MANDATORY: Follow the complete shared lifecycle contract in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/shared/run-lifecycle.md with declared skill validate-merged.

/validate-merged

MANDATORY: READ ENTIRE FILE before composing user-facing prose: $PWD/skills/shared/readability-style.md.

Inspect recent first-parent main merges for possible new, unfiled bugs. This is separate from /analyze-bugs: it does not fetch [BUG] issues, run bug-fix triage or deep verification, or execute fix-SHA runtime checks.

Bounds and state

Parse $ARGUMENTS before any command or Task dispatch.

The default and maximum selected work for one invocation is 20 merges. On a first run without a trustworthy state marker, inspect only the previous 48 hours and select at most 20 eligible merges. --max-merges N is the explicit cost cap; every eligible merge over that cap stays in the pending frontier. Do not accept -n, --count, or an unbounded history mode.
