• odyssey-base.md — read after mode resolved for shared back-half (A_INTAKE, A_RESUME, GENERALIZE → DISCOVER → RECORD → END)
• odyssey-debug.md — read when mode=debug

• odyssey-planex.md — read when mode=planex
• odyssey-review.md — read when mode=review
• odyssey-ui.md — read when mode=ui </deferred_reading>

Long-running, evidence-driven iterative cycle. A single entry dispatches to one of five modes; all share the same skeleton — discovery → domain audit → fix → verify → generalize → discover siblings → persist knowledge — and iterate exhaustively until the mode's exit condition is met or escalation is required.

<mode_dispatch>

Mode selection precedence: explicit --mode <name> > intent keyword auto-detection > AskUserQuestion (Normal) / error E000 (-y).

Auto-detection from <intent> keywords (first match wins, ordered):

Keywords in intent	Detected mode
bug, crash, error, broken, fails, regression, race, leak, "why does"	debug
requirement, implement, build, add feature, deliver, "I need", user story	planex
ui, visual, layout, style, component, page, responsive, a11y, accessibility, design	ui
improve, optimize, performance, security, refactor quality, reliability, observability	improve
review, audit, check, inspect, "look over", zero-residual	review

Ambiguous / no match → Normal: AskUserQuestion (5-way mode pick) | -y: E000.

Mode registry:

Mode	Purpose	Discovery phases	Audit phase	Fix→verify pair	Unique states
debug	Symptom → root cause → fix → confirm	ARCHAEOLOGY, EXPLORE	DIAGNOSE (hypothesis test)	FIX → CONFIRM	ESCALATE_DIAGNOSIS
improve	6-dimension quality audit → diagnose → fix	SURVEY	AUDIT (6 dims) + DIAGNOSE	FIX → VERIFY	ESCALATE_DIAGNOSIS
planex	Requirement → plan → execute → verify loop	(none)	PLAN + EXECUTE	(EXECUTE) → VERIFY → FIX loop	—
review	Multi-dimension deep review → zero-residual fix	ARCHAEOLOGY, EXPLORE	REVIEW (4+ dims)	FIX → CONFIRM	—
ui	Visual survey → 6-dim audit → diverge → fix	SURVEY	AUDIT (6 dims) + DIVERGE	FIX → VERIFY	—

The back half is identical across all modes: GENERALIZE → DISCOVER → RECORD → END (see odyssey-base.md §Shared Back-Half).

On mode resolved: read the deferred workflow file for that mode + odyssey-base.md, then execute.

$ARGUMENTS

Universal flags: --mode <name> mode selector | --skip-fix audit/diagnose only, skip fix+verify | --skip-generalize skip GENERALIZE+DISCOVER | --auto no delegate confirmation | -y auto-confirm (decisions → deferred) | -c resume most recent session | --heartbeat /loop periodic progress

Mode-scoped flags:

Flag	Modes	Description	Default
--template <name>	debug, planex	Predefined strategy/criteria template	—
--dimensions <list>	improve, review, ui	Audit dimension subset	all
--fix-threshold <sev>	improve, review, ui	Severity cutoff (critical|high|medium|low|all)	all
--max-iterations N	planex	Max verify-fix cycles before escalation	3
--method agent|cli|auto	planex	Task execution method	auto
--executor <tool>	planex	Explicit CLI executor	first enabled
--skip-verify	planex	Skip post-execution validation gate	false

Run creation (per run-mode.md §Start or Resume):

# command-name is odyssey-{mode} — resolves the mode's own prepare contract and workflow
maestro run create odyssey-<mode> \
  --session YYYYMMDD-odyssey-{mode}-{topic} \
  --intent "<short goal phrase>" \
  [-- flags...]

Session: {run_dir}/outputs/ Output: session.json | evidence.ndjson | understanding.md | explore.json (debug/review only)

Output boundary: ALL session artifacts MUST target the session directory ({run_dir}/outputs/) or .workflow/state.json only. Source code modifications during fix/execute phases are in-scope but MUST be committed per action. NEVER write session artifacts outside these paths.

session.json — shared core + mode fields:

{ "mode": "debug|improve|planex|review|ui",
  "target": "", "dimensions": [],
  "patterns": [], "confirmation": null, "generalization_stats": null,
  "cross_phase_loops": 0 }

Each mode extends the core — see the mode's workflow file for session fields.

Commit convention: "odyssey-{mode}({slug}): {STATE} — {summary}" (mode = active mode short name; review mode uses odyssey-review).

All base invariants apply (evidence append-only, session-as-state, phase goal tracking, auto-commit per action, zero-residual). Additionally:

1. Evidence append-only — never delete or overwrite evidence.ndjson entries.
2. Phase goal tracking — mark each goal done/failed before transition; no silent skips.
3. Generalize is mandatory — GENERALIZE and DISCOVER execute unless skip_generalize == true. Prior-phase convergence, "no findings / all verified / zero remaining," or context pressure are NOT valid skip reasons. The phase itself determines whether patterns exist.
4. Zero-residual (improve/review/ui) — every finding MUST have a concrete action (fix / issue / decision). "Report and shelve" and blanket "pre-existing" skips are forbidden.
5. Acceptance criteria are sacred (planex) — no "close enough", no manual override without explicit escalation.
6. Browser is truth (ui) — verify in real rendering, not just code review. Diverge before converge.
7. Goal tracking 与 session 双写 — 各 phase 进入/退出时同步创建/更新 goal，补充 session.json 的 UI 可见进度。

<host_mirror>

镜像协议（状态对账由插件自动完成，LLM 只保留两个语义动作）：

动作	工具调用	说明
步进	todo({ action: "next" })	激活下一步 + 注入上游摘要 + 绑定 skill
完成宣告	goal done	触发前置校验（chain 全 completed + gates 无 failed）+ verifier

• 禁止手工 todo({ action: "create" }) / todo({ action: "update" }) 镜像任务——bridge 从 session.json 自动物化
• goal 由 bridge 从 session intent + definition_of_done 自动派生
• 压缩恢复后首个动作：maestro run brief --platform pi <run-id> 重挂协议

</host_mirror>

<self_iteration> Self-iteration (logic in odyssey-base.md) applies to each mode's discovery + audit + GENERALIZE stages:

Mode	Self-iterating stages
debug	S_ARCHAEOLOGY, S_EXPLORE, S_DIAGNOSE, S_GENERALIZE
improve	S_SURVEY, S_AUDIT, S_DIAGNOSE, S_GENERALIZE
planex	S_PLAN, S_VERIFY, S_GENERALIZE
review	S_ARCHAEOLOGY, S_EXPLORE, S_REVIEW, S_FIX, S_GENERALIZE
ui	S_SURVEY, S_AUDIT, S_DIVERGE, S_GENERALIZE
</self_iteration>

Follow base execution discipline completely. On entry: resolve mode (§mode_dispatch), then read the deferred workflow file for that mode + odyssey-base.md, and run that mode's state machine. All modes converge on the Shared Back-Half in odyssey-base.md.

Shared Phase Gates (MANDATORY, BLOCKING)

• INTAKE gate: mode resolved, target/requirement resolved, SESSION_DIR created, session.json initialized (with baseline_metrics for improve; acceptance_criteria for planex), phase_goals[] derived from flags, understanding.md §1 written. BLOCKED if no target (E001) / no requirement (planex E001) / target path not found (E002) / mode unresolved (E000).
• GENERALIZE gate: ALL 3 layers (syntax/semantic/structural) attempted with evidence logged; generalization_stats written with by_layer entries for all 3 layers; generalize goal marked. Any layer not attempted = thoroughness-floor violation (BLOCKED).
• DISCOVER gate: all hits triaged with per-item classification and reason; remaining_actionable == 0 OR loops >= max_loops with per-item reasons logged; discover goal marked. Unclassified hits = BLOCKED.

Mode-specific phase gates (Discovery, Audit, FIX, VERIFY/CONFIRM) are defined in each mode's workflow file.

<error_codes>

Code	Severity	Condition	Recovery
E000	error	Mode unresolved (-y, ambiguous intent, no --mode)	Provide --mode
E001	error	No target / no requirement (planex) / no issue (debug)	Provide target or -c
E002	error	Target path not found	Check path
W001	warning	No relevant git history / no dependency manifest / no design system	Proceed with defaults
W002	warning	Some dimension agents failed / 3 retries exhausted	Partial coverage / INCONCLUSIVE
W003	warning	Archaeology agent or delegate failure (debug/review)	Proceed with available results, log failed agent
W004	warning	Generalization 0 hits after full 3-layer scan	Advance to S_RECORD (requires all 3 layers attempted with evidence)
W005	warning	Pending decisions	Filter evidence phase=decision
W006	warning	No CLI tools (debug/review explore)	Skip explore
W007	warning	planex CLI review regression concern	Review before next iteration
</error_codes>

<success_criteria>

• Mode resolved (explicit or auto-detected); session + output files created; prior knowledge searched
• Discovery phase(s) for the mode completed with evidence (archaeology/explore/survey)
• Domain audit completed with structured findings + severity matrix (or acceptance criteria + plan for planex)
• understanding.md sections written progressively per mode
• Fix + verify/confirm (unless --skip-fix); zero-residual for improve/review/ui; all criteria pass for planex
• Multi-layer generalization + discovery triage (unless --skip-generalize); every unfixed finding individually justified
• phase_goals derived, tracked, and hardened-audited; Goal Prompt once; -y no blocking prompts
• Session resumable via -c; mode-specific completion summary emitted </success_criteria>
