 8. =[ -f todo.org ] && .ai/scripts/task-review-staleness.sh todo.org 7 || true= — count top-level tasks overdue for review (the daily task-review habit's startup nudge). The =[ -f todo.org ]= guard skips projects without a root todo.org; =|| true= keeps Phase A from failing if the script isn't synced yet. Threshold 7 days is one review cycle of slack — softer than the wrap-up health check's 30-day alarm.
 9. =bash ~/code/rulesets/scripts/sync-language-bundle.sh "$PWD" 2>/dev/null || true= — language-bundle freshness for the current project. Fingerprint-detects which bundle (if any) the project has, auto-fixes drifted rulesets-owned files (=.claude/rules/*.md=, =.claude/hooks/*=, =githooks/*=), and surfaces drift in =settings.json= without writing it (a project may have customized it). =CLAUDE.md= is deliberately left untracked — it's seed-only in =install-lang= and project-owned afterward, mirroring how =diff-lang= skips it. Quiet when there's no bundle or everything's clean. Hardcodes the rulesets path because =languages/= is the canonical source and lives only there — the same absolute-path dependency the rsyncs already carry. =|| true= keeps Phase A from failing on older checkouts where the script isn't present yet. The =.ai/= rsyncs and this call write to disjoint paths (=.ai/= vs =.claude/=/=githooks/=), so the batch stays parallel-safe.
 10. =[ -f "$HOME/org/roam/inbox.org" ] && grep -cE '^\*\* ' "$HOME/org/roam/inbox.org" || true= — count items in the roam global inbox (=~/org/roam/inbox.org=), the inbox-zero startup nudge. Silent if the roam clone isn't on this machine. Phase C reads the file when the count is non-zero, splits total vs items related to this project, and surfaces the offer (see =inbox-zero.org=). Read-only; never files at startup.
+11. KB surface prep (the read + contribute startup nudges; see =docs/design/2026-06-16-encourage-kb-contribution-spec.org=). Gated on the agent KB clone. Counts =:agent:= nodes, lists up to 5 whose content matches the current project basename (titles only; a few most-recent nodes as a fallback when nothing matches), and resolves the best-practices node path. Read-only; silent when the clone is absent. Phase C surfaces the relevant titles (consult) and the best-practices link (contribute).

 Notes on the rsync commands:
 - Trailing slashes on both source and destination matter — they tell rsync to sync /contents/ rather than nest a directory inside.
@@ -183,6 +197,8 @@ This phase touches the user and runs sequentially:
    - Briefly note significant template updates noticed during sync (new workflows, protocol changes).
    - *Task-review nudge.* If the Phase A staleness count (step 11) is greater than zero, surface one line: "=<N>= top-level tasks unreviewed for >7 days — say 'let's do a task review' to run a cycle." If zero, say nothing.
    - *Roam inbox nudge.* If the Phase A roam-inbox count is greater than zero, read =~/org/roam/inbox.org=, split total vs items related to this project (claimed by the =<project>:= prefix, plus any unprefixed item whose topic plainly concerns this project), and surface one line: "Roam inbox: =<N>= total, =<M>= appear related to this project — say 'inbox zero' to file them." Offer it as a priority option; never auto-file. If the count is zero or the file is absent, say nothing. See =inbox-zero.org=.
+   - *KB consult nudge (read side).* If the Phase A KB-surface prep returned any =kb-relevant-titles=, surface one line listing them (capped 5): "KB lessons that may be relevant: =<title>=; =<title>=… — open the node before related work." The titles are declarative, so the list alone tells you whether to open one. Gated on the roam clone; silent when the clone is absent or nothing relevant surfaced. See the best-practices node and =knowledge-base.md=.
+   - *KB contribute nudge (write side).* Once per session, surface one line pointing at the best-practices node (the =kb-bestpractices= path from Phase A): "Learned something durable? See =<path>= for how to write a KB node — contributing cross-project facts is welcome (personal projects only; work/unknown projects never write per =knowledge-base.md=)." Light encouragement, never a gate. Gated on the roam clone; silent when absent.
    - *Language-bundle sync.* If the Phase A step-12 call (=sync-language-bundle.sh=) printed anything, surface it. =fixed= lines are informational — the drift was already repaired (note that =.claude/= is now dirty if the project commits it). A =drift= line on =settings.json= is surface-only and needs the printed =make install-<lang> PROJECT=.= to reconcile; flag it so the user can decide. If the call was silent, say nothing.
    - *Newly-installed symlinks.* If the Phase A.0 =make install= step printed any =link= / =relink= / =WARN= line, surface it. A =link= line means a skill, rule, hook, or script added to rulesets is now linked into =~/.claude= for the first time on this machine. For a newly-linked *skill*, check the agent's available-skills list: if the harness already registered it mid-session, note it's available and move on; if it's absent, stop and tell Craig to restart the agent so it loads (whether a mid-session reload works is harness-version-dependent). For a newly-linked *hook*, note that the harness reads hooks at session start — it fires from the next session (or after Craig opens =/hooks= once); its settings.json wiring travels with the tracked file, so the link is usually the only missing piece. A =WARN ... not a symlink= line is a real collision at the target path — surface it; it needs a human. If the step printed only "nothing new to link", say nothing.
    - *Template-sync churn (safety net).* Check whether Phase A's rsync left uncommitted churn in the synced =.ai/= paths — accumulated from a prior session that crashed before wrap-up, or freshly added this session when rulesets advanced. Without surfacing, it builds up silently until it blocks Phase A.0's auto-ff (git won't ff a dirty tree). Skip in the rulesets repo itself (there =.ai/= is a committed mirror, kept honest by the pre-commit hook). The check is sequential here, after the rsync has finished — not a Phase A step, to keep that batch race-free.
