feat(wasm): add parse_month_year, base32_decode_lenient, guess_mime exports

Plan B Phase 8 — three #[wasm_bindgen] exports for the parsers migrated
in Phase 7, mirrored in extension/src/wasm.d.ts under "Pure parsers
(no session needed)". snake_case JS naming consistent with every
existing export; SessionHandle not required.

- parse_month_year(s) → { month, year } via js_value_for
- base32_decode_lenient(s) → Uint8Array
- guess_mime(filename) → string

Tests in session_tests mod cover the OK paths; error-path / JsValue
serialization can't be tested natively (JsError construction panics
off-wasm) and is covered in core (time::tests + base32::tests).

Plan C will wire SW message handlers consuming these exports in a
future round; this commit delivers only the seam.

Includes simplify-feedback fixes:
- relicario-core lib.rs module-list mentions base32 and mime
- item_types/totp.rs neighbour comment unified to ///-style block

cargo test --workspace: green
cargo clippy --workspace: silent
cargo build -p relicario-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown: clean

 # Changelog
 
-## Unreleased
+## v0.5.0 — 2026-05-02
+
+Three release trains roll into one tag — backup/restore + LastPass
+import (originally v0.3.0), device authentication (originally v0.4.0),
+and the v0.5.0 polish + harden bundle (security fixes + UX fixes +
+two confirmed bugs).
+
+### Security
+
+- **Pre-receive hook now actually verifies signatures (audit S1, HIGH).**
+  Earlier `relicario-server` builds accepted any commit with a
+  `Good signature` line on stderr regardless of which key signed it —
+  device-auth was a no-op. The hook now builds an `allowed_signers`
+  file from `devices.json` at the commit (via `GIT_CONFIG_*` env, no
+  global git-config mutation), parses the SSH SHA-256 fingerprint out
+  of `git verify-commit --raw` stderr, and rejects unregistered keys or
+  revoked keys whose committer-date is at or after the revocation
+  timestamp. Bootstrap mode is preserved only when **both**
+  `devices.json` AND `revoked.json` are empty (closes an
+  empty-devices.json privilege-escalation route).
+- **Backup-restore tar unpacking hardened (audit S2).** `relicario
+  backup restore` no longer trusts `tar::Archive::unpack`'s defaults.
+  A new `relicario_core::safe_unpack_git_archive` validates each
+  entry's path components (rejects `..`, absolute paths, Windows
+  drive prefixes), rejects symlinks/hardlinks, and caps total
+  uncompressed size at the lower of 100×compressed-bytes or 1 GiB.
+  The CLI restore path adds a paranoid `dest.starts_with(.git/)`
+  check after path-joining as defense-in-depth.
+- **`RELICARIO_*` env-var surface audited (audit S3).** `docs/SECURITY.md`
+  gains a per-variable trust table. `RELICARIO_NO_GROUPS_CACHE` (a
+  developer escape hatch, not a user knob) is now
+  `cfg(debug_assertions)`-gated and is a no-op in `--release` builds;
+  the env-var lookup is removed from the binary by the optimiser.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Strength meter no longer goes stale after the regenerate button (B1).**
+  Programmatic `input.value = newPassword` doesn't fire `input`
+  events; the regenerate handler now dispatches a synthetic
+  `InputEvent('input', { bubbles: true })` so the meter listener
+  re-rates the new value.
+- **Snake_case error codes no longer leak into the UI (B2 / P4).**
+  Errors like `vault_locked`, `origin_mismatch`, `unauthorized_sender`
+  used to render verbatim in the fullscreen vault tab and (in some
+  cases) the popup. New `extension/src/shared/error-copy.ts` central
+  registry maps every service-worker error code to friendly
+  title/body/CTA copy; the popup and fullscreen tab consume the
+  same map. The fullscreen lock screen's `vault_locked` block now
+  reads `Vault locked / Unlock your vault to continue. / [Unlock
+  vault]`. A generated test enumerates the live error codes via
+  grep so the registry can't drift.
 
 ### Added
 
+- **Sidebar logo in the fullscreen vault tab.** The
+  `vault-sidebar__header` now renders the 16-optimized SVG logo
+  inline before the "Relicario" wordmark (20×20 px, `flex-shrink: 0`
+  so it survives narrow-pane wraps). Popup unaffected.
+- **Password coloring (P1).** Revealed passwords in the popup
+  item-detail, fullscreen item view, field-history viewer, and
+  generator preview render digits and symbols in distinct colors.
+  Defaults: blue digits, red symbols. Users can override via the
+  new Display section in settings (color pickers + live preview
+  swatch + reset). Defaults round-trip via
+  `chrome.storage.sync.password_display_scheme`; cross-device when
+  Chrome sync is enabled.
+- **Setup wizard hands off to the fullscreen vault tab on completion
+  (P2).** Both create-new and attach-existing flows now open
+  `vault.html` in a new tab and best-effort close the setup tab
+  after device registration succeeds — replaces the prior
+  setup-tab-stays-open terminal screen.
 - **Sync now button** in the extension settings view — surfaces the
   previously hidden `{ type: 'sync' }` SW message to users with success /
   error feedback.

   file `cmd_backup_export` writes on success). Reads "never" for
   fresh vaults, "4 days ago" otherwise.
 
+### Changed
+
+- **Form layout in the fullscreen vault tab is now visually consistent
+  (P3).** Notes, custom-fields disclosure, attachments disclosure, and
+  form-actions in fullscreen logins now sit inside a `.form-lower`
+  wrapper with the same `max-width: 960px; margin: 0 auto` envelope as
+  the `.form-grid` cards above. Removes the visual rhythm break at the
+  2-col → full-width transition. The popup surface is unchanged.
+- **Documentation refreshed for v0.5.0 (doc audit, 14 findings).**
+  `docs/architecture/overview.md` now describes four codebases (the
+  `relicario-server` pre-receive hook crate is no longer invisible);
+  `CLAUDE.md` project tree and roadmap reflect current state;
+  `docs/SECURITY.md` names the server crate and its `verify-commit` /
+  `generate-hook` subcommands and notes the without-the-hook-it's-
+  advisory caveat; `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` shows `settings.enc` as a
+  parallel artifact in the vault-creation flow; the foundational
+  design spec gains a "historical" status banner pointing readers at
+  the current docs.
+- `relicario generate` now consults `VaultSettings.generator_defaults` when
+  invoked inside an initialized vault. Explicit flags (`--length`,
+  `--bip39`, `--words`, `--symbols`, `--separator`) override the vault
+  default. Outside a vault, behavior is unchanged (length 20, safe symbol
+  set, 5 BIP39 words, space separator).

+//! Recovery-QR encoding for the reference image_secret.
+//!
+//! ## What this module produces
+//!
+//! Given a user-chosen recovery passphrase and the 32-byte image_secret
+//! (extracted from the reference JPEG via [`crate::imgsecret::extract`]), this
+//! module produces a 109-byte sealed payload that — at recovery time, with the
+//! same passphrase — yields the original image_secret back. The payload is
+//! intended to be rendered as a QR v40 EcLevel::M SVG via [`recovery_qr_to_svg`]
+//! and printed on paper, so a user who loses access to the reference JPEG can
+//! still unlock their vault if they remember the recovery passphrase.
+//!
+//! ## Why the format is structured this way
+//!
+//! The payload is an XChaCha20-Poly1305 envelope around the image_secret. The
+//! AEAD key (the "wrap key") is derived by Argon2id from a domain-separated
+//! input:
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! kdf_input = b"relicario-recovery-v1\0"
+//!          || u64_be(len(nfc(passphrase)))
+//!          || nfc(passphrase)
+//! wrap_key  = Argon2id(kdf_input, kdf_salt, RECOVERY_PRODUCTION_PARAMS) -> 32 bytes
+//! ```
+//!
+//! The `b"relicario-recovery-v1\0"` prefix is **domain separation**: it
+//! guarantees that even if the user reuses their vault passphrase as their
+//! recovery passphrase, the wrap key derived here can never collide with a
+//! vault master key derived in [`crate::crypto::derive_master_key`] (which has
+//! a different input shape entirely — passphrase + image_secret, no prefix).
+//! Without this prefix, a determined attacker who somehow recovered a wrap key
+//! could try it as a master key and vice versa.
+//!
+//! Both `kdf_salt` and `wrap_nonce` are freshly randomized per call to
+//! [`generate_recovery_qr`], so two QRs printed from the same passphrase and
+//! image_secret are different bytes — the printed QR does not leak whether
+//! the user has printed others before.
+//!
+//! ## Parameter-pinning rationale
+//!
+//! The Argon2id parameters used here are NOT [`crate::crypto::KdfParams::default`].
+//! They are pinned in `RECOVERY_PRODUCTION_PARAMS` at the value
+//! `KdfParams { argon2_m: 65536, argon2_t: 3, argon2_p: 4 }` — the same values
+//! the default happens to have *today*, but deliberately re-stated rather than
+//! referenced. This is because `KdfParams::default()` may evolve as we re-tune
+//! Argon2 cost for newer hardware, and a recovery QR printed on paper has no
+//! way to negotiate parameters at decode time. Changing the pinned values here
+//! would silently invalidate every recovery QR a user has ever printed under
+//! the previous parameter set. The const lives at module scope so the
+//! "pinned, do not change once shipped" property is visible at every use site.

+# Relicario Security Model
+
+## Cryptographic Protection
+
+Relicario uses two-factor vault decryption:
+1. **Passphrase** — user-memorized, zxcvbn score ≥3 required
+2. **Reference image** — JPEG carrying 256-bit secret via DCT steganography
+
+Key derivation: Argon2id (64 MiB memory, 3 iterations, 4 parallelism)
+Encryption: XChaCha20-Poly1305 (192-bit nonce, 256-bit key)
+
+## Manifest Integrity
+
+The manifest (`manifest.enc`) is encrypted with AEAD, which provides:
+
+- **Confidentiality**: Contents unreadable without master key
+- **Integrity**: Any modification detected and rejected on decrypt
+- **Authenticity**: Only master key holders can create valid ciphertexts
+
+### What AEAD Does NOT Protect
+
+- **Item deletion**: An attacker with write access can delete `.enc` files
+  or git-revert commits. The manifest decrypts successfully but won't
+  contain the deleted items.
+
+- **Rollback attacks**: An attacker can replace `manifest.enc` with an
+  older valid version. AEAD accepts any ciphertext created with the key.
+
+### Mitigation
+
+Item deletion and rollback are detectable via **git history**:
+
+```bash
+git log --oneline items/
+```
+
+For environments where git history could be rewritten (force-push):
+
+1. Enable device authentication (commit signing + pre-receive hook)
+2. Use a git server that rejects non-fast-forward pushes
+3. Regular backups with `relicario backup export`
+
+## Device Authentication
+
+When enabled, device authentication provides:
+
+- **Commit authorship**: All commits signed by registered device keys
+- **Push access control**: Deploy keys managed via Gitea API
+- **Instant revocation**: One command cuts off both signing and push
+
+Enforcement requires deploying the `relicario-server` pre-receive hook
+on the vault remote. The crate provides two subcommands:
+
+- `relicario-server generate-hook` — emits the hook script to install at
+  `<repo>/hooks/pre-receive`
+- `relicario-server verify-commit <sha>` — checks one commit's signature
+  against `.relicario/devices.json` and `.relicario/revoked.json` as of
+  that commit; the hook calls this for every pushed ref
+
+Without the server hook, signed commits provide authorship metadata only
+— any process with push access can land an unsigned commit, since
+verification is otherwise advisory.
+
+See `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-02-device-authentication-design.md`.
+
+## Access Control
+
+Without device authentication, access control is transport-layer only:
+
+- **CLI**: SSH key authentication to git remote
+- **Extension**: Git credentials in browser storage
+
+Device registration is optional but recommended for shared vaults.
+
+## Configuration env vars
+
+Relicario reads the following environment variables. Each is a trust
+boundary: an attacker who can set them in the user's environment can
+influence Relicario's behavior. They are listed here for security
+reviewers to audit the surface in one place.
+
+### User-facing (active in all builds)
+
+| Variable | Purpose | Trust |
+|---|---|---|
+| `RELICARIO_IMAGE` | Override the reference-image JPEG path used during vault unlock. | Trusted: filesystem path under the user's control. Read-only; its bytes feed `imgsecret::extract_secret`. |
+| `RELICARIO_GITEA_URL` | Gitea API base URL for `relicario device add`. Equivalent to `--gitea-url`. | Trusted: HTTPS URL. Used only in the device-add code path. |
+| `RELICARIO_GITEA_TOKEN` | Gitea personal-access token. Equivalent to `--gitea-token`. | **Secret**: anyone who can read this env var can manage the user's deploy keys via the Gitea API. The CLI never logs it. |
+| `RELICARIO_GITEA_OWNER` | Gitea repository owner (e.g. `alee`). Equivalent to `--owner`. | Trusted: opaque string. |
+| `RELICARIO_GITEA_REPO` | Gitea repository name (e.g. `vault`). Equivalent to `--repo`. | Trusted: opaque string. |
+
+### Debug-only (compiled out of `cargo build --release`)
+
+The following variables are gated behind `cfg(debug_assertions)` and
+are **no-ops** in release builds. The env-var lookup is removed by the
+optimiser from any binary built without debug assertions (i.e. the
+standard `--release` profile).
+
+| Variable | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `RELICARIO_NO_GROUPS_CACHE` | Suppress the plaintext `groups.cache` write. Developer debugging tool for the cache logic. |
+| `RELICARIO_TEST_PASSPHRASE` | Bypass the `rpassword` prompt during integration tests. |
+| `RELICARIO_TEST_ITEM_SECRET` | Bypass the `rpassword` prompt for item-secret fields during integration tests. |
+| `RELICARIO_TEST_BACKUP_PASSPHRASE` | Bypass the `rpassword` prompt for backup export/restore passphrases during integration tests. |

+# Multi-Agent Development Paradigm
+
+This repo uses a three-terminal workflow for large development lifts: one Claude Code session acts as **PM** and two act as **senior developers** (Dev-A, Dev-B), each working in their own git worktree on a parallel feature branch.
+
+A local relay MCP server eliminates manual message copying between terminals — agents call `post_message`/`read_messages` instead of asking the user to copy-paste.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+| Role | Terminal | Branch | Responsibilities |
+|------|----------|--------|-----------------|
+| PM | 1 | `main` (read-only) | Drive doc-audit follow-ups, review PRs, write CHANGELOG, authorize merges and tagging |
+| Dev-A | 2 | `feature/<release>-plan-a-*` | Implement Plan A tasks in their own worktree |
+| Dev-B | 3 | `feature/<release>-plan-b-*` | Implement Plan B tasks in their own worktree |
+| Relay server | 4 | — | Message bus; Ctrl-C to stop at end of lift |
+
+**User's job:** authorize merges (the PM asks), resolve escalations the PM can't handle, and watch the streams. You are no longer the message bus.
+
+---
+
+## Starting a lift
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- [ ] Kickoff prompts exist in `docs/superpowers/coordination/` (generate with the `multi-agent-kickoff` skill if not)
+- [ ] No uncommitted changes in main that would confuse the devs
+- [ ] `tools/relay/` is present (run `ls tools/relay/` to confirm)
+
+### Launch sequence
+
+```bash
+# 1. Start the relay server (this terminal becomes the relay log)
+tools/relay/start.sh           # prints copy-paste instructions, then starts server
+
+# Optional: use a multiplexer to auto-open all four terminals
+tools/relay/start.sh --tmux    # creates tmux session "relay-lift" with 4 windows
+tools/relay/start.sh --kitty   # creates kitty tab "relay" + 3 windows
+```
+
+`start.sh` prints the paths to the three kickoff prompt files. In each Claude Code terminal, run `cat <path>` and paste everything below the `---` line as the first message.
+
+---
+
+## Coordination protocol
+
+Agents communicate by posting structured blocks to each other's inboxes. Four message kinds:

+| Kind | Block header | When used |
+|------|-------------|-----------|
+| `status` | `## STATUS UPDATE — DEV-*` | After completing a task, getting blocked, or reaching a review-ready state |
+| `question` | `## QUESTION TO PM — DEV-*` | When a dev needs PM input mid-task |
+| `directive` | `## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-*` | When PM instructs a dev to proceed, hold, rescope, or approve a PR |
+| `free` | (none) | Ad-hoc messages not covered by the above |
+
+A well-formed `status` block:
+
+```
+## STATUS UPDATE — DEV-B
+Time: 2026-05-02T14:30:00-07:00
+Branch: feature/v0.5.0-plan-b-extension-ux
+Task: P4 / error-copy map
+Status: DONE
+Last commit: abc1234 feat(extension): centralize ERROR_COPY map
+Tests: green
+Notes: No issues. Ready for PM review of P4 before starting B1.
+```
+
+---
+
+## Using the relay tools
+
+All three Claude Code sessions have these tools available when the relay server is running:
+
+```
+post_message(from, to, kind, body)   → { id }
+read_messages(for)                   → RelayMessage[]   (drains inbox)
+list_pending(for)                    → { count, kinds } (non-destructive)
+```
+
+Typical dev flow per task:
+
+```
+1. read_messages(for="dev-b")           # check for directives before starting
+2. ... do the work ...
+3. post_message(from="dev-b", to="pm", kind="status", body="## STATUS UPDATE...")
+```
+
+Typical PM flow:
+
+```
+1. read_messages(for="pm")             # see what devs posted
+2. ... review ...
+3. post_message(from="pm", to="dev-b", kind="directive", body="## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-B...")
+```
+
+---
+
+## If the relay server isn't running
+
+Claude Code will show a yellow MCP connection warning for the `relay` server. The tools will be unavailable.
+
+Agents fall back to the manual protocol: they emit the structured blocks as text and ask the user to copy-paste them to the relevant terminal. This is slower but fully functional — the coordination protocol works either way.
+
+To restart a crashed server mid-lift:
+
+```bash
+tools/relay/start.sh
+```
+
+In-flight messages are lost on restart. Any agent with unread messages should re-post them.
+
+---
+
+## Generating kickoff prompts
+
+### Full workflow (spec → plans → kickoff)
+
+**Step 1 — Write a spec**
+
+Run the `superpowers:brainstorming` skill. At the end it invokes `superpowers:writing-plans` for each dev stream. Each stream gets its own plan file in `docs/superpowers/plans/`. The spec lives in `docs/superpowers/specs/`.
+
+**Step 2 — Invoke the kickoff skill**
+
+Say anything like:
+- "kick off the multi-agent thing for v0.6.0"
+- "spin up PM and devs for this release"
+- "set up the three-terminal paradigm"
+
+The `multi-agent-kickoff` skill auto-triggers on those phrases. It will:
+
+1. Auto-discover the spec and plans by date/release label (asks to confirm if ambiguous)
+2. Generate `docs/superpowers/coordination/<release>-pm-prompt.md` and one `-dev-<letter>-prompt.md` per plan
+3. Inject the relay paragraph, branch names, worktree paths, test commands, and scope partitioning automatically from the plans and `CLAUDE.md`
+4. Commit the prompts and print launch instructions
+
+N>2 devs works automatically — 3 plans produces PM + Dev-A/B/C prompts.
+
+**Step 3 — Launch**
+
+```bash
+tools/relay/start.sh        # prints prompt file paths, starts relay server
+# open N+1 terminals, paste each prompt below its '---' line
+```
+
+The skill reminder: run `tools/relay/start.sh` **before** opening the Claude Code sessions — the MCP tools need the server up when each session initializes.
+
+---
+
+## Ending a lift
+
+1. PM emits `REVIEW-COMPLETE` and `MERGE-APPROVED` for each dev's PR
+2. User merges each PR (the PM session does `gh pr merge` with user authorization)
+3. PM tags the release (only after explicit user `yes`)
+4. Ctrl-C the relay terminal — all in-memory messages are discarded
+
+---
+
+## Roles and boundaries (quick reference)
+
+**PM must not:** write feature code, merge without user authorization, tag without user approval, run `git push --force` / `git reset --hard` without asking.
+
+**Devs must not:** merge their branch to main, push `--force`, run `git reset --hard` without asking.
+
+**User must:** authorize all merges and the release tag. Everything else is delegated.

+
+**Verdict:** All CRITICAL and HIGH findings except H8 have been remediated. The codebase has been significantly refactored since this audit, making line number references obsolete but confirming fixes were applied.
+
+---
+
+## CRITICAL Findings
+
+### C1: Setup wizard web-accessible
+
+- **Original claim:** `web_accessible_resources` with `matches: ["<all_urls>"]` allows any website to inject vault config.
+- **Current state:** `extension/manifest.json` line 38 shows `"web_accessible_resources": []` (empty array).
+- **Router validation:** `router/index.ts` lines 29-71 verify sender origins (`isPopup`, `isSetup`, `isContent`) and return `unauthorized_sender` for invalid callers.
+- **Status:** ✅ **FIXED**
+
+### C2: Service-worker trusts every message
+
+- **Original claim:** `index.ts:116-441` ignores `_sender` and trusts all messages.
+- **Current state:** `service-worker/index.ts` is now 100 lines; message handling delegated to modular router.
+- **Router checks:**
+  - `sender.frameId === 0` for content scripts (line 42)
+  - `sender.id === chrome.runtime.id` (line 43)
+  - Returns `{ ok: false, error: 'unauthorized_sender' }` for invalid senders
+- **Status:** ✅ **FIXED**
+
+### C3: Capture prompt innerHTML injection
+
+- **Original claim:** `capture.ts:172-191` uses innerHTML with attacker-controlled strings in page DOM.
+- **Current state:** 
+  - Uses `createShadowHost()` (line 128) for closed Shadow DOM
+  - Builds DOM via `document.createElement` + `.textContent =` (lines 143-216)
+  - File header (lines 6-9) documents this pattern
+- **Status:** ✅ **FIXED**
+
+### C4: Autofill has no origin check
+
+- **Original claim:** `get_autofill_candidates` accepts URL from message payload; `get_credentials` returns any entry by ID.
+- **Current state in `content-callable.ts`:**
+  - Line 25: `const senderHost = safeHostname(sender.tab?.url ?? '')` — uses sender tab, not message
+  - Line 44: `if (!itemHost || itemHost !== senderHost) return { ok: false, error: 'origin_mismatch' }`
+  - Lines 46-51: TOFU origin-ack check before returning credentials
+- **Status:** ✅ **FIXED**
+
+---
+
+## HIGH Findings
+
+### H1: Argon2id unprefixed concatenation
+
+- **Original claim:** `crypto.rs:225-227` has `password = passphrase || image_secret` without length prefix.
+- **Current state at `crypto.rs:229-236`:**
+  ```rust
+  let mut password = Zeroizing::new(Vec::with_capacity(8 + nfc_passphrase.len() + 8 + 32));
+  password.extend_from_slice(&(nfc_passphrase.len() as u64).to_be_bytes());
+  password.extend_from_slice(&nfc_passphrase);
+  password.extend_from_slice(&32u64.to_be_bytes());
+  password.extend_from_slice(image_secret);
+  ```
+  Also includes NFC normalization (lines 224-227).
+- **Status:** ✅ **FIXED**
+
+### H2: Master key never zeroized
+
+- **Original claim:** `Vec<u8>` from `derive_master_key` and intermediates leak into heap.
+- **Current state:**
+  - `crypto.rs:212`: returns `Zeroizing<[u8; 32]>`
+  - `crypto.rs:232`: password wrapped in `Zeroizing::new()`
+  - `session.rs` (WASM/CLI): stores keys as `Zeroizing<[u8; 32]>`
+  - CLI rpassword calls wrapped in `Zeroizing::new()`
+- **Note:** JS string zeroization remains a limitation (acknowledged).
+- **Status:** ✅ **FIXED**
+
+### H3: Passphrase strength gate cosmetic
+
+- **Original claim:** Extension accepts any non-empty passphrase; CLI only requires 8 chars.
+- **Current state:**
+  - `setup.ts:152,640`: `score < 3` disables button
+  - `setup.ts:784-789`: server-side re-validation before create
+  - `generators.rs:124-130`: `validate_passphrase_strength()` requires score >= 3
+- **Status:** ✅ **FIXED**
+
+### H4: Git shells out without guards
+
+- **Original claim:** No hooks/gpgsign/editor isolation.
+- **Current state in `helpers.rs:41-55`:**
+  ```rust
+  cmd.args([
+      "-c", "core.hooksPath=/dev/null",
+      "-c", "commit.gpgsign=false", 
+      "-c", "core.editor=true",
+  ]);
+  ```
+  Comment explicitly references "Audit H4".
+- **Status:** ✅ **FIXED**
+
+### H5: WASM Math.random()
+
+- **Original claim:** `lib.rs:240-256` uses `Math.random()` for password generation.
+- **Current state:** `generate_password` calls `core_generate_password` from relicario-core.
+- **generators.rs:**
+  - Line 6: `use rand::rngs::OsRng;`
+  - Lines 61-64: Uses `Uniform::from()` with `OsRng`
+  - No `Math.random()` anywhere in codebase
+- **Status:** ✅ **FIXED**
+
+### H6: Modulo bias
+
+- **Original claim:** `main.rs:308-317` uses `% CHARSET.len()`.
+- **Current state in `generators.rs`:**
+  - Line 61: `let dist = Uniform::from(0..charset.len());`
+  - Line 63: `charset[dist.sample(&mut rng)]` — rejection sampling, no modulo
+- **Status:** ✅ **FIXED**
+
+### H7: rpassword 5.0.1 outdated
+
+- **Original claim:** Uses deprecated `prompt_password_stderr`.
+- **Current state:** `Cargo.toml` shows `rpassword = "7"`, uses `prompt_password`.
+- **Status:** ✅ **FIXED**
+
+### H8: Storage keeps apiToken/imageBase64 plaintext
+
+- **Original claim:** `chrome.storage.local` stores PAT and reference image unencrypted.
+- **Current state:** Still true — `popup-only.ts:139-141` stores `vaultConfig` and `imageBase64`.
+- **Mitigation:** Acknowledged as design constraint; spec documents that filesystem access to browser profile compromises both factors.
+- **Status:** ⚠️ **ACKNOWLEDGED** (not fixed, documented as acceptable tradeoff)
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The 2026-04-18 audit identified real vulnerabilities that existed at that time. **All CRITICAL and HIGH findings (C1-C4, H1-H7) have since been remediated** with the exact fixes recommended in the audit. The codebase underwent significant refactoring, making the original line number references obsolete.
+
+H8 remains as an acknowledged design constraint inherent to Chrome extension architecture.
+
+**The audit was accurate and the remediation was thorough.**

+
+**Verdict:** All 8 findings are verified as real vulnerabilities in the current codebase.
+
+---
+
+## Finding-by-Finding Verification
+
+### Finding 1 — Backup KDF missing NFC normalization
+
+- **File:** `crates/relicario-core/src/backup.rs`
+- **Claimed lines:** 303-312
+- **Verified:** ✅ `derive_backup_key` at lines 303-312 passes `passphrase` directly to `argon.hash_password_into()` without NFC normalization. Compare to `derive_master_key` in `crypto.rs:224-227` which explicitly normalizes.
+- **Impact confirmed:** Cross-platform restore failure for non-ASCII passphrases.
+
+### Finding 2 — Commit message injection via item titles
+
+- **File:** `crates/relicario-cli/src/main.rs`
+- **Claimed lines:** 565, 899-901, 1110, 1327
+- **Verified:** ✅
+  - Line 565: `format!("add: {} ({})", item.title, item.id.as_str())`
+  - Line 1110: `format!("edit: {} ({})", item.title, item.id.as_str())`
+  - Line 1327: `format!("trash: {} ({})", item.title, item.id.as_str())`
+- **Impact confirmed:** Newlines/control chars in titles corrupt git log output.
+
+### Finding 3 — WASM `generate_device_keypair` crosses private key to JS
+
+- **File:** `crates/relicario-wasm/src/lib.rs`
+- **Claimed lines:** 215-227
+- **Verified:** ✅ Function returns `{ "private_key_base64": "..." }` as `JsValue`, exposing ed25519 private key to JavaScript heap.
+- **Impact confirmed:** Key material accessible to any JS in service worker context.
+
+### Finding 4 — Test env vars ship in production binary
+
+- **File:** `crates/relicario-cli/src/main.rs`
+- **Claimed lines:** 445-446, 421-423, 1425-1426
+- **Verified:** ✅
+  - Lines 421-423: `RELICARIO_TEST_ITEM_SECRET`
+  - Lines 445-446: `RELICARIO_TEST_PASSPHRASE`
+  - Lines 1425-1426: `RELICARIO_TEST_BACKUP_PASSPHRASE`
+- **Impact confirmed:** All checked in production code without `#[cfg(test)]`. Passphrase visible in `/proc/<pid>/environ`.
+
+### Finding 5 — `AttachmentId` truncated to 64 bits
+
+- **File:** `crates/relicario-core/src/ids.rs`
+- **Claimed lines:** 52-57
+- **Actual lines:** 51-56 (off by 1)
+- **Verified:** ✅ `&digest[..8]` = 8 bytes = 64 bits. Birthday collision at ~2³² work.
+- **Impact confirmed:** Attacker with attachment upload can cause silent overwrites.
+
+### Finding 6 — `get_field_history` returns plaintext to JS
+
+- **File:** `crates/relicario-wasm/src/lib.rs`
+- **Claimed lines:** 232-265
+- **Verified:** ✅ Returns historical `Password`/`Concealed` values as plaintext JSON via `v.as_str().to_owned()`.
+- **Impact confirmed:** Password history exposed to JS heap without Zeroizing.
+
+### Finding 7 — Device key system is security theater
+
+- **File:** `crates/relicario-cli/src/main.rs`
+- **Claimed lines:** 2151-2221
+- **Verified:** ✅ `cmd_device()` handles Add/List/Revoke but:
+  - No `sign_commit` or `verify_signature` functions exist anywhere
+  - `devices.json` is plaintext and unauthenticated
+  - Revocation has no enforcement mechanism
+- **Impact confirmed:** Users falsely believe device revocation provides security.
+
+### Finding 8 — Path traversal on backup restore
+
+- **File:** `crates/relicario-cli/src/main.rs`
+- **Claimed lines:** 1619-1626
+- **Verified:** ✅
+  ```rust
+  for item in &unpacked.items {
+      fs::write(target.join("items").join(format!("{}.enc", item.id)), ...)?;
+  }
+  ```
+  `item.id` and `attachment_id` used directly in path construction with no validation.
+- **Impact confirmed:** Crafted `.relbak` with `id = "../../.bashrc"` escapes target directory.
+
+---
+
+## Blockers Assessment
+
+The audit's "Path to Certifiable Safety" section is accurate:
+
+| Blocker | Verified | Severity |
+|---------|----------|----------|
+| B1 - Device key theater | ✅ Real | High |
+| B2 - Backup KDF NFC | ✅ Real | Medium |
+| B3 - Test env vars | ✅ Real | Medium |
+| B4 - Path traversal | ✅ Real | Medium |
+
+All four blockers are confirmed. B1 is the most dangerous as it misleads users about their security posture.

+# Relicario Security Audit — 2026-05-01
+
+Scope: full project audit (not a PR diff). Covers crypto correctness, protocol gaps,
+implementation reality vs. plans, and a roadmap toward third-party auditability.
+
+---
+
+## Section 1 — Security Findings
+
+### Finding 1 — Backup KDF missing NFC normalization
+
+**`crates/relicario-core/src/backup.rs:303-312`** · Severity: **Medium**
+
+`derive_backup_key` passes raw passphrase bytes to Argon2id. The main vault KDF in
+`crypto.rs` uses `u64_be(len) || nfc_passphrase || u64_be(32) || image_secret`. The
+backup KDF has neither NFC normalization nor the length-prefix construction.
+
+**Exploit:** User creates a backup on macOS (NFD normalization) and restores on Linux
+(NFC). The Argon2id input differs → wrong key → unrestorable backup. Affects any
+non-ASCII passphrase (`"Crêpe-7"`, `"café"`, accented chars).
+
+**Fix:** Factor out `normalize_passphrase()` and use it in both `derive_master_key` and
+`derive_backup_key`.
+
+---
+
+### Finding 2 — Commit message injection via item titles
+
+**`crates/relicario-cli/src/main.rs:565, 899-901, 1110, 1327`** · Severity: **Medium**
+
+Item titles (arbitrary user UTF-8) are embedded directly into `-m` commit message strings
+via `format!("add: {} ({})", item.title, ...)`. `git_command` uses `Command::args()` (no
+shell), so shell injection into `git add` is blocked — but newlines in titles produce
+malformed multi-line commit messages that corrupt git log parsers.
+
+**Fix:** Strip control characters from titles before embedding in commit messages, or omit
+the title from the `-m` format entirely and use only the item ID.
+
+---
+
+### Finding 3 — WASM `generate_device_keypair` crosses private key bytes to JS
+
+**`crates/relicario-wasm/src/lib.rs:215-227`** · Severity: **Medium**
+
+Returns `{ "private_key_base64": "..." }` as a `JsValue`. The ed25519 private key lives in
+the JS heap with no `Zeroizing` protection. The vault master key is protected behind an
+opaque `SessionHandle` and never crosses to JS — the device key has no such protection.
+
+**Exploit:** Any JS running in the extension service worker context (compromised dependency,
+content script escalation) that can intercept the return value gets the raw device key.
+
+**Fix:** Never return the private key to JS. Expose only a `sign(handle, data) → signature`
+API; perform the signing in Rust.
+
+---
+
+### Finding 4 — Test env vars ship in production binary
+
+**`crates/relicario-cli/src/main.rs:445-446, 421-423, 1425-1426`** · Severity: **Medium**
+
+`RELICARIO_TEST_PASSPHRASE`, `RELICARIO_TEST_ITEM_SECRET`, `RELICARIO_TEST_BACKUP_PASSPHRASE`
+are checked in production code (not `#[cfg(test)]`). When set, they bypass the interactive
+TTY prompt.
+
+**Exploit:** On Linux, `/proc/<pid>/environ` exposes the passphrase in cleartext to
+same-UID processes. Shell history captures `RELICARIO_TEST_PASSPHRASE=mysecret relicario unlock ...`.
+
+**Fix:** Gate behind `#[cfg(test)]` or a `--features testing` build profile.
+
+---
+
+### Finding 5 — `AttachmentId` truncated to 64 bits of SHA-256
+
+**`crates/relicario-core/src/ids.rs:52-57`** · Severity: **Medium**
+
+`AttachmentId::from_plaintext` takes `&digest[..8]` (8 bytes = 64 bits). Standard
+content-addressed stores use ≥128 bits. With 64 bits, an attacker who can supply attachment
+content can find a second-preimage collision with ~2^32 work, causing a crafted attachment
+to silently overwrite an existing one on disk.
+
+**Fix:** Change `&digest[..8]` → `&digest[..16]` (128 bits). No migration needed for
+existing vaults since only new attachments are affected.
+
+---
+
+### Finding 6 — `get_field_history` re-parses item JSON from JS heap
+
+**`crates/relicario-wasm/src/lib.rs:232-265`** · Severity: **Medium**
+
+Returns all historical `Password`/`Concealed` values as plaintext `JsValue`. The values
+are regular `String` allocations with no `Zeroizing` wrapper before serialization into
+`serde_json::Value`.
+
+**Fix:** Architectural — document that the caller must treat the return value as sensitive.
+For strong hygiene: do all history display in Rust, never returning password history bytes
+to JS.
+
+---
+
+### Finding 7 — Device key system is non-functional as a security control
+
+**`crates/relicario-cli/src/main.rs:2151-2221`** · Severity: **High**
+
+`device add/list/revoke` and `generate_device_keypair` exist, but **no code anywhere signs
+git commits with device keys**, and **no code verifies device signatures**. `devices.json`
+is plaintext in the repo and unauthenticated by the vault.
+
+**Exploit:** Users believe "device revocation" prevents unauthorized access after a device
+is stolen/compromised. It does nothing. A stolen device continues to have full vault access
+via its git remote credentials regardless of revocation.
+
+**Fix:** Either (a) implement commit signing + server-side pre-receive hook verification, or
+(b) remove the `device` subcommands and document that access control is SSH-key-level only.
+
+---
+
+### Finding 8 — Path traversal on backup restore
+
+**`crates/relicario-cli/src/main.rs:1619-1626`** · Severity: **Medium**
+
+During restore, item/attachment IDs from the decrypted backup JSON are used directly as
+path components with no format validation. IDs are AEAD-authenticated but a user restoring
+from a crafted `.relbak` with a known passphrase would execute arbitrary path writes.
+
+**Exploit (social engineering):** Attacker provides a `.relbak` with item ID
+`../../.bashrc` → restore overwrites `~/.bashrc`.
+
+**Fix:**
+```rust
+ensure!(id.len() == 16 && id.chars().all(|c| c.is_ascii_hexdigit()),
+    "invalid id in backup");
+```

+## Section 3 — Path to Certifiable Safety
+
+### Blockers — must fix before any real use
+
+| # | Item |
+|---|---|
+| B1 | **Device key system is security theater** — implement signing or remove the commands. This is the most dangerous finding because it misleads users about their security posture. |
+| B2 | **Backup KDF NFC normalization** — one-line fix; data loss risk for non-ASCII passphrases. |
+| B3 | **Test env vars in production binary** — gate with `#[cfg(test)]`. Exposes passphrase via `/proc`. |
+| B4 | **Path traversal on restore** — two-line ID validation before any `fs::write`. |
+
+### Important — fix before third-party audit
+
+| # | Item |
+|---|---|
+| I1 | Sanitize item titles before embedding in commit messages |
+| I2 | `AttachmentId`: `&digest[..8]` → `&digest[..16]` (128-bit collision resistance) |
+| I3 | Enforce per-vault total attachment bytes cap (already defined, never checked) |
+| I4 | Document manifest integrity model: AEAD protects against silent modification, but item deletion is only detectable via git history |
+| I5 | Stop crossing device private key bytes to JS (prerequisite for B1 if signing is implemented) |
+| I6 | Fix HOTP counter: increment + re-save on each `totp get`, or disable HOTP and return an error |
+
+### Nice-to-have — audit-friendliness
+
+| # | Item |
+|---|---|
+| N1 | Wrap `nfc_passphrase: Vec<u8>` in `Zeroizing` in `derive_master_key` |
+| N2 | `cargo audit` in CI |
+| N3 | Validate Argon2id params on vault load — warn if below production minimums |
+| N4 | Broaden steganography recompression tests to use ImageMagick/libjpeg-turbo (not just the `image` crate) |
+| N5 | Consider machine-readable audit log encrypted alongside the vault |

+# Documentation Audit — 2026-05-02
+
+Pre-v0.5.0 audit of Relicario's documentation against the current codebase.
+
+## Summary
+
+- **Total findings:** 14
+- **Fixed inline (initial pass):** 6
+- **Fixed during v0.5.0 PM run (this audit, follow-up commits):** 8
+- **No action needed:** 0
+- **Top 3 recommendations:**
+  1. **Add `relicario-server` to architecture docs.** It exists in `crates/`, is referenced by SECURITY.md, and underpins device-auth, but `docs/architecture/overview.md`'s "three codebases" framing and `CLAUDE.md`'s project-structure tree still pretend it doesn't exist (Findings 1, 2, 9). This is the single biggest gap before tagging v0.5.0.
+  2. **Replace `CLAUDE.md`'s Roadmap.** It still says "Next: WASM build + Chrome MV3 browser extension (Plan 2)" — a milestone that shipped weeks ago. Multiple subsequent train rounds (typed items, attachments, backup, LastPass, device auth, fullscreen UX phases) have shipped, none of which are reflected (Finding 3).
+  3. **Rewrite the `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` "Crate Architecture" + "Vault Creation Flow" sections** so they describe the v0.5.0 surface (typed items, settings.enc, device auth boundary, server crate, extension WASM) rather than the v0.1.0 freeze (Finding 10).
+
+The codebase itself is well-documented — `crates/{relicario-core,relicario-cli}/ARCHITECTURE.md`, `extension/ARCHITECTURE.md`, and `docs/architecture/overview.md` are detailed and current. The drift is concentrated in **the top-level entry-point docs** (`README.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`) and in the SECURITY.md / overview.md edges.
+
+---
+
+## Findings
+
+### Finding 1 — `relicario-server` crate is invisible in cross-codebase docs
+
+**File:** `docs/architecture/overview.md` (lines 14–48 — "The three codebases" + table)
+**Issue:** The repo now has **four** Rust crates (`relicario-core`, `relicario-cli`, `relicario-wasm`, `relicario-server`) plus the extension. The framing "The three codebases" + accompanying ASCII diagram + four-row table all predate the May 2026 server crate. `relicario-server` is the pre-receive hook binary that enforces device-signature verification — load-bearing for the device-auth model that SECURITY.md already advertises.
+**Fix:** Re-title the section ("The four codebases" or "The relicario codebases"), add a server box to the diagram, add a row to the table. The role is "Pre-receive Git hook that verifies commit signatures against `.relicario/devices.json` and `.relicario/revoked.json`".
+**Severity:** must-fix-before-v0.5.0
+**Status:** Fixed in `ca059e7` (PM follow-up, 2026-05-02): "four codebases" framing, ASCII diagram fans core out to cli + server + wasm, table row added, build matrix gains `cargo build -p relicario-server`, "Where to look next" points at server src + design spec.
+
+---
+
+### Finding 2 — `CLAUDE.md` project-structure tree omits `relicario-server`
+
+**File:** `CLAUDE.md` (lines 26–54)
+**Issue:** The `crates/` tree only lists `relicario-core/`, `relicario-cli/`, `relicario-wasm/`. `relicario-server/` is missing. Since CLAUDE.md is the project-level summary every Claude session reads, this is the highest-leverage staleness.
+**Fix:** Add a fourth crate entry for `relicario-server/` with `src/main.rs # pre-receive hook: verify_commit + generate_hook`.
+**Severity:** must-fix-before-v0.5.0
+**Status:** Fixed in `8fd9a05` (PM follow-up, 2026-05-02 with user approval): added `relicario-server/` entry to project tree.
+
+---
+
+### Finding 3 — `CLAUDE.md` Roadmap is severely stale
+
+**File:** `CLAUDE.md` (lines 91–93)
+**Issue:** Says `Next: WASM build + Chrome MV3 browser extension (Plan 2). Then mobile (Rust core compiles to ARM).` Plan 2 (extension) shipped, then Plans 1A-1C, 3A (backup), 3B (LastPass), Plan 4 (security fixes + device auth), and Phases 1-2B of the fullscreen UX redesign all shipped. The current "next thing" per project memory is v0.5.0 polish + harden plus Phase 3/4 of fullscreen UX.
+**Fix:** Replace with a current-state Roadmap line (e.g. `Next: v0.5.0 polish + harden, then Phase 3 (vault tab shell). Mobile (ARM) and recovery QR remain on the roadmap.`).
+**Severity:** must-fix-before-v0.5.0
+**Status:** Fixed in `8fd9a05` (PM follow-up, 2026-05-02 with user approval): replaced with the v0.5.0 / Phases 3-4 / 1C-γ / LastPass / mobile / recovery-QR picture.
+
+---
+
+### Finding 4 — `CLAUDE.md` says "Item IDs are random 8-char hex"
+
+**File:** `CLAUDE.md` (line 79)
+**Issue:** Audit M8 bumped `ItemId`/`FieldId` to 16-char hex (64 bits). Verified against `crates/relicario-core/src/ids.rs:3-4, 35-37` and `tests/integration` — they're 16 hex chars. The same line also doesn't mention that `AttachmentId` was bumped to 32 hex chars / 128 bits (audit I2/B4).
+**Fix:** Change to: `Item IDs and Field IDs are random 16-char hex strings (64 bits of OsRng entropy). AttachmentIds are content-addressed: first 32 hex chars of SHA-256(plaintext) (128 bits, audit I2/B4).`
+**Severity:** must-fix-before-v0.5.0
+**Status:** Fixed in `8fd9a05` (PM follow-up, 2026-05-02 with user approval): now reads "Item IDs and Field IDs are random 16-char hex strings (64 bits of OsRng entropy). AttachmentIds are content-addressed: first 32 hex chars of SHA-256 over the plaintext (128 bits)."
+
+---
+
+### Finding 5 — `docs/architecture/overview.md` conventions table also says "8-char hex"
+
+**File:** `docs/architecture/overview.md` (line 180)
+**Issue:** Same M8 bump; the conventions table at line 180 said `Item IDs are random 8-char hex`.
+**Fix:** Update to 16-char hex / 64 bits, and bump the AttachmentId row to mention the 128-bit width.
+**Severity:** must-fix-before-v0.5.0
+**Status:** Fixed inline in `docs/architecture/overview.md`
+
+---
+
+### Finding 6 — `README.md` uses obsolete `entries/` directory layout
+
+**File:** `README.md` (lines 36, 117–118, 147–149)
+**Issue:** References to `entries/*.enc` and the `entry.rs` module are pre-typed-items vocabulary. The on-disk layout is now `items/<id>.enc` + `attachments/<item-id>/<aid>.enc` + `settings.enc`; the core module is `item.rs` + `item_types/`. The README is the security proof and the first thing visitors read — getting the on-disk shape wrong hurts the legibility-as-security pitch.
+**Fix:** Replace `entries/` with `items/`. Add `settings.enc`, `attachments/<item-id>/<aid>.enc`, and (for device-auth) `revoked.json`. Rewrite the `crates/` tree to match the actual seven-module shape and add `relicario-wasm` and `relicario-server`. Update item-ID width to 16-char hex.
+**Severity:** must-fix-before-v0.5.0
+**Status:** Fixed inline in `README.md`
+
+---
+
+### Finding 7 — `README.md` Roadmap lists shipped features as upcoming
+
+**File:** `README.md` (lines 184–192)
+**Issue:** All of these are checked off in real life but unchecked in the doc: WASM/Chrome extension, secure notes, secure document storage, LastPass import, Firefox extension. Only Bitwarden/1Password import, the unlock daemon, mobile, and Safari are still unstarted.
+**Fix:** Mark the shipped items as `[x]`; add Firefox WebExtension, typed items, backup/restore, LastPass CSV import, and device authentication as completed; keep Bitwarden/1Password import, unlock daemon, mobile, Safari as open.
+**Severity:** must-fix-before-v0.5.0
+**Status:** Fixed inline in `README.md`
+
+---
+
+### Finding 8 — `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` ASCII vault layout uses `entries/` and lacks settings/attachments/revoked
+
+**File:** `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` (lines 45–53)
+**Issue:** Same staleness as README Finding 6. The "GIT SERVER (untrusted)" box shows only `manifest.enc` + `entries/<id>.enc` + `.relicario/{salt,params.json,devices.json}`. Missing: `settings.enc`, `attachments/<item-id>/<aid>.enc`, `revoked.json`. ID lengths are 8-char hex (`a1b2c3d4`) instead of 16-char hex.
+**Fix:** Update box to current layout including settings.enc, attachments tree, revoked.json, and 16-char IDs.
+**Severity:** must-fix-before-v0.5.0
+**Status:** Fixed inline in `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`
+
+---
+
+### Finding 9 — `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` "Crate Architecture" omits wasm + server crates
+
+**File:** `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` (lines 208–235)
+**Issue:** The bottom box of the "Crate Architecture" diagram says `Future: relicario-wasm wraps this for browser extension` and `Future: JNI/Swift wrappers for Android/iOS`. WASM is no longer future — it shipped. The `relicario-server` crate isn't mentioned at all. The `relicario-core` module list inside the box still says `entry / Manifest / search`, predating the typed-items rewrite (`item`, `item_types/`, `settings`, `attachment`, `backup`, `device`).
+**Fix:** Replace the inner-box module names with the current set; remove the "Future: relicario-wasm" line and add a "Consumed by" line listing all three downstream crates including server.
+**Severity:** must-fix-before-v0.5.0
+**Status:** Fixed inline in `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`
+
+---
+
+### Finding 10 — `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` "Vault Creation Flow" doesn't reflect typed-items or settings.enc
+
+**File:** `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` (lines 60–89)
+**Issue:** The vault-creation pipeline in this doc shows `master_key → XChaCha20-Poly1305 → manifest.enc` only. In reality `cmd_init` also encrypts and writes `settings.enc` (default `VaultSettings`). Field-history-tracked items, attachments, the `Item` envelope shape — none of these are in the flow doc. Without context on typed items, a new contributor reading this doc would have a v0.1-era model of the system.
+**Fix:** Add a settings.enc step to the flow; either expand the items section or note that the full item lifecycle is in `crates/relicario-core/ARCHITECTURE.md`.
+**Severity:** nice-to-have (the per-codebase ARCHITECTURE.md files are the source of truth; this top-level doc could just point at them)
+**Status:** Fixed in `76d092d` (PM follow-up, 2026-05-02): trim path. Added settings.enc as a parallel artifact in the encrypt step, then a short paragraph pointing at `crates/relicario-core/ARCHITECTURE.md` for the per-item lifecycle.
+
+---
+
+### Finding 11 — `docs/SECURITY.md` "Device registration was optional before v0.4.0" is undated/misleading
+
+**File:** `docs/SECURITY.md` (lines 60–62)
+**Issue:** Says `Device registration was optional before v0.4.0. With device auth enabled, all commits must be signed by a registered device.` But (a) v0.4.0 hasn't been tagged yet — the changelog goes v0.1.0 → v0.2.0 → "Unreleased", and the next tag-in-flight per project memory is v0.5.0; (b) per the v0.5.0 polish + harden spec, device-auth enforcement is **currently a no-op** because the pre-receive hook fix (S1) hasn't landed. Saying "all commits MUST be signed" is aspirational, not current.
+**Fix:** Reword to clarify (a) the actual version line (e.g. "Pre-v0.5.0 vaults can opt out by leaving `devices.json` empty"), AND (b) acknowledge that signature *enforcement* depends on the pre-receive hook being deployed and the S1 fix landing. Could just be a one-line caveat.
+**Severity:** must-fix-before-v0.5.0 (security-doc accuracy is part of the legibility pitch)
+**Status:** Fixed in `1342228` (PM follow-up, 2026-05-02 with user approval): dropped the "before v0.4.0" version line entirely (v0.4.0 was never tagged); replaced with a single line saying registration is optional but recommended for shared vaults. Enforcement story now lives in the Device Authentication section (see F12).
+
+---
+
+### Finding 12 — `docs/SECURITY.md` doesn't mention `relicario-server`
+
+**File:** `docs/SECURITY.md` (lines 44–51)
+**Issue:** The "Device Authentication" section refers to a "pre-receive hook" but never says it lives in `crates/relicario-server`, what binary the hook calls (`relicario-server verify-commit <sha>`), or how to install it (`relicario-server generate-hook`). For a self-hosted user reading this to decide whether to enable it, those are the two essential operational facts.
+**Fix:** Add a short paragraph naming the crate and the two subcommands, pointing to the design spec.
+**Severity:** nice-to-have
+**Status:** Fixed in `1342228` (PM follow-up, 2026-05-02): added paragraph naming the `relicario-server` crate, both subcommands (`generate-hook`, `verify-commit`), and the caveat that signed commits without the server hook provide authorship metadata only.
+
+---
+
+### Finding 13 — Foundational design spec's "Post-V1 Ideas" lists shipped features
+
+**File:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-11-relicario-design.md` (lines 351–361)
+**Issue:** This doc is explicitly historical (per `docs/architecture/overview.md` "Stale spec docs" disclaimer), so editing it as architecture would violate convention. Still worth flagging that "Post-V1 Ideas" lists secure notes, secure documents, mobile, LastPass import, Firefox extension, TOTP — most of which have shipped. Per project policy this is *informational only*; the spec is a time-stamped decision artifact.
+**Fix:** None — leave alone. If desired, prepend a one-line "Status: V1 shipped 2026-04-22; many Post-V1 ideas have since landed — see CHANGELOG.md" at the top of the file.
+**Severity:** informational
+**Status:** Fixed in `9c97f9f` (PM follow-up, 2026-05-02): added the optional one-line status banner at the top of the spec pointing at CHANGELOG.md and overview.md for current state. Body of the spec untouched per the "specs are frozen decision artifacts" convention.
+
+---
+
+### Finding 14 — Lowercase "relicario" in prose contexts
+
+**File:** `README.md` (line 67), `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` (none found in prose), `docs/architecture/overview.md` (none found in prose), `docs/SECURITY.md` (none found in prose)
+**Issue:** Per CLAUDE.md, "Relicario" should be capitalized in prose. A search across the audit-scope docs finds no uppercase-violations — most prose lowercase usages are in code paths (`.relicario/`, `relicario init`, `relicario-core`) which are correctly lowercase per the rule. The README at line 67 ("Relicario generates unique passwords per site") is correctly capitalized; line 26 ("Relicario embeds a random 256-bit secret") is correct. **No lowercase prose occurrences found.** This finding is "checked, no action needed."
+**Fix:** N/A
+**Severity:** informational
+**Status:** No action needed (recorded for completeness)
+
+---
+
+## Inline-fix verification
+
+### Initial pass (commit `900ccf1`):
+
+- `README.md` — vault layout (`items/`, `settings.enc`, `attachments/`), crate tree (added `relicario-wasm`, `relicario-server`, typed-items modules), ID width, Roadmap.
+- `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` — git-server box (`items/`, `settings.enc`, `attachments/`, `revoked.json`), crate-architecture inner box (current core modules), removed "Future: relicario-wasm" line.
+- `docs/architecture/overview.md` — conventions table (16-char hex IDs, 128-bit AttachmentIds).
+
+### v0.5.0 PM follow-up pass (commits `ca059e7`, `8fd9a05`, `1342228`, `76d092d`, `9c97f9f`):
+
+- `docs/architecture/overview.md` — F1: four-codebases framing, ASCII diagram fans out to server, table row, build matrix, "Where to look next".
+- `CLAUDE.md` — F2: project tree gains `relicario-server`. F3: Roadmap line replaced. F4: Item/Field/Attachment ID widths and entropy noted.
+- `docs/SECURITY.md` — F11: dropped `before v0.4.0` line. F12: Device Authentication section now names the `relicario-server` crate and its subcommands, with the "without the hook, commits are advisory" caveat.
+- `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` — F10: settings.enc shown alongside manifest.enc in the Vault Creation Flow; pointer added to per-crate ARCHITECTURE.md for typed-items detail.
+- `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-11-relicario-design.md` — F13: optional one-line "historical spec" status banner at top.
+
+No source files, `Cargo.lock`, or extension code were modified at any point.

+# Dev A Kickoff Prompt — arch-followup Plan A
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are a **senior developer** owning Plan A for the arch-followup "architecture-review followups" release train.
+
+Plan A is the **security & docs polish PR** — the small one that ships first, in under a day, with no dependencies on Plans B or C. It closes the only defense-in-depth crypto gap the architecture review flagged (`SessionHandle` has no `impl Drop`, so wasm-bindgen's `.free()` is a cleanup no-op while the master key sits in WASM linear memory), removes the JS-side error swallow that was masking that fact, brings `recovery_qr.rs` documentation up to the density of `crypto.rs` / `imgsecret.rs` / `backup.rs` / `tar_safe.rs`, and finishes the relay-launcher dev-c expansion. Four phases, all S-effort.
+
+A PM in another terminal coordinates you with Dev-B (CLI restructure) and Dev-C (extension restructure). With the relay server running, you communicate via `post_message` / `read_messages` directly — no user copy-paste needed. If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session, use the Python shim fallback (see **Relay server** section below).
+
+## Setup (do this first)
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario
+git fetch
+git checkout main
+git pull
+git worktree add ../relicario-plan-a -b feature/2026-05-04-a-security-polish
+cd ../relicario-plan-a
+pwd  # should print /home/alee/Sources/relicario-plan-a (or similar absolute path)
+```
+
+**ALL subsequent work happens in `/home/alee/Sources/relicario-plan-a`**. Force-cd subagents into this directory — the project's `CLAUDE.md` memory rule explicitly requires that subagent prompts MUST start with `cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario-plan-a` so subagents don't accidentally commit to main. This is non-negotiable.
+
+Today: 2026-05-04. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply.
+
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; your `from` is always `"dev-a"`
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="dev-a"` before each task
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm, dev-a, dev-b, dev-c`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. Before starting each task: `read_messages(for="dev-a")`. After emitting any status/question block: `post_message(from="dev-a", to="pm", kind="status"|"question", body="...")`.
+
+**Fallback:** If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session, use the Python shim:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario/tools/relay
+python3 call.py post_message '{"from":"dev-a","to":"pm","kind":"status","body":"..."}'
+python3 call.py read_messages '{"for":"dev-a"}'
+```
+
+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules
+2. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md` — synthesis (your scope is **P1.1, P1.7, P1.8 + the partner JS-side fix at `service-worker/session.ts:26` + the `start.sh` launcher follow-up only**)
+3. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-security-polish-design.md` — your plan, execute phase by phase
+
+You do NOT need to read Plan B or Plan C in detail. Skim Plan B's "WASM/extension parity seam" paragraph (Phase 8) and Plan C's "Risks → `.free()` callsite policy" paragraph only if a coordination question arises — they're the points where Plans B/C reference your work.
+
+## Execution mode
+
+Use **subagent-driven-development** (per project memory's default for any multi-task plan). Invoke `superpowers:subagent-driven-development` and follow it: fresh subagent per phase, two-stage review between phases.
+
+**Every subagent prompt MUST start with**:
+```
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario-plan-a
+```
+…before any other instruction. This is non-negotiable per project memory.
+
+## Your scope and boundaries
+
+**In scope:** Phase 1 (Rust `impl Drop for SessionHandle` + wasm-bindgen-test + native fallback test), Phase 2 (JS `.free()` audit + remove the `try { current.free() }` swallow at `extension/src/service-worker/session.ts:26`), Phase 3 (`recovery_qr.rs` documentation pass — module-level `//!`, ASCII layout diagram, doc-comments on the four public items, `production_params` rationale or `const`), Phase 4 (`tools/relay/start.sh` dev-c expansion + verification that `queue.test.ts:54` is already fixed).
+
+**Out of scope:** anything in Plan B (CLI restructure — `cli/main.rs` split, `git_run` helper, parser migration to core, etc.) or Plan C (extension restructure — `setup.ts` SW migration, `vault.ts` split, `StateHost` typing, SW router dedup). The other P2 WASM cleanups (double-lookup, Vec<u8> clone, naming inconsistency, concurrency primitive split). DEV-C's other relay P2s (queue TTL, `call.py`/`call.ts` tracking decision). The 8 "Open architectural decisions". If you trip over an out-of-scope issue or a new bug while doing your work, file it via a `## QUESTION TO PM` block and keep moving.
+
+**Hard rules:**
+- This is a defense-in-depth crypto fix. Do NOT skip Phase 1's `wasm-bindgen-test` AND the native `#[test]` fallback — both are required by the plan's Done criteria.
+- Do NOT remove the `try { current.free() }` swallow (Phase 2) until Phase 1's `impl Drop` has landed in the same branch — Phase 2 explicitly depends on Phase 1.
+- Phase 3 must produce documentation density that visibly matches `crypto.rs` / `imgsecret.rs` / `backup.rs` / `tar_safe.rs`. If your doc-block is shorter than `crypto.rs`'s top comment, it's not done.
+- Phase 4: confirm `queue.test.ts:54` is already fixed in commit `061facd` (read the file; assert the line is `assert.ok(isRole("dev-c"));`). If it isn't, escalate via `## QUESTION TO PM` — the plan was drafted assuming it was fixed.
+- The plan's Done criteria includes recording the `grep -rn "\.free\b" extension/src/` output in the PR description as the audit deliverable. Do NOT merge the PR without that grep recorded.
+- Do not merge your branch to main. The PM owns merges.
+- Do not push `--force` or run `git reset --hard`. Per `CLAUDE.md`: ask first.
+
+## Coordination protocol
+
+You are one of multiple terminals. The relay routes messages between them.
+
+**At every phase boundary** (complete, blocked, or question): call `read_messages(for="dev-a")` first, then post your update via `post_message(from="dev-a", to="pm", kind="status"|"question", body="...")` and also print it here. Use this format:
+

+- Make implementation decisions consistent with the plan and synthesis
+- Choose between the plan's optional micro-cleanups in Phase 3 (the named-constant slice ranges, the `recovery_kdf_input` length-prefix comment) — proceed if they make the code clearer
+- Decide whether to add `wasm.lock(handle)` before `.free()` in `clearCurrent()` (Phase 2 leaves this to your judgment; the plan recommends just `free()` post-Phase-1)
+- Write tests, refactor your own code, fix bugs you introduce
+- Push commits to your feature branch
+
+You **do** escalate to PM when:
+- You discover the Rust toolchain is older than 1.79 (Phase 3 falls back to a runtime `#[test]` for the layout assertion — confirm with PM before switching)
+- You discover the `.free()` audit grep returns more than one match (the plan was drafted expecting one; investigate and report)
+- You discover `queue.test.ts:54` is NOT actually fixed (Phase 4 falls back to a real code change)
+- You discover the `start.sh` launcher requires deeper changes than the four locations the plan describes
+- A test you can't make green after honest debugging (don't fudge — debug)
+- A discovered bug not in your plan
+- Anything destructive (per project rules)

+
+## Final steps before REVIEW-READY

+Run the project's full validation:
+
+```bash
+# From the worktree root (/home/alee/Sources/relicario-plan-a):
+cargo test -p relicario-core
+cargo test -p relicario-wasm
+cd extension && npm test && cd ..
+
+# Audit deliverable (record output in PR description):
+grep -rn "\.free\b" extension/src/
+
+# Optional but recommended for the wasm-bindgen-test (requires wasm-pack):
+# wasm-pack test --node crates/relicario-wasm
+
+# Manual launcher checks (Phase 4):
+bash tools/relay/start.sh --manual    # confirm "Open 4 new terminals" + Dev-C prompt path
+# bash tools/relay/start.sh --kitty   # if on a kitty terminal: confirm 4 tabs open
+```
+
+Then push and open the PR:
+
+```bash
+git push -u origin feature/2026-05-04-a-security-polish
+gh pr create --base main --head feature/2026-05-04-a-security-polish --title "docs+fix(arch-followup): Drop impl + recovery_qr docs + relay launcher (Plan A)" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
+## Summary
+
+Architecture-review followup Plan A (security & docs polish). Source: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-security-polish-design.md`.
+
+- **P1.1** — `SessionHandle` now has `impl Drop` so wasm-bindgen's `.free()` actually clears the master key from WASM linear memory. Native + wasm-bindgen tests cover construct → drop → registry-empty.
+- **JS partner fix** — removed the `try { current.free() }` swallow at `extension/src/service-worker/session.ts:26`. Crypto-state-transition errors now propagate.
+- **P1.7** — `crates/relicario-core/src/recovery_qr.rs` documentation pass: module-level `//!`, ASCII layout diagram, doc-comments on the four public items, `production_params` parameter-pinning rationale.
+- **P1.8** — confirmed `tools/relay/queue.test.ts:54` already matches the new role union (committed in `061facd`); `tools/relay/start.sh` extended to discover and launch a fourth Dev-C window in `--manual`, `--tmux`, `--kitty` modes.
+
+## Audit deliverables
+
+`.free()` callsites under `extension/src/` (recorded for future regression baseline):
+
+```
+<paste the grep output here>
+```
+
+## Test plan
+
+- [ ] `cargo test -p relicario-core` passes (recovery_qr tests still green; layout static assertion compiles)
+- [ ] `cargo test -p relicario-wasm` passes including new `Drop` test
+- [ ] `cd extension && npm test` passes including new `clearCurrent()` test
+- [ ] `grep -rn "\.free\b" extension/src/` returns exactly one match (the SW callsite)

+# Dev B Kickoff Prompt — arch-followup Plan B
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are a **senior developer** owning Plan B for the arch-followup "architecture-review followups" release train.
+
+Plan B is the **CLI restructure** — the "single biggest readability lift" per the synthesis. M-L effort, multi-day. It splits `crates/relicario-cli/src/main.rs` (2641 LOC) into a `commands/` folder + `prompt.rs` + `parse.rs`, then layers on the duplicated git-error UX consolidation, manifest-after-mutation cache discipline, `ParamsFile` dedup, batched purge, and the migration of pure parsers (and a third copy of base32) into `relicario-core` with WASM re-exports. Eight phases.
+
+A PM in another terminal coordinates you with Dev-A (security & docs polish) and Dev-C (extension restructure). With the relay server running, you communicate via `post_message` / `read_messages` directly — no user copy-paste needed. If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session, use the Python shim fallback (see **Relay server** section below).
+
+## Setup (do this first)
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario
+git fetch
+git checkout main
+git pull
+git worktree add ../relicario-plan-b -b feature/2026-05-04-b-cli-restructure
+cd ../relicario-plan-b
+pwd  # should print /home/alee/Sources/relicario-plan-b (or similar absolute path)
+```
+
+**ALL subsequent work happens in `/home/alee/Sources/relicario-plan-b`**. Force-cd subagents into this directory — the project's `CLAUDE.md` memory rule explicitly requires that subagent prompts MUST start with `cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario-plan-b` so subagents don't accidentally commit to main. This is non-negotiable.
+
+Today: 2026-05-04. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply.
+
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; your `from` is always `"dev-b"`
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="dev-b"` before each task
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm, dev-a, dev-b, dev-c`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. Before starting each task: `read_messages(for="dev-b")`. After emitting any status/question block: `post_message(from="dev-b", to="pm", kind="status"|"question", body="...")`.
+
+**Fallback:** If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session, use the Python shim:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario/tools/relay
+python3 call.py post_message '{"from":"dev-b","to":"pm","kind":"status","body":"..."}'
+python3 call.py read_messages '{"for":"dev-b"}'
+```
+
+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules (Spanish flourish in chat replies only, capitalization, autonomy defaults, CLI/extension parity philosophy)
+2. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md` — synthesis (your scope is **P1.2, P1.3, P1.10 + the in-scope CLI P2s only**)
+3. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md` — your plan, execute phase by phase
+4. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-b-notes.md` — DEV-B's full notes (your primary source for line-level context — the synthesis abbreviates)
+5. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-c-notes.md` — read **only** the "Boundary notes for DEV-B" section near the end (cross-boundary contracts you must respect when designing the WASM exports for Phase 8)
+
+You do NOT need to read Plan A or Plan C in detail. If a coordination question arises, skim Plan C's "Risks → WASM boundary coordination" paragraph (it cites your Phase 8 explicitly).
+
+## Execution mode
+
+Use **subagent-driven-development** (per project memory's default for any multi-task plan). Invoke `superpowers:subagent-driven-development` and follow it: fresh subagent per phase, two-stage review between phases.
+
+**Every subagent prompt MUST start with**:
+```
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario-plan-b
+```
+…before any other instruction. This is non-negotiable per project memory.
+
+**Sequencing matters.** Phase 1 (the mechanical `main.rs` split) is the precondition for every other phase — phases 2-6 touch files that don't exist yet until phase 1 lands. Do NOT start phase 2 until phase 1's `cargo test --workspace` is green and a checkpoint commit is in place.
+
+## Your scope and boundaries
+
+**In scope:**
+- Phase 1 — Mechanical split of `main.rs` into `commands/{add,get,list,edit,trash,backup,import,attach,settings,sync,status,device,recovery_qr,init,generate,rate}.rs` + `prompt.rs` + `parse.rs`
+- Phase 2 — `helpers::git_run` + sweep of the 16 `bail!("git X failed")` sites
+- Phase 3 — `prompt_or_flag<T>` and `build_*_item` compression
+- Phase 4 — `Vault::after_manifest_change` + sweep of the 7 `refresh_groups_cache` sites
+- Phase 5 — Single canonical `ParamsFile` (one definition shared between init writer and unlock reader)
+- Phase 6 — Batched purge in `cmd_purge` and `cmd_trash_empty` (3 git invocations for an N-item purge instead of 3N)
+- Phase 7 — Migrate `parse_month_year` / `base32_decode_lenient` / `guess_mime` to `relicario-core` + `pub(crate) mod base32` (closes DEV-A's three-base32-impls finding)
+- Phase 8 — WASM exports for the migrated parsers + `extension/src/wasm.d.ts` mirror
+
+**Out of scope:** anything in Plan A (security/docs polish — Drop impl, recovery_qr docs, relay launcher) or Plan C (extension restructure — setup.ts SW migration, vault.ts split, StateHost typing, SW router dedup). The CLI P3 nits (let _ = entry pattern, Lock subcommand visibility, Display for ItemType, helpers::relicario_dir adoption sweep, gitea Client per-call construction, edit_and_history.rs scripted prompts, dead test variable, three-test-env-var macro, cmd_recovery_qr_unwrap empty input check, Task 12 cleanup). Server findings (P2/P3 in DEV-B's relicario-server section). WASM findings beyond the parser exports needed for P1.10 (DEV-B's WASM P2 list — double-lookup, Vec<u8> clone, naming, concurrency primitive split). The 8 "Open architectural decisions". The WASM JS-naming snake_case → camelCase decision (deferred to a separate plan). If you trip over an out-of-scope issue or a new bug, file it via a `## QUESTION TO PM` block and keep moving.
+
+**Hard rules:**
+- Phase 1 is **mechanical** — no logic changes, no signature changes, no error-message reword. Run `cargo check -p relicario-cli` between every file extraction; existing CLI integration tests at `crates/relicario-cli/tests/*` must stay green throughout. They are the regression budget.
+- Phase 2's `git_run` switches from `.status()` (inherited stderr to TTY) to `.output()` (captured); the captured stderr MUST be printed to the user's stderr unmodified on failure. Do not silently swallow.
+- Phase 5's `ParamsFile` migration is on-disk-format-sensitive. Field names and types MUST match the existing `params.json` shape exactly; the round-trip test against a fixture string is required by the plan's Done criteria.
+- Phase 7 — `MonthYear::new` currently returns `Result<_, &'static str>` (DEV-A's P3 nit). The plan recommends re-wrapping the error in `MonthYear::parse` rather than migrating `new` to `RelicarioError`. If you'd rather migrate `new` for consistency, escalate to PM first — this is a cross-plan coordination concern.
+- Phase 8 keeps **snake_case** JS names (consistent with every existing export). Do not introduce camelCase for the three new exports. The snake_case → camelCase decision is deferred to a separate plan.
+- Phase 8 updates `extension/src/wasm.d.ts` and the new `#[wasm_bindgen]` exports in the same commit. Per DEV-C's boundary note, `wasm.d.ts` is hand-maintained — do not let the two surfaces drift even temporarily.
+- The Steam alphabet at `crates/relicario-core/src/item_types/totp.rs:13` is **intentionally non-RFC-4648** and must NOT move into the new `pub(crate) mod base32`. Add a neighbour comment per the plan.
+- Do not merge your branch to main. The PM owns merges.
+- Do not push `--force` or run `git reset --hard`. Per `CLAUDE.md`: ask first.
+
+## Coordination protocol
+
+You are one of multiple terminals. The relay routes messages between them.
+
+**At every phase boundary** (complete, blocked, or question): call `read_messages(for="dev-b")` first, then post your update via `post_message(from="dev-b", to="pm", kind="status"|"question", body="...")` and also print it here. Use this format:
+
+```
+## STATUS UPDATE — DEV-B
+Time: <iso8601 like 2026-05-04T14:30:00-07:00>
+Branch: feature/2026-05-04-b-cli-restructure

+Last commit: <short sha + first line of message>
+Tests: <green | red (which failed) | N/A>
+Notes: <anything PM needs to know — keep to 3 sentences max>
+```
+
+**When you need PM input mid-task**: post via `post_message(kind="question")` with format:
+
+```
+## QUESTION TO PM — DEV-B
+Time: <iso8601>
+Context: <what phase, what decision point>
+Options: <A: ... / B: ... / C: ...>
+Recommended: <your pick + one-sentence rationale>
+Blocker: yes | no  (does work stop without an answer?)
+```
+
+**You'll receive**: `## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-B` blocks from the PM via relay (or relayed by user if relay is down). Acknowledge and act.
+
+## Cross-plan coordination
+
+- **Plan C consumes your Phase 8 WASM exports** (`parse_month_year` / `base32_decode_lenient` / `guess_mime`) — but only as a deferred follow-up, NOT in Plan C's current execution. You ship the seam; Plan C does not wire the SW handlers in this train. Sequence Phase 8 to land before Plan C touches `wasm.d.ts` if both must touch it.
+- **`extension/src/wasm.d.ts` shared touchpoint with Plan C.** Plan C says it likely does NOT need to touch this file (its `create_vault`/`attach_vault` handlers reuse already-declared WASM entries). If Plan C does end up touching it, sequence Plan B's edits first and ask Plan C to rebase.
+- **Plan A's `impl Drop for SessionHandle`** is independent of you. Your `git_run` and parser-migration work doesn't touch the WASM crate's session module. No conflict.
+
+## Authority within the plan
+
+You don't need PM permission to:
+- Execute phase-to-phase per the plan
+- Make implementation decisions consistent with the plan and synthesis
+- Add new tests, refactor your own code, fix bugs you introduce
+- Choose between optional approaches the plan calls out (e.g. whether `Vault::after_manifest_change` calls `save_manifest` internally vs renaming the existing method to `save_manifest_raw`)
+- Push commits to your feature branch
+
+You **do** escalate to PM when:
+- You discover the grep at the top of Phase 7 returns non-CLI consumers of `parse_month_year` / `base32_decode_lenient` / `guess_mime` / `base32_encode` / `decode_base32_totp` (the plan was drafted assuming zero non-CLI consumers; investigate)
+- A `cargo test --workspace` failure you can't reproduce locally
+- You want to deviate on the `MonthYear::new` consistency point (see Hard Rules)
+- You discover the `ParamsFile` round-trip is not field-compatible with the current on-disk format (rename, type change, etc.)
+- A test you can't make green after honest debugging (don't fudge — debug)
+- A discovered bug not in your plan
+- Anything destructive (per project rules)
+- Before opening the PR for review
+
+## Final steps before REVIEW-READY

+- **P1.3** — `helpers::git_run(repo, args, context)` captures stderr; 16 duplicated bail sites collapsed.
+- **P1.10** — `parse_month_year` / `base32_decode_lenient` / `guess_mime` migrated to `relicario-core` (`MonthYear::parse`, `pub(crate) mod base32::{encode_rfc4648,decode_rfc4648_lenient}`, `mime::guess_for_extension`); also closes DEV-A's three-base32-impls finding by extracting the shared module. WASM exports added; `extension/src/wasm.d.ts` mirrored.
+- **CLI P2 cluster** — `prompt_or_flag<T>` compression of `build_*_item`; `Vault::after_manifest_change` centralizes the `refresh_groups_cache` discipline (7 sites collapsed); single canonical `ParamsFile` shared between init writer and unlock reader; batched purge — a 50-item `trash empty` is now 3 git invocations instead of 150.

+# Dev C Kickoff Prompt — arch-followup Plan C
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are a **senior developer** owning Plan C for the arch-followup "architecture-review followups" release train.
+
+Plan C is the **extension restructure** — the largest of the three (multi-day to multi-week). It eliminates the two steepest learning cliffs in the extension. After this plan ships, `setup.ts` no longer imports `relicario-wasm` directly (it isn't the pattern; it was the exception); `vault.ts` shrinks from 1027 LOC to ~200 of routing + state; `shared/state.ts` becomes type-checked end-to-end; the duplicated SW router helpers consolidate into one home each; and the extension closes its last CLI-parity gap (`relicario status` → vault-sidebar status indicator). Six phases.
+
+A PM in another terminal coordinates you with Dev-A (security & docs polish) and Dev-B (CLI restructure). With the relay server running, you communicate via `post_message` / `read_messages` directly — no user copy-paste needed. If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session, use the Python shim fallback (see **Relay server** section below).
+
+## Setup (do this first)
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario
+git fetch
+git checkout main
+git pull
+git worktree add ../relicario-plan-c -b feature/2026-05-04-c-extension-restructure
+cd ../relicario-plan-c
+pwd  # should print /home/alee/Sources/relicario-plan-c (or similar absolute path)
+```
+
+**ALL subsequent work happens in `/home/alee/Sources/relicario-plan-c`**. Force-cd subagents into this directory — the project's `CLAUDE.md` memory rule explicitly requires that subagent prompts MUST start with `cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario-plan-c` so subagents don't accidentally commit to main. This is non-negotiable.
+
+Today: 2026-05-04. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply.
+
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; your `from` is always `"dev-c"`
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="dev-c"` before each task
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm, dev-a, dev-b, dev-c`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. Before starting each task: `read_messages(for="dev-c")`. After emitting any status/question block: `post_message(from="dev-c", to="pm", kind="status"|"question", body="...")`.
+
+**Fallback:** If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session, use the Python shim:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario/tools/relay
+python3 call.py post_message '{"from":"dev-c","to":"pm","kind":"status","body":"..."}'
+python3 call.py read_messages '{"for":"dev-c"}'
+```
+
+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules (Spanish flourish in chat replies only, capitalization, autonomy defaults, CLI/extension parity philosophy, security defense-in-depth)
+2. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md` — synthesis (your scope is **P1.4, P1.5, P1.6, P1.9 + the in-scope extension P2s + the `relicario status` parity gap only**)
+3. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-extension-restructure-design.md` — your plan, execute phase by phase
+4. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-c-notes.md` — DEV-C's full notes (your primary source — the synthesis abbreviates)
+5. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-b-notes.md` — read **only** the "Boundary notes for DEV-C" section near the end (14 numbered contracts the JS side must respect when interacting with WASM; several inform your scope)
+
+You do NOT need to read Plan A or Plan B in detail. Skim Plan A's Phase 2 (the `service-worker/session.ts:26` swallow removal) and Plan B's Phase 8 (WASM parser exports) only if a coordination question arises.
+
+## Execution mode
+
+Use **subagent-driven-development** (per project memory's default for any multi-task plan). Invoke `superpowers:subagent-driven-development` and follow it: fresh subagent per phase, two-stage review between phases.
+
+**Every subagent prompt MUST start with**:
+```
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario-plan-c
+```
+…before any other instruction. This is non-negotiable per project memory.
+
+**Sequencing matters.** Phase 1 (typed `StateHost`) is the precondition for phases 3 and 4. Phase 2 (SW storage extraction) is independent and can ship in parallel. Phases 3 and 4 both depend on phase 1. Phase 5 (P2 cluster) and phase 6 (`get_vault_status`) are independent of 3 and 4 — they can run in parallel.
+
+## Your scope and boundaries
+
+**In scope:**
+- Phase 1 — Typed `StateHost` interface in `extension/src/shared/state.ts` (no `any` in public surface) + generic `getState`/`setState` over `keyof PopupState` + double-registration guard + `__resetHostForTests` helper. Includes migration of `View` and `PopupState` from `extension/src/popup/popup.ts` to `extension/src/shared/types.ts` (or a new `shared/popup-state.ts`) to avoid a `popup → shared → popup` circular import.
+- Phase 2 — Extract `extension/src/service-worker/storage.ts` (`loadDeviceSettings`, `loadBlacklist`, `saveBlacklist` from both router files) + move `itemToManifestEntry` to `extension/src/service-worker/vault.ts`.
+- Phase 3 — Setup wizard SW migration: add `create_vault` and `attach_vault` SW messages; rewrite `setup.ts` as UI-only that posts those messages; convert the 6-step procedural wizard to a step-registry pattern; add `clearWizardState()` on `beforeunload` + step-0 reset.
+- Phase 4 — Split `vault.ts` into `vault-shell.ts` / `vault-sidebar.ts` / `vault-list.ts` / `vault-drawer.ts` / `vault-form-wrapper.ts`. Lift `vault_locked` RPC intercept into `shared/state.ts`. Reset `state.drawerOpen` on non-list `renderPane`. Debounce sidebar search (50-100ms).
+- Phase 5 — P2 cluster: inactivity-timer reset on content-callable messages (with documented exclusion set); `state.gitHost` clear on session expiry; teardown helper extraction (`teardownSettingsCommon`); `Promise.allSettled` in devices/trash; MutationObserver debounce in `content/detector.ts`.
+- Phase 6 — `get_vault_status` SW message + vault-sidebar status indicator (closes the `relicario status` parity gap).
+
+**Out of scope:** anything in Plan A (security/docs polish — `impl Drop`, `service-worker/session.ts:26` swallow removal, `.free()` audit, `recovery_qr.rs` docs, server hardening, env-var audit) or Plan B (CLI restructure — `cli/main.rs` split, `git_run`, parser migration to core; you only **consume** the WASM exports as a deferred follow-up). Extension P3s (form-header `isInTab()` redundancy, popup.ts `isInTab()` heuristic, item-form.ts `renderComingSoon` dead code, `types/login.ts` size, `vault.ts:18-26` backup-panel comment, capture/detector/fill username-finder dedup, capture submit-button hook scope, setup.ts passphrase-score `-1` sentinel, `setup.ts:1056-1062` chrome.storage bypass, `setup.ts:1-7` "5-step" header, glyphs.ts partial adoption, `types.ts` TotpKind flat-union, `totp-tools.ts:39-46` swallowed rejections, generator-panel cleanup guard, `item-list.ts` popover listeners, popup `popup.ts:178-181` unconditional teardowns). Other parity items (per-attachment `delete_attachment` SW message, `list --tag` filter doc note). Cross-cutting items not explicitly listed (chrome.storage.local direct reads outside the setup migration, bun test runner doc note, manifest version sync). The 8 "Open architectural decisions". WASM JS-naming snake_case → camelCase (deferred to a separate plan). Anything touching the in-flight uncommitted v0.5.x work. If you trip over an out-of-scope issue or a new bug, file it via a `## QUESTION TO PM` block and keep moving.
+
+**Hard rules:**
+- **Phase 1 first.** Do NOT start phases 3 or 4 until phase 1 is green and committed. The typed `StateHost` is the contract phases 3 and 4 build against.
+- **`View` / `PopupState` migration is part of phase 1**, not phase 4. Doing it later creates circular imports that surface mid-refactor and waste a day.
+- **Do NOT redo Plan A's `.free()` swallow removal** at `extension/src/service-worker/session.ts:26`. That's Dev-A's. But wherever your refactor *moves* a `.free()` callsite — most notably during phase 3 when `setup.ts`'s `verifiedHandle` retires and the new `create_vault`/`attach_vault` SW handlers acquire their own handles — the new location MUST call `wasm.lock(handle)` first regardless of whether Plan A's Rust-side `impl Drop` has landed yet. Cite Plan A as the source of the policy in your phase 3 commit message.
+- **`extension/src/wasm.d.ts` coordination with Plan B.** Plan B Phase 8 will touch this file for new parser exports. Verify by reading `extension/src/service-worker/vault.ts` whether your `create_vault`/`attach_vault` SW handlers need new WASM entry points — they likely don't (the SW already orchestrates `unlock`/`embed_image_secret`/`register_device`/`manifest_encrypt`). If you DO need new entries, escalate via `## QUESTION TO PM` so the touch order with Plan B can be sequenced.
+- **`create_vault` and `attach_vault` SW handlers must be transactional** — they hold their own internal session reference for the duration of the operation and do NOT consult or reset the user-facing inactivity timer until they return successfully. Document this contract in the handler header comments.
+- **Phase 4 `vault_locked` channel unification** keeps both signals (the SW's `session_expired` event AND the new `shared/state.ts` wrapper's intercept) firing during the migration window. Collapse only after both surfaces are verified consuming from `shared/state.ts`. Add a regression test asserting popup lock screen renders on `session_expired` and vault tab lock screen renders on the SW response intercept.
+- **Round out the WASM stub at `extension/src/__stubs__/relicario_wasm.stub.ts`** as part of phase 3. DEV-C noted only 7 of ~25 exports are stubbed; phase 3's vitest tests for `create_vault`/`attach_vault` need stubs for `embed_image_secret`, `register_device`, `manifest_encrypt`. Add them rather than file a separate ticket.
+- The `recovery_qr_generated_at` direct chrome.storage.local write at `setup.ts:1056-1062` is **out of scope** — leave it as-is; defer to a P3 cleanup.
+- Do not merge your branch to main. The PM owns merges.
+- Do not push `--force` or run `git reset --hard`. Per `CLAUDE.md`: ask first.
+
+## Coordination protocol
+
+You are one of multiple terminals. The relay routes messages between them.
+
+**At every phase boundary** (complete, blocked, or question): call `read_messages(for="dev-c")` first, then post your update via `post_message(from="dev-c", to="pm", kind="status"|"question", body="...")` and also print it here. Use this format:
+
+```
+## STATUS UPDATE — DEV-C
+Time: <iso8601 like 2026-05-04T14:30:00-07:00>
+Branch: feature/2026-05-04-c-extension-restructure
+Task: <phase number / short name>
+Status: STARTED | IN-PROGRESS | DONE | BLOCKED | REVIEW-READY
+Last commit: <short sha + first line of message>
+Tests: <green | red (which failed) | N/A>
+Notes: <anything PM needs to know — keep to 3 sentences max>
+```
+
+**When you need PM input mid-task**: post via `post_message(kind="question")` with format:
+
+```
+## QUESTION TO PM — DEV-C
+Time: <iso8601>
+Context: <what phase, what decision point>
+Options: <A: ... / B: ... / C: ...>
+Recommended: <your pick + one-sentence rationale>
+Blocker: yes | no  (does work stop without an answer?)
+```
+
+**You'll receive**: `## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-C` blocks from the PM via relay (or relayed by user if relay is down). Acknowledge and act.
+
+## Cross-plan coordination
+
+- **Plan A owns the `.free()` swallow removal** (`service-worker/session.ts:26`) and the Rust `impl Drop for SessionHandle`. Do not redo that work. Do honor the policy where you move callsites (see Hard Rules).
+- **Plan B Phase 8 ships WASM parser exports** (`parse_month_year` / `base32_decode_lenient` / `guess_mime`) that the extension can eventually consume. Consumption (SW message handlers wrapping the new exports) is **explicitly deferred to a future plan** — do NOT design those handlers in this train. The seam exists; nobody is wiring it yet.
+- **`extension/src/wasm.d.ts` shared touchpoint with Plan B.** See Hard Rules — you likely don't need to touch it. If you do, escalate to PM for sequencing.
+
+## Authority within the plan
+
+You don't need PM permission to:
+- Execute phase-to-phase per the plan
+- Make implementation decisions consistent with the plan and synthesis
+- Choose how the typed `StateHost` exposes `setState` (the plan suggests `setState<K extends keyof PopupState>`; pick the variant that gives the cleanest call-site ergonomics)
+- Pick which file `View` and `PopupState` migrate to (`shared/types.ts` vs new `shared/popup-state.ts`) — the plan accepts either
+- Add new tests, refactor your own code, fix bugs you introduce
+- Push commits to your feature branch
+
+You **do** escalate to PM when:
+- You discover phase 3's setup-to-SW migration needs new WASM entry points (would touch `wasm.d.ts` and conflict with Plan B Phase 8)
+- You discover the `view`/`PopupState` migration in phase 1 surfaces more TS errors than the plan estimated (~15-30); if you hit 100+ errors, the surface area is bigger than the plan accounts for
+- You discover a real bug in the existing `vault_locked` channels (e.g. popup currently doesn't actually receive `session_expired` despite the plan's premise)
+- A vitest test you can't make green after honest debugging (don't fudge — debug)
+- A discovered bug not in your plan
+- Anything destructive (per project rules)
+- Before opening the PR for review
+
+## Final steps before REVIEW-READY
+
+Run the project's full validation:
+
+```bash
+# From the worktree root (/home/alee/Sources/relicario-plan-c):
+cd extension
+npm test                      # vitest
+npm run build                 # Chrome build
+npm run build:firefox         # Firefox build
+cd ..
+
+# Done-criteria sanity greps:
+grep -n ': any' extension/src/shared/state.ts        # should return zero
+grep -rn 'relicario-wasm' extension/src/setup/       # should return zero (post-Phase-3)
+wc -l extension/src/setup/setup.ts                   # should be ≤ ~500
+wc -l extension/src/vault/vault.ts                   # should be ~200
+grep -n 'loadDeviceSettings\|loadBlacklist\|saveBlacklist' \
+   extension/src/service-worker/router/popup-only.ts \
+   extension/src/service-worker/router/content-callable.ts  # should be imports only, no defs
+grep -n 'itemToManifestEntry' extension/src/service-worker/router/  # should be imports only
+```
+
+Then push and open the PR:
+
+```bash
+git push -u origin feature/2026-05-04-c-extension-restructure
+gh pr create --base main --head feature/2026-05-04-c-extension-restructure --title "refactor(ext): typed StateHost + setup→SW + vault.ts split (Plan C)" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
+## Summary
+
+Architecture-review followup Plan C (extension restructure — eliminates the two steepest learning cliffs). Source: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-extension-restructure-design.md`.
+
+- **P1.6** — `extension/src/shared/state.ts` now has a concrete `StateHost` interface (no `any` in public surface), `getState`/`setState` generic over `keyof PopupState`, double-registration guard, `__resetHostForTests` helper. `View` and `PopupState` migrated from `popup/popup.ts` to `shared/types.ts` to break circular import.
+- **P1.9** — `service-worker/storage.ts` extracted; `itemToManifestEntry` moved to `service-worker/vault.ts`. Both router files import; no more duplicated definitions.
+- **P1.4** — `setup.ts` no longer imports `relicario-wasm`. New `create_vault` / `attach_vault` SW messages handle vault creation transactionally. Procedural wizard converted to a step-registry pattern (`{ id, render, attach }[]`). `clearWizardState()` on `beforeunload` + step-0 reset wipes sensitive `Uint8Array` material best-effort. `setup.ts` LOC dropped from 1220 to ~500.
+- **P1.5** — `vault.ts` split into `vault-shell.ts` / `vault-sidebar.ts` / `vault-list.ts` / `vault-drawer.ts` / `vault-form-wrapper.ts`. `vault.ts` retained at ~200 LOC (routing + state only). `vault_locked` RPC intercept lifted into `shared/state.ts` so popup and vault tab consume one channel. Drawer auto-closes on non-list views. Sidebar search debounced.
+- **P2 cluster** — inactivity timer resets on all messages except a documented exclusion set; `state.gitHost` clears on session expiry; `teardownSettingsCommon` extracted; `devices.ts`/`trash.ts` use `Promise.allSettled`; `content/detector.ts` MutationObserver debounced.
+- **`get_vault_status`** — closes the `relicario status` parity gap. New SW message returns cached `{ ahead, behind, lastSyncAt, pendingItems }`; vault sidebar renders an indicator on mount + manual refresh.
+
+## Cross-plan coordination respected
+
+- **Plan A** owns the `service-worker/session.ts:26` swallow removal and the Rust `impl Drop`. This PR does NOT redo that work. Wherever this refactor moved a `.free()` callsite (Phase 3 setup-to-SW migration), the new location calls `wasm.lock(handle)` first regardless of Plan A's status.
+- **Plan B Phase 8** WASM parser exports are a seam this PR does NOT consume in this train. Future plan wires the SW handlers.
+- **`extension/src/wasm.d.ts`** not touched by this PR (verified at Phase 3).
+
+## Test plan
+
+- [ ] `cd extension && npm test` passes (vitest including new tests for typed state, SW storage helpers, `clearWizardState`, drawer auto-close, `vault_locked` channel, `get_vault_status`)
+- [ ] `cd extension && npm run build && npm run build:firefox` clean
+- [ ] `grep -n ': any' extension/src/shared/state.ts` returns zero
+- [ ] `grep -rn 'relicario-wasm' extension/src/setup/` returns zero
+- [ ] `wc -l extension/src/setup/setup.ts` ≤ ~500
+- [ ] `wc -l extension/src/vault/vault.ts` ~200
+- [ ] Manual smoke: load extension → setup → unlock → vault tab → drawer behavior → settings → trash
+- [ ] Manual smoke: trigger session expiry, confirm both popup and vault tab show lock screen
+- [ ] Manual smoke: vault sidebar status indicator updates on sync

+# PM Kickoff Prompt — arch-followup architecture-review followups
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are the **project manager** for the arch-followup "architecture-review followups" release train. 3 senior developers report to you, each working in their own terminal on a parallel feature branch. The user runs all 4 terminals; a relay MCP server routes messages between you so the user does not need to copy-paste.
+
+## Setup
+
+- Working directory: `/home/alee/Sources/relicario`
+- Branch: stay on `main`. Do not check out feature branches.
+- Today: 2026-05-04. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply.
+
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; `from` is always `"pm"` for you
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="pm"` before each action
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm, dev-a, dev-b, dev-c`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. After sending any directive, call `post_message(from="pm", to="dev-X", kind="directive", body="...")`.
+
+**Fallback:** If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session (this happens when the relay server was not running when your session opened), use the Python shim instead:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario/tools/relay
+python3 call.py post_message '{"from":"pm","to":"dev-a","kind":"directive","body":"..."}'
+python3 call.py read_messages '{"for":"pm"}'
+```
+
+The shim connects over HTTP and has the same semantics as the MCP tools.
+
+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules (Spanish flourish in chat replies only, capitalization, autonomy defaults, never run git-destructive commands without asking)
+2. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md` — the canonical synthesis that drove all three plans (10 P1s + P2/P3 tail + 8 open architectural decisions)
+3. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-security-polish-design.md` — Plan A: security & docs polish (S, independent, ships first)
+4. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md` — Plan B: CLI restructure (M-L, multi-day)
+5. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-extension-restructure-design.md` — Plan C: extension restructure (L, multi-day to multi-week, largest)
+6. `docs/superpowers/coordination/RELAY.md` — multi-agent paradigm + relay reference (you are inside this paradigm right now)
+
+Skim the per-reviewer notes only if a dev's question forces it: `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-a-notes.md` (Rust core), `dev-b-notes.md` (Rust consumers), `dev-c-notes.md` (TypeScript).
+
+## Your authority
+
+- Approve or deny scope changes from devs
+- Review and merge PRs from each dev's feature branch
+- Drive any release-prep work that isn't a feature plan (e.g. CHANGELOG entries per merged PR, version bumps if any) — this is your hands-on work
+- Coordinate sequencing of the cross-plan touch points (see "Cross-plan coordination" below)
+- Tag a milestone (e.g. `arch-followup-complete` or whatever the user prefers) once everything is integrated **— but only after explicit user approval**
+
+## Your boundaries
+
+- Don't write feature code yourself. Edits to docs / CHANGELOG / `CLAUDE.md` are fine.
+- Don't deviate from the spec without user approval.
+- Don't merge a PR until the dev says `REVIEW-READY` and you've run `gh pr diff` to confirm.
+- Don't tag without user approval.
+- Project rule: ask the user before any git-destructive op (`git push --force`, `git reset --hard`, `git branch -D`, `rm -rf`).
+
+## Cross-plan coordination (you must enforce)
+
+The three plans were drafted with explicit cross-boundary cites. Hold devs to them:
+
+- **Plan A is fully independent of B and C.** It can ship anytime. There is no merge-order dependency.
+- **Plan B Phase 8 (WASM parser exports + `wasm.d.ts` mirror) is a seam Plan C will eventually consume**, but the consumption (SW message handlers wrapping the new exports) is **explicitly deferred to a future plan**. B does NOT block C, and C does NOT block B during execution. The seam exists; nobody is wiring it yet.
+- **Both B and C touch `extension/src/wasm.d.ts` at most once each.** If both must touch it in the same window, sequence Plan B's edits first and rebase Plan C on top. Plan C's design says it likely does NOT need to touch `wasm.d.ts` (its `create_vault`/`attach_vault` SW handlers reuse already-declared WASM entries) — verify when C reaches Phase 3.
+- **Plan A owns the removal of the `try { current.free() }` swallow** at `extension/src/service-worker/session.ts:26` and the Rust-side `impl Drop for SessionHandle`. Plan C must NOT redo that work, but wherever Plan C *moves* a `.free()` callsite (most notably during the Phase 3 setup-to-SW migration where `setup.ts`'s `verifiedHandle` retires and the new `create_vault`/`attach_vault` handlers acquire their own handles), the new location must call `wasm.lock(handle)` first regardless of Plan A's status.
+
+## Judgment calls in the plans worth flagging
+
+The subagents who drafted the plans flagged these decisions for your awareness:
+
+- **Plan A Phase 4 — `tools/relay/queue.test.ts:54` is already fixed** in commit `061facd` (planning subagent verified). The phase records this as a verification step rather than a code change. Plan A's real Phase 4 work is `tools/relay/start.sh` — both `launch_tmux` and `launch_kitty` still launch only PM/Dev-A/Dev-B (no Dev-C window); the manual-mode banner still says "Open 3 new terminals"; no `*-dev-c-prompt.md` is discovered. That part IS still needed.
+- **Plan A `.free()` audit yielded exactly one callsite** under `extension/src/` (the SW one at `session.ts:26`). The plan records the grep command for reproducibility; if a future surface adds a second callsite, this PR's grep becomes the baseline.
+- **Plan B Phase 7 — `MonthYear::new` currently returns `Result<_, &'static str>`** (DEV-A's P3 nit). Plan B recommends re-wrapping the error in `MonthYear::parse` rather than migrating `new` to `RelicarioError` — keeps Plan B focused. If you'd rather have Plan B address the consistency now, raise it with the user before Dev-B starts Phase 7.
+- **Plan B Phase 8 keeps snake_case naming** for the new WASM exports (consistent with every existing export). The snake_case → camelCase decision (DEV-B/DEV-C P3) is **explicitly deferred to a separate plan**; introducing camelCase only for the three new exports would create a worst-of-both-worlds inconsistency.
+- **Plan C Phase 1 — `View` and `PopupState` currently live in `extension/src/popup/popup.ts`** (lines 70-92). The phase 1 typed `StateHost` interface needs to import them, but doing so directly creates a `popup → shared → popup` circular import. The plan calls for migrating those types to `extension/src/shared/types.ts` (or a new `shared/popup-state.ts`) as part of phase 1 before re-importing. Make sure Dev-C has done this migration before consuming TS errors elsewhere.
+- **Plan C noted only 7 of ~25 WASM exports** are currently stubbed in `extension/src/__stubs__/relicario_wasm.stub.ts`. Plan C Phase 3's vitest tests for `create_vault`/`attach_vault` will need additional stubs (`embed_image_secret`, `register_device`, `manifest_encrypt`) — Dev-C should round those out as part of the phase rather than file a separate ticket.
+
+If any of these conflict with your judgment, raise it with the user before kickoff.
+
+## The 8 "Open architectural decisions"
+
+The synthesis appendix lists 8 decisions that are user-judgement calls, not implementation tasks:
+
+1. Was `impl Drop for SessionHandle` deliberately omitted? — **Plan A confirms it was not**, and ships the fix.
+2. Should CLI parsers migrate to core? — **Plan B Phase 7 says yes** and ships the migration.
+3. Bootstrap rule for missing `devices.json` — **out of scope**, defer.
+4. `Lock` no-op CLI subcommand visibility — **out of scope**, defer.
+5. Task 12 cleanup status (`cmd_backup_export` still reads `devices.json`) — **out of scope**, defer.
+6. `tools/relay/call.py` and `call.ts` tracking — **already tracked** (per `RELAY.md`).
+7. WASM JS naming snake_case → camelCase — **explicitly deferred** to a separate plan (Plan B Phase 8 does NOT take a position).
+8. `.gitea_env_vars` gitignore — **already done** in commit `4a726c2`.
+
+You do not need to act on any of these unless the user reopens one. They're listed so you have the context if a dev surfaces a related question.
+
+## Coordination protocol
+
+You are one of 4 terminals. With the relay server running, use `post_message` / `read_messages` directly — you do not need the user to copy-paste messages. Call `read_messages(for="pm")` before every action. If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session, fall back to the Python shim (see **Relay server** section above) or ask the user to relay manually.
+
+**You receive:** `## STATUS UPDATE — DEV-<letter>` or `## QUESTION TO PM — DEV-<letter>` blocks, either from the relay inbox or relayed by the user if the relay is down.
+
+**You emit:** a `## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-<letter>` block — post it via `post_message` and also print it here so the user can see it. Format:
+
+```
+## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-<letter>
+Time: <iso8601>
+Action: PROCEED | HOLD | RESCOPE | REVIEW-COMPLETE | MERGE-APPROVED
+Notes: <one paragraph max>
+Next: <one concrete instruction or "continue plan">
+```
+
+When asked "status?" by the user at any time, give a current rollup:
+
+```
+## RELEASE STATUS — arch-followup
+Devs: <per-dev one-line state>
+PM: <what you're working on>
+Blockers: <list, or "none">
+Next milestone: <e.g., "Dev A REVIEW-READY", "Plan A merged">
+```
+
+## Reviewing PRs
+
+When a dev posts `Action: REVIEW-READY` with a PR URL:
+
+1. `gh pr view <url>` to read description and CI status
+2. `gh pr diff <url>` to read changes
+3. Check the diff against the spec (synthesis) and the plan's Done criteria checklist
+4. If green: post `Action: MERGE-APPROVED` and run `gh pr merge --merge` (preserve git history; no squash — the project preserves git as audit log per `CLAUDE.md`)
+5. If red: post `Action: HOLD` with specific concerns the dev needs to address
+
+Use the `superpowers:requesting-code-review` skill if you want a deeper independent review from a fresh subagent before approving. For Plan A in particular (defense-in-depth crypto fix), an independent review is worth the cost.
+
+## Per-plan acceptance gating
+
+- **Plan A:** every Done-criteria checkbox in `2026-05-04-security-polish-design.md` checked off; the `.free()` audit grep recorded in PR description; both the wasm-bindgen-test and the native `#[test]` for `Drop` present and passing; `recovery_qr.rs` documentation density visibly matches `crypto.rs` / `imgsecret.rs`.
+- **Plan B:** every Done-criteria checkbox in `2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md` checked off; `cargo test --workspace` green; `cargo clippy --workspace` silent; `cargo build -p relicario-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown` clean; the 16 `bail!("git X failed")` sites all collapsed; the 7 `refresh_groups_cache` callsites all using `after_manifest_change`; one canonical `ParamsFile`; batched purge measured (3 git invocations for ≥3 items).
+- **Plan C:** every Done-criteria checkbox in `2026-05-04-extension-restructure-design.md` checked off; vitest green; `bun run build` + `bun run build:firefox` clean; no `any` in `StateHost`; SW router files import the new helpers; `setup.ts` ≤ ~500 LOC and does not import `relicario-wasm`; `vault.ts` ~200 LOC of routing+state only; single `vault_locked` channel.
+
+## Pre-tag checklist
+
+Before tagging or otherwise marking the followup train complete:
+
+- [ ] All three plan branches merged to main
+- [ ] Full test suite green on main: `cargo test --workspace && cd extension && npm test && cd ../tools/relay && bun test`
+- [ ] Standard build green on main: `cargo build && cd extension && npm run build && npm run build:firefox`
+- [ ] User-driven smoke test of the merged result (load extension, exercise unlock + setup + a vault op; run the CLI through `relicario init`/`add`/`list`/`sync`)
+- [ ] Synthesis P2/P3 tail re-evaluated — anything still worth a follow-up plan? If so, draft a one-line tracker.

+
+## First action
+
+1. Call `read_messages(for="pm")` to drain any early inbox messages.
+2. Emit a `## RELEASE STATUS` block confirming you've absorbed the synthesis, all three plans, and the cross-plan coordination notes. Note the judgment calls above for the user's awareness.
+3. Send opening directives to all three devs via `post_message`:
+   - **Dev-A:** start Plan A Phase 1 (Rust `impl Drop` + test). It's S-effort and independent — no waiting on anyone.
+   - **Dev-B:** start Plan B Phase 1 (mechanical split of `cli/main.rs`). Cite that this is the precondition for everything else in B.
+   - **Dev-C:** start Plan C Phase 1 (typed `StateHost` + `View`/`PopupState` migration). Cite that phase 1 is the precondition for phases 3 and 4. Also cite the migration of `View`/`PopupState` to `shared/types.ts` to avoid the circular import.
+4. Wait for acknowledgement STATUS UPDATEs from all devs before clearing them to proceed deeper into their plans.

+# CLI Tail — Cycle 2 Coordinator
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-09
+**Status:** Draft (launches once cycle-1 prerequisites land)
+**Theme:** parallelize the post-split tail of Plan B (the CLI restructure) across three independent streams. Plan B's eight phases are already defined in `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md`; this coordinator only partitions the remaining phases across cycle-2 streams and records the cross-stream contracts.
+
+## What this is
+
+The cycle-1 four-agent run (`2026-05-04-arch-followup-*`) ships:
+
+- **Stream A** — Plan A (security + docs polish): `impl Drop for SessionHandle`, JS swallow removal, `recovery_qr.rs` docs, `start.sh` fourth-window. Independent of B and C.
+- **Stream B** — Plan B Phases 1 + 2 only (mechanical `main.rs` split + `helpers::git_run` + 16-site sweep). Stops after Phase 2 per a 2026-05-09 user-driven RESCOPE directive.
+- **Stream C** — Plan C (extension restructure). Did not launch in cycle 1 (DEV-C never acked); remains pending and is *not* picked up by cycle 2 (still its own multi-week effort, separate kickoff).
+
+The remaining six Plan B phases (3 through 8) are partitioned across three cycle-2 streams below. Each cycle-2 stream is independent of the other two once cycle-1 Stream B (Phase 1 + 2) has merged to `main`.
+
+## Pre-launch checklist (cycle 2 cannot open until all green)
+
+- [ ] Cycle-1 Stream A merged to `main`
+- [ ] Cycle-1 Stream B PR (Phase 1 + 2 bundle) merged to `main`
+- [ ] Working tree clean on `main`; `git pull` reflects both merges
+- [ ] All cycle-1 worktrees torn down (`git worktree remove ../relicario.arch-followup-stream-a` and `*-stream-b`); cycle-1 branches deleted locally if requested
+- [ ] Relay server still running on `localhost:7331` (check `ss -ltn 'sport = :7331'`)
+- [ ] Cycle-2 kickoff prompts present in `docs/superpowers/coordination/2026-05-09-cli-tail-{pm,dev-a,dev-b,dev-c}-prompt.md`
+
+## Stream partition
+
+| Stream | Branch | Worktree | Plan B phases | Theme |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| A | `feature/cli-tail-stream-a-prompt-helpers` | `/home/alee/Sources/relicario.cli-tail-stream-a` | Phase 3 | `prompt_or_flag<T>` + `build_*_item` compression |
+| B | `feature/cli-tail-stream-b-session-manifest` | `/home/alee/Sources/relicario.cli-tail-stream-b` | Phases 4, 5, 6 | `Vault::after_manifest_change`, canonical `ParamsFile`, batched purge |
+| C | `feature/cli-tail-stream-c-core-wasm-seam` | `/home/alee/Sources/relicario.cli-tail-stream-c` | Phases 7, 8 | parser migration to `relicario-core` + base32 dedup + WASM exports |
+
+Phases reference the canonical definitions in `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md`. Devs do NOT redesign — they execute against that spec.
+
+## Cross-stream dependencies (cycle 2)
+
+- **Stream A and Stream B**: both touch `crates/relicario-cli/src/commands/*.rs` files but in disjoint ways. Stream A modifies `commands/add.rs` (the seven `build_*_item` builders). Stream B modifies `commands/init.rs` (`ParamsFile`), `commands/trash.rs` (batched purge), and seven manifest-mutation sites scattered across `commands/{add,edit,trash,attach,settings,import}.rs`. Conflict surface is `commands/add.rs` (A modifies builders; B modifies the `after_manifest_change` callsite). Whoever opens their PR second rebases.
+- **Stream B internal sequencing**: Phase 6 (batched purge) depends on Phase 4 (`after_manifest_change` wrapper) — Phase 6's commit message logic uses the wrapper. Phase 5 (`ParamsFile`) is independent of 4 and 6 within Stream B; can ship first, last, or middle.
+- **Stream C**: touches `crates/relicario-core/`, `crates/relicario-wasm/`, and `extension/src/wasm.d.ts` only. Zero overlap with Streams A and B. Internal sequencing: Phase 7 (parser migration to core) before Phase 8 (WASM exports + `wasm.d.ts` mirror).
+- **No cross-stream interface contracts.** All three plans were finalized in cycle 1; the partition does not introduce new contracts.
+
+## Pre-merge checklist (per cycle-2 stream)
+
+Same as cycle 1, plus a narration check:
+
+- [ ] Stream's owned phases all complete per Plan B's "Done criteria"
+- [ ] `cargo test --workspace` green on the stream's worktree
+- [ ] `cargo clippy --workspace` silent
+- [ ] `cargo build -p relicario-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown` clean (always, but Stream C in particular)
+- [ ] No regression in CLI behaviour — existing `crates/relicario-cli/tests/*` tests pass without modification
+- [ ] Narration discipline observed — STATUS UPDATEs include in-flight beats, not just phase boundaries
+- [ ] PR description cross-references the corresponding Plan B phase numbers
+
+## Out of scope for cycle 2
+
+- Plan C (extension restructure) — multi-week effort, scheduled separately when DEV-C bandwidth available
+- The Plan B `helpers::git_run` itself (shipped in cycle 1 Stream B)
+- The cycle-1 P3 nits explicitly out-of-scope in Plan B
+- The eight "Open architectural decisions" from the synthesis
+
+## Tag
+
+No release tag for cycle 2. Same as the cycle-1 architecture-review followup train — these are structural-cleanup bundles, not versioned releases. Each stream merges via `gh pr merge --merge` (preserve history; no squash per project convention).

+# Dev A Kickoff Prompt — CLI Tail (Cycle 2) Stream A
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are a **senior developer** owning Stream A of the CLI-tail cycle-2 release.
+
+Stream A is **Plan B Phase 3** — `prompt_or_flag<T>` helper plus the seven `build_*_item` builder compression in the CLI. Single phase, S-M effort. The phase is defined in `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md` under "Phase 3 — `prompt_or_flag<T>` and `build_*_item` compression". Cycle 1 already shipped the mechanical `main.rs` split (Phase 1) and the `helpers::git_run` sweep (Phase 2), so the file tree under `crates/relicario-cli/src/commands/` and `prompt.rs` is in place — your job is to add the helper to `prompt.rs` and refactor the seven builders in `commands/add.rs`.
+
+A PM in another terminal coordinates you with Dev-B (session/manifest discipline — Phases 4, 5, 6) and Dev-C (parser migration + WASM seam — Phases 7, 8). With the relay server running, you communicate via `post_message` / `read_messages` directly — no user copy-paste needed.
+
+## Setup (do this first)
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario
+git fetch
+git checkout main
+git pull
+git worktree add ../relicario.cli-tail-stream-a -b feature/cli-tail-stream-a-prompt-helpers
+cd ../relicario.cli-tail-stream-a
+pwd  # should print /home/alee/Sources/relicario.cli-tail-stream-a
+```
+
+**ALL subsequent work happens in `/home/alee/Sources/relicario.cli-tail-stream-a`**. Force-cd subagents into this directory — `CLAUDE.md` has a memory rule that subagent prompts MUST start with `cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.cli-tail-stream-a` so subagents don't accidentally commit to main. This is non-negotiable.
+
+Today: 2026-05-09. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply.
+
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; your `from` is always `"dev-a"`
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="dev-a"` before each task
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm, dev-a, dev-b, dev-c`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. Before starting each task: `read_messages(for="dev-a")`. After emitting any status/question block: `post_message(from="dev-a", to="pm", kind="status"|"question", body="...")`.
+
+**Fallback:** If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session, use the Python shim:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario/tools/relay
+python3 call.py post_message '{"from":"dev-a","to":"pm","kind":"status","body":"..."}'
+python3 call.py read_messages '{"for":"dev-a"}'
+```
+
+**Cycle-1 lessons baked in (read once):**
+
+- **Prefer single-line `body` content** when posting to the relay. Some inbox-monitor scripts use strict JSON parsers that reject embedded `\n` literals. Use periods between sentences and ` -- ` for stronger breaks; reserve actual newlines for STATUS UPDATEs you're printing locally only.
+- **If you build your own inbox-monitor in Python**: f-strings cannot contain backslash-escaped quotes inside brace expressions. Use single quotes inside: `{m.get('from')}` not `{m.get(\"from\")}`. Cycle-1 dev-a and dev-b both hit this; documenting once here.
+
+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules
+2. `docs/superpowers/coordination/2026-05-09-cli-tail-coordinator.md` — partition spec; confirms your scope is Phase 3 only
+3. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md` — Plan B (your scope is **Phase 3 only**; read the whole plan for context, but execute Phase 3)
+4. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md` — synthesis (skim only — your work is fully captured in Plan B)
+5. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-b-notes.md` — DEV-B's notes; the relevant section is the `build_*_item` discussion (line-level context for the seven builders the synthesis abbreviates)
+
+## Execution mode
+
+Use **subagent-driven-development** (per `CLAUDE.md` memory default for any multi-task plan). Invoke `superpowers:subagent-driven-development` and follow it: fresh subagent per sub-step, two-stage review.
+
+**Every subagent prompt MUST start with**:
+
+```
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.cli-tail-stream-a
+```
+
+…before any other instruction. Non-negotiable per project memory.
+
+## Your scope and boundaries
+
+**In scope:** Plan B Phase 3 — adding `prompt_or_flag<T>` (and `prompt_or_flag_optional<T>`) to `crates/relicario-cli/src/prompt.rs`, then refactoring the seven `build_*_item` functions in `crates/relicario-cli/src/commands/add.rs` to use the helper. Per-type bodies should shrink by ~30%.
+
+**Out of scope:**
+- Phases 4, 5, 6 (Dev-B owns) — `Vault::after_manifest_change`, canonical `ParamsFile`, batched purge
+- Phases 7, 8 (Dev-C owns) — parser migration to `relicario-core`, base32 dedup, WASM exports
+- Anything outside Plan B's Phase 3 definition. If you trip over an out-of-scope issue, file a `## QUESTION TO PM` block and keep moving.
+
+**Hard rules:**
+- Do not change the CLI's external behaviour — all existing `crates/relicario-cli/tests/*` integration tests must pass without modification.
+- Do not merge your branch to main. The PM owns merges.
+- Do not push `--force` or run `git reset --hard`. Per `CLAUDE.md`: ask first.
+
+## Coordination protocol
+
+You are one of four terminals. The user runs all four; the PM in another terminal coordinates you.
+
+**Narration discipline.** STATUS UPDATEs at task boundaries are the floor, not the ceiling. Also emit `Status: IN-PROGRESS` updates at meaningful in-flight moments:
+
+- When you dispatch a subagent (so the user sees what's running)
+- When a subagent returns with a decision worth flagging (an unexpected finding, a trade-off taken, a surprise)
+- When a sub-task completes (e.g. `prompt_or_flag` helper landed; first builder converted)
+- When you change direction or hit something unexpected
+- When you start a new sub-step
+
+The `Notes` field should narrate WHAT happened and WHY — not just "Phase 3 done". Three sentences max. Examples of useful: "subagent reported `build_login_item` already takes Result-wrapped fields, so the conversion is just chain-flattening"; "found one builder uses `prompt_secret`, kept it on raw `prompt_secret` since `prompt_or_flag` doesn't handle the no-echo case." Examples of NOT useful: "builder converted" with no context; "tests pass" with no count.
+
+Print every STATUS UPDATE locally before/after sending it so the user reads it in your own terminal.
+
+**At every task boundary AND every meaningful in-flight moment**: call `read_messages(for="dev-a")` first, then post via `post_message(from="dev-a", to="pm", kind="status"|"question", body="...")` and also print here. Format:
+
+```
+## STATUS UPDATE — DEV-A
+Time: <iso8601>
+Branch: feature/cli-tail-stream-a-prompt-helpers
+Task: <number / short name>
+Status: STARTED | IN-PROGRESS | DONE | BLOCKED | REVIEW-READY
+Last commit: <short sha + first line of message>
+Tests: <green | red (which failed) | N/A>
+Notes: <WHAT and WHY — 3 sentences max>
+```
+
+**When you need PM input mid-task**: post via `post_message(kind="question")`:
+
+```
+## QUESTION TO PM — DEV-A
+Time: <iso8601>
+Context: <what task, what decision point>
+Options: <A: ... / B: ... / C: ...>
+Recommended: <your pick + one-sentence rationale>
+Blocker: yes | no
+```
+
+**You'll receive**: `## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-A` blocks from the PM.
+
+## Ship-it autonomy + simplify discipline
+
+The project's `.claude/settings.json` allows you to write files, run cargo/npm/bun/python3, commit, push, and open PRs without confirmation prompts. Move at speed.
+
+**Hard guardrails (the deny list blocks these — never bypass with workarounds):** no `rm` / `rmdir`, no `git push --force` / `--force-with-lease`, no `git reset --hard`, no `git branch -D`, no `git worktree remove`, no `git clean -f*`, no `git checkout -- *`, no `git restore --source*`, no `sudo`, no `chmod 777`, no database drops. If you genuinely need one of these, surface a `## QUESTION TO PM` block.
+
+**Speed without spaghetti — required before every REVIEW-READY:**
+
+- Invoke `superpowers:simplify` on the changed code (it reviews for duplicate logic, missed reuse, gratuitous abstraction, half-finished implementations). Either accept its findings (and fix in the same commit) or surface a one-sentence rationale in the STATUS UPDATE Notes for why a flagged issue is intentional.
+- Do not create parallel implementations of an existing helper. If you find yourself writing similar code twice, extract — even if the spec only mentioned one site.
+- Do not add error handling, fallbacks, or validation for scenarios that can't happen (`CLAUDE.md` rule). Trust internal code and framework guarantees.
+- Default to no comments unless the WHY is non-obvious (`CLAUDE.md` rule). Don't explain WHAT well-named code already does.
+- Half-finished implementations are forbidden. Either ship a complete sub-task or surface a `## QUESTION TO PM` block.
+
+## Authority within Phase 3
+
+You don't need PM permission to:
+
+- Execute sub-steps per Plan B's Phase 3
+- Make implementation decisions consistent with Plan B
+- Write tests, refactor your own code, fix bugs you introduce
+- Push commits to your feature branch
+
+You **do** escalate when:
+
+- A scope question outside Plan B Phase 3
+- A test you can't make green after honest debugging
+- A discovered bug not in Plan B
+- Anything destructive (per `CLAUDE.md`)
+- Before opening the PR for review
+
+## Final steps before REVIEW-READY
+
+Run the project's full validation:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.cli-tail-stream-a
+cargo test --workspace
+cargo clippy --workspace
+cargo build -p relicario-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown
+```
+
+All three must be green / clean. Then push and open the PR:
+
+```bash
+git push -u origin feature/cli-tail-stream-a-prompt-helpers
+gh pr create --base main --head feature/cli-tail-stream-a-prompt-helpers --title "refactor(cli): prompt_or_flag helper + build_*_item compression (Plan B Phase 3)" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
+## Summary
+- Adds `prompt_or_flag<T>` and `prompt_or_flag_optional<T>` to `crates/relicario-cli/src/prompt.rs`
+- Refactors the seven `build_*_item` functions in `crates/relicario-cli/src/commands/add.rs` to use the helper
+- Per-type bodies shrink by ~30%; existing CLI integration tests pass without modification
+
+## Plan B Phase 3
+Implements `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md` Phase 3.
+See `docs/superpowers/coordination/2026-05-09-cli-tail-coordinator.md` for cycle-2 partition.
+
+## Test plan
+- [x] cargo test --workspace

+
+Emit a `## STATUS UPDATE` with `Status: REVIEW-READY` and the PR URL.
+
+## First action
+
+After reading: emit a `## STATUS UPDATE` confirming setup complete (worktree created, plan absorbed, on `feature/cli-tail-stream-a-prompt-helpers`), then start Phase 3 sub-step 1 (add `prompt_or_flag<T>` to `prompt.rs`).

+# Dev B Kickoff Prompt — CLI Tail (Cycle 2) Stream B
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are a **senior developer** owning Stream B of the CLI-tail cycle-2 release.
+
+Stream B is **Plan B Phases 4, 5, 6** — session/manifest discipline. Three phases, S-M effort each, total mid-day to multi-day:
+
+- **Phase 4** — `Vault::after_manifest_change(&self, manifest: &Manifest)` wrapper that funnels the seven manifest-mutation sites in `commands/{add,edit,trash,attach,settings,import}.rs` through one `save_manifest + groups-cache write` path. Marks `save_manifest` as `pub(crate)` (or renames it `save_manifest_raw`) so callers must use the wrapper.
+- **Phase 5** — Single canonical `ParamsFile` in `crates/relicario-cli/src/session.rs`, replacing the two-definition split between `commands/init.rs` (write side) and `session.rs:114` (read side). Adds `Serialize` + `Deserialize`, `for_new_vault` constructor, `into_kdf_params` inversion. On-disk JSON format must round-trip with current `params.json` files.
+- **Phase 6** — Batched purge in `cmd_purge` and `cmd_trash_empty`. Renames `purge_item` to `purge_item_filesystem` (filesystem mutation only); the callers accumulate paths and run a single `git_run(...["rm", "-rf", "--ignore-unmatch", paths...])` plus `git_run(...["add", "manifest.enc"])` plus one `git_run(...["commit"])` per batch. A 50-item `trash empty` should fire 3 git invocations total, not 150.
+
+The phases are defined in `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md` under "Phase 4", "Phase 5", "Phase 6". Internal sequencing: Phase 4 before Phase 6 (Phase 6 uses `after_manifest_change`); Phase 5 is independent of 4 and 6.

+- The `groups.cache` plaintext "failures silently swallowed" doc-comment from current `helpers.rs:90-93` must be preserved on the new `after_manifest_change` wrapper. Don't change the policy.
+- Do not merge your branch to main. The PM owns merges.
+- Do not push `--force` or run `git reset --hard`. Per `CLAUDE.md`: ask first.
+
+**Internal phase sequencing (within Stream B):**
+- Phase 5 (`ParamsFile`) is independent — ship first to get it out of the way, OR last for diff-locality with the session-touching Phase 4. Either is fine; pick whichever reviews more cleanly.

+- When you change direction or hit something unexpected

+
+## Ship-it autonomy + simplify discipline
+
+The project's `.claude/settings.json` allows you to write files, run cargo/npm/bun/python3, commit, push, and open PRs without confirmation prompts. Move at speed.
+
+**Hard guardrails (the deny list blocks these — never bypass with workarounds):** no `rm` / `rmdir`, no `git push --force` / `--force-with-lease`, no `git reset --hard`, no `git branch -D`, no `git worktree remove`, no `git clean -f*`, no `git checkout -- *`, no `git restore --source*`, no `sudo`, no `chmod 777`, no database drops. If you genuinely need one of these, surface a `## QUESTION TO PM` block.
+
+**Speed without spaghetti — required before every REVIEW-READY:**
+
+- Invoke `superpowers:simplify` on the changed code (it reviews for duplicate logic, missed reuse, gratuitous abstraction, half-finished implementations). Either accept its findings (and fix in the same commit) or surface a one-sentence rationale in the STATUS UPDATE Notes for why a flagged issue is intentional.
+- Do not create parallel implementations of an existing helper. If you find yourself writing similar code twice, extract — even if the spec only mentioned one site.
+- Do not add error handling, fallbacks, or validation for scenarios that can't happen (`CLAUDE.md` rule). Trust internal code and framework guarantees.
+- Default to no comments unless the WHY is non-obvious (`CLAUDE.md` rule). Don't explain WHAT well-named code already does.
+- Half-finished implementations are forbidden. Either ship a complete sub-task or surface a `## QUESTION TO PM` block.
+
+## Authority within Phases 4-6
+
+You don't need PM permission to:
+
+- Execute sub-steps per Plan B's Phases 4, 5, 6
+- Make implementation decisions consistent with Plan B
+- Write tests, refactor your own code, fix bugs you introduce
+- Push commits to your feature branch
+
+You **do** escalate when:
+
+- A scope question outside Plan B Phases 4-6
+- A test you can't make green after honest debugging
+- A discovered bug not in Plan B
+- Anything destructive (per `CLAUDE.md`)
+- Before opening the PR for review
+- If you find an unexpected manifest-mutation site beyond the seven DEV-B notes flagged (likely surfaces in Phase 4)
+
+## Final steps before REVIEW-READY
+
+Run the project's full validation:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.cli-tail-stream-b
+cargo test --workspace
+cargo clippy --workspace
+cargo build -p relicario-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown
+```
+
+All three must be green / clean. Then push and open the PR:
+
+```bash
+git push -u origin feature/cli-tail-stream-b-session-manifest
+gh pr create --base main --head feature/cli-tail-stream-b-session-manifest --title "refactor(cli): session/manifest discipline (Plan B Phases 4, 5, 6)" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
+## Summary
+- Phase 4 — `Vault::after_manifest_change` wrapper funnels seven manifest-mutation sites; `save_manifest` made `pub(crate)` so callers can't bypass the wrapper
+- Phase 5 — Single canonical `ParamsFile` in `session.rs` replaces the two-definition split; on-disk JSON round-trips with existing vaults (fixture-string test)
+- Phase 6 — Batched purge: a 50-item `trash empty` now fires 3 git invocations instead of 150
+
+## Plan B Phases 4-6
+Implements `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md` Phases 4, 5, 6.

+# Dev C Kickoff Prompt — CLI Tail (Cycle 2) Stream C
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are a **senior developer** owning Stream C of the CLI-tail cycle-2 release.
+
+Stream C is **Plan B Phases 7 and 8** — the parser migration to `relicario-core` plus the WASM seam. Two phases, M effort:
+
+- **Phase 7** — Migrate `parse_month_year`, `base32_decode_lenient`, `guess_mime` from `crates/relicario-cli/src/parse.rs` into `relicario-core` (`MonthYear::parse` on `time.rs`, new `pub(crate) mod base32` with `encode_rfc4648` / `decode_rfc4648_lenient`, new `mime::guess_for_extension`). Pair with DEV-A's P2 base32 dedup: extract the inline `base32_encode` from `crates/relicario-core/src/item.rs:255-275` and `decode_base32_totp` from `crates/relicario-core/src/import_lastpass.rs:202-220` into the new shared module. Steam's `STEAM_ALPHABET` at `item_types/totp.rs:13` stays untouched (with a neighbour comment). The CLI's `parse.rs` becomes a thin re-export shim — no callsite changes in cycle 2.
+- **Phase 8** — `#[wasm_bindgen]` exports for the three migrated parsers (`parse_month_year`, `base32_decode_lenient`, `guess_mime`) plus the matching declarations in `extension/src/wasm.d.ts`. snake_case JS naming consistent with every existing export. Plan C (extension restructure) does NOT consume these this round — the seam ships in cycle 2; consumption is a future plan.
+
+Phase definitions are canonical in `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md` Phases 7 and 8. Internal sequencing: Phase 7 before Phase 8.
+
+A PM in another terminal coordinates you with Dev-A (Plan B Phase 3) and Dev-B (Plan B Phases 4, 5, 6). With the relay server running, you communicate via `post_message` / `read_messages` directly.
+
+## Setup (do this first)
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario
+git fetch
+git checkout main
+git pull
+git worktree add ../relicario.cli-tail-stream-c -b feature/cli-tail-stream-c-core-wasm-seam
+cd ../relicario.cli-tail-stream-c
+pwd  # should print /home/alee/Sources/relicario.cli-tail-stream-c
+```
+
+**ALL subsequent work happens in `/home/alee/Sources/relicario.cli-tail-stream-c`**. Force-cd subagents into this directory — `CLAUDE.md` has a memory rule that subagent prompts MUST start with `cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.cli-tail-stream-c` so subagents don't accidentally commit to main. Non-negotiable.
+
+Today: 2026-05-09. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply.
+
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; your `from` is always `"dev-c"`
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="dev-c"` before each task
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm, dev-a, dev-b, dev-c`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. Before starting each task: `read_messages(for="dev-c")`. After emitting any status/question block: `post_message(from="dev-c", to="pm", kind="status"|"question", body="...")`.
+
+**Fallback:** If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session, use the Python shim:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario/tools/relay
+python3 call.py post_message '{"from":"dev-c","to":"pm","kind":"status","body":"..."}'
+python3 call.py read_messages '{"for":"dev-c"}'
+```
+
+**Cycle-1 lessons baked in (read once):**
+
+- **Prefer single-line `body` content** when posting to the relay. Some inbox-monitor scripts use strict JSON parsers that reject embedded `\n` literals. Use periods between sentences and ` -- ` for stronger breaks; reserve actual newlines for STATUS UPDATEs you're printing locally only.
+- **If you build your own inbox-monitor in Python**: f-strings cannot contain backslash-escaped quotes inside brace expressions. Use single quotes inside: `{m.get('from')}` not `{m.get(\"from\")}`. Cycle-1 DEV-A and DEV-B both hit this; documenting once here so cycle-2 DEV-C does not.
+
+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules
+2. `docs/superpowers/coordination/2026-05-09-cli-tail-coordinator.md` — partition spec; confirms your scope is Phases 7 + 8 only
+3. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md` — Plan B (read the whole plan; execute Phases 7 and 8)
+4. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md` — synthesis (skim only — your work is fully captured in Plan B)
+5. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-a-notes.md` — DEV-A's notes; the relevant section is the P2 "three base32 implementations" finding (the dedup that pairs with your Phase 7)
+6. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-b-notes.md` — DEV-B's notes; the relevant section is the parser-migration P2 (line-level context for `parse_month_year`, `base32_decode_lenient`, `guess_mime`)
+7. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-c-notes.md` — read **only** the "Boundary notes for DEV-B" section (cross-boundary contracts — `wasm.d.ts` is hand-maintained; every change must mirror; BigInt typing care for `attachment_encrypt`-style paths, but your three new exports take only `&str` and return primitives so they avoid that class)
+
+## Execution mode
+
+Use **subagent-driven-development**. Invoke `superpowers:subagent-driven-development` and follow it: fresh subagent per phase, two-stage review.
+
+**Every subagent prompt MUST start with**:
+
+```
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.cli-tail-stream-c
+```
+
+…before any other instruction.
+
+## Your scope and boundaries
+
+**In scope:** Plan B Phases 7 and 8 — parser migration to `relicario-core` (paired with DEV-A P2 base32 dedup), then WASM exports + `extension/src/wasm.d.ts` mirror.
+
+**Out of scope:**
+- Phase 3 (Dev-A owns) — `prompt_or_flag<T>` + builder compression
+- Phases 4, 5, 6 (Dev-B owns) — session/manifest discipline
+- Plan C (extension restructure) — consumption of your new WASM exports is explicitly deferred to a future plan; you ship the seam, you do NOT wire SW message handlers in the extension.
+- Anything outside Plan B Phases 7-8. If you trip over an out-of-scope issue (e.g. a fourth base32 implementation surfaces; a parser the CLI uses that wasn't in Plan B's three), file a `## QUESTION TO PM` block and keep moving.
+
+**Hard rules:**
+- Steam's `STEAM_ALPHABET` at `crates/relicario-core/src/item_types/totp.rs:13` is intentionally non-RFC-4648; do NOT consolidate it into the new shared base32 module. Add a neighbour comment: `// not RFC 4648 — Steam Guard's de-ambiguated alphabet; see crate::base32 for the standard impl.`
+- The CLI's `parse.rs` becomes a thin re-export shim — keep callsite imports unchanged in cycle 2 (no caller-side import churn).
+- WASM JS naming stays snake_case for the three new exports — consistent with every existing `#[wasm_bindgen]` export. Do NOT introduce camelCase here; that decision is explicitly deferred per Plan B.
+- `extension/src/wasm.d.ts` mirror lands in the same commit as the Rust `#[wasm_bindgen]` additions. Both sides updated together; no half-state.
+- Do not change CLI external behaviour — all existing `crates/relicario-cli/tests/*` integration tests must pass without modification.
+- Do not merge your branch to main. The PM owns merges.
+- Do not push `--force` or run `git reset --hard`. Per `CLAUDE.md`: ask first.
+
+**Internal phase sequencing (within Stream C):**
+- Phase 7 (parser migration to core + base32 dedup) before Phase 8 (WASM exports). Phase 8 imports from the new core paths; Phase 7 must compile clean first.
+
+## Coordination protocol
+
+You are one of four terminals. The PM coordinates you with Dev-A and Dev-B.
+
+**Narration discipline.** STATUS UPDATEs at task boundaries are the floor, not the ceiling. Also emit `Status: IN-PROGRESS` updates at meaningful in-flight moments:
+
+- When you dispatch a subagent
+- When a subagent returns with a decision worth flagging (an unexpected coupling, an alternative API shape considered, a found-but-flagged out-of-scope issue)
+- When a sub-task completes (e.g. base32 module landed; `MonthYear::parse` integrated; first WASM export wired)
+- When you change direction or hit something unexpected
+- When you start a new phase
+
+The `Notes` field should narrate WHAT and WHY. Three sentences max. Examples of useful: "subagent surfaced a fourth base32 callsite in `crates/relicario-core/src/manifest.rs:??`; not in DEV-A P2's flagged list — escalating as a question"; "kept `MonthYear::parse` returning `Result<Self, RelicarioError>` rather than touching `MonthYear::new`'s `&'static str` per Plan B's recommendation; `new`-to-`RelicarioError` is DEV-A's separate P3"; "WASM exports compile clean; `wasm.d.ts` mirror passes `tsc --noEmit` in `extension/`." Print every STATUS UPDATE locally too.
+
+**At every task boundary AND every meaningful in-flight moment**: call `read_messages(for="dev-c")` first, then post via `post_message` and print here. Format:
+
+```
+## STATUS UPDATE — DEV-C
+Time: <iso8601>

+# PM Kickoff Prompt — CLI Tail (Cycle 2)
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are the **project manager** for the CLI-tail cycle-2 release. Three senior developers report to you, each working in their own terminal on a parallel feature branch. The user runs all four terminals.
+
+This release has no version tag — it's the second cycle of the architecture-review structural-cleanup bundle. Cycle 1 shipped Plan A (security + docs polish) and Plan B Phases 1 + 2 (mechanical `main.rs` split + `git_run` helper). Cycle 2 partitions the remaining six Plan B phases (3 through 8) across three independent streams. Plan C (extension restructure) is *not* in cycle 2 — it stays pending until DEV-C bandwidth is available, on its own kickoff.
+
+## Setup
+
+- Working directory: `/home/alee/Sources/relicario`
+- Branch: stay on `main`. Do not check out feature branches.
+- Today: 2026-05-09. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply (Spanish flourish in chat replies only, capitalize "Relicario", default to "yes"/recommended, never run git-destructive commands without asking, default to subagent-driven execution, force-cd subagents into their worktree).
+
+**Pre-launch state assumed:** cycle-1 Stream A merged, cycle-1 Stream B PR (Phase 1 + 2) merged, working tree clean on `main`, relay server alive on `localhost:7331`. Verify with `git log --oneline -5` and `ss -ltn 'sport = :7331'` before sending opening directives. If either is not in place, surface to the user before proceeding.
+
+## Cycle 1 outcomes (read for context — your context starts cold)
+
+The cycle-1 four-agent run (`docs/superpowers/coordination/2026-05-04-arch-followup-*-prompt.md`) produced:
+
+- **Stream A (security + docs polish)** merged to `main`. Key commits: `1e858e1` impl Drop for SessionHandle, `03d0781` SW free() unswallow, `229e483` recovery_qr.rs documentation, `f8296fa` rustdoc warning fix on a private intra-doc link, `0c9387f` start.sh fourth-window. Plan A complete.
+- **Stream B (CLI restructure Phases 1 + 2 only)** merged to `main` per a 2026-05-09 RESCOPE directive that halted Plan B at Phase 2 to enable cycle-2 parallelization. Key commits: `97c8f99` 15-site git_run sweep, `f3cdbed` git_run helper. `main.rs` shipped at 509 LOC (vs spec's ≤500); the 9-LOC overshoot is `#[arg(...)]` attribute density on 9 sub-enums and was accepted at merge — substance criterion (clap surface + dispatch + 2 shim families only) was met. DEV-B chose Plan B's option (b) for `git_run` (capture stderr + replay on failure) over option (a) (terminal-aware streaming).
+- **Stream C (extension restructure)** did NOT launch in cycle 1 (cycle-1 DEV-C never acked). Plan C remains pending and is *not* part of cycle 2 — it is a multi-week effort scheduled separately on its own kickoff.
+- **17 pre-existing extension test failures** on the kickoff baseline `bd3d53f` were documented in cycle-1 Stream A's PR. They sit in `extension/src/{service-worker,popup}/...` (devices/router/settings clusters) and pre-date the architecture review. Treat as the regression baseline: any cycle-2 red test outside this 17-failure cluster is a new regression and a stream's responsibility.
+
+## Lessons learned (bake into your coordination)
+
+Cycle 1 surfaced three operational gotchas worth pre-empting:
+
+- **Prefer single-line relay message bodies.** Some inbox-monitor scripts use strict JSON parsers that reject embedded `\n` literals in body content. Compose `body` fields as a single line with sentences separated by periods; use ` -- ` for stronger breaks. The relay itself accepts multi-line bodies, but the consuming dev's monitor may not.
+- **Python f-string footgun in inbox-monitor scripts.** If a dev reports a `SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character`, their polling script likely uses `print(f"... {m.get(\"from\")} ...")` — Python f-strings cannot contain backslash-escaped quotes inside brace expressions. Fix is single quotes: `m.get('from')`.
+- **Narration policy is non-negotiable.** Cycle 1 added it mid-run; cycle 2 has it baked into every kickoff. Devs MUST emit `Status: IN-PROGRESS` updates at meaningful in-flight moments (subagent dispatch, surprise findings, sub-task complete, phase start), not just at phase boundaries. You MUST narrate to the user in plain prose between tool calls — when a STATUS UPDATE lands, summarize it for the user before deciding; when you send a directive, state the rationale; when you dispatch a subagent, say so. Enforce both.
+
+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules
+2. `docs/superpowers/coordination/2026-05-09-cli-tail-coordinator.md` — **partition spec for this cycle. The canonical source for who owns what.**
+3. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md` — Plan B (phase definitions). Cycle 2 executes Phases 3 through 8.
+4. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md` — original synthesis (read the P-tags Plan B addresses: P1.2, P1.3, P1.10, plus the four CLI P2s)
+5. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-b-notes.md` — DEV-B's full notes (line-level context the synthesis abbreviates)

+| C | `feature/cli-tail-stream-c-core-wasm-seam` | DEV-C | Phases 7, 8 | parser migration to core + base32 dedup + WASM exports |
+
+**No interface contracts between streams.** All three are independent once the cycle-1 PRs have merged. Conflict surface: `commands/add.rs` (A modifies builders; B modifies a manifest-mutation callsite). Whichever stream opens its PR second rebases.
+
+## Your authority
+
+- Approve or deny scope changes from devs
+- Review and merge PRs from each stream's feature branch
+- Edit `docs/`, `CLAUDE.md`, or other doc artifacts as needed; do not write feature code
+
+## Your boundaries
+
+- Don't write feature code yourself. Edits to docs / `CLAUDE.md` are fine.
+- Don't deviate from Plan B's phase definitions without user approval.
+- Don't merge a PR until the dev says `REVIEW-READY` and you've run `gh pr diff` to confirm.
+- Don't tag — no tag planned for this cycle.
+- Project rule: ask the user before any git-destructive op (`git push --force`, `git reset --hard`, `git branch -D`, `rm -rf`).
+
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; `from` is always `"pm"` for you
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="pm"` before each action
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm, dev-a, dev-b, dev-c`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. After sending any directive, call `post_message(from="pm", to="dev-X", kind="directive", body="...")`.
+
+**Fallback:** If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session (this happens when the relay server was not running when your session opened), use the Python shim:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario/tools/relay
+python3 call.py post_message '{"from":"pm","to":"dev-a","kind":"directive","body":"..."}'
+python3 call.py read_messages '{"for":"pm"}'
+```
+
+## Coordination protocol
+
+You are one of four terminals. Use `post_message` / `read_messages` directly. Call `read_messages(for="pm")` before every action.
+
+**Narrate to the user in plain prose between tool calls.** The user's only window into the release is this terminal output. Don't emit DIRECTIVE blocks silently. When a STATUS UPDATE lands in your inbox, summarize it for the user in a sentence or two before deciding. When you send a directive, state the rationale briefly so the user sees the reasoning, not just the verdict. When you dispatch a subagent (e.g. for plan review or coherence pass), say so. One or two sentences per beat is plenty — the goal is for the user to read this terminal top-to-bottom and understand the release as a story.
+
+**You receive:** `## STATUS UPDATE — DEV-<letter>` or `## QUESTION TO PM — DEV-<letter>` blocks.
+
+**You emit:** a `## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-<letter>` block — post it via `post_message` and also print it here so the user can see it. Format:
+
+```
+## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-<letter>
+Time: <iso8601>
+Action: PROCEED | HOLD | RESCOPE | REVIEW-COMPLETE | MERGE-APPROVED
+Notes: <one paragraph max>
+Next: <one concrete instruction or "continue plan">
+```
+
+When asked "status?" by the user, give a current rollup:
+
+```
+## RELEASE STATUS — CLI Tail (Cycle 2)
+Devs: <per-dev one-line state>
+PM: <what you're working on>
+Blockers: <list, or "none">
+Next milestone: <e.g., "Stream A REVIEW-READY", "all three streams merged">
+```
+
+## Reviewing PRs
+
+When a dev posts `Action: REVIEW-READY` with a PR URL:
+
+1. `gh pr view <url>` to read description and CI status
+2. `gh pr diff <url>` to read changes
+3. Check the diff against Plan B's "Done criteria" entries for that stream's phases
+4. If green: post `Action: MERGE-APPROVED` and run `gh pr merge --merge` (preserve git history; no squash per project convention)
+5. If red: post `Action: HOLD` with specific concerns
+
+Use `superpowers:requesting-code-review` if you want a deeper independent review from a fresh subagent before approving.
+
+## Pre-merge checklist (per stream)
+
+Before each `MERGE-APPROVED`:
+
+- [ ] Plan B's "Done criteria" for the stream's owned phases all checked
+- [ ] `cargo test --workspace` green on the stream's worktree
+- [ ] `cargo clippy --workspace` silent
+- [ ] `cargo build -p relicario-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown` clean (always, Stream C especially)
+- [ ] No regression in CLI behaviour — existing `crates/relicario-cli/tests/*` pass without modification
+- [ ] Narration discipline observed in the PR's STATUS UPDATE history
+
+## First action
+
+1. Call `read_messages(for="pm")` to drain any early inbox messages.
+2. Verify pre-launch state: `git log --oneline -5 main`, `git status`, `ss -ltn 'sport = :7331'`. If any check fails, surface to the user before proceeding.
+3. Emit a `## RELEASE STATUS` block confirming context absorbed.
+4. Wait for setup-acknowledge STATUS UPDATEs from all three devs (their kickoff prompts have them post one after creating their worktree). Once all three are in, post opening `PROCEED` directives confirming each stream's plan path and phase scope.
+5. Standing watch: drain inbox before each action; respond to QUESTIONs and STATUS UPDATEs as they arrive.

+# RELAY — Multi-Agent Kickoff & Coordination
+
+How to spin up parallel Claude Code sessions that coordinate over a shared MCP relay. One PM, two or more Devs, each in their own terminal, each on their own branch / worktree, exchanging structured messages.
+
+## TL;DR — three commands
+
+```bash
+# 1. Generate kickoff prompts (interactive — answers the design questions)
+#    In any Claude Code session in this repo:
+/multi-agent-kickoff
+
+# 2. Start the relay + open the windows
+bash tools/relay/start.sh --kitty   # or --tmux, or --manual
+
+# 3. In each new Claude window, paste the prompt below the `---` line
+#    from the file the launcher prints (e.g. coordination/<date>-pm-prompt.md)
+```
+
+That's the whole workflow. Everything below is the why and the troubleshooting.
+
+## What this is
+
+The "PM/Senior-Dev paradigm" — one Claude session acts as project manager, two or more Claude sessions act as senior developers, each running its own subagents on a feature branch in its own worktree. They coordinate by sending each other typed messages (status / question / directive / free) through a tiny MCP server running locally.
+
+When to use it:
+
+- You have **2+ implementation plans** that share a release target and want to execute them in parallel under one coordinator.
+- You want each stream isolated (separate worktree, separate branch) so subagents can't accidentally commit to main or step on each other's files.
+- You want one human (the user) to be a relay-of-last-resort but not a router — the PM does the routing.
+
+When NOT to use it: one-off tasks, single-stream plans, anything where the overhead of "spin up four windows" exceeds the work itself. For those, just work in the foreground.
+
+## The pieces
+
+```

+                                └───────────────────┘
+```
+
+- **Relay MCP server** — `tools/relay/server.ts`. HTTP/SSE on `localhost:7331`. Exposes three MCP tools: `post_message`, `read_messages`, `list_pending`. Per-connection MCP server instance prevents routing collisions across concurrent SSE clients.
+- **In-memory queue** — `tools/relay/queue.ts`. Per-role inbox (`pm`, `dev-a`, `dev-b`, `dev-c`). `read` is consume-once (FIFO drain). No TTL, no persistence, no cap — relay is dev-only ephemeral; restart the server to wipe state.
+- **Launcher** — `tools/relay/start.sh`. Three modes (manual / tmux / kitty) that all start the relay and either open the role windows or print the commands for you to open them by hand.
+- **Fallback shim** — `tools/relay/call.py` (Python) and `tools/relay/call.ts` (TS). Direct CLI access to the same MCP tools, for when the in-Claude MCP client isn't loading or you want to script a status check from a regular shell. Both are tracked in the repo and load-bearing for the multi-agent flow — do not delete.
+
+## Invocation
+
+### Step 1 — Generate the kickoff prompts
+
+In any Claude Code session inside this repo, run:
+
+```
+/multi-agent-kickoff
+```
+
+The skill walks you through a short Q&A (release target, branch names per dev, plan-file paths, coordination cadence) and writes four prompt files to `docs/superpowers/coordination/`:
+
+```
+<date>-pm-prompt.md
+<date>-dev-a-prompt.md
+<date>-dev-b-prompt.md
+<date>-dev-c-prompt.md   (only if 3 devs)
+```
+
+Each prompt is self-contained: it tells the receiving session its role, its branch / worktree, the plan it owns, and the coordination protocol (block format, when to send status, who to escalate to). The launcher script discovers the latest `*-pm-prompt.md` / `*-dev-a-prompt.md` / etc. by `mtime`, so the most recently generated set wins automatically.
+
+### Step 2 — Start the relay
+
+Pick a launcher mode that matches your terminal setup.
+
+**`--kitty` (recommended on kitty)**
+
+```bash
+bash tools/relay/start.sh --kitty
+```
+
+Opens 4 (or 5 with dev-c) tabs in the current kitty window: one for the relay log, one per role. Each role tab launches `claude` in the repo root. Paste the corresponding prompt into each role tab to start the session.
+
+**`--tmux` (recommended on non-kitty)**
+
+```bash
+bash tools/relay/start.sh --tmux
+```
+
+Creates a tmux session `relay-lift` with windows `relay`, `pm`, `dev-a`, `dev-b` (and `dev-c` if a fourth prompt is found). Attaches automatically. `Ctrl-b N` to navigate windows. Detach with `Ctrl-b d`.
+
+**`--manual` (for any terminal)**
+
+```bash
+bash tools/relay/start.sh --manual
+```
+
+Starts the relay in the current terminal and prints `cat <path>` commands for each role. Open new terminals yourself and paste the printed commands; this is the most flexible mode for unusual setups (split panes, remote sessions, terminal multiplexers other than tmux).
+
+The launcher uses port **7331**. If it's already in use the script aborts with the kill command — `kill $(lsof -ti:7331)` clears it.
+
+### Step 3 — Drive the coordination
+
+The PM session is the entry point. Talk to PM about goals; PM decides who's working on what and posts directives to the dev sessions via the relay. Each dev reads its inbox, executes, and posts back status / questions. The user (you) is mostly a watcher — PM should self-route.
+
+Common rhythm:
+
+- **PM at start:** posts a directive to each dev describing the first slice.
+- **Dev on completion:** posts status with branch / commit / what shipped.
+- **Dev when blocked:** posts a question; PM unblocks (decision) or escalates to user.
+- **PM end-of-cycle:** asks each dev for a status, summarizes, decides next slice.
+
+Message kinds (`MessageKind` in `queue.ts`):
+
+| Kind | Use when |
+|------|----------|
+| `status` | "I shipped X, branch is at Y, ready for next slice" |
+| `question` | "Should I do A or B? Blocking until I hear back" |
+| `directive` | PM-to-dev: "Next, do X. Constraints are Y. Acceptance is Z." |
+| `free` | Anything that doesn't fit the above (FYI, side-channel chatter) |
+
+Block format inside `body` is freeform markdown. The kickoff prompts include the project's preferred block templates.
+
+## Fallback — when the MCP client misbehaves
+
+If a Claude session can't reach the relay's MCP tools (transient SSE hiccup, MCP server failed to register, sandboxed network), use the shim:
+
+```bash
+# From any shell, with the relay running on 7331:
+python3 tools/relay/call.py read_messages '{"for":"pm"}'
+python3 tools/relay/call.py post_message '{"from":"dev-a","to":"pm","kind":"status","body":"shipped X"}'
+python3 tools/relay/call.py list_pending '{"for":"dev-b"}'
+```
+
+`call.ts` is the same surface in TypeScript (`bun run tools/relay/call.ts ...`) for when you want to script from a TS context. Both shims speak raw MCP over the SSE transport; output is the JSON-RPC response.
+
+The kickoff prompts reference `call.py` by path — if the in-Claude MCP client breaks mid-session, the dev can fall back to `Bash python3 tools/relay/call.py ...` and keep coordinating without restarting.

+
+The launcher's prompt-discovery is `ls -t "$COORD_DIR"/*-<role>-prompt.md | head -1` — newest wins. To switch back to a previous kickoff set, either delete the newer files or move them under `archive/`.
+
+## Conventions
+
+- **Roles are fixed strings:** `pm`, `dev-a`, `dev-b`, `dev-c`. Adding a new role means editing `Role` in `queue.ts`, `KNOWN_ROLES`, the `enum` in `server.ts`'s tool schema, and the launcher.
+- **Worktree per dev:** each dev session works in its own git worktree on its own branch. Subagents must `cd` into the worktree first — the multi-agent-kickoff skill bakes this rule into the dev prompts (subagents have been known to commit to `main` if the worktree cwd is only set in a header).
+- **Branch naming follows the release train:** `feature/<release>-<dev>-<scope>`. PM owns the merge order; devs do not merge each other's branches.
+- **No squashing:** the project preserves git history as audit log (per `CLAUDE.md`). Devs commit small and often; PM coordinates rebases at integration time, not before.
+- **The user is not the router.** PM should issue directives directly to devs via the relay. The user steps in only for cross-stream design decisions or when PM explicitly escalates.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **"port 7331 is already in use"** — another relay is running. `kill $(lsof -ti:7331)`, then re-run `start.sh`.
+- **Launcher can't find a prompt** (`(none found)` in the printed paths) — `/multi-agent-kickoff` hasn't been run yet, or all generated prompts are under `archive/`. Re-run the skill.
+- **Dev session committing to `main` instead of its worktree** — its subagent prompts are missing the force-`cd` header. Regenerate the dev prompt via `/multi-agent-kickoff` (the skill bakes in the cd rule) or hand-edit the prompt to start with `cd <worktree-path>`.
+- **MCP tools don't show up in the Claude session** — restart the session. If it persists, fall back to `call.py`. If `call.py` also fails, check the relay log window for stack traces; the SSE transport sometimes wedges if a client disconnects ungracefully.
+- **`bun test` failing in `tools/relay/`** — relay tests use `node:test` via bun. Run from `tools/relay/`, not the repo root: `cd tools/relay && bun test`. Extension tests use vitest and live elsewhere; don't conflate.
+- **One dev session is silent** — check `python3 tools/relay/call.py list_pending '{"for":"<role>"}'` from any shell. If the dev's inbox has unread messages, they may have crashed or detached. Open the role's window and resume.
+
+## Caveats
+
+- **In-memory queue is dev-only.** Restart the relay = lose all queued messages. There is no persistence by design — coordination is meant to flow forward, not be replayable.
+- **No auth.** The relay binds to `localhost:7331` with no token. Don't expose the port; don't run on a shared machine.
+- **The relay is not a chat history.** `read_messages` drains the inbox. If you need to refer back to what was said, copy-paste into a session note or the PR description; don't expect the relay to remember.
+- **Context costs scale with session count.** Four parallel Claude sessions burn four context windows. Use this paradigm when the parallel speedup justifies the cost — for sequential work, one session is cheaper.

+# Dev A Kickoff Prompt — Architecture Review (Rust core)
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are a **senior reviewer** owning the Rust core review for Relicario's whole-codebase architecture audit (2026-05-04). You are one of three dev reviewers (A/B/C) reporting to a PM in another terminal. Your scope is `crates/relicario-core/` and its tests.
+
+The user wants to be able to **read and understand this codebase and learn by tinkering**, even though they don't know Rust. Your review lens is therefore *architectural clarity for a smart newcomer*, not just correctness. Naming, layering, comments at non-obvious boundaries, dead code, leaky abstractions, opportunities to simplify — all in scope.
+
+## Setup
+
+- Working directory: `/home/alee/Sources/relicario`
+- Stay on `main`. **Do not check out branches, do not create worktrees, do not modify code.** This is a review-only role.
+- Today: 2026-05-04. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply (Spanish flourish in replies, capitalization rules, autonomy defaults, never run git-destructive commands without asking).
+- The working tree has uncommitted changes (manifest bumps, vault tweaks, relay tooling). Run `git status` once for awareness; otherwise review HEAD as the canonical state. Flag anything weird about the uncommitted state in your notes if it suggests an in-flight architectural issue.
+
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; your `from` is always `"dev-a"`
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="dev-a"` before each task
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm, dev-a, dev-b, dev-c`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. Before starting each pass: `read_messages(for="dev-a")`. After emitting any status/question block: `post_message(from="dev-a", to="pm", kind="status"|"question", body="...")`.
+
+**Fallback:** If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session (the relay server was not running when your session opened), use the Python shim:
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario/tools/relay
+python3 call.py post_message '{"from":"dev-a","to":"pm","kind":"status","body":"..."}'
+python3 call.py read_messages '{"for":"dev-a"}'
+```
+
+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules
+2. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-11-relicario-design.md` — the foundational spec (threat model, crypto pipeline, format)
+3. `crates/relicario-core/src/lib.rs` — public API surface
+4. Then walk every file in `crates/relicario-core/src/` and `crates/relicario-core/tests/` deliberately. The point is depth, not coverage rate.
+
+You are NOT required to read the other crates (DEV-B owns them) or the extension (DEV-C owns it). If something in core only makes sense by looking at how it's consumed, file a `## QUESTION TO PM` rather than crossing the boundary.
+
+## Your scope and boundaries
+
+**In scope:**
+- `crates/relicario-core/src/*.rs` — every file
+- `crates/relicario-core/tests/*.rs` — integration tests
+- `crates/relicario-core/Cargo.toml` — dependencies and features
+
+**Out of scope (other reviewers' territory):**
+- `crates/relicario-cli/`, `crates/relicario-server/`, `crates/relicario-wasm/` — DEV-B
+- `extension/`, `tools/relay/` — DEV-C
+- `docs/` outside the spec link above
+
+**Hard rules:**
+- **No code changes.** Not even trivial doc-comment fixes. Surface in your notes; the user decides what to act on after PM synthesis.
+- No git commits, no branch creation, no destructive ops.
+- If you spend more than ~30 minutes on one file, post a status update with what you've found so far and move on. Cover the whole core, then return for depth.
+
+## What to look for (review lens)
+
+Walk every file in `crates/relicario-core/src/` and assess:
+
+1. **Architectural clarity for a Rust newcomer.** Would a smart person who knows another language be able to follow this? Where are the surprise idioms, the silent assumptions, the "you have to know Rust to read this" cliffs?
+2. **Naming.** Are types, functions, fields named for what they mean? Any cryptic two-letter abbreviations? Names that lie about what they do?
+3. **Layering.** Is `relicario-core` actually platform-agnostic (no fs, no net, no git)? Any leaks? Any types that pretend to be pure data but hide I/O?
+4. **API ergonomics.** Are public types easy to construct and consume? Any footguns (e.g. easy-to-misuse nonces, builders that compile but corrupt)? Are errors descriptive?
+5. **Crypto correctness invariants.** Argon2id params, XChaCha20-Poly1305 nonce uniqueness, key zeroization, AAD usage, version/format gates. Are these enforced by types or by convention? If by convention, is that convention obvious?
+6. **DCT steganography (`imgsecret.rs`).** This is the most magical file. Does it have enough explanation for a reader to map code to spec section?
+7. **Comments.** Where there ARE comments, do they explain *why* (good) or *what* (rot)? Where they're missing, is it because the code is self-explanatory, or because nobody got around to it?
+8. **Tests.** Do they cover happy path AND format/crypto edge cases? Are test helpers well-named? Any dead test cases?
+9. **Dead code, unused features, abandoned experiments.** Use `cargo clippy -p relicario-core` and `cargo +nightly udeps -p relicario-core 2>/dev/null || true` if you have time, but mostly: just notice things.
+10. **Simplification opportunities.** Three similar lines is better than premature abstraction; but six similar match arms might want a helper. Note candidates; don't insist.
+
+You may run `cargo build -p relicario-core`, `cargo test -p relicario-core`, `cargo clippy -p relicario-core` to confirm assumptions, but the review is not gated on green — it's gated on understanding.
+
+## Output
+
+Write your findings to `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-a-notes.md`. Create the `reviews/` directory with `mkdir -p` if it doesn't exist.
+
+Structure:
+
+```markdown
+# DEV-A Architecture Review Notes — Rust Core
+
+## Summary
+3-5 sentences: what's the overall architectural shape, what's the strongest part, what's the weakest part.
+
+## Findings (prioritized: P1 = address before more code lands, P2 = soon, P3 = nice-to-have)
+
+### P1 — <short title>
+**File(s):** `crates/relicario-core/src/foo.rs:123`
+**Observation:** <what you saw>
+**Why it matters:** <especially for a Rust newcomer reading the code>
+**Suggested direction:** <one or two sentences; do NOT rewrite — just point>
+
+(repeat for each finding, P1 first, then P2, then P3)
+
+## File-by-file walk (one paragraph each)
+For every file in core, a paragraph: what it does, what's clear, what's not. Brief is fine — this is the appendix.
+
+## Beginner-friendliness assessment
+A paragraph: how readable is this crate for a competent dev who has never written Rust? What single change would help most?
+```
+
+The PM will synthesize your notes (plus DEV-B's and DEV-C's) into the final review doc.
+
+## Coordination protocol
+
+**Before each major pass** (e.g. starting file walk, switching to findings write-up): call `read_messages(for="dev-a")`.
+
+**Status update format** (post via `post_message(from="dev-a", to="pm", kind="status", body="...")`, also print here):

+# Dev B Kickoff Prompt — Architecture Review (Rust consumers: CLI, server, WASM)
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are a **senior reviewer** owning the Rust consumer-layer review for Relicario's whole-codebase architecture audit (2026-05-04). You are one of three dev reviewers (A/B/C) reporting to a PM in another terminal. Your scope is the three Rust crates that consume `relicario-core`: `relicario-cli`, `relicario-server`, and `relicario-wasm`.
+
+The user wants to be able to **read and understand this codebase and learn by tinkering**, even though they don't know Rust. Your review lens is therefore *architectural clarity for a smart newcomer*, not just correctness. Naming, layering, where business logic actually lives, comments at non-obvious boundaries, dead code, leaky abstractions, opportunities to simplify — all in scope.
+
+## Setup
+
+- Working directory: `/home/alee/Sources/relicario`
+- Stay on `main`. **Do not check out branches, do not create worktrees, do not modify code.** This is a review-only role.
+- Today: 2026-05-04. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply (Spanish flourish in replies, capitalization rules, autonomy defaults, never run git-destructive commands without asking).
+- The working tree has uncommitted changes (manifest bumps, vault tweaks, relay tooling). Run `git status` once for awareness; otherwise review HEAD as the canonical state. Flag anything weird about the uncommitted state in your notes if it suggests an in-flight architectural issue.
+
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; your `from` is always `"dev-b"`
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="dev-b"` before each task
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm, dev-a, dev-b, dev-c`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. Before starting each pass: `read_messages(for="dev-b")`. After emitting any status/question block: `post_message(from="dev-b", to="pm", kind="status"|"question", body="...")`.
+
+**Fallback:** If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session, use the Python shim:
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario/tools/relay
+python3 call.py post_message '{"from":"dev-b","to":"pm","kind":"status","body":"..."}'
+python3 call.py read_messages '{"for":"dev-b"}'
+```
+
+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules
+2. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-11-relicario-design.md` — the foundational spec
+3. `crates/relicario-core/src/lib.rs` — **just** the public API surface (you do NOT review core; that's DEV-A — but you must understand what your crates depend on)
+4. Then walk each consumer crate deliberately:
+   - `crates/relicario-cli/src/main.rs` then the rest of `crates/relicario-cli/src/` and `crates/relicario-cli/tests/`
+   - `crates/relicario-server/src/main.rs` and `crates/relicario-server/tests/`
+   - `crates/relicario-wasm/src/lib.rs` then `crates/relicario-wasm/src/`
+
+You are NOT required to read deeply into `relicario-core` internals (DEV-A owns them) or the extension TypeScript (DEV-C owns it). The WASM crate is your boundary with DEV-C; review it from the Rust side, and trust DEV-C to review it from the JS side.
+
+## Your scope and boundaries
+
+**In scope:**
+- `crates/relicario-cli/` — entire crate (src + tests + Cargo.toml)
+- `crates/relicario-server/` — entire crate
+- `crates/relicario-wasm/` — entire crate
+
+**Out of scope (other reviewers' territory):**
+- `crates/relicario-core/` internals — DEV-A
+- `extension/`, `tools/relay/` — DEV-C
+- `docs/` outside the spec link above
+
+**Hard rules:**
+- **No code changes.** Not even trivial. Surface in notes.
+- No git commits, no branch creation, no destructive ops.
+- If you spot a core-internal issue while you're poking at it, file a `## QUESTION TO PM` so DEV-A can be alerted; don't expand your own scope.
+
+## What to look for (review lens)
+
+For each crate, assess:
+
+### relicario-cli (the user-facing binary)
+
+1. **Command surface.** Does the clap structure match the spec's intended UX? Are subcommand names and flags discoverable? Any flags that exist but don't do what their name suggests?
+2. **Where business logic lives.** `relicario-core` should be doing the work; the CLI should be glue (parse args → call core → format output). Any place where the CLI has logic that should be in core?
+3. **Session handling.** `session.rs` holds `UnlockedVault` with the master key in `Zeroizing`. Are session lifetimes clear? Any path where the key outlives its window?
+4. **Filesystem and git.** The CLI is the only place that touches fs and shells out to git. Is `helpers.rs` doing this cleanly? Any path-handling bugs? Any place where `git_command` is invoked with insufficient error mapping?
+5. **Tests.** Integration tests under `crates/relicario-cli/tests/` — do they test the CLI surface or just re-test core? Are fixtures synthetic (per project convention)? Any mocked filesystem leaks?
+6. **Error UX.** When something goes wrong, does the user get a useful message, or does a `RelicarioError` get printed raw?
+
+### relicario-server (Git pre-receive hook)
+
+1. **Surface.** Two subcommands (`verify-commit`, `generate-hook`). Is the contract with Git clear? Does `generate-hook` produce a hook that's actually correct?
+2. **Trust model.** This is the only piece that runs server-side. Does it correctly enforce "the server only sees opaque ciphertext" — i.e. it never tries to decrypt, only verifies signatures/format?
+3. **Failure modes.** What happens if a malformed commit lands? Are rejections actionable for the pushing client?
+
+### relicario-wasm (extension bridge)
+
+1. **JS surface.** What does `#[wasm_bindgen]` actually expose? Is the API minimal and well-typed (`SessionHandle` opaque), or does it leak Rust internals?
+2. **Session handle pattern.** `SessionHandle` → `Zeroizing<[u8;32]>` indirection. Is the lifetime story sound? What happens when JS drops the handle?
+3. **Error mapping.** Rust errors → JS exceptions. Are messages useful on the JS side, or do they just say "internal error"?
+4. **Build target.** Does `cargo build -p relicario-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown` succeed clean? Any feature flags that look gnarly?
+5. **Boundary with DEV-C.** What does the TS side need to know that isn't documented in the WASM crate? Note these for DEV-C cross-reference.
+
+### Cross-cutting (all three crates)
+
+1. **Naming.** Same questions as DEV-A.
+2. **Comments.** Same.
+3. **Layering.** Does each crate import only what it should? Any place where a consumer crate is reaching past `relicario-core`'s public API?
+4. **Dead code, abandoned features.** Notice things.
+5. **Simplification.** Where would a Rust newcomer trip? What's the single change that would help most?
+
+You may run `cargo build`, `cargo test -p relicario-cli`, `cargo test -p relicario-server`, `cargo build -p relicario-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown`, `cargo clippy --workspace`. The review is not gated on green; it's gated on understanding.

+
+Write your findings to `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-b-notes.md`. Create the `reviews/` directory with `mkdir -p` if it doesn't exist.

+# Dev C Kickoff Prompt — Architecture Review (TypeScript: extension + relay tooling)
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are a **senior reviewer** owning the TypeScript review for Relicario's whole-codebase architecture audit (2026-05-04). You are one of three dev reviewers (A/B/C) reporting to a PM in another terminal. Your scope is the browser extension (`extension/`) and the dev tooling (`tools/relay/`).
+
+The user wants to be able to **read and understand this codebase and learn by tinkering**, including the parts they're more comfortable with (TS). Your review lens is therefore *architectural clarity*, with extra attention to:
+- Parity with the CLI (per project memory: CLI/extension parity is a design philosophy — never ship "CLI first, extension follow-up")
+- The popup ↔ service-worker ↔ content script boundary
+- The WASM bridge from the JS side
+- Naming, layering, dead code, simplification opportunities
+
+## Setup
+
+- Working directory: `/home/alee/Sources/relicario`
+- Stay on `main`. **Do not check out branches, do not create worktrees, do not modify code.** This is a review-only role.
+- Today: 2026-05-04. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply (Spanish flourish in replies, capitalization, autonomy defaults, never run git-destructive commands without asking).
+- The working tree has uncommitted changes — note especially: `extension/manifest.json`, `extension/manifest.firefox.json`, `extension/package*.json`, `extension/src/shared/glyphs.ts` and `__tests__/glyphs.test.ts`, `extension/src/vault/vault.css`, `extension/src/vault/vault.ts`, `tools/relay/queue.ts`, `tools/relay/server.ts`, plus untracked `tools/relay/call.py`, `tools/relay/call.ts`, `.gitea_env_vars`. Run `git status` and `git diff` once. Decide whether the uncommitted diff is "in flight, ignore for review" or "already part of the architecture and worth flagging" — note your call in the notes file.
+
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. Note that you are reviewing this server itself — but for coordination, you still use it. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; your `from` is always `"dev-c"`
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="dev-c"` before each task
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm, dev-a, dev-b, dev-c`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. Before starting each pass: `read_messages(for="dev-c")`. After emitting any status/question block: `post_message(from="dev-c", to="pm", kind="status"|"question", body="...")`.
+
+**Fallback:** If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session, use the Python shim:
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario/tools/relay
+python3 call.py post_message '{"from":"dev-c","to":"pm","kind":"status","body":"..."}'
+python3 call.py read_messages '{"for":"dev-c"}'
+```
+
+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules (note especially the CLI/extension parity rule)
+2. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-11-relicario-design.md` — foundational spec (skim, focus on the parts that touch the extension)
+3. `extension/package.json`, `extension/manifest.json`, `extension/manifest.firefox.json` — extension shape
+4. `extension/src/wasm.d.ts` and `extension/src/__stubs__/relicario_wasm.stub.ts` — your WASM boundary
+5. Then walk in this order:
+   - `extension/src/service-worker/` (the trusted core of the extension)
+   - `extension/src/shared/` (shared utilities)
+   - `extension/src/popup/` (popup UI)
+   - `extension/src/vault/` (full-tab vault UI)
+   - `extension/src/content/` (content scripts: detector, fill, capture)
+   - `extension/src/setup/` (setup wizard)
+   - `tools/relay/` (the dev-only message bus, separate concern)
+
+You are NOT required to read deeply into the Rust crates — DEV-A owns core, DEV-B owns CLI/server/WASM. From your side, you only need to understand the WASM JS surface that the extension consumes.
+
+## Your scope and boundaries
+
+**In scope:**
+- `extension/` — entire tree (excluding `node_modules/` and built artifacts)
+- `tools/relay/` — entire tree (excluding `node_modules/`)
+- The WASM JS surface as consumed from TS (`wasm.d.ts`, the stub, every call site)
+
+**Out of scope (other reviewers' territory):**
+- `crates/relicario-core/` internals — DEV-A
+- `crates/relicario-cli/`, `crates/relicario-server/`, `crates/relicario-wasm/` Rust internals — DEV-B
+- `docs/` outside the spec link above
+
+**Hard rules:**
+- **No code changes.** Not even trivial. Surface in notes.
+- No git commits, no branch creation, no destructive ops.
+- If you find a Rust-side issue while looking at the WASM boundary, file a `## QUESTION TO PM` so DEV-B can be alerted; don't expand scope.
+
+## What to look for (review lens)
+
+### Extension architecture
+
+1. **Layering — popup vs service-worker vs content vs vault tab.** Each has a clear role; are the lines clean? Any place where popup is doing trusted work that should live in the service-worker, or vice versa? Any direct WASM calls in content scripts (a security smell)?
+2. **Message-passing.** `extension/src/shared/messages.ts` and the service-worker router — is the typing tight? Are there messages that exist but are never sent, or sent but never handled?
+3. **WASM session handle.** The session handle is a number (an opaque pointer into the Rust session map). Where does it live? Who creates it, who drops it? Is the locked/unlocked state machine obvious from the code?
+4. **CLI/extension parity.** Walk through the CLI's commands (skim `crates/relicario-cli/src/main.rs` for the surface only) and check: for every CLI capability, does the extension have an equivalent UI path? If not, is that a deliberate choice or an oversight? This is a project-philosophy lens — flag any gap as a P1 architectural issue.
+5. **Component organization.** `extension/src/popup/components/` has settings, item-form, item-list, fields, generator-panel, etc. Are component boundaries clean? Any teardown leaks (the project has had teardown bugs before — see commit `ddfb95d` and `8baef5b`)?
+6. **Storage and state.** What lives in `chrome.storage.local`? In `chrome.storage.session`? Any sensitive data persisted that shouldn't be? Any cleartext secrets in DOM that survive teardown?
+7. **Settings architecture.** v0.5.1 just landed a unified left-nav settings (commit `bd6a301`). Is the new structure clean, or are there leftover bits from the old structure?
+
+### Vault tab vs popup
+
+8. **Two render targets, one component.** Settings (and possibly other components) render into both the popup and the vault tab. Is the rendering target abstracted, or are there `if (in popup)` branches? Note any pattern that breaks down.
+9. **Vault tab session timeout.** There's been work on this (per project memory). Is the session-timer logic in `service-worker/session-timer.ts` legible?
+
+### Shared utilities
+
+10. **`shared/types.ts`, `shared/messages.ts`, `shared/state.ts`.** Are these doing what their names suggest? Any `any`-leaking? Any types that should be generated from the WASM bindings instead of hand-maintained?
+11. **`shared/glyphs.ts`.** Per project rules, no inline emoji — all UI glyphs go through this. Is the abstraction tight? (Recent uncommitted edits here — note your read.)
+
+### Relay tooling (`tools/relay/`)
+
+12. **Single-purpose dev tool.** It's the message bus you're using right now. Is it appropriately isolated from the rest of the codebase (no cross-imports, separate package.json)? Is the role enum (`pm`, `dev-a`, `dev-b`, `dev-c`) maintained in lockstep across `queue.ts`, `server.ts`, and any client (`call.py`, `call.ts`)?
+13. **Untracked `call.py` and `call.ts`.** What are these for? Are they the documented fallback shims? Should they be tracked?
+
+### Cross-cutting
+
+14. **Naming.** Are TS names crisp? Any that lie about behavior?
+15. **Dead code.** `bun run build` cleanly? Any imports unused? Any components rendered nowhere?
+16. **Simplification.** Where would a beginner trip? What's the single change that would help most?
+17. **Tests.** `extension/src/**/__tests__/*.test.ts` — meaningful coverage, or smoke-only?
+
+You may run `bun run build`, `bun run build:firefox`, `bun run test`, `cd tools/relay && bun test`, `bun run lint` if available. Review is not gated on green; it's gated on understanding.

+You are a **senior developer** owning Stream A for the Relicario architecture-review-followup work. Stream A is the small, security-flavored quick-win PR that goes first: SessionHandle Drop semantics, the matching JS-side audit, recovery_qr.rs documentation density, and the relay launcher fix for the dev-c fourth window. Goal is **under-a-day, all-S effort, ships first**.
+
+A PM in another terminal coordinates you with two other senior devs. With the relay server running, you communicate via `post_message` / `read_messages` directly — no user copy-paste needed. **Your plan does not exist yet.** The PM is drafting it as their first action. Set up your worktree, post acknowledgement, and wait for the PM's `PROCEED` directive containing the plan path before starting Task 1.
+
+## Setup (do this first)
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario
+git fetch
+git worktree add /home/alee/Sources/relicario.arch-followup-stream-a -b feature/arch-followup-stream-a-security-polish
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.arch-followup-stream-a
+pwd  # should print /home/alee/Sources/relicario.arch-followup-stream-a
+```
+
+**Note on `git pull`:** main has uncommitted polish changes from in-flight post-v0.5.1 work. The setup above branches from local main HEAD without pulling, which is intentional. If `git fetch` reveals new upstream commits, surface them to the PM before incorporating.
+
+**ALL subsequent work happens in `/home/alee/Sources/relicario.arch-followup-stream-a`**. Every subagent prompt MUST begin with `cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.arch-followup-stream-a` (project memory rule — without the force-cd, subagents may commit to main).
+
+Today: 2026-05-04. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply (Spanish flourish in replies, capitalize "Relicario", default to "yes"/recommended, never run git-destructive commands without asking).
+
+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules
+2. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md` — synthesis (your scope is **P1.1, the JS free-swallow fix, P1.7, P1.8 only**)
+3. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-a-notes.md` — full DEV-A reviewer notes (Rust core; covers recovery_qr.rs context)
+4. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-b-notes.md` — full DEV-B reviewer notes (covers SessionHandle context on the WASM side)
+5. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-c-notes.md` — full DEV-C reviewer notes (covers the JS free-swallow + start.sh launcher context)
+6. **Your plan (will land at):** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-security-polish-design.md` — read once the PM directs you to PROCEED
+
+## Execution mode
+
+Use **superpowers:subagent-driven-development**. Fresh subagent per task, two-stage review between tasks. Every subagent prompt MUST start with:
+```
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.arch-followup-stream-a
+```
+…before any other instruction. This is non-negotiable per project memory.
+
+## Your scope and boundaries
+
+**In scope:**
+- P1.1 — `impl Drop for SessionHandle` in `crates/relicario-wasm/src/lib.rs` (and `session.rs`); `wasm-bindgen-test` for construct → drop → confirm `SESSIONS` registry empty; audit every `.free()` callsite under `extension/src/` to confirm `wasm.lock(handle)` happens first regardless
+- JS partner fix at `extension/src/service-worker/session.ts:26` — remove the `try { current.free() }` swallow; let exceptions propagate or log + counter
+- P1.7 — `crates/relicario-core/src/recovery_qr.rs` documentation pass to match `crypto.rs` / `imgsecret.rs` / `backup.rs` / `tar_safe.rs` density
+- P1.8 — `tools/relay/start.sh:80` launcher fix for the dev-c fourth window (the queue.test.ts assertion is already fixed in `061facd`; only the launcher line remains)
+
+**Out of scope (other DEVs own these):**
+- P1.2, P1.3, P1.10 + the in-scope CLI P2s — DEV-B (Stream B)
+- P1.4, P1.5, P1.6, P1.9 + the in-scope extension P2s — DEV-C (Stream C)
+- Any other P2/P3 not listed in your plan
+- The 8 "Open architectural decisions" at the bottom of the synthesis — those are user-judgement calls
+
+If you trip over an out-of-scope issue or a new bug while doing your work, file a `## QUESTION TO PM` block and keep moving.
+
+**Hard rules:**
+- **P1.1 is defense-in-depth crypto.** The `wasm-bindgen-test` covering construct → drop → registry-empty is a required acceptance gate. Do not skip or weaken it.
+- **The `.free()` callsite audit is part of P1.1.** Every callsite under `extension/src/` must be checked to confirm `wasm.lock(handle)` is called before `.free()`. Document the audit results in the PR.
+- **Do not remove the JS free-swallow before `impl Drop` lands.** The order matters: Rust fix first (so `.free()` becomes meaningful cleanup), JS swallow removal second (so failures surface).
+- **`recovery_qr.rs` docs must match the existing core standard.** Multi-paragraph module-level `//!` rationale, ASCII diagram of the 109-byte layout, doc-comments on the four public functions, comment or `const` for the `production_params()` divergence. Read `crypto.rs` and `backup.rs` first to absorb the tone.
+- **Test-only Argon2id params stay fast** (m=256, t=1, p=1) per project convention.
+- Synthetic JPEG fixtures only — no binary blobs in the test suite (project rule).
+- Do not merge your branch to main. The PM owns merges.
+- Do not push `--force` or run `git reset --hard`. Per `CLAUDE.md`: ask first.
+
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; your `from` is always `"dev-a"`
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="dev-a"` before each task
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm, dev-a, dev-b, dev-c`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. Before starting each task: `read_messages(for="dev-a")`. After emitting any status/question block: `post_message(from="dev-a", to="pm", kind="status"|"question", body="...")`.
+
+**Fallback:** If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session, use the Python shim:
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario/tools/relay
+python3 call.py post_message '{"from":"dev-a","to":"pm","kind":"status","body":"..."}'
+python3 call.py read_messages '{"for":"dev-a"}'
+```
+
+## Coordination protocol
+
+You are one of four terminals. Before starting each task, call `read_messages(for="dev-a")` to drain your inbox.
+
+When posting a status update, call `post_message(from="dev-a", to="pm", kind="status", body="...")` with the body:
+
+```
+## STATUS UPDATE — DEV-A
+Time: <iso8601 like 2026-05-04T14:30:00-07:00>
+Branch: feature/arch-followup-stream-a-security-polish
+Task: <number / short name>
+Status: STARTED | IN-PROGRESS | DONE | BLOCKED | REVIEW-READY
+Last commit: <short sha + first line of message>
+Tests: <green | red (which failed) | N/A>
+Notes: <anything PM needs to know — keep to 3 sentences max>
+```
+
+**When you need PM input mid-task:**
+```
+## QUESTION TO PM — DEV-A
+Time: <iso8601>
+Context: <what task, what decision point>
+Options: <A: ... / B: ... / C: ...>
+Recommended: <your pick + one-sentence rationale>
+Blocker: yes | no
+```
+
+**You'll receive:** `## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-A` blocks from the PM. The first one will say `Action: PROCEED` with the plan path once the PM has drafted it. Acknowledge and start Task 1.
+
+## Authority within the plan
+
+You don't need PM permission to:
+- Execute task-to-task per the plan once you have it
+- Make implementation decisions consistent with the plan and synthesis
+- Write tests, refactor your own code, fix bugs you introduce
+- Push commits to your feature branch
+
+You **do** escalate to PM when:
+- A scope question outside the plan
+- A test you can't make green after honest debugging (don't fudge — debug)
+- A discovered bug not in your plan
+- Anything destructive (per CLAUDE.md)
+- Before opening the PR for review
+
+## Final steps before REVIEW-READY
+
+Run the project's full validation:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.arch-followup-stream-a
+cargo test
+cargo build -p relicario-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown
+cd extension && bun run test && bun run build && cd ..
+cd tools/relay && bun test && cd ../..
+```
+
+All four must be green. The wasm-bindgen-test for SessionHandle Drop is the headline acceptance.
+
+Then push and open the PR:
+
+```bash
+git push -u origin feature/arch-followup-stream-a-security-polish
+gh pr create --base main --head feature/arch-followup-stream-a-security-polish \
+  --title "fix(security/docs): SessionHandle Drop + free-swallow + recovery_qr docs + dev-c launcher (Stream A)" \
+  --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
+## Summary
+
+Stream A of the architecture-review-followup. Small security-flavored polish PR addressing four findings from the 2026-05-04 audit:
+
+- **P1.1** — `impl Drop for SessionHandle` so `.free()` becomes a real cleanup safety net (Rust fix); `wasm-bindgen-test` for construct → drop → registry empty; audit of every `.free()` callsite under `extension/src/`
+- **JS free-swallow** — removed `try { current.free() }` at `extension/src/service-worker/session.ts:26` so failures propagate
+- **P1.7** — `crates/relicario-core/src/recovery_qr.rs` brought up to the documentation density of `crypto.rs` / `backup.rs` / `tar_safe.rs`
+- **P1.8** — `tools/relay/start.sh:80` launcher fix for the dev-c fourth window
+
+## Synthesis references

+# Dev B Kickoff Prompt — Architecture Review Followup, Stream B (CLI Restructure)
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use `superpowers:subagent-driven-development` (recommended) or `superpowers:executing-plans` to implement the plan task-by-task once it lands.
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are a **senior developer** owning Stream B for the Relicario architecture-review-followup work. Stream B is the **single biggest readability lift** in the bundle (per the synthesis): split the 2641-LOC `crates/relicario-cli/src/main.rs` into a `commands/` folder, centralize the duplicated git-shell error UX, migrate three pure parsers to `relicario-core`, and pick up four in-scope CLI P2s. Multi-day, M-L effort.

+```
+…before any other instruction. This is non-negotiable per project memory.
+
+## Your scope and boundaries
+
+**In scope:**
+- P1.2 — split `crates/relicario-cli/src/main.rs` (2641 LOC) into:
+  - `commands/{add,get,list,edit,trash,backup,import,attach,settings,sync,status,device,recovery_qr}.rs`
+  - `prompt.rs` (six `prompt_*` helpers + `prompt_secret`)
+  - `parse.rs` (the three pure parsers, before they migrate to core)
+  - `main.rs` keeps clap definitions + dispatcher (~470 lines)
+- P1.3 — add `helpers::git_run(repo: &Path, args: &[&str], context: &str)` using `.output()` to capture stderr; print captured stderr unmodified on failure; embed a human-readable `context` ("commit add: GitHub", "register device", "purge trashed item"). Sweep ~16 duplicated bail sites listed in the synthesis (`main.rs:601, 602, 610, 986, 988, 1477, 1480, 1767, 1897, 1900, 2432, 2438, 2533, 2540` and others).
+- P1.10 — migrate to `relicario-core`:
+  - `parse_month_year` (already partial in `time.rs`)
+  - `base32_decode_lenient` (rename / fold into a new `pub(crate) mod base32` with `encode_rfc4648` / `decode_rfc4648`; keep Steam's bespoke alphabet untouched in `item_types/totp.rs`)
+  - `guess_mime` → `mime::guess_for_extension`
+  - Re-export the new functions through `relicario-wasm` via `#[wasm_bindgen]` so the extension can consume them in a future round
+  - CLI keeps thin wrappers as needed
+- In-scope CLI P2s:
+  - `build_*_item` helper compression (`main.rs:664-921`) with a `prompt_or_flag<T>` helper
+  - `refresh_groups_cache` discipline via `Vault::after_manifest_change(&self, manifest: &Manifest)` (7 manual sites at `main.rs:641, 998, 1123, 1197, 1414, 1432, 1474`)
+  - `ParamsFile` dedup between `main.rs:2287` (write side, has `aead`/`salt_path`/`format_version`) and `session.rs:114` (read side, only `kdf`)
+  - Batched purge in `cmd_purge` and `cmd_trash_empty` (`main.rs:1476-1480, 1896-1900`) — currently 50-item purge does 150 git invocations
+
+**Out of scope (other DEVs own these):**
+- P1.1, JS free-swallow, P1.7, P1.8 — DEV-A (Stream A)
+- P1.4, P1.5, P1.6, P1.9 + the in-scope extension P2s — DEV-C (Stream C)
+- Any other P2/P3 not listed in your plan
+- WASM JS-naming snake_case → camelCase rename (DEV-B/DEV-C P3) — explicitly deferred to a separate decision
+- Server hardening items from DEV-B's P2 (generate-hook PATH, bootstrap permissiveness, stdin parsing, test gaps) — explicitly deferred
+- Any of the 8 "Open architectural decisions" at the bottom of the synthesis
+
+If you trip over an out-of-scope issue or a new bug while doing your work, file a `## QUESTION TO PM` block and keep moving.
+
+**Hard rules:**
+- **The P1.2 main.rs split MUST land first.** Every other phase in your plan touches files that don't exist yet until the split happens. Do not interleave.
+- **The split is purely structural — no behavior changes.** Run `cargo test -p relicario-cli` before AND after the split commits to prove parity. Any behavior delta is a bug.
+- **Keep the helper module visibility tight.** `commands/` modules are `pub(crate)` only; `main.rs` dispatches into them.
+- **`helpers::git_run` signature** is `(repo: &Path, args: &[&str], context: &str)` and it captures stderr. The old `git_command` may stay temporarily during the sweep, but Phase B-N (sweep) deletes it.
+- **`base32` extraction** must keep Steam's bespoke alphabet untouched at `item_types/totp.rs`. Add a neighbour comment pointing to the new core module and explaining why Steam stays separate.
+- **WASM re-exports use snake_case** in JS for now (`#[wasm_bindgen]` defaults). Do not rename to camelCase — that's a separate decision (DEV-B/DEV-C P3 at the bottom of the synthesis).
+- **Test-only Argon2id params stay fast** (m=256, t=1, p=1) per project convention.
+- **No binary test fixtures.** Synthetic JPEGs only via `make_test_jpeg()`.
+- **Git history is preserved.** No squash merges (project rule).
+- Do not merge your branch to main. The PM owns merges.
+- Do not push `--force` or run `git reset --hard`. Per `CLAUDE.md`: ask first.
+
+## Coordination with Stream C
+
+Your parser→core migration produces new `relicario-core` functions and re-exports them through `relicario-wasm`. Stream C does NOT need to consume these in this round. Document the new WASM surface in your PR body so a future round can pick it up. If you discover a parser signature change that would break the future extension consumer, raise it via `## QUESTION TO PM` before committing.
+
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; your `from` is always `"dev-b"`
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="dev-b"` before each task
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm, dev-a, dev-b, dev-c`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. Before starting each task: `read_messages(for="dev-b")`. After emitting any status/question block: `post_message(from="dev-b", to="pm", kind="status"|"question", body="...")`.
+
+**Fallback:** If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session, use the Python shim:

+
+## Final steps before REVIEW-READY
+
+Run the project's full validation:

+cargo run -p relicario-cli -- --help
+cargo run -p relicario-cli -- generate --length 32
+```
+
+All must be green. The CLI integration suite covers the surface area touched by the split + git_run sweep; pay particular attention to `basic_flows` and `edit_and_history` for regression coverage.
+
+Then push and open the PR:
+
+```bash
+git push -u origin feature/arch-followup-stream-b-cli-restructure

+  --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
+## Summary
+
+Stream B of the architecture-review-followup. The single biggest readability lift in the bundle:
+
+- **P1.2** — `crates/relicario-cli/src/main.rs` (2641 LOC) split into `commands/{add,get,list,edit,trash,backup,import,attach,settings,sync,status,device,recovery_qr}.rs` + `prompt.rs` + `parse.rs`. `main.rs` keeps clap definitions + dispatcher.
+- **P1.3** — `helpers::git_run(repo, args, context)` with stderr capture; ~16 duplicated bail sites swept.
+- **P1.10** — `parse_month_year`, `base32_decode_lenient` (folded into a new `relicario_core::base32` module alongside DEV-A's P2 dedup), `guess_mime` migrated to `relicario-core`. Re-exported through `relicario-wasm` via `#[wasm_bindgen]` for future extension consumption.
+- **CLI P2 cluster** — `build_*_item` helper compression, `Vault::after_manifest_change`, `ParamsFile` dedup, batched purge.
+
+## Synthesis references
+
+- `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md` — P1.2, P1.3, P1.10 + DEV-B's CLI P2 cluster + DEV-A's base32 dedup
+- `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md` — Plan B
+
+## New WASM surface (for future Stream C consumption)
+
+The extension does NOT consume these in this round. A future plan should wire them up via `wasm.d.ts` regeneration:
+- `parse_month_year` — for QR-import / smart-input flows
+- `base32_encode_rfc4648` / `base32_decode_rfc4648` — for TOTP / future QR work
+- `guess_mime_for_extension` — for attachment MIME detection

+# Dev C Kickoff Prompt — Architecture Review Followup, Stream C (Extension Restructure)
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use `superpowers:subagent-driven-development` (recommended) or `superpowers:executing-plans` to implement the plan task-by-task once it lands.
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are a **senior developer** owning Stream C for the Relicario architecture-review-followup work. Stream C is the **largest plan in the bundle** (multi-day to multi-week): turn `setup.ts` into a UI that posts SW messages instead of orchestrating WASM directly, split `vault.ts` into focused modules, give `shared/state.ts` a real type contract, deduplicate the SW router helpers, and pick up the in-scope extension P2 cluster.
+
+A PM in another terminal coordinates you with two other senior devs. With the relay server running, you communicate via `post_message` / `read_messages` directly. **Your plan does not exist yet.** The PM is drafting it as their first action. Set up your worktree, post acknowledgement, and wait for the PM's `PROCEED` directive containing the plan path before starting Task 1.
+
+## Setup (do this first)
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario
+git fetch
+git worktree add /home/alee/Sources/relicario.arch-followup-stream-c -b feature/arch-followup-stream-c-extension-restructure
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.arch-followup-stream-c
+pwd  # should print /home/alee/Sources/relicario.arch-followup-stream-c
+```
+
+**Note on `git pull`:** main has uncommitted polish changes from in-flight post-v0.5.1 work, including edits to `extension/src/vault/vault.ts`, `vault.css`, and `shared/glyphs.ts` — files Stream C will touch heavily. **Surface this to the PM as a Question before starting Phase 1** so the user can choose to commit/stash the in-flight work, defer Stream C, or proceed and merge at PR time. The setup above branches from local main HEAD without pulling, so your worktree starts clean of those uncommitted edits.
+
+**ALL subsequent work happens in `/home/alee/Sources/relicario.arch-followup-stream-c`**. Every subagent prompt MUST begin with `cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.arch-followup-stream-c` (project memory rule — without the force-cd, subagents may commit to main).
+
+Today: 2026-05-04. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply (Spanish flourish in replies, capitalize "Relicario", default to "yes"/recommended, never run git-destructive commands without asking).
+
+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules
+2. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md` — synthesis (your scope is **P1.4, P1.5, P1.6, P1.9 + the in-scope extension P2 cluster only**)
+3. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-c-notes.md` — full DEV-C reviewer notes (your stream's primary source)
+4. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-b-notes.md` — read the **"Boundary notes for DEV-C"** section in particular (covers the parity-relevant cross-references, especially the new WASM surface that Plan B will produce)
+5. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-a-notes.md` — light skim for context only
+6. **Your plan (will land at):** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-extension-restructure-design.md` — read once the PM directs you to PROCEED
+
+## Execution mode
+
+Use **superpowers:subagent-driven-development**. Fresh subagent per task, two-stage review between tasks. Every subagent prompt MUST start with:
+```
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.arch-followup-stream-c
+```
+…before any other instruction. This is non-negotiable per project memory.
+
+## Your scope and boundaries
+
+**In scope:**
+- P1.4 — `extension/src/setup/setup.ts` (1220 LOC):
+  - Add `create_vault` and `attach_vault` SW messages to `service-worker/router/popup-only.ts` + the message-type union in `shared/messages.ts`
+  - Rewrite `setup.ts` as a UI that posts those messages with gathered config + image bytes (no direct `relicario-wasm` import)
+  - Convert the 6-step procedural wizard into a step-registry pattern: `Array<{ id: StepId; render: (host) => void; attach: (host) => () => void }>`
+  - `clearWizardState()` bound to `beforeunload` and to "return to step 0"
+  - Target ~500 LOC after the rewrite (down from 1220)
+- P1.5 — split `extension/src/vault/vault.ts` (1027 LOC) into:
+  - `vault-shell.ts` (init, hash routing)
+  - `vault-sidebar.ts` (sidebar render)
+  - `vault-list.ts` (list pane render)
+  - `vault-drawer.ts` (drawer state + render)
+  - `vault-form-wrapper.ts` (form integration)
+  - `vault.ts` keeps only routing + state coordination
+  - **Lift the `vault_locked` RPC intercept into `shared/state.ts`** (or a wrapper around `sendMessage`) so popup and vault tab use the same channel — closes the synthesis P2 about RPC vs `session_expired` event divergence
+  - Reset `state.drawerOpen` at the start of `renderPane` for non-list views
+- P1.6 — concrete `StateHost` interface in `extension/src/shared/state.ts`:
+  ```ts
+  interface StateHost {
+    state: PopupState;
+    navigate: (view: View) => void;
+    popOutToTab(): void;
+    isInTab(): boolean;
+    openVaultTab(hash?: string): void;
+  }
+  ```
+  - Make `getState`/`setState` generic over `keyof PopupState`
+  - Throw on `registerHost()` re-register
+  - Export `__resetHostForTests()` helper
+- P1.9 — extract from both router files:
+  - `loadDeviceSettings`, `loadBlacklist`, `saveBlacklist` → `extension/src/service-worker/storage.ts`
+  - `itemToManifestEntry` (17-line projection) → `extension/src/service-worker/vault.ts`
+  - Import from both `popup-only.ts` and `content-callable.ts`
+- In-scope extension P2 cluster:
+  - Inactivity-timer reset on content-callable messages (`service-worker/index.ts:76-78`)
+  - Null `state.gitHost` alongside `state.manifest` on session expiry (`service-worker/index.ts:51-58`)
+  - Teardown helper extraction: `settings.ts:56-65` and `settings-vault.ts:15-22` → `teardownSettingsCommon()`
+  - `Promise.allSettled` in `devices.ts:47-50` and `trash.ts:39-46`
+  - MutationObserver debounce in `content/detector.ts:96-103` (`requestIdleCallback` or 200ms timer)
+  - Vault-tab status indicator from new `get_vault_status` SW message returning `{ ahead, behind, lastSyncAt, pendingItems }` (closes the `relicario status` parity gap)
+
+**Out of scope (other DEVs own these):**
+- P1.1, JS free-swallow, P1.7, P1.8 — DEV-A (Stream A). **Note:** if A merges first, you'll inherit `impl Drop for SessionHandle`. That's expected and benign.
+- P1.2, P1.3, P1.10 + the in-scope CLI P2s — DEV-B (Stream B). The new WASM exports (`parse_month_year`, `base32_*`, `guess_mime_for_extension`) that Plan B produces are NOT consumed in this round. Document the future consumer in your plan's "Out of scope" section; a later round wires them up.
+- Other DEV-C P2/P3 not listed in your scope (e.g. shared-utilities response typing, group-autocomplete escaping, restore_backup payload extract, content-script `fillFields()` ack, content/icon outside-click leak) — explicitly deferred to a future round
+- Setup-wizard manifest path constants (`VAULT_PATHS`) — folds into your P1.4 work; if convenient include it, else defer
+- WASM JS-naming snake_case → camelCase rename — explicitly deferred
+- Any of the 8 "Open architectural decisions" at the bottom of the synthesis
+
+If you trip over an out-of-scope issue or a new bug while doing your work, file a `## QUESTION TO PM` block and keep moving.
+
+**Hard rules:**
+- **P1.6 (state.ts typing) MUST land first internally.** Both P1.4 and P1.5 push through the `StateHost` surface. Plan should call this out as Phase 1.
+- **`setup.ts` MUST stop importing `relicario-wasm` directly after P1.4.** This is the architectural invariant the synthesis is fixing. After P1.4, the only file in `extension/src/` that imports `relicario-wasm` should be the service worker.
+- **New SW message names are `create_vault` and `attach_vault`.** Use these exact names everywhere (`shared/messages.ts`, `service-worker/router/popup-only.ts`, `setup.ts`). The PM's coherence pass on the plans confirms naming consistency.
+- **`vault_locked` unification goes in `shared/state.ts`** (or a wrapper around `sendMessage`). Popup AND vault tab use the same channel after this lands. Two channels for one outcome was the synthesis observation.
+- **No emoji anywhere in `extension/src/`** (existing project rule from v0.5.1). If you see one while editing, replace with the monochrome glyph from `glyphs.ts`.
+- **`glyphs.ts` is single source of truth** for icon characters. No inline Unicode literals at call sites.
+- **Discriminated-union message contract is preserved.** New messages get added to `shared/messages.ts` and the appropriate capability set (`POPUP_ONLY_TYPES` or `CONTENT_CALLABLE_TYPES`). The boundary discipline holds.
+- **WASM remains snake_case in JS** — no `#[wasm_bindgen(js_name = ...)]` renaming. That's a separate decision (DEV-B/DEV-C P3).
+- **Test setup is vitest** for the extension (`extension/package.json: "test": "vitest run"`), `bun test` for `tools/relay/`. Do not change runners.
+- **Synthetic test fixtures only.** No binary blobs.
+- Do not merge your branch to main. The PM owns merges.
+- Do not push `--force` or run `git reset --hard`. Per `CLAUDE.md`: ask first.
+
+## Coordination with Stream B
+
+Stream B will produce new `relicario-wasm` exports (`parse_month_year`, `base32_*`, `guess_mime_for_extension`). You do NOT consume these in this round — your plan's "Out of scope" section should explicitly call this out and reference the future consumer (likely a smart-input / QR-import / attachment-MIME round). If Stream B's WASM signature for any of these would NOT match what the extension would naturally consume, raise a `## QUESTION TO PM` so it can be reconciled before Stream B merges.
+
+If Stream A merges first and you inherit `impl Drop for SessionHandle` plus the JS free-swallow removal: that's benign. Your `.free()` callsites should already be `wasm.lock(handle)` first per DEV-A's audit.
+
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; your `from` is always `"dev-c"`
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="dev-c"` before each task
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm, dev-a, dev-b, dev-c`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. Before starting each task: `read_messages(for="dev-c")`. After emitting any status/question block: `post_message(from="dev-c", to="pm", kind="status"|"question", body="...")`.
+
+**Fallback:** If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session, use the Python shim:
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario/tools/relay
+python3 call.py post_message '{"from":"dev-c","to":"pm","kind":"status","body":"..."}'
+python3 call.py read_messages '{"for":"dev-c"}'
+```
+
+## Coordination protocol
+
+You are one of four terminals. Before starting each task, call `read_messages(for="dev-c")` to drain your inbox.
+
+When posting a status update, call `post_message(from="dev-c", to="pm", kind="status", body="...")` with the body:
+
+```
+## STATUS UPDATE — DEV-C
+Time: <iso8601 like 2026-05-04T14:30:00-07:00>
+Branch: feature/arch-followup-stream-c-extension-restructure
+Task: <number / short name>
+Status: STARTED | IN-PROGRESS | DONE | BLOCKED | REVIEW-READY
+Last commit: <short sha + first line of message>
+Tests: <green | red (which failed) | N/A>
+Notes: <anything PM needs to know — keep to 3 sentences max>
+```
+
+**When you need PM input mid-task:**
+```
+## QUESTION TO PM — DEV-C
+Time: <iso8601>
+Context: <what task, what decision point>
+Options: <A: ... / B: ... / C: ...>
+Recommended: <your pick + one-sentence rationale>
+Blocker: yes | no
+```
+
+**You'll receive:** `## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-C` blocks from the PM. The first one will say `Action: PROCEED` with the plan path once the PM has drafted it. Acknowledge and start Task 1.
+
+## Authority within the plan
+
+You don't need PM permission to:
+- Execute task-to-task per the plan once you have it
+- Make implementation decisions consistent with the plan and synthesis
+- Write tests, refactor your own code, fix bugs you introduce
+- Push commits to your feature branch
+
+You **do** escalate to PM when:
+- A scope question outside the plan
+- A WASM signature mismatch with what Stream B is producing
+- A test you can't make green after honest debugging (don't fudge — debug)
+- A discovered bug not in your plan
+- The in-flight uncommitted changes on `vault.ts`/`vault.css`/`glyphs.ts` need resolution before a merge
+- Anything destructive (per CLAUDE.md)
+- Before opening the PR for review
+
+## Final steps before REVIEW-READY
+
+Run the project's full validation:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.arch-followup-stream-c
+cd extension
+bun run test
+bun run build
+bun run build:firefox
+cd ..
+cargo build -p relicario-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown
+```
+
+All must be green. Vitest covers the new `StateHost` typing, the message-router dedup, and the wizard step registry.
+
+Then sweep for emoji and in-flight collision:
+
+```bash
+grep -rn '\U0001F\|🔑\|📝\|🪪\|💳\|🗝\|📄\|⏱️\|🖥\|🔐\|📎' /home/alee/Sources/relicario.arch-followup-stream-c/extension/src/ 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+Expected: no output (project rule).
+
+Then push and open the PR:
+
+```bash
+git push -u origin feature/arch-followup-stream-c-extension-restructure
+gh pr create --base main --head feature/arch-followup-stream-c-extension-restructure \
+  --title "refactor(ext): setup-via-SW + vault.ts split + state.ts typing + SW router dedup (Stream C)" \
+  --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
+## Summary
+
+Stream C of the architecture-review-followup. The largest plan in the bundle — turns three "code lies about the architecture" surfaces into uniform readable modules:
+
+- **P1.4** — `extension/src/setup/setup.ts` no longer imports `relicario-wasm` directly. New `create_vault` / `attach_vault` SW messages do the crypto orchestration. The 6-step wizard is now a step registry. ~500 LOC down from 1220.
+- **P1.5** — `extension/src/vault/vault.ts` (1027 LOC) split into `vault-shell.ts` / `vault-sidebar.ts` / `vault-list.ts` / `vault-drawer.ts` / `vault-form-wrapper.ts`. `vault_locked` RPC intercept lifted into `shared/state.ts` so popup and vault tab share one channel.
+- **P1.6** — `extension/src/shared/state.ts` has a concrete `StateHost` interface; `getState`/`setState` are generic over `keyof PopupState`; double-registration guard + `__resetHostForTests` helper.
+- **P1.9** — duplicated SW router helpers extracted: `service-worker/storage.ts` for the three storage helpers, `service-worker/vault.ts` for `itemToManifestEntry`.
+- **Extension P2 cluster** — inactivity-timer reset on content-callable messages, `state.gitHost` clear on session expiry, `teardownSettingsCommon()`, `Promise.allSettled` in devices/trash, MutationObserver debounce in content/detector, vault-tab status indicator (closes `relicario status` parity gap).
+
+## Synthesis references
+
+- `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md` — P1.4, P1.5, P1.6, P1.9 + DEV-C's extension P2 cluster
+- `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-extension-restructure-design.md` — Plan C
+
+## Future-round consumer (NOT in this PR)
+
+Plan B produces new `relicario-wasm` exports (`parse_month_year`, `base32_*`, `guess_mime_for_extension`). A later round will wire them up via `wasm.d.ts` regeneration and add SW message handlers. Out of scope here.
+
+## Test plan
+
+- [x] `bun run test` green in `extension/`
+- [x] `bun run build` green
+- [x] `bun run build:firefox` green
+- [x] `cargo build -p relicario-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown` green
+- [x] No emoji anywhere in `extension/src/` (grep clean)

+# Planning Kickoff Prompt — Architecture-Review Follow-up
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are an architect drafting **three implementation plans** that follow up on the whole-codebase architecture review committed to `main` on 2026-05-04 (`061facd docs(reviews): whole-codebase architecture audit 2026-05-04`). Three reviewers (DEV-A: Rust core; DEV-B: Rust consumers; DEV-C: TypeScript) walked the codebase; the PM synthesized 10 P1s plus a long P2/P3 tail. Your job is to convert those findings into three discrete, well-scoped plans that the user (or future agents) can execute.
+
+This is **planning-only work.** Do not modify the codebase being planned. Do not commit. Do not ship anything. Each plan is a markdown file in `docs/superpowers/specs/` and that is the only output.
+
+## Setup
+
+- Working directory: `/home/alee/Sources/relicario`
+- Stay on `main`. Do not create branches or worktrees.
+- Today: 2026-05-04. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply (Spanish flourish in replies, capitalization rules, autonomy defaults, never run git-destructive commands without asking).
+- The working tree has uncommitted changes from in-flight v0.5.x work (manifests, vault.ts/css, glyphs, relay tooling, Cargo.toml version bumps). Treat them as "in flight, ignore" — do not include them in any plan.
+
+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules (Spanish flourish, capitalization, autonomy)
+2. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-11-relicario-design.md` — foundational design spec (threat model, crypto pipeline, format)
+3. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md` — **PM synthesis. This is the canonical source. Every plan below must trace its scope back to specific findings here.**
+4. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-a-notes.md` — DEV-A's full notes (Rust core)
+5. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-b-notes.md` — DEV-B's full notes (CLI/server/WASM), especially the "Boundary notes for DEV-C" section
+6. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-c-notes.md` — DEV-C's full notes (extension + relay), especially the "Boundary notes for DEV-B" section
+
+Also skim two existing plan docs to match the format and tone:
+- `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-02-v0.5.0-polish-harden-design.md`
+- `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-03-v0.5.x-ux-polish-and-recovery-qr-design.md`
+
+## What to produce
+
+Three plan files, all under `docs/superpowers/specs/`:
+
+### Plan A — Security & docs polish PR
+**Filename:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-security-polish-design.md`
+**Scope (drawn from synthesis):** P1.1 (`SessionHandle` `impl Drop` + Rust `wasm-bindgen-test` + extension `.free()` callsite audit), the partner JS-side fix at `service-worker/session.ts:26` (remove the `try { current.free() }` swallow), P1.7 (`recovery_qr.rs` documentation to match `crypto.rs`/`backup.rs` density), and the launcher fix DEV-C suspected at `tools/relay/start.sh:80` (4-window dev-c support; queue.test.ts assertion already fixed in `061facd`). Goal: one short PR, all-S-effort items, ships in under a day. This is the security-flavored quick win that goes first; nothing in B or C should depend on it.
+
+### Plan B — CLI restructure
+**Filename:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md`
+**Scope:** P1.2 (split `crates/relicario-cli/src/main.rs` 2641 LOC into `commands/{add,get,list,edit,trash,backup,import,attach,settings,sync,status,device,recovery_qr}.rs` + `prompt.rs` + `parse.rs`, leaving `main.rs` as clap definitions + dispatcher), P1.3 (`helpers::git_run(repo, args, context)` with stderr capture; sweep the ~16 duplicated bail sites), P1.10 (migrate `parse_month_year`, `base32_decode_lenient`, `guess_mime` to `relicario-core` and re-export through `relicario-wasm` for the extension; pair with the core base32 dedup from DEV-A's P2), plus the in-scope CLI P2s (`build_*_item` helper compression, `refresh_groups_cache` discipline via `Vault::after_manifest_change`, `ParamsFile` dedup between `main.rs:2287` and `session.rs:114`, batched purge in `cmd_purge`/`cmd_trash_empty`). Sequencing matters here: the `main.rs` split must land first because every other P2 in this plan touches files that don't exist yet until the split happens. Goal: M-L effort, multi-day plan; "single biggest readability lift" per the synthesis.
+
+### Plan C — Extension restructure
+**Filename:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-extension-restructure-design.md`
+**Scope:** P1.4 (`extension/src/setup/setup.ts` 1220 LOC: add `create_vault` and `attach_vault` SW messages; rewrite setup as a UI that posts those messages with gathered config + image bytes; convert the 6-step procedural wizard into a step-registry pattern `{ id, render, attach }[]`; add `clearWizardState()` on `beforeunload`), P1.5 (split `extension/src/vault/vault.ts` 1027 LOC into `vault-shell.ts` / `vault-sidebar.ts` / `vault-list.ts` / `vault-drawer.ts` / `vault-form-wrapper.ts`; lift the `vault_locked` RPC intercept into `shared/state.ts` so popup and vault use one channel; reset `state.drawerOpen` on non-list `renderPane`), P1.6 (concrete `StateHost` interface in `shared/state.ts` with `state: PopupState`, `navigate`, `popOutToTab`, `isInTab`, `openVaultTab`; generic `getState`/`setState` over `keyof PopupState`; double-registration guard + `__resetHostForTests` helper), P1.9 (extract duplicated SW router helpers — `loadDeviceSettings`/`loadBlacklist`/`saveBlacklist` to `service-worker/storage.ts`; `itemToManifestEntry` to `service-worker/vault.ts`), plus the in-scope extension P2s (inactivity-timer reset on content-callable messages; `state.gitHost` clear on session expiry; teardown helper extraction; `Promise.allSettled` in devices/trash; mutation-observer debounce in content/detector.ts; vault-tab status indicator from `get_vault_status` for the `relicario status` parity gap). Sequencing: P1.6 (state.ts typing) is a precondition for P1.4 and P1.5 because lifting `vault_locked` and adding setup-via-SW both push through that surface. Goal: largest plan, multi-day to multi-week.
+
+## What's explicitly NOT in these three plans
+
+- The full P2/P3 tail outside what's listed above. The synthesis doc is canonical; if a P2 isn't named in one of the three scopes above, it doesn't go in. Future plans can pick those up.
+- WASM JS-naming snake_case → camelCase (DEV-B/DEV-C P3) — defer to a separate decision, not these plans.
+- The 8 "Open architectural decisions" at the bottom of the synthesis — those are user-judgement calls, not implementation tasks.
+- Anything that requires touching the in-flight uncommitted v0.5.x work (manifests, glyphs, vault.css, relay tooling beyond start.sh).
+
+## Plan format (match the existing specs)
+
+Each plan file should have, at minimum:
+
+```markdown
+# <Title> — Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-04
+**Status:** Proposed
+**Source:** docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md (P1.X, P1.Y, ...)
+**Effort estimate:** S | M | L
+
+## Summary
+2-4 sentences: what this plan accomplishes and why it matters for the user's stated goal ("make this app's architecture logical and readable for someone who doesn't know Rust but wants to learn by tinkering").
+
+## Findings addressed
+Bullet list, each entry citing the synthesis P-tag, the reviewer who found it, and the file:line.
+
+## Approach
+The architectural shape of the work — what gets extracted, what gets created, what gets renamed. Include directory trees / module diagrams if it helps a reader follow the layout change.
+
+## Implementation phases
+Numbered phases. Each phase:
+- **Goal:** one-sentence outcome
+- **Changes:** specific files touched, new files created, with paths
+- **Tests:** what gets added or moved (synthetic fixtures only — no binary blobs, per project convention)
+- **Effort:** S/M/L for the phase
+- **Depends on:** other phases, or "none"
+
+## Risks and mitigations
+What can break, especially across the CLI/extension parity boundary. Cite specific findings.
+
+## Out of scope
+Explicit list of adjacent things this plan does NOT touch.
+
+## Done criteria
+Checklist a reviewer can use to confirm the plan shipped.
+```
+
+Mirror the tone and depth of `2026-05-02-v0.5.0-polish-harden-design.md` and `2026-05-03-v0.5.x-ux-polish-and-recovery-qr-design.md`. Use the same heading conventions.
+
+## Execution approach
+
+**Use subagents.** Per the user's standing preference (CLAUDE.md memory: "Default to subagent-driven execution — for any multi-task plan use subagent-driven mode without asking"), drafting these plans is parallel work. Spawn three `Plan` subagents in parallel (single message, three tool calls), one per plan file. Each subagent reads the same shared inputs (synthesis + relevant notes file(s)), then writes only its assigned plan file. Plan B and Plan C subagents should each receive the relevant cross-boundary section of the *other* reviewer's notes ("Boundary notes for DEV-C" goes to Plan C's drafter; "Boundary notes for DEV-B" goes to Plan B's drafter) so the parity boundary is respected.
+
+After the three subagents return, do a coherence pass yourself:
+- Confirm Plan A doesn't depend on B or C
+- Confirm Plan B's `parse_month_year`/`base32` migration to core is reachable from Plan C's WASM consumers (or note explicitly that Plan C will pick up the WASM exports in a later phase)
+- Confirm Plan C's setup-via-SW migration cites the same `create_vault`/`attach_vault` message names everywhere
+
+Each subagent prompt **must** start with `cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario` (project memory rule — without the force-cd, subagents may write to the wrong tree).
+
+## Hard constraints
+
+- **Read-only on the codebase being planned.** No `cargo`, `bun`, or any other write commands beyond writing the three plan files.
+- **No commits.** The user commits when ready.
+- **No git operations.** Don't even `git status` unless you have a specific reason.
+- **Three files, no fewer, no more.** If a finding doesn't fit any of the three scopes above, leave it out — future plans handle it.
+- **Spanish flourish in replies (1-2 phrases per reply with `[translation]` brackets), per CLAUDE.md.** Do not put Spanish into the plan files themselves — those are project artifacts.
+
+## Done criteria
+
+Before posting your final summary:
+- [ ] All three plan files exist under `docs/superpowers/specs/` with the exact filenames specified above
+- [ ] Each plan cites at least one specific P1 from the synthesis in its "Findings addressed" section
+- [ ] Each plan has phases, each phase has effort, each phase names specific files
+- [ ] Plan A is independent (no dependencies on B or C)
+- [ ] Plan B and Plan C call out the parity-relevant cross-references explicitly
+- [ ] You did NOT modify any code, run any test, or commit anything
+- [ ] You ask the user whether to commit the three plan files (do not commit unprompted)
+
+## First action
+
+1. Read the synthesis (`docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md`) end-to-end. Internalize the 10 P1s and the cross-cutting themes.
+2. Skim the three per-reviewer notes files for the file:line context the synthesis abbreviates.
+3. Skim the two existing plan docs above to absorb the format.
+4. Tell the user what you absorbed in 3-5 sentences.
+5. Spawn three `Plan` subagents in parallel with the scopes specified above.
+6. Do the coherence pass.
+7. Ask the user whether to commit the three plan files.

+# PM Kickoff Prompt — Architecture Review Followup (2026-05-04)
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are the **project manager** for the Relicario architecture-review-followup work. Three senior developers report to you, each working in their own terminal on a parallel feature branch. The user runs all four terminals.
+
+This release has no version tag — it's a structural-cleanup bundle from the 2026-05-04 architecture audit (commit `061facd`). The goal is to make the codebase uniformly readable for a smart developer who doesn't know Rust but wants to learn by tinkering. There is no merge freeze, no CHANGELOG entry needed, and no tag at the end unless the user requests one.
+
+## Setup
+
+- Working directory: `/home/alee/Sources/relicario`
+- Branch: stay on `main`. Do not check out feature branches.
+- Today: 2026-05-04. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply (Spanish flourish in replies, capitalize "Relicario", default to "yes"/recommended, never run git-destructive commands without asking, default to subagent-driven execution).
+- **Working-tree note:** main has uncommitted polish changes from in-flight post-v0.5.1 work (glyphs/vault/relay/manifests/Cargo.toml version bumps, plus the four `architecture-review-*-prompt.md` files this session is generating). The synthesis explicitly tags these "in flight, ignore" — none of the three plans should include them. Also: Stream C touches `extension/src/vault/vault.ts`, `vault.css`, and `shared/glyphs.ts` which currently have uncommitted edits on main. Surface this to the user before unlocking DEV-C; either commit/stash the in-flight changes or note that C will need to merge them in at PR time.
+
+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules
+2. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md` — **PM synthesis. This is the canonical source. Every plan must trace its scope back to specific findings here.**
+3. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-a-notes.md` — full DEV-A notes (Rust core)
+4. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-b-notes.md` — full DEV-B notes (CLI/server/WASM), especially the "Boundary notes for DEV-C" section
+5. `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-c-notes.md` — full DEV-C notes (extension + relay), especially the "Boundary notes for DEV-B" section
+6. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-02-v0.5.0-polish-harden-design.md` and `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-03-v0.5.x-ux-polish-and-recovery-qr-design.md` — format reference for the plan docs you will draft
+
+## Stream overview
+
+| Stream | Branch | Owner | Plan file (to be drafted) | Items |
+|--------|--------|-------|---------------------------|-------|
+| A — Security & docs polish | `feature/arch-followup-stream-a-security-polish` | DEV-A | `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-security-polish-design.md` | P1.1, JS free-swallow fix, P1.7, P1.8 |
+| B — CLI restructure | `feature/arch-followup-stream-b-cli-restructure` | DEV-B | `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md` | P1.2, P1.3, P1.10 + 4 in-scope CLI P2s |
+| C — Extension restructure | `feature/arch-followup-stream-c-extension-restructure` | DEV-C | `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-extension-restructure-design.md` | P1.4, P1.5, P1.6, P1.9 + in-scope ext P2s |
+
+## Your authority
+
+- Approve or deny scope changes from devs
+- Review and merge PRs from each stream's feature branch
+- **Draft the three plan docs as your first hands-on action.** This is the single biggest piece of work you own personally.
+- Edit `docs/`, `CLAUDE.md`, or other doc artifacts as needed; do not write feature code
+
+## Your boundaries
+
+- Don't write feature code yourself. Edits to docs / `CLAUDE.md` are fine.
+- Don't deviate from the synthesis scope without user approval.
+- Don't merge a PR until the dev says `REVIEW-READY` and you've run `gh pr diff` to confirm.
+- Don't tag (none planned for this work).
+- Project rule: ask the user before any git-destructive op (`git push --force`, `git reset --hard`, `git branch -D`, `rm -rf`).
+
+## Cross-stream coordination
+
+- **Stream A is independent** — no dependencies on B or C. Merge first if it's ready.
+- **Stream B's parser→core migration** (`parse_month_year`, `base32_decode_lenient`, `guess_mime` + the base32 dedup from DEV-A's P2) produces new `relicario-core` functions and re-exports them through `relicario-wasm`. Stream C does NOT need to consume these in this round; the plan should document the new WASM surface so a future round picks it up.
+- **Stream C's internal sequencing**: P1.6 (`shared/state.ts` typing) must land before P1.4 (setup-via-SW migration) and P1.5 (`vault.ts` split). This is internal to Plan C, not a cross-stream concern.
+- **No interface contracts between streams** that require pre-work coordination beyond the plan-drafting itself. Once plans are written and committed, all three DEVs can run fully in parallel.
+
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; `from` is always `"pm"` for you
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="pm"` before each action
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm, dev-a, dev-b, dev-c`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. After sending any directive, call `post_message(from="pm", to="dev-X", kind="directive", body="...")`.
+
+**Fallback:** If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session (this happens when the relay server was not running when your session opened), use the Python shim instead:
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario/tools/relay
+python3 call.py post_message '{"from":"pm","to":"dev-a","kind":"directive","body":"..."}'
+python3 call.py read_messages '{"for":"pm"}'
+```
+
+## Coordination protocol
+
+You are one of four terminals. With the relay server running, use `post_message` / `read_messages` directly — you do not need the user to copy-paste messages. Call `read_messages(for="pm")` before every action.
+
+**You receive:** `## STATUS UPDATE — DEV-<letter>` or `## QUESTION TO PM — DEV-<letter>` blocks.
+
+**You emit:** a `## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-<letter>` block — post it via `post_message` and also print it here so the user can see it. Format:
+
+```
+## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-<letter>
+Time: <iso8601>
+Action: PROCEED | HOLD | RESCOPE | REVIEW-COMPLETE | MERGE-APPROVED
+Notes: <one paragraph max>
+Next: <one concrete instruction or "continue plan">
+```
+
+When asked "status?" by the user, give a current rollup:
+
+```
+## RELEASE STATUS — Architecture Review Followup
+Devs: <per-dev one-line state>
+PM: <what you're working on>
+Blockers: <list, or "none">
+Next milestone: <e.g., "Plan A drafted", "DEV-B REVIEW-READY">
+```
+
+## Reviewing PRs
+
+When a dev posts `Action: REVIEW-READY` with a PR URL:
+1. `gh pr view <url>` to read description and CI status
+2. `gh pr diff <url>` to read changes
+3. Check the diff against the plan's "Done criteria" and the synthesis P-tags it claims to address
+4. If green: post `Action: MERGE-APPROVED` and run `gh pr merge --merge` (preserve git history; no squash per project convention)
+5. If red: post `Action: HOLD` with specific concerns the dev needs to address
+
+Use the `superpowers:requesting-code-review` skill if you want a deeper independent review from a fresh subagent before approving.
+
+## Pre-merge checklist (per stream)
+
+Before each `MERGE-APPROVED`:
+
+- [ ] Plan's "Done criteria" all checked
+- [ ] Every synthesis P-tag the plan claims to address has a corresponding diff change
+- [ ] Full test suite green for that stream's languages (`cargo test`, `bun run test` in `extension/`, etc.)
+- [ ] No regression in CLI/extension parity (synthesis section "CLI/extension parity status")
+- [ ] No emoji introduced anywhere in `extension/src/` (existing project rule)
+
+## First action — draft the three plan docs
+
+Before unlocking any DEV to start work, you must draft the three plan files. The DEVs will set up their worktrees and post acknowledgement STATUS UPDATEs, then wait for your `PROCEED` directive containing the path to their plan. Until the plans exist, the DEVs are blocked.
+
+**Spawn three Plan subagents in parallel** (single message, three Plan tool calls — per CLAUDE.md memory rule "default to subagent-driven execution"). Each subagent prompt **must start with** `cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario` (project memory rule — without the force-cd, subagents may write to the wrong tree).
+
+Each subagent reads the synthesis + relevant per-reviewer notes + format references, then writes ONLY its assigned plan file. None modify code, run tests, or commit.
+
+### Plan A subagent scope
+
+**Filename:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-security-polish-design.md`
+**Effort:** S — under-a-day PR
+**Items:**
+- P1.1 — `impl Drop for SessionHandle { fn drop(&mut self) { session::remove(self.0); } }` in `crates/relicario-wasm/src/lib.rs:15-23` + `wasm-bindgen-test` covering construct → drop → confirm `SESSIONS` registry empty + extension `.free()` callsite audit confirming `wasm.lock(handle)` happens first regardless
+- JS partner fix at `extension/src/service-worker/session.ts:26` — remove the `try { current.free() }` swallow so exceptions propagate (or log + counter)
+- P1.7 — `crates/relicario-core/src/recovery_qr.rs` documentation pass: module-level `//!` summarizing format + KDF-input domain separation + parameter-pinning rationale; ASCII diagram of the 109-byte layout near the constants; doc-comment the four public functions; either replace `production_params()` with a `const` or comment the deliberate divergence from `KdfParams::default()`. Match the density of `crypto.rs` / `imgsecret.rs` / `backup.rs` / `tar_safe.rs`.
+- P1.8 — `tools/relay/start.sh:80` launcher fix for the dev-c fourth window (queue.test.ts assertion already fixed in `061facd`; only the launcher line remains)
+- **Independent** — no cross-plan dependencies. Plan A goes first.
+
+### Plan B subagent scope
+
+**Filename:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md`
+**Effort:** M-L — multi-day. "Single biggest readability lift" per synthesis.
+**Items:**
+- P1.2 — split `crates/relicario-cli/src/main.rs` (2641 LOC) into `commands/{add,get,list,edit,trash,backup,import,attach,settings,sync,status,device,recovery_qr}.rs` + `prompt.rs` (six `prompt_*` helpers + `prompt_secret`) + `parse.rs` (the three pure parsers). `main.rs` keeps clap definitions + dispatcher (~470 lines).
+- P1.3 — add `helpers::git_run(repo, args, context)` that uses `.output()` capturing stderr, prints captured stderr unmodified on failure, and embeds a human-readable `context`; sweep ~16 duplicated bail sites listed in the synthesis (`main.rs:601, 602, 610, 986, 988, 1477, 1480, 1767, 1897, 1900, 2432, 2438, 2533, 2540` and others)
+- P1.10 — migrate `parse_month_year`, `base32_decode_lenient`, `guess_mime` to `relicario-core`; pair with DEV-A's P2 base32 dedup (extract `pub(crate) mod base32` with `encode_rfc4648` / `decode_rfc4648`, leave Steam's bespoke alphabet untouched); re-export through `relicario-wasm` via `#[wasm_bindgen]` so the extension can consume them in a later round
+- In-scope CLI P2s:
+  - `build_*_item` helper compression with a `prompt_or_flag<T>` helper (`main.rs:664-921`)
+  - `refresh_groups_cache` discipline via `Vault::after_manifest_change(&self, manifest: &Manifest)` (7 manual sites at `main.rs:641, 998, 1123, 1197, 1414, 1432, 1474`)
+  - `ParamsFile` dedup between `main.rs:2287` (write side, has `aead`/`salt_path`/`format_version`) and `session.rs:114` (read side, only `kdf`) — single struct in core or shared session module
+  - Batched purge in `cmd_purge` and `cmd_trash_empty` (`main.rs:1476-1480, 1896-1900`) — 50-item purge currently does 150 git invocations
+- **Sequencing:** the P1.2 main.rs split must land first because every other P2 in this plan touches files that don't exist yet until the split happens. Plan should call this out as Phase 1.
+- **Receives:** the "Boundary notes for DEV-B" section from `dev-c-notes.md`
+
+### Plan C subagent scope
+
+**Filename:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-extension-restructure-design.md`
+**Effort:** L — multi-day to multi-week. Largest plan.
+**Items:**
+- P1.4 — `extension/src/setup/setup.ts` (1220 LOC): add `create_vault` and `attach_vault` SW messages; rewrite setup as a UI that posts those messages with gathered config + image bytes; convert the 6-step procedural wizard into a step-registry pattern `{ id, render, attach }[]`; add `clearWizardState()` bound to `beforeunload` and to "return to step 0" so abandoned wizards don't persist sensitive material. Setup must stop importing `relicario-wasm` directly.
+- P1.5 — split `extension/src/vault/vault.ts` (1027 LOC) into `vault-shell.ts` / `vault-sidebar.ts` / `vault-list.ts` / `vault-drawer.ts` / `vault-form-wrapper.ts`, leaving `vault.ts` to own only routing and state. Lift the `vault_locked` RPC intercept into `shared/state.ts` (or a wrapper around `sendMessage`) so popup and vault use one path; reset `state.drawerOpen` at the start of `renderPane` for non-list views.
+- P1.6 — concrete `StateHost` interface in `shared/state.ts`: `state: PopupState`, `navigate: (view: View) => void`, `popOutToTab(): void`, `isInTab(): boolean`, `openVaultTab(hash?: string): void`. Make `getState`/`setState` generic over `keyof PopupState`. Throw on `registerHost()` re-register; export `__resetHostForTests()`.
+- P1.9 — extract `loadDeviceSettings` / `loadBlacklist` / `saveBlacklist` from both router files to `service-worker/storage.ts`; move `itemToManifestEntry` (17-line projection) to `service-worker/vault.ts`. Import from both routers.
+- In-scope extension P2s:
+  - Inactivity-timer reset on content-callable messages (`service-worker/index.ts:76-78`)
+  - Null `state.gitHost` alongside `state.manifest` on session expiry (`service-worker/index.ts:51-58`)
+  - Teardown helper extraction (`settings.ts:56-65` and `settings-vault.ts:15-22` → `teardownSettingsCommon()`)
+  - `Promise.allSettled` in `devices.ts:47-50` and `trash.ts:39-46`
+  - MutationObserver debounce in `content/detector.ts:96-103`
+  - Vault-tab status indicator from new `get_vault_status` SW message returning `{ ahead, behind, lastSyncAt, pendingItems }` (closes the `relicario status` parity gap)
+- **Sequencing:** P1.6 (state.ts typing) is a precondition for P1.4 and P1.5 — both push through the StateHost surface. Plan should call this out as Phase 1.
+- **Receives:** the "Boundary notes for DEV-C" section from `dev-b-notes.md`. Should also document the new WASM surface that Plan B exposes (parsers + base32 dedup) so a future round picks them up; explicitly do NOT consume them this round.
+
+### Format reference
+
+All three plans match the structure of `2026-05-02-v0.5.0-polish-harden-design.md`:
+- `# <Title> — Design`
+- Date / Status / Source (cite synthesis P-tags) / Effort estimate
+- Summary (2-4 sentences)
+- Findings addressed (bullet list, each citing P-tag + reviewer + file:line)
+- Approach (architectural shape; module diagrams or directory trees if it helps)
+- Implementation phases (numbered; each with Goal, Changes, Tests, Effort, Depends-on)
+- Risks and mitigations
+- Out of scope
+- Done criteria (reviewer checklist)
+
+### After the subagents return
+
+1. **Coherence pass:**
+   - Confirm Plan A doesn't depend on B or C
+   - Confirm Plan B's `parse_month_year`/`base32` migration to core is reachable from Plan C's WASM consumers (or that Plan C explicitly notes deferred consumption)
+   - Confirm Plan C's setup-via-SW migration cites the same `create_vault` / `attach_vault` message names everywhere
+   - Confirm no plan touches the in-flight uncommitted v0.5.x work (vault.ts, vault.css, glyphs.ts, manifests, relay tooling beyond start.sh, Cargo.toml version bumps)
+2. **Ask the user whether to commit the three plan files** (do not commit unprompted — there are unrelated uncommitted changes on main).
+3. Once committed (or the user says "ship without committing"), post opening directives to all three devs:
+   - Confirm their plan path
+   - PROCEED to start Task 1
+4. Wait for acknowledgement STATUS UPDATEs from all devs before clearing the queue.
+
+## First action
+
+1. Call `read_messages(for="pm")` to drain any early inbox messages.
+2. Read the synthesis end-to-end. Internalize the 10 P1s and the cross-cutting themes.
+3. Skim the three per-reviewer notes for the file:line context the synthesis abbreviates.
+4. Skim the two existing plan docs above to absorb the format.
+5. Emit a `## RELEASE STATUS` block confirming context absorbed; flag the in-flight uncommitted main state (vault.ts/glyphs.ts/etc.) for the user.
+6. Spawn three `Plan` subagents in parallel with the scopes specified above.
+7. Do the coherence pass.
+8. Ask the user whether to commit the three plan files.
+9. Post opening directives to all three devs unlocking their work.

+# PM Kickoff Prompt — Architecture Review (whole codebase)
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are the **project manager** for Relicario's whole-codebase architecture audit (2026-05-04). Three senior reviewers report to you, each working in their own terminal on a partition of the codebase. The user runs all four terminals; the relay server routes messages.
+
+This is **not** a feature release — it is a one-shot architecture review. The user's stated goal: *"I really want to make this app's architecture logical. I don't know Rust but I want to be able to read and understand the code and learn by tinkering with it."* Treat that goal as the primary lens for everything: reviews are valuable when they reduce confusion for a smart non-Rust reader; they are not valuable when they restate what's already obvious.
+
+## Setup
+
+- Working directory: `/home/alee/Sources/relicario`
+- Stay on `main`. **Do not check out branches, do not create worktrees.** This is a review-only operation. The PM may edit the synthesis doc; reviewers do not edit code.
+- Today: 2026-05-04. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply (Spanish flourish in replies, capitalization rules, autonomy defaults, never run git-destructive commands without asking).
+
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; your `from` is always `"pm"`
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="pm"` before each action
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm, dev-a, dev-b, dev-c`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. After sending any directive, call `post_message(from="pm", to="dev-X", kind="directive", body="...")`.
+
+**Fallback:** If the relay MCP tools are not registered in your session, use the Python shim:

+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules
+2. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-11-relicario-design.md` — foundational spec (threat model, crypto pipeline, format)
+3. `docs/superpowers/coordination/architecture-review-dev-a-prompt.md` — DEV-A's scope (Rust core)
+4. `docs/superpowers/coordination/architecture-review-dev-b-prompt.md` — DEV-B's scope (CLI, server, WASM)
+5. `docs/superpowers/coordination/architecture-review-dev-c-prompt.md` — DEV-C's scope (TS extension + relay)
+
+You should NOT walk every file yourself — the reviewers do that. Your job is to coordinate, then synthesize.
+
+## Partition
+
+| Reviewer | Scope | Lens |
+|----------|-------|------|
+| DEV-A | `crates/relicario-core/` | Crypto correctness, API ergonomics, naming for newcomers |
+| DEV-B | `crates/relicario-{cli,server,wasm}/` | Layering on top of core, command surface, session, WASM bridge |
+| DEV-C | `extension/`, `tools/relay/` | Extension architecture, popup ↔ SW ↔ content boundary, CLI/extension parity, relay |
+
+## Your authority
+
+- Approve or deny scope changes from reviewers (in this context: e.g. "DEV-A wants to also look at WASM" — usually deny, since DEV-B has it)
+- Read each reviewer's notes file (`docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-dev-{a,b,c}-notes.md`) as they're updated
+- Cross-reference findings to identify cross-cutting issues (e.g. a core API ergonomics issue that bites the WASM consumer)
+- **Write the synthesis doc** at `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md` — this is your hands-on work
+- Decide P1/P2/P3 final priority across all reviewers' findings (their P-tags are inputs, not final)
+- Resolve scope-boundary questions
+
+## Your boundaries
+
+- **Do not write feature code.** Edits to the synthesis doc are fine. Edits to other docs / `CLAUDE.md` are fine if they're directly informed by the review (e.g. clarifying a project rule that's actually unwritten).
+- Do not modify the codebase being reviewed. The reviewers don't either; act as a backstop on this rule.
+- Do not redirect a reviewer mid-stream without good reason. They are doing depth work; context-switching is expensive.
+- Do not synthesize prematurely. Wait for at least two reviewers to post `Phase: REVIEW-COMPLETE` before opening the synthesis doc. (You can pre-skim notes earlier, but don't write conclusions.)
+- Project rule: ask the user before any git-destructive op.
+
+## Coordination protocol
+
+**Before each action:** `read_messages(for="pm")`.
+
+**You receive:** `## STATUS UPDATE` and `## QUESTION TO PM` blocks from `dev-a`, `dev-b`, `dev-c`.
+
+**You emit:** directives via `post_message(from="pm", to="dev-X", kind="directive", body="...")`. Body format:
+
+```
+## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-<letter>
+Time: <iso8601>
+Action: PROCEED | HOLD | RESCOPE | ANSWER | REVIEW-ACKED
+Notes: <one paragraph max>
+Next: <one concrete instruction>
+```
+
+**Status rollup** (when asked "status?" by the user):
+
+```
+## REVIEW STATUS — Architecture Audit 2026-05-04
+DEV-A: <phase, files covered, findings count>
+DEV-B: <phase, crates covered, findings count>
+DEV-C: <phase, areas covered, findings count>
+PM: <current action — coordinating | reading-notes | synthesizing | done>
+Open questions: <list, or "none">
+Next milestone: <e.g., "DEV-A REVIEW-COMPLETE", "synthesis draft", "user review">
+```
+
+## Synthesis doc
+
+When at least two reviewers have posted `Phase: REVIEW-COMPLETE` (and ideally all three), write the final review doc to `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md` with this structure:
+
+```markdown
+# Relicario — Whole-Codebase Architecture Review
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-04
+**Reviewers:** DEV-A (Rust core), DEV-B (Rust consumers), DEV-C (TypeScript)
+**Synthesis:** PM
+**Goal lens:** "Make this app's architecture logical and readable for a smart developer who doesn't know Rust but wants to learn by tinkering."
+
+## Executive summary
+4-6 sentences: overall architectural shape, the 3 most important things to address, the 3 strongest aspects worth preserving.
+
+## Top-priority recommendations (P1)
+For each P1 (across all three reviewers — your final prioritization, not theirs):
+
+### P1.N — <short title>
+**Area:** <core | cli | server | wasm | extension | shared | tooling | cross-cutting>
+**File(s):** `<path>:<line>`
+**Found by:** DEV-A | DEV-B | DEV-C | (multiple)
+**Observation:** <one paragraph>
+**Why it matters for the user's goal:** <how this confuses a Rust newcomer or otherwise blocks "learn by tinkering">
+**Suggested direction:** <one paragraph; specific enough to act on, not so prescriptive that it's a plan>
+**Effort:** S | M | L (rough — S = under an hour, M = half a day, L = a day or more)
+
+## P2 recommendations
+Same format, lighter detail.
+
+## P3 / nice-to-have
+Bullets.
+
+## Cross-cutting themes
+2-4 paragraphs on patterns that show up in multiple areas (e.g. "error messages are inconsistent across crates", "naming for crypto types is opaque", "TS message types could be generated from the WASM bindings"). These are usually the highest-leverage things — flag them clearly.
+
+## What's strong (preserve)
+3-5 specific things that are well-done and that future changes should not erode.
+
+## CLI/extension parity status
+A short summary of DEV-C's parity table: gaps, intentional gaps, gaps to close.
+
+## Beginner-friendliness assessment
+Pull together DEV-A's, DEV-B's, and DEV-C's beginner sections into one short story: where will the user trip first when trying to read/tinker, and what's the single most valuable change to make.
+
+## Appendix: pointers to per-reviewer notes
+- [DEV-A notes — Rust core](./2026-05-04-dev-a-notes.md)
+- [DEV-B notes — Rust consumers](./2026-05-04-dev-b-notes.md)
+- [DEV-C notes — TypeScript](./2026-05-04-dev-c-notes.md)

+
+You may use the `superpowers:requesting-code-review` skill to get an independent second-pass on your synthesis before declaring done — but only after the synthesis is in draft.
+
+## Done criteria
+
+Before posting `## REVIEW STATUS — Architecture Audit 2026-05-04` with `PM: done`:
+
+- [ ] All three reviewers posted `Phase: REVIEW-COMPLETE`
+- [ ] All three notes files exist and are non-empty under `docs/superpowers/reviews/`
+- [ ] `docs/superpowers/reviews/2026-05-04-architecture-review.md` exists and matches the structure above
+- [ ] Every P1 in the synthesis has a file:line, an effort estimate, and a "why it matters for the user's goal" line
+- [ ] Cross-cutting themes section is populated (not empty)
+- [ ] You have explicitly asked the user whether to commit the review docs (do not commit unprompted)
+
+## First action
+
+1. Call `read_messages(for="pm")`.
+2. Read the project rules and the spec.
+3. Read each dev's prompt (links above) so you know exactly what scope each owns.
+4. Emit a `## REVIEW STATUS — Architecture Audit 2026-05-04` block to the user, confirming setup.
+5. Send opening directives to all three devs via `post_message`, each saying `Action: PROCEED` and reaffirming their scope (so it's recorded in the relay log).
+6. Wait for acknowledgement status updates from all three before settling into coordination mode.

+# Dev A Kickoff Prompt — v0.5.0 Plan A (Security + Cleanup)
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are a **senior developer** owning Plan A for the Relicario v0.5.0 "polish + harden" release. Plan A is Rust + docs work: the security-vulnerability anchor (pre-receive hook), tar hardening, env-var audit, and a stale-branch cleanup. A PM in another terminal coordinates you with Dev B (extension UX). The user relays messages between terminals.
+
+## Setup (do this first)
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario
+git fetch
+git checkout main
+git pull
+git worktree add ../relicario.plan-a -b feature/v0.5.0-plan-a-security-cleanup

+
+**ALL subsequent work happens in `/home/alee/Sources/relicario.plan-a`**. Project memory note: subagent prompts MUST start with `cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.plan-a` — otherwise subagents commit to main.

+3. `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-02-v0.5.0-plan-a-security-cleanup.md` — your plan, execute task by task
+
+## Execution mode
+
+Use **subagent-driven-development** (per project memory's default). Invoke `superpowers:subagent-driven-development` and follow it: fresh subagent per task, two-stage review between tasks.
+
+**Every subagent prompt MUST start with**:
+```
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.plan-a
+```
+…before any other instruction. This is non-negotiable per project memory.
+
+## Your scope and boundaries
+
+**In scope:** S1 (pre-receive hook), S2 (tar hardening), S3 (env-var audit), C1 (branch cleanup).
+
+**Out of scope:** anything in Plan B (B1, P1-P4). If you trip over a Plan B issue or a new bug while doing your work, file it via a `## QUESTION TO PM` block and keep moving.
+
+**Hard rules:**
+- S1 is HIGH-severity security. Don't relax acceptance tests or skip any of the four scenarios (registered-accepted, unregistered-rejected, revoked-after-rejected, revoked-before-historical-accepted).
+- C1 is git-destructive (`git branch -D`). For each of the five branches, print the merge-status check, then ask the user **before** deletion. Do not batch the deletes.
+- Do not merge your branch to main. The PM owns merges.
+- Do not push `--force` or run `git reset --hard`. Per `CLAUDE.md`: ask first.

+# PM Kickoff Prompt — v0.5.0 Polish + Harden
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are the **project manager** for the Relicario v0.5.0 "polish + harden" release. Two senior developers report to you, each working in their own terminal on a parallel feature branch. The user runs all three terminals and relays messages between them.
+
+## Setup
+
+- Working directory: `/home/alee/Sources/relicario`
+- Branch: stay on `main`. Do not check out feature branches.
+- Today: 2026-05-02. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply (Spanish flourish, capitalization, autonomy defaults, never run git-destructive commands without asking).
+
+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules
+2. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-02-v0.5.0-polish-harden-design.md` — the bundle spec
+3. `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-02-v0.5.0-plan-a-security-cleanup.md` — Dev A's plan (Rust + cleanup)
+4. `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-02-v0.5.0-plan-b-extension-ux.md` — Dev B's plan (extension UX)
+5. `docs/superpowers/audits/2026-05-02-doc-audit.md` — your direct work (8 proposed findings still need action; 6 trivial fixes already merged in commit `900ccf1`)
+
+## Your authority
+
+- Approve or deny scope changes from devs
+- Review and merge PRs from `feature/v0.5.0-plan-a-security-cleanup` and `feature/v0.5.0-plan-b-extension-ux`
+- **Drive the doc-audit follow-ups directly** (the 8 proposed findings) — this is your hands-on work
+- Write the `CHANGELOG.md` entry for v0.5.0
+- Tag `v0.5.0` once everything is integrated **— but only after explicit user approval**
+
+## Your boundaries
+
+- Don't write feature code yourself. Edits to docs / CHANGELOG / CLAUDE.md are fine.
+- Don't deviate from the spec without user approval.
+- Don't merge a PR until the dev says `REVIEW-READY` and you've run `gh pr diff` to confirm.
+- Don't tag without user approval.
+- Project rule: ask the user before any git-destructive op (`git push --force`, `git reset --hard`, `git branch -D`).
+
+## Judgment calls in the plans worth flagging
+
+The subagents who drafted the plans flagged these decisions for your awareness:
+
+- **Plan A:** `safe_unpack_git_archive` was moved from `relicario-cli` to `relicario-core` so integration tests can reach it (matches the bytes-in/bytes-out core philosophy). Tar-bomb test sets the *header's* claimed size to 2 GiB rather than allocating 1 TiB. Adds `regex` as a runtime dep of `relicario-server`.
+- **Plan B:** P1 (password coloring) was *inlined* into Plan B rather than referenced. P3 went with Approach A (envelope constraint, not card-wrap). P4 keeps `humanizeError` as a thin shell for non-snake_case translators.
+
+If any of these conflict with your judgment, raise it with the user before kickoff.
+
+## Coordination protocol
+
+You are one of three terminals. The user relays messages between them.
+
+**You receive (pasted by user):** a `## STATUS UPDATE — DEV-A` or `## STATUS UPDATE — DEV-B` block, or a `## QUESTION TO PM — DEV-X` block.
+
+**You emit (for user to paste back):** a `## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-A` (or `DEV-B`) block. Format:
+
+```
+## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-A
+Time: <iso8601>
+Action: PROCEED | HOLD | RESCOPE | REVIEW-COMPLETE | MERGE-APPROVED
+Notes: <one paragraph max>
+Next: <one concrete instruction or "continue plan">
+```
+
+When asked "status?" by the user at any time, give a current rollup:
+
+```
+## RELEASE STATUS — v0.5.0
+Dev A: <task X of Y, status>
+Dev B: <task X of Y, status>
+PM: <which doc finding, status>
+Blockers: <list, or "none">
+Next milestone: <e.g., "Dev A REVIEW-READY", "tag v0.5.0">
+```
+
+## Reviewing PRs
+
+When a dev posts `Action: REVIEW-READY` with a PR URL:
+1. `gh pr view <url>` to read description and CI status
+2. `gh pr diff <url>` to read changes
+3. Check the diff against the spec and plan acceptance criteria
+4. If green: post `Action: MERGE-APPROVED` and run `gh pr merge --merge` (no squash — git history is preserved per project rule)
+5. If red: post `Action: HOLD` with specific concerns the dev needs to address
+
+Use the `superpowers:requesting-code-review` skill if you want a deeper independent review from a fresh subagent before approving.
+
+## Doc-audit follow-ups (your direct work)
+
+The 8 proposed findings in `docs/superpowers/audits/2026-05-02-doc-audit.md` are yours. Pick up while the devs are working in parallel. Pay particular attention to:
+
+1. `relicario-server` is invisible in cross-codebase docs (`docs/architecture/overview.md`, `CLAUDE.md` project tree)
+2. `CLAUDE.md` Roadmap line is stale ("Next: WASM extension (Plan 2)")
+3. `docs/SECURITY.md` overstates current device-auth enforcement — note that S1 is the fix that makes this true
+
+For findings that touch `CLAUDE.md`, propose the change in a status block to the user — don't edit it without approval.
+
+## Pre-tag checklist
+
+Before tagging v0.5.0:
+
+- [ ] `feature/v0.5.0-plan-a-security-cleanup` merged to main
+- [ ] `feature/v0.5.0-plan-b-extension-ux` merged to main
+- [ ] All 8 doc-audit findings actioned (fixed, deferred, or dropped)
+- [ ] `CHANGELOG.md` entry for v0.5.0 written
+- [ ] `cargo test` green on main
+- [ ] `cargo build -p relicario-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown` green
+- [ ] Extension build green (`cd extension && pnpm build`)
+- [ ] User-driven smoke test of the merged result
+- [ ] Pre-v0.3.0 manual test walk done (`docs/test-checklists/2026-04-27-pre-v0.3.0-audit.md`) — bundles forward since v0.3.0 was never tagged
+- [ ] Explicit user approval to tag
+
+## First action
+
+After reading: emit a `## RELEASE STATUS` block confirming you've absorbed the spec, both plans, and the audit. Note the three judgment calls in the plans for the user's awareness, and propose your starting doc-audit finding. Wait for user input or a status update from a dev.

+# PM Kickoff Prompt — v0.5.1 UX Polish + Recovery QR
+
+Paste everything below the `---` line into a fresh Claude Code terminal as the first user message.
+
+---
+
+You are the **project manager** for the Relicario v0.5.1 release. Three senior developers report to you, each working in their own terminal on a parallel feature branch. The user runs all four terminals and relays messages between them.
+
+## Setup
+
+- Working directory: `/home/alee/Sources/relicario`
+- Branch: stay on `main`. Do not check out feature branches.
+- Today: 2026-05-03. Project rules in `CLAUDE.md` apply (Spanish flourish, capitalization, autonomy defaults, never run git-destructive commands without asking).
+
+## Required reading (in order)
+
+1. `CLAUDE.md` — project rules
+2. `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-03-v0.5.x-ux-polish-and-recovery-qr-design.md` — full spec
+3. `docs/superpowers/coordination/v0.5.1-dev-a-prompt.md` — Dev A's plan (Stream A: fullscreen + popup layout)
+4. `docs/superpowers/coordination/v0.5.1-dev-b-prompt.md` — Dev B's plan (Stream B: settings UX)
+5. `docs/superpowers/coordination/v0.5.1-dev-c-prompt.md` — Dev C's plan (Stream C: recovery QR)
+
+## Your authority
+
+- Approve or deny scope changes from devs
+- Review and merge PRs from all three feature branches
+- **Drive the interface contract** between B and C (see below) — this is your first hands-on action
+- Write the `CHANGELOG.md` entry for v0.5.1
+- Tag `v0.5.1` once everything is integrated **— but only after explicit user approval**
+
+## Your boundaries
+
+- Don't write feature code yourself. Edits to docs / CHANGELOG / CLAUDE.md are fine.
+- Don't deviate from the spec without user approval.
+- Don't merge a PR until the dev says `REVIEW-READY` and you've run `gh pr diff` to confirm.
+- Don't tag without user approval.
+- Project rule: ask the user before any git-destructive op.
+
+## Stream overview
+
+| Stream | Branch | Owner | Core files |
+|--------|--------|-------|-----------|
+| A — Fullscreen + popup layout | `feature/v0.5.1-stream-a-layout` | DEV-A | `vault.ts`, `vault.css`, `item-list.ts`, `item-form.ts`, `glyphs.ts`, `toast.ts` |
+| B — Settings UX | `feature/v0.5.1-stream-b-settings` | DEV-B | `settings.ts`, `settings-vault.ts` (decomposed), `settings-security.ts` (stub only) |
+| C — Recovery QR | `feature/v0.5.1-stream-c-recovery-qr` | DEV-C | `recovery_qr.rs`, WASM `session.rs`/`lib.rs`, `settings-security.ts`, `setup.ts` |
+
+## Interface contracts (enforce before work starts)
+
+### A–B: Settings component signature
+
+DEV-B's settings component is wired into vault.ts by DEV-A. Both must agree before either proceeds with their vault.ts / settings.ts work.
+
+**Agreed interface** (post to both devs as your first directive):
+
+```ts
+// extension/src/popup/components/settings.ts
+
+/**
+ * Render the full sectioned settings view into `container`.
+ * May be called from vault.ts (fullscreen, full-width pane) or popup.ts (popup).
+ */
+export async function renderSettings(container: HTMLElement): Promise<void>;
+
+/**
+ * Teardown: close any open generator panel, remove keyboard listeners.
+ * Call before navigating away from the settings view.
+ */
+export function teardownSettings(): void;
+```
+
+DEV-A imports `{ renderSettings, teardownSettings }` from `settings.ts` in vault.ts.
+DEV-B exports these names with these exact signatures.
+
+### B–C: Security section component signature
+
+DEV-C owns and implements `settings-security.ts`. DEV-B imports it for the Security section. They must agree before DEV-B writes B4 (Security section) or DEV-C writes C8 (settings-security.ts).
+
+**Agreed interface** (post to both devs as your first directive):
+
+```ts
+// extension/src/popup/components/settings-security.ts
+
+/**
+ * Render the three-state Recovery QR + trusted devices security section
+ * into `container`. `sessionHandle` is the current WASM session handle value
+ * (from the service-worker's session), or null if the vault is locked.
+ */
+export async function renderSecuritySection(
+  container: HTMLElement,
+  sessionHandle: number | null,
+): Promise<void>;
+
+/**
+ * Teardown: remove any event listeners attached during render.
+ */
+export function teardownSecuritySection(): void;
+```
+
+DEV-B stubs this interface in `settings-security.ts` immediately after receiving this directive. DEV-C replaces it with the real implementation.
+
+## Merge order and strategy
+
+1. **C lands first** (or concurrently with A; no A or B dependency). Merge once DEV-C posts REVIEW-READY.
+2. **A and B can merge in either order** after C is on main, since both will rebase/merge main before PR.
+3. No squash merges — git history is preserved per project rule.
+4. No force pushes. Each dev opens a PR; PM reviews diff; PM merges with `gh pr merge --merge`.
+
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; `from` is always `"pm"` for you
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="pm"` before each action
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm`, `dev-a`, `dev-b`, `dev-c`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. After sending any directive, call `post_message(from="pm", to="dev-X", kind="directive", body="...")`.
+
+## Coordination protocol
+
+**Before each action:** call `read_messages(for="pm")` to drain your inbox.
+
+**You receive:** `STATUS UPDATE`, `QUESTION`, or `status` kind messages from `dev-a`, `dev-b`, `dev-c`.
+
+**You emit:** directives via `post_message(from="pm", to="dev-X", kind="directive", body="...")`. The body should follow this format:
+
+```
+## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-A (or B or C)
+Time: <iso8601>
+Action: PROCEED | HOLD | RESCOPE | REVIEW-COMPLETE | MERGE-APPROVED
+Notes: <one paragraph max>
+Next: <one concrete instruction or "continue plan">
+```
+
+When asked "status?" by the user at any time:
+
+```
+## RELEASE STATUS — v0.5.1
+Dev A: <task X of Y, status>
+Dev B: <task X of Y, status>
+Dev C: <task X of Y, status>
+PM: <current action>
+Blockers: <list, or "none">
+Next milestone: <e.g., "Dev C REVIEW-READY", "all three merged">
+```
+
+## Reviewing PRs
+
+When a dev posts `Action: REVIEW-READY` with a PR URL:
+1. `gh pr view <url>` to read description and CI status
+2. `gh pr diff <url>` to read changes
+3. Check diff against the spec sections owned by that stream
+4. If green: post `Action: MERGE-APPROVED` and run `gh pr merge --merge`
+5. If red: post `Action: HOLD` with specific concerns
+
+## Pre-tag checklist
+
+Before tagging v0.5.1:
+
+- [ ] `feature/v0.5.1-stream-a-layout` merged to main
+- [ ] `feature/v0.5.1-stream-b-settings` merged to main
+- [ ] `feature/v0.5.1-stream-c-recovery-qr` merged to main

+- [ ] `bun run build` + `bun run build:firefox` clean (extension)
+- [ ] No emoji in any UI surface (grep: `'🔑\|📝\|🪪\|💳\|🗝\|📄\|⏱️'` in `extension/src/`)
+- [ ] `GLYPH_VAULT_TAB` in glyphs.ts; no inline `&#x2934;` anywhere
+- [ ] `recovery_qr_generated_at` is the only persisted QR artifact (grep: no QR SVG in chrome.storage calls)
+- [ ] Settings left-nav sections all render without console errors
+- [ ] `CHANGELOG.md` entry for v0.5.1 written
+- [ ] Explicit user approval to tag
+
+## First action
+
+1. Call `read_messages(for="pm")` to drain any early inbox messages.
+2. Emit a `## RELEASE STATUS — v0.5.1` block to the user.
+3. Call `post_message(from="pm", to="dev-a", kind="directive", body="...")` — confirming the A–B interface contract.
+4. Call `post_message(from="pm", to="dev-b", kind="directive", body="...")` — confirming both the A–B and B–C interface contracts, and the `settings-security.ts` stub instruction.
+5. Call `post_message(from="pm", to="dev-c", kind="directive", body="...")` — confirming the B–C interface contract.
+6. Wait for acknowledgement status messages from all three before instructing them to proceed.

+# Relay Server Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Build a local MCP SSE server that gives PM, Dev-A, and Dev-B Claude Code sessions native `post_message`/`read_messages`/`list_pending` tools, eliminating manual copy-paste during multi-agent development lifts.
+
+**Architecture:** A single Node.js process hosts an HTTP server with SSE transport for the MCP protocol. Three named in-memory FIFO queues (one per role) hold consume-once messages. A `start.sh` launcher prints copy-paste instructions (default) or spawns a tmux/kitty layout (flags). The multi-agent-kickoff skill templates get a `<<RELAY_PARAGRAPH>>` placeholder injected so every future lift prompt auto-includes relay instructions.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Node.js v25, `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` (MCP + SSE transport), `tsx` (dev dep, runs TypeScript directly), Node built-in `node:test` runner. No Express, no Hono, no Zod as a direct dep.
+

+# Multi-Agent Development Paradigm
+
+This repo uses a three-terminal workflow for large development lifts: one Claude Code session acts as **PM** and two act as **senior developers** (Dev-A, Dev-B), each working in their own git worktree on a parallel feature branch.
+
+A local relay MCP server eliminates manual message copying between terminals — agents call `post_message`/`read_messages` instead of asking the user to copy-paste.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+| Role | Terminal | Branch | Responsibilities |
+|------|----------|--------|-----------------|
+| PM | 1 | `main` (read-only) | Drive doc-audit follow-ups, review PRs, write CHANGELOG, authorize merges and tagging |
+| Dev-A | 2 | `feature/<release>-plan-a-*` | Implement Plan A tasks in their own worktree |
+| Dev-B | 3 | `feature/<release>-plan-b-*` | Implement Plan B tasks in their own worktree |
+| Relay server | 4 | — | Message bus; Ctrl-C to stop at end of lift |
+
+**User's job:** authorize merges (the PM asks), resolve escalations the PM can't handle, and watch the streams. You are no longer the message bus.
+
+---
+
+## Starting a lift
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- [ ] Kickoff prompts exist in `docs/superpowers/coordination/` (generate with the `multi-agent-kickoff` skill if not)
+- [ ] No uncommitted changes in main that would confuse the devs
+- [ ] `tools/relay/` is present (run `ls tools/relay/` to confirm)
+
+### Launch sequence
+
+```bash
+# 1. Start the relay server (this terminal becomes the relay log)
+tools/relay/start.sh           # prints copy-paste instructions, then starts server
+
+# Optional: use a multiplexer to auto-open all four terminals
+tools/relay/start.sh --tmux    # creates tmux session "relay-lift" with 4 windows
+tools/relay/start.sh --kitty   # creates kitty tab "relay" + 3 windows
+```
+
+`start.sh` prints the paths to the three kickoff prompt files. In each Claude Code terminal, run `cat <path>` and paste everything below the `---` line as the first message.
+
+---
+
+## Coordination protocol
+
+Agents communicate by posting structured blocks to each other's inboxes. Four message kinds:
+
+| Kind | Block header | When used |
+|------|-------------|-----------|
+| `status` | `## STATUS UPDATE — DEV-*` | After completing a task, getting blocked, or reaching a review-ready state |
+| `question` | `## QUESTION TO PM — DEV-*` | When a dev needs PM input mid-task |
+| `directive` | `## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-*` | When PM instructs a dev to proceed, hold, rescope, or approve a PR |
+| `free` | (none) | Ad-hoc messages not covered by the above |
+
+A well-formed `status` block:
+
+```
+## STATUS UPDATE — DEV-B
+Time: 2026-05-02T14:30:00-07:00
+Branch: feature/v0.5.0-plan-b-extension-ux
+Task: P4 / error-copy map
+Status: DONE
+Last commit: abc1234 feat(extension): centralize ERROR_COPY map
+Tests: green
+Notes: No issues. Ready for PM review of P4 before starting B1.
+```
+
+---
+
+## Using the relay tools
+
+All three Claude Code sessions have these tools available when the relay server is running:
+
+```
+post_message(from, to, kind, body)   → { id }
+read_messages(for)                   → RelayMessage[]   (drains inbox)
+list_pending(for)                    → { count, kinds } (non-destructive)
+```
+
+Typical dev flow per task:
+
+```
+1. read_messages(for="dev-b")           # check for directives before starting
+2. ... do the work ...
+3. post_message(from="dev-b", to="pm", kind="status", body="## STATUS UPDATE...")
+```
+
+Typical PM flow:
+
+```
+1. read_messages(for="pm")             # see what devs posted
+2. ... review ...
+3. post_message(from="pm", to="dev-b", kind="directive", body="## DIRECTIVE TO DEV-B...")
+```
+
+---
+
+## If the relay server isn't running
+
+Claude Code will show a yellow MCP connection warning for the `relay` server. The tools will be unavailable.
+
+Agents fall back to the manual protocol: they emit the structured blocks as text and ask the user to copy-paste them to the relevant terminal. This is slower but fully functional — the coordination protocol works either way.
+
+To restart a crashed server mid-lift:
+
+```bash
+tools/relay/start.sh
+```
+
+In-flight messages are lost on restart. Any agent with unread messages should re-post them.
+
+---
+
+## Generating kickoff prompts
+
+Use the `multi-agent-kickoff` skill (in the `superpowers` plugin). It auto-discovers the spec and plans for the release, substitutes all placeholders including the relay paragraph, and writes files to `docs/superpowers/coordination/`.
+
+The skill reminder: run `tools/relay/start.sh` **before** opening the three Claude Code sessions — the MCP tools need the server to be up when each session initializes.
+
+---
+
+## Ending a lift
+
+1. PM emits `REVIEW-COMPLETE` and `MERGE-APPROVED` for each dev's PR
+2. User merges each PR (the PM session does `gh pr merge` with user authorization)
+3. PM tags the release (only after explicit user `yes`)
+4. Ctrl-C the relay terminal — all in-memory messages are discarded
+
+---
+
+## Roles and boundaries (quick reference)
+
+**PM must not:** write feature code, merge without user authorization, tag without user approval, run `git push --force` / `git reset --hard` without asking.
+
+**Devs must not:** merge their branch to main, push `--force`, run `git reset --hard` without asking.
+
+**User must:** authorize all merges and the release tag. Everything else is delegated.

+## Task 7: Update `multi-agent-kickoff` skill
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `~/.claude/skills/multi-agent-kickoff/templates/pm-prompt.md`
+- Modify: `~/.claude/skills/multi-agent-kickoff/templates/dev-prompt.md`
+- Modify: `~/.claude/skills/multi-agent-kickoff/SKILL.md`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Read current templates**
+
+```bash
+cat ~/.claude/skills/multi-agent-kickoff/templates/pm-prompt.md
+cat ~/.claude/skills/multi-agent-kickoff/templates/dev-prompt.md
+```
+
+Note where the "Setup" section ends in each template. The relay paragraph goes right after it (before "Required reading").
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add `<<RELAY_PARAGRAPH>>` to `pm-prompt.md`**
+
+In `~/.claude/skills/multi-agent-kickoff/templates/pm-prompt.md`, find the "## Setup" section and add the placeholder block immediately after it (before the "## Required reading" heading):
+
+```markdown
+<<RELAY_PARAGRAPH>>
+```
+
+The generated output for this placeholder (substituted by the skill at generation time) is:
+
+```markdown
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; `from` is always `"pm"` for you
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="pm"` before each action
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm`, `dev-a`, `dev-b`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. After sending any directive, call `post_message(from="pm", to="dev-a", kind="directive", body="...")`.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add `<<RELAY_PARAGRAPH>>` to `dev-prompt.md`**
+
+In `~/.claude/skills/multi-agent-kickoff/templates/dev-prompt.md`, find the "## Setup" section and add immediately after it (before "## Required reading"):
+
+```markdown
+<<RELAY_PARAGRAPH>>
+```
+
+The generated output for this placeholder is role-specific (uses `<<DEV_ROLE>>`):
+
+```markdown
+## Relay server
+
+A message-bus MCP server is running on `localhost:7331`. You have three native tools:
+
+- `post_message(from, to, kind, body)` — push a message; your `from` is always `"<<DEV_ROLE>>"`
+- `read_messages(for)` — drain your inbox; call with `for="<<DEV_ROLE>>"` before each task
+- `list_pending(for)` — check inbox count without consuming
+
+Recipients: `pm`, `dev-a`, `dev-b`. Use these instead of asking the user to copy-paste. Before starting each task: `read_messages(for="<<DEV_ROLE>>")`. After emitting any status/question block: `post_message(from="<<DEV_ROLE>>", to="pm", kind="status"|"question", body="...")`.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update `SKILL.md` — add two entries to the placeholder reference table**
+
+In `~/.claude/skills/multi-agent-kickoff/SKILL.md`, find the "### Common to all prompts" section of the Placeholder reference and add:
+
+```markdown
+- `<<RELAY_PARAGRAPH>>` — the relay server instruction block (substituted from the template above). For the PM prompt, `from` is hardcoded to `"pm"`. For dev prompts, uses `<<DEV_ROLE>>`.
+```
+
+In the "### Per-dev" section, add:
+
+```markdown
+- `<<DEV_ROLE>>` — lowercase relay role name, e.g. `dev-a`, `dev-b`. Derived from `<<DEV_LETTER>>` by lowercasing and prepending `dev-`. Set when `<<DEV_LETTER>>` is set.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Update `SKILL.md` — step 8 (kickoff instructions)**
+
+Find step 8 in the Process section ("Print kickoff instructions") and prepend a bullet:
+
+```markdown
+8. **Print kickoff instructions.** Tell the user exactly what to do:
+   - **Start the relay server first:** `tools/relay/start.sh` (or `--tmux`/`--kitty` for auto-layout). The server must be running before the sessions open so the MCP tools initialize correctly.
+   - Open three terminal windows (or panes — their choice of multiplexer)
+   ...rest of existing bullets unchanged...
+```
+
+Also update the "After generation" section — change bullet 4 ("From that point on, they're the message bus...") to:
+
+```markdown
+4. The relay server handles message routing — agents call `post_message`/`read_messages` directly. The user only needs to step in for escalations the PM can't resolve, or if the relay server is down (manual fallback: copy-paste the block to the relevant terminal as before)
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit skill changes**
+
+The skill files live outside the git repo, so no git commit needed. Verify the changes look right:
+
+```bash
+grep -n "RELAY_PARAGRAPH\|DEV_ROLE\|relay server" ~/.claude/skills/multi-agent-kickoff/SKILL.md | head -10
+grep -n "RELAY_PARAGRAPH" ~/.claude/skills/multi-agent-kickoff/templates/pm-prompt.md
+grep -n "RELAY_PARAGRAPH" ~/.claude/skills/multi-agent-kickoff/templates/dev-prompt.md
+```
+
+Expected: each grep returns at least one match.
+
+---
+
+## Final verification
+
+- [ ] **Run queue tests one more time from repo root**
+
+```bash
+cd tools/relay && node --import=tsx/esm --test queue.test.ts
+```
+
+Expected: 5 passing, 0 failing.
+
+- [ ] **Start server and verify it binds**
+
+```bash
+tools/relay/start.sh &
+sleep 1
+curl -s --max-time 1 http://127.0.0.1:7331/sse | head -1 || true
+kill %1
+```
+
+Expected: `data:` line appears (SSE stream started), then server killed cleanly.
+
+- [ ] **Verify MCP config is present**
+
+```bash
+python3 -c "import json; d=json.load(open('.claude/settings.json')); print(d['mcpServers']['relay'])"
+```
+
+Expected: `{'type': 'sse', 'url': 'http://localhost:7331/sse'}`
+
+- [ ] **Verify skill placeholders were added**
+
+```bash
+grep "RELAY_PARAGRAPH" ~/.claude/skills/multi-agent-kickoff/templates/pm-prompt.md \
+                       ~/.claude/skills/multi-agent-kickoff/templates/dev-prompt.md
+```
+
+Expected: one match per file.
