 - **Agent pattern**: All agents extend `BaseAgent` with `name` (AgentName), `description`, `workflow`, and `execute(context: AgentContext): Promise<AgentResult>`. Agents delegate to `context.backend` when available, fail honestly when not.
 - **No runtime validation library**: Uses plain TypeScript types, not Zod schemas (Zod is a dependency but types are hand-defined)
 - **File I/O**: Use `src/utils/file.ts` helpers (`writeFile`, `readFile`, `ensureDir`, `readJSON`, `writeJSON`) instead of raw `fs` calls in agent/business logic

 ## Current State
 
-- **v0.4.0**: Backends module (OllamaLocal, OllamaCloud, Opencode), learnship references removed, verification layers migrated from .planning/ to .ci/
+- **v0.11.0**: Multi-Session & Persona Specialization — AgentSession with file-based git locking, SessionManager with concurrent session batches, PersonaLoader reading ci-*.md files, TaskDecomposer with territory conflict resolution, `ciagent sessions` CLI (list/status/cancel/cleanup), `--session <id>` flag on `ciagent run`, `---ci--- session:` field, `sessions` and `personas` config sections, 4 built-in personas (lead-developer, data-engineer, backend-engineer, frontend-engineer), territory enforcement with warn/strict modes
-- **New modules**: commit-parser (`---ci---` YAML block extraction/parsing), commit-builder (structured commit message generation), git-context (project state reconstruction from git log + branches), git-branch (phase/milestone branch lifecycle), ci-files (`.ci/` long-lived reference file management)
+- **v0.10.0**: Ideate & Multi-Project — 3-tier ideation engine, `ciagent ideate` command, multi-project execution, `---ci--- project:` blocks, E2E tests
-- **Commit schema**: Every CI-generated commit contains a `---ci---` YAML block with phase, milestone, status, decisions, escalations, requirements, lessons, and compound metadata
+- **v0.9.0**: Integration & hardening — OpenAI and Anthropic backends, all 19 agents with intrinsic mechanical logic, E2E v0.9 integration tests, parallel agent execution
+- **v0.8.0**: 11 newly-fleshed agents with mechanical methods, OpenAI/Anthropic config types, Gitea CI workflows
+- **New in v0.11**: Multi-session support with `SessionManager` and `AgentSession` for independent project pipelines running concurrently, execute-phase persona specialization (`lead-developer`, `data-engineer`, `backend-engineer`, `frontend-engineer`) with territory enforcement and task decomposition, `ciagent sessions` CLI command with list/status/cancel/cleanup subcommands, `--session <id>` flag on `ciagent run`, `---ci--- session:` commit metadata field, `sessions` and `personas` config sections
+- **v0.10.0**: Ideate & Multi-Project — 3-tier ideation engine, `ciagent ideate` command, multi-project execution, `---ci--- project:` blocks, E2E tests
+- **New backends (v0.9)**: OpenAIBackend (gpt-4o, API key auth, OpenAI-Organization header), AnthropicBackend (Claude, API key auth, anthropic-version header, tool use translation)
+- **Config expansion (v0.11)**: `sessions` section (max_concurrent_sessions, session_timeout_ms, session_isolation), `personas` section (enabled, territory_enforcement, personas[] with name/domain/frameworks/constraints/territory); `---ci--- session:` field in commit blocks
+- **Config expansion (v0.10)**: `ideation` section in config with categories, thresholds, external signals, cross-project, chaos; `active_projects` array; `max_concurrent_projects` in parallelization
+- **Auto-detection order**: opencode → openai → ollama-local → ollama-cloud → anthropic

+- **Integration tests**: E2E v0.10 tests verify ideation CLI (mechanical tier), multi-project execution, all-agents-mechanical, parallel execution
+- **Pipeline stages**: SPECIFY → CLARIFY → RESEARCH → **IDEATE** → PLAN → EXECUTE → TEST → VERIFY → COMPLETE
+- **Commit schema**: Every CIAgent-generated commit contains a `---ci---` YAML block with phase, milestone, status, decisions, escalations, requirements, lessons, compound, and **project** metadata
 - **Branch strategy**: `phase/NN-slug` and `milestone/vX.X-slug` branches encode project structure; merged = complete, active = in progress
-- **Core engine rewrites**: DecisionEngine generates commit messages (not audit JSON), EscalationProtocol commits escalations as git artifacts, OrchestratorAgent uses git log as first impulse
+- **CLI commands**: `init`, `run`, `quick`, `debug`, `verify`, `review`, `status`, `audit`, `clarify`, `rollback`, `ship`, `ideate`, `projects`, `sessions`
-- **Removed**: `.ci/audit/` directory (audit trail is git log), `.planning/` directory (dynamic state derived from git history)
+- **Intelligence backends**: 5 options — OpenAI (LLM), Anthropic (LLM), OllamaLocal (LLM, localhost), OllamaCloud (LLM, remote), Opencode (Agent, --non-interactive). Auto-detection: opencode → openai → ollama-local → ollama-cloud → anthropic.
-- **`.ci/` contents**: `config.json`, `PROJECT.md`, `ARCHITECTURE.md`, `ROADMAP.md`, `REQUIREMENTS.md` — long-lived reference docs updated with discipline
+- **Tests**: 62 test suites, 641 tests covering types, config, decision-engine, escalation, clarify, commit-parser, commit-builder, git-context, git-branch, ciagent-files, ideation, multi-project, session-manager, persona-system, all 4 verification layers, file utils, backends (ollama, openai, anthropic, opencode, tool-registry), agents (all 18 non-orchestrator), zod validation, E2E, parallel execution
-- **Reconstruction test**: An agent with only commit message access can reconstruct project state (phase, decisions, requirements coverage, lessons, escalations)
-- **Verification layers**: All 4 layers implemented — structural, behavioral, security (STRIDE), quality
-- **CLI**: All 11 commands wired up (`init`, `run`, `quick`, `debug`, `verify`, `review`, `status`, `audit`, `clarify`, `rollback`, `ship`)

-# CI — Continuous Intelligence
+# CIAgent — Continuous Intelligence
 
 Fully autonomous, git-native AI-driven software engineering harness.
 
 ## Overview
 
-CI (Continuous Intelligence) is an autonomous-first software engineering harness that eliminates human-in-the-loop overhead while preserving the rigor of guided development. It receives a specification, resolves ambiguities through a single Clarify phase, then executes the full pipeline — research, plan, execute, verify — autonomously.
+CIAgent (Continuous Intelligence) is an autonomous-first software engineering harness that eliminates human-in-the-loop overhead while preserving the rigor of guided development. It receives a specification, resolves ambiguities through a single Clarify phase, then executes the full pipeline — research, plan, execute, verify — autonomously.
 
 **The git log IS the project memory.** Every decision, escalation, lesson learned, and verification result is encoded in commit messages using structured `---ci---` YAML blocks. An agent's first impulse to gather context is `git log`, not file reads. Another agent with access to only commit messages (no code, no diffs) can reconstruct the project state completely.
 
+## Intelligence Backends
+
+CIAgent supports 5 intelligence backends. Set the appropriate environment variable and use `--backend` to select:
+
+| Backend | Setup | Usage |
+|---------|-------|-------|
+| **OpenAI** | `export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...` | `ciagent run --backend openai` |
+| **Anthropic** | `export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...` | `ciagent run --backend anthropic` |
+| **Ollama Local** | `ollama serve` (localhost:11434) | `ciagent run --backend ollama-local` |
+| **Ollama Cloud** | `export OLLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY=...` | `ciagent run --backend ollama-cloud` |
+| **Opencode** | `npm i -g opencode` | `ciagent run --backend opencode` |
+
+Auto-detection (`--backend auto`, the default) tries: opencode → openai → ollama-local → ollama-cloud → anthropic.

+### Ideation
+
+CIAgent includes a built-in ideation engine that discovers improvement opportunities from git-native signals:
+
+1. **Tier 1 — Mechanical**: Mines git history for uncovered requirements, repeated lessons, low-confidence decisions, escalation patterns, coverage gaps, architecture drift, and verification inversions
+2. **Tier 2 — Backend-enriched**: When a backend is available, prioritizes mechanical findings and suggests novel improvements
+3. **Tier 3 — Cross-project**: Mines patterns from other projects in the multi-project registry
+
+```
+ciagent ideate                          # All mechanical tiers
+ciagent ideate --category security      # Security-focused ideas
+ciagent ideate --affected               # Cascade impact from current changes
+ciagent ideate --spec                   # Specification completeness analysis

+ciagent ideate --project all             # Across all active projects
+ciagent ideate --output json             # Machine-readable output
+```
+
+### Multi-Project
+
+CIAgent supports multi-project workflows with `--project` flags:
+
+```bash
+# Initialize multiple projects
+ciagent projects add task-api "Task API"
+ciagent projects add auth-svc "Auth Service"
+
+# Run ideation across all projects
+ciagent ideate --project all
+
+# Run pipeline for a specific project
+ciagent run --project task-api
+
+# Run pipeline across all projects
+ciagent run --project all
+```
+
+Commit messages include project tracking in `---ci---` blocks:
+
+```
+---ci---
+phase: 5
+milestone: v0.10
+project: task-api
+status: execute
+---/ci---
+```

+Your domain is user interface and client-side logic. When implementing tasks:

+2. **Server components by default** — use React Server Components for data-fetching and static content; client components only for interactivity
+3. **Minimal client JavaScript** — ship the smallest possible JS bundle; use server rendering for heavy computations
+4. **Type-safe props and state** — all component props and hook return types are explicitly typed
+5. **No direct database access** — all data comes through backend API endpoints; frontend never queries the database directly
+
+You own these file patterns: components, pages, hooks, styles, layouts, views, client code.
+
+When a territory conflict arises:
+- With backend: adapt to backend's API contract; request changes through shared types module if needed
+- With data: never access the database directly; use backend API endpoints for all data

+2. **Resolve territory conflicts** between personas using domain expertise:
+   - data-backend conflicts: backend gets the file; data provides schema contracts
+   - backend-frontend conflicts: backend defines the API contract; frontend adapts
+   - data-frontend conflicts: data defines schema; frontend accesses through backend APIs only

+4. **Prioritize pragmatism** — battle-tested defaults over novel approaches

 ## Versioning and Releases

+**Every merge to main creates a release. No exceptions.** Versioning follows the milestone type model:
 
-| Version Part | When | Example |
+### Milestone Type and Versioning
-|-------------|------|---------|
-| **Major** (X.0.0) | Project-level refactor or schema change | `v1.0.0` |
-| **Minor** (0.X.0) | Every milestone completion | `v0.3.0` |
-| **Patch** (0.0.X) | Every phase completion | `v0.2.3` |
 
-### Phase completion (patch release)
+The milestone type is determined **before any development work** and governs all versioning for the entire milestone.
 
+**Define semver at milestone start:** establish the version and milestone type before writing code.
+
+Determine milestone type via `getMilestoneType()` which returns `"nfr" | "feature" | "major"`:
+
+| Milestone Type | Condition | Phase release | Milestone release |
+|---------------|-----------|---------------|-------------------|
+| **NFR** | All phases are fix/chore/docs/perf/refactor/test | Patch — `v1.8.1`, `v1.8.2`, ... | None — final patch IS the deliverable |
+| **Feature** | At least one phase has new features (`feat`) | Patch — `v1.8.1`, `v1.8.2`, ... | Next minor — `v1.9.0` |
+| **Major** | Breaking schema changes or complete refactor | Minor — `v2.1.0`, `v2.2.0`, ... | Major — `v3.0.0` |
+
+**Tag rules (CRITICAL):**
+- Milestone tags are always the NEXT version, never the base:
+  - Feature: patches v0.5.1–v0.5.5 → milestone tag is v0.6.0 (NOT v0.5.0)
+  - Major: minors v0.3.0, v0.4.0, v0.5.0 → milestone tag is v1.0.0
+  - NFR: no milestone tag — the final patch release IS the deliverable
+- Tags must be strictly greater than all existing tags on the same major.minor line
+- NEVER create a milestone tag that is semantically below existing phase tags
+
+### Phase completion
+
+**NFR/Feature (patch release):**
 ```bash
-git checkout main
+git checkout milestone/v0.5-honest-baseline  # or main if no milestone branch

-- Example: milestone v0.2 with phases P01 (feat), P02 (feat), P03 (fix) → v0.2.1, v0.2.2, v0.2.3 + milestone tag v0.3.0
 
-Determine milestone type by checking `isNfrMilestone()` which inspects all phase commit types within the milestone.
+Before creating any tag:
+1. Tag must be strictly greater than all existing tags on the same major.minor line
+2. Milestone completion tag must be next minor (feature) or next major (major)
+3. NEVER create a tag that is semantically below existing phase tags
+
+### Merge Validation Gates
+
+The branch hierarchy `main > milestone/vX.X-slug > phase/NN-slug` is enforced at merge time:
+
+| Merge Type | Rule | Validation |
+|------------|------|-------------|
+| Phase → Milestone | Must target milestone branch when one exists | REJECTED if milestone branch does not exist for this phase's milestone |
+| Phase → Main | Only allowed when no milestone branch exists | REJECTED if a milestone branch exists for this milestone |
+| Milestone → Main | Only after all phase branches are merged | REJECTED if any phase branches for this milestone are unmerged |
+| Hotfix → Main | Allowed (exception to hierarchy) | Always allowed |

+
+If `.ciagent/config.json` has `active_project` string (legacy):

+```
+
+Read project reference files:
+- `.ciagent/PROJECT.md` — Vision, requirements, constraints, key decisions
+- `.ciagent/ROADMAP.md` — Phases, milestones, success criteria
+- `.ciagent/REQUIREMENTS.md` — REQ-IDs, status, traceability
+- `.ciagent/ARCHITECTURE.md` — Component boundaries, data flow
+- `.ciagent/config.json` — Ideation configuration, autonomy level
+
+## Step 2: Run Ideation Tiers
+
+Execute tiers in order. Each tier produces `Idea[]` objects. Ideas from all tiers are merged and deduplicated before presentation.
+
+### Tier 1: Mechanical Analysis (Always Available)
+
+No backend required. All signals come from git history, `.ciagent/` files, and filesystem.
+
+#### 2.1 Git-Native Pattern Mining
+
+```bash
+git log --all --grep="lessons:" --format="%B" -50
+git log --all --grep="decisions:" --format="%B" -50 -- "***confidence***0.*"
+git log --all --grep="escalation:" --format="%B" -50
+git log --all --grep="compound:" --format="%B" -50
+```
+
+Extract:
+- **Repeated lessons** — topics appearing > 1 time → systemic issue
+- **Low-confidence decisions** — confidence < 0.7 in `---ci---` blocks → improvement targets
+- **Escalation types** — each type identifies a process gap
+- **Compound solutions** — suggest generalizing patterns that were solved multiple times
+- **Partial requirements** — `requirements: partial: [REQ-XX]` in `---ci---` blocks
+
+#### 2.2 Coverage Gap Analysis
+
+- Parse REQUIREMENTS.md for `pending` and `in_progress` status requirements
+- Cross-reference with PLAN.md task completion
+- Identify requirements with no corresponding implementation tasks
+
+#### 2.3 Verification Layer Inversion
+
+For each verification layer, identify what's MISSING:
+
+- **Structural**: Files referenced but not created, stubs, TODOs, placeholder implementations
+- **Behavioral**: Test suites with < 80% coverage, missing test files for covered requirements
+- **Security**: No STRIDE analysis for modified components, missing input validation patterns
+- **Quality**: P1/P2 review findings unresolved, consistent style violations
+
+#### 2.4 Architectural Drift Detection
+
+- Parse ARCHITECTURE.md component tree
+- Compare against actual `src/` directory structure
+- Flag components documented but not implemented
+- Flag components implemented but not documented
+- Check import graph for unauthorized dependencies between components
+
+#### 2.5 Spec-Driven Improvement
+
+- Analyze REQUIREMENTS.md for ambiguous language ("should" vs "must", undefined terms)
+- Check for contradictions between requirements
+- Compare against common patterns for the project type (identified from package.json keywords)
+- Flag requirements with no verification criteria
+
+### Tier 2: Backend-Enriched Analysis (When LLM Available)
+
+Requires an intelligence backend (opencode, openai, anthropic, or ollama).
+
+#### 2.6 Prioritization and Ranking
+
+- Evaluate all mechanical findings for impact and feasibility
+- Rank ideas by: (1) number of signals corroborating, (2) severity of the gap, (3) ease of addressing
+
+#### 2.7 Novel Improvement Suggestions
+
+- Suggest improvements beyond pattern matching (e.g., "consider rate limiting" based on industry best practices, not just a repeated lesson)
+- Generate concrete action plans for each accepted idea
+- Identify bleeding-edge approaches relevant to the project's tech stack
+
+#### 2.8 Chaos Engineering Ideation
+
+- Generate failure scenarios: "What if the backend is unavailable?", "What if a requirement changes mid-implementation?", "What if test coverage drops below threshold?"
+- Map failure scenarios to code that would break
+- Suggest resilience improvements for each scenario
+
+### Tier 3: Cross-Project Pattern Transfer (When Multi-Project Registry Exists)
+
+#### 2.9 Cross-Project Mining
+
+For each project in `.ciagent/config.json` projects array:
+- Read that project's `---ci---` blocks for lessons, decisions, compound solutions
+- Find patterns relevant to the current project (same requirement area, same tech stack from package.json)
+- Suggest adaptations of lessons learned elsewhere
+- Calculate relevance score based on tech stack similarity
+
+## Step 3: Merge and DeduplicateIdeas
+
+Combine ideas from all tiers. Deduplicate by:
+- Same `title` strings → keep highest confidence version
+- Same `relatedReq` → merge into single idea with combined sources
+- Same `category` + overlapping domains → keep most specific
+
+Sort by confidence (descending), then by number of corroborating signals.
+
+## Step 4: Interactive Validation
+
+Present ideas one-at-a-time to the user:

+Category: [CATEGORY] | Confidence: [0.XX] | Tier: [mechanical/backend-enriched/cross-project]
+Title: [idea title]
+Rationale: [idea rationale]
+Related Req: [REQ-ID or "new requirement"]
+Source: [source signal type]
+
+Actions:
+  1. Accept (add to next milestone as new requirement)
+  2. Skip
+  3. Modify (edit title/rationale before accepting)
+  4. Details (show full analysis including signal sources)
+```
+
+For each accepted idea:
+1. Generate `IDEATE-NN` requirement ID
+2. Prompt for milestone placement (append to existing or create new)
+3. Add to REQUIREMENTS.md with status `pending`
+4. Add to ROADMAP.md next milestone
+
+## Step 5: Update Long-Term Documents
+
+For each accepted idea:
+
+### REQUIREMENTS.md
+
+Add a new row in the appropriate milestone section:
+```
+| IDEATE-NN | [idea title] | [priority] | [phase] | pending |
+```
+
+### ROADMAP.md
+
+Add the idea to the next milestone's phase structure:
+- If next milestone has a matching phase category, append to that phase
+- If no matching phase, suggest a new phase
+
+### ARCHITECTURE.md
+
+If the idea involves architectural changes, note the component change needed.
+
+### PROJECT.md
+
+If the idea adds new requirements or key decisions, update accordingly.
+
+Commit all document updates:
+```
+decision(P##): ideation results — [N] accepted, [M] skipped
+```
+
+## Step 6: Ask-After-Validation Kickoff
+
+After all ideas have been validated:
+
+```
+Accepted: [N] recommendations
+Skipped: [M] recommendations
+
+Would you like to kick off the run workflow for these ideas? (y/n)
+```
+
+If yes: Start `ciagent run` with the updated project context. The `--ideate` flag is NOT needed because the ideas are already in ROADMAP.md and REQUIREMENTS.md — the standard pipeline will pick them up.
+
+If no: Output summary and exit.
+
+## Command Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `--category <cats>` | Focus on specific categories: security,quality,architecture,coverage,improvement,spec,chaos (comma-separated) |
+| `--affected` | Cascade impact analysis: given current changes, what else needs updating |
+| `--spec` | Analyze specification completeness and ambiguity |
+| `--external` | Include external signals: npm audit, OSV advisories, dependency staleness |
+| `--cross-project` | Mine patterns from all projects in multi-project registry |
+| `--output <format>` | Output format: interactive (default), json, markdown |
+| `--project <slugs>` | Target project(s): slug, comma-separated, or `all` |
+| `--backend <provider>` | Override intelligence backend for enrichment tier |
+
+## Pipeline Integration
+
+When `ciagent run --ideate` is used, the IDEATE stage is inserted between RESEARCH and PLAN:
+
+```
+SPECIFY → CLARIFY → RESEARCH → IDEATE → PLAN → EXECUTE → TEST → VERIFY → COMPLETE
+```
+
+IDEATE stage commit:
+```
+---ci---
+phase: [phase-number]

+## Error Recovery
+
+On tier failure:
+1. Mechanical tier always succeeds (git + filesystem only)
+2. Backend-enriched tier: if backend unavailable, fall back to mechanical-only output
+3. Cross-project tier: if no other projects in registry, skip silently
+
+On validation failure (no ideas generated):
+- Output "No improvement ideas identified for this project."
+- Suggest `ciagent ideate --spec` for specification analysis or `--external` for external signals

+
-- Default-accept at `full` autonomy, present at `supervised`/`guided`
+**Delegate to `ciagent-clarify` workflow.** Do not reimplement inline.
-- Commit: `decision(P##): clarification decisions`
+
+The clarify workflow handles:
+- Multi-project active project confirmation
+- Git context loading
+- Ambiguity identification and question generation
+- Autonomy-based resolution (full/supervised/guided)
+- Clarification commits with `---ci---` blocks
+- `.ciagent/<slug>/PROJECT.md` and `.ciagent/<slug>/REQUIREMENTS.md` updates
+
+Pass the current phase number and active project slug. Collect the result and proceed.

 - Research domain, ecosystem, prior art
-- Update `.ci/` static files with conclusions
+- Update `.ciagent/<slug>/` static files with conclusions (ARCHITECTURE.md, PROJECT.md, etc.)

+
+### IDEATE (when --ideate flag is passed)
+
+**Delegate to `ciagent-ideate` workflow.** Do not reimplement inline.
+
+The ideate workflow handles:
+- Multi-project context and `--project` flags
+- All three tiers (mechanical, backend-enriched, cross-project)
+- Interactive validation (accept/skip/modify)
+- Updates to `.ciagent/<slug>/REQUIREMENTS.md`, `.ciagent/<slug>/ROADMAP.md`, `.ciagent/<slug>/ARCHITECTURE.md`, `.ciagent/<slug>/PROJECT.md`
+- Ideation commit with `---ci---` block
+
+Pass the active project slug and any `--ideate` flags. Collect accepted ideas and proceed.
+
 ### PLAN
-- Delegate to ci-planner
+

+
 ### EXECUTE
-- Create phase branch: `phase/NN-slug`
+
+- Create phase branch: `<slug>/phase/NN-slug` (multi-project) or `phase/NN-slug` (single-project)
 - Delegate to ci-executor per plan per wave
+- **Multi-persona development**: if `config.json personas.enabled=true`:
+  - Lead-developer decomposes tasks by territory file patterns and requirement IDs
+  - Each persona executes tasks within their declared territory (config.json `personas[].territory`)
+  - Territory enforcement runs in configured mode (`warn` or `strict`)
+  - Primary persona (i=0) executes sequentially; review personas (i>0) execute in parallel
+  - Persona constraints (frameworks, constraints arrays) guide implementation choices
 - Commit each task with `---ci---` block
-- After all waves: commit phase completion
+- After all waves complete: **ship the phase** by delegating to `ciagent-ship` workflow
+

+- Pre-flight validation (milestone type, branch hierarchy, tag sequence, autonomy)
+- Test execution (test, typecheck, build)
+- PR creation and auto-merge
+- Version computation and tagging
+- Branch merging (phase → milestone or phase → main)
+- Gitea release creation
+
+If the ship fails: do NOT advance to VERIFY. Iterate until the phase ships successfully.

+
+### COMPLETE (milestone completion gate)
+
+The COMPLETE stage is reached only after ALL phases in the milestone have been shipped and verified. It orchestrates milestone-level finalization through three sub-workflows with a feedback loop:
+
+1. **Trigger `ciagent-review`** — multi-persona code review across all phases in the milestone
+   - Reviews all changes in the milestone branch
+   - Auto-applies P0 fixes, flags P1+ for post-hoc review
+   - If P1+ issues found: send them back to the EXECUTE stage for remediation
+
+2. **Trigger `ciagent-ship` (milestone)** — ship the entire milestone
+   - Merge milestone branch into main
+   - Tag with milestone version (minor for feature, major for major milestone)
+   - Create Gitea release for the milestone with full phase summary
+   - Build and upload distribution packages
+
+3. **Trigger `ciagent-audit`** — verify project health
+   - Reconstruction test: verify git log matches `.ciagent/` files
+   - Check `.ciagent/` file discipline and branch hygiene
+   - Check commit discipline
+   - If audit finds issues: document them, send critical issues back to EXECUTE
+
+4. **Feedback loop**: if review or audit produces pending issues that require code changes, loop back to EXECUTE → SHIP → VERIFY for those fixes before re-attempting COMPLETE.
+
+5. **If no pending issues from review/audit and audit is clean**: complete the milestone:
+   - Update `.ciagent/<slug>/REQUIREMENTS.md` — mark all milestone requirements as complete
+   - Update `.ciagent/<slug>/ROADMAP.md` — mark milestone as complete
+   - Commit: `docs(milestone): complete [milestone-name]`
+
+```

-2. Update `.ci/` files (phase status, requirement statuses)
+2. Update `.ciagent/<slug>/` files (phase status, requirement statuses)

+- **Feature milestone** (at least one feat phase): apply progressive patch versions per phase, then tag next minor milestone version on completion (e.g., v0.6.0, NOT v0.5.0).
+- **Major milestone** (breaking schema changes or complete refactor): apply progressive minor versions per phase (v0.3.0, v0.4.0), then tag next major on completion (e.g., v1.0.0).

+- **Notification Only** — status updates are informational, not requests for approval. Report outcomes, never ask permission.
+- **Autonomous Loop on Failure** — if any step fails (tests, pipeline, merge conflicts), iterate autonomously until success. Do NOT ask the user for guidance on how to fix a failing test or pipeline.
+- **Branch Hierarchy Enforced** — `main > milestone/vX.X-slug > phase/NN-slug`. Phase merges into milestone, milestone merges into main. This is validated, not assumed.
+
+## Milestone Type and Versioning
+
+The milestone type is determined **before any development work** and governs all versioning for the entire milestone.
+
+**Define semver at milestone start:** establish the version and milestone type before writing code.
+
+Determine milestone type by calling `getMilestoneType()` which returns `"nfr" | "feature" | "major"`:
+
+| Milestone Type | Condition | Phase release | Milestone release |
+|---------------|-----------|---------------|-------------------|
+| **NFR** | All phases are fix/chore/docs/perf/refactor/test | Patch — `v1.8.1`, `v1.8.2`, ... | None — final patch IS the deliverable |
+| **Feature** | At least one phase has new features (`feat`) | Patch — `v1.8.1`, `v1.8.2`, ... | Next minor — `v1.9.0` |
+| **Major** | Breaking schema changes or complete refactor | Minor — `v2.1.0`, `v2.2.0`, ... | Major — `v3.0.0` |
+
+**Tag rules (CRITICAL):**
+
+- Milestone tags are always the NEXT version, never the base:
+  - Feature: patches v0.5.1–v0.5.5 → milestone tag is v0.6.0 (NOT v0.5.0)
+  - Major: minors v0.3.0, v0.4.0, v0.5.0 → milestone tag is v1.0.0
+  - NFR: no milestone tag — the final patch release IS the deliverable
+- Tags must be strictly greater than all existing tags on the same major.minor line
+- NEVER create a milestone tag that is semantically below existing phase tags

+2. **Branch hierarchy correct** — phase branch exists and targets the correct parent (milestone branch, or main if no milestone branch exists).
+3. **No unmerged phase branches** — if shipping a milestone, all phase branches for this milestone must be merged into the milestone branch.
+4. **Tag sequence valid** — the computed tag must be strictly greater than all existing tags on the same major.minor line. Check with `git tag -l`.

-## Step 4: Merge Branch
+**Auto-merge configuration:**
 
-### Phase ship (patch release)
+Set the PR to auto-merge upon pipeline success:
 
+```bash
+tea pr merge <pr-number> --auto --squash
+```
+
+**Review:**
+
+Conduct a thorough autonomous review of the PR diff. Check:
+- All expected files are included
+- No unintended changes slipped in
+- No secrets or credentials in the diff
+- All `---ci---` blocks have correct metadata
+
+**Finalization:**
+
+- **On pipeline success:** the PR auto-merges. Proceed to Step 4.
+- **On pipeline failure:** iterate autonomously until the pipeline passes. Do NOT merge a PR with a failing pipeline. Do NOT ask for guidance.
+
+**Strict rule:** Never merge a PR with a failed pipeline. No exceptions.
+
+## Step 4: Compute Version
+
+| What's shipping | Milestone Type | Phase release | Milestone release | Example |
+|----------------|---------------|---------------|-------------------|---------|
+| Single phase | NFR | Patch `vX.Y.Z` | N/A | v0.1.3 (3rd NFR phase) |
+| Single phase | Feature | Patch `vX.Y.Z` | N/A | v0.2.3 (3rd feature phase) |
+| Single phase | Major | Minor `vX.(Y+N).0` | N/A | v0.4.0 (2nd major phase) |
+| Milestone completion | NFR | Patch (last phase) | None | v0.1.3 (no milestone tag) |
+| Milestone completion | Feature | Last patch | Minor `vX.(Y+1).0` | v0.3.0 (NOT v0.2.0) |
+| Milestone completion | Major | Last minor | Major `v(X+1).0.0` | v1.0.0 |
+
+Phase number within the milestone determines the increment:
+- NFR/Feature: 1st phase = .1, 2nd = .2, etc. (v0.5.1, v0.5.2)
+- Major: 1st phase = next minor, 2nd = minor+1, etc. (v0.3.0, v0.4.0)
+
+**Tag validation (before creating ANY tag):**
+1. Tag must be strictly greater than all existing tags on the same major.minor line
+2. Milestone completion tag must be next minor (feature) or next major (major)
+3. NEVER create a milestone tag that is semantically below existing phase tags (e.g., v0.5.0 when v0.5.1 already exists)
+
+## Step 5: Merge Branch
