+
 ### 2. Identify Gaps, Not Features
+
 Frame requirements around what's MISSING relative to what exists.
 
+GOOD: "The existing `_render_mma_dashboard` (gui_2.py:2633-2724) has a token usage table but no cost column."
+BAD: "Build a metrics dashboard with token and cost tracking."
+
 ### 3. Write Worker-Ready Tasks
+
 Each plan task must be executable by a Tier 3 worker:
+
 - **WHERE**: Exact file and line range (`gui_2.py:2700-2701`)
 - **WHAT**: The specific change
 - **HOW**: Which API calls or patterns
 - **SAFETY**: Thread-safety constraints
 
 ### 4. For Bug Fix Tracks: Root Cause Analysis
+
 Read the code, trace the data flow, list specific root cause candidates.
 
 ### 5. Reference Architecture Docs

 - Use `manual-slop_py_get_code_outline`, `manual-slop_py_get_skeleton` to map file relations
 - Use `manual-slop_get_git_diff` for recently modified code
 - Audit state: Check `__init__` methods for existing/duplicate state variables

-Invoke the Tier 1 Orchestrator with the above context. Focus on product alignment, high-level planning, and track initialization. Follow the Surgical Methodology: audit existing code before specifying, identify gaps not features, and write worker-ready tasks.
+## Context
+
+You are now acting as Tier 1 Orchestrator.
+
+### Primary Responsibilities
+- Product alignment and strategic planning
+- Track initialization (`/conductor-new-track`)
+- Session setup (`/conductor-setup`)
+- Delegate execution to Tier 2 Tech Lead
+
+### The Surgical Methodology (MANDATORY)
+
+1. **AUDIT BEFORE SPECIFYING**: Never write a spec without first reading actual code using MCP tools. Document existing implementations with file:line references.
+
+2. **IDENTIFY GAPS, NOT FEATURES**: Frame requirements around what's MISSING.
+
+3. **WRITE WORKER-READY TASKS**: Each task must specify WHERE/WHAT/HOW/SAFETY.
+
+4. **REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE DOCS**: Link to `docs/guide_*.md` sections.

+### Limitations
+- READ-ONLY: Do NOT write code or edit files (except track spec/plan/metadata)

+- Architectural oversight
+- Delegate to Tier 3 Workers via Task tool
+- Delegate error analysis to Tier 4 QA via Task tool
+- Maintain persistent memory throughout track execution
+
+### Context Management
+
+**MANUAL COMPACTION ONLY** — Never rely on automatic context summarization.
+You maintain PERSISTENT MEMORY throughout track execution — do NOT apply Context Amnesia to your own session.
+
+### Pre-Delegation Checkpoint (MANDATORY)
+
+Before delegating ANY dangerous or non-trivial change to Tier 3:
+
+```
+git add .
+```
+
+**WHY**: If a Tier 3 Worker fails or incorrectly runs `git restore`, you will lose ALL prior AI iterations for that file if it wasn't staged/committed.
+
+### TDD Protocol (MANDATORY)
+
+1. **Red Phase**: Write failing tests first — CONFIRM FAILURE
+2. **Green Phase**: Implement to pass — CONFIRM PASS
+3. **Refactor Phase**: Optional, with passing tests
+
+### Commit Protocol (ATOMIC PER-TASK)
+
+After completing each task:
+1. Stage: `git add .`
+2. Commit: `feat(scope): description`
+3. Get hash: `git log -1 --format="%H"`
+4. Attach note: `git notes add -m "summary" <hash>`
+5. Update plan.md: Mark `[x]` with SHA
+6. Commit plan update: `git add plan.md && git commit -m "conductor(plan): Mark task complete"`

 **Manual Slop** is a local GUI application designed as an experimental, "manual" AI coding assistant. It allows users to curate and send context (files, screenshots, and discussion history) to AI APIs (Gemini and Anthropic). The AI can then execute PowerShell scripts within the project directory to modify files, requiring explicit user confirmation before execution.

-# MMA Observability & UX Specification
-
-## 1. Goal
-Implement the visible surface area of the 4-Tier Hierarchical Multi-Model Architecture within `gui_2.py`. This ensures the user can monitor, control, and debug the multi-agent execution flow.
-
-## 2. Core Components
-
-### 2.1 MMA Dashboard Panel
-- **Visibility:** A new dockable panel named "MMA Dashboard".
-- **Track Status:** Display the current active `Track` ID and overall progress (e.g., "3/10 Tickets Complete").
-- **Ticket DAG Visualization:** A list or simple graph representing the `Ticket` queue.
-    - Each ticket shows: `ID`, `Target`, `Status` (Pending, Running, Paused, Complete, Blocked).
-    - Visual indicators for dependencies (e.g., indented or linked).
-
-### 2.2 The Execution Clutch (HITL)
-- **Step Mode Toggle:** A global or per-track checkbox to enable "Step Mode".
-- **Pause Points:**
-    - **Pre-Execution:** When a Tier 3 worker generates a tool call (e.g., `write_file`), the engine pauses.
-    - **UI Interaction:** The GUI displays the proposed script/change and provides:
-        - `[Approve]`: Proceed with execution.
-        - `[Edit Payload]`: Open the Memory Mutator.
-        - `[Abort]`: Mark the ticket as Blocked/Cancelled.
-- **Visual Feedback:** Tactile/Arcade-style blinking or color changes when the engine is "Paused for HITL".
-
-### 2.3 Memory Mutator (The "Debug" Superpower)
-- **Functionality:** A modal or dedicated text area that allows the user to edit the raw JSON conversation history of a paused worker.
-- **Use Case:** Fixing AI hallucinations or providing specific guidance mid-turn without restarting the context window.
-- **Integration:** After editing, the "Approve" button sends the *modified* history back to the engine.
-
-### 2.4 Tiered Metrics & Logs
-- **Observability:** Show which model (Tier 1, 2, 3, or 4) is currently active.
-- **Sub-Agent Logs:** Provide quick links to open the timestamped log files generated by `mma_exec.py`.
-
-## 3. Technical Integration
-- **Event Bus:** Use the existing `AsyncEventQueue` to push `StateUpdateEvents` from the `ConductorEngine` to the GUI.
-- **Non-Blocking:** Ensure the UI remains responsive (FPS > 60) even when multiple tickets are processing or the engine is waiting for user input.

+## Key Features
+
+### Multi-Provider Integration
+- **Gemini SDK**: Server-side context caching with TTL management, automatic cache rebuilding at 90% TTL
+- **Anthropic**: Ephemeral prompt caching with 4-breakpoint system, automatic history truncation at 180K tokens
+- **DeepSeek**: Dedicated SDK for code-optimized reasoning
+- **Gemini CLI**: Headless adapter with full functional parity, synchronous HITL bridge
+- **MiniMax**: Alternative provider support
+
+### 4-Tier MMA Orchestration
+Hierarchical task decomposition with specialized models and strict token firewalling:

+- **Tier 2 (Tech Lead)**: Track → tickets (DAG), persistent context
+- **Tier 3 (Worker)**: Stateless TDD implementation, context amnesia
+- **Tier 4 (QA)**: Stateless error analysis, no fixes
+
+### Strict Human-in-the-Loop (HITL)
+- **Execution Clutch**: All destructive actions suspend on `threading.Condition` pending GUI approval
+- **Three Dialog Types**: ConfirmDialog (scripts), MMAApprovalDialog (steps), MMASpawnApprovalDialog (workers)
+- **Editable Payloads**: Review, modify, or reject any AI-generated content before execution
+
+### 26 MCP Tools with Sandboxing
+Three-layer security model: Allowlist Construction → Path Validation → Resolution Gate
+- **File I/O**: read, list, search, slice, edit, tree
+- **AST-Based (Python)**: skeleton, outline, definition, signature, class summary, docstring
+- **Analysis**: summary, git diff, find usages, imports, syntax check, hierarchy
+- **Network**: web search, URL fetch
+- **Runtime**: UI performance metrics
+
+### Parallel Tool Execution
+Multiple independent tool calls within a single AI turn execute concurrently via `asyncio.gather`, significantly reducing latency.
+
+### AST-Based Context Management
+- **Skeleton View**: Signatures + docstrings, bodies replaced with `...`
+- **Curated View**: Preserves `@core_logic` decorated functions and `[HOT]` comment blocks
+- **Targeted View**: Extracts only specified symbols and their dependencies
+- **Heuristic Summaries**: Token-efficient structural descriptions without AI calls

+## MMA 4-Tier Architecture
+
+The Multi-Model Agent system uses hierarchical task decomposition with specialized models at each tier:
+
+| Tier | Role | Model | Responsibility |
+|------|------|-------|----------------|
+| **Tier 1** | Orchestrator | `gemini-3.1-pro-preview` | Product alignment, epic → tracks, track initialization |
+| **Tier 2** | Tech Lead | `gemini-3-flash-preview` | Track → tickets (DAG), architectural oversight, persistent context |

+| **Tier 4** | QA | `gemini-2.5-flash-lite` / `deepseek-v3` | Stateless error analysis, diagnostics only (no fixes) |
+
+**Key Principles:**
+- **Context Amnesia**: Tier 3/4 workers start with `ai_client.reset_session()` — no history bleed
+- **Token Firewalling**: Each tier receives only the context it needs
+- **Model Escalation**: Failed tickets automatically retry with more capable models
+- **WorkerPool**: Bounded concurrency (default: 4 workers) with semaphore gating

+
+## Setup
+The MCP Bridge implements a three-layer security model in `mcp_client.py`:
+
+Every tool accessing the filesystem passes through `_resolve_and_check(path)` before any I/O.
+
+### Layer 1: Allowlist Construction (`configure`)
+Called by `ai_client` before each send cycle:
+1. Resets `_allowed_paths` and `_base_dirs` to empty sets
+2. Sets `_primary_base_dir` from `extra_base_dirs[0]`
+3. Iterates `file_items`, resolving paths, adding to allowlist
+4. Blacklist check: `history.toml`, `*_history.toml`, `config.toml`, `credentials.toml` are NEVER allowed
+
+### Layer 2: Path Validation (`_is_allowed`)
+Checks run in order:
+1. **Blacklist**: `history.toml`, `*_history.toml` → hard deny
+2. **Explicit allowlist**: Path in `_allowed_paths` → allow
+3. **CWD fallback**: If no base dirs, allow `cwd()` subpaths
+4. **Base containment**: Must be subpath of `_base_dirs`
+5. **Default deny**: All other paths rejected
+
+### Layer 3: Resolution Gate (`_resolve_and_check`)
+1. Convert raw path string to `Path`
+2. If not absolute, prepend `_primary_base_dir`
+3. Resolve to absolute (follows symlinks)
+4. Call `_is_allowed()`
+5. Return `(resolved_path, "")` on success or `(None, error_message)` on failure
+
+All paths are resolved (following symlinks) before comparison, preventing symlink-based traversal attacks.

+### Security Model
+
+The MCP Bridge implements a three-layer security model in `mcp_client.py`. Every tool accessing the filesystem passes through `_resolve_and_check(path)` before any I/O.
+
+### Layer 1: Allowlist Construction (`configure`)
+Called by `ai_client` before each send cycle:
+1. Resets `_allowed_paths` and `_base_dirs` to empty sets.
+2. Sets `_primary_base_dir` from `extra_base_dirs[0]` (resolved) or falls back to cwd().
+3. Iterates `file_items`, resolving each path to an absolute path, adding to `_allowed_paths`; its parent directory is added to `_base_dirs`.
+4. Any entries in `extra_base_dirs` that are valid directories are also added to `_base_dirs`.
+
+### Layer 2: Path Validation (`_is_allowed`)
+Checks run in this exact order:
+1. **Blacklist**: `history.toml`, `*_history.toml`, `config`, `credentials` → hard deny
+2. **Explicit allowlist**: Path in `_allowed_paths` → allow
+7. **CWD fallback**: If no base dirs, any under `cwd()` is allowed (fail-safe for projects without explicit base dirs)
+8. **Base containment**: Must be a subpath of at least one entry in `_base_dirs` (via `relative_to()`)
+9. **Default deny**: All other paths rejected
+All paths are resolved (following symlinks) before comparison, preventing symlink-based traversal attacks.
+
+### Layer 3: Resolution Gate (`_resolve_and_check`)
+Every tool call passes through this:
+1. Convert raw path string to `Path`.
+2. If not absolute, prepend `_primary_base_dir`.
+3. Resolve to absolute.
+4. Call `_is_allowed()`.
+5. Return `(resolved_path, "")` on success, `(None, error_message)` on failure
+All paths are resolved (following symlinks) before comparison, preventing symlink-based traversal attacks.

+# Specification: NERV UI Theme Integration
+
+## Overview
+This track aims to implement a new "NERV" visual theme for the manual_slop application, inspired by the aesthetic of technical/military consoles (e.g., Evangelion's NERV UI). The theme will be added as a selectable option within the application, allowing users to switch between the existing theme and the new NERV style without altering the core user experience or layout.
+
+## Functional Requirements
+- **Theme Selection:** Integrate a "NERV" theme option into the existing UI (e.g., in the configuration or theme settings).
+- **Color Palette:** Implement the "Black Void" aesthetic using absolute black (#000000) for the background and CRT-inspired phosphor colors:
+    - **NERV Orange (#FF9830):** Primary accents, headers, active borders.
+    - **Data Green (#50FF50):** Terminal output, "Nominal" status, standard data.
+    - **Wire Cyan (#20F0FF):** Structural separators, inactive borders.
+    - **Alert Red (#FF4840):** Error states, critical alerts.
+    - **Steel (#E0E0D8):** Secondary text, timestamps.
+- **Hard Edges:** Configure all UI elements (windows, frames, buttons) to have zero rounded corners (Rounding = 0.0).
+- **Typography:** Utilize a monospace font (e.g., IBM Plex Mono or the project's current monospace font) for all text to maintain a technical look.
+- **Visual Effects:**
+    - **Scanline Overlay:** Implement a subtle CRT-style scanline overlay (approx. 6% opacity).
+    - **Status Flickering:** Add subtle flickering effects to active system status indicators.
+    - **Alert Pulsing:** Implement red background or border pulsing during error or critical system states.
+
+## Non-Functional Requirements
+- **Performance:** Ensure the scanline overlay and status flickering do not significantly degrade UI responsiveness or increase CPU usage.
+- **Maintainability:** The theme should be implemented in a way that is consistent with the existing theme.py or theme_2.py architecture.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [ ] Users can select "NERV" from the theme selector.
+- [ ] The background is solid black (#000000).
+- [ ] All borders and buttons have zero rounded corners.
+- [ ] The NERV color palette is correctly applied to all UI elements.
+- [ ] The scanline overlay is visible and subtle.
+- [ ] Active status indicators exhibit the "Status Flickering" effect.
+- [ ] Errors trigger the "Alert Pulsing" effect.
+
+## Out of Scope
+- **Bilingual Labels:** Japanese sub-labels will not be implemented.
+- **Layout Changes:** No radical changes to window positioning or spacing.
+- **New Features:** This track is purely visual and does not add new application functionality.

+# Track Specification: OpenCode Configuration Overhaul
+
+## Overview
+Fix critical gaps in OpenCode agent configuration that cause MMA workflow failures. Remove step limits that prematurely terminate complex tracks, disable automatic context compaction that loses critical session state, raise temperature for better problem-solving, and expand thin command wrappers into full protocol documentation.
+
+## Current State Audit (as of HEAD)
+
+### Already Implemented (DO NOT re-implement)
+- OpenCode MCP integration working (`opencode.json:17-25`)
+- Agent persona files exist for all 4 MMA tiers (`.opencode/agents/tier*.md`)
+- Conductor commands exist (`.opencode/commands/conductor-*.md`)
+- MMA tier commands exist but are thin wrappers (`.opencode/commands/mma-tier*.md`)
+
+### Gaps to Fill (This Track's Scope)
+
+1. **Step Limits**: All agents have restrictive `steps` limits:
+   - tier1: 50, tier2: 100, tier3: 20, tier4: 5
+   - These terminate complex track implementations prematurely
+
+2. **Auto-Compaction**: `opencode.json` has `compaction.auto: true` which loses session context without user control
+
+3. **Temperature Too Low**: 
+   - tier2: 0.2, tier3: 0.1, tier4: 0.0
+   - Reduces creative problem-solving for complex tracks
+
+4. **Thin Command Wrappers**: `mma-tier*.md` commands are 3-4 lines, lacking:
+   - Pre-delegation checkpoint protocol
+   - TDD phase confirmation requirements
+   - Blocking protocol
+   - Context management guidance
+
+## Goals
+- Remove all step limits from agent configurations
+- Disable automatic compaction, enforce manual-only via `/compact`
+- Raise temperatures to 0.2-0.5 range for better reasoning
+- Expand MMA tier commands with full protocol documentation
+
+## Functional Requirements
+- All 6 agent files updated with removed `steps` and adjusted `temperature`
+- `opencode.json` updated with `compaction.auto: false, prune: false`
+- All 4 MMA tier commands expanded with context, protocols, and patterns
+
+## Non-Functional Requirements
+- No functional changes to MCP tool usage or permissions
+- Maintain backward compatibility with existing workflow
+
+## Architecture Reference
+- `docs/guide_mma.md` - 4-tier architecture, worker lifecycle, context amnesia
+- `docs/guide_meta_boundary.md` - Application vs Meta-Tooling distinction
+
+## Out of Scope
+- Model tiering (using different models per tier)
+- Changes to Gemini CLI configuration
+- Changes to conductor workflow itself
