The hook emits struggle signals only after crossing internal thresholds
(3 retries, 8 tools no-prompt, 4 edits to one file, 2 build failures, etc.).
Each journal entry is therefore meaningful evidence on its own. Old rule
required >=3 entries within single session, which the once-per-thing
emission design rarely produces. New rule: >=1 struggle entry qualifies
for proposal at +2 weight (cross-session bonus does not stack).
Auto-apply still requires cross_session_evidence; single-session-only
proposals always queue for review.
- 8 friction signals via lightweight hook (correction, retry_loop, weak_agent,
tool_error_loop, dead_end, edit_churn, build_loop, subagent_dispatch_pattern)
- Deterministic confidence rubric with cross-session evidence gate
- /reflect skill to dispatch the analyst subagent and walk the queue
- Skill overlap detection (prefer skill_edit over skill_new on collision)
- Solution synthesis from transcript context for new skill drafts
- Soft-delete trash, never hard rm
- 18 tests covering all signals
