   Handoff note for whoever picks this up next. The overnight Claude run has stopped, and Kyle is moving issue work to Cursor.

   • Branch: none
   • PR: none
   • State: Skipped: No owner decision recorded (intake note only); open questions on Basis: judgment and the page basis field; overlaps fix(planning): word interview questions so yes accepts the recommendation #7036
   • Next step: Pick this up once the open question on the issue has an owner decision recorded.

   Where a branch is listed it is pushed, so it can be taken over as is. A draft PR shows a red ci-status by design until it is marked ready.

   Decision recorded. The owner approved applying independently verified recommendations on 2026-10-12.

   • Drop Basis: judgment as a valid interview basis, replacing it with an evidence list plus a one-line inference? → Yes, as the issue asks
     Basis: plugins/planning/skills/interview/SKILL.md:175 (current judgment allowance); plugins/planning/skills/interview/context/loop.md:67 (Withheld: line); AGENTS.md Team standards (judgment allowed)
   • Can the Stance-section digest in interview-defenses.test.sh be recomputed in an attended session for this change? → Yes, attended recompute
     Basis: fix(planning): word interview questions so yes accepts the recommendation #7036 body ("none of the six with-arm traces read it"; maintainer approved recomputing the digest, attended, 2026-10-11)
   • Drop Basis: judgment as a valid interview basis? → Yes for /planning:interview only: tighten SKILL.md:175 and loop.md:67 to an evidence list plus a one-line inference, and leave the shared context/recommendation-basis.md unchanged. Changing the shared contract is a separate cross-plugin convention decision. (added by verification)
     Basis: scripts/cross-plugin-source-registry.txt:116-121; plugins/planning/context/recommendation-basis.md:25-31; md5 identical across planning/debugging/work-items copies (origin/main)
   • Digest recompute scope → Attended recompute of both the SKILL.md Stance digest and the loop.md Step 2 digest. (added by verification)
     Basis: plugins/planning/tests/interview-defenses.test.sh:498-502 and :634 (origin/main)

   The owner asks that interview recommendations always list their facts and a one-line inference, ending bare Basis: judgment. No PR; the 2026-10-11 handoff skipped it for lack of a recorded decision, and the rule sits in the digest-pinned Stance section that #7036 also edited.

   Verification notes:

   • Q1 'Yes, as the issue asks' includes the issue's acceptance criterion to change context/recommendation-basis.md. That file is a synced cross-plugin copy (13 plugins ship it, byte-identical; canonical plugins/discipline/context/recommendation-basis.md; drift-checked via scripts/cross-plugin-source-registry.txt:116-121), and its three outcomes include judgment (lines 25-31), matching the org convention and team standards. Editing planning's copy fails the drift check; editing the canonical changes 13 plugins' contract, which is cross-plugin, not C3. The record's own 'why' (a stricter interview rule does not contradict the floor) only holds if the change stays in interview files.
   • Q2 names only the Stance digest. loop.md:67 (Frontier rounds, item 4, which also permits Basis: judgment) sits inside the pinned 'loop.md Step 2 section' (interview-defenses.test.sh:634), so that digest needs an attended recompute too.
   • SKILL.md:175 is inside the pinned Stance section (SKILL.md:90 to 315; test.sh:498-502), as the record says.

   Verified by an independent fresh-context check (refuted, risk low): gh issue view 6728 (handoff 2026-10-11: skipped, no owner decision); plugins/planning/skills/interview/SKILL.md:170-178 and section headings; plugins/planning/skills/interview/context/loop.md:62-70 and headings; plugins/planning/context/recommendation-basis.md; scripts/cross-plugin-source-registry.txt:116-121; plugins/planning/tests/interview-defenses.test.sh pin_section list

   Admission to an agent lane stays with the work-class rules and owner ratification.
