+threshold, plus branch-coverage telemetry read from the produced `coverage.xml`. Per the PR's
+own recorded validation, the repo-local suite reached ~73.3% total coverage and ~54.6% branch
+coverage against the ratcheted threshold. Until PR #11 merges, coverage is measured but not
+enforced on `main`.

+
+## Worker fan-out (landed on `main`)
+
+`entities/repo_team/workflow.py` wires the canonical `planning -> research -> implementation ->
+review -> validation` sequence via `agent_framework_orchestrations.SequentialBuilder`. Each
+specialist is built in `maf_starter/team_factory.py` with a distinct model tier. Long-running
+executions are dispatched through `WorkerBoundary` (`maf_starter/worker_boundary.py`), which
+returns a `run_id` immediately and exposes `pending` / `running` / `done` / `error:<msg>`
+status polling instead of blocking HTTP ingress on the full execution path.
+
+This matches the direction Microsoft is now pushing more explicitly in Agent Framework 1.0:
+workflow-native orchestration with richer graphical operator surfaces instead of a single opaque
+chat loop. Today this repo uses a sequential builder plus a custom dashboard. The intended next
+step is to keep the current specialist topology but surface it through first-party MAF UI
+primitives such as DevUI or AG-UI endpoints when the repo is ready.
+
+## Telemetry boundary — in progress (PR #12)
+
+`main` today does not have a `maf_starter/telemetry.py` module. PR #12
+(`feat(28-02): structured JSON failure telemetry + CLI fallback size guards`) adds
+`emit_failure_telemetry(event, **fields)` — a stdlib-only, never-raising function that writes
+one flushed JSON line to stderr — wired into `provider_fallback.py`'s fallback middleware at
+`provider_failed`, `fallback_step_failed`, `fallback_succeeded`, and `fallback_exhausted`
+points, plus a 1MB CLI output/prompt size guard. Until merged, provider-fallback failures are
+still caught (existing `except Exception` boundaries in `provider_fallback.py` and
+`worker_boundary.py`) but not emitted as structured telemetry.
+
+## Critic gate — in progress (PR #14)
+
+No critic module exists on `main` yet. PR #14
+(`feat(29-01): deterministic peer critic pattern-scan engine`) introduces a deterministic
+pattern-scan reviewer intended to sit after the Reviewer specialist as an additional gate.
+Until merged, review is limited to the LLM-based Reviewer agent's own assessment.
+
+## Provider routing and fallback (landed on `main`)
+
+`maf_starter/routing_policy.py` selects a model tier by task depth; `maf_starter/
+provider_fallback.py` retries across the Gemini API, optional Anthropic API, and local CLI
+providers (`gemini.cmd`, `claude`, `codex.cmd`) on heuristic quota/rate-limit errors, recording
+route-attempt history.
+
+## Approvals and bounded repo tools (landed on `main`)
+
+`maf_starter/tools.py` enforces repo-root path boundaries and blocks writes to sensitive
+targets (e.g. `.env`). `maf_starter/approval_policy.py` classifies file operations and
+validation commands so destructive or externally visible actions pause for operator approval
+via the dashboard's approval surface.

+# Decisions
+
+## ADR convention
+
+`docs/adr/README.md` establishes the convention (sequential numbering, Context/Decision/
+Consequences) but **no numbered ADR files exist in the repo yet**. Decisions to date live in
+`.planning/phases/` plan/summary pairs instead.
+
+## Phase history (`.planning/phases/`, this repo's own GSD project)
+
+| Phase | Topic |
+|---|---|
+| 01 | Workspace and durable run foundation |
+| 02 | Manager-led orchestration core |
+| 03 | Specialist delegation and routing visibility |
+| 04 | Autonomous repo execution and validation guardrails |
+| 05 | Polished operator workbench |
+| 06 | API boundary and control-plane contract |
+| 07 | Worker boundary |
+
+See each `.planning/phases/<NN-topic>/*-SUMMARY.md` for the detailed record.
+
+## Open decisions tracked in this Phase 36 refresh
+
+- **PR #11** (`feat/phase-26-coverage-gates`) — already merged to `main`; it is now the
+  compatibility baseline that exposed the remaining stale branch stack.
+- **PRs #12, #13, #14, #15, #16** — still open on GitHub but stale against current `main`.
+  Their surviving runtime, CI, and docs changes are being consolidated into one refreshed branch
+  instead of re-merging the old dependency snapshot piecemeal.
+
+## Directional decision
+
+The medium-term architecture should adopt Microsoft Agent Framework's first-party workflow and UI
+direction where it fits the local-first product:
+
+- keep manager-led orchestration as a graph/workflow problem, not a free-form chat problem;
+- prefer MAF-native workflow builders and DevUI or AG-UI style surfaces over inventing a parallel UI abstraction;
+- keep the current dashboard only as a bridge while the richer graphical workflow surface matures.
