Clean Room Refocus

Refocus realigns the current run to the declared scope, controller policy, artifact schemas, and clean-room boundary.

Refocus does not optimize, expand, or reinterpret the task. It does not invent new requirements or add behavior beyond preflight-goal.json, task-manifest.json, clean-run-context.json, ledgers, implementation plan/report, QC, and abstract delta tickets.

Use the canonical clean-room skill workflow and references in this plugin. Preserve the same clean-room boundary, role separation, artifact schemas, leakage rules, implementation-root rules, and hook expectations.

Audit

Compare current artifacts to the canonical gate checklist:

• Scope gate recorded authorization, roots, boundaries, prohibited actions, evidence handling, selected target profile, Agent 0-4 pipeline, and Agent 1.5 sanitizer role for new runs.
• Preflight goal exists for new runs, validates against preflight-goal.schema.json, and is referenced by task-manifest.json with preflight_goal_ref and preflight_goal_sha256.
• Task manifest records the required handoff_sequence and does not skip Stage 0.
• Initialization snapshot exists when init preferences were used, and reusable init-config.json drift is reported instead of silently applied.
• clean-run-context.json exists before clean roles run and excludes source roots, visual roots, contaminated roots, source index refs, visual index refs, and ledger paths.
• clean-run-context.json records artifact-only coordination: Agent 0 does not directly steer Agent 2, Agent 3, or Agent 4, and clean implementation/polish roles report to Agent 0 only at terminal status.
• When context management is enabled, the next role launch can be driven by a fresh role-session-brief.json inside the recorded budgets. controller-status.json remains contaminated-side only.
• Implementation roots are recorded, separated, and not source-derived.
• Source index or visual-index fallback preflight exists when required and remains contaminated-only.
• Decomposition produced neutral task-manifest.json units.
• Contaminated analysis wrote draft behavior specs without implementation code.
• Agent 1.5 sanitization ran before handoff, or older artifacts clearly predate the Agent 1.5 gate and require review before reuse.
• Handoff package excludes full task-manifest.json, source-index.json, visual-index.json, raw screenshots, source or visual paths, raw diffs, copied comments, copied visible words, private identifiers, exact UI palettes/layouts/iconography, source-shaped pseudocode, and contaminated ledgers.
• Agent 2 produced clean-only implementation-plan.json when the run reached that gate.
• Agent 3 produced implementation-report.json when the run reached implementation.
• Non-terminal Agent 3 implementation reports were not used as Agent 0 feedback or guidance.
• QC produced qc-report.json with schema, leakage, coverage, and abstract delta ticket status when the run reached that gate.
• Agent 4 produced polish-report.json when the run reached final polish review.
• Contaminated verification returned only abstract delta tickets.

Validate schemas and handoff hashes before trusting the artifacts. Use source-index.json or visual-index.json only on the contaminated side and only when referenced by the task manifest.

Findings

Emit missed-gate findings only:

• Missing required artifact.
• Invalid schema.
• Failed or missing leakage review.
• Invalid or stale handoff hash.
• Boundary violation or unproven root separation.
• Stale handoff compared with latest QC or ledger state.
• Stale implementation plan compared with latest clean handoff.
• Stale implementation report compared with latest implementation plan.
• Controller policy not preserved.
• Missing, invalid, or drifted preflight goal.
• Noncanonical manifests, reports, ledgers, or manual result summaries used as completion evidence. Mark these not verified unless clean-room-skill run --dry-run (or npx clean-room-skill@latest run --dry-run if the binary is not available) succeeds against the canonical task-manifest.json.
• Missing public-surface inventory parity: required public commands, APIs, config keys, protocol entries, or user-visible behaviors listed in approved specs are not mapped through behavior spec tests, implementation-plan public_contract_refs, terminal implementation reports, and coverage-ledger public_surface_coverage.

Do not suggest speculative improvements. Do not change source scope, target profile, public API, or implementation plan. If the user asks to add scope, stop and route to a new scope gate instead of silently expanding the run.

Output

Return a bounded next-action plan containing:

• Current verified gate.
• Missed gate findings.
• One to three process corrections, ordered by safety.
• The single next action the controller should take.

If root separation, authorization, or clean/contaminated boundary cannot be proven, the single next action is to stop and repair that gate.
