+## v1.36.0 Features
+
+### 108. Plan Bounce
+
+**Command:** `/gsd-plan-phase N --bounce`
+
+**Purpose:** After plans pass the checker, optionally refine them through an external script (a second AI, a linter, a custom validator). The bounce step backs up each plan, runs the script, validates YAML frontmatter integrity on the result, re-runs the plan checker, and restores the original if anything fails.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-BOUNCE-01: `--bounce` flag or `workflow.plan_bounce: true` activates the step; `--skip-bounce` always disables it
+- REQ-BOUNCE-02: `workflow.plan_bounce_script` must point to a valid executable; missing script produces a warning and skips
+- REQ-BOUNCE-03: Each plan is backed up to `*-PLAN.pre-bounce.md` before the script runs
+- REQ-BOUNCE-04: Bounced plans with broken YAML frontmatter or that fail the plan checker are restored from backup
+- REQ-BOUNCE-05: `workflow.plan_bounce_passes` (default: 2) controls how many refinement passes the script receives
+
+**Configuration:** `workflow.plan_bounce`, `workflow.plan_bounce_script`, `workflow.plan_bounce_passes`
+
+---
+
+### 109. External Code Review Command
+
+**Command:** `/gsd-ship` (enhanced)
+
+**Purpose:** Before the manual review step in `/gsd-ship`, automatically run an external code review command if configured. The command receives the diff and phase context via stdin and returns a JSON verdict (`APPROVED` or `REVISE`). Falls through to the existing manual review flow regardless of outcome.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-EXTREVIEW-01: `workflow.code_review_command` must be set to a command string; null means skip
+- REQ-EXTREVIEW-02: Diff is generated against `BASE_BRANCH` with `--stat` summary included
+- REQ-EXTREVIEW-03: Review prompt is piped via stdin (never shell-interpolated)
+- REQ-EXTREVIEW-04: 120-second timeout; stderr captured on failure
+- REQ-EXTREVIEW-05: JSON output parsed for `verdict`, `confidence`, `summary`, `issues` fields
+
+**Configuration:** `workflow.code_review_command`
+
+---
+
+### 110. Cross-AI Execution Delegation
+
+**Command:** `/gsd-execute-phase N --cross-ai`
+
+**Purpose:** Delegate individual plans to an external AI runtime for execution. Plans with `cross_ai: true` in their frontmatter (or all plans when `--cross-ai` is used) are sent to the configured command via stdin. Successfully handled plans are removed from the normal executor queue.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-CROSSAI-01: `--cross-ai` forces all plans through cross-AI; `--no-cross-ai` disables it
+- REQ-CROSSAI-02: `workflow.cross_ai_execution: true` and plan frontmatter `cross_ai: true` required for per-plan activation
+- REQ-CROSSAI-03: Task prompt is piped via stdin to prevent injection
+- REQ-CROSSAI-04: Dirty working tree produces a warning before execution
+- REQ-CROSSAI-05: On failure, user chooses: retry, skip (fall back to normal executor), or abort
+
+**Configuration:** `workflow.cross_ai_execution`, `workflow.cross_ai_command`, `workflow.cross_ai_timeout`
+
+---
+
+### 111. Architectural Responsibility Mapping
+
+**Command:** `/gsd-plan-phase` (enhanced research step)
+
+**Purpose:** During phase research, the phase-researcher now maps each capability to its architectural tier owner (browser, frontend server, API, CDN/static, database). The planner cross-references tasks against this map, and the plan-checker enforces tier compliance as Dimension 7c.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-ARM-01: Phase researcher produces an Architectural Responsibility Map table in RESEARCH.md (Step 1.5)
+- REQ-ARM-02: Planner sanity-checks task-to-tier assignments against the map
+- REQ-ARM-03: Plan checker validates tier compliance as Dimension 7c (WARNING for general mismatches, BLOCKER for security-sensitive ones)
+
+**Produces:** `## Architectural Responsibility Map` section in `{phase}-RESEARCH.md`
+
+---
+
+### 112. Extract Learnings
+
+**Command:** `/gsd-extract-learnings N`
+
+**Purpose:** Extract structured knowledge from completed phase artifacts. Reads PLAN.md and SUMMARY.md (required) plus VERIFICATION.md, UAT.md, and STATE.md (optional) to produce four categories of learnings: decisions, lessons, patterns, and surprises. Optionally captures each item to an external knowledge base via `capture_thought` tool.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-LEARN-01: Requires PLAN.md and SUMMARY.md; exits with clear error if missing
+- REQ-LEARN-02: Each extracted item includes source attribution (artifact and section)
+- REQ-LEARN-03: If `capture_thought` tool is available, captures items with `source`, `project`, and `phase` metadata
+- REQ-LEARN-04: If `capture_thought` is unavailable, completes successfully and logs that external capture was skipped
+- REQ-LEARN-05: Running twice overwrites the previous `LEARNINGS.md`
+
+**Produces:** `{phase}-LEARNINGS.md` with YAML frontmatter (phase, project, counts per category, missing_artifacts)
+
+---
+
+### 113. SDK Workstream Support
+
+**Command:** `gsd-sdk init @prd.md --ws my-workstream`
+
+**Purpose:** Route all SDK `.planning/` paths to `.planning/workstreams/<name>/`, enabling multi-workstream projects without "Project already exists" errors. The `--ws` flag validates the workstream name and propagates to all subsystems (tools, config, context engine).
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-WS-01: `--ws <name>` routes all `.planning/` paths to `.planning/workstreams/<name>/`
+- REQ-WS-02: Without `--ws`, behavior is unchanged (flat mode)
+- REQ-WS-03: Name validated to alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores, and dots only
+- REQ-WS-04: Config resolves from workstream path first, falls back to root `.planning/config.json`
+
+---
+
+### 114. Context-Window-Aware Prompt Thinning
+
+**Purpose:** Reduce static prompt overhead by ~40% for models with context windows under 200K tokens. Extended examples and anti-pattern lists are extracted from agent definitions into reference files loaded on demand via `@` required_reading.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-THIN-01: When `CONTEXT_WINDOW < 200000`, executor and planner agent prompts omit inline examples
+- REQ-THIN-02: Extracted content lives in `references/executor-examples.md` and `references/planner-antipatterns.md`
+- REQ-THIN-03: Standard (200K-500K) and enriched (500K+) tiers are unaffected
+- REQ-THIN-04: Core rules and decision logic remain inline; only verbose examples are extracted
+
+**Reference files:** `executor-examples.md`, `planner-antipatterns.md`
+
+---
+
+### 115. Configurable CLAUDE.md Path
+
+**Purpose:** Allow projects to store their CLAUDE.md in a non-root location. The `claude_md_path` config key controls where `/gsd-profile-user` and related commands write the generated CLAUDE.md file.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-CMDPATH-01: `claude_md_path` defaults to `./CLAUDE.md`
+- REQ-CMDPATH-02: Profile generation commands read the path from config and write to the specified location
+- REQ-CMDPATH-03: Relative paths are resolved from the project root
+
+**Configuration:** `claude_md_path`
