Copied from the file, not written here

Read-only verdict phase for a backlog card. `/super-bootstrap:triage {ID}` dispatches the `triage` subagent (Opus) to trace the card's root cause cold and emit a verdict artifact — auto-fix → docs/work/triage/{ID}-scope.md (Fix-shape / Probe-deps / Execution tags) or surface → {ID}-notes.md (decision for the user). No code changes — the fix is a separate phase. Use at raw-card pickup (todo board `Triage:` rows) or when the user asks to triage/investigate a BUG/DEBT/GAP item.

Triage — Read-Only Verdict Phase

Investigate-only pickup lane for a backlog card. The thinking runs in the triage subagent (agents/triage.md, model: opus); this skill is the dispatch shell + absorption protocol. The agent traces root cause cold, sizes the fix, lands one verdict artifact; the fix is a later phase that inherits the verdict.

Arguments

Invocation	Behavior
`/super-bootstrap:triage BUG-012` (any `BUG/DEBT/GAP-###` ID)	Dispatch the `triage` subagent on that card.
`/super-bootstrap:triage` (bare)	List open backlog rows with no verdict file yet; the user picks one, then dispatch.

Execution

Resolve the card: the ID's ### {ID} heading exists under docs/backlog.md § Open. Missing → report "no open row {ID}", stop. A verdict file for this ID already in docs/work/triage/ → surface its path instead of re-dispatching (re-triage only on explicit user ask; delete the stale verdict file first).
Dispatch: Agent tool, subagent_type: "triage", prompt = the card ID + today's date + the gateway-aligned problem-aim when framing sharpened or corrected the card claim (premise / problem / scenario only). Exclude cause theories and fix preferences (bias-input exclusion) — the aligned aim is the user-validated target, not a prior; the card row carries the frozen claim.
Absorb the agent's report (agents/triage.md § Reporting):
- DONE / DONE_WITH_CONCERNS — relay verdict + path. scope.md → post the route line off its Execution: tag (inline / phased → implement within the envelope, skipping what the tag skips; full → cluster route per CLAUDE.md). notes.md → surface its ## Decision needed to the user.
- NEEDS_CONTEXT — relay the named gaps; the user (or a follow-up /super-bootstrap:log amendment) supplies them.
- NEEDS_GRANTS — grant the named tooling and re-dispatch; user round-trip only when the grant itself is user-owned (cost, consent).
- BLOCKED — premise wrong; relay the counter-diagnosis to the user.
The verdict artifact rides the session's normal envelope commit — no in-phase commit.

Rules

Dispatch, don't investigate. The verdict judgment runs in the subagent's clean context; gateway priors corrupt it.
Check the verdict aim. The gateway holds the aligned problem-aim; a verdict that re-aims the problem gets surfaced to the user, not absorbed (CLAUDE.md § Framing + Route).
Weigh the verdict's grounding. A verdict resting on design-prose deduction over direct evidence is unproven — surface it for re-grounding, not adoption and not a competing gateway theory.
One card per dispatch. Batch = sequential dispatches; verdicts stay per-card atomic.
Verdict files are the state. No status fields anywhere — {ID}-scope.md / {ID}-notes.md presence IS the stage signal (shared/classify-actionable.md reads it for the todo board and drain).
Cleaner: the session resolving the card deletes its verdict file together with the row (doc-sync temporal cleanup).
