I spent some time with the Focus Bracketing tool this past weekend, part of the new feature set for Phocus v3.6.
Short overview is below in the link:

Thanks Steve,
The auto Focus Stacking for H4-H6 cameras is a plus for H series users.

Yes, Bob, I was gonna say, if I didn't mention it, that H owners from H4D up just got a nice free feature upgrade!

Steve,
Did you notice the focus stacking also works with the HTS? It does!
-
Given the HTS is manual focus on X and H series, are you saying the software feature can still command lens movement via the pass-thru contacts to get the required steps (or until hard near or far stop)? Talk about best of both worlds.

I didn't test with the HTS, but that is certainly interesting!

Yes, the software can command lens movements. I certainly hope this will remain the case. The last time a fluke in the firmware also permitted autofocus with the HTS combined with CF and H2F, unfortunately this was 'fixed' by Hasselblad after I mentioned it :(

This may be the case with H cameras, but I am having no luck getting focus bracketing to work with X1D-II + HTS + H Lens Adapter - either tethered or to card.
Nope, scratch that - yes, when shooting tethered, an X1D-II + HTS + XH Lens Adapter + HC Lens does perform focus bracketing. Shooting only to SD card, it does not seem to - the focus bracket option is greyed out.

Dustbak/Steve,
Interesting. Thanks.
