The per-commit clerk had three flaws, exposed by a 20-commit push where 6 of 7
rejections were false (incl. a CHANGELOG-only commit):
1. No-verdict / max-turns / timeout defaulted to REJECTED — an unfinished review
read as 'hard contradiction found'. Now a third outcome, INCOMPLETE, which is
non-blocking (the push proceeds with a warning); only a real REJECTED blocks.
2. Turn/time budget too tight (6 turns / 150s) for decision-heavy commits. Raised
defaults to 15 turns / 300s, and the prompt now biases to APPROVED when no
concrete contradiction is found ('unsure' means APPROVED, never REJECTED).
3. The skip valve matched its own feature commit because it scanned for the token
anywhere in the message. Moved to a trailer-line match so prose/subject mentions
no longer trip it.
Pre-push hook updated to treat INCOMPLETE as a non-blocking warning. The git-commit
skill documents the trailer form.

A commit whose message contains the token [clerk-skip] is auto-approved by
the pre-push clerk without spawning an agent. Intended for bulk content/data
commits — e.g. shipping thousands of generated planetary description files —
where D-record review is moot and would only burn agents on noise.
Documented in the /git-commit skill with the caveat: never use it on commits
that touch decisions/, code, or ticket-bearing work.

The clerk pre-push review spawned a single claude -p over the entire combined
diff (truncated at 50k chars) with a 3-turn budget. On a large push (e.g. 754
files / 2.8M chars) it ran out of turns before emitting a verdict, which the
wrapper defaulted to REJECTED.
Rewrite to review one commit at a time — commits are the logical units, so each
clerk agent sees a self-contained change plus its commit message (enabling the
'does this match ticket #NNN?' check). Commits are reviewed by a bounded pool of
parallel clerk agents and the verdicts aggregated (REJECTED if any commit
contradicts an active D-record). Oversized commit diffs truncate to a budget.
Adds --plan (print the per-commit plan, no agents spawned) and env knobs:
SR_CLERK_COMMIT_BUDGET / SR_CLERK_WORKERS / SR_CLERK_MAX_TURNS / SR_CLERK_TIMEOUT.

Sprint-based workflow (38 sprints) replaced by kanban + milestones.
Milestones are many-to-many with tickets and can block each other.
New: /whats-next skill (dependency-driven batch selection with Si
refinement review), /pr-process skill (renamed from pr-push, adds
review comment pickup), clerk agent + pre-push hook for D-record
consistency checks.
Deleted: sprint CLI, sprint-start/sprint-plan/sprint-status skills,
team-scoped file restrictions. Si rewritten as refinement manager.
All 19 agent briefings updated from stale PROJECT_STATE.md reference
to live ticket milestone queries.
