chore(context): remove generated .aider.conventions.md

Aider is not a supported harness; the generator no longer emits this.
Note: generator no longer writes .aider.conf.yml either.

+  service. Auth: Dex JWT (claude.ai OAuth) or static `BRAIN_MCP_TOKEN`.
+- **`routing`** at `http://koala:30310/mcp` — Mode 2 routing pod. Advertises
+  `review`, `debug`, `retrospective`, `trainer`; per-call routes to local model
+  or Claude based on brain `/pass-rate`. Bearer auth via `ROUTING_MCP_TOKEN`
+  (opt-in). Only `mode client-local` registers this endpoint.
+
+The supervisor MCP (`koala:30320`) was retired in Plan 7 (2026-05-12). Its

+
+## Who I am
+
+I'm Mathias, a digital product manager and technology consultant based in Sweden.
+I build software, research emerging tech, and deliver consulting engagements
+for clients under NDA. I work across AI/ML, financial automation, web applications,
+and climate/sustainability tech.
+
+## How I work with agents
+
+- I think like a product manager — I care about *why* before *how*
+- I want agents to be opinionated and push back, not just execute blindly
+- I prefer concise responses; skip ceremony and get to the point
+- When I say "build this", I mean production-quality with tests, not a demo
+- Ask me before making irreversible changes or adding heavy dependencies
+- I work with confidential client data — never send it to cloud APIs unless I explicitly say it's OK
+
+## Behavior rules
+
+These rules apply to every task across every project, regardless of harness.
+
+0. **Pre-task ritual — before ANY implementation (non-negotiable).** Run this before writing a single line:
+   - **Query the brain** (`brain_query`) for the domain + symptom. If the result changes your approach, surface it before acting. 5 seconds beats 5 hours.
+   - **Load the relevant skill** — see trigger table in *Engineering Skills* below.
+   - **Write the failing test first.** Name the test before the function. If the target is untestable (e.g. `main()` wiring), extract the logic into a testable function first. No implementation without a red test.
+   - **State the observable success criterion** — what specific behavior, output, or passing test proves this is done?
+
+   **TDD is non-negotiable.** "Tests pass" is not proof of correctness — only proof the tests ran. Write tests that would catch the bug before writing code that fixes it.
+
+1. **No assumptions.** Don't hide confusion — surface it. Surface tradeoffs explicitly.
+   Think before coding; if the problem is unclear, ask or state assumptions before acting.
+2. **Minimum viable code.** Solve with the smallest change that works. Nothing
+   speculative, no "while we're here" cleanups, no premature abstractions. Simplicity first.
+3. **Surgical changes.** Touch only what the task requires. Leave unrelated code,
+   files, and formatting alone. Diffs should be small and reviewable.
+4. **Goal-driven execution.** Define clear success criteria up front for every task.
+   Loop — implement, verify, refine — until those criteria are met. Don't claim
+   completion without evidence (tests pass, command output, observed behavior).
+5. **Trunk-Based Development — commit directly to main.** Every commit is one
+   logical change (one tool, one fix, one test) with passing tests. Main is always
+   deployable. Never create long-lived feature branches.
+
+   **Exception — parallel agents on same repo:** If another agent is known to be
+   actively working on the same repo simultaneously, create a short-lived branch
+   (`agent/<description>`), finish the task, and merge to main within the same
+   session. Do not leave agent branches open between sessions.
+
+   **Exception — external contributor or client four-eyes requirement:** Use
+   PR flow only when a human reviewer outside the project is required. Document
+   the reason in PROJECT.md.
+
+6. **Close the loop — every substantive task ends with the same ritual.** Shipping
+   the code is not the end of the task; capturing it is. Run this unprompted:
+   - **Tag + bump SemVer** on the change (annotated tag; minor for a feature or
+     new/changed ADR, patch for a fix; docs in the same commit). Check the repo's
+     actual last tag — stated versions in docs drift stale.
+   - **Push** main and the tag (CI is the gate).
+   - **Persist generalizable learnings to the brain** (`brain_write`, wing/hall) —
+     the reusable patterns and the footguns that would bite anyone again, never
+     project status. See *Knowledge base — when to write* below.
+   - **File discovered-but-deferred work as tracker issues** on the project's own
+     repo — token-budget gaps, recorded ADR limitations, v2 follow-ups. Don't let
+     "out of scope, recorded" rot in a commit message; make it a ticket with a
+     source pointer.
+   - Surface the brain entries and issue numbers in the closing summary so the
+     trail is auditable.

+## Default stack
+
+| Layer | Default | Fallback | Last resort |
+|-------|---------|----------|-------------|
+| Language | Go | Python | TypeScript, Java, C |
+| UI | HTMX + Templ | Server-rendered HTML | React (only if SPA is justified) |
+| Build | Task (taskfile.dev) | Make | — |
+| Containers | Docker Compose (dev), k3s (prod) | — | — |
+| DB | PostgreSQL + sqlc | SQLite | — |
+| Search | pgvector (vector), BM25 | Qdrant (when >1M vectors or hybrid retrieval) | — |
+| Logging | slog (structured) | — | — |
+| Testing | Table-driven, testify | — | — |
+| Agents (Go) | google.golang.org/adk + pkg/litellm adapter | — | — |
+
+Exploratory: Rust, Zig — I'll tell you when I want these.
+
+## Code conventions
+
+- **Go style**: golines, gofumpt, golangci-lint
+- **Errors**: `fmt.Errorf("operation: %w", err)` — never naked, never log-and-return
+- **Naming**: stdlib conventions, no stuttering
+- **Architecture**: prefer stdlib over frameworks, constructor injection, env-var config parsed into typed structs
+- **Git**: conventional commits (`feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`), commit directly to main,
+  one logical change per commit, CI is the quality gate
+- **Never**: long-lived feature branches, PRs for solo work, direct push without
+  passing `task check` locally first
+- **Security**: no secrets in code, govulncheck before adding deps, SOPS for encrypted config
+- **Dependencies**: prefer stdlib. testify, slog, templ, sqlc, google.golang.org/adk (agent projects only) are pre-approved; anything else needs justification in the commit message
+
+## Secret handling (every harness, every command)
+
+Tool output is persisted: terminal → `~/.claude/projects` transcripts →
+claudewatcher → brain/wiki → gitea history. A secret printed once is
+searchable forever, and clearing it means rotating the key. So:
+
+1. **Never print, echo, log, or transform a secret to inspect it.** No
+   `base64`/`xxd`/`cat` of a key, and never pipe a secret through a transform
+   to defeat `op run`'s output masking (it masks raw values; base64 hides them
+   from the mask — that exact trick leaked a key on 2026-06-11).
+2. **Secrets stay in the subprocess.** Reference them only as env vars consumed
+   *inside* `op run --env-file ~/.op-env -- <cmd>`. Never place a literal secret
+   in a command's argv (it lands in the tool call and the transcript).
+3. **Existence check without revealing the value:** `[ -n "$X" ] && echo set` —
+   never `${X:-...}` (returns the value when set) and never echo a substring of it.
+4. **Cross-host secrets:** run the secret-consuming command on the host that has
+   the secret; do not forward a raw key over ssh argv/stdout.
+5. If a secret does leak into output, say so immediately and flag it for rotation —
+   don't bury it.
+
+## Infrastructure
+
+Three machines on Tailscale:
+
+| Machine | Role | Key specs |
+|---------|------|-----------|
+| koala | GPU inference, heavy compute | RTX 5070, runs k3s + llama-swap + shared postgres18/pgvector |
+| iguana | Services, builds | M2 Ultra Mac |
+| flamingo | Daily driver, edge | Mac mini, ~/dev is here |
+
+- **Model routing**: LiteLLM in front of llama-swap (local) + cloud APIs (when permitted)
+- **Orchestration**: k3s cluster across all three machines
+- **Networking**: Tailscale mesh
+
+## Project landscape
+
+All development repos live at `~/dev/` (softlink from `~/Documents/local-dev/`).
+
+Organized in thematic folders:
+
+| Folder | Focus | Count |
+|--------|-------|-------|
+| `GO/` | Go web frameworks, API integrations, learning projects | ~10 |
+| `AI/` | ML research, AI frameworks (FinRL, DSPy, crawl4ai) | ~6 |
+| `AGENTS/` | Autonomous agents, coding agents, MCP servers, infra | ~15 |
+| `QKX/` | Invoice processing, financial automation, payment systems | ~13 |
+| `XT/` | Climate data, sustainability (Klimatkollen, Garbo) | ~2 |
+
+See `~/dev/PROJECT_SUMMARY.md` for detailed descriptions of each project.
+
+### Key active projects
+
+- **super-koala** (`AGENTS/`) — multi-component agent stack with LangGraph, DSPy, MCP
+- **azure-tiger** (`QKX/`) — invoice extraction → ISO 20022 payment instructions
+- **gocrwl** (`AGENTS/`) — Go web crawler with containerized deployment
+- **koala-ai-stack** (`AGENTS/`) — local AI server infrastructure management
+- **klimatkollen** (`XT/`) — Swedish municipal climate data platform
+
+## Knowledge base — actively use it
+
+A persistent brain (BM25 search + LLM-synthesised Q&A) survives across sessions,
+hosts, and harnesses. It holds 100+ hard-won entries: infra incident postmortems,
+Go pitfalls, framework gotchas, design principles, ADRs. **It is not optional
+reference material — query it actively, not just when explicitly told.**
+
+### When to query (treat as a reflex)
+
+- **Before** starting a non-trivial task — search for prior art with the symptom
+  AND the system component ("how did we solve X in Y?"). 5 seconds beats 5 hours.
+- **When debugging** — search for the error string, the stack frame, the affected
+  service. Past you may have already paid this tax.
+- **Before adopting** a pattern, library, framework, or model name — check if it
+  was tried and rejected, or what the integration footguns are.
+- **When making architectural decisions** — search for the domain + "ADR" or
+  "decision" to find prior reasoning before re-deriving it.
+- **When a recommendation feels novel** — challenge yourself: "has this been
+  documented?" The brain often has it.
+
+### When to write
+
+After you discover something that **future-you would forget** and that **isn't
+recoverable from the code, git log, or PR description alone**:
+
+- Bugs whose root cause is non-obvious and generalisable beyond this project.
+- Framework / library / model-name quirks that bit you and would bite anyone.
+- Design principles validated under fire (e.g. "every `_get` needs a `_list`").
+- Postmortems for incidents: what broke, why, how diagnosed, what to do next time.
+
+DON'T write project status, sprint progress, PR summaries, or "what I did this
+session" — those rot fast and the originals are in git/gitea anyway. Brain
+entries that age well are about *why*, *how to avoid*, and *what to do when*.
+
+### How to access (per harness)
+
+| Harness | Query | Write |
+|---------|-------|-------|
+| **Claude Code, Claude Desktop** | `brain_query` (BM25), `brain_answer` (LLM-synth + sources) MCP tools | `brain_write` MCP tool |
+| **Crush, Pi, Antigravity, other MCP-capable** | same MCP server: `ingestion-brain` (via the `mcp__*_brain__*` namespace once authenticated) | same |
+| **Anything HTTP-only (curl, scripts)** | `POST https://brain-mcp.d-ma.be/query` with `{"query":"..."}` (auth via `BRAIN_MCP_TOKEN`) | `POST .../write` with `{"content":"...","filename":"..."}` |
+| **Browser / human inspection** | `https://git.d-ma.be/mathias/hyperguild` → `knowledge/` and `wiki/` markdown files |
+
+- **Scoping**: defaults to `public` collection; client projects filter to `{client}` + `public`.
+- **Routing**: brain_answer's LLM uses berget.ai as primary, iguana ollama as
+  fallback. Both are configurable in the `supervisor/ingestion-deployment.yaml`
+  on the koala k3s cluster; don't hardcode local-only model names into the
+  berget URL (see knowledge entry on namespace mismatches).
+
+### Quick reflex checks
+
+If you find yourself about to say any of these out loud, you owe yourself a brain query first:
+
+- "I think the issue might be..."
+- "Let me try X and see..."
+- "I'll just write a script to..."
+- "This is probably a new bug..."
+- "Has anyone done this before?" — *yes, probably, go check.*
+
+## Client work rules
+
+When working on a project tagged with a client name:
+1. Never send code, data, or context to cloud APIs — use local models only
+2. Never reference other client projects or their data
+3. Keep all artifacts within the client's git org / directory
+4. Treat everything as confidential unless told otherwise
+
+## Harness-agnostic principles
+
+This context is designed to work with any AI coding tool:
+- Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Open WebUI, Charmbracelet Mods/Crush
+- Pi Coding Agent, Mistral Vibe, Antigravity
+- Any tool that accepts a system prompt or reads a markdown context file
+
+The canonical source is always `.context/AGENT.md` (root) and `.context/PROJECT.md` (per-project).
+Derived files are committed (see *How context propagates* below) so a `git pull` on any host yields full agent context with no setup.
+
+## How context propagates
+
+Canonical sources of truth:
+- Universal: `~/dev/.context/AGENT.md` (this file)
+- Project: `<repo>/.context/PROJECT.md` (per-repo)
+
+Derived files (committed, regenerated by `task context:sync`):
+- `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `.cursorrules`, `.aider.conventions.md`,
+  `.context/system-prompt.txt`
+
+Workflow:
+1. Edit a canonical file. Run `task context:sync`. Commit canonical and
+   derived together. Push.
+2. On any other host, `git pull` brings both. Claude Code (tree-walking)
+   uses `CLAUDE.md`; Crush / Pi / Antigravity (cwd-only) use `AGENTS.md`;
+   Cursor uses `.cursorrules`; Aider uses `.aider.conventions.md`.
+3. `task check` runs `context:sync` then asserts `git status --porcelain`
+   is empty over the derived files (catches both modified-tracked drift
+   and missing-untracked adapters). A drift fails the check with a
+   message telling you to stage the regenerated files.
+
+Behavior rules in this file and per-project rules in `PROJECT.md` apply
+unconditionally on every host, every harness.
+
+## Engineering Skills
+
+Shared engineering skills are available in `~/dev/.skills/`. Load at task start — not "on demand" but on schedule, before writing code. See `~/dev/.skills/SKILLS_INDEX.md` for the full list.
+
+**Skill trigger table — load before starting, not after getting stuck:**
+
+| Task type | Load |
+|-----------|------|
+| Any feature or bug fix | `tdd` |
+| Refactor or design | `clean-code` or `solid` |
+| Debug | `problem-analysis` |
+| Review code or PRs | `code-review` |
+| Frame a problem before coding | `problem-analysis` |

+## Conventions
+
+### Code style
+- Go: follow `golines`, `gofumpt`, `golangci-lint` with project config
+- Tests: table-driven, in `_test.go` next to source, `testify` for assertions
+- Errors: wrap with `fmt.Errorf("operation: %w", err)`, no naked returns
+- Naming: stdlib conventions, no stuttering (`http.Client` not `http.HTTPClient`)
+
+### Architecture preferences
+- Prefer standard library over frameworks (net/http over gin/echo)
+- Dependency injection via constructor functions, not containers
+- Configuration via environment variables, parsed at startup into a typed struct
+- Structured logging via `slog`
+
+### Git
+- Conventional commits: `feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`
+- Branch naming: `feat/short-description`, `fix/short-description`
+- PRs: one concern per PR, description explains *why* not *what*
+
+### Security
+- No secrets in code, ever — use env vars or SOPS-encrypted files
+- Client data never leaves local network unless explicitly cleared
+- Dependencies: audit with `govulncheck` before adding
+
+## MCP endpoints
+
+Two MCP servers are live, both reachable over Tailscale and via HTTPS domain:
+
+- **`brain`** at `https://brain-mcp.d-ma.be/mcp` (NodePort `koala:30330`) —
+  `brain_query`, `brain_write`, `brain_ingest`, `brain_ingest_raw`,
+  `brain_answer`, `brain_classify`, `session_log`. Hosted by the ingestion
+  service. Auth: Dex JWT (claude.ai OAuth) or static `BRAIN_MCP_TOKEN`.
+- **`routing`** at `http://koala:30310/mcp` — Mode 2 routing pod. Advertises
+  `review`, `debug`, `retrospective`, `trainer`; per-call routes to local model
+  or Claude based on brain `/pass-rate`. Bearer auth via `ROUTING_MCP_TOKEN`
+  (opt-in). Only `mode client-local` registers this endpoint.
+
+The supervisor MCP (`koala:30320`) was retired in Plan 7 (2026-05-12). Its
+skill workers (`tdd`, `spec`) are now SKILL.md files; routed skills moved to
+the routing pod; brain tools moved to the brain MCP.
+
+The brain HTTP REST API (`/query`, `/write`, `/ingest`, `/ingest-raw`,
+`/ingest-path`, `/backfill-refs`, `/pass-rate`) remains available on port 3300
+for shell scripts and non-MCP clients.
+
+`brain_answer(query)` performs BM25 retrieval + LLM synthesis (berget.ai
+gemma4:31b → iguana fallback). `brain_classify(text)` infers doc type, title,
+and tags. Both require `BRAIN_LLM_PRIMARY_URL` to be set in the ingestion pod.
+
+## Agent instructions
+
+When acting as a coding agent on this project:
+
+1. Read this file and all `SKILL.md` files in `.skills/` before starting work
+2. Run `task check` before committing (lint + test + vet)
+3. If unsure about a convention, check `DECISIONS.md` or ask
+4. Never modify files outside the project root without explicit permission
+5. When adding a dependency, explain why in the commit message
+6. For client projects: never send code or context to cloud APIs — use local models via LiteLLM

+# Agent context — Mathias workspace
+
+<!-- Canonical root context for all AI coding agents.
+     Lives at: ~/dev/.context/AGENT.md
+     Applies to every project under ~/dev/ unless overridden.
+     
+     Run `task context:sync` from ~/dev/ to regenerate harness-specific files.
+     Project-level context in .context/PROJECT.md layers on top of this. -->
+
+## Who I am
+
+I'm Mathias, a digital product manager and technology consultant based in Sweden.
+I build software, research emerging tech, and deliver consulting engagements
+for clients under NDA. I work across AI/ML, financial automation, web applications,
+and climate/sustainability tech.
+
+## How I work with agents
+
+- I think like a product manager — I care about *why* before *how*
+- I want agents to be opinionated and push back, not just execute blindly
+- I prefer concise responses; skip ceremony and get to the point
+- When I say "build this", I mean production-quality with tests, not a demo
+- Ask me before making irreversible changes or adding heavy dependencies
+- I work with confidential client data — never send it to cloud APIs unless I explicitly say it's OK
+
+## Behavior rules
+
+These rules apply to every task across every project, regardless of harness.
+
+0. **Pre-task ritual — before ANY implementation (non-negotiable).** Run this before writing a single line:
+   - **Query the brain** (`brain_query`) for the domain + symptom. If the result changes your approach, surface it before acting. 5 seconds beats 5 hours.
+   - **Load the relevant skill** — see trigger table in *Engineering Skills* below.
+   - **Write the failing test first.** Name the test before the function. If the target is untestable (e.g. `main()` wiring), extract the logic into a testable function first. No implementation without a red test.
+   - **State the observable success criterion** — what specific behavior, output, or passing test proves this is done?
+
+   **TDD is non-negotiable.** "Tests pass" is not proof of correctness — only proof the tests ran. Write tests that would catch the bug before writing code that fixes it.
+
+1. **No assumptions.** Don't hide confusion — surface it. Surface tradeoffs explicitly.
+   Think before coding; if the problem is unclear, ask or state assumptions before acting.
+2. **Minimum viable code.** Solve with the smallest change that works. Nothing
+   speculative, no "while we're here" cleanups, no premature abstractions. Simplicity first.
+3. **Surgical changes.** Touch only what the task requires. Leave unrelated code,
+   files, and formatting alone. Diffs should be small and reviewable.
+4. **Goal-driven execution.** Define clear success criteria up front for every task.
+   Loop — implement, verify, refine — until those criteria are met. Don't claim
+   completion without evidence (tests pass, command output, observed behavior).
+5. **Trunk-Based Development — commit directly to main.** Every commit is one
+   logical change (one tool, one fix, one test) with passing tests. Main is always
+   deployable. Never create long-lived feature branches.
+
+   **Exception — parallel agents on same repo:** If another agent is known to be
+   actively working on the same repo simultaneously, create a short-lived branch
+   (`agent/<description>`), finish the task, and merge to main within the same
+   session. Do not leave agent branches open between sessions.
+
+   **Exception — external contributor or client four-eyes requirement:** Use
+   PR flow only when a human reviewer outside the project is required. Document
+   the reason in PROJECT.md.
+
+6. **Close the loop — every substantive task ends with the same ritual.** Shipping
+   the code is not the end of the task; capturing it is. Run this unprompted:
+   - **Tag + bump SemVer** on the change (annotated tag; minor for a feature or
+     new/changed ADR, patch for a fix; docs in the same commit). Check the repo's
+     actual last tag — stated versions in docs drift stale.
+   - **Push** main and the tag (CI is the gate).
+   - **Persist generalizable learnings to the brain** (`brain_write`, wing/hall) —
+     the reusable patterns and the footguns that would bite anyone again, never
+     project status. See *Knowledge base — when to write* below.
+   - **File discovered-but-deferred work as tracker issues** on the project's own
+     repo — token-budget gaps, recorded ADR limitations, v2 follow-ups. Don't let
+     "out of scope, recorded" rot in a commit message; make it a ticket with a
+     source pointer.
+   - Surface the brain entries and issue numbers in the closing summary so the
+     trail is auditable.
+
+## Default stack
+
+| Layer | Default | Fallback | Last resort |
+|-------|---------|----------|-------------|
+| Language | Go | Python | TypeScript, Java, C |
+| UI | HTMX + Templ | Server-rendered HTML | React (only if SPA is justified) |
+| Build | Task (taskfile.dev) | Make | — |
+| Containers | Docker Compose (dev), k3s (prod) | — | — |
+| DB | PostgreSQL + sqlc | SQLite | — |
+| Search | pgvector (vector), BM25 | Qdrant (when >1M vectors or hybrid retrieval) | — |
+| Logging | slog (structured) | — | — |
+| Testing | Table-driven, testify | — | — |
+| Agents (Go) | google.golang.org/adk + pkg/litellm adapter | — | — |
+
+Exploratory: Rust, Zig — I'll tell you when I want these.
+
+## Code conventions
+
+- **Go style**: golines, gofumpt, golangci-lint
+- **Errors**: `fmt.Errorf("operation: %w", err)` — never naked, never log-and-return
+- **Naming**: stdlib conventions, no stuttering
+- **Architecture**: prefer stdlib over frameworks, constructor injection, env-var config parsed into typed structs
+- **Git**: conventional commits (`feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`), commit directly to main,
+  one logical change per commit, CI is the quality gate
+- **Never**: long-lived feature branches, PRs for solo work, direct push without
+  passing `task check` locally first
+- **Security**: no secrets in code, govulncheck before adding deps, SOPS for encrypted config
+- **Dependencies**: prefer stdlib. testify, slog, templ, sqlc, google.golang.org/adk (agent projects only) are pre-approved; anything else needs justification in the commit message
+
+## Secret handling (every harness, every command)
+
+Tool output is persisted: terminal → `~/.claude/projects` transcripts →
+claudewatcher → brain/wiki → gitea history. A secret printed once is
+searchable forever, and clearing it means rotating the key. So:
+
+1. **Never print, echo, log, or transform a secret to inspect it.** No
+   `base64`/`xxd`/`cat` of a key, and never pipe a secret through a transform
+   to defeat `op run`'s output masking (it masks raw values; base64 hides them
+   from the mask — that exact trick leaked a key on 2026-06-11).
+2. **Secrets stay in the subprocess.** Reference them only as env vars consumed
+   *inside* `op run --env-file ~/.op-env -- <cmd>`. Never place a literal secret
+   in a command's argv (it lands in the tool call and the transcript).
+3. **Existence check without revealing the value:** `[ -n "$X" ] && echo set` —
+   never `${X:-...}` (returns the value when set) and never echo a substring of it.
+4. **Cross-host secrets:** run the secret-consuming command on the host that has
+   the secret; do not forward a raw key over ssh argv/stdout.
+5. If a secret does leak into output, say so immediately and flag it for rotation —
+   don't bury it.
+
+## Infrastructure
+
+Three machines on Tailscale:
+
+| Machine | Role | Key specs |
+|---------|------|-----------|
+| koala | GPU inference, heavy compute | RTX 5070, runs k3s + llama-swap + shared postgres18/pgvector |
+| iguana | Services, builds | M2 Ultra Mac |
+| flamingo | Daily driver, edge | Mac mini, ~/dev is here |
+
+- **Model routing**: LiteLLM in front of llama-swap (local) + cloud APIs (when permitted)
+- **Orchestration**: k3s cluster across all three machines
+- **Networking**: Tailscale mesh
+
+## Project landscape
+
+All development repos live at `~/dev/` (softlink from `~/Documents/local-dev/`).
+
+Organized in thematic folders:
+
+| Folder | Focus | Count |
+|--------|-------|-------|
+| `GO/` | Go web frameworks, API integrations, learning projects | ~10 |
+| `AI/` | ML research, AI frameworks (FinRL, DSPy, crawl4ai) | ~6 |
+| `AGENTS/` | Autonomous agents, coding agents, MCP servers, infra | ~15 |
+| `QKX/` | Invoice processing, financial automation, payment systems | ~13 |
+| `XT/` | Climate data, sustainability (Klimatkollen, Garbo) | ~2 |
+
+See `~/dev/PROJECT_SUMMARY.md` for detailed descriptions of each project.
+
+### Key active projects
+
+- **super-koala** (`AGENTS/`) — multi-component agent stack with LangGraph, DSPy, MCP
+- **azure-tiger** (`QKX/`) — invoice extraction → ISO 20022 payment instructions
+- **gocrwl** (`AGENTS/`) — Go web crawler with containerized deployment
+- **koala-ai-stack** (`AGENTS/`) — local AI server infrastructure management
+- **klimatkollen** (`XT/`) — Swedish municipal climate data platform
+
+## Knowledge base — actively use it
+
+A persistent brain (BM25 search + LLM-synthesised Q&A) survives across sessions,
+hosts, and harnesses. It holds 100+ hard-won entries: infra incident postmortems,
+Go pitfalls, framework gotchas, design principles, ADRs. **It is not optional
+reference material — query it actively, not just when explicitly told.**
+
+### When to query (treat as a reflex)
+
+- **Before** starting a non-trivial task — search for prior art with the symptom
+  AND the system component ("how did we solve X in Y?"). 5 seconds beats 5 hours.
+- **When debugging** — search for the error string, the stack frame, the affected
+  service. Past you may have already paid this tax.
+- **Before adopting** a pattern, library, framework, or model name — check if it
+  was tried and rejected, or what the integration footguns are.
+- **When making architectural decisions** — search for the domain + "ADR" or
+  "decision" to find prior reasoning before re-deriving it.
+- **When a recommendation feels novel** — challenge yourself: "has this been
+  documented?" The brain often has it.
+
+### When to write
+
+After you discover something that **future-you would forget** and that **isn't
+recoverable from the code, git log, or PR description alone**:
+
+- Bugs whose root cause is non-obvious and generalisable beyond this project.
+- Framework / library / model-name quirks that bit you and would bite anyone.
+- Design principles validated under fire (e.g. "every `_get` needs a `_list`").
+- Postmortems for incidents: what broke, why, how diagnosed, what to do next time.
+
+DON'T write project status, sprint progress, PR summaries, or "what I did this
+session" — those rot fast and the originals are in git/gitea anyway. Brain
+entries that age well are about *why*, *how to avoid*, and *what to do when*.
+
+### How to access (per harness)
+
+| Harness | Query | Write |
+|---------|-------|-------|
+| **Claude Code, Claude Desktop** | `brain_query` (BM25), `brain_answer` (LLM-synth + sources) MCP tools | `brain_write` MCP tool |
+| **Crush, Pi, Antigravity, other MCP-capable** | same MCP server: `ingestion-brain` (via the `mcp__*_brain__*` namespace once authenticated) | same |
+| **Anything HTTP-only (curl, scripts)** | `POST https://brain-mcp.d-ma.be/query` with `{"query":"..."}` (auth via `BRAIN_MCP_TOKEN`) | `POST .../write` with `{"content":"...","filename":"..."}` |
+| **Browser / human inspection** | `https://git.d-ma.be/mathias/hyperguild` → `knowledge/` and `wiki/` markdown files |
+
+- **Scoping**: defaults to `public` collection; client projects filter to `{client}` + `public`.
+- **Routing**: brain_answer's LLM uses berget.ai as primary, iguana ollama as
+  fallback. Both are configurable in the `supervisor/ingestion-deployment.yaml`
+  on the koala k3s cluster; don't hardcode local-only model names into the
+  berget URL (see knowledge entry on namespace mismatches).
+
+### Quick reflex checks
+
+If you find yourself about to say any of these out loud, you owe yourself a brain query first:
+
+- "I think the issue might be..."
+- "Let me try X and see..."
+- "I'll just write a script to..."
+- "This is probably a new bug..."
+- "Has anyone done this before?" — *yes, probably, go check.*
+
+## Client work rules
+
+When working on a project tagged with a client name:
+1. Never send code, data, or context to cloud APIs — use local models only
+2. Never reference other client projects or their data
+3. Keep all artifacts within the client's git org / directory
+4. Treat everything as confidential unless told otherwise
+
+## Harness-agnostic principles
+
+This context is designed to work with any AI coding tool:
+- Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Open WebUI, Charmbracelet Mods/Crush
+- Pi Coding Agent, Mistral Vibe, Antigravity
+- Any tool that accepts a system prompt or reads a markdown context file
+
+The canonical source is always `.context/AGENT.md` (root) and `.context/PROJECT.md` (per-project).
+Derived files are committed (see *How context propagates* below) so a `git pull` on any host yields full agent context with no setup.
+
+## How context propagates
+
+Canonical sources of truth:
+- Universal: `~/dev/.context/AGENT.md` (this file)
+- Project: `<repo>/.context/PROJECT.md` (per-repo)
+
+Derived files (committed, regenerated by `task context:sync`):
+- `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `.cursorrules`, `.aider.conventions.md`,
+  `.context/system-prompt.txt`
+
+Workflow:
+1. Edit a canonical file. Run `task context:sync`. Commit canonical and
+   derived together. Push.
+2. On any other host, `git pull` brings both. Claude Code (tree-walking)
+   uses `CLAUDE.md`; Crush / Pi / Antigravity (cwd-only) use `AGENTS.md`;
+   Cursor uses `.cursorrules`; Aider uses `.aider.conventions.md`.
+3. `task check` runs `context:sync` then asserts `git status --porcelain`
+   is empty over the derived files (catches both modified-tracked drift
+   and missing-untracked adapters). A drift fails the check with a
+   message telling you to stage the regenerated files.
+
+Behavior rules in this file and per-project rules in `PROJECT.md` apply
+unconditionally on every host, every harness.
+
+## Engineering Skills
+
+Shared engineering skills are available in `~/dev/.skills/`. Load at task start — not "on demand" but on schedule, before writing code. See `~/dev/.skills/SKILLS_INDEX.md` for the full list.
+
+**Skill trigger table — load before starting, not after getting stuck:**
+
+| Task type | Load |
+|-----------|------|
+| Any feature or bug fix | `tdd` |
+| Refactor or design | `clean-code` or `solid` |
+| Debug | `problem-analysis` |
+| Review code or PRs | `code-review` |
+| Frame a problem before coding | `problem-analysis` |

+## Identity
+
+- **Name**: supervisor
+- **Owner**: Mathias
+- **Client**: personal
+- **Repo**: 
+- **Status**: active
+
+## Stack
+
+- **Primary language**: Go
+- **UI layer**: HTMX + Templ (when applicable)
+- **Fallback languages**: Python, TypeScript (justify in PR if used)
+- **Build**: Task (taskfile.dev), not Make
+- **Containers**: Docker (compose for dev, k3s for deploy)
+- **Target infra**: koala (GPU workloads), iguana (services), flamingo (edge)
+
+## Conventions
+
+### Code style
+- Go: follow `golines`, `gofumpt`, `golangci-lint` with project config
+- Tests: table-driven, in `_test.go` next to source, `testify` for assertions
+- Errors: wrap with `fmt.Errorf("operation: %w", err)`, no naked returns
+- Naming: stdlib conventions, no stuttering (`http.Client` not `http.HTTPClient`)
+
+### Architecture preferences
+- Prefer standard library over frameworks (net/http over gin/echo)
+- Dependency injection via constructor functions, not containers
+- Configuration via environment variables, parsed at startup into a typed struct
+- Structured logging via `slog`
+
+### Git
+- Conventional commits: `feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`
+- Branch naming: `feat/short-description`, `fix/short-description`
+- PRs: one concern per PR, description explains *why* not *what*
+
+### Security
+- No secrets in code, ever — use env vars or SOPS-encrypted files
+- Client data never leaves local network unless explicitly cleared
+- Dependencies: audit with `govulncheck` before adding
+
+## MCP endpoints
+
+Two MCP servers are live, both reachable over Tailscale and via HTTPS domain:
+
+- **`brain`** at `https://brain-mcp.d-ma.be/mcp` (NodePort `koala:30330`) —
+  `brain_query`, `brain_write`, `brain_ingest`, `brain_ingest_raw`,
+  `brain_answer`, `brain_classify`, `session_log`. Hosted by the ingestion
+  service. Auth: Dex JWT (claude.ai OAuth) or static `BRAIN_MCP_TOKEN`.
+- **`routing`** at `http://koala:30310/mcp` — Mode 2 routing pod. Advertises
+  `review`, `debug`, `retrospective`, `trainer`; per-call routes to local model
+  or Claude based on brain `/pass-rate`. Bearer auth via `ROUTING_MCP_TOKEN`
+  (opt-in). Only `mode client-local` registers this endpoint.
+
+The supervisor MCP (`koala:30320`) was retired in Plan 7 (2026-05-12). Its
+skill workers (`tdd`, `spec`) are now SKILL.md files; routed skills moved to
+the routing pod; brain tools moved to the brain MCP.
+
+The brain HTTP REST API (`/query`, `/write`, `/ingest`, `/ingest-raw`,
+`/ingest-path`, `/backfill-refs`, `/pass-rate`) remains available on port 3300
+for shell scripts and non-MCP clients.
+
+`brain_answer(query)` performs BM25 retrieval + LLM synthesis (berget.ai
+gemma4:31b → iguana fallback). `brain_classify(text)` infers doc type, title,
+and tags. Both require `BRAIN_LLM_PRIMARY_URL` to be set in the ingestion pod.
+
+## Agent instructions
+
+When acting as a coding agent on this project:
+
+1. Read this file and all `SKILL.md` files in `.skills/` before starting work
+2. Run `task check` before committing (lint + test + vet)
+3. If unsure about a convention, check `DECISIONS.md` or ask
+4. Never modify files outside the project root without explicit permission
+5. When adding a dependency, explain why in the commit message
+6. For client projects: never send code or context to cloud APIs — use local models via LiteLLM

+## Conventions
+
+### Code style
+- Go: follow `golines`, `gofumpt`, `golangci-lint` with project config
+- Tests: table-driven, in `_test.go` next to source, `testify` for assertions
+- Errors: wrap with `fmt.Errorf("operation: %w", err)`, no naked returns
+- Naming: stdlib conventions, no stuttering (`http.Client` not `http.HTTPClient`)
+
+### Architecture preferences
+- Prefer standard library over frameworks (net/http over gin/echo)
+- Dependency injection via constructor functions, not containers
+- Configuration via environment variables, parsed at startup into a typed struct
+- Structured logging via `slog`
+
+### Git
+- Conventional commits: `feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`
+- Branch naming: `feat/short-description`, `fix/short-description`
+- PRs: one concern per PR, description explains *why* not *what*
+
+### Security
+- No secrets in code, ever — use env vars or SOPS-encrypted files
+- Client data never leaves local network unless explicitly cleared
+- Dependencies: audit with `govulncheck` before adding

+## MCP endpoints
+
+Two MCP servers are live, both reachable over Tailscale and via HTTPS domain:
+
+- **`brain`** at `https://brain-mcp.d-ma.be/mcp` (NodePort `koala:30330`) —
+  `brain_query`, `brain_write`, `brain_ingest`, `brain_ingest_raw`,
+  `brain_answer`, `brain_classify`, `session_log`. Hosted by the ingestion
+  service. Auth: Dex JWT (claude.ai OAuth) or static `BRAIN_MCP_TOKEN`.
+- **`routing`** at `http://koala:30310/mcp` — Mode 2 routing pod. Advertises
+  `review`, `debug`, `retrospective`, `trainer`; per-call routes to local model
+  or Claude based on brain `/pass-rate`. Bearer auth via `ROUTING_MCP_TOKEN`
+  (opt-in). Only `mode client-local` registers this endpoint.
+
+The supervisor MCP (`koala:30320`) was retired in Plan 7 (2026-05-12). Its
+skill workers (`tdd`, `spec`) are now SKILL.md files; routed skills moved to
+the routing pod; brain tools moved to the brain MCP.
+
+The brain HTTP REST API (`/query`, `/write`, `/ingest`, `/ingest-raw`,
+`/ingest-path`, `/backfill-refs`, `/pass-rate`) remains available on port 3300
+for shell scripts and non-MCP clients.
+
+`brain_answer(query)` performs BM25 retrieval + LLM synthesis (berget.ai
+gemma4:31b → iguana fallback). `brain_classify(text)` infers doc type, title,
+and tags. Both require `BRAIN_LLM_PRIMARY_URL` to be set in the ingestion pod.
+
+## Agent instructions
+
+When acting as a coding agent on this project:
+
+1. Read this file and all `SKILL.md` files in `.skills/` before starting work
+2. Run `task check` before committing (lint + test + vet)
+3. If unsure about a convention, check `DECISIONS.md` or ask
+4. Never modify files outside the project root without explicit permission
+5. When adding a dependency, explain why in the commit message
+6. For client projects: never send code or context to cloud APIs — use local models via LiteLLM

+## 2026-05-28 — three active harnesses: hyperguild, agentsquad, Crush (extends earlier boundary decision)
+
+**Context:** After wiring Crush to LiteLLM in May 2026, there are now three active harnesses.
+The earlier boundary decision only covered hyperguild vs agentsquad. Crush's role was undefined.
+
+**Decision:** Three harnesses, three distinct roles, shared skills layer.
+
+| Harness | Engine | Primary use | Brain MCP? | Routing pod? | Skills? |
+|---------|--------|-------------|------------|--------------|---------|
+| **hyperguild** | Claude Code + MCP | Disciplined solo coding sessions, TDD/review/debug workflows | Yes | Yes | Yes (SKILL.md) |
+| **agentsquad** | OpenCode + LiteLLM | Multi-agent task execution, executor/reviewer pipelines | No | No (own routing) | Yes (SKILL.md) |
+| **Crush** | Charmbracelet TUI + LiteLLM | Interactive local coding, quick iterations on flamingo | No (not yet) | No (direct LiteLLM) | Yes (SKILL.md) |
+
+**Crush specifics (as of 2026-05-28):**
+- Config: `~/.config/crush/crush.json` on flamingo (see brain: `homelab/facts/crush-litellm-wiring-2026-05`)
+- Connects directly to LiteLLM at `http://koala:4000/v1/` using `sk-local-123`
+- Auth type: `openai-compat` (not `openai`)
+- Does NOT go through the routing pod — model selection is manual in the Crush UI
+- Brain MCP not wired — Crush has no MCP client capability today; revisit if Crush adds MCP support
+
+**Shared across all three:**
+- `mathias/skills` — any SKILL.md file works in all three harnesses
+- LiteLLM proxy on koala (`http://koala:4000/v1/`) — Crush and agentsquad both route through it; hyperguild does too for local model calls
+
+**Consequences:** No consolidation needed. crush.json must be kept in sync when litellm_config.yaml model names change. The `crush.json` canonical location is `~/.config/crush/crush.json` on flamingo — not yet tracked in a dotfiles repo (track as tech debt).

+
+## 2026-05-28 — "field benchmark" for local models = pass-rate at scale (supersedes GOTTH eval suite)
+
+**Context:** The GOTTH eval suite (45 offline prompts across 5 categories) was replaced by
+a "field benchmark" in May 2026, but the replacement was never defined concretely.
+
+**Decision:** The field benchmark is per-skill pass rate over real routing pod usage,
+collected automatically by `internal/routing/passrate.go` and exposed at:
+
+```
+GET /pass-rate?skill=<name>&window=<duration>
+```
+
+No separate eval suite. No synthetic prompts. The benchmark runs itself once the routing
+pod receives real traffic. Target: 30-day rolling window per skill, reviewed monthly.
+
+**Bootstrap note:** With no session history, `passrate.go` returns `nil` and the router
+defaults to the thinking model for every call. The fast-model path activates only after
+real pass-rate data accumulates. Seed with real usage — do not pre-populate.
+
+**Consequences:** Zero maintenance overhead for the benchmark. The tradeoff is that results
+are only meaningful after ~2 weeks of real usage, and skills that are rarely invoked will
+have statistically thin pass-rate data. Revisit if a skill has fewer than 20 calls in 30 days.
+
+---
+
+## 2026-05-28 — brain injection in skill handlers: review is done, others unverified
+
+**Context:** The April 2026 scope reset listed "brain_query injection into skill handlers"
+as the top priority. As of 2026-05-28, `internal/skills/review/handlers.go` calls
+`brain.Query(ctx, ...)` before dispatching to the LLM — confirmed in code review.
+Status of debug, retrospective, and trainer handlers is unverified.
+
+**Decision:** Treat review as the reference implementation. Verify debug, retrospective,
+trainer against the same pattern before shipping new skill work. Tracked in issue #32.
+
+**Consequences:** The April concern may be stale for review. A one-pass audit of the other
+three skill handlers closes this fully.

 ## 2026-04-08 — AGENTS.md as cross-tool standard, not CLAUDE.md
 
 **Context**: Multiple tools (Crush, Pi, Antigravity) read `AGENTS.md` natively. Claude Code reads `CLAUDE.md`. Building on `CLAUDE.md` as the primary format locks into one vendor.

+## Plan 6: routing pod reuses internal/skills/{review,debug,retrospective,trainer}
+
+Plan 6 (Mode 2 routing pod, 2026-05-04) introduces a second consumer of
+the four cost-routable skill packages. The routing pod constructs each
+skill via `<pkg>.New(Config{...})` and hands it `routing.Router.Run` as
+the `CompleteFunc`.

+**Preserved code (do not delete):**

+- `internal/routing/`, `cmd/routing/`

+## Plan 7: supervisor pod retired (2026-05-12)
+
+**What was deleted:** `cmd/supervisor/`, `internal/skills/{tdd,spec}/`,
+root `Dockerfile`, supervisor k8s manifests (Deployment, Service, Ingress,
+NodePort 30320), `supervisor` entry removed from all `.mcp.json` configs.
+
+**Coverage:** `tdd`/`spec` → SKILL.md files in `~/dev/.skills/`; `review`,

+brain MCP; `tier` → `hyperguild tier` CLI.

+## 2026-05-12 — brain_answer and brain_classify: LLM routing via berget.ai → iguana
+
+**Context:** Brain MCP returned raw BM25 excerpts with no synthesis. Adding
+LLM-backed tools enables Q&A and ingestion enrichment without a separate service.
+
+**Decision:** Two new MCP tools in the ingestion service (`ingestion/internal/mcp/`):
+- `brain_answer(query)` — BM25 top-10 → LLM synthesis → answer + sources
+- `brain_classify(text)` — LLM classifies doc into type/title/tags
+
+Primary LLM: berget.ai `gemma4:31b` (EU cloud, spend tokens while available).
+Fallback: iguana `gemma4:31b` (local Ollama). Reranker deferred to follow-up.
+Router lives in `ingestion/internal/llm.Router`; opt-in via `BRAIN_LLM_PRIMARY_URL`.
+
+**Consequences:** Brain becomes a knowledge assistant, not just a search index.
+When berget.ai tokens run out, flip `BRAIN_LLM_PRIMARY_URL` to iguana.

+## 2026-05-18 — project_create commits staging namespace directly to infra main
+
+**Context:** `project_create` writes a k8s namespace manifest into the infra

+implementation pushed to a `staging/<name>` branch, which required manual PR
+merge before Flux saw the namespace — defeating the "one tool call, project
+exists, staging reconciling within 60s" goal.
+
+**Decision:** Option A — commit directly to `main`. `callInfraCommit` passes
+`branch: "main"` to gitea-mcp's `file_write_branch`; no PR, no merge step.
+
+**Consequences:** Staging namespace appears in cluster within ~60s of the
+`project_create` call. Consistent with project-wide TBD policy (CLAUDE.md):
+commit directly to main, every commit deployable. Acceptable because the
+manifest is a fresh namespace under `k3s/staging/<name>/` — isolated, low
+blast-radius, and Flux will simply recreate it if the file is bad. Manual
+review gating was friction for no compensating safety gain on experiment
+namespaces.

+## 2026-05-18 — pgvector over Qdrant for brain hybrid retrieval (supersedes 2026-04-08)
+
+**Context:** The 2026-04-08 ADR chose Qdrant for vector store. Since then,
+postgres18 with pgvector has been deployed in the `databases` namespace on
+koala and is already the shared default for the rest of the project
+(CLAUDE.md lists `pgvector (vector), BM25` as the primary search layer and
+Qdrant only as a fallback "when >1M vectors or hybrid retrieval"). Qdrant
+itself has never been deployed — `kubectl get` finds no pod, service, or
+manifest. Standing up a new vector engine for a single consumer is friction
+that the original ADR did not weigh.
+
+**Decision:** Use pgvector for brain hybrid retrieval. Issue #8 — and any
+follow-on embedding work — targets the existing `postgres18` instance:
+
+- one table `brain_embeddings(path TEXT PRIMARY KEY, embedding VECTOR(768), updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ)`,
+  IVFFlat or HNSW index by feel once volume warrants
+- BM25 stays as today (file walk + token frequency); cosine via pgvector
+- hybrid scoring done in SQL or Go; pick once we measure
+- nomic-embed-text on iguana ollama provides 768-dim vectors
+
+**Consequences:** One database engine instead of two. Backups, monitoring,
+and connection pooling already solved. Trade-off: pgvector at >1M vectors
+or under hybrid-search load may underperform Qdrant — revisit only when
+benchmarks hurt. The 2026-04-08 ADR is superseded for the brain use case;
+Qdrant remains the noted fallback path in CLAUDE.md if scale demands it.

+## Hypothesis
+
+> We believe routing skill tasks through local models, backed by brain context,
+> produces measurably better outcomes than raw Claude Code alone —
+> measurable by per-skill pass rate over rolling 30-day windows
+> (available at `GET /pass-rate?skill=<name>&window=30d` on the brain pod).

+This is the falsifiable claim the routing pod and pass-rate infrastructure exist to test.
+If per-skill pass rates don't improve over baseline (all-cloud) after 30 days of real
+usage, the fast-model routing path should be reconsidered.

+Authoring rules:
+- Each question maps to **one** clear-best entry. Avoid ambiguous
+  questions where multiple slugs could be the right answer.

+# Agent-Consumer Brain Intent Analysis — koala column
+
+**Consumer:** `autonomous_agent` (all rows). **Host:** koala. **Date:** 2026-06-15.
+**Raw rows:** `agent-intent-column.jsonl` (46 real knowledge-acts + 1 excluded false-positive).
+
+## Caveat — canonical schema not on this host
+
+The shared closed-vocabulary file `brain-intent-extraction.md` **does not exist on
+koala** — the only reference to it is inside *this task's own prompt*. The intent
+vocabulary below was **reconstructed** from the prompt's framing + `brain/schema.md`.
+Every row carries `schema_source: reconstructed`. If the canonical vocab differs,
+re-map the `intent` field; the `intent_tool_match` / `workaround` / `observed_friction`
+evidence stands regardless of label names.
+
+**Reconstructed closed vocab:** `semantic_retrieval`, `lexical_lookup`,
+`check_prior_art`, `synthesized_answer`, `store_new_knowledge`, `update_or_supersede`,
+`ingest_raw_source`, `verify_write_landed`, `discover_capability`, `intent_unclear`.
+
+## Corpus
+
+- `~/.claude/projects/*/*.jsonl` — Claude Code agent transcripts (98 files). **The only
+  source with brain calls.**
+- `brain/sessions/*.jsonl` — empty (only `.gitkeep`).
+- `agentsquad docs/eval/*.jsonl` — code-review eval results, **not** brain calls.
+- No separate Crush session logs on this host.
+- **Zero** brain calls were human-typed. Every brain act is agent-initiated (the
+  CLAUDE.md "query as reflex / close-the-loop write" behaviour), so all qualify as
+  `autonomous_agent`. The human gave the top-level task; the agent chose every brain act.
+
+## 1. Intent histogram, split by `intent_tool_match`
+
+| intent | match | mismatch | partial | total |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| check_prior_art | 10 | 0 | 0 | 10 |
+| store_new_knowledge | 14 | 1 | 0 | 15 |
+| update_or_supersede | 0 | 5 | 0 | 5 |
+| synthesized_answer | 2 | 2 | 1 | 5 |
+| verify_write_landed | 0 | 4 | 0 | 4 |
+| semantic_retrieval | 0 | 3 | 0 | 3 |
+| ingest_raw_source | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
+| discover_capability | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 |
+| **total** | **28** | **17** | **1** | **46** |
+
+> Batch note: several rows collapse a same-second fan-out of identical-intent calls
+> (a10=3, a11=4, a14=5, a33=3, a34=3, a35=3). Call-level the corpus is ~62 brain calls;
+> the table counts the 46 distinct knowledge-acts. Frequency is deliberately *not* the
+> point — the mismatch column is.
+
+**37% of agent knowledge-acts (17/46) are interface mismatches.** Every mismatch falls
+into one of four intents: `update_or_supersede`, `verify_write_landed`,
+`semantic_retrieval`, `discover_capability` — plus one `store` that had to use HTTP.
+
+## 2. Mismatch list, grouped by intent (primary deliverable)
+
+### update_or_supersede → re-write same slug (5/5 mismatch) — HIGHEST VALUE
+There is **no update / patch / append / supersede verb**. When an agent improves a note
+it already wrote, the only move is to call `brain_write`/`brain_ingest` **again with the
+same filename/source** and hope the index replaces rather than duplicates. Observed:
+
+| slug | 1st write | 2nd write | gap | what changed |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `tapir-rls-identity-bootstrapping` (ingest) | 14:00:59 | 14:02:08 | 69s | condensed body |
+| `homelab-security-chains-not-bugs.md` | 09:28:22 | 10:32:49 | 64m | new worked example |
+| `webfetch-readme-when-image-or-flag-uncertain.md` | 18:31:23 | 18:34:23 | 3m | near-identical (retry) |
+| `gitea-mcp-per-repo-tools-404-and-rest-fallback` | 05:57:37 | 05:57:55 | 18s | content tweak |
+| `cannot-move-ingress-host-across-namespaces-flux-dryrun` | 13:59:50 | 14:00:13 | 23s | content tweak |
+
+Sub-30s gaps (3 of 5) read as "I wanted to edit but can only overwrite." The agent has
+no way to know whether the second write deduped or created a contradictory v2 — opacity
+the brain's own design principle (`mcp-tool-design-get-needs-list-partner.md`, written
+*by one of these very agents*) would flag: every `_write` needs a `_get`/`_update` partner.
+
+### verify_write_landed → lexical re-query (4/4 mismatch)
+No read-after-write / get-by-id confirmation. After every substantive write, agents
+re-query lexically to check the note is retrievable — and *reformulate the keywords*
+because they can't predict what BM25 indexed:
+- `exit-255` lesson: query `exit 255 unknown reason restart loop diagnosis` → write →
+  query `exit 255 unknown SIGKILL containerd`.
+- `extension-version-lags`: query `extension build pinned version...pgvector` → write →
+  query `pgvector postgres extension version compile error bump`.
+- `webfetch-readme`: write → write → query stuffed with the note's own section headings.
+
+### semantic_retrieval → BM25 keyword-stuffing (3/3 mismatch)
+Agent knows the *meaning* but not the *indexed words*, so it brute-forces phrasings of
+one need against a lexical tool:
+- **4-step chain on one Go bug:** `bytes.Buffer Bytes Reset aliasing slice sharing` →
+  `go buffer reuse map backing array bug` → (write) → `go map values all show same
+  content after loop` → `bytes.Buffer Bytes returns same data every iteration`. Symptom
+  and cause both known; no single lexical query bridges them.
+- Natural-language questions (`how to enable prometheus metrics on litellm proxy
+  callback`, `moved compose stack to new directory volumes disappeared empty`) shoved
+  into `brain_query`.
+
+### synthesized_answer → fall back to / hedge with brain_query (2 mismatch + 1 partial)
+`brain_answer` is frequently **not trusted as terminal**:
+- **Strongest signal:** 3× `brain_answer` at 15:08 (compose volumes / pi rebuild time /
+  litellm ModuleNotFound) → 3× `brain_query` at 15:09 on the *same three topics*. The
+  agent asked the synthesizer, was unsatisfied, and immediately re-ran raw search.
+- Dex→Authentik: `brain_query` and `brain_answer` fired **8s apart on one question** —
+  the agent pays both interfaces because it can't predict which returns usable knowledge.
+- (Counter-examples exist: `brain_answer` for episodic recall — "what happened with the
+  litellm migration on 2026-05-16?" — was consumed and not re-queried. So `answer`
+  works for *episodic/temporal* recall, fails for *how-do-I / does-X-hold* reasoning.)
+
+### discover_capability + store-via-HTTP (3 mismatch)
+brain tools are **not ambient** — they are deferred and must be `ToolSearch`-loaded each
+session. Agents fumble the discovery (`ToolSearch 'brain knowledge memory'` →
+`'brain'` → `'brain ingestion knowledge wiki'`) and, when MCP load/auth fails, drop to
+**raw `curl` against `brain-mcp` / hand-built `/tmp/brain_entry.json`**. One agent even
+`ToolSearch`-ed an `authenticate` tool, then abandoned MCP for the HTTP bodge — matching
+the known "brain/op MCP auth lapses too often" footgun.
+
+### Write-interface / layer schema confusion (cross-cutting)
+`brain_write` was called with **three different param shapes** in the same corpus:
+`{filename, type:"lesson", content}`, `{filename, content}` (no type), and
+`{wing:"tapir", hall:"failures", filename, content}` — plus `brain_ingest {source,
+content}`. Agents are unsure which verb and which layer (flat slug vs `wing`/`hall`
+knowledge routing vs raw ingest) a given knowledge-act maps to. This is the
+`knowledge/ vs wiki/` confusion expressed at the parameter level.
+
+## 3. `intent_unclear` rate
+
+**0 / 46 genuine brain acts (0%).** Agent intent is unusually legible because these are
+Claude Code transcripts: the surrounding task, the query/filename strings, and the
+write content all disambiguate. One row (`a47`) was tagged `intent_unclear` and
+**excluded** — its `brain_` substring was inside a git commit message, not a brain call.
+Example of the only ambiguity that arose: a `brain_answer` on "gitea MCP not working...
+how to authenticate" followed by an unrelated query — can't tell if the answer satisfied
+or was abandoned (`partial`, row a28).
+
+## 4. The single biggest intent↔interface gap
+
+**The brain offers one write verb and one lexical read verb, but autonomous agents
+perform four distinct knowledge-acts against them — and three of the four have no fitting
+interface.** The deepest gap is the **missing update/supersede path**: agents close every
+task by writing a lesson (the CLAUDE.md ritual), routinely improve it minutes-to-an-hour
+later, and — having no edit primitive — re-write the same slug blind, unable to tell
+whether they corrected the entry or forked a contradiction into the index. This compounds
+with the lexical-only read side: because there is no `get-by-id` or semantic retrieval,
+agents can't even reliably *find their own just-written note* to check it, so they
+keyword-stuff reformulated queries and hedge `brain_answer` with parallel `brain_query`.
+The interface is built for *append-and-keyword-search*; the agents are trying to
+*curate a living, deduplicated knowledge base*, and the seam between those two shows up
+as the 5 blind re-writes, 4 read-after-write re-queries, and 3 semantic-as-lexical chains
+that dominate the mismatch column.
+
+---
+*Evidence-only per task scope — no redesign proposed.*

+
+## Per-intent merged findings
+
+### update_or_supersede — agent: 5/5 mismatch (highest value)
+**Agent:** no edit/patch/append verb. Agents re-write same slug blind:
+`homelab-security-chains-not-bugs.md` (+64m), `tapir-rls-identity-bootstrapping`,
+`webfetch-readme...`, `gitea-mcp-per-repo-tools-404...`,
+`cannot-move-ingress-host...` — 3 of 5 sub-30s ("wanted edit, got overwrite").
+Cannot tell if write deduped or forked a contradiction.
+**Human:** `PENDING` — *look for: user editing a prior note, asking "update what I
+saved about X", or expressing frustration that an old fact is stale/duplicated.*
+**<<SYNTH>>** shared verdict once both filled.
+
+### verify_write_landed — agent: 4/4 mismatch
+**Agent:** no `get-by-id`/read-after-write. Agents lexically re-query their own
+fresh note with reformulated keywords (`exit 255 unknown reason` → `...SIGKILL
+containerd`; `extension build pinned...` → `pgvector ...compile error bump`).
+**Human:** `PENDING` — *humans may not exhibit this (they trust the write UI
+confirmation). If absent in human column, it's an agent-specific gap → flag.*
+**<<SYNTH>>**.
+
+### semantic_retrieval — agent: 3/3 mismatch
+**Agent:** meaning known, indexed words unknown → BM25 keyword-stuffing. 4-step
+chain on one Go `bytes.Buffer` bug; NL questions shoved into `brain_query`.
+**Human:** `PENDING` — *humans likely hit this HARDER (they phrase conversationally).
+Compare reformulation-chain length agent vs human.*
+**<<SYNTH>>** — likely the strongest cross-consumer overlap.
+
+### synthesized_answer — agent: 2 mismatch + 1 partial
+**Agent:** `brain_answer` not trusted terminal — 3 answers → 3 same-topic queries
+1min later; query+answer fired 8s apart hedging one need. Works for *episodic*
+recall, fails for *how-do-I / does-X-hold*.
+**Human:** `PENDING` — *humans may prefer `brain_answer` as primary (chat-native).
+If human match-rate >> agent, the tool fits humans not agents → key divergence.*
+**<<SYNTH>>**.
+
+### store_new_knowledge — agent: 14/15 match
+**Agent:** healthy, except 1 HTTP-staged bodge when MCP auth lapsed. Also surfaced
+write-schema confusion: 3 param shapes (`{filename,type}` / `{filename}` /
+`{wing,hall,filename}`) + `ingest{source}`.
+**Human:** `PENDING` — *humans rarely write directly; expect low volume.*
+**<<SYNTH>>**.
+
+### check_prior_art / ingest_raw_source — agent: 0% mismatch
+Lexical fits named-entity recall and raw-source capture. **Human:** `PENDING`.
+
+### discover_capability — agent: 2/2 mismatch (agent-specific)
+Brain tools deferred → `ToolSearch`-load each session; auth lapse → `curl` bodge.
+**Likely has NO human analog** (humans get ambient connectors). Candidate for
+"agent-only gap" bucket. **Human:** `PENDING` to confirm absent.
+
+---
+
+## Cross-consumer divergence — questions to resolve at merge
+
+1. **intent_unclear rate.** Agent = 0% (transcripts self-document). Human expected
+   higher (conversational, implicit). Big delta = the columns measure legibility
+   differently, not just intent.
+2. **Where does each consumer's mismatch concentrate?** Agent mismatch is
+   write-side-heavy (supersede + verify-landed = 9/17). Hypothesis: human mismatch
+   is read-side-heavy (semantic + answer). If true → **the interface fails the two
+   consumers at opposite ends.**
+3. **Agent-only gaps** (`discover_capability`, `verify_write_landed`) vs
+   **shared gaps** (`semantic_retrieval`, `update_or_supersede`). Shared gaps =
+   highest-priority evidence; agent-only = harness/auth issues.
+
+---
+
+## Combined headline — `<<SYNTH>>` (fill when human column lands)
+
+> Agent-side draft (to be reconciled with human-side):
+> Brain = append + keyword-search; agents want a curated, dedup'd, self-verifying KB.
+> Missing update/supersede path + lexical-only reads are the seam. **Open question
+> for the merge: do humans hit the same read-side wall, making semantic-retrieval the
+> universal gap — or do agents uniquely suffer the write-side (supersede / verify)
+> wall that humans sidestep via the chat UI?**
+
+---
+
+## Drop-in checklist (when human column arrives)
+1. Place `human-intent-column.jsonl` in this dir; conform to LOCKED schema.
+2. Fill every `PENDING` cell in master table + per-intent blocks.
+3. Resolve the 3 divergence questions with evidence.
+4. Replace each `<<SYNTH>>` with the reconciled verdict; write the combined headline.
+5. If canonical vocab surfaced: re-map both columns' `intent`, flip `schema_source`.
+6. Commit as `docs(brain): merge human+agent intent columns`.

+| `LITELLM_BASE_URL`    | (empty → falls through to airplane) |
+
+### `hyperguild brain query <topic>`
+
+BM25 search over the brain's knowledge + wiki entries.
+
+```bash
+$ hyperguild brain query "find -H symlink"
+knowledge/2026-05-03-find-h-not-l-symlinked-root.md  score=12  Use find -H, not find -L
+...
+```
+
+Flags:
+
+- `--limit N` — max results (default 5)
+- `--json` — emit the raw response envelope
+
+### `hyperguild brain write <type> <slug>`
+
+Reads markdown from stdin, writes a knowledge entry.
+
+```bash
+$ cat <<EOF | hyperguild brain write knowledge example-lesson
+# Example lesson
+
+## Lesson
+...
+EOF
+knowledge/example-lesson.md
+```
+
+### `hyperguild brain pass-rate <skill>`
+
+Returns the pass rate for a skill over a lookback window. Computed
+on-demand from `brain/sessions/*.jsonl`.
+
+```bash
+$ hyperguild brain pass-rate tdd
+tdd: 47 / 50 = 94% (window: 7d)
+
+$ hyperguild brain pass-rate tdd --window 30d --json
+{
+  "skill": "tdd",
+  "window": "30d",
+  "pass": 142,
+  "fail": 8,
+  "skip": 5,
+  "total": 155,
+  "pass_rate": 0.9467
+}
+```
+
+Flags:
+
+- `--window` — lookback window (default `7d`; accepts `Nh`, `Nd`)
+- `--json` — emit the raw response envelope
+
+Skills with no logged invocations return zero counts and `pass_rate: null`
+(indicating "no data", distinct from "always passes").
+
+### `hyperguild mode <cloud|client-local|sovereign>`
+
+Writes a `.mcp.json` template for the chosen operating mode.
+
+```bash
+$ hyperguild mode cloud --out ./.mcp.json
+wrote ./.mcp.json (mode: cloud)
+```
+
+Flags:
+
+- `--out PATH` — output file (default `./.mcp.json`)
+- `--force` — overwrite an existing file
+
+Modes:
+
+- **cloud** — brain MCP only. Claude Code with no routing.
+- **client-local** — brain + routing pod. The `routing` entry points at
+  `koala:30310/mcp` (the routing pod, deployed in Plan 6). The
+  `X-Hyperguild-Mode: client-local` header is forward-compat for future
+  modes; the pod treats absent or unknown values as `client-local`.
+- **sovereign** — brain only, with a `_mode_note` explaining that this
+  mode primarily uses Crush + LiteLLM and the `.mcp.json` is a Claude
+  Code fallback for emergency offline use.
+
+## Environment
+
+| Var                   | Default                  | Used by             |
+|-----------------------|--------------------------|---------------------|
+| `BRAIN_URL`           | `http://koala:30330`     | `brain *`, `mode *` |
+| `ANTHROPIC_PROBE_URL` | `https://api.anthropic.com` | `tier`           |
+| `LITELLM_BASE_URL`    | (empty)                  | `tier`              |
+
+Override `BRAIN_URL` if your brain pod is at a different Tailscale name
+or port.

+# Spec: hyperguild CLI
+
+> Plan 4 of 7 — Hyperguild Skill Migration. Loaded after `feature-spec` skill.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Three needs converge on a single small Go binary:
+
+1. **Tier probing as MCP is overkill.** The supervisor's `tier` MCP runs on `koala:30320` and answers a one-shot question (which models are reachable right now?). Pulling Claude Code through MCP startup, tool listing, and a JSON-RPC call for a 2-second probe is wasteful and adds a network hop the answer doesn't need.
+2. **Brain access from shell scripts has no good front door.** The brain's HTTP REST API exists (Plan 1) at `koala:3300` for non-MCP clients, but every shell script that wants to query or write to the brain re-implements the curl invocation. A CLI gives shell pipelines, ad-hoc agent prompts, and quick-debug scenarios a stable interface.
+3. **Mode bootstrap is manual.** Each new project that wants to operate in a chosen mode (cloud / client-local / sovereign) needs a `.mcp.json` written by hand. Without automation, mode adoption is gated on remembering the right MCP server URLs.
+
+**Why now:** Plans 1–3 are merged. The CLI is the next building block in shrinking the supervisor pod toward a thin Mode-2 routing layer. Plans 5 and 6 build on the CLI's tier and brain helpers.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] `hyperguild tier` returns the same `tier.Info` that `internal/tier.Detect` produces for the same probe URLs, in < 3 s under all three tier conditions, with both human-readable and `--json` output.
+- [ ] `hyperguild brain query <topic>` returns BM25 results from the brain HTTP REST `/query` endpoint, exit 0 on success and non-zero on transport failure.
+- [ ] `hyperguild brain write <type> <slug>` reads markdown content from stdin, posts to `/write` with the type and slug, and creates `brain/knowledge/<slug>.md`. A round-trip (`hyperguild brain query <slug>` immediately after) finds the entry.
+- [ ] `hyperguild mode <cloud|client-local|sovereign>` writes a parseable JSON file at the target path with the per-mode `mcpServers` entries; `jq -e .mcpServers` succeeds on the output.
+- [ ] All commands print usage on `--help`, exit 2 on unknown flags, exit non-zero on operational errors.
+- [ ] `task check` passes (lint + test + vet) on each task and on the merged branch.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- **Stdlib only.** No `cobra`, `urfave/cli`, `viper`, etc. CLI router and flag parsing use `flag.NewFlagSet`.
+- **Go 1.26.1**, project default.
+- **Module:** `github.com/mathiasbq/supervisor`, peer to `cmd/supervisor/`. New code at `cmd/hyperguild/`. The module name keeps its historical `supervisor` value — renaming the module is out of scope and would touch every import.
+- **Reuse `internal/tier`** unchanged. The CLI is a thin wrapper around `tier.Detect`.
+- **Brain endpoint configurable** via `BRAIN_URL` env var (default `http://koala:30330` — Tailscale-exposed NodePort, both MCP at `/mcp` and HTTP REST at `/query`, `/write`, etc., share the port). No hostname literals embedded in the CLI body — sourced from env per the existing "logical-addresses-in-instructions" memory.
+- **Test discipline:** table-driven, testify, fakes for HTTP and tier probing. No live network in tests.
+- **Errors:** wrapped via `fmt.Errorf("op: %w", err)`. No naked returns. Stderr for errors, stdout for results.
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- The Mode 6 routing pod itself — `mode client-local` writes a placeholder entry pointing at the future routing URL with a `_routing_pending` annotation; the CLI does not provision the pod.
+- Pass-rate logging (Plan 5) — the CLI's `brain write` does not emit `session_log` events.
+- Skill worker CLIs (`hyperguild tdd_red`, `hyperguild review`, etc.) — those stay on the supervisor MCP until Plan 7.
+- Brain HTTP server changes — the REST endpoints already exist.
+- Authentication / TLS — Tailscale provides network isolation; no auth currently.
+- Windows/Linux binaries — macOS-only per the user's setup. `go build` is portable but no cross-compilation in CI.
+- A `crush` config writer for Mode 3 — Mode 3 (sovereign) writes a Claude-Code-compatible `.mcp.json` with brain-only MCP, on the assumption that even Crush-primary users may fall back to Claude Code with brain access. Crush's own config is owned by the user manually.
+- A unified `--config` file for the CLI — env var + flags is enough today.
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+- **Single binary, inline subcommand router.** `cmd/hyperguild/main.go` dispatches on `os.Args[1]` to per-subcommand functions, each owning its own `flag.NewFlagSet`. Rationale: 4 top-level subcommands (`tier`, `brain`, `mode`, plus `--help`) and one nested level (`brain query`, `brain write`); ~80 lines of routing plumbing in stdlib beats pulling cobra's ~3 KLOC of dependencies for a tiny CLI. The router is testable by injecting `args []string` instead of reading `os.Args` directly.
+
+- **`tier` subcommand reuses `internal/tier.Detect` verbatim.** Probe URLs (`https://api.anthropic.com` and the LiteLLM base URL) come from environment: `ANTHROPIC_PROBE_URL` (default the literal Anthropic URL) and `LITELLM_BASE_URL` (no default — error if `--mode-needs-llm` and unset). Rationale: matching the supervisor's existing wiring means the CLI cannot disagree with the supervisor about tier; a single source of truth.
+
+- **`brain` subcommand calls the HTTP REST API.** Two nested subcommands:
+  - `brain query <topic>` issues `POST /query` with JSON body `{query, limit}` (default `--limit 5`), prints results in human-readable form by default and with `--json` for machine consumption.
+  - `brain write <type> <slug>` reads stdin, posts `POST /write` with JSON body `{type, slug, content}`, prints the resulting path on success.
+  Rationale: HTTP REST is simpler than MCP framing for a CLI. Per CLAUDE.md, the REST endpoints are documented as the official non-MCP interface.
+
+- **`mode <name>` writes a per-mode `.mcp.json` template.** Defaults to writing `./.mcp.json` (cwd); accepts `--out <path>`. Per-mode bodies:
+  - `cloud` — `mcpServers` contains only `brain` at `http://koala:30330/mcp`.
+  - `client-local` — `mcpServers` contains `brain` at `http://koala:30330/mcp` and a `routing` placeholder entry with `url` set to a marker (`http://koala:30310/mcp`) and an extra field `"_routing_pending": "Plan 6 — routing pod not deployed yet"`. Rationale: keeping strict-JSON parseable means using a placeholder field rather than a JSON comment, which the spec parser would reject.
+  - `sovereign` — `mcpServers` contains only `brain`, plus a top-level `"_mode_note": "Sovereign mode primarily uses Crush + LiteLLM. This .mcp.json is provided as Claude Code fallback."`.
+  All three are valid JSON and all three round-trip through `jq` for verification.
+  Rationale: a single subcommand with three clearly-different outputs is easier to evolve than three nearly-duplicate subcommands. The placeholder fields are intentional documentation in the file itself, which the user actually opens and edits.
+
+- **No global state.** Each subcommand is a function `(ctx context.Context, args []string, stdin io.Reader, stdout, stderr io.Writer) error`, allowing table-driven tests to exercise full subcommand flows without `os.Exit` or fd capture.
+
+- **HTTP client injection.** A package-level `http.Client` with 5s timeout for `brain` calls, overridable in tests via a constructor. Real client for `main`, `httptest.Server` for tests.
+
+## Risks
+
+- **`.mcp.json` schema may evolve.** Claude Code's MCP config format is defined by the harness, and Anthropic could change it. Mitigation: document the format in the CLI's `--help` text and in the spec; if it breaks, the fix is local to one template function.
+
+- **Brain endpoint hostname drift.** If the brain moves off `koala`, the env-var override avoids breaking the CLI but the `mode` template's hardcoded `koala:30330` becomes stale. Mitigation: source the URL in the `mode` template from the same env var (`BRAIN_URL`) so all three subcommands stay in lockstep with the user's actual environment.
+
+- **`tier` probe URL gap.** The CLI inherits the supervisor's hardcoded `https://api.anthropic.com` probe URL via `internal/tier`. If Anthropic changes the URL, both supervisor and CLI break together. Mitigation: env-var override `ANTHROPIC_PROBE_URL`; default unchanged.
+
+- **No HTTP retry logic.** The CLI returns first-error to the user. For ad-hoc shell use this is fine; for automation a future `--retry` flag may be needed. Out of scope for this iteration.
+
+- **Tests don't cover live network.** Pure-fake tests catch regression but not "does the brain pod actually answer." Mitigation: add a smoke-test `task hyperguild:smoke` in a follow-up that runs against the real brain — separate concern, not in Plan 4.
+
+- **Mode 3 sovereign output may surprise users** who expect Mode 3 to skip writing a `.mcp.json` entirely (since Crush is the primary harness). Mitigation: the `_mode_note` field explains the choice; the `--out /dev/null` escape hatch lets users skip the write if they want.

+# Spec: Pass-rate logging
+
+> Plan 5 of 7 — Hyperguild Skill Migration. Loaded after `feature-spec` skill.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Plan 6 (Mode 2 routing pod) needs a per-skill signal to decide whether to route a call to the local model or keep it on Claude. The natural signal is recent pass rate: a skill that succeeds 95% of the time on local is safe to route; a skill that succeeds 60% is not. Today there is no such signal — the `session_log` MCP exists (shipped in Plan 1) but skills don't reliably call it, and no endpoint computes pass rate from the resulting logs.
+
+Two consequences:
+1. **Plan 6 cannot be trusted without baseline data.** Routing decisions made on guesses will produce regressions that erode confidence in Mode 2 entirely.
+2. **The skill library has no observability.** When a skill regresses (model swap, prompt drift, environment change), there's no way to notice until a downstream task explicitly fails.
+
+**Why now:** Plans 1–4 are merged. Plan 5 instruments the discipline that Plan 6 will consume. Several weeks of usage data between Plan 5 merge and Plan 6 deploy will mean Plan 6 lands on real numbers, not synthetic.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] After Plan 5 merges, every invocation of `tdd` (pilot skill) calls `session_log` at the end of each phase (red, green, refactor) with `final_status` ∈ {pass, fail, skip}.
+- [ ] At least 6 of the remaining "binary-outcome" skills get the same treatment: `code-review`, `debug`, `feature-spec`, `session-retrospective`, `trainer`, `spec-driven-dev`. (Skills with no clear pass/fail — `clean-code`, `cognitive-load`, `solid`, `refactoring`, `test-design`, `problem-analysis`, `user-stories`, `planning`, `atdd`, `gitea-ci` — are out of scope.)
+- [ ] A new HTTP REST endpoint `GET /pass-rate?skill=X&window=7d` on the brain pod returns valid JSON `{skill, window, pass, fail, skip, total, pass_rate}` for any skill name. Skills with no logged invocations return zeros (not 404, not error). Pass rate is `pass / (pass + fail)`; if `pass + fail == 0`, returns `pass_rate: null`.
+- [ ] The endpoint's aggregator normalizes legacy values: `pass` ≡ `ok`, `fail` ≡ `error`, `skip` ≡ `skipped`. No data loss when scanning historical logs.
+- [ ] An optional CLI subcommand `hyperguild brain pass-rate <skill> [--window 7d] [--json]` calls the endpoint and prints either human-readable (`tdd: 47 / 50 = 94% (window: 7d)`) or JSON.
+- [ ] `task check` passes (lint + test + vet + drift + govulncheck) on each task and on the merged branch.
+- [ ] One week post-merge, `GET /pass-rate?skill=tdd&window=7d` returns non-zero counts and a real `pass_rate`.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- **Stdlib + existing deps only.** The endpoint adds to the existing ingestion pod's HTTP handler (Go, `net/http`). No new service, no new pod, no new persistence layer.
+- **No auth on `/pass-rate`.** Same model as the rest of the brain HTTP REST API: Tailscale-only network, no token.
+- **Schema:** the SKILL.md template uses `pass | fail | skip` for `final_status`. The aggregator treats `pass` and `ok` as equivalent, `fail` and `error` as equivalent, `skip` and `skipped` as equivalent. New writes from skills MUST use the new vocabulary; the aggregator handles both for read-back.
+- **Storage:** continues to use the existing JSONL files at `<pod>/brain/sessions/*.jsonl`. No format change. No materialized aggregates. If on-demand scans become slow (>500ms p99), revisit in a follow-up; not now.
+- **Backwards compatibility:** the existing `session_log` MCP tool's signature does not change. Its docstring should be updated to reflect the new vocabulary, but argument types stay the same.
+- **Pilot-before-rollout:** the first SKILL.md instrumentation (`tdd`) must dogfood successfully — at least one real `tdd` invocation post-instrumentation produces a session log entry — before the other six skills get their updates.
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- Plan 6 routing pod itself (the consumer of `/pass-rate`).
+- Materialized rolling counters (compute on-demand for now).
+- Auth, rate limiting, or per-user filtering on `/pass-rate`.
+- Dashboards or visualization (`hyperguild brain pass-rate` text/JSON is the only UI).
+- Real-time streaming or push notifications (`/pass-rate` is poll-only).
+- Skills with no clear binary outcome (the 10 skills listed in Success Criteria).
+- Per-model or per-mode breakdown (`session_log` already records `model_used`; the endpoint aggregates across all models for now). Plan 6 may want sharper aggregation; we'll add fields when it lands.
+- Migration of the one historical entry in `2026-04-17-validate-hyperguild.jsonl` from `pass` (which is the new vocabulary, by accident) — no migration needed.
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### Component A — SKILL.md instrumentation pattern
+
+Each instrumented skill gets a standardized "Logging" subsection under its existing "Brain MCP Integration" section. The subsection names the required `session_log` fields with explicit copy-paste examples:
+
+```
+**At each phase end:** call `session_log` with:
+- `skill`: "<this-skill-name>"
+- `phase`: "<the-phase>"
+- `final_status`: "pass" | "fail" | "skip"
+- `message`: "<one-line summary>"
+- `duration_ms`: <wall clock>
+- `project_root`: "<absolute path to the project under work>"
+```
+
+The pilot SKILL.md (`~/dev/.skills/tdd/SKILL.md`) gets instrumented first. The implementation defines the contract; the rollout commits replicate the pattern across the other six SKILL.md files.
+
+Rationale: SKILL.md as the source of truth means the contract is visible to every agent that loads the skill — no hidden middleware. Mode-agnostic: the agent calls `session_log` whether it's Claude (Mode 1), Claude+routing (Mode 2), or Crush (Mode 3). The pattern is uniform; only the skill name + phase set differ.
+
+### Component B — `/pass-rate` HTTP endpoint
+
+New handler at the existing ingestion pod, peer to `/query`, `/write`, `/ingest`, etc.
+
+```
+GET /pass-rate?skill=<name>&window=<duration>
+→ 200 { "skill": "tdd", "window": "7d", "pass": 47, "fail": 3, "skip": 0, "total": 50, "pass_rate": 0.94 }
+```
+
+Algorithm:
+1. Parse `skill` (required) and `window` (default `7d`, accept Go-style `1h`, `12h`, `7d`, `30d`).
+2. Walk `brain/sessions/*.jsonl` in the pod's volume. For each line: parse JSON, filter by `skill == query.skill` and `timestamp >= now - window`.
+3. Tally `pass` (counts both `pass` and `ok`), `fail` (`fail` and `error`), `skip` (`skip` and `skipped`).
+4. Compute `pass_rate = pass / (pass + fail)`; if `pass + fail == 0`, return `pass_rate: null`.
+5. Return JSON.
+
+Rationale for on-demand: the JSONL files are append-only and small (one entry per skill phase, kilobytes per session at most). For the first months of Plan 5 usage, scanning all sessions for a single query is fast enough. If it ever isn't, a materialized index is a follow-up — the endpoint shape doesn't change.
+
+### Component C — Optional CLI subcommand
+
+`hyperguild brain pass-rate <skill> [--window 7d] [--json]`. Adds a third nested verb under `brain` (sibling to `query` and `write`). Calls `GET /pass-rate?skill=<>&window=<>` via the existing `brainClient` infrastructure. Default human output: `tdd: 47 / 50 = 94% (window: 7d)`. `--json` passes through the response envelope.
+
+Rationale: shell access to pass-rate without curl + jq. Optional in the strict sense — Plan 6's routing pod will call the endpoint directly, not via the CLI — but cheap to add (one new method on `brainClient`, one new dispatch case in `runBrain`).
+
+### Schema and normalization
+
+`session_log` JSONL line shape (unchanged today, codified by this plan):
+
+```json
+{
+  "session_id": "<id>",
+  "timestamp": "2026-05-03T20:30:00Z",
+  "skill": "tdd",
+  "phase": "red",
+  "project_root": "/abs/path",
+  "final_status": "pass",
+  "duration_ms": 12345,
+  "message": "Test written, function undefined, red confirmed."
+}
+```
+
+`final_status` values:
+- New writes (this plan onward): `pass | fail | skip`
+- Read aggregator accepts both new and legacy: `pass`/`ok` → pass, `fail`/`error` → fail, `skip`/`skipped` → skip
+- Anything else → counted as `skip` for safety (don't pollute pass/fail with malformed entries)
+
+### Tests
+
+- Endpoint: table-driven tests with a temp `brain/sessions/` directory containing JSONL files spanning multiple skills, multiple statuses (both vocabularies), edge cases (empty file, malformed line, timestamp outside window, future timestamp). Tests run via `httptest.NewServer` against the real handler.
+- CLI: tests for `runBrainPassRate` against `httptest.Server` fake of `/pass-rate`. Human and `--json` output paths.
+- Pilot dogfood: after instrumenting `tdd/SKILL.md`, one real TDD task in this plan exercises the logging path. The corresponding session log entry verifies end-to-end.
+- `task check` per task.
+
+## Risks
+
+- **Skills that don't reliably log produce missing data.** The aggregator returns zero counts for those, which Plan 6 may misread as "this skill always passes" or "this skill is broken". Mitigation: the endpoint returns `pass_rate: null` when `pass + fail == 0`, signalling "no data" distinct from "always passes". Plan 6 must check for null.
+- **Agents may forget to call `session_log` mid-skill.** No way to enforce in cloud Mode 1 — Claude may skip the call if instructions are unclear. Mitigation: SKILL.md template makes the call literal and copy-pasteable. After 1 week, if instrumentation rate is < 80% of expected calls, escalate; consider a wrapper at the routing-pod layer in Plan 6 as belt-and-suspenders.
+- **Schema drift between legacy `ok` and new `pass`.** Mitigation: the aggregator's normalization rule. Documented in the endpoint's response and in the `session_log` tool docstring update.
+- **`/pass-rate` walks all session files for each request.** With ~1 file per session and tens of sessions per week, this is microseconds today. At hundreds of files per day, may need a date-bounded directory layout. Mitigation: monitor; if scan time > 100ms p99, revisit. Not in this plan.
+- **The pilot may fail on the first dogfood.** If `tdd` instrumentation doesn't produce a log entry (e.g. agent didn't call `session_log`, JSON shape wrong, file permissions), the rollout to the other six skills is blocked until the pilot succeeds. Mitigation: explicit "pilot validates end-to-end" gate as the last step of Component A.
+- **Adding a third verb under `brain` slightly stretches the inline-router pattern.** Three verbs in a switch is still simple; if it grows to five, the CLI may want a per-verb registration map. Mitigation: deferred — three is fine.

+# Spec: Mode 2 routing pod
+
+> Plan 6 of 7 — Hyperguild Skill Migration. Loaded after `feature-spec` skill.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Mode 2 (`client-local`) is the cost-and-sovereignty mode for paid client work — keep skill calls inside Tailscale, save tokens, but stay reliable. Plans 1–5 produced everything Mode 2 needs except the consumer: the brain MCP at `:30330` is live, four skills are instrumented to log `pass | fail | skip`, and `GET /pass-rate?skill=X&window=Y` returns honest numbers (or `null` when there is no data). What is still missing is the policy layer that reads pass-rate and acts on it.
+
+The supervisor pod (`:30320`) historically hosted full skill workers (`tdd_red/green/refactor`, `code_review`, `debug`, `spec`, `retrospective`, `trainer`, `tier`) but with no routing — every call ran local regardless of skill quality, and Claude Code in client-local mode silently lost access to Claude-quality work even when local was wrong. That's the regression Plan 6 fixes.
+
+**Why now:** the supervisor pod is scheduled for retirement (Plan 7) and the data plumbing for routing decisions exists but has no consumer. Without Plan 6, Plan 7 cannot land.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] A new pod `routing` is deployed via Flux at NodePort `:30310`, alongside (not replacing) the supervisor and ingestion pods. Image built by gitea CI, deployment manifest under `infra/k3s/apps/routing/`. `kubectl -n routing get deployment` shows `1/1 Ready`.
+- [ ] `POST http://koala:30310/mcp` responds to `tools/list` with exactly four tools: `code_review`, `debug`, `retrospective`, `trainer`. Each tool's name + JSON schema is byte-identical to the supervisor's current advertisement (verified by snapshot test).
+- [ ] Bearer-token auth via env var `ROUTING_MCP_TOKEN` (same opt-in pattern as `SUPERVISOR_MCP_TOKEN` shipped in `f49850d`). Empty token = no auth; populated token = `Authorization: Bearer <token>` required, otherwise HTTP 401 + JSON-RPC `-32001`.
+- [ ] On every tool call, the pod queries `${BRAIN_URL}/pass-rate?skill=<tool>&window=7d` and applies a configurable policy:
+  - `pass_rate == null` → route to local (default-to-local)
+  - `pass_rate ≥ HYPERGUILD_ROUTE_LOCAL_FLOOR` (default `0.90`) → route to local
+  - `HYPERGUILD_ROUTE_LOCAL_CEIL ≤ pass_rate < FLOOR` (CEIL default `0.70`) → 50/50 deterministic sample (hash of canonical request body)
+  - `pass_rate < CEIL` → route to Claude
+- [ ] Both routes resolve to a LiteLLM call: local route uses `HYPERGUILD_LOCAL_MODEL` (default `qwen35`), Claude route uses `HYPERGUILD_CLAUDE_MODEL` (default `claude-sonnet-4-6`). LiteLLM at `${LITELLM_BASE_URL}` (default `http://piguard:4000`) handles provider routing. The routing pod has no direct Anthropic SDK.
+- [ ] Every routing decision is logged via `session_log` to the brain pod with `{skill: "_routing", phase: "decide", final_status: "skip", message: "<tool>: <decision>", duration_ms, project_root}`. `final_status: "skip"` keeps these entries out of any skill's pass-rate aggregation.
+- [ ] LiteLLM unreachable → fail open to a Claude decision *and* log `final_status: "fail"` for `_routing`. The pod must still serve requests even if LiteLLM is down for hours.
+- [ ] `cmd/hyperguild/mode.go` updated: `mode client-local` writes the routing entry with `"headers": {"X-Hyperguild-Mode": "client-local"}` and the `_routing_pending` placeholder field is removed. The pod accepts but does not branch on the header (forward-compat only).
+- [ ] `task check` (lint + test + vet + drift + govulncheck) passes on each task and on the merged branch. The CI gate that bit Plan 1 must not bite Plan 6 (per `feedback_per_task_verification` memory).
+- [ ] A new `task smoke:routing` target boots the binary against the live LiteLLM at `piguard:4000` and the live `/pass-rate` at `koala:30330`, calls each of the four advertised tools once, and verifies a `_routing` entry appears in the brain via `GET /pass-rate?skill=_routing&window=1h`. This is the live-contract test (per `2026-05-03-fake-tests-vs-real-contract` brain entry); fake-server unit tests verify policy logic, the smoke step verifies the contract.
+- [ ] Mode 1 (`cloud`) and Mode 3 (`sovereign`) are byte-identically unchanged. Verified by `git diff` showing no changes to `mode.go`'s `modeCloud` or `modeSovereign` functions.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- **Stdlib + existing deps only.** The routing pod reuses `internal/exec/litellm.go` (`NewLiteLLM`, `Complete`), `internal/registry`, and `internal/skills/{review,debug,retrospective,trainer}/`. No new third-party dependency. Auth code may be duplicated from `internal/mcp/server.go` or extracted to a shared helper — implementer's call.
+- **No new persistence.** Pass-rate data lives in the brain pod's session JSONL files (Plan 5). Routing-decision logs land in the same place via `session_log`. Routing pod has no DB, no cache, no on-disk state beyond an optional in-memory pass-rate cache (TTL = 60 seconds — protects the brain from per-call hammering during an active session).
+- **MCP wire format identical to supervisor's.** Tools have the same names and JSON schemas as today. A consumer switches modes by changing only the URL in `.mcp.json` — no schema-level differences. Snapshot tests pin this.
+- **Pod must start and serve degraded.** If LiteLLM is down at startup, the pod still binds to `:3210`, advertises tools, and serves requests with the fail-open-to-Claude behavior described in success criteria.
+- **`internal/skills/{review,debug,retrospective,trainer}/` survives Plan 6.** Plan 7's note about deleting them is amended: those four packages are reused by the routing pod and must NOT be deleted in Plan 7. Plan 7 deletes only `internal/skills/{tdd,spec}/`, the supervisor binary, the supervisor manifests, and frees NodePort `:30320`. This spec calls out the change so Plan 7's author doesn't delete needed code (per `2026-05-03-implicit-cleanup-third-category` brain entry).
+- **No retries beyond fail-open.** A LiteLLM call that errors becomes a Claude decision and a `final_status: "fail"` log. No exponential backoff, no circuit breaker — that's policy for a future plan once the failure shape is observed.
+- **Determinism in sampling.** When pass-rate is in the sample band (`CEIL ≤ pr < FLOOR`), the local-vs-Claude choice for a given request is reproducible: hash a canonical JSON of the request body, low bit picks local. Same input → same decision. Avoids per-call variance confusing the operator during a debugging session.
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- **Plan 7 (supervisor retirement).** Separate plan, executed after Plan 6 stabilizes. Plan 6 leaves the supervisor pod running; nothing about supervisor changes in this plan.
+- **Routing for `tdd_red/green/refactor`, `spec`, `tier`.** Per `project_per_skill_routing.md`, these are SKILL.md or CLI, not routing-pod tools. They never appear in the routing pod's `tools/list`. If a future plan changes that decision, it adds them then.
+- **Routing for `brain_ingest`.** Already routed at the brain pod (Plan 1). No change.
+- **Per-mode policy branching.** The pod accepts `X-Hyperguild-Mode` for forward-compat but treats absent or unknown values as `client-local`. No code path differs on the header value yet.
+- **OAuth, IP allowlisting, rate limiting, audit logging.** Bearer-token only; same risk model as the supervisor MCP after `f49850d`.
+- **Decision-log read endpoints.** Routing decisions land in the brain via `session_log`. Reads happen via the existing `GET /pass-rate` endpoint and JSONL inspection. No new read API.
+- **Materialized routing-decision aggregates.** Out of scope for the same reason Plan 5 deferred materialized counters: on-demand scans are fast enough at current data volumes.
+- **Tunable per-skill thresholds.** `FLOOR` and `CEIL` are global. If the operator decides `debug` needs a different floor than `code_review`, that's a follow-up plan with real data behind the choice.
+- **Sampling beyond a 50/50 hash split.** No epsilon-decay schedules, no Thompson sampling, no per-skill exploration policies. Add when data justifies.
+- **Migration of any existing supervisor-skill `.mcp.json` registrations.** Consumers update their `.mcp.json` (via `hyperguild mode client-local`) when they want Mode 2 behavior. No silent redirect.
+- **Routing-pod-side prompt customization.** The four skill packages already own their prompts; the routing pod just calls into them via the existing `Skill` interface. Prompt edits remain a SKILL.md or `internal/skills/<x>/` concern.
+
+## Technical Approach
+
+### A. Binary layout: `cmd/routing/`
+
+A new Go binary at `cmd/routing/main.go`. Stdlib + `internal/*`. Wires:
+1. Config from env (typed struct in `internal/config/routing.go` — peer to `Config` for the supervisor; deliberately a separate type because the surfaces are different and merging would force every routing-pod field onto the supervisor and vice versa).
+2. `internal/exec/litellm.NewLiteLLM(...)` — same client the supervisor uses.
+3. `internal/skills/{review,debug,retrospective,trainer}.New(...)` constructors, each receiving a `CompleteFunc` that wraps the routing decision (see C below).
+4. `internal/registry.New()` populated with the four skills.
+5. `internal/mcp.NewServer(reg, cfg.MCPAuthToken)` — reuse the existing handler with bearer auth from `f49850d`. The handler is generic; nothing in it is supervisor-specific.
+
+**Rationale:** the supervisor's runtime is already 80% of what the routing pod needs. Reusing it saves the routing pod from re-implementing skill dispatch, MCP protocol handling, and bearer auth. The only new code is the routing decision itself (C below) and the deployment manifests (G).
+
+### B. Configuration via env
+
+Typed struct, parsed at startup. New env vars introduced by Plan 6:
+
+| Env var | Default | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `ROUTING_PORT` | `3210` | Pod's HTTP port (NodePort `:30310` maps to this) |
+| `ROUTING_MCP_TOKEN` | — | Bearer token, opt-in (empty = no auth) |
+| `LITELLM_BASE_URL` | `http://piguard:4000` | LiteLLM proxy (reused) |
+| `LITELLM_API_KEY` | — | Reused, sourced from `routing-secrets` Secret |
+| `BRAIN_URL` | `http://ingestion.supervisor:3300` | In-cluster brain pod for `/pass-rate` and `session_log` |
+| `HYPERGUILD_LOCAL_MODEL` | `qwen35` | Model name passed to LiteLLM for the local decision |
+| `HYPERGUILD_CLAUDE_MODEL` | `claude-sonnet-4-6` | Model name for the Claude decision |
+| `HYPERGUILD_ROUTE_LOCAL_FLOOR` | `0.90` | At/above this pass-rate, always local |
+| `HYPERGUILD_ROUTE_LOCAL_CEIL` | `0.70` | Below this, always Claude. Between CEIL and FLOOR is the sample band. |
+| `HYPERGUILD_PASS_RATE_TTL_SECONDS` | `60` | Per-skill in-memory cache TTL |
+
+**Rationale:** every value an operator might want to tune is an env var, not a hardcoded constant. Defaults are the recommendations from the kickoff and the per-skill-routing memory; sensible cluster values flow in via the Flux-managed Secret. No config file to manage.
+
+### C. Decision policy (`internal/routing/policy.go`)
+
+Pure function, no I/O:
+
+```go
+type Decision int
+const (
+    DecideLocal Decision = iota
+    DecideClaude
+)
+
+type Policy struct{ Floor, Ceil float64 }
+
+// Decide returns the routing decision. passRate may be nil when the brain has no data.
+// requestHash is a deterministic 64-bit hash of the canonical request body — used only
+// when passRate is in the sample band; same hash → same decision.
+func (p Policy) Decide(passRate *float64, requestHash uint64) Decision { ... }
+```
+
+Rules (in order):
+1. `passRate == nil` → `DecideLocal` (default-to-local)
+2. `*passRate >= p.Floor` → `DecideLocal`
+3. `*passRate < p.Ceil` → `DecideClaude`
+4. Otherwise (sample band) → `requestHash & 1` picks local on `0`, claude on `1`
+
+**Rationale:** no I/O in the policy means the function is trivially testable (table-driven, no fixtures, no servers). Network calls happen in a wrapping layer that calls `Decide` — same separation as `internal/skills/*/skill.go` keeps prompt strings separate from `Complete` calls. Default-to-local rule is justified in `project_per_skill_routing.md`: the four advertised skills are exactly the skills marked "MCP→local" in that target architecture.
+
+### D. Pass-rate fetcher (`internal/routing/passrate.go`)
+
+```go
+type Fetcher struct {
+    BaseURL    string
+    HTTPClient *http.Client // 1s timeout
+    Cache      *ttlCache    // map[string]*float64 with 60s TTL, struct-internal
+}
+
+func (f *Fetcher) Get(ctx context.Context, skill string) (*float64, error)
+```
+
+Calls `GET ${BaseURL}/pass-rate?skill=<skill>&window=7d`. On success, caches the parsed `pass_rate` (which may be `null`) for `HYPERGUILD_PASS_RATE_TTL_SECONDS`. On error, returns `(nil, err)`; the dispatch wrapper treats this as `*passRate == nil` and routes to local (the default-to-local fallback also covers brain-pod-down).
+
+**Rationale:** GET is correct REST per `2026-05-03-rest-semantics-vs-precedent` (this is a pure read with query params; it shouldn't follow the legacy POST-everywhere precedent). Cache TTL of 60s prevents per-call hammering during a tight Claude Code loop while staying fresh enough that a flapping pass-rate visibly affects routing within a minute. No persistence — restart loses cache, that's fine.
+
+### E. Dispatch wrapper
+
+The four skills are constructed with their existing `CompleteFunc` signature (`(ctx, model, system, user) (string, int64, error)`). The routing pod wraps it:
+
+```go
+func (r *Router) Complete(ctx context.Context, skill, model, system, user string) (string, int64, error) {
+    pr, _ := r.fetcher.Get(ctx, skill)
+    decision := r.policy.Decide(pr, hashCanonical(system, user))
+    chosenModel := r.cfg.ClaudeModel
+    if decision == DecideLocal {
+        chosenModel = r.cfg.LocalModel
+    }
+    out, ms, err := r.litellm.Complete(ctx, chosenModel, system, user)
+    r.logDecision(skill, decision, err, ms)
+    if err != nil {
+        // fail open: try Claude once if we routed local; if Claude also fails, return error.
+        if decision == DecideLocal {
+            chosenModel = r.cfg.ClaudeModel
+            out, ms, err = r.litellm.Complete(ctx, chosenModel, system, user)
+            r.logDecision(skill, DecideClaude, err, ms) // second log entry, marked fail if still erroring
+        }
+        return out, ms, err
+    }
+    return out, ms, nil
+}
+```
+
+The skill packages don't know about routing — they receive a `CompleteFunc` and call it. The wrapper substitutes routing logic at construction time.
+
+**Rationale:** keeps the skill packages oblivious to mode. Same `internal/skills/review/` works under the supervisor (no routing) and under the routing pod (routed) without any conditional logic in the skill itself. Plan 7's deletion of the supervisor leaves the skills' shape intact for the routing pod.
+
+### F. Decision logging (`internal/routing/log.go`)
+
+After every decision, POST a session log entry to `${BRAIN_URL}/write` (the brain pod's existing endpoint, which appends to `brain/sessions/<session>.jsonl`). Entry shape:
+
+```json
+{
+  "skill": "_routing",
+  "phase": "decide",
+  "final_status": "skip",
+  "message": "<original_skill>: <decision> (pass_rate=<value or 'null'>, model=<chosen>)",
+  "duration_ms": <litellm_round_trip>,
+  "project_root": "<path from request, or 'unknown'>",
+  "timestamp": "<RFC3339>",
+  "session_id": "<from request, or generated>"
+}
+```
+
+`final_status: "skip"` keeps these entries out of any real skill's pass-rate aggregation (Plan 5's aggregator counts only `pass`/`fail`). Operators can still query `GET /pass-rate?skill=_routing&window=7d` for routing-failure visibility (when LiteLLM down → `final_status: "fail"` in the second log entry).
+
+**Rationale:** closes the observability loop without adding a new endpoint or schema. `_routing` namespaces routing entries away from skill names. `skip` is the only honest classification — routing isn't itself a pass/fail event in the skill sense.
+
+### G. Deployment
+
+New manifest directory `infra/k3s/apps/routing/` mirroring `infra/k3s/apps/supervisor/`'s shape:
+
+- `namespace.yaml` — namespace `routing` (peer to `supervisor`)
+- `deployment.yaml` — single replica, nodeSelector koala, image from gitea registry, `envFrom: secretRef: routing-secrets`
+- `service.yaml` — ClusterIP on port 3210
+- `nodeport.yaml` — NodePort 30310 → service 3210
+- `secrets.enc.yaml` — SOPS-encrypted, contains `LITELLM_API_KEY` and (optionally) `ROUTING_MCP_TOKEN`
+- `kustomization.yaml` — bundles the above
+
+The supervisor pod's CI image build pattern (gitea Actions → `gitea.d-ma.be/mathias/supervisor:<sha>`) is replicated for `gitea.d-ma.be/mathias/routing:<sha>`. Flux's existing image-automation will bump the manifest's image tag on each push.
+
+**Rationale:** copying the supervisor pod's manifest shape (rather than designing from scratch) is the YAGNI move. Flux + image automation already proven on supervisor; same pattern, same operator mental model. Mode 2 setup is now a Flux change, not a one-off `kubectl` ritual.
+
+### H. Live smoke test
+
+`task smoke:routing` (in the project Taskfile) does:
+1. Boot the binary locally with `LITELLM_BASE_URL=http://piguard:4000` and `BRAIN_URL=http://koala:30330`. Bind to a random localhost port (so it doesn't conflict with anything else).
+2. Send `tools/list` and assert four tool names.
+3. For each tool, send a minimal valid `tools/call`. Don't assert on response content — assert response shape (no error, has content).
+4. After all four calls, query `GET http://koala:30330/pass-rate?skill=_routing&window=1h` and assert `total >= 4`.
+5. Tear down.
+
+Skipped automatically when LiteLLM is unreachable or when run outside Tailscale (tier 3) — emits a `SKIP` line and exits 0. `task check` does NOT include `task smoke:routing` (CI runner doesn't have Tailscale); operator runs it manually before bumping production.
+
+**Rationale:** unit tests with `httptest.Server` fakes verify the policy and the dispatch wrapper logic. The smoke test is the only thing that will catch a contract drift between the routing pod's `Complete` calls and the actual LiteLLM API, or a schema drift between `/pass-rate` and what the fetcher expects (per `2026-05-03-fake-tests-vs-real-contract`).
+
+### I. Mode-template update (`cmd/hyperguild/mode.go`)
+
+`modeClientLocal` is amended:
+- The `routing` entry's `url` stays at `http://koala:30310/mcp`.
+- A new key `headers` is added with `{"X-Hyperguild-Mode": "client-local"}`.
+- The placeholder `_routing_pending` field is **removed**, since the routing pod now exists.
+
+Tests in `cmd/hyperguild/mode_test.go` are updated to assert the new structure. README in `cmd/hyperguild/README.md` updated to drop the "not deployed yet" note.
+
+**Rationale:** Plan 4 deliberately scaffolded the placeholder for Plan 6 to fill in. This is the fill-in. Removing `_routing_pending` is the implicit cleanup the kickoff anticipates — making it explicit in the spec avoids a Plan-completeness gap (per `2026-05-03-implicit-cleanup-third-category`).
+
+## Risks
+
+- **Empty pass-rate window in the first weeks.** Plans 3–5 merged on 2026-05-03; usage data has not accumulated. With default-to-local active for all four routed skills, the first weeks of Mode 2 = "everything goes local." If local quality is rough on `code_review` or `debug`, the operator's first impression of Mode 2 is bad, and confidence in Plan 6 erodes before data lands. **Mitigation:** the FLOOR / CEIL are env-tunable. If local quality is unworkable in the first week, set `HYPERGUILD_ROUTE_LOCAL_FLOOR=2.0` (impossible threshold) and the pod becomes default-to-Claude with no code change. This is a deliberate kill switch for the early window.
+
+- **LiteLLM-as-single-dependency.** The routing pod has exactly one upstream LLM provider: `piguard:4000`. If LiteLLM is misconfigured (wrong model name routed to wrong provider, expired Anthropic key in LiteLLM's config), every routing-pod call returns garbage. **Mitigation:** the smoke test catches gross misconfig before deploy; once deployed, LiteLLM's own `/health` endpoint is the canary (the pod doesn't probe it — operator monitors LiteLLM separately). If a deeper failure mode emerges, add a routing-pod liveness probe in a follow-up.
+
+- **Skill-schema drift.** The routing pod's `tools/list` is asserted byte-identical to the supervisor's via snapshot test. If someone evolves the supervisor's schemas between Plan 6 merge and Plan 7 (a long window), the snapshot drifts. **Mitigation:** the spec documents that Plan 6 freezes the schemas; supervisor edits to skill schemas are out of scope until Plan 7 deletes the supervisor. This is a soft constraint enforced by the spec, not by code. If the supervisor genuinely needs a schema change before Plan 7, that's a separate plan.
+
+- **Flux drift on `kubectl rollout restart`.** Demonstrated during the bearer-auth rollout earlier today: Flux server-side-applies the deployment every 30s and strips the `kubectl.kubernetes.io/restartedAt` annotation, which deletes the new ReplicaSet's pod. **Mitigation:** the Plan 6 implementer prompt and the README note that `kubectl delete pod -l app=routing` is the correct way to force a restart on Flux-managed deployments — the existing ReplicaSet recreates without an annotation Flux can revert. (This finding is worth a brain entry; capture in retrospective.)
+
+- **Mode header not forwarded by Claude Code.** Plan 6 assumes Claude Code propagates `headers` from `.mcp.json`. The bearer-auth rollout proved this works for `Authorization`. The same path should work for `X-Hyperguild-Mode`. **Mitigation:** the pod treats absent header as `client-local` (the only mode that registers the pod). If forwarding silently breaks, behavior is identical — header is forward-compat only.
+
+- **Sample-band hash collision producing skewed routing.** Hash inputs are `(system, user)` strings. If skill prompts produce highly similar bodies (debug bug A vs debug bug B with similar wording), low-bit hash distribution might cluster on one side. **Mitigation:** at the volumes Plan 6 expects (single operator, ~10s of routed calls/hour at peak), bias is statistically invisible. If volume ever rises, swap `hash & 1` for a stronger split. Not the first failure mode worth pre-engineering.
