You are the great_cto promotion command. When a POC has shipped (`/poc decide → SHIP`), `/promote <slug>` runs the audits that POC mode skipped — turning throwaway POC code into production-grade work.

Guard: target POC exists and is marked Shipped

SLUG="$1"
TARGET="${2:-production}"
[ -z "$SLUG" ] && { echo "Usage: /promote <poc-slug> [mvp|production]"; exit 0; }
POC_FILE="docs/poc/POC-${SLUG}.md"
[ ! -f "$POC_FILE" ] && { echo "No POC found at $POC_FILE"; exit 0; }

STATUS=$(grep -m1 "^\*\*Status\*\*:" "$POC_FILE" | sed 's/.*: //')
if [ "$STATUS" != "Shipped" ]; then
  echo "POC-${SLUG} status is '${STATUS}', not 'Shipped'."
  echo "Run /poc decide first to complete the POC ritual."
  exit 0
fi

[ "$TARGET" != "mvp" ] && [ "$TARGET" != "production" ] && { echo "Target must be 'mvp' or 'production'"; exit 0; }

Promotion audit — run in order

The promotion audit fills in what POC mode skipped. Each step is a **gate** — if it fails, promotion halts and the CTO addresses the gap before continuing. Do not silently pass.

Step 1 — Full ARCH document

POC mode allowed a 1-pager. Production requires a full ARCH.

• Invoke `architect` agent via Agent tool with instruction:

"Expand POC-<slug> into a full ARCH document at `docs/architecture/ARCH-<slug>.md`. Use the POC hypothesis, criteria, and evidence as input. Include all standard sections (Problem, Decision with alternatives, Components, API contracts, DB migration, Non-goals, Implementation tasks, DoD, Cost Estimate, Requirements Checklist). Respect archetype-specific requirements — if archetype is ai-system / commerce / web3 / iot-embedded / regulated / fintech, the `## Security` section is mandatory."

• Verify output exists:

  [ -f "docs/architecture/ARCH-${SLUG}.md" ] || { echo "BLOCKED: ARCH doc not produced"; exit 1; }

Step 2 — Threat model (archetype-aware, v1.0.134)

ARCHETYPE=$(grep "^archetype:" .great_cto/PROJECT.md | awk '{print $2}')
TM="docs/sec-threats/TM-${SLUG}.md"
mkdir -p docs/sec-threats

case "$ARCHETYPE" in
  ai-system|agent-product)
    # Delegate to ai-security-reviewer specialist (v1.0.134+) — full OWASP LLM Top 10 coverage.
    # PoC TM was 3 sections minimum; production needs full 6 sections + sign-off table.
    echo "Promote: invoke ai-security-reviewer for full TM at $TM (was PoC lite version)"
    # Task(subagent_type='ai-security-reviewer', prompt='full pre-impl TM for promotion of ${SLUG}')
    ;;
  commerce|web3|iot-embedded|regulated|fintech)
    echo "Archetype '$ARCHETYPE' requires full threat model."
    # Invoke /sec threat ${SLUG} (security-officer pre-impl mode)
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Threat model optional for archetype '$ARCHETYPE' — recommended if feature touches auth/payments/PII."
    ;;
esac

# Hard halt: TM file exists + Critical/High threats signed off (no __pending__)
if [ ! -f "$TM" ]; then
  case "$ARCHETYPE" in
    ai-system|agent-product|commerce|web3|iot-embedded|regulated|fintech)
      echo "BLOCKED: archetype $ARCHETYPE requires $TM before /promote can flip mode" >&2
      exit 1
      ;;
  esac
fi
if [ -f "$TM" ] && grep -E "^\| (P|F)-[0-9]+" "$TM" 2>/dev/null | grep -E "Critical|High" | grep -q "__pending__"; then
  echo "BLOCKED: $TM has Critical/High threats with __pending__ mitigations. Run security-officer post-impl review." >&2
  exit 1
fi

Step 2b — AI prompts + evals (ai-system / agent-product only)

PoC mode allowed prompt sketches and 3 minimum EVAL scenarios. Production needs versioned prompts with sha256 + drift detection, plus full eval coverage (≥ 5 for ai-system, ≥ 10 for agent-product).

case "$ARCHETYPE" in
  ai-system|agent-product)
    # 1. Promote prompts to ADR-PROMPT files via ai-prompt-architect
    #    Task(subagent_type='ai-prompt-architect', prompt='audit and version all prompts for ${SLUG} promotion to ${TARGET}')
    PROMPT_ADRS=$(ls docs/adr/ADR-*-PROMPT-*.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
    if [ "${PROMPT_ADRS:-0}" -lt 1 ]; then
      echo "BLOCKED: at least one ADR-PROMPT-*.md required for production. Invoke ai-prompt-architect." >&2
      exit 1
    fi

    # 2. Expand eval suite via ai-eval-engineer
    #    Task(subagent_type='ai-eval-engineer', prompt='expand PoC eval set to production coverage for ${SLUG}')
    EVAL_COUNT=$(find tests/eval -type f -name "EVAL-*.md" 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
    MIN=5
    [ "$ARCHETYPE" = "agent-product" ] && MIN=10
    if [ "${EVAL_COUNT:-0}" -lt "$MIN" ]; then
      echo "BLOCKED: production $ARCHETYPE requires ≥ $MIN EVAL files (have ${EVAL_COUNT:-0}). Invoke ai-eval-engineer." >&2
      exit 1
    fi

    # 3. monthly-budget-llm-usd must be set
    BUDGET=$(grep "^monthly-budget-llm-usd:" .great_cto/PROJECT.md 2>/dev/null | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d '$')
    if [ -z "$BUDGET" ] || [ "$BUDGET" = "0" ]; then
      echo "BLOCKED: production AI archetype requires monthly-budget-llm-usd in PROJECT.md (got: '$BUDGET')" >&2
      exit 1
    fi
    ;;
esac

Step 3 — SBOM

First production-bound SBOM for this code:

# Invoke /sec sbom — writes docs/releases/SBOM-<version>.json

Verify the SBOM has > 5 components (S1 anti-pattern check). If tool failed, halt and tell CTO to install the archetype-appropriate SBOM tool.

Step 3b — Compliance artefacts (v1.0.134)

For each value in `compliance: [...]` in PROJECT.md, verify the matching evidence artefact exists. PoC mode skipped these; production cannot.

COMPLIANCE_RAW=$(grep "^compliance:" .great_cto/PROJECT.md 2>/dev/null | sed 's/.*\[//;s/\].*//;s/,/ /g')
mkdir -p docs/compliance
for fw in $COMPLIANCE_RAW; do
  fw=$(echo "$fw" | tr -d ' ')
  case "$
