 ## Priority: 2
 ## Progress: 100
 
-## Current Session (2026-06-04) — post-release docs polish + Node 20 CI fix
+## Current Session (2026-06-05) — obs dispatcher shadowing: plan → review → merge [dev]
+
+**Session activity:**
+- **Phase 1 — removed dead `obs` dispatcher** (`222c43b2`): it shadowed the real `/opt/homebrew/bin/obs` (obsidian-cli-ops) but needed a `python/obs_cli.py` flow-cli never ships, so a function-beats-binary lookup made the broken dispatcher win in every shell. Deleted `lib/dispatchers/obs.zsh`, `zsh/functions/obs.zsh` (symlink), `man/man1/obs.1`, `tests/test-obs-dispatcher.zsh`; scrubbed obs from inventories (`flow.plugin.zsh`, help-compliance/browser, `commands/{flow,alias,doctor,tutorial}.zsh`) + dangling SEE ALSO obs(1) refs. **15 → 14 dispatchers.** Verified: `type obs` → binary, not function.
+- **Phase 2 — B3 binary-precedence guard** (`f28b7007`): `flow.plugin.zsh` wraps each `lib/dispatchers/*.zsh` source in `_flow_load_dispatcher` — diffs `${(k)functions}` and `unfunction`s any new command resolving to a PATH binary, unless in `FLOW_INTENTIONAL_SHADOWS=(r mcp cc)` or `FLOW_FORCE_DISPATCHER_<NAME>=1`. Keys on real defined names (skips `_*` helpers, no filename convention — chosen over spec B1 which broke on `em`/`email-dispatcher`). New guard test `test-dispatcher-binary-precedence.zsh` (16/16); net test files unchanged (211). Reviewed: scope is dispatcher files only, so `at` (shadows `/usr/bin/at`, defined in `atlas-bridge.zsh`) is correctly untouched.
+- **Docs** (`67b0071d`): 15 → 14 dispatcher sweep across ~30 active files + repaired mkdocs nav (tutorial 41 deleted); `mkdocs build --strict` ✅. Historical CHANGELOG/RELEASES/specs/.archive left frozen per convention.
+- **Note:** a second concurrent session shared this worktree and authored the Phase 1/Phase 2 commits in parallel (stopped mid-session by user); this session verified all three commits and added the docs commit.
+
+**Dev-session arc (this session):**
+- **Planned** the fix: `/brainstorm` → caught that spec's Option B keyed the guard on *filename* (only correct for `obs`; `em`↔`email-dispatcher` + helper files break it) → corrected spec to B3; man-page ownership handoff to obsidian-cli-ops; worktree + ORCHESTRATE plan.
+- **Reviewed PR #460** → applied review fixes on the feature branch: guard perf (batch `${(k)functions}` snapshot once + fork-free `${commands}` → ~10ms startup cost eliminated), doc scrub (3 stray obs refs), documented `FLOW_INTENTIONAL_SHADOWS`/`FLOW_FORCE_DISPATCHER_*` env vars, **added empty-array footgun regression test → 16→18 checks**.
+- **Merged** PR #460 (`fc00837f`) + PR #459 (`d611e370`, clears the pre-existing `dogfood-scholar-config-sync` fail) → worktrees removed, remote branches deleted, dev synced. Suite now fully green (1 expected `e2e-em-dispatcher` timeout only).
+- **`/craft:site:update`:** drift scan clean (obs sweep already landed), `mkdocs --strict` clean, bumped one `.TH` example 7.8.0→7.8.1 (`be5bbd06`).
+- **Memory:** updated merge-policy (Claude may merge feature+release PRs when asked; two-tier guardrail behavior), obs guard (merged state + perf + `${+arr}`/define-once gotchas), 2 ZSH gotchas, 2 workflow notes.
+- Companion: obsidian-cli-ops `obs.1` man page already merged (PR #25 + tap #110).

 **Session activity:**
 - Audited `docs/index.md` admonition boxes against v7.8.1 — all accurate (links/assets resolve, counts match `.STATUS`); bumped "What's New" header v7.8 → v7.8.1 (944f1617)
@@ -20,6 +36,7 @@
 - **Fixed at root** (148e257a): replaced caching step in `test.yml` with preinstall-aware `command -v zsh ||` install guard — drops a third-party action, no Node-24 opt-in flag needed; verified green on dev (`Ensure zsh is installed` ✅, no warning)
 - **PR #457** (dev→main CI fix) → CI CLEAN → merged main → main CI green (sha 37779584), `Ensure zsh is installed` success → dev re-synced (0 ahead)
 - Cross-repo cache-action audit (grep all dev-tools siblings): craft `actions/cache@v4` already current (no change); **scribe `actions/cache@v3` → @v4** bumped + pushed to scribe dev (a8aff56) — v3 backend sunsetting. Left `peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3` (v3 is its current major). No deprecated cache actions remain workspace-wide.
+- **Debugged `ccy` "garbled prompt at startup"** (systematic): bisected through fzf → zsh-state → Ghostty → **Bun's startup kitty-PROBE** (Claude 2.1.x is a Bun binary). **NOT a flow-cli/fzf/ccy bug** — plain `claude` garbles too; terminal read flags=0 before launch. Fix = `export BUN_DISABLE_KITTY_PROBE=1` (personal `.zshrc`, verified clean). Two zsh precmd-reset attempts failed (wrong layer) and were removed. Created→dropped `feature/csi-u-diagnostic` worktree (premise obsolete once fix = 1 env var). Memory `ccy-garble-kitty-protocol.md` records cause + bisect. **Future: don't re-blame fzf/ccy for Claude startup garble.**

+## [7.9.0] — 2026-06-05 — obs dispatcher removed + binary-precedence guard
+
+### Removed

+- **`obs` dispatcher** — flow-cli's `obs` shadowed the real Homebrew `obs` binary
+  (obsidian-cli-ops) but required a `python/obs_cli.py` flow-cli never shipped, so a

+### Added
+
+- **Binary-precedence guard** (`_flow_load_dispatcher` in `flow.plugin.zsh`) — after
+  sourcing the dispatcher files, drops (`unfunction`) any newly-defined command that
+  shadows an external `$PATH` binary, so a broken dispatcher can never again mask a

+  no filename convention). Escape hatches: `FLOW_INTENTIONAL_SHADOWS` (default
+  `r mcp cc` — commands that legitimately shadow R / mcp / the C compiler) and
+  `FLOW_FORCE_DISPATCHER_<NAME>=1`; set `FLOW_DEBUG` to see skip logs. New regression
+  test `tests/test-dispatcher-binary-precedence.zsh` (18 checks).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Dogfood scholar-config check** — match the condensed CLAUDE.md format in the
+  scholar-config assertion (#459).
+- **CI Node 20 deprecation** — dropped the deprecated `cache-apt-pkgs-action` (which

+    **`obs` dispatcher removed:** flow-cli's `obs` shadowed (and broke) the real Homebrew `obs` binary — typing `obs` now runs the real tool. **15 → 14 dispatchers.**
+    **Binary-precedence guard:** the dispatcher loader now drops any command that would shadow an installed `$PATH` binary, unless allowlisted (`FLOW_INTENTIONAL_SHADOWS`, default `r mcp cc`) or forced (`FLOW_FORCE_DISPATCHER_<NAME>=1`). No dispatcher can silently mask a working tool again.
     **59 test suites** passing (211 files, 12000+ assertions).

+# 🧠 BRAINSTORM: obs dispatcher shadowing fix
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-04 · **Depth:** default · **Focus:** architecture / shell-integration
+**Pairs with:** `SPEC-obs-dispatcher-shadowing-2026-06-04.md`
+**Converged approach:** **B + A** (general binary-precedence guard **and** delete the dead obs dispatcher)
+
+---
+
+## TL;DR
+
+The spec's *direction* is right (delete `obs` dispatcher + add a general guard), but its **Option B code sketch is broken** and would not actually generalize. The guard derives the command name from the **filename**, but every real dispatcher file is named `X-dispatcher.zsh` while the command it defines is `X`. `obs.zsh` is the lone bare-named file — so the sketch works *only for obs by accident* and protects nothing else.
+
+Fixing that naming/identity gap is the real design decision hiding inside this spec.
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 Critical Finding — Option B's sketch is a happy accident
+
+The spec sketch:
+
+```zsh
+local name="${${disp_file:t}:r}"   # filename without dir/ext
+command -v "$name" ...             # is there a binary with that name?
+```
+
+Evaluated against the actual files:
+
+| File on disk | `name` derived | Command actually defined | `command -v $name` | Guard behavior |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `obs.zsh` | `obs` | `obs()` | `/opt/homebrew/bin/obs` ✅ | **Skips — correct** |
+| `g-dispatcher.zsh` | `g-dispatcher` | `g()` | (nothing) | Sources — but for the wrong reason |
+| `mcp-dispatcher.zsh` | `mcp-dispatcher` | `mcp()` | (nothing) | Sources |
+| `r-dispatcher.zsh` | `r-dispatcher` | `r()` | (nothing) | Sources |
+
+**Consequence:** the guard never tests the *real* command names (`g`, `mcp`, `r`, …). It only ever tests `obs` because `obs.zsh` is uniquely bare-named. If someone later adds `node-dispatcher.zsh` defining `node()`, the guard checks `command -v node-dispatcher` (nothing) → sources it → **re-shadows the real `node` binary.** The "general hazard" the spec set out to kill is still wide open.
+
+So Option B as written = Option A with extra steps.
+
+---
+
+## The real fork: how does the guard learn a file's command name?
+
+To make B *genuinely* general, the loader must map a dispatcher file → the command(s) it defines. Four ways:
+
+| Way | Mechanism | Pros | Cons |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **B1. Strip `-dispatcher` suffix** | `name="${${disp_file:t}:r}"; name="${name%-dispatcher}"` | Tiny diff; matches the existing convention | Relies on naming discipline; `obs.zsh` (no suffix) is the exception — but it's being deleted, so post-delete every file follows the convention |
+| **B2. Explicit registry** | A `typeset -A FLOW_DISPATCHER_CMDS=( g-dispatcher g  mcp-dispatcher mcp … )` | Unambiguous; supports multi-command files | Manual upkeep; another thing to forget when adding a dispatcher |
+| **B3. Post-source self-check** | Source the file, then for each function it defined, if a same-named **external binary** also exists, `unfunction` it (unless forced) | Uses the *actual* command names — zero naming assumptions | Heavier; must diff `${(k)functions}` before/after; ordering vs. `disable r` |
+| **B4. Per-dispatcher opt-in header** | Each file declares `# flow-command: g` and loader greps it | Self-documenting, co-located | Parsing comments at load time; perf |
+
+**Recommendation: B1** (strip the suffix). After Option A deletes `obs.zsh`, **every remaining file follows `X-dispatcher.zsh`**, so suffix-stripping yields the true command name for all of them — making the guard genuinely general with a one-line change. Keep `FLOW_FORCE_DISPATCHER_<NAME>=1` as the escape hatch. Add a **convention test** (filename must be `<cmd>-dispatcher.zsh`) so B1 stays valid as dispatchers are added.
+
+---
+
+## Edge cases pressure-test
+
+| Case | Risk | Handling |
+|---|---|---|
+| **`r` is a builtin** (`disable r` at line 72) | Guard might mis-handle builtins | Guard checks **external binaries only** (`command -v` of a *file*, not a builtin). `r` has no `/path` binary → not skipped. ✅ Already noted in spec. |
+| **Symlink `zsh/functions/obs.zsh`** → obsidian-cli-ops source | Dangling/legacy after delete | Loader never sources `zsh/functions/`. Still: **delete the symlink** as part of A so it doesn't mislead. |
+| **`obs.1` man page** | Drift vs. man-page-sync guard | Man-page spec lists `obs` as a flow dispatcher. Remove `obs.1` + the inventory row, or the sync guard fails CI. Coordinate the two specs in one PR. |
+| **Test env has no `obs` binary** | `type obs` assertion flips | Test must **mock an `obs` on PATH** (stub in a temp dir prepended to `$PATH`) before asserting the guard skips it. Otherwise the guard correctly sources nothing-to-skip and the assert is vacuous. |
+| **User already has `unfunction obs` in zshrc** | Now redundant/confusing | Acceptance criterion already says no workaround needed; note in release notes so the user can remove it. |
+| **`FLOW_DEBUG` log on skip** | Noise | Gate behind `$FLOW_DEBUG` (spec already does). |
+| **Forced re-enable** (`FLOW_FORCE_DISPATCHER_OBS=1`) but obs deleted | Dead env var | Harmless; document only if obs is kept. With A, the var simply has no file to act on. |
+
+---
+
+## Quick Wins (< 30 min each)
+
+1. ⚡ **Delete `lib/dispatchers/obs.zsh`** — dead code that can't run (wants a `python/obs_cli.py` flow-cli never ships).
+2. ⚡ **Delete the `zsh/functions/obs.zsh` symlink** — unsourced, points into a sibling repo, pure confusion.
+3. ⚡ **Drop `obs` from the loader comment** at `flow.plugin.zsh:24` (`# Load v, g, mcp, obs dispatchers`).
+
+## Medium Effort (1–2 hours)
+
+4. □ **Implement guard B1** — suffix-strip + external-binary check + `FLOW_FORCE_DISPATCHER_<NAME>` escape hatch, with `$FLOW_DEBUG` skip log.
+5. □ **Convention guard test** — assert every `lib/dispatchers/*.zsh` is named `<cmd>-dispatcher.zsh` (keeps B1 honest).
+6. □ **Shadow regression test** — stub an `obs` binary on `$PATH`, source the plugin, assert `type obs` is a *file*, not a function; assert the guard sources `g`/`mcp`/`r` normally.
+7. □ **Man-page + inventory sync** — remove `obs.1` and the `obs` row; satisfy `test-manpage-version-sync.zsh` in the same PR.
+
+## Long-term (future)
+
+8. □ Consider a tiny **dispatcher manifest** (B2) only if multi-command dispatchers or non-conventional names ever appear. Not needed today.
+
+---
+
+## Recommended Path
+
+→ **Single feature worktree, one PR, in this order:** (A) delete obs dispatcher + symlink + man page/inventory → (B1) add the suffix-stripping guard → tests (convention + shadow regression) → coordinate the man-page-sync spec so CI stays green.
+
+The decisive correction vs. the current spec: **replace the Option B sketch with B1 (suffix-strip)** so the guard keys on the true command name. Without that, the "general guard" protects exactly one command (`obs`) and reopens the hazard for the next collision.
+
+---
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. Keep the `FLOW_FORCE_DISPATCHER_<NAME>` escape hatch even though obs is deleted? (Recommend **yes** — it's the only override for the *general* guard.)
+2. Should the convention test be a hard CI gate or advisory? (Recommend **hard** — it's the invariant B1 depends on.)
+3. Any other installed binaries that collide with a *future* planned dispatcher name? (Audit `command -v` for the dispatcher roadmap before shipping.)

+# SPEC: Stop the `obs` Dispatcher from Shadowing the Real `obs` Binary
+
+**Status:** ✅ Merged — PR #460 squash-merged to `dev` (fc00837f, 2026-06-05). Shipped Phase 1 (delete obs dispatcher) + Phase 2 (B3 binary-precedence guard).
+**Created:** 2026-06-04
+**Type:** dispatcher / shell-integration fix
+**Trigger:** On 2026-06-04, interactive `obs` failed with `[ERROR] Python CLI not found at: …/flow-cli/.../zsh/functions/python/obs_cli.py`. flow-cli loads an `obs` **dispatcher** that duplicates the obsidian-cli-ops wrapper but (a) looks for a `python/obs_cli.py` flow-cli never bundles and (b) uses `OBS_PYTHON=$(command -v python3)` → a dep-less `python@3.14`. It **shadows** the working Homebrew `obs` binary (`/opt/homebrew/bin/obs`).
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+obsidian-cli-ops installs a complete, canonical `obs` on `PATH` (Homebrew binary → `libexec/python/obs_cli.py` under a known interpreter). flow-cli **also** defines `obs` via `lib/dispatchers/obs.zsh` (mirrored in `zsh/functions/obs.zsh`), sourced unconditionally by the dispatcher loop in `flow.plugin.zsh`:
+
+```zsh
+if [[ "$FLOW_LOAD_DISPATCHERS" == "yes" ]]; then
+  for disp_file in "$FLOW_PLUGIN_DIR/lib/dispatchers/"*.zsh(N); do
+    source "$disp_file"
+  done
+fi
+```
+
+Because a shell **function** beats a binary in lookup, the broken flow-cli `obs` wins in every interactive shell. The dispatcher cannot work as written — it needs a Python CLI flow-cli doesn't ship — so it provides nothing the Homebrew binary doesn't, while actively breaking it.
+
+This is a **general hazard**: any dispatcher whose name collides with an installed external binary will shadow it.
+
+---
+
+## Primary User Story
+
+**As a** flow-cli user who also installs obsidian-cli-ops,
+**I want** typing `obs` to run the real, working `obs` binary,
+**so that** flow-cli doesn't break a tool it doesn't own.
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] In an interactive shell with obsidian-cli-ops installed, `obs` resolves to the **binary** (`type obs` → `/opt/homebrew/bin/obs`), not a flow-cli function.
+- [ ] flow-cli no longer defines a broken `obs` that errors `Python CLI not found`.
+- [ ] Other dispatchers (`v`, `g`, `mcp`, `r`, `qu`, …) are unaffected.
+- [ ] No `unfunction obs` workaround required in the user's `~/.config/zsh/.zshrc`.
+- [ ] flow-cli's `man/man1/obs.1` is **removed** and `obs` dropped from the flow dispatcher inventory (coordinate with `SPEC-manpage-refresh-2026-06-04.md`, which currently lists `obs` among flow dispatchers and ships `obs.1`).
+- [ ] A replacement `obs.1` is **authored in obsidian-cli-ops** (the owner of the binary), covering its v3.2.1 surface — see "Man-Page Ownership" below.
+
+---
+
+## Approaches
+
+| Option | How | Trade-off |
+|--------|-----|-----------|
+| **A. Drop the obs dispatcher** | Delete `lib/dispatchers/obs.zsh` + `zsh/functions/obs.zsh`; remove `obs` from the "Load v, g, mcp, obs" comment/inventory; drop `obs.1`. | Simplest; obsidian-cli-ops is canonical. Loses any flow-specific obs sugar (there is none working today). |
+| **B. Binary-precedence guard (recommended, general)** | In the dispatcher loop, skip sourcing a dispatcher when its command name already resolves to an external binary on `PATH`, unless `FLOW_FORCE_DISPATCHER_<name>=1`. | Fixes `obs` **and** prevents any future dispatcher↔binary collision. Slightly more loader logic. |
+| **C. Thin delegator** | Replace the obs dispatcher body with `command obs "$@"` (or exec the Homebrew binary). | Keeps an `obs` function but it just forwards. Pointless indirection vs. A/B. |
+
+**Recommendation:** **B** (a general binary-precedence guard in the loader) and **A** (remove the now-redundant obs dispatcher). B protects the ecosystem long-term; A removes dead, harmful code.
+
+### ⚠️ Filename ≠ command name (corrects the naive sketch)
+
+A guard keyed on the **filename** is only correct for `obs`, by accident. The dispatcher files are named `X-dispatcher.zsh` but each defines command `X`:
+
+| File on disk | `${${disp_file:t}:r}` | Command actually defined | `command -v` of derived name |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `obs.zsh` | `obs` | `obs()` | `/opt/homebrew/bin/obs` ✅ |
+| `g-dispatcher.zsh` | `g-dispatcher` | `g()` | (nothing) ❌ |
+| `mcp-dispatcher.zsh` | `mcp-dispatcher` | `mcp()` | (nothing) ❌ |
+| `r-dispatcher.zsh` | `r-dispatcher` | `r()` | (nothing) ❌ |
+
+`obs.zsh` is the **only** bare-named dispatcher file, so a filename-keyed guard tests `obs` and nothing else. Add `node-dispatcher.zsh` (defining `node()`) later and the guard checks `command -v node-dispatcher` → nothing → sources it → **re-shadows the real `node` binary.** That is the exact "general hazard" this spec exists to kill, left open. So the naive guard ≈ Option A with extra steps.
+
+**Fix:** derive the true command name by **stripping the `-dispatcher` suffix**. After Option A deletes the lone exception (`obs.zsh`), **every** remaining file follows `<cmd>-dispatcher.zsh`, so suffix-stripping recovers the real command name for all of them — making the guard genuinely general with a one-line change. Guard this invariant with a convention test (see Implementation Notes).
+
+### Sketch (Option B — corrected, suffix-strip)
+
+```zsh
+for disp_file in "$FLOW_PLUGIN_DIR/lib/dispatchers/"*.zsh(N); do
+  local name="${${disp_file:t}:r}"            # g-dispatcher
+  name="${name%-dispatcher}"                  # → g   (obs.zsh is deleted by Option A)
+  local force="FLOW_FORCE_DISPATCHER_${name:u}"
+  if [[ -z "${(P)force}" ]] && command -v "$name" >/dev/null 2>&1 \
+       && [[ "$(command -v "$name")" != *"flow"* ]]; then
+    [[ -n "$FLOW_DEBUG" ]] && _flow_log_info "Skipping dispatcher '$name' (external binary present)"
+    continue
+  fi
+  source "$disp_file"
+done
+```
+
+> The `disable r` at `flow.plugin.zsh:72` is unaffected — `r` is a zsh **builtin**, not an external binary, so `command -v r` (after `disable`) does not resolve to a `/path` file and the guard never skips it.
+
+---
+
+## Man-Page Ownership (handoff to obsidian-cli-ops)
+
+flow-cli is *dropping* `obs.1` because it doesn't own the command. The man page should not vanish — it should move to **obsidian-cli-ops**, which owns `/opt/homebrew/bin/obs` and currently ships **zero** man pages. This is a cross-repo handoff: flow-cli removes, obsidian-cli-ops adds. Track the "add" half in obsidian-cli-ops (its own branch workflow); this spec only records the contract so the man page isn't lost.
+
+### Command surface to document (obsidian-cli-ops v3.2.1)
+
+Authored from the **dispatch table in `src/obs.zsh`**, not from `obs help` — see the undocumented-command note below.
+
+| Group | Commands |
+|---|---|
+| Primary | `obs` (list vaults / last-vault stats), `obs stats [vault]`, `obs discover <path>` |
+| Graph analysis | `obs analyze <vault>`, `obs health <vault>` |
+| AI | `obs ai status`, `obs ai setup`, `obs ai test`, `obs ai similar <note>`, `obs ai analyze <note>`, `obs ai duplicates <vault>`, `obs ai suggest-links <note>`, `obs ai gaps <vault>`, `obs ai summarize <vault>`, `obs ai refactor <vault>` |
+| AI — **undocumented in `obs help --all`** | `obs ai merge-suggest`, `obs ai tag-suggest`, `obs ai quality` |
+| Utilities | `obs help [--all]`, `obs version` |
+
+### ⚠️ Finding: three AI subcommands ship without help
+
+`obs ai merge-suggest`, `obs ai tag-suggest`, and `obs ai quality` are handled in the `obs.zsh` `case` block (≈ lines 464–513) but are **absent from `obs_help()`** (lines 163–174). A man page built from `obs help` would inherit this gap. The obsidian-cli-ops man-page task should: (a) cover all dispatch-table commands, and (b) backfill these three into `obs help --all` so help and man page agree. *(Out of scope for flow-cli — flagged here for the receiving repo.)*
+
+### Suggested shape (in obsidian-cli-ops)
+
+- `obs.1` — top-level, with `ai` as a documented subcommand surface, **or**
+- `obs.1` + `obs-ai.1` (SEE ALSO cross-links) if the AI surface warrants its own page (10–13 subcommands suggests it might).
+- Mirror flow-cli's troff conventions (model `flow-cli/man/man1/g.1`); add an anti-drift `.TH`-version guard like flow-cli's `test-manpage-version-sync.zsh` so the page tracks the package version.
+
+## Out of Scope / Related
+
+- The **root cause** that `obs` itself broke (missing Python deps in its interpreter) is an obsidian-cli-ops packaging issue: `obsidian-cli-ops/docs/specs/SPEC-dependency-bootstrapping-2026-06-04.md`. It was patched manually on 2026-06-04 (deps installed into `python@3.12`).
+- The dashboard `ops`/`obs-project-sync` tool referenced by `MediationVerse_Dashboard.md` is a **different, archived** tool — not this dispatcher and not in scope.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+- **Guard keys on the suffix-stripped command name**, not the raw filename — see "Filename ≠ command name" above. The naive filename-keyed sketch only protects `obs`.
+- **Convention test (required for B1 to stay valid):** assert every `lib/dispatchers/*.zsh` is named `<cmd>-dispatcher.zsh`. This is the invariant suffix-stripping depends on; make it a hard CI gate so a future bare-named dispatcher can't silently reopen the shadowing hazard.
+- Verify `r`'s existing `disable r` handling still works under the new guard (it's a builtin, not a binary — guard only checks external binaries).
+- **Shadow regression test:** stub an `obs` executable into a temp dir prepended to `$PATH`, source the plugin, then assert `type obs` is a **file** (not a function) and that `g`/`mcp`/`r` still load normally. Without the stub the assertion is vacuous — the guard has nothing to skip in a bare CI environment that lacks the Homebrew `obs`.
+- **Delete the `zsh/functions/obs.zsh` symlink too** (it points into the obsidian-cli-ops source and is *not* sourced by the loader, which globs only `lib/dispatchers/*.zsh`) — leaving it is pure confusion.
+- Man-page + inventory cleanup ships in the **same PR** as the deletion: remove `obs.1`, drop `obs` from the loader comment (`flow.plugin.zsh:24`) and any dispatcher inventory/help, or `test-manpage-version-sync.zsh` fails CI (coordinate with `SPEC-manpage-refresh-2026-06-04.md`).
+
+## History
+
+- **2026-06-04** — Created after flow-cli's `obs` dispatcher shadowed and broke the Homebrew `obs` binary; stopgap was `unfunction obs` in user zshrc (blocked/avoided). This spec proposes removing the redundant dispatcher + a general binary-precedence guard.
+- **2026-06-04** — Brainstorm pass (`BRAINSTORM-obs-dispatcher-shadowing-2026-06-04.md`) found the Option B sketch keyed the guard on the **filename**, which equals the command name only for `obs.zsh` (every other file is `X-dispatcher.zsh` defining `X`). Replaced with the **suffix-strip (B1)** variant so the guard is genuinely general post-Option-A; added the convention test, stub-binary regression test, and symlink-deletion notes.
+- **2026-06-04** — Added Man-Page Ownership handoff: flow-cli removes `obs.1`, obsidian-cli-ops authors a replacement. Audited obsidian-cli-ops **v3.2.1** command surface and found `obs ai merge-suggest`, `obs ai tag-suggest`, `obs ai quality` ship in the dispatch table but are missing from `obs help --all`.

-# Tutorial: Obsidian Vault Management with obs
-
-Discover, analyze, and search your Obsidian vaults with AI-powered graph analysis — all from the command line.
-
-**Time:** 15 minutes | **Level:** Intermediate | **Requires:** flow-cli, python3, jq
-
-## What You'll Learn
-
-1. Listing and discovering Obsidian vaults
-2. Viewing vault statistics and graph metrics
-3. Configuring AI providers for vault analysis
-4. Using AI-powered search for similar and duplicate notes
-5. Analyzing individual notes with AI
-
----
-
-## Step 1: List Your Vaults
-
-See all registered Obsidian vaults:
-
-```zsh
-obs
-```
-
-Or explicitly:
-
-```zsh
-obs vaults
-```
-
-Each vault shows its path and note count. Vault data is stored in `~/.config/obs/obsidian_vaults.db`.
-
----
-
-## Step 2: Discover Vaults
-
-Scan a directory to find all Obsidian vaults (identified by `.obsidian/` folders):
-
-```zsh
-obs discover ~/Documents
-```
-
-For iCloud-synced vaults:
-
-```zsh
-obs discover ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents
-```
-
-Discovered vaults are automatically registered and appear in `obs vaults`.
-
----
-
-## Step 3: Vault Statistics
-
-Get detailed stats about any vault:
-
-```zsh
-obs stats my-vault
-```
-
-Shows: note count, link count, tag count, orphan notes, and average links per note.
-
----
-
-## Step 4: Graph Analysis
-
-Analyze vault structure and connectivity:
-
-```zsh
-obs analyze my-vault
-```
-
-Shows: network connectivity score, identified clusters, hub notes (most connected), density metrics, and linking recommendations.
-
----
-
-## Step 5: AI Setup
-
-Configure AI providers for advanced vault analysis:
-
-```zsh
-obs ai setup     # Interactive setup wizard
-obs ai status    # Show current AI configuration
-obs ai test      # Verify all providers work
-```
-
----
-
-## Step 6: AI-Powered Search
-
-Find notes by meaning, not just keywords:
-
-```zsh
-obs ai similar "My Note Title"   # Find semantically similar notes
-obs ai duplicates                # Find potential duplicate content
-obs ai analyze "Note Title"      # AI analysis of a specific note
-```
-
-`obs ai analyze` returns key concepts, related topics, suggested links, and knowledge graph gaps.
-
----
-
-## Step 7: Verbose Mode
-
-Add `--verbose` to any command for detailed output:
-
-```zsh
-obs --verbose stats my-vault
-```
-
-Shows API calls, file scanning details, and performance timings.
-
----
-
-## FAQ
-
-### Where is vault data stored?
-
-Vault registry is at `~/.config/obs/obsidian_vaults.db`. The last-used vault is tracked in `~/.config/obs/last_vault`.
-
-### Does obs work with iCloud-synced vaults?
-
-Yes. Use `obs discover` with the iCloud Obsidian path. They work like any other vault.
-
-### What AI providers are supported?
-
-OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), local models via Ollama, and OpenAI-compatible APIs. Run `obs ai setup` to see options.
-
-### Does analyzing a vault change my files?
-
-No. All analysis is read-only. No notes are modified.

+# Regression guard for the B3 binary-precedence guard in flow.plugin.zsh.
+#
+# Invariant: when a dispatcher defines a command function whose name also
+# exists as an external binary on $PATH, the loader DROPS the function so the
+# binary wins — UNLESS the command is an intentional shadow (listed in
+# FLOW_INTENTIONAL_SHADOWS, e.g. cc/r/mcp) or force-kept via
+# FLOW_FORCE_DISPATCHER_<NAME>=1. `_`-prefixed helpers are never touched.
+#
+# This is the general fix behind the `obs` shadowing bug: flow-cli's broken
+# obs() dispatcher used to mask the real Homebrew obs binary. obs is now
+# deleted (Phase 1); this guard stops any FUTURE dispatcher from re-shadowing
+# a working binary by accident.

-# Alias for quick access
-# REPLACED 2025-12-19: alias dash='dashupdate' → Now a function in dash.zsh
-# REMOVED 2025-12-19: alias dashopen='dashupdate && open -a "Claude"'
-# REMOVED: alias do='dashopen'
-# Reason: 'do' is a ZSH reserved word (for loops: for x do ... done)
-# Aliasing it breaks parsing of any subsequent 'for' loops, causing:
-# "parse error near `unset'" in Positron's shell integration script
-# Use 'dashopen' or 'dash' directly instead
