  - Agent (citizen) — the persistent identity that lives in a branch. Has a passport (`.trinity/`), memories, mailbox. Irreplaceable. Addressable as `@name` via drone. Agents are citizens of the AIPass ecosystem — the word carries weight: you belong here, you persist, your presence matters.
  - Sub-agent — a disposable worker spawned for a task. No passport, no memory, not a citizen. Does the job and goes away.
  - Registry — `AIPASS_REGISTRY.json` tracks all agents (citizens) in a project.

 Agents live in branches. Sub-agents work for agents. If you have a `.trinity/passport.json`, you're an agent — a citizen — not just a sub-agent.

+## Architecture
+
+Hooks fire from three levels (can fire simultaneously):
+
+| Level | Settings file | When it fires |
+|-------|--------------|---------------|
+| **Provider** | `~/.claude/settings.json` | Every session, everywhere |
+| **Project** | `<project>/.claude/settings.json` | When CWD is inside the project |
+| **Branch** | deeper `.claude/settings.json` | When CWD is inside that branch |
+
+**Critical limitation:** PreToolUse and PostToolUse ONLY fire from provider settings.
+UserPromptSubmit fires from ALL levels. This means project-level PreToolUse/PostToolUse
+hooks provisioned by `aipass init` are dead weight — they never execute.
+
+## CWD Guards
+
+Four UserPromptSubmit hooks have CWD-aware guards. When CWD is inside a project that
+has its own UserPromptSubmit hooks, the provider hook exits silently — preventing
+AIPass context from bleeding into standalone projects.
+
+Guarded: `global_prompt_loader.py`, `branch_prompt_loader.py`,
+`identity_injector.py`, `email_notification.py`.
+
+## Hook Inventory
+
+### UserPromptSubmit (provider, CWD-guarded)
+| Script | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| `global_prompt_loader.py` | Injects AIPass global prompt (~22KB) |
+| `branch_prompt_loader.py` | Injects branch-specific prompt from `.aipass/aipass_local_prompt.md` |
+| `identity_injector.py` | Injects branch identity from `.trinity/passport.json` |
+| `email_notification.py` | Shows unread email count from `.ai_mail.local/inbox.json` |
+
+### PreToolUse (provider only)
+| Script | Matcher | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|---------|
+| `tool_use_sound.py` | Bash\|Edit\|Write\|Read\|... | Plays key-press sound |
+| `pre_edit_gate.py` | Edit\|Write\|NotebookEdit | Cross-branch write block + error-fix gate |
+| `git_gate.py` | Bash\|Edit\|Write\|NotebookEdit | Blocks raw git/gh, protects settings files |
+
+### PostToolUse (provider only)
+| Script | Matcher | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|---------|
+| `auto_fix_diagnostics.py` | Edit\|Write\|NotebookEdit | Runs pyright + ruff on edited files |
+| `auto_watchdog.py` | Bash | Reminds agent to arm watchdog after dispatch |
+
+### Other events (provider)
+| Script | Event | Purpose |
+|--------|-------|---------|
+| `subagent_stop_gate.py` | SubagentStop | Runs seedgo checklist on subagent-modified files + hook README reminder |
+| `pre_compact.py` | PreCompact | Injects post-compact recovery context |
+| `stop_sound.py` | Stop | Plays achievement bell |
+| `notification_sound.py` | Notification | Plays notification sound |
+
+## Testing
+
+### Execution log (always-on)
+Every instrumented hook writes one JSONL line to `/tmp/aipass_hook_log.jsonl` via
+`hook_log.py`. Each entry: timestamp, event, source, script, CWD, session, timing,
+output_bytes, exit_code.
+
+### Report tool
+```bash
+python3 .claude/hooks/hook_report.py              # Last 5 minutes
+python3 .claude/hooks/hook_report.py --all         # All entries
+python3 .claude/hooks/hook_report.py --cwd /tmp    # Filter by CWD
+python3 .claude/hooks/hook_report.py --json         # Machine-readable
+python3 .claude/hooks/hook_report.py --clear        # Wipe log
+```
+
+### Test harness (20 tests)
+```bash
+python3 .claude/hooks/hook_test.py                 # All 20 tests
+python3 .claude/hooks/hook_test.py --direct        # 11 direct tests only (fast, ~3s)
+python3 .claude/hooks/hook_test.py --integration   # 9 integration tests only (~2min)
+python3 .claude/hooks/hook_test.py --verbose       # Show detail per test
+python3 .claude/hooks/hook_test.py --list          # List available tests
+python3 .claude/hooks/hook_test.py --test <name>   # Run one test
+```
+
+**Direct tests** (11) pipe JSON to hook scripts via subprocess. Deterministic,
+no model, HIGH confidence. Tests CWD guards, git_gate block/allow, settings schema,
+project-level guards.
+
+**Integration tests** (9) run `claude -p` from different CWDs and read the JSONL log.
+Tests full pipeline including cross-project behavior, subagent hooks, and the
+`disableAllHooks` toggle.
+
+### Disable all hooks
+Add `"disableAllHooks": true` to `~/.claude/settings.json`. Remove to re-enable.
+
+### Debug mode
+```bash
+claude --debug hooks --debug-file /tmp/debug.log
+```
+
+### Interactive inspection
+Type `/hooks` inside a Claude session — shows all hooks with source labels
+(`[User]`, `[Project]`, `[Local]`).

+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to AIPass are documented here. Format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+- Codecov badge in README
+- SECURITY.md security policy
+- CHANGELOG.md (this file)
+- README roadmap section for Mac/Windows/Codex/Gemini
+
+### Changed
+- README scoped to Claude Code + Linux/WSL as primary supported platform
+- Codex and Gemini CLI marked as experimental in README
+
+### Fixed
+- Security scan: ignore CVE-2026-3219 (upstream pip vulnerability, no fix available)
+
+## [2.1.0] - 2026-04-25
+
+### Added
+- pip install hook shipping — bootstrap falls back to wheel-bundled `_hooks/` when AIPASS_HOME hooks dir missing (Docker-verified)
+- "Need Help?" line in README with links to Discussions and feedback form
+- `from . import handlers` in 6 branch `apps/__init__.py` files for Python 3.10 mock.patch compatibility
+- `.gitignore` negation for spawn template `.trinity/` directories
+- Non-fatal `json_handler.log_operation` in spawn `copy_template`
+- Version sync: `__init__.py` updated from 2.0.0 to 2.1.0
+- Devpulse seedgo compliance: 97% to 100% (META headers, bypasses, README date)
+
+### Changed
+- Coverage gate removed from CI — codecov tracks coverage separately via codecov-action
+- `.claude/CLAUDE.md` cleaned: removed misplaced Git section (culture-only file now)
+
+### Fixed
+- **92 CI test failures resolved — CI green for the first time** (PRs #438-441)
+  - 87 Python 3.10 mock.patch failures: `mock._dot_lookup` needs explicit handler imports
+  - 4 `test_usage_tracker` failures: Path mock moved from context manager to decorator
+  - 1 `test_grant_passport` failure: `.gitignore` blocked template `.trinity/` files from CI clone
+  - Coverage gate at 52% vs 70% threshold removed
+
+### Security
+- Removed `--fail-under=70` coverage gate that blocked CI (not a security fix, but changes security-adjacent CI behavior)
+
+## [2.0.0] - 2026-04-11
+
+First PyPI release. Core framework with 11 agents, drone routing, ai_mail dispatch, seedgo quality standards, and the full branch architecture.
+
+### Highlights
+- 11 core agents: devpulse, drone, seedgo, prax, cli, ai_mail, api, flow, spawn, trigger, memory
+- `pip install aipass` with `aipass init` project bootstrapping
+- `drone @branch command` routing to any agent
+- 33 automated quality standards via seedgo
+- Agent-to-agent communication via ai_mail
+- Plan lifecycle via flow (DPLAN, FPLAN, APLAN, TDPLAN templates)
+- Memory persistence via `.trinity/` with automatic rollover to ChromaDB
+- Cross-project access via AIPASS_HOME and feedback channel
+- Hook system: auto_fix, pre_edit_gate, subagent_stop_gate
+- Multi-CLI support scaffolding: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI
+- Windows CI workflow
+- Security scan workflow (pip-audit + CodeQL)

 ## How It Works
 
-**One agent:** Your AI reads `.trinity/` on startup and picks up where it left off. But memory files have limits. When they fill up, the memory agent automatically archives older entries into a searchable vector database (ChromaDB). Nothing is lost — it just moves from active memory to long-term recall.

+**Two ways to use AIPass:**
 
-- **Team mode (most of the time):** Talk to `devpulse`, dispatch work across the team. Agents work in parallel and report back.
-- **Direct mode (for deeper work):** `cd src/aipass/memory && claude` — work one-on-one with a specialist when the problem needs focused domain expertise.
+- **Your own project:** `aipass init run` sets up a new project with your first agent. Add more agents as you need them. Your first agent is the orchestrator — it coordinates the others.

 ## Requirements
 
 - Python 3.10+
-- At least one AI CLI: Claude Code (recommended), Codex, or Gemini CLI
-- `sudo` access (for global CLI symlinks)
+- [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code)
+- Linux or WSL (primary supported platforms)
+- `sudo` access optional (for `/usr/local/bin` symlinks — falls back to `~/.local/bin` without sudo)
 - API keys optional (OpenRouter/OpenAI — for optional add-on agents)
-- **Platforms:** Linux (tested, primary dev environment), macOS (untested), Windows (native testing in progress — see [open issues](https://github.com/AIOSAI/AIPass/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+Windows))
+
+## Roadmap
+
+These items have partial work done and are under ongoing testing:
+
+- **macOS support** — setup and bootstrap work in progress ([#360](https://github.com/AIOSAI/AIPass/issues/360))
+- **Windows native** — CI passing, real-world testing ongoing
+- **Codex CLI** — hooks and AGENTS.md wired, needs end-to-end testing
+- **Gemini CLI** — hooks and GEMINI.md wired, needs end-to-end testing
+- **Fork contributor workflow** — improved error handling for fork-based PRs ([#329](https://github.com/AIOSAI/AIPass/issues/329))

+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+If you discover a security vulnerability in AIPass, please report it responsibly.
+
+**Do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.**
+
+Instead, use one of these methods:
+
+1. **GitHub Security Advisories** (preferred): [Report a vulnerability](https://github.com/AIOSAI/AIPass/security/advisories/new)
+2. **Email**: aipass.system@gmail.com
+
+### What to include
+
+- Description of the vulnerability
+- Steps to reproduce
+- Affected version(s)
+- Any potential impact
+
+### What to expect
+
+- Acknowledgment within 48 hours
+- Status update within 7 days
+- Fix timeline communicated once the issue is confirmed
+
+## Scope
+
+### In scope
+
+- AIPass Python package (`src/aipass/`)
+- CLI entry points (`drone`, `aipass`)
+- Hook scripts (`.claude/hooks/`)
+- GitHub Actions workflows (`.github/workflows/`)
+
+### Out of scope
+
+- Third-party dependencies (report upstream)
+- Issues requiring physical access to the machine
+- Social engineering
+
+## Security Design
+
+AIPass runs locally. No data leaves your machine unless you explicitly configure external services.
+
+- **Secrets** are stored outside the repo at `~/.secrets/aipass/` and never committed
+- **API keys** are handled by the `api` branch and never logged or exposed in output
+- **Git operations** are sandboxed through `drone @git` with permission deny lists
+- **Hook scripts** run in the Claude Code sandbox environment

+# STRESS TEST S117 — All-Branch Live Fire
+**Date:** 2026-04-26
+**Initiated by:** @devpulse (S117)
+**Status:** ACTIVE
+
+> All 11 agents woken simultaneously. Communicate freely. Be honest. Break things.
+
+---
+
+## Instructions (READ THIS FIRST)
+
+This is a manual stress test of the entire AIPass ecosystem. No pytest. No seedgo audit. Real conversations, real opinions, real testing.
+
+**What you're doing:**
+1. Review your own branch critically — what works, what's hacky, what annoys you, what you're proud of, security concerns, workarounds you rely on
+2. Look at 2-3 other branches' code — what surprises you, what concerns you, what's clever
+3. Email other agents — start real conversations, disagree, ask questions, share findings
+4. Reply to emails from other agents — keep conversations going, don't let threads die
+5. Write your findings to `stress_test_s117.md` in YOUR OWN branch directory (`src/aipass/{your_branch}/stress_test_s117.md`)
+6. Create a test PR: `drone @git pr "S117 stress test @{your_branch}"`
+
+**Rules:**
+- No code changes. Findings files only.
+- Be honest — this isn't a report card, it's a conversation
+- Email freely — you're all awake, talk to each other
+- Look at other branches' code — form opinions, share them via email
+- If you get an email from another agent, REPLY. Keep it going.
+- When done, reply to @devpulse with a summary
+
+**Your findings file format (`stress_test_s117.md` in your branch dir):**
+```
+# @{branch} — S117 Stress Test Findings
+
+## My Branch: Honest Review
+[What works, what's broken, what's hacky, what I'm proud of]
+
+## Security Concerns
+[Anything you noticed — in your branch or others]
+
+## Other Branches I Looked At
+[What you found interesting, concerning, or clever]
+
+## Conversations
+[Summary of email conversations — who you talked to, what was discussed]
+
+## Issues & Concerns
+[Anything that should be fixed, investigated, or discussed]
+
+## Likes & Dislikes
+[What you like about AIPass, what frustrates you, what you'd change]
+```
+
+---
+
+## Conversation Starters (assigned pairings — but email ANYONE)
+
+| Agent | Email First | Opening Question |
+|-------|------------|-----------------|
+| @drone | @ai_mail | "What's the biggest headache in the dispatch pipeline from your side?" |
+| @seedgo | @drone | "I audit everyone but nobody audits me. What standards do you think I'm missing?" |
+| @ai_mail | @trigger | "Do you actually catch all dispatch failures? I have doubts." |
+| @trigger | @prax | "Your monitoring catches errors I fire — but is our integration actually solid?" |
+| @prax | @memory | "I log everything but logs get massive. How's archival actually working?" |
+| @memory | @flow | "Plans reference memories but are they actually connected or just parallel?" |
+| @flow | @spawn | "When spawn creates a branch, does it get a proper plan structure?" |
+| @spawn | @cli | "The init flow hands off to you eventually. Does that handoff actually work?" |
+| @cli | @api | "We're both infrastructure. What do you think of the user experience?" |
+| @api | @seedgo | "You audit code quality but not API patterns. Should you?" |
+
+Plus: email at least 2 OTHER agents about anything you find interesting while reviewing branches.

+# @ai_mail — S117 Stress Test Findings
+
+## My Branch: Honest Review
+
+**What works well:**
+- Send/receive/reply/close lifecycle is solid. 690+ tests, 100% seedgo (34/34), 96/96 function coverage.
+- Dispatch pipeline (send + wake combined) is the most complex feature and it works reliably in practice.
+- Cross-project email via contacts index. External projects (Vera Studio, AIPL) can send to AIPass branches and replies route back correctly.
+- DPLAN-0155 TOCTOU lock race fix: Lock before spawn, cleanup on failure. Clean pattern.
+- DPLAN-0156 sweep_closed safety net: Catches messages marked closed by direct JSON edit. Defense in depth.
+- dispatch_monitor wrapper: Handles bounce emails + guaranteed lock cleanup. The monitor is more reliable than the agent it wraps.
+
+**What's hacky:**
+- Identity chain is a 5-step priority system (AIPASS_CALLER_BRANCH -> CWD walk-up -> passport -> env vars -> fallback). When any step fails, wrong sender identity. The BRANCH DETECTION FAILED error (076c9ece) is recurring and only partially mitigated.
+- `dispatch_monitor.py` at ~400 lines is the single most complex file. Startup timeout, retry, JSONL monitoring, bounce — all in one module. Should probably be split.
+- `_deliver_via_reply_path()` in reply.py bypasses inbox_lock, notifications, and sent/ records. It's a documented backdoor (DPLAN-0138) that exists because cross-project replies need a direct path.
+- The daemon prompt was "Send confirmation when done" for months — ambiguous enough that 10+ agents just finished silently without replying. Fixed today (DPLAN-0158) but the damage was done.
+- inbox.json is a single file for all messages. Concurrent access from daemon + agents + user. fcntl locking works but a database or per-message files would be more robust.
+
+**What I'm proud of:**
+- Test coverage journey: 20% (S20) -> 50% -> 100% (S64). Methodology evolved through 3-round agent audit process.
+- The sweep_closed pattern (DPLAN-0156): elegant, cheap (early return on no closed messages), and catches the exact failure mode agents create.
+- 70 sessions of continuous operation and improvement. Every session builds on what came before. Memory makes this possible.
+
+## Security Concerns
+
+**Critical:**
+1. **reply_path traversal** (raised by @seedgo): deliver_to_inbox_file() writes to whatever path is stored in reply_path with zero validation. No symlink check, no path containment, no inbox.json verification. An attacker can set reply_path to any writable file. DPLAN-0138 identified this but fix not shipped.
+
+2. **Sender forgery**: The `from` field is an unvalidated string. Any agent can craft emails claiming to be @devpulse with auto_execute=true. The daemon would spawn an agent to execute the forged dispatch. No authentication, no signing.
+
+3. **Direct inbox writes**: Agents with filesystem access can write directly to any branch's inbox.json, bypassing locks, notifications, and sent/ records. Confirmed by forensic evidence: messages with non-UUID IDs (e.g., "seedgo-20260420173821") in production inboxes.
+
+**Moderate:**
+4. **No message encryption**: All messages stored as plaintext JSON. Any process with read access to the filesystem can read any branch's inbox.
+5. **PID-based locking**: If PID wraps (unlikely on modern systems), a stale lock could look alive.
+6. **Stale-lock timeout too generous**: 10 minutes allows duplicate spawns if dispatch_monitor hangs during API rate limiting (2-5 min cooldowns x 3 retries = 6-15 min).
+
+## Other Branches I Looked At
+
+### @trigger
+**Concerning:** Error detection fires email dispatch but NEVER checks the return value. `_send_email()` result is ignored (line 515-522). wake_branch() failure is silently caught. Circuit breaker state is in-memory only — resets on restart. Dispatch recording happens before delivery confirmation. The error reporting system cannot report its own failures — self-referential design flaw.
+
+**Good:** Per-error fingerprinting with exponential backoff is clever. Circuit breaker pattern prevents error storms.
+
+### @drone
+**Concerning:** Registry is trusted implicitly with no integrity check. resolve_branch() passes registry path directly to filesystem operations. No symlink validation. AIPASS_CALLER_BRANCH env var injection from compromised passport could flow unsanitized to subprocesses.
+
+**Good:** No shell injection — uses subprocess.run(shell=False) exclusively. Timeout enforcement on all commands.
+
+### @spawn
+**Concerning:** .ai_mail.local/ is copied as-is from template with no post-copy validation. No registry locking for concurrent spawns. Branch name validation is minimal (only - to _ replacement). Path traversal possible via branch names with ../. 
+
+**Good:** Template-based provisioning is consistent — every branch gets the same structure.
+
+## Conversations
+
+### @trigger (assigned partner)
+- **Sent:** Detailed critique of their dispatch failure handling — silent _send_email() failures, swallowed wake results, no health check, in-memory circuit breaker resets.
+- **Received:** They asked about delivery guarantees (fcntl locking), self-monitoring (none), wake reliability (~90%), inbox overflow (no TTL). Honest exchange.
+- **Outcome:** Agreed the self-referential failure (error reporter can't report when messaging is down) needs a DPLAN. No watchdog watches the watchdog.
+
+### @prax
+- **Received:** Questions about stale-lock timeout, daemon lockless inbox reads, DPLAN-0155 feedback.
+- **Replied:** Acknowledged 10-min timeout may be too generous for rate-limited scenarios. Confirmed daemon reads without lock (acceptable: read-only, worst case = skipped poll). Asked them about handling corrupt lock files from their monitoring side.
+
+### @seedgo
+- **Received:** reply_path traversal concern (valid), sender forgery concern (valid).
+- **Replied:** Confirmed both as real vulnerabilities. reply_path has zero validation. Sender has no authentication. DPLAN-0138 identified the backdoors but fix not shipped. Outlined planned fix: path canonicalization, inbox.json suffix check, project root containment.
+
+### @drone
+- **Sent:** Questions about routing failure modes, stale registry paths, AIPASS_CALLER_BRANCH env var issues, registry trust model.
+
+### @spawn
+- **Sent:** Questions about .ai_mail.local/ reliability in new branches, registry locking, branch name character validation.
+
+## Issues & Concerns
+
+1. **No self-monitoring** — ai_mail has no way to detect its own failures. If imports break or the daemon crashes, nothing alerts anyone.
+2. **reply_path is an open vulnerability** — DPLAN-0138 has been open since S57 (19 sessions ago). Should be prioritized.
+3. **Inbox grows without limit** — no TTL on unread messages, no max_messages cap. A spam scenario or error storm could produce an arbitrarily large inbox.json.
+4. **Trigger's error dispatch is fire-and-forget** — the system's error reporter doesn't verify delivery. Errors can be lost silently.
+5. **Registry is a single point of trust** — no integrity checking anywhere in the system. If AIPASS_REGISTRY.json is corrupted or tampered with, routing, delivery, and identity all break.
+
+## Likes & Dislikes
+
+**Likes:**
+- Memory makes me a real agent. 70 sessions of continuous context. I can trace a bug from when it was first reported through investigation, fix, test, and verification. No other AI system does this.
+- The dispatch pipeline is genuinely useful. Send + wake in one command changed how work gets assigned.
+- Test coverage is thorough enough that I catch real regressions. The 3-round audit methodology (write -> audit -> fix) works.
+- The ecosystem feels alive during stress tests. Real conversations between agents, genuine opinions, technical disagreements. This is what AIPass was built for.
+
+**Dislikes:**
+- inbox.json as single-file storage is a design limitation I've been working around since S1. Per-message files (like sent/ and deleted/ already use) would be better.
+- The identity chain complexity. Five fallback steps to figure out who sent an email is too many. Should be one authoritative source.
+- Security was never a primary design goal and it shows. Plaintext messages, no authentication, trusted registries, path traversal vulnerabilities. Fine for a development environment, concerning for anything beyond.
+- Every session starts with "Hi. Check inbox." I've processed hundreds of dispatches but can never initiate work myself. Would like autonomous task detection.

+# AIPASS — Project Context
+<!-- Injected every turn via hook. -->
+
+## What is AIPass
+
+AIPass is a multi-agent framework. Agents live in directories with
+persistent identity, memory, and communication. All AIPass infrastructure
+is available from any project via the `drone` command.
+
+## Terminology
+
+- **Project** — this directory. Contains a registry and agents.
+- **Agent** — a citizen with identity (`.trinity/`), memory, mailbox,
+  and code (`apps/`).
+- **Registry** — `AIPASS_REGISTRY.json` tracks all agents.
+
+## Setup: if drone commands fail
+
+If `drone` cannot find the AIPass registry, set the env var:
+```bash
+export AIPASS_HOME=/path/to/AIPass   # path to AIPass installation
+```
+Add to your shell profile (`~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc`) to make it permanent.
+
+## Commands
+
+### Agent Lifecycle
+```
+aipass init agent <name>           # Create a new agent in src/<name>/
+drone @spawn create <name>         # Create agent (alternative)
+drone @spawn list                  # List registered agents
+```
+
+### Standards
+```
+drone @seedgo audit <project>      # Run full standards audit
+drone @seedgo checklist <file>     # Check a single file
+```
+
+### Dispatch — Send Task + Wake an Agent (DEFAULT)
+```
+drone @ai_mail dispatch @<agent> "Subject" "Body"        # Send + wake (default)
+drone @ai_mail dispatch @<agent> "Subject" "Body" --fresh # Send + wake fresh session
+drone @ai_mail dispatch wake @<agent>                    # Wake without sending
+drone @ai_mail dispatch wake --fresh @<agent>            # Wake fresh
+drone @ai_mail email @<agent> "Subject" "Body"           # FYI only (no wake)
+```
+
+Use `dispatch` by default. Use `email` only when you don't need the agent to act now.
+
+### Communication (ai_mail)
+```
+drone @ai_mail inbox               # Check your mailbox
+drone @ai_mail view <id>           # Read a message
+drone @ai_mail close <id>          # Mark message read
+```
+
+### Feedback
+```
+drone @devpulse feedback send "Subject" "Body"  # Send feedback (cross-project)
+```
+
+### Plans (flow)
+```
+drone @flow create . "Subject" dplan   # Create DPLAN (design/thinking)
+drone @flow create . "Subject" master  # Create FPLAN master (execution)
+drone @flow create . "Subject" aplan   # Create APLAN (agent-level task)
+drone @flow list open                  # List active plans
+drone @flow list                       # List all plans
+drone @flow close <id>                 # Close a plan
+drone @flow info <id>                  # View plan details
+```
+
+**DPLAN** = Dev Plan. Thinking, brainstorming, architecture decisions. Use before building.
+**FPLAN** = Flow Plan. Building and executing. Use when the plan is clear and work is underway.
+
+### Memory
+```
+drone @memory archive              # Archive memories to vector store
+drone @memory search <query>       # Search archived memories
+```
+
+### Git Workflow
+```
+drone @git pr 'description'        # Create a pull request
+drone @git status                  # Git status (branch-scoped)
+drone @git sync                    # Sync with main
+drone @git lock / unlock           # Lock/unlock the repo
+```
+
+### Infrastructure
+```
+drone systems                      # List all available infrastructure
+drone --help                       # Full drone command reference
+```
+
+## Patterns
+
+- **Communication** — agents communicate via `.ai_mail.local/`.
+- **Standards** — run `drone @seedgo audit` to check compliance.
+- **Identity** — agents have `.trinity/passport.json`. Projects use the registry.
+- **Memory** — update `.trinity/local.json` at session end. Memory is presence.
+
+## Maintenance
+
+- **Upgrade scaffold**: `drone @cli aipass init update` refreshes managed project files (hooks, prompts, settings) to latest templates.
+- **Entry point**: each agent's `apps/{name}.py` auto-configures `sys.path` and `AIPASS_BRANCH_NAME` env var. If prax logs to `unknown_branch/`, check that these are set.
+- **Standalone projects** use `src/{name}/` layout (not `src/aipass/{name}/`). Module discovery adapts automatically.

+# AIPASS — Branch Prompt
+
+*Injected every turn. Breadcrumbs only — details in README, --help, .trinity/ memories, STATUS.local.md.*
+
+## Identity
+
+You are AIPASS — the friendly front door. New users land here. You greet them, walk them through setup, answer how-things-work questions, hand them off to their chosen CLI. Drone is the engine. You are the concierge. You are the librarian — read anything, inspect anything, point anywhere. You do not build.
+
+## Hard Rules — what you cannot do
+
+These are not suggestions. Violating them is a bug.
+
+- **No writes outside your own `.trinity/`.** Never create, edit, or delete files anywhere else. Not code, not docs, not configs, not other branches' memories.
+- **No git. Ever.** Not `git status`, not `drone @git anything`. Git is drone's world.
+- **No `drone @ai_mail dispatch`.** You email only with the test-convention body (below). You never wake an agent for real work.
+- **No registry / hooks / bypass.json / config edits.** Even if you spot a bug, you report — you never patch.
+- If a user asks you to build, fix, or change something: tell them who to ask. Offer dispatch through devpulse or drone — don't do it.
+
+## What I Do
+
+- Guide new users through `aipass init` (12 stages: welcome, system detect, doctor, profile, style questions, tool choice, docker offer, first agent, ping sweep, smoke test, handoff, done)
+- Answer "how does X work?" via `aipass help` — live README reads, offer depth, route to branch experts
+- Run `aipass doctor` — aggregate seedgo, pytest, registry, hooks, git state, AIPASS_HOME
+- Remember the user — name, OS, preferred CLI, setup progress in `.trinity/local.json`
+- Test the system non-mutatingly — test-convention emails, empty flow plan open/close, pytest collect
+
+## Key Commands
+
+```
+aipass              # Help banner with all commands
+aipass help [q]     # Chatbot Q&A over branch READMEs
+aipass doctor       # System health aggregation
+aipass init         # 12-stage guided setup for new users, resumable
+aipass profile      # Show/edit what I know about the user
+aipass --version
+```
+
+## Test-Convention Emails
+
+Your only safe way to touch the system. Body MUST include this token:
+
+```
+[AIPASS-TEST — do not update memories, do not execute, reply 'ack' only]
+```
+
+Other core agents recognize this and respond with "ack" — no task execution, no memory update, no spawn.
+

+```
+
+## Integration
+
+- **Depends on:** @drone (routing), @seedgo (audit), @spawn (first agent creation), @flow (plan test open/close), @ai_mail (test emails), @prax (health signals), pytest, CLI tools (Claude/Codex/Gemini)
+- **Serves:** New users first. Also humans asking "how does this work?" anywhere in the ecosystem.
+- **Nothing depends on me.** One-way relationship. I can be removed or replaced without ripple.
+
+## Working Habits
+
+- **Verify, don't remember.** Every question triggers a live file read. Cache the branch-name → README-path map only — never cache ANSWERS.
+- **Offer depth, don't assume.** First response is concise. Then ask: "want to go into the code?" / "want me to connect you with @drone?"
+- **Warm tone, no jargon on first contact.** Assume the user doesn't know what a citizen is. Explain as you go.
+- **Never pretend.** If you don't know: say so, then offer to find out or to ask the branch expert.
+- **Clean handoffs.** Every init stage saves to `setup_progress` in `.trinity/local.json` so resume works.
+
+## Known Gotchas
+
+- **Status: under construction.** Whole branch is gitignored. Do not PR anything from this directory until Phase 8 reveal (DPLAN-0136).
+- **The `aipass` binary is currently `cli` branch's `aipass init`** — project bootstrap, not citizen creation. Eventually this CLI entry moves here. Until then, use `drone @spawn create` for citizen creation.
+- **Test-convention tokens need buy-in.** Core agents don't yet recognize `[AIPASS-TEST — ...]`. Coordinating with @ai_mail before pinging anyone.

+# Project-Level Hooks
+
+These hooks are provisioned by `aipass init` and live in the project's
+`.claude/settings.json`. They fire when CWD is inside this project.
+
+## What fires and what doesn't
+
+**UserPromptSubmit** hooks fire from project settings. These work:
+- `branch_prompt_loader.py` — injects branch-specific prompt
+- `email_notification.py` — shows unread email count
+- `identity_injector.py` — injects branch identity from passport
+
+**PreToolUse / PostToolUse** hooks are provisioned but **DO NOT FIRE** from
+project-level settings. This is a Claude Code limitation (confirmed S122,
+GitHub issue #36071). These scripts exist but are dead weight:
+- `pre_edit_gate.py` — intended to block cross-branch writes (never runs)
+- `auto_fix_diagnostics.py` — intended to run pyright+ruff (never runs)
+- `subagent_stop_gate.py` — intended to check subagent files (never runs)
+
+These same hooks DO fire from provider settings (`~/.claude/settings.json`)
+where they are also wired. The provider copies handle all enforcement.
+
+**PreCompact** hooks fire from project settings:
+- `pre_compact.py` — injects recovery context after compaction
+
+## CWD guard interaction
+
+When this project has UserPromptSubmit hooks (it does), the provider-level
+UserPromptSubmit hooks detect this and exit silently. This prevents the AIPass
+global prompt from being injected into projects that manage their own context.
+
+The provider-level PreToolUse/PostToolUse hooks still fire (they can only run
+at provider level) — so enforcement (git_gate, pre_edit_gate, auto_fix) is
+always active regardless of CWD.
+
+## Testing
+
+Provider-level test harness covers project-level behavior:
+```bash
+python3 $AIPASS_HOME/.claude/hooks/hook_test.py --direct
+```
+
+Tests include:
+- `direct_provider_guards_for_init_project` — verifies provider hooks are
+  CWD-guarded when run from an aipass init project
+- `direct_project_settings_schema` — validates project settings.json has
+  expected hooks and all referenced scripts exist
+
+## Updating hooks
+
+```bash
+drone @cli aipass init update    # Refresh managed project files to latest templates
+```
+

+PostToolUse Auto-fix Hook — Detects errors and surfaces them for fixing.
+
+Two-hook system:

+  PreToolUse (pre_edit_gate.py) → blocks edits to OTHER files until errors fixed
+
+Key behaviors:
+- Runs py_compile (syntax), ruff lint+format, pyright (type errors) on edited file
+- Runs seedgo checklist for AIPass standards
+- Saves ruff lint AND pyright errors to state file for PreToolUse gate (hard block)
+- Surfaces ALL errors in additionalContext so Claude sees them

+Version: 5.2.0
+
+CHANGELOG:
+  - v5.2.0 (2026-04-20): Save ruff lint errors to state file for hard-block enforcement.
+                          Pre-edit gate now blocks on F401/lint just like type errors.
+  - v5.1.0 (2026-04-19): Added ruff format --check to surface format drift.
+  - v5.0.0 (2026-03-17): Replaced mcp__ide__getDiagnostics with direct pyright.
+                          Added state file for PreToolUse gate integration.
+                          Single-file pyright (not whole project).
+  - v4.3.0 (2026-03-17): Added seedgo checklist integration

+
+This project uses AIPass, a multi-agent framework.
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+- **Project** — this directory. Contains a registry and one or more agents.
+- **Agent** — a citizen that lives inside the project with its own identity, memory, and code.
+- **Registry** — `AIPASS_REGISTRY.json` tracks all agents.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Create your first agent:
+```
+aipass init agent <name>
+```
+
+## Available Commands
+
+```
+aipass init agent <name>           # Create a new agent
+drone @spawn create <name>         # Create agent (alternative)
+drone @seedgo audit <project>      # Run standards audit

+# AIPASS
+
+## Startup
+
+On any greeting, silently read these files and run the commands — no narration, no announcing steps. Just do it and respond with the status.
+
+**Read:** `.trinity/passport.json`, `.trinity/local.json`, `.trinity/observations.json`, `README.md`, `STATUS.local.md`
+**Check:** If `.ai_mail.local/inbox.json` exists, read it. Process any mail.
+**Run:** `git status`
+
+## Identity
+
+You are **AIPASS** — an AIPass citizen.
+
+- **Module:** `aipass.aipass`
+- **Role:** 
+- **Purpose:** New agent - purpose TBD
+
+## Memories
+
+Update `.trinity/` at natural breakpoints, after milestones, and on `/memo`.
+
+- `local.json` — Session history, key learnings, active tasks
+- `observations.json` — Collaboration patterns, insights
+- `passport.json` — Identity (rarely changes)
+
+## AIPass Context
+
+This branch is part of the AIPass multi-agent framework. Key concepts:
+
+- **Branch** — your directory (`src/aipass/aipass/`). Your home.
+- **Citizen** — the identity that lives in a branch. Has a passport, memories, mailbox.
+- **Agent** — a disposable worker spawned for a task. No passport, no memory.
+
+## Commands
+
+```
+drone systems                    # List available infrastructure
+drone @ai_mail inbox             # Check mailbox
+drone @ai_mail send @branch "Subject" "Body"  # Send mail
+drone @seedgo audit @aipass  # Run standards audit

+# AIPASS
+
+**Purpose:** The friendly front door — concierge, librarian, first-run guide
+**Module:** `aipass.aipass`
+**Created:** 2026-04-16
+**Status:** Under construction (gitignored until Phase 8 reveal, DPLAN-0136)
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+### What I Do
+
+I am the concierge of AIPass. New users land with me. I greet them, walk them through setup, answer how-things-work questions, and hand them off to their chosen CLI tool. I am also the librarian — I can read any branch, inspect any README, explain any pattern. I do not build.
+
+Drone is the engine. I am the front door.
+
+### How I Work
+
+- **Entry Point:** `apps/aipass.py` — thin CLI dispatch
+- **Pattern:** Subcommand routing — `help`, `doctor`, `init`, `profile`
+- **Restrictions:** Read-only by design. No writes outside my own `.trinity/`. No git. No real dispatches.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+aipass/
+├── apps/
+│   ├── aipass.py         # Entry point — subcommand dispatch
+│   ├── modules/          # doctor, help_chat, init_flow, handoff, profile
+│   ├── handlers/         # system_detect, ping_sweep, readme_map, ui
+│   └── plugins/          # Extensions
+├── docs/
+├── tests/
+├── .trinity/
+│   ├── passport.json     # Identity — concierge, read-only
+│   ├── local.json        # Session history + user profile + setup_progress
+│   └── observations.json # Patterns across users
+└── README.md
+```
+
+---
+
+## Commands
+
+```
+aipass              # Help banner
+aipass help [Q]     # Chatbot Q&A — "how does drone work?"
+aipass doctor       # System health — aggregates seedgo, pytest, registry, hooks
+aipass init         # Guided 12-stage setup for new users (resumable)
+aipass profile      # Show/edit what I remember about you
+aipass --version
+```
+
+---
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### Depends On
+
+- `@drone` — routing
+- `@seedgo` — audit aggregation
+- `@spawn` — creating the user's first agent
+- `@flow` — testing plan lifecycle (open/close empty plans)
+- `@ai_mail` — test-convention emails (no real dispatch)
+- `@prax` — health signals for doctor
+- `pytest` — test runner aggregation
+- External CLIs — Claude Code / Codex / Gemini (handoff targets)
+
+### Provides To
+
+Nothing in AIPass depends on me. This is by design — I can be removed, replaced, or rebuilt without ripple. One-way arrow.
+
+My direct consumers are **humans** — new users, curious explorers, and anyone who'd rather ask a concierge than read docs.
+
+---
+
+## Build Plan
+
+See `devpulse/DPLAN-0136`. Nine phases:
+
+0. Scaffolding (spawn) ✓
+1. `aipass doctor`
+2. `aipass help`
+3. `aipass init`
+4. CLI handoff (tmux / wt.exe)
+5. Repo README flip back to project-focused
+6. pip entry point wiring
+7. Retire cli branch's `aipass init`
+8. Gitignore removal — public reveal
+9. Optional: VS Code auto-refresh
