### Message
> Get uiux feedback, please visit feedback folder x-ipe-docs/uiux-feedback/Feedback-20260307-190453 to get details. Feedback: "if the workflow auto-proceed dropdown set the value to auto or stop on question, then the instruction should append --execution@{keep running or keep running stop only on question} accordingly"

### Guidance Returned
> Classify as Change Request. The feedback requests modifying the instruction text generation in workflow action modals to dynamically append `--execution@{mode}` based on the workflow auto-proceed dropdown value. Use x-ipe-task-based-change-request skill to analyze impact and implement.

### Rationale
> This is a UI behavior change to an existing feature (instruction generation in workflow modals). The auto-proceed dropdown already exists; the instruction text builder needs to read its value and append the appropriate flag. Strong match for change-request skill — bounded scope, clear expected behavior.

### Message
> Get uiux feedback, please visit feedback folder x-ipe-docs/uiux-feedback/Feedback-20260307-232835 to get details. Feedback: "now when I hover on the sidemenu, it will auto expend the menu, but I expect no auto expend"

### Guidance Returned
> Classify as Change Request. The user feedback requests removing the auto-expand-on-hover behavior from sidebar section headers. The `_bindHoverExpand()` function in `sidebar.js` (lines 730-911) implements 500ms hover-to-expand/collapse for nav sections and folders. User expects sections to only expand/collapse on click, not on hover. Use x-ipe-task-based-change-request skill to analyze impact and implement.

### Rationale
> Clear UIUX feedback — existing hover-expand behavior is intentional (with pinning support) but user explicitly wants no auto-expand on hover. Bounded scope: one function in sidebar.js controls the behavior. Change request rather than bug fix since the behavior was designed this way.

### Message
> Get uiux feedback, please visit feedback folder x-ipe-docs/uiux-feedback/Feedback-20260308-155507 to get details. Feedback: "for the sidebar menu, I would like to hover to expend instead click"

### Guidance Returned
> CONTRADICTION DETECTED with TASK-789 (🔄 in_progress by Frost ❄️). TASK-789 was created from Feedback-20260307-232835 to REMOVE hover auto-expand and make sidebar click-only. This new feedback (Feedback-20260308-155507) requests the OPPOSITE: hover-to-expand instead of click. Clarification required before proceeding.

### Rationale
> Three signals (direction, timing, environment) all flag conflict: direction contradicts TASK-789's goal, timing is poor since TASK-789 is in_progress, and the environment has an active conflicting change request. Choosing `clarification` over `instruction` prevents wasted or conflicting work. The worst case of clarification is a brief delay — far better than the worst case of instruction (two contradictory changes applied).

- **Workflow:** N/A
- **Calling Skill:** x-ipe-task-based-change-request
- **Source:** human
- **Disposition:** approval
- **Confidence:** 0.95

### Message
> User selected "Yes, proceed to feature refinement for FEATURE-044-E" — confirming CR-002 is complete and routing to x-ipe-task-based-feature-refinement.

### Guidance Returned
> Approved. CR-002 (IDEA-034) completed all 8 DoD checkpoints. Proceed to feature refinement for FEATURE-044-E as the primary affected feature. Classification: modification. Next skill: x-ipe-task-based-feature-refinement.

### Rationale
> User explicitly selected the recommended option from a 3-choice prompt. All context aligns: CR-002 is documented, DoD verified, spec version histories updated. Natural workflow continuation — no risk of scope expansion.

### Suggested Skills
> suggested_skills:
>   - skill_name: "x-ipe-task-based-feature-refinement"

- **Source:** human
- **Disposition:** instruction
- **Confidence:** 0.92

### Message
> "I find one overrun fact, DoD and DoR in some skill getting longer and longer, why not let's update the skill creator skill to limit the dor and dod with maximum checks, and leave it's check for most critical check points if it's over maximum capacity. then reflect all existing skills with DoR and DoD"

### Guidance Returned
> Two-part instruction: (1) Update x-ipe-meta-skill-creator to enforce maximum checkpoint limits in DoR/DoD sections — when over capacity, retain only the most critical checkpoints. Update templates and validation rules accordingly. (2) Audit all existing skills with DoR/DoD sections and trim to comply with the new limits. Route via x-ipe-meta-skill-creator skill (update itself first, then audit).

### Rationale
> User is the framework architect who just completed TASK-797 (skill validation audit). Observation of DoR/DoD overrun is evidence-based. The request is clear, two-part, and well-scoped. instruction disposition chosen because intent is unambiguous and aligns with current workflow momentum. Confidence 0.92 — slight deduction only because exact max number is left to implementation judgment.

>     match_strength: "strong"
>     reason: "The skill being modified IS the skill-creator. Use it to update itself (templates + validation), then audit all skills."
>     execution_steps:
>       - phase: "1. Identify Skill Type"
>         step: "1 — Identify as meta skill update"
>       - phase: "4. Round 1: Meta + Draft"
>         step: "4 — Draft updated template with max checkpoint rules"
>       - phase: "5. Round 2: Reflect + Tests"
>         step: "5 — Validate updated templates against existing skills"
>       - phase: "8. Merge/Iterate"
>         step: "8 — Merge if pass, iterate if fail"
>       - phase: "9. Cross-References"
>         step: "9 — Audit all existing skills for compliance"

### Follow-up
> None — proceed to task creation and skill-creator execution
