docs: promote overview.md to root ARCHITECTURE.md + add update discipline table

Move docs/architecture/overview.md to ARCHITECTURE.md at the repo root —
it is the primary cross-codebase architecture doc (four-codebase diagram,
inter-codebase contracts, secrets map, build matrix, test strategy, where-to-look
table) and belongs at the root alongside STATUS.md, ROADMAP.md, etc.

Update relative paths inside the file (../../crates/ → crates/, etc.).
Update CHANGELOG.md's one active reference to the old path.

Add a "Living docs — update discipline" table to CLAUDE.md that maps every
ALLCAPS.md file to the area it covers and the trigger for updating it. This
closes the loop on the ALLCAPS.md documentation system.

+## Encrypted blob (`.enc` files)
+
+Every encrypted file — `manifest.enc`, `settings.enc`, `items/<id>.enc`, `attachments/<item-id>/<aid>.enc` — uses the layout produced by `relicario_core::crypto::encrypt` (`crypto.rs`):
+
+```
+┌─────────┬────────────────────────┬──────────────────┬──────────────────┐
+│ version │         nonce          │    ciphertext     │    auth tag      │

+└─────────┴────────────────────────┴──────────────────┴──────────────────┘
+```
+
+- `VERSION_BYTE = 0x02` (`crypto.rs:59`). Any blob starting with `0x01` is rejected with `UnsupportedFormatVersion { found: 0x01, expected: 0x02 }`.
+- Minimum valid blob length: 41 bytes (1 + 24 + 0 + 16).
+- Nonces are always fresh from `OsRng` — no caller-supplied nonces.
+- Full diagram: `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` § "Encrypted File Format".

+    "argon2_m": 65536,
+    "argon2_t": 3,
+    "argon2_p": 4
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Parsed via `ParamsFile { kdf: KdfParams }` in `session.rs`. The `kdf` nesting is intentional — `format_version`, `aead`, and `salt_path` co-exist for forward-compat probing. Do not flatten. Production defaults: `m=65536` (64 MiB), `t=3`, `p=4`. Tests use `m=256, t=1, p=1`.
+
+## `.relicario/salt`
+
+32 raw bytes. Not secret. Generated once at vault init via `OsRng`. Feeds Argon2id as the KDF salt.
+
+## Manifest (`manifest.enc`)
+
+Decrypts to JSON matching the `Manifest` struct (`manifest.rs`).
+
+- **Schema version:** `MANIFEST_SCHEMA_VERSION = 2` (`manifest.rs:12`). v1 manifests (pre-typed-items) fail to parse and are not supported.
+- **`ManifestEntry` fields:** `id`, `title`, `tags`, `favorite`, `group`, `icon_hint`, `modified`, `trashed_at`, `attachment_summaries`.
+- The manifest is rebuilt from scratch on every `upsert` — it can never drift from the source-of-truth item files.
+- Supports case-insensitive title/tag search without decrypting any item.

+## `.relicario/devices.json`
+
+```json
+[
+  { "name": "laptop", "public_key": "<hex-encoded ed25519 public key>" }
+]
+```
+
+An empty array (`[]`) puts the pre-receive hook in bootstrap mode (all pushes accepted). Both `devices.json` and `revoked.json` must be empty for bootstrap mode to activate — a non-empty `revoked.json` alone forces strict verification.
+
+## `.relicario/revoked.json`
+
+```json
+[
+  { "name": "old-laptop", "public_key": "<hex>", "revoked_at": 1746000000 }
+]
+```
+
+Commits by `public_key` at or after `revoked_at` (Unix seconds) are rejected by the pre-receive hook. Commits before `revoked_at` remain valid (they were authorized at the time).
+
+## Item IDs and Field IDs
+
+| Kind | Length | Entropy | Source |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `ItemId` | 16 hex chars | 64 bits | `OsRng` |
+| `FieldId` | 16 hex chars | 64 bits | `OsRng` |
+| `AttachmentId` | 16 hex chars | content-addressed | first 8 bytes of `SHA-256(plaintext)` |

+GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+Version 3, 29 June 2007
+
+Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+Preamble
+
+The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works.
+
+The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to your programs, too.
+
+When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
+
+For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
+
+Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
+
+For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions.
+
+Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
+
+Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
+
+The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
+
+TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+0. Definitions.
+
+“This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be individuals or organizations.
+
+To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.
+
+A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.
+
+To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+1. Source Code.
+The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a work.
+
+A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
+
+The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
+
+2. Basic Permissions.
+All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.
+
+3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.
+
+When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
+
+4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+     a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+     b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all notices”.
+
+     c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+     d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.
+
+A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
+
+6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
+
+     a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.
+
+     b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+     c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
+
+     d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+     e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.
+
+A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work.
+
+A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, “normally used” refers to a typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.
+
+If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).
+
+The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network.
+
+Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+7. Additional Terms.
+“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+     a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+     b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+     c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+     d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or
+
+     e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+     f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.
+
+All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.
+
+Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.
+
+8. Termination.
+You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
+
+However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
+
+Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.
+
+9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+11. Patents.
+A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor's “contributor version”.
+
+A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
+
+Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
+
+If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.
+
+A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
+Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such.
+
+14. Revised Versions of this License.
+The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
+
+Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
+
+15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+16. Limitation of Liability.
+IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+     <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+     Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+     This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
+
+     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+     You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+     <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+     This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+     This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an “about box”.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. But first, please read <https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.

 This means your reference image can live on your Instagram, your personal website, or anywhere else. It's useless without your passphrase.
 
+## Recovery: what if I lose my reference image?
+
+Without your reference image, the vault is undecryptable — that's the security model. But it also makes a lost or corrupted image a single point of failure.
+
+The mitigation is the **recovery QR**: a printable QR code that wraps your image secret behind a separate recovery passphrase you choose. If you ever lose access to the reference JPEG, scan or transcribe the QR, provide the recovery passphrase, and recover the 256-bit image secret. Combined with your normal vault passphrase, this restores access to the vault.
+
+```bash
+# Print a recovery QR (after the vault is unlocked).
+# You'll be prompted for a separate recovery passphrase.
+relicario recovery-qr generate
+
+# Recover the image_secret from a stored QR payload.
+relicario recovery-qr unwrap
+```
+
+The QR payload is an XChaCha20-Poly1305 envelope keyed by Argon2id over a domain-separated input (prefixed with `b"relicario-recovery-v1\0"`), so even if you reuse your vault passphrase as your recovery passphrase, the wrap key cannot collide with a vault master key. Both salt and nonce are freshly randomized per call, so two QRs printed from the same passphrase yield different bytes — the printed copy doesn't leak whether you've printed others.
+
+Recommended practice: print the QR, store it offline (safe, deposit box), and forget about it. The recovery passphrase is what protects the printed copy from being useful to someone who finds it.

+  Spec: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-27-relicario-vault-tab-design.md`
+- **Phase 4: command palette** — ⌘K global search + action dispatch across the vault tab
+- **Trash & history UI** — trash view, item history viewer, field-history viewer
+- **Device manager UI** — device registration + revocation in vault tab
+- **CLI restructure** — subcommand reorganisation, interactive TUI mode  
+  Spec: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md`

+
+## Non-goals (explicitly deferred or cancelled)
+
+- **Reference-image rotation** — changing the image factor without re-embedding. Back-burner, not cancelled.
+- **Per-entry subkeys** — no real-world benefit at family-vault scale; see design rationale in `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`.
+- **libgit2 / gitoxide** — shell-out to `git` is intentional; see `crates/relicario-cli/ARCHITECTURE.md`.

+
+## What shipped in v0.5.0 (2026-05-02)
+
+Three release trains merged into one tag:
+
+**Security hardening (Plan A):**
+- Pre-receive hook actually verifies signatures now — device-auth was a no-op before (S1)
+- Backup-restore tar unpacking hardened against path traversal and zip-bomb (S2)
+- `RELICARIO_*` env-var surface audited; `RELICARIO_NO_GROUPS_CACHE` gated to debug builds (S3)

+**Features (originally v0.3.0 + v0.4.0):**
+- `relicario backup export/restore` with `.relbak` format
+- `relicario import lastpass` (LastPass CSV importer)
+- Device authentication: ed25519 commit signing + Gitea deploy-key management
+- Fullscreen UX Phase 1: visual foundation (sidebar + pane shell, dark theme)
+- Fullscreen UX Phase 2A: smart inputs (password coloring, inline generator popover, custom-fields editor)
+
+## Recent work (post-v0.5.0, landed on main)
+
+**Plan B multi-stream refactor (2026-05-09 to present):**
+- `prompt_or_flag<T>` + builder compression — compressed `build_*_item` helpers (Stream A)
+- `Vault::after_manifest_change` wrapper, single canonical `ParamsFile` in session (Stream B)
+- Core/WASM seam: `base32_decode_lenient`, `parse_month_year`, `guess_mime` added to WASM exports; CLI parsers migrated to `relicario-core::parse` (Stream C)
+- CLI: `gen` alias for `generate`, `-l`/`-w` short flags, batched purge
+- `base32` module extracted from core, two duplicate RFC-4648 impls deduplicated
+- License switched to GPL-3.0-or-later
+
+## In progress (uncommitted on main)
+
+- Vault lock screen logo (`extension/src/vault/vault.ts`)
+- Vault container max-width constraint + list-pane width fix (`extension/src/vault/vault.css`)
+- README name fix (Aaron D. Lee)
+
+## Up next
+

+# 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

+# 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

+# 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.
+
+A PM in another terminal coordinates you with Dev-A (Plan B Phase 3) and Dev-C (Plan B Phases 7, 8). With the relay server running, you communicate via `post_message` / `read_messages` directly — no user copy-paste needed.

+- Do not change CLI external behaviour — all existing `crates/relicario-cli/tests/*` integration tests must pass without modification.
+- 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
+- When you start a new phase

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>
+Branch: feature/cli-tail-stream-c-core-wasm-seam
+Task: <phase number / sub-step>
+Status: STARTED | IN-PROGRESS | DONE | BLOCKED | REVIEW-READY
+Last commit: <short sha + first line>
+Tests: <green | red (which failed) | N/A>
+Notes: <WHAT and WHY — 3 sentences max>
+```
+
+**For 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
+```
+
+## 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 7-8
+
+You don't need PM permission to:
+
+- Execute sub-steps per Plan B's Phases 7 and 8
+- 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 7-8
+- A test you can't make green after honest debugging
+- A discovered bug not in Plan B
+- A fourth base32 implementation or a parser surfaces beyond DEV-A P2 + Plan B's three
+- 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-c
+cargo test --workspace
+cargo clippy --workspace
+cargo build -p relicario-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown
+cd extension && npm run test  # verify wasm.d.ts mirror compiles against TS callers
+```
+
+All four must be green / clean. Then push and open the PR:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/alee/Sources/relicario.cli-tail-stream-c
+git push -u origin feature/cli-tail-stream-c-core-wasm-seam
+gh pr create --base main --head feature/cli-tail-stream-c-core-wasm-seam --title "refactor(core,wasm): migrate parsers + base32 dedup + WASM exports (Plan B Phases 7, 8)" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
+## Summary
+- Phase 7 — `parse_month_year`, `base32_decode_lenient`, `guess_mime` migrated from CLI to `relicario-core` (`MonthYear::parse`, new `pub(crate) mod base32`, new `mime::guess_for_extension`); base32 dedup folds `crates/relicario-core/src/item.rs:255-275` and `import_lastpass.rs:202-220` into the new shared module (Steam alphabet untouched per neighbour comment)
+- Phase 8 — `#[wasm_bindgen]` exports for the three migrated parsers; `extension/src/wasm.d.ts` mirror updated in the same commit; snake_case JS naming consistent with existing exports
+- The CLI's `parse.rs` is a thin re-export shim; existing CLI callsites unchanged
+
+## Plan B Phases 7-8
+Implements `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-04-cli-restructure-design.md` Phases 7 and 8.
+See `docs/superpowers/coordination/2026-05-09-cli-tail-coordinator.md` for cycle-2 partition.

+# 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)
+
+You do NOT need to read Plans A or C in detail — they're out of cycle-2 scope. Skim the partition coordinator's "Cross-stream dependencies" section so you know what conflicts to watch for.
+
+## Stream overview (from coordinator)
+
+| Stream | Branch | Owner | Plan B phases | Theme |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| A | `feature/cli-tail-stream-a-prompt-helpers` | DEV-A | Phase 3 | `prompt_or_flag<T>` + `build_*_item` compression |
+| B | `feature/cli-tail-stream-b-session-manifest` | DEV-B | Phases 4, 5, 6 | `Vault::after_manifest_change`, canonical `ParamsFile`, batched purge |
+| 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.
