## Review Complete

**VERDICT: approve**

**FINDINGS:**
- [src/colonyos/cli.py]: `--no-tui` flag inconsistently available across commands; CLI flags silently dropped when TUI activates
- [src/colonyos/orchestrator.py]: `run_sweep()` conflates analysis and execution success in single PhaseResult
- [src/colonyos/orchestrator.py]: `target_path` not validated before prompt injection in sweep
- [src/colonyos/orchestrator.py]: Hardcoded `"tests/"` path prefix in preflight recovery scope check
- [src/colonyos/router.py]: Heuristic `"change"` pattern can misroute major refactors to direct agent
- [src/colonyos/tui/widgets/status_bar.py]: Latent desync bug if IDLE_GLYPHS and IDLE_PHRASES have different lengths
- [src/colonyos/orchestrator.py]: `run()` function signature bloat (15+ params)
- [src/colonyos/cli.py]: `_tui_available()` import check not cached

**SYNTHESIS:**

When I first saw 9,315 lines added across 73 files I expected to find a disaster. I didn't. This is actually solid work.

The architecture makes the right call: keep the orchestrator in its own thread, use a janus queue as the bridge to Textual's async loop, freeze all messages as dataclasses so they're thread-safe by construction. That's not clever, that's correct. The adapter implements the existing 8-method PhaseUI duck-type interface without changing the contract — which means the existing Rich CLI and NullUI paths are completely untouched. Zero regression risk from the TUI itself.

The sweep command follows the established pattern (read `run_ceo()`, understand it, copy the structure). Read-only tools for analysis, standard task file output that feeds into the existing pipeline unchanged.

The smart routing is the riskiest piece — heuristic pattern matching to skip planning is playing with fire. But the fail-safe is right: review is never skipped, and unknown modes fall back to the full pipeline. The heuristic patterns need iteration (the "change" regex is too aggressive), but the architecture supports tightening without restructuring.

1933 tests pass. No TODOs. No commented-out code. The data structures are right. Ship it.
