What this adds

• One plan file. harness/templates/feature.md is removed. The owner's request now goes in plan.md § Request.

• One closing record. harness/templates/retro.md is removed. The feature's learnings file holds the retro:

  • § What went wrong, one line per miss with its cause and evidence, or None.;
  • action items, only from those lines.

  harness/SETUP.md § Retrospective is shorter, and the rules on items stay. When the prune folds an entry, it keeps the miss lines, so a later prune can see a problem come back. scripts/evidence.sh now finds bug mode by the Escaped line.

• Fewer hand-off checks.

  • After a QA pass, the main chat reads QA's record instead of re-running the checks.
  • Screenshots are checked once, before QA.
  • The project fact docs become Full-stack plan steps, each with an acceptance criterion QA checks.
  • The close takes three steps: the cost script, the learnings file, then the commit and the prune counter in one call.

• Only the checklist groups a plan needs, in one call. The group index moves into harness/TECHNICAL_LEAD.md, which the main chat reads in full anyway. No skip condition is narrower than before:

  • Planning, Testing and Process always run;
  • the Security, Data and Release conditions now also cover changes to existing permissions, schemas and schedules.

• Self-test: a new check_lean_records check covers:

  • the removed templates and any doc that still names them;
  • § Request and § What went wrong;
  • no re-run after QA, and the close;
  • the index against the checklist's groups, ranges and skip conditions;
  • the step 4 that other docs cite.

  The evidence.sh test gains a bug-mode case.

• The update note updates/2026-11-04-lean-full-records.md has a reviewed: line, because Full-stack's ownership limits change. There is also a changelog fragment.

Checks:

• STRICT=1 bash scripts/kit-selftest.sh passes: 4 fixtures, 0 problems.
• check-updates and check-lessons report 0 problems.
• On the negative test, the old kit fails the new checks (34 problems on nextjs-supabase).
