A small update that aligns Phanes with the new Claude Opus 5 model.

The Model & Effort rubric now names Opus 5 in place of Opus 4.8 at all three Opus-tier assignments: every Critic at high (xhigh for security-critical or money-critical review), the Orchestrator role at high, and the architect/designer, Synthesizer/Arbiter, high-ambiguity planning and security or monetary design work at xhigh. The use cases behind those assignments have not moved, only the model generation they name, so nothing about how Phanes routes work has changed.

Also in this release:

  • The README "How to use" section now recommends launching the session at high reasoning effort (claude --effort high, or CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL=high), with xhigh for design-heavy runs. Effort is set once at launch and governs the primary session and every sub-agent it spawns.
  • The workflow diagram now shows the branch it was missing: a single task, or a plan of 4 or fewer steps, is triaged and run directly, while a plan of 5 or more steps is handed to the ephemeral Orchestrator that batches 1 to 3 consecutive steps and returns a session summary and a short receipt.
  • New guidance that the setup performs best when you write a multi-step, phase-grouped plan first and then let the run work through it.
  • The script template library is re-stamped to v3.2.1 so the version-pinned fetch path stays in lockstep. Script contents are unchanged.

Upgrading: nothing breaks. An installed v3.2 project keeps working as is and can pick this up whenever convenient by running /phanes, or /phanesupgrade if you prefer the checklist route.
