer to mangle.
The run is also hermetic: the freshly-generated worktree skeleton + sections
are copied into a throwaway fixture with the absolute path pinned, so the
test validates this branch's carve without mutating the user's ~/.claude
install.

Validated EVALS_TIER=periodic: both pass (plan-ceo Reads review-sections.md;
ship Reads review-army.md + changelog.md), ~6.5 min for both vs ~23 min
combined on the old PTY path where both were failing.

* chore: consolidate branch to v1.56.0.0 (single MINOR above main)

The branch bumped VERSION several times during development (1.56 → 1.57 →
1.58 → 1.59), but none of those landed on main (main is at 1.55.1.0). Per
the "never orphan branch-internal versions" discipline, collapse all four
into a single 1.56.0.0 entry — one MINOR release covering the whole branch:
five skills carved (plan-ceo, office-hours, plan-eng, plan-design,
plan-devex), the shared AskUserQuestion preamble CJK trim, and the paranoid
AUQ no-degradation test suite + lossless section-loading tests.

VERSION and package.json set to 1.56.0.0; main's 1.55.1.0 entry preserved
below the consolidated entry. No SKILL.md drift (VERSION is not embedded in
generated bodies).

/**
* Cathedral parity-eval harness (v1.45.0.0 T0b).
