<objective> Review all 999.x backlog items and optionally promote them into the active milestone sequence or remove stale entries. </objective>

<process>

1. **List backlog items:**

   ls -d .planning/phases/999* 2>/dev/null || echo "No backlog items found"

2. **Read HUNTMAP.md** and extract all 999.x phase entries:

   cat .planning/HUNTMAP.md

Show each backlog item with its description, any accumulated context (CONTEXT.md, RESEARCH.md), and creation date.

3. **Present the list to the user** via AskUserQuestion:

• For each backlog item, show: phase number, description, accumulated artifacts
• Options per item: **Promote** (move to active), **Keep** (leave in backlog), **Remove** (delete)

4. **For items to PROMOTE:**

• Find the next sequential phase number in the active milestone
• Rename the directory from `999.x-slug` to `{new_num}-slug`:

     NEW_NUM=$(node "$HOME/.claude/thrunt-god/bin/thrunt-tools.cjs" phase add "${DESCRIPTION}" --raw)

• Move accumulated artifacts to the new phase directory
• Update HUNTMAP.md: move the entry from `## Backlog` section to the active phase list
• Remove `(BACKLOG)` marker
• Add appropriate `**Depends on:**` field

5. **For items to REMOVE:**

• Delete the phase directory
• Remove the entry from HUNTMAP.md `## Backlog` section

6. **Commit changes:**

   node "$HOME/.claude/thrunt-god/bin/thrunt-tools.cjs" commit "docs: review backlog — promoted N, removed M" --files .planning/HUNTMAP.md

7. **Report summary:**

   ## 📋 Backlog Review Complete

   Promoted: {list of promoted items with new phase numbers}
   Kept: {list of items remaining in backlog}
   Removed: {list of deleted items}
