Loomworks — Phase 56 Step 0 Inspection Brief

Version. 0.1 Date. 2026-05-11 Status. Pre-CR scoping evidence brief. Hands to CC. Mirrors loomworks-phase-55-step-0-inspection-brief-v0_1.md adapted for conversational creation surface voice work. Author. Claude.ai. Operator: Marvin Percival. Companion document. loomworks-phase-56-scoping-note-v0_1.md (parent — the brief presupposes its voice-tune shape selection, its three-sub-arc decomposition, and its nine P56-D items, of which two are settled at v0.1: P56-D1 = Circle 2, P56-D2 = persona-based test conversations).


1. What this is

Pre-CR live-codebase verification for Phase 56 — voice work on the conversational engagement creation surface that Phase 55 shipped. The scoping note records the build shape and nine construction decisions, with two settled at v0.1 and seven on recommendations awaiting Step 0 evidence. Several decisions rest on assumptions about the Phase 55 prompt template component surface, the conversational flow handler's elicitation-question source, the Operator Layer route chrome, the prompt template loader's extension surface, and the calibration-mechanism mechanics (model, fixture format, attachment points). This brief enumerates the verifications, gives CC paste-ready commands to run on DUNIN7-M4, and defines what CC produces.

CC verifies, evidence-cites, reports verdicts. CC does not propose remediation, does not edit the scoping note, does not draft the CR, does not start build.

The brief assumes the two settled P56-D items hold:

The remaining P56-D items (P56-D3 through P56-D9) run on the scoping note v0.1 recommendations unless Step 0 evidence reshapes them. The brief flags which verification touches which P56-D.

Lens-bounded discipline note. Verification V1 is the cascade pre-emption — explicit enumeration of every voice template, prompt component, and elicitation surface before any revisions are proposed. Per manifest v0.40 §2's six-instance sharpened evidence on the lens-bounded scoping evidence cascade (now extending to build-time enumeration aperture), the discipline is "widen enumeration aperture at Step 0 rather than carry the cascade as accepted debt." V1 is the load-bearing verification here; V2 (methodology-vocabulary scan) layers on V1's enumeration.


2. Reading order before running

CC reads in this order before starting:

  1. loomworks-phase-56-scoping-note-v0_1.md (parent document; in project knowledge). Especially §What Phase 56 delivers; §Sub-arc decomposition; §Open construction decisions (the nine P56-D items); §Build sequencing intent.
  2. phase-55-cr-engagement-creation-assistance-v0_1.md (engine repo docs/phase-crs/). For the conversational creation surface CR-time design intent — particularly §5 (substrate surfaces shipped), §7 (prompt template components), §17 (acceptance gates).
  3. phase-55-implementation-notes-v0_2.md (engine repo docs/phase-impl-notes/). For the as-built voice template surface — specifically the three Phase 55 prompt template components and how they attach.
  4. phase-50-cr-companion-as-authority-and-public-form-v0_1.md (engine repo docs/phase-crs/) §7.2. For the AI-invisibility carve-out comment shape — a precedent for in-template plain-terms-discipline annotation.
  5. phase-49-cr-companion-intelligence-v0_1.md (engine repo docs/phase-crs/). For the bimodal dispatch precedent (Sonnet vs Haiku) — V8 cross-references this.
  6. loomworks-marketing-creation-flow-content-v0_3.md (in project knowledge). For the Field 4 constraint discipline that anchors the voice principles document.
  7. This brief.

3. Substrate baseline

CC confirms baseline before any verification:

Any drift from baseline → CC reports actual numbers and continues with verifications. Baseline drift is not a halt condition; baseline-vs-scoping-assumption drift is the cascade concern, captured per verification.

V0 — Build-close hygiene check (cross-cuts baseline)

Ask. Manifest v0.40 records the Phase 55 close one-time backfill that swept 16 stale phase- build branches from the engine repo. Going-forward close-protocol step 3 (delete the build branch at close) was named in v0.40 §4 as a watch-this for verification at Phase 56 close. V0 establishes the Phase 56 baseline: zero phase- branches in the engine repo at Step 0.

What to check.


cd /Users/dunin7/loomworks-engine && git branch -a | grep -E 'phase-[0-9]+' || echo "ZERO phase-* branches present"
cd /Users/dunin7/loomworks && git branch -a | grep -E 'phase-[0-9]+' || echo "ZERO phase-* branches present"

Verdict criteria.


4. The verifications

Eight verifications. V1 + V2 are load-bearing as a pair (enumeration aperture plus methodology-vocabulary scan); V3 through V8 are decomposition-verifying.

V1 — Voice template and prompt component enumeration aperture

Framing. Phase 56 voice-tunes the conversational creation surface. Phase 55 added three prompt template components for the scaffolding-level concerns (creation-intent, terminal-turn signal, commit-intent recognition); five voice templates predate Phase 55 (chat surface, grant proposals, grant emails, plus others). The scoping note assumes "five pre-Phase-55 voice templates plus three Phase 55 prompt template components" but does not enumerate the five. V1 is the cascade pre-emption: explicit enumeration of every voice template and prompt template component in the engine repo before any voice revisions are proposed.

What to check.


cd /Users/dunin7/loomworks-engine
find . -type d -name "prompts" -o -name "voice" -o -name "templates" 2>/dev/null | grep -v __pycache__ | grep -v node_modules
find . -type f -name "*.md" -path "*/prompt*" 2>/dev/null | grep -v __pycache__
find . -type f -name "*.md" -path "*/voice*" 2>/dev/null | grep -v __pycache__
find . -type f -name "*.md" -path "*/templates*" 2>/dev/null | grep -v __pycache__

Evidence expected.

Verdict criteria.

Touches. P56-D6 (per-field vs composed prompt component granularity); P56-D5 (voice principles document location relative to existing voice template directory).

V2 — Methodology-vocabulary occurrence scan

Framing. The voice gap is methodology vocabulary appearing on product surfaces. V2 scans all voice templates and prompt components enumerated by V1 for methodology vocabulary occurrences — terms that an Operator without methodology fluency would not share. The scan is the diagnostic Phase 56 work proceeds from.

What to check.


cd /Users/dunin7/loomworks-engine
# For each file path from V1's enumeration:
grep -Hn -iE "\b(voice|constraints|success conditions|engagement|memory|manifestation|shaping|rendering|assertion|shapeevent|renderevent|specialist|dispatcher|classifier|intent|skill|foray|ova|loom|induct|induction|seed)\b" <file>

Evidence expected.

Verdict criteria.

Touches. P56-D1 (Circle 2 sufficiency); the v0.1 → v0.2 reshape if WIDER fires.

V3 — Operator Layer string methodology-vocabulary scan

Framing. Cluster 1's Circle 3 question. Scoping note v0.1 leaves sub-arc 3 (OL strings) conditional on V3. The question: do OL strings on the /operator/create-engagement route carry methodology vocabulary visible to the Operator?

What to check.


cd /Users/dunin7/loomworks
find . -type f \( -name "*.tsx" -o -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.astro" \) -path "*create-engagement*"
find . -type f \( -name "*.tsx" -o -name "*.ts" \) | xargs grep -l "create-engagement" 2>/dev/null | head -20

Evidence expected.

Verdict criteria.

Touches. P56-D1 (Circle 2 vs Circle 3); sub-arc 3 active vs marker-only.

V4 — Persona variety evidence

Framing. P56-D3 (persona authorship and origin) recommends three default personas: small-business operational engagement; creative-writing serial engagement; field-research observation engagement. V4 checks the project's existing engagement-construction artifacts for evidence of persona variety the personas should reflect.

What to check.


cd /Users/dunin7/loomworks-engine
find docs -name "*discovery*" -o -name "*candidate*seed*" -o -name "*-seed-*" 2>/dev/null | head -30

Evidence expected.

Verdict criteria.

Touches. P56-D3 (persona authorship and origin).

V5 — Phase 42 conversation-turn fixture shape

Framing. P56-D4 recommends test fixture format as transcript files under tests/fixtures/voice-calibration/. V5 verifies whether existing test fixtures touching Phase 42's conversation-turn relational table already establish a fixture format convention, and whether the recommended format aligns or diverges.

What to check.


cd /Users/dunin7/loomworks-engine
find tests -name "fixture*" -type d 2>/dev/null
find tests -type f \( -name "*.json" -o -name "*.md" -o -name "*.py" \) | xargs grep -l "conversation_turn\|conversation_turns\|converse_turn" 2>/dev/null | head -10

Evidence expected.

Verdict criteria.

Touches. P56-D4 (test fixture format).

V6 — Prompt template loader extension surface

Framing. P56-D5 recommends voice principles document at docs/voice-principles-v0_1.md. V6 verifies the prompt template loader's discovery surface — specifically whether the loader reads from a documented location and whether the recommended path is consistent with that location.

What to check.


cd /Users/dunin7/loomworks-engine
grep -rn "load_prompt\|prompt_template\|load_voice\|voice_template" --include="*.py" -l | head -10

Evidence expected.

Verdict criteria.

Touches. P56-D5 (voice principles document location).

V7 — Per-field component attachment shape

Framing. P56-D6 recommends per-field prompts (five or six small prompt components, one per elicitation stage). V7 verifies whether the prompt template loader's attachment pattern supports per-field components without substrate changes.

What to check.


cd /Users/dunin7/loomworks-engine
grep -rn "creation_intent\|terminal_turn_signal\|commit_intent" --include="*.py" -l | head -10
grep -rn "intent_label\|IntentLabel" --include="*.py" -l | head -10

Evidence expected.

Verdict criteria.

Touches. P56-D6 (per-field vs composed prompt component granularity).

V8 — Sonnet availability and current usage cadence

Framing. P56-D8 recommends Sonnet for calibration. V8 verifies model availability and current usage cadence — specifically whether Phase 49's bimodal dispatch precedent (Sonnet for substantive voice; Haiku for routine classification) is being honored in current production, and what the cost / latency profile of Sonnet calls looks like at calibration time (offline) versus runtime (in CI).

What to check.


cd /Users/dunin7/loomworks-engine
grep -rn "claude-sonnet\|claude-haiku\|claude-opus\|sonnet\|haiku\|opus" --include="*.py" -l | grep -v test | head -10

Evidence expected.

Verdict criteria.

Touches. P56-D8 (LLM model for calibration); P56-D7 (build-time vs run-time calibration validation).


5. After verification

CC produces phase-56-step-0-findings-v0_1.md at /Users/dunin7/loomworks-engine/docs/phase-impl-notes/. One section per verification.

For each verification:

State classification per Phase 53 / 54 / 55 brief precedent:


6. Halt conditions

CC halts and surfaces (does not continue running verifications) if:

For all other findings, CC completes all eight verifications and produces the findings document.


7. Deliverable

CC produces a single file: phase-56-step-0-findings-v0_1.md in the engine repo at docs/phase-impl-notes/phase-56-step-0-findings-v0_1.md.

The file contains:

CC commits the findings file to the engine repo on a branch named phase-56-step-0. Does not merge. Reports the branch and commit hash back to Operator.

Operator hands the findings to Claude.ai for v0.2 absorption.
