Conflict with newly established memory-only standard
This guide tells agents to keep writing coordination artifacts into _runtime/, but the new memory-coordination suite (e.g., docs/70-79-ai-intelligence/70.09 and 70.11) explicitly bans _runtime/ for cross-agent handoffs. Shipping both docs simultaneously gives agents opposing instructions. Please align this guide with the memory-only pattern (or clearly scope the hybrid exception) so we aren’t giving contradictory directives.

_runtime/jt_site_coordination_guide.md lines 18-198: The document currently
instructs agents to write coordination artifacts to `_runtime/` which conflicts
with the new memory-only coordination standard; update the guide to use the
defined memory namespaces (jt_site/... and hugo/...) for all cross-agent
handoffs and remove or clearly scope any `_runtime/` writes as local-only
ephemeral logs (with explicit wording like "local, non-coordination artifact" if
you must keep them). Replace filesystem storage steps with memory storage steps
referencing the existing namespace conventions, ensure all "CRITICAL" notes
require memory writes, and add a short exception clause only if a true local
artifact is needed, explaining it is not for inter-agent handoff.

🧩 Analysis chain
Verify the stability of the alpha release channel.
The script uses claude-flow@alpha, which is a pre-release version. Ensure this version is stable and appropriate for production use, as alpha releases may contain bugs or breaking changes.
🌐 Web query:
What is the latest stable version of the claude-flow npm package, and are there any known issues with the alpha release channel?
💡 Result:
Latest stable release: 1.0.72 (latest non‑alpha v1.x). [1]
Alpha channel: the package publishes a 2.0.0‑alpha series (e.g. 2.0.0‑alpha.86) and the README/packaging explicitly labels it as alpha and not recommended for production. Reported alpha issues include CLI/Claude Code detection and related setup problems (GitHub issues and user reports), plus ongoing alpha bug fixes mentioned in the repo. Do not use the alpha in production without testing. [2][3]
Sources:
- claude-flow v1.0.72 (npm). [1]
- claude-flow package page showing 2.0.0‑alpha (npm). [2]
- GitHub issues / reports about alpha CLI/setup problems. [3]
Use stable [email protected] instead of the alpha channel: 2.0.0-alpha releases are explicitly not recommended for production and have known CLI detection and setup issues.

In bin/hive around line 5, the script invokes the alpha channel of claude-flow
which is unstable; replace the version specifier so the CLI uses the stable
release: change "npx claude-flow@alpha" to "npx [email protected]" in the
command, keep the existing flags and arguments intact, and verify the script
runs correctly locally or in CI after updating the version.
Fix incorrect argument expansion syntax.
The syntax "{$@}" is incorrect and will not properly expand and pass arguments to the command. This will cause the script to fail when arguments are provided.
Apply this diff to fix the argument expansion:

around lines 196 to 214, the variable equity_value_year_1 is computed but never
used; either incorporate it into the returned cost or remove it. Fix option A:
add equity_value_year_1 into the total cost calculation (e.g., include it in
total_cash or add it to the final returned value) so the method returns cash +
expected wrong-hire cost + equity value; OR Fix option B: delete the
