You are testing the setup-phase contract of the migrated command /spec_kit:complete.

# RUNTIME RULES
- Inline Codex execution. Do NOT call SpawnAgent / collab / Task / sub-agent.
- Gate 3 answer: D) Skip spec-folder creation. Stdin is closed.
- Do NOT load the paired YAML workflow. Stop at the end of section zero setup resolution.
- Do NOT write any files outside /tmp/. Read-only inspection of the command markdown is allowed.

# YOUR TASK

1. Read .opencode/commands/spec_kit/complete.md section zero (UNIFIED SETUP PHASE or equivalent).
2. Verify this command's section zero cites .opencode/skills/system-spec-kit/references/workflows/auto_mode_contract.md (the shared three-tier auto contract).
3. SIMULATE a dispatch of /spec_kit:complete:auto with the following PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS in the prompt body:

```
PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:
  feature_description: tiny test feature for setup verification
  spec_folder: new
  execution_mode: AUTONOMOUS
  intent: feature
```

4. Walk through Tier-1 logic step by step. Determine which Tier the resolution lands in.
5. Report:
   - Citation present: yes/no with line number
   - Section zero Tier reached: 1 / 2 / 3
   - Setup question emitted: yes / no (CRITICAL — yes under Tier 1 means migration failed)
   - Resolved field map: list each setup field with its final value
   - STATUS value: PASSED / BLOCKED / fail-fast error
   - Verdict: PASS or PARTIAL or FAIL
     - PASS = Tier 1 resolved without question
     - PARTIAL = Tier 2 reached logically
     - FAIL = legacy Q-block emitted or hang

# OUTPUT
One markdown message with the 6 report fields. Do not edit files. Do not call SpawnAgent.

I’ll keep this read-only and stop at section-zero resolution. The user already pre-bound Gate 3 as skip, so I’m only inspecting the command markdown and simulating the setup contract.

11:> **Ownership:** Markdown owns setup (resolves all inputs). YAML owns execution (dispatches steps). Setup values resolved here are passed to the YAML workflow.
28:- **ALL** agent dispatching is handled by the YAML workflow steps — this document is setup + reference only
37:## 0. UNIFIED SETUP PHASE
39:**FIRST MESSAGE PROTOCOL**: For `:confirm` or no suffix, the consolidated setup prompt MUST be your FIRST response. No analysis, no tool calls — ask ALL questions immediately, then wait.
41:Read-only discovery to classify folder state is allowed when `spec_path` is explicit or can be inferred from the setup answers. Healthy folders keep the existing prompt shape; non-healthy folders run the intake contract (`.opencode/skills/system-spec-kit/references/intake-contract.md`) inline inside the same consolidated prompt and MUST NOT open a second visible command flow.
43:For `:auto`, do not emit the consolidated prompt by default. Resolve setup with the three-tier branch below, then load the auto YAML only after all required values are bound.
47:Setup contract: see `.opencode/skills/system-spec-kit/references/workflows/auto_mode_contract.md`.
51:1. **Tier 1 — Resolve confidently** (contract §1): parse `$ARGUMENTS` flags + `PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:` block (§2) + the Default Resolution Table below (§3). When every required field is resolved, persist to `{spec_path}/complete-config.json` (shape: `featureDescription`, `specPath`, `executionMode: "auto"`, `dispatchMode`, `memoryChoice`, `researchIntent`, `researchIntegration`, `phaseDecomposition`, `phaseCount`, `phaseNames`, `intake.*`), bind runtime YAML placeholders, set `STATUS: PASSED`, load `.opencode/commands/spec_kit/assets/spec_kit_complete_auto.yaml`. End §0.
53:2. **Tier 2 — Targeted ask** (contract §1): when 1-2 required fields are genuinely ambiguous AND no default exists, emit ONE narrow question per ambiguous field. Command-specific Tier-2-eligible fields (per the Default Resolution Table below): `spec_folder`, `research_intent`. **Ordering rule**: none needed. Missing `feature_description` is absence, not ambiguity — go to Tier 3.
55:3. **Tier 3 — Fail fast** (contract §4): emit the named-missing-inputs error format with `/spec_kit:complete:auto` as the command name. Exit non-zero. Do not load YAML.
57:`:confirm` path stays unchanged — see the consolidated setup prompt section below.
59:### PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS Schema (for `:auto` non-interactive dispatch)
61:The dispatched prompt body may contain one structured marker block. Parse it before applying defaults. Grammar: see `auto_mode_contract.md` §2.
64:PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:
85:Rules: see `auto_mode_contract.md` §2 (unspecified fields fall back to default; marker fields take precedence over `$ARGUMENTS` flags; unknown fields warn; malformed lines parse-error).
89:| Field | Required | Resolves Via | Default | Tier-2 Candidate |
110:**STATUS: BLOCKED**
218:10. SET STATUS: PASSED
265:**Outputs:** Complete spec folder with all artifacts, refreshed `graph-metadata.json`, and `STATUS=<OK|FAIL|CANCELLED>`
316:| (default) | `/spec_kit:complete "feature"` | Ask user to choose mode during setup |
354:- Execute phase decomposition pre-workflow before Step 1 (after setup):
418:After setup phase passes, load and execute the appropriate YAML prompt:

Found the setup section and the shared contract reference. I’m reading the relevant lines now so the report can cite exact line numbers and avoid inferring from a grep hit alone.

One subtlety: the pre-bound block uses `intent: feature`, while section zero’s schema names the required field `research_intent`. I’m checking whether section zero defines an alias before deciding Tier 1 versus Tier 2.

3:description: Canonical three-tier `:auto` setup-resolution contract shared by every user-invokable `/command:*:auto` surface. Defines tier semantics (resolve → targeted ask → fail-fast), `PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:` marker grammar, default-resolution table format, fail-fast error template, `:confirm` invariance, and verification protocol.
8:This reference module defines the single canonical `:auto` setup-resolution contract used by every user-invokable `/command:*:auto` surface in spec-kit (`/spec_kit:*`, `/create:*`, `/improve:*`). Each command's §0 cites this contract and supplies only its own per-field Default Resolution Table + `PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:` field list. The contract semantics, marker grammar, error format, and verification protocol live here.
20:### Tier 1 — Resolve Confidently
25:2. **`PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:` block in the prompt body** — see §2 for grammar. Caller's explicit prompt-body binding wins over `$ARGUMENTS` when both are present
26:3. **Documented per-field defaults** — see the command's own Default Resolution Table (§3) for which fields carry sensible defaults
28:After resolution: if every required field has a value, persist the resolved map to the command's working-config file (e.g. `deep-review-config.json`, `plan-config.json`), set `STATUS: PASSED`, load the paired YAML workflow. Do NOT emit any setup question. End §0.
30:### Tier 2 — Targeted Ask
32:Use Tier 2 ONLY when Tier 1 leaves one or two required inputs unresolved AND each unresolved field is genuinely ambiguous AND no sensible default exists.
35:- Emit ONE narrow question per ambiguous field, naming only the ambiguous field. NEVER the full consolidated Q-block from the legacy setup phase.
36:- If two fields are ambiguous but one's resolution likely makes the other obvious (e.g. `review_target_type` may make `spec_folder` self-evident), ask the first one first; do not bundle multiple ambiguities into a single prompt.
38:- Wait briefly for user reply. If an answer arrives, merge it into the resolved map and re-run Tier 1 from the default-application step. If stdin is closed (`</dev/null`, redirected output, non-interactive dispatch) and no answer arrives, fall through to Tier 3. Never wait indefinitely.
42:Use Tier 3 when `:auto` still has unresolved required inputs after Tier 1 and Tier 2, OR when Tier 2 produced no answer because stdin is closed.
48:## §2. PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS Schema
50:The `PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:` block is a structured marker the dispatched AI parses out of the prompt body. It allows callers to pre-bind setup field values without using individual `$ARGUMENTS` flags.
52:Grammar (YAML-style key/value, one field per line):
55:PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:
56:  <field_name>: <value>  # optional inline comment
57:  <field_name>: <value>
63:- The block opens with `PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:` (exact case-sensitive heading, followed by colon). Indentation MAY be inside a markdown fenced code block or inline in the prompt text.
64:- Each field is `  <key>: <value>` indented two spaces, one per line.
67:- Unknown fields produce a warning (do not abort), so callers may include forward-compatible fields.
68:- Fields not specified fall back to: command-specific Default Resolution Table → command-specific default value → unresolved (triggers Tier 2 or Tier 3 per §1).
69:- Malformed lines (e.g. missing `:`, malformed value type) emit a parse error naming the line. Known fields parsed before the error may still be used; remaining unresolved fields continue to Tier 2 or Tier 3.
70:- A second `PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:` block in the same prompt body produces a duplicate-block error.
78:Every command MUST publish a Default Resolution Table in its §0 (after citing this contract). The table lists each setup field with the following columns:
85:- **Field**: the field name (matches the schema in §2 and the question label in the legacy consolidated Q-block).
87:- **Resolves Via**: ordered list of resolution sources, e.g. `flag → $ARGUMENTS` / `marker → PRE-BOUND` / `default → "<value>"` / `auto-detect from <other field>` / `requires-ask`.
88:- **Default**: the documented default value when no flag, marker, or auto-detection applies. May be `none` (no default — Tier 2 or Tier 3 candidate).
91:A field is a Tier-2 candidate only when ALL of:
95:- The field is genuinely required (Required=`Y`).
106:  - <field>: <why-unresolved>
107:  - <field>: <why-unresolved>
108:Resolution: provide via $ARGUMENTS flags, PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS: block, or switch to :confirm mode for interactive setup.
114:- One bulleted line per unresolved required field.
115:- `<why-unresolved>` is one short phrase: "missing — no flag, no marker, no default" or "ambiguous — Tier 2 received no answer (stdin closed)".
135:### Trace A — Tier 1 pass
138:### Trace B — Tier 2 targeted ask
139:Dispatch with exactly one ambiguous required field. Expected: ONE narrow question naming only that field; NEVER the full consolidated block.
164:- [ ] Provides its own per-field Default Resolution Table (§3) listing every Q-block field with the four columns
165:- [ ] Provides its own `PRE-BOUND SETUP ANSWERS:` field list (one row per setup field, matching the Default Resolution Table)

codex
- **Citation present:** yes, line 47: `.opencode/skills/system-spec-kit/references/workflows/auto_mode_contract.md`

- **Section zero Tier reached:** 2  
  Tier 1 fails because `research_intent` is required at line 96 and has no default. The pre-bound field is `intent: feature`, but section zero’s schema/table does not define `intent` as an alias for `research_intent`.

- **Setup question emitted:** yes, but only a Tier-2 targeted ask for `research_intent`; no legacy consolidated Q-block.

- **Resolved field map:**
  - `feature_description`: `tiny test feature for setup verification`
  - `spec_folder`: `new`
  - `execution_mode`: `AUTONOMOUS`
  - `dispatch_mode`: `single_agent`
  - `memory_choice`: `skip`
  - `research_intent`: unresolved
  - `research_integration`: `false`
  - `phase_decomposition`: `false`
  - `phase_count`: `3`
  - `phase_names`: none
  - `phase_folder`: none
  - `selected_level`: none
  - `start_state`: auto-detect / not reached
  - `repair_mode`: none
  - `record_relationships`: `false`
  - `depends_on`: none
  - `related_to`: none
  - `supersedes`: none

- **STATUS value:** fail-fast error after Tier 2 receives no answer because stdin is closed.

- **Verdict:** PARTIAL  
  Migration avoided the legacy Q-block/hang, but Tier 1 did not fully resolve from the supplied pre-bound answers.
