- **Exactly 8 words** - Keeps them focused
- **8-12 words** - Keeps them focused
- **Granular** - One thing per criterion
- **Discrete** - Clear boundaries
- **Testable** - Binary YES/NO you can check quickly

## 🔄 Version History

### v0.5.9 (2026-02-13)
- **Phase Discipline Checklist** — 8 positive disciplines and 4 red lines for systematic phase execution
- **No Agents for Instant Operations** — Direct tools (Grep/Glob/Read) required when answer obtainable in <2 seconds
- **Voice Phase Announcements mandatory at ALL effort levels** — No gating; curls serve both audio and dashboard tracking
- **Plan Mode clarified** — Not "extra IQ" but structured exploration, read-only constraint, and approval checkpoint
- **Capability Audit format scales by effort level** — One-line (Instant/Fast), compact (Standard), full matrix (Extended+)
- **ISC improvement emphasis** — Capabilities evaluated for ISC quality improvement (primary) before execution (secondary)
- **Cross-section combination guidance** — Single-section capability selections flagged as insufficient

### v0.5.8 (2026-02-12)
- **Context Recovery** — Conditional prior-work recovery with hard speed gate (≤34s total) using Grep/Glob/Read only
- **Recovery Mode Detection** — Same-session, post-compaction, and cold-start modes with appropriate strategies
- **ISC-Aware Resumption** — Resume from last incomplete phase using PRD frontmatter fields
- **Algorithm Reflection Readback** — Apply past Q2/Q3 answers to improve current ISC and capability selection
- **Prerequisite Validation** — ENV, DEPS, STATE, FILES checks before execution planning
- **File-Edit Manifest** — Extended+ effort level maps criteria to file changes for mechanical BUILD execution

### v0.5.3 (2026-02-12)
- **PRD Integration** — Every Algorithm run creates or continues a PRD (Product Requirements Document) on disk as persistent memory
- **Dual-Tracking** — ISC lives in both working memory (TaskCreate) and persistent memory (PRD file) with sync rules
