Landscape sweep: Opus judgment workers without WebFetch (context-mode fetches, skills kept); repository check ignores Codex's empty .git mount targets - #398

…_search at its default limit

The token lane counted smoke 3's tool results (wf_c7bc3ee8-c16). Fetch
routing was fixed by #398 (3 of 3 through ctx_fetch_and_index), but
containment was not: 45 of 134 results were over 5 KB, carrying 79.6% of
result bytes. ctx_execute had 27 of 52 over 5 KB and ctx_search 11 of 20.
The likely causes are ctx_execute without `intent` and high ctx_search
limits. The #381 targets are M3 at no more than 1 non-exception result
over 5 KB per child with no more than 20% of bytes, and M5 at no more than
10% of ctx results over 5 KB.

The fix uses context-mode's own contract. The ctx_execute and
ctx_batch_execute `intent` parameter: "When provided and output is large
(>5KB), indexes output into knowledge base and returns section titles +
previews — not full content". ctx_search's default limit is 3. The worker
body (adoption/agents/claude/landscape-sweep-worker.md and its
byte-identical .claude/agents copy) now requires an intent on every
ctx_execute or ctx_batch_execute call, ctx_search at its default limit
with specific queries, and derived answers only.

The token lane owns the host token-lanes block (the same rule) and the
enforcement fallback: a PreToolUse refusal of ctx_execute without intent,
used only if the next one-layer smoke shows prose alone does not move
M3/M5.
Tests: test_install_claude_profile + test_landscape_sweep_harness OK.
validate.py passed.

Repair round for the verification-line addendum and the skills-trial
carrier-condition addendum (findings V-F1, R-F1, R-F3, R-F4, R-F5, R-F6,
R-F7, GAP-3, GAP-6, GAP-7).

Skills-trial addendum:
- The review no longer "replaces" the count-based prune rule. It adds a
  with/without comparison that varies the builder's preload for the
  skill's Claude listing; trial.prune_rule (adoption/skills/manifest.json
  L30) and tools/skill-usage/skill_usage.py L516-538 still apply, and
  Codex enablement stays under that rule. A disagreement is written into
  the manifest update the trial window end already requires.
- Other sources and role changes: the landscape-sweep templates name both
  skills from 1b0e459 (templates.json common; build_args.py L59
  TEMPLATE_SKILLS), for the Claude workers and the GPT-6 lane; the C0
  baseline counts (child-lane baseline README L128-130) match that list
  without proving cause; #398 (5483412) and #402 (d022295) change the
  sweep workers' type and model and the builder's model inside C1.
- Boundaries: the installer writes no install record (shutil.copy2 at
  install_claude_profile.py L113, L143 keeps the source mtime), and #381
  step 2 freezes hashes, not install times.

Verification-line addendum:
- The builder runs model: opus, which is Opus 5.5 on this host since
  September 22 (grand-catalog-handbook.md L242-244), so the Opus 5 advice
  reaches it through the 5.5 guide's L9; before #402 it ran sonnet.
- #381 records hashes, not an install time; a Supersedes note corrects
  the qmd addendum's L389 wording the same way.
- Overturn names what each comparison varies: default-block line 13, a
  non-Opus child set, the builder line with the preload held on, or a
  prompting-guide reversal.
- Line 13's quote, the local file:line policy, the re-read of every
  documentation quote at its cited line (2026-09-28 08:55Z), the
  installed SKILL.md hash check and the control's own returned lines.

…l line (AN-15, after #447) (#456)

* Token-lanes carrier: evidence line replaces the verification-skill instruction

Default block line 13 now asks for evidence (the command and what it
returned, or the file:line read) and keeps the search-first sentence:
4,094 -> 4,088 bytes against the unchanged 4,100-byte bound (AN-15).
The builder block drops its verification sentence (2,883 -> 2,747
bytes): isolated-builder.md:7-9 preloads the skill and :12 names it.

Sources: code.claude.com/docs/en/best-practices.md L52 (show evidence);
platform.claude.com prompting-claude-opus-5.md L61, L81 (remove explicit
verification instructions), prompting-claude-opus-5-5.md L9 (carried
forward), claude-prompting-best-practices.md L780 (Opus 5 exception).

Handbook mirror: carrier line, its sources paragraph naming only
search-first, and the builder table row and variant. Tests: the default
key phrase becomes "Show evidence before a success claim", the builder
drops the skill phrase, and no block may name the withdrawn skill.
SHA256SUMS refreshed for both blocks. No installer run.

* Decision records: verification-line addendum and skills-trial carrier conditions

Token-lanes decision, addendum 2026-09-28: why the default carrier line
now asks only for evidence (Opus 5 guide L61, L81; Opus 5.5 guide L9;
prompting best practices L780; Claude Code best practices L52), why the
builder line is removed on its own merits (isolated-builder.md L5, L7-9,
L12; sub-agents reference L600), sizes, the failing-first control, the
non-Opus boundary, alternatives, #381 freeze and overturn.

Skills-trial record, addendum 2026-09-28: condition log C0-C3 (#378,
2026-10-25 review rule for verification-before-completion: a
with/without comparison on frozen builder tasks through an upstream
harness named with its pin (tokens, elapsed time, review-found defects).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <[email protected]>

* Decision records: date the builder preload boundary; drop an unretained count

Skills-trial condition log: isolated-builder's verification-before-completion
preload and the body line that names it came from #376 (623d34f,
2026-09-27T03:38:47Z per TZ=UTC git log -S on
adoption/agents/claude/isolated-builder.md), a boundary inside C0, not a
constant across every condition. The one recorded install time is
attributed as measured-gaps.md reports it (the coordinator's local
measurement), without naming a host. Token-lanes addendum: the community
alternative keeps superpowers as the verifiable example and drops a survey
count that is not retained in the repository.

* Token-lanes carrier: tag the evidence sentence's upstream item; narrow the no-verification claim

Repair round for the verification-line change (review findings R-F2, R-F7).

- token-lanes-block.md line 13 moves "(code.claude.com best practices)" to
  follow "the command and what it returned", the item Claude Code best
  practices L52 names (https://code.claude.com/docs/en/best-practices.md,
  re-read 2026-09-28). The file:line alternative is local policy, not in
  L52. Zero-byte reorder: the block stays 4,088 bytes and line 13 295.
- SHA256SUMS lists the new block hash; `sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS` passes.
- Handbook: the mirrored line follows, and the sources paragraph records
  the file:line alternative as local policy. It now says the carrier gives
  no instruction to verify finished work and names no verification skill,
  since the codebase-memory line still checks caller lists (handbook L264).
- Test comment: WITHDRAWN_PHRASES is a literal skill-name check, not a
  check for every verification wording.

* Token-lanes record: the no-command-output case needs neither Bash nor ctx_execute

security-reviewer has no Bash but runs commands through Context Mode's
ctx_execute (Codex review), so the rationale is qualified to children with no
command runner.
