chore(planning): call the interview's record the Brief, not the contract #13185
Description
Parent
Refs: #12750. Epic: #12646. Source: PLAN Phase 10, topic planning-chain-consolidation.
Depends on
Outcome
The planning chain calls the interview's record the Brief, never "the contract": the interview checklist's "Persist the contract" step, gotchas' "Brief contract" heading, loop.md's "before the contract is persisted", and the exporter and surface-check comments say Brief. The workflow's first stage reads Interview in its list, its prose and context/steps.md.
Demo: check-vocabulary --sense contract-brief plugins/planning plugins/session-flow plugins/work-items exits 0.
The Brief (Problem, Goal, Constraints) is in the epic body.
Decisions
- Q5-Q12: contract for the Brief retired (now Brief); the workflow stage reads Interview.
- D8: versioned docs/contracts and design-stage interface contracts stay.
Done when
- AC3 for this sense: the Demo command exits 0.
-
plugins/session-flow/skills/workflow/SKILL.mdand itscontext/steps.mdname stage 1 Interview in list and prose. - Eval samples that quote the renamed checklist line (planning's
interview-*no-plan-edit/no-plan-writesamples) match the new text; planning's evals validate with no FAIL; no model evals are run. - Each touched plugin's release record follows AGENTS.md.
Out of scope
- overlay, rung and the rendered-views senses (sibling slices of chore(vocabulary): retire rung, default ladder, overlay and the other clashing senses with a checker #12750)
- Any "contract" that names a versioned docs/contracts file or an interface contract

Blocked by: #13178
Understood: a vocabulary rename across the planning, session-flow and work-items plugins. The interview's record becomes "the Brief" instead of "the contract". The workflow's first stage reads "Interview". Eval samples that quote the renamed checklist line get updated, and release records are added. The Demo command and done-when items are exact, and versioned docs/contracts and interface contracts are explicitly out of scope. I found no duplicates among the open issues. It depends on #13178 being done first.
Automated triage, applied by the lanes App.

The work-resolve-issue lane stopped on this issue (
outcome-unread): the run wrote no readable outcome file: it crashed or was cut off, which says nothing about the issue.It keeps
agent-ready, and work-unblock starts it again (retry 1 of 2).In the run's words:
Partial work is on the branch

This run started fresh from the default branch instead of resuming
work-resolve-issue/issue-13185-41848358712-1, which is behind it. That branch keeps the earlier run's commits until the next run on this issue deletes it, when no pull request uses it.
