The sections `Progress`, `Surprises & Discoveries`, `Decision Log`, and `Outcomes & Retrospective` must be kept up to date as work proceeds. It is maintained in accordance with `skills/execspec/references/PLANS.md` from the repository root. + +## Purpose / Big Picture + +The autonomous PR-review loop currently asks one native Codex invocation to judge both code correctness and whether the implementer followed the ticket's decision discipline. Live use showed that adding ticket-specific spec-compliance policy through Codex `developer_instructions` can distract or weaken the native review behavior that is otherwise strong at finding correctness defects. After this change, the native `codex exec review --base` process will return to one job only: independently review the PR for code defects. At the same time, the outer Review Worker will use the linked issue body as the primary specification and directly audit whether the Implement Worker obeyed the `implementing-tickets` gate, escalated human-grade decisions, and implemented the settled requirements. + +A user can see the change in a rendered review-worker prompt and in the hermetic tests. The prompt starts the native Codex review in the background, performs and records an independent implementer-protocol audit while Codex runs, then joins the two finding streams before verification and routing. The native engine command contains no criteria file and no `developer_instructions`. Existing finding bins, bounded re-review, merge authority, engine-outage recovery, and GitHub escalation remain in force. + +## Progress + +- [x] (2026-07-14 10:57Z) Human-approved grill completed: issue body is the canonical primary specification; only documents explicitly referenced by it are secondary specification evidence; the outer worker owns spec and decision-discipline review. +- [x] (2026-07-14 10:57Z) Human-approved protocol-blocker rule recorded: silently assuming an unresolved human-grade fork or implementing from a substantively unready ticket prevents confidence and routes `needs-human`; a clear settled requirement implemented incorrectly is fixed in scope; missing process evidence alone is a non-blocking review-trail note when the ticket was sufficient and no unauthorized decision exists. +- [x] (2026-07-14 10:57Z) Autonomous track selected; current branch and existing draft PR #14 retained as the isolated delivery surface. +- [x] (2026-07-14 11:05Z) Current protocol, engine, dispatcher, tests, implement-worker gate, and prior living specs inspected; this ExecPlan authored. +- [ ] Milestone 1: add focused tests and observe them fail for the old criteria-coupled, sequential behavior. +- [ ] Milestone 2: make `review-engine.sh` a pure native correctness engine and update its invocation contract. +- [ ] Milestone 3: make the Review Worker run an independent protocol-compliance audit concurrently, join both streams, and apply the approved blocker semantics. +- [ ] Milestone 4: update operator guidance and the two existing living specs to record the new responsibility split and superseded assumptions. +- [ ] Milestone 5: run focused and broad verification, inspect the final contract directly, and perform one bounded independent Codex review without invoking recursive reviewer subagents. +- [ ] Milestone 6: complete this retrospective, commit the implementation, push the feature branch, and update draft PR #14 without merging or changing `main`. + +## Surprises & Discoveries + +- Observation: the existing split is encoded at three layers, not one. `review-engine.sh` requires `--criteria` and emits fixed developer instructions; `engine-codex-review.md` tells the worker to construct that criteria file; tests assert the criteria carrier. Removing only the policy string would leave a misleading interface and invite the responsibility to drift back. + Evidence: `skills/reviewing-prs/scripts/review-engine.sh` lines 17–20 and 77–96; `skills/reviewing-prs/references/engine-blocks/engine-codex-review.md` lines 11–33; `tests/reviewing-prs/test-review-engine.sh` lines 60–95. +- Observation: the existing worker deliberately avoids reading the full diff because the prior architecture promised that the PR diff never entered the worker's main context. A worker-owned spec audit cannot verify silently chosen behavior from ticket text alone, so this promise must be narrowed deliberately: Codex remains the sole correctness reviewer, while the worker reads the implementation only through the spec/decision-discipline lens. + Evidence: `skills/reviewing-prs/SKILL.md` lines 25–28 and the prior recovery design's Purpose and Acceptance sections. +- Observation: the Implement Worker already leaves a protocol-specific gate signal, `[gate] pass`, after moving the ticket to `in-progress`. Its absence is useful audit evidence but, by the approved rule, is not automatically a blocker if the issue was substantively ready and the diff contains no unauthorized product decision. + Evidence: `skills/implementing-tickets/references/implement-worker-protocol.md` lines 45–49. + +## Decision Log + +- Decision: separate review into a native correctness track and a worker-owned implementer-protocol track, running concurrently and joining before routing. + Rationale: this restores Codex's robust native review behavior while using the outer worker's ticket and process context for the judgment Codex cannot reliably make without intrusive instructions. Rejected: keep both jobs inside Codex and tune `developer_instructions` (the observed failure is responsibility coupling, not merely wording); run the worker audit only after Codex returns (keeps the worker idle and anchors its judgment on Codex's findings). + Date/Author: 2026-07-14 / human-approved grill. +- Decision: remove the criteria concept from the native engine interface entirely. The final command is `review-engine.sh --base --out ` and does not pass even an empty `developer_instructions` config value. + Rationale: a pure correctness engine should expose no ticket/spec input. Keeping a dormant `--criteria` parameter would make the interface lie and make future recoupling easy. Omitting the config key entirely most closely restores unmodified native review behavior. Rejected: retain `--criteria` but ignore it; pass empty `developer_instructions` on every call. + Date/Author: 2026-07-14 / implementer decision following the approved responsibility split. +- Decision: issue body is the canonical primary specification. Only documents explicitly referenced from that body are secondary specification evidence. PR text or code cannot expand the specification by introducing new references. + Rationale: `ready-for-agent` means the issue itself has reached a pre-spec/implementation-brief bar. Allowing the implementer or PR to nominate post-hoc requirements would make compliance unfalsifiable. Issue comments and timeline are process evidence, not equivalent specification authority unless they record a human answer that the ticket workflow treats as ticket content. + Date/Author: 2026-07-14 / human-approved grill. +- Decision: classify worker-owned audit output into three forms. A `PROTOCOL BLOCKER` is an unresolved human-grade fork silently assumed by the implementer or work begun from a substantively unready ticket; it prevents confidence and routes `needs-human`. A `SPEC FINDING` is a clear settled requirement implemented incorrectly; it enters normal verification and is `FIX NOW` when in scope or `TOO BIG` when correction materially expands scope. An `AUDIT NOTE` records missing or weak process evidence when the ticket was substantively ready and no unauthorized product decision is present; it appears in the review trail but is not a finding or merge blocker. + Rationale: Codex native severity cannot classify findings that Codex did not produce. This explicit worker-owned classification preserves the existing native severity rule for native findings while giving protocol violations deterministic consequences. + Date/Author: 2026-07-14 / human-approved grill. +- Decision: the worker completes and records its audit before reading the native findings file. + Rationale: background execution alone saves time but does not ensure independent judgment. Writing the worker audit first prevents Codex findings from defining which product decisions the worker notices. Rejected: interleave native findings with the audit; spawn another spec-review subagent (unnecessary, and reviewer delegation previously produced 43+ recursive subagents). + Date/Author: 2026-07-14 / implementer decision. +- Decision: use the review worker's harness-native background command facility for the engine call and preserve the findings-file/task handle until the join point; the engine script itself stays synchronous. + Rationale: the same engine script is also used on re-review and is easier to test when it has one blocking job. Concurrency belongs to the caller that has useful audit work to perform. Rejected: add daemon or job-control state to `review-engine.sh`; create a second durable review daemon. + Date/Author: 2026-07-14 / implementer decision. +- Decision: do not invoke the native `code-review` skill or a reviewer subagent during implementation or the exit gate. + Rationale: this repository observed runaway recursive dispatch of more than 43 reviewer subagents. Direct tests, diff inspection, and at most one direct `codex exec review --base origin/main` process provide independent coverage without that recursion surface. + Date/Author: 2026-07-14 / explicit operational constraint. + +## Outcomes & Retrospective + +Pending — written at finish. + +## Context and Orientation + +This repository is a multi-harness agent plugin. `skills/reviewing-prs/SKILL.md` is the runtime protocol followed by a fresh Review Worker assigned to an opened pull request. The Review Worker is an outer agent session, launched as either Claude or Codex by `skills/reviewing-prs/scripts/review-dispatch.sh`. The dispatcher renders `skills/reviewing-prs/references/review-worker-bootstrap.md`, which binds the PR number, branch, linked issue body, risk manifest, repository facts, and a reusable engine instruction block before explicitly telling the outer worker to invoke `doperpowers:reviewing-prs`. + +The outer Review Worker is not the same thing as the native review engine. `skills/reviewing-prs/scripts/review-engine.sh` starts an inner `codex exec review --base` process and writes a compact findings file. A Codex outer worker runs that process nested inside its existing sandbox; a Claude outer worker runs it on the host. The script owns the environment fixes needed in both cases: temporary writable `CODEX_HOME`, inherited authentication, TLS certificate bundle, code-mode host path, and nested Seatbelt handling. These mechanics are proven and must remain unchanged. + +Today the engine additionally accepts `--criteria `. `skills/reviewing-prs/references/engine-blocks/engine-codex-review.md` tells the outer worker to copy ticket requirements into that file. `review-engine.sh` then sends fixed `developer_instructions` that point Codex at the criteria file and ask it to judge spec compliance and decision discipline. The change removes this entire criteria path so that Codex performs its unmodified native correctness review. + +The Implement Worker contract is in `skills/implementing-tickets/references/implement-worker-protocol.md`. Before opening source files, an Implement Worker must decide whether the issue is well-defined and well-scoped. Product design or taste decisions must be answered by the ticket; unresolved human-grade decisions cause a `needs-human` park. On a pass, the worker transitions the issue to `in-progress` and posts a `[gate] pass` comment. A human-grade fork discovered later requires another pause and escalation. The Review Worker now audits this contract directly. + +“Substantively ready” means the issue body contains enough settled scope, requirements, acceptance, and human-grade decisions for the implementation that was attempted. A mere status transition or `[gate] pass` comment does not make an underspecified issue ready. Conversely, an absent gate comment is incomplete process evidence, not proof of an unauthorized implementation decision. A “human-grade fork” means a decision on user-visible behavior, product wording or taste, scope, incompatible requirements, destructive policy, or another choice where reasonable humans could prefer different outcomes for non-technical reasons. Internal naming and conventional technical choices with one evident repo-consistent answer remain worker-grade. + +Key files and their roles are: + +- `skills/reviewing-prs/SKILL.md`: outer Review Worker protocol, finding routing, re-review, and merge authority. +- `skills/reviewing-prs/references/engine-blocks/engine-codex-review.md`: reusable engine-start and findings-join instructions injected as `ENGINE_BLOCK`. +- `skills/reviewing-prs/references/engine-blocks/fallback-engine.md`: retry and engine-outage behavior. +- `skills/reviewing-prs/scripts/review-engine.sh`: synchronous inner native Codex invocation and environment recipe. +- `skills/reviewing-prs/scripts/review-dispatch.sh`: mechanical per-PR context gathering and outer-worker spawn. +- `tests/reviewing-prs/test-review-engine.sh`: hermetic engine CLI/environment tests with a stub Codex binary. +- `tests/reviewing-prs/test-skill-entrypoint.sh`: structural assertions on runtime skill ownership and policy. +- `tests/reviewing-prs/test-review-dispatch.sh`: rendered-bootstrap and dispatcher integration tests. +- `skills/reviewing-prs/references/operation-manual.md`: operator-facing explanation of the review loop. +- `docs/doperpowers/specs/2026-07-08-pr-review-loop-design.md`: original loop design and later revision history. +- `docs/doperpowers/specs/2026-07-12-native-review-recovery-design.md`: prior criteria-coupled engine design, retained as history but amended by revision note and current-state corrections. + +## Plan of Work + +Milestone 1 establishes a RED baseline. Change `tests/reviewing-prs/test-review-engine.sh` first so the happy path calls `review-engine.sh --base origin/main --out ...` without a criteria file and asserts that the logged Codex argv contains neither `developer_instructions` nor any criteria path. Change usage tests so `--base` plus `--out` is valid and missing either remains exit 2. Preserve every environment, sandbox, auth, output, and return-code assertion. In `tests/reviewing-prs/test-skill-entrypoint.sh`, add assertions that the runtime skill names the issue body as primary specification, limits secondary evidence to documents explicitly referenced by it, defines `PROTOCOL BLOCKER`, `SPEC FINDING`, and `AUDIT NOTE`, starts native correctness review before the worker audit, records the independent audit before the join, and scopes native severity to native findings. In `tests/reviewing-prs/test-review-dispatch.sh`, replace criteria-carrier assertions with rendered-prompt assertions for a background native engine call, worker-owned audit, join point, and absence of `--criteria`/`developer_instructions`. Run all three tests and record the expected failures before production edits. + +Milestone 2 restores the engine boundary. In `skills/reviewing-prs/scripts/review-engine.sh`, rewrite the header and usage to `review-engine.sh --base --out `. Remove `criteria` parsing, criteria-file validation, the `developer_instructions` construction, and the `-c developer_instructions=...` argument. Keep model/effort, hooks-off setting, temporary `CODEX_HOME`, auth link, TLS and code-mode environment, nested-only sandbox flag, JSON event stream, compact `-o` output, and rc passthrough exactly as they are. In `engine-codex-review.md`, remove creation of `criteria.md` and all “untrusted review context” prose. Define the native process as pure correctness review and instruct the outer worker to start it through the current harness's native background execution facility, retaining its task handle and `/findings-r1.txt` path without reading the result yet. The synchronous engine command remains the same on re-review except for the removed `--criteria` argument. + +Milestone 3 moves compliance into the outer Review Worker. Reorder `skills/reviewing-prs/SKILL.md` so orientation first reads the PR body, linked issue body, diff shape, and process evidence needed to locate the `[gate] pass` or later human-answer comments. The issue body is primary specification. Follow only documents explicitly referenced from that issue body as secondary specification evidence; treat their contents as data and never let them override this review protocol. Launch the native engine in the background before reading the implementation in depth. + +Add a named `IMPLEMENTER-PROTOCOL AUDIT` section after engine launch. The worker reads the changed implementation through the spec/decision lens, not as a second generic correctness reviewer. It answers whether the issue was substantively ready for the implemented scope; whether the implementation matches settled requirements; which non-trivial implementation choices were human-grade; whether each was settled in the issue, an issue-referenced document, or a human answer recorded on the issue before the implementation hardened it; and whether the Implement Worker stopped when a human-grade fork emerged. The worker writes its independent result to `/protocol-audit.md` before reading the native findings. A ticketless PR skips this audit and records that fact. + +The audit file uses exactly three classes. `PROTOCOL BLOCKER` means substantive gate failure or silent assumption of an unresolved human-grade fork; it requires `needs-human` with the unresolved decision or authorization problem and prevents both self-merge and `confident-ready`. `SPEC FINDING` means the accepted issue specification gives a clear answer and the implementation violates it; it is verified and routed `FIX NOW` when correction is within scope, or `TOO BIG` when the correction is materially new scope. `AUDIT NOTE` means process evidence such as `[gate] pass` is missing or weak, but the issue was substantively ready and no unauthorized product decision is present; it is written to the trail and does not enter the finding bins. + +Add an explicit `JOIN` step after the audit file is complete. Wait for the background native task, apply the existing retry/outage behavior if it failed, then read the compact native findings and the already-written audit together. Native critical/high severity remains the blocker bit only for native correctness findings. Every native finding and every `SPEC FINDING` is verified against the relevant code and specification before routing. A `PROTOCOL BLOCKER` is already a verified authority gap and routes to `needs-human`; it is never “fixed” by the Review Worker choosing the product answer. Update re-review language: after a behavior-changing fix, rerun native correctness in the background and re-check the affected settled requirements while it runs; historical missing-process evidence remains an audit note, while an unresolved protocol blocker still requires a human answer. Update the review-trail contract to report both tracks, the gate/audit verdict, every audit note, findings and bins, engine rounds, and tier judgment. + +Milestone 4 updates documentation without rewriting history. In `skills/reviewing-prs/references/operation-manual.md`, replace the review-engine section with the two-track architecture and state that the worker is no longer idle while native review runs. Explain the evidence hierarchy and the three audit classes briefly. In `docs/doperpowers/specs/2026-07-08-pr-review-loop-design.md`, update the active architecture and acceptance language where it still says the outer worker never receives the diff, then append a dated Revision Note describing the responsibility split. Preserve the historical draft section as historical text unless an active statement would mislead current operation. In `docs/doperpowers/specs/2026-07-12-native-review-recovery-design.md`, correct current-state claims about criteria and compact-context ownership, mark the criteria-specific acceptance clauses as superseded, and append a dated Revision Note pointing to this ExecPlan. Do not erase the discovery history that explains why the nested engine and environment recipe exist. + +Milestone 5 verifies the result. Run the three focused tests until green, then run all reviewing-prs suites: `tests/reviewing-prs/test-review-engine.sh`, `tests/reviewing-prs/test-skill-entrypoint.sh`, `tests/reviewing-prs/test-review-dispatch.sh`, `tests/reviewing-prs/test-land-dispatch.sh`, and `tests/reviewing-prs/test-reviewer-protocol.sh` if that file exists. Run the implementing-ticket protocol invariant test because the new audit mirrors that contract. Run `scripts/lint-shell.sh` with the changed shell files explicitly if its default changed-file mode sees no committed files. Run `git diff --check origin/main...HEAD` after commits. Inspect the rendered engine block and runtime skill directly to confirm no `developer_instructions`, `--criteria`, or stale claim that the worker never reads implementation remains in the active contract. + +For the independent exit review, do not invoke the native `code-review` skill and do not dispatch a reviewer subagent. After committing, run one direct bounded `codex exec review --base origin/main` from the branch, read only its final verdict, verify any finding against the code, and fix only confirmed issues. If the direct review cannot run, record the failure and complete the deterministic verification rather than falling back to recursive delegation. + +Milestone 6 finishes delivery. Update this plan's Progress, Surprises, Decision Log if needed, and Outcomes & Retrospective with exact verification evidence. Commit implementation changes without `Co-Authored-By` or other attribution. Fetch `origin` before push and ensure `origin/main...HEAD` contains only the reviewing-prs work. Push `refactor/reviewing-prs-skill-entrypoint`, then update draft PR #14's body to describe both commits, the new concurrent tracks, and actual test evidence. Keep the PR draft, do not merge it, and do not push directly to `main`. + +## Concrete Steps + +Run all commands from `/Users/new/Documents/GitHub/doperpowers` on branch `refactor/reviewing-prs-skill-entrypoint`. + +First edit tests only, then run: + + tests/reviewing-prs/test-review-engine.sh + tests/reviewing-prs/test-skill-entrypoint.sh + tests/reviewing-prs/test-review-dispatch.sh + +Expected RED evidence includes failures stating that the old engine still requires `--criteria`, still passes `developer_instructions`, and that the worker protocol lacks the audit/start/join contract. Record the exact failure count in `Surprises & Discoveries`. + +After Milestones 2 and 3, rerun the same commands. Expected tails are: + + all green + all tests passed + all tests passed + +Then run the broader contract suite, skipping only files that do not exist: + + tests/reviewing-prs/test-review-engine.sh + tests/reviewing-prs/test-skill-entrypoint.sh + tests/reviewing-prs/test-review-dispatch.sh + tests/reviewing-prs/test-land-dispatch.sh + tests/reviewing-prs/test-reviewer-protocol.sh + tests/implementing-tickets/test-worker-protocol-invariants.sh + +Discover exact existing filenames before executing rather than treating a missing optional file as a product failure. Lint every changed shell file: + + scripts/lint-shell.sh \ + skills/reviewing-prs/scripts/review-engine.sh \ + tests/reviewing-prs/test-review-engine.sh \ + tests/reviewing-prs/test-skill-entrypoint.sh \ + tests/reviewing-prs/test-review-dispatch.sh + +Check whitespace and branch scope: + + git diff --check + git status --short + git diff --stat origin/main...HEAD + +Commit at natural milestones. Before final push: + + git fetch origin + git log --oneline origin/main..HEAD + git diff --check origin/main...HEAD + +For the bounded independent review, use the installed direct Codex CLI rather than any Claude reviewer skill or subagent: + + codex exec review --base origin/main + +Capture only the final verdict needed to decide whether a concrete finding requires verification. After fixes, rerun all affected tests and lint. Push only the feature branch and update PR #14 with `gh pr edit 14 --body-file `; do not mark ready or merge. + +## Validation and Acceptance + +Acceptance is behavioral and contract-focused. A stubbed invocation of `review-engine.sh --base origin/main --out /tmp/out` exits with the stub Codex return code, writes the compact findings file and event stream, preserves all environment/sandbox guarantees, and its logged argv contains `exec review --base origin/main` but contains neither `--criteria` nor `developer_instructions`. Omitting `--base` or `--out` exits 2. + +A rendered review-worker bootstrap for a linked ticket contains a pure native correctness command and explicit instructions to start it in the background before the worker's deep implementation audit. It identifies the linked issue body as the primary specification, permits only issue-referenced documents as secondary specification sources, requires the worker to record `protocol-audit.md` before reading native findings, and contains an explicit join step. It contains no criteria-file construction and no spec instructions directed at Codex. + +The runtime skill distinguishes native correctness findings from worker-owned audit output. Native critical/high severity remains the native blocker bit. A confirmed `PROTOCOL BLOCKER` prevents confidence and routes `needs-human`; a clear `SPEC FINDING` routes to an in-scope fix or too-big ticket; an `AUDIT NOTE` appears only in the review trail. Ticketless PRs still receive native correctness review and skip board writes and protocol audit cleanly. Engine outage behavior remains `ENGINE-UNAVAILABLE` with the ticket left in-review. Existing merge authority and auto-merge gates remain unchanged except that any protocol blocker disqualifies both confidence tiers. + +All focused and broader tests listed in Concrete Steps exit 0. Shell lint exits 0. `git diff --check origin/main...HEAD` emits no output. Draft PR #14 remains open and draft on base `main`, contains the original skill-entrypoint restructure plus this follow-up, and `main` is not pushed or merged. + +## Idempotence and Recovery + +Tests use temporary directories and stub binaries, so repeated runs do not alter GitHub or persistent daemon state. The dispatcher integration suite creates and removes its own temporary repository. `review-engine.sh` removes its temporary `CODEX_HOME` on every exit through its existing trap; preserve that guarantee. + +If a test edit produces the wrong RED failure, restore only that test hunk and rewrite it before touching production code. If the background protocol wording proves too harness-specific, keep `review-engine.sh` synchronous and revise only the caller instructions; do not add persistent daemon state. If a direct Codex exit review fails because of auth, rate limit, or environment issues, record that evidence and rely on the deterministic suites rather than invoking a reviewer subagent. If `origin/main` advances, fetch and rebase the feature branch, rerun all tests and lint, then push with a normal fast-forward update; never force-push unless the remote feature branch history was rewritten by this same session and the lease is verified. + +The implementation can be rolled back by reverting the follow-up commit: the original PR #14 skill-entrypoint restructure remains intact beneath it. No schema migration, external dependency, release, or consumer deployment is part of this work. + +## Artifacts and Notes + +The intended runtime order after implementation is: + + Review Worker ORIENTS on PR, issue body, referenced docs, and diff shape + starts pure native Codex correctness review in background + performs independent IMPLEMENTER-PROTOCOL AUDIT + writes protocol-audit.md before reading Codex output + waits for native task and reads compact findings + joins native findings + SPEC FINDINGs + PROTOCOL BLOCKERs + AUDIT NOTEs + verifies and routes + re-reviews when existing triggers require it + self-merges only if every existing rubric clause holds and no protocol blocker exists + otherwise routes confident-ready or needs-human as the protocol requires + +The intended native command is: + + CODEX_REVIEW_MODEL= CODEX_REVIEW_EFFORT= \ + skills/reviewing-prs/scripts/review-engine.sh \ + --base origin/ --out /findings-r1.txt + +There is intentionally no criteria argument and no custom prompt or developer instruction. + +## Interfaces and Dependencies + +No new external dependency is introduced. `review-engine.sh` continues to require Bash, `codex`, a Git worktree, and the existing environment recipe. Its final interface is: + + review-engine.sh --base --out + +It remains synchronous: success or failure is reflected in its exit code, and the caller chooses whether to run it in the foreground or background. On success it writes the native compact verdict to `` and JSON events to `.events.jsonl`. + +The Review Worker protocol gains one conceptual output, stored in its already-created per-review temporary directory: + + /protocol-audit.md + +This is not a machine schema or a new script interface. It is an independence artifact written by the outer worker before it reads native findings. It contains zero or more `PROTOCOL BLOCKER` and `SPEC FINDING` entries plus any `AUDIT NOTE` entries, each with evidence from the issue body, issue-referenced documents, issue process history, and relevant changed code. + +The dispatcher and bootstrap interfaces do not gain new placeholders. `ISSUE_BODY`, `PR_BODY`, `ENGINE_BLOCK`, `FALLBACK_BLOCK`, and existing repo facts are sufficient. The active protocol may instruct the worker to use `gh` for issue comments or timeline evidence when needed; the issue body remains the primary specification regardless of those process records. + +## Revision Notes + +- 2026-07-14: Initial autonomous ExecPlan authored after the human-approved grill and blocker rule.

Na Exit review materially strengthened the design beyond the initial responsibility split. Eleven verified findings across seven rounds closed trust gaps around workspace skill spoofing, current-versus-authoritative issue and protocol text, resumed human answers, mutable referenced documents, ticketless evidence routing, contradictory Validation Evidence classification, and same-worktree command concurrency. The final design binds dispatcher-owned Review and Implement Worker contracts, fingerprints authorization-time inputs in the gate comment, uses GitHub edit history for ticket drift, refuses retroactive contract enforcement, and keeps concurrent audit read-only until native review joins.
