docs(clone-app): revise fidelity design — two reports, Phase 7 trigger
Drop the CLONE_APP_MODE env-var toggle. Feasibility runs as today and yields its report; the deep fidelity pass is triggered by the Phase 7 "proceed to build a plan?" gate, reuses $WORK/output (no re-decompile), and yields a standalone fidelity report. The generated plan references both reports and targets an exact / near-exact rebuild. Rename spec to match (fidelity-pass). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## 4. Design
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.1 Mode shape
|
||||
### 4.1 Two reports, no mode flag
|
||||
|
||||
A mode selector resolved in Phase 0:
|
||||
There is **no** `CLONE_APP_MODE` env var and no toggle. The skill runs its
|
||||
existing feasibility flow start to finish and produces the feasibility report.
|
||||
The deep fidelity pass is **triggered by the Phase 7 decision gate** — the same
|
||||
"proceed to build a plan?" question the skill already asks:
|
||||
|
||||
- `CLONE_APP_MODE=fidelity` environment variable, **or** user intent phrased as
|
||||
"detailed clone / replicate in detail / klon planı" → `fidelity`.
|
||||
- Otherwise → `feasibility` (the existing default; unchanged).
|
||||
- **Phase 7 = No** → the feasibility report stands alone. Done. No fidelity
|
||||
cost paid.
|
||||
- **Phase 7 = Yes** → Phase 8 runs the deep fidelity pass, produces a standalone
|
||||
**fidelity report**, assembles the build spec from the deep artifacts, and
|
||||
hands off to `writing-plans`. The generated plan references **both** reports.
|
||||
|
||||
Phase behavior by mode:
|
||||
The fidelity pass reuses what Phase 2 already decompiled to `$WORK/output` — it
|
||||
does **not** re-download or re-decompile. Phase 2 stays as today (feasibility
|
||||
depth: Tier-2 on the auth/payment/core trio); the deepening happens in Phase 8.

`re-digest-contract.md` warning about token cost applies to the Phase 2
|

feasibility pass and is explicitly overridden for the fidelity pass.
|
||||
- **Over-promising backend fidelity.** Mitigated by confidence-stamping every
|
||||
inference in `backend-recon.md` and framing it as a rebuild target, not
|
||||
recovered server code (§3).
|
||||
- **Flutter/RN low yield.** Same `limited:` framework guard as today; the

fidelity digest says so and leans on screenshots + whatever signals exist.
