fix(governance): add architectural enforcement for "ff" and "ffs" trigger words

Problem: Claude failed to recognize "ffs" code word despite inst_082 being active.
Root cause: No architectural enforcement to check for trigger words on every user message.

Solution:
- Created .claude/hooks/trigger-word-checker.js that runs on UserPromptSubmit
- Detects "ffs" → instructs to run framework-stats.js (inst_082)
- Detects "ff " prefix → instructs to run framework-audit-response.js (inst_078)
- Registered hook in .claude/settings.json

Testing:
 "ffs" detection works correctly
 "ff " prefix detection works correctly
 Normal messages pass through silently

Philosophy: Governance enforced architecturally, not by voluntary compliance.

# Trigger Word Enforcement Architecture
## Problem
Claude failed to recognize "ffs" code word despite inst_082 being active. This was a **trigger recognition failure**, not a missing instruction issue.
## Root Cause
- inst_082 (ffs trigger) exists and is marked active: true
- inst_078 (ff trigger) exists and is marked active: true
- Both are HIGH persistence, SYSTEM quadrant
- scripts/framework-stats.js and scripts/framework-audit-response.js both exist
- **BUT**: No architectural enforcement to ensure Claude checks for trigger words on EVERY user message
## Solution
Created `.claude/hooks/trigger-word-checker.js` that runs on every user prompt submission:
```javascript
// Detects:
// - "ffs" (exact match or word boundary) → framework-stats.js
// - "ff " (prefix) → framework-audit-response.js
```
Registered in `.claude/settings.json`:
```json
"UserPromptSubmit": [
{
"hooks": [
{
"type": "command",
"command": "\"$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR\"/.claude/hooks/trigger-word-checker.js",
"timeout": 2
}
]
}
]
```
## How It Works
1. **User types "ffs"**
2. Hook runs BEFORE Claude processes the message
3. Hook outputs: `⚠️ CODE WORD DETECTED: "ffs"`
4. Hook provides instruction: `Claude MUST run: node scripts/framework-stats.js`
5. Claude sees the hook output and executes the command
## Testing
```bash
# Test ffs trigger
node .claude/hooks/trigger-word-checker.js '{"text":"ffs"}'
# Output: ⚠️ CODE WORD DETECTED: "ffs"
# Claude MUST run: node scripts/framework-stats.js
# Test ff trigger
node .claude/hooks/trigger-word-checker.js '{"text":"ff what are the boundary rules?"}'
# Output: ⚠️ CODE WORD DETECTED: "ff"
# Claude MUST run: node scripts/framework-audit-response.js --prompt "..." --type "boundary_question"
# Test normal message (no output)
node .claude/hooks/trigger-word-checker.js '{"text":"please fix the bug"}'
# (silent - no trigger detected)
```
## Philosophy
**Governance is enforced architecturally, not documented.**
Relying on voluntary compliance (Claude remembering to check for triggers) = framework fade.
Architectural enforcement (hook that runs on EVERY message) = reliable governance.
## Files Modified
- `.claude/hooks/trigger-word-checker.js` - New hook script
- `.claude/settings.json` - Registered UserPromptSubmit hook
## References
- inst_082: ffs trigger definition
- inst_078: ff trigger definition
- CLAUDE.md lines 48-64: ff documentation
- CLAUDE.md lines 66-88: ffs documentation
## Future Enhancements
If Claude Code doesn't support UserPromptSubmit hooks natively:
1. Add to session-init.js output as prominent reminder
2. Create a PreToolUse hook that checks user's last message
3. Add to system prompt injection if hook system insufficient
