+- Do not dilute findings with generic positive statements.

+- Minimum: 6 rows
+- Must include at least:
+  - Empty/first-run states

+  - Feedback/confidence loops
+  - Destructive action safety
+  - Accessibility semantics/manual validation
+  - Responsive usability
+- Every row must be actionable (not only diagnostic).
+- Language: English only.
+- Keep recommendations deduplicated and normalized across UX/UI/A11Y reports.

+- `P0` = major user risk, activation blocker, or high operational risk
+- `P1` = significant productivity/confidence/accessibility gain
+- `P2` = meaningful optimization, lower urgency

 ## Step 3 — Combined summary + HTML (after all agents finish)
 
+Before writing AUDIT-SUMMARY:
+- validate coverage matrix
+- if any missing routes -> summary title must include "INCOMPLETE"
+- include rerun plan for missing routes
+
 1. Write `<out-dir>/AUDIT-SUMMARY-<date>[-prod].md`:
    - Executive overview (all lenses)
    - Links to all MD reports
    - Combined scorecard + severity totals
-   - Top 5 cross-cutting issues (deduplicated)
+   - Coverage percent
+   - Missing routes table (route, UX/UI/A11Y status, blocker, next action)
+   - Top 10 cross-cutting issues by user impact (deduplicated)
+   - Consolidated P0/P1/P2 remediation plan (2-week / 6-week / 12-week horizon)
+   - Likely user mistakes
+   - Operational risk (destructive actions, false confidence, misconfiguration risk)
    - Merged handoffs
    - Shared Limitations (URL, viewports, roles, capture gaps)
    - Suggested remediation order
-2. Generate HTML for **all** reports:
+2. Global quality gate:
+   - Do not finalize `/full-audit` if UX+UI combined produce fewer than 6 MAJOR findings,
+     unless runtime coverage is explicitly blocked and documented.
+   - If `coverage_percent < 100`, mark the run `INCOMPLETE AUDIT` and do not present as finished.
+3. Build `RECOMMENDATIONS-TABLE-<date>[-prod].md|.json` from UX/UI/A11Y/SUMMARY reports:
+   - Use required columns in exact order.
+   - Ensure at least 6 actionable, deduplicated rows with required topic coverage.
+   - Force language to English.
+   - Include confidence-lower note if static-only mode was used.

+## Definition of done extension
+
+`/full-audit` is complete only if all are true:
+1. Existing UX/UI/A11Y/SUMMARY artifacts exist (MD + HTML + A11Y JSON).
+2. Recommendations table artifacts exist (MD + HTML + JSON).
+3. Table has required columns and minimum row coverage.
+4. Priorities are assigned and justified from audit evidence.
