+- Immediately before EVERY GitHub write, re-read the PR's draft state, head SHA, and approval label with \`gh\`; perform the write only when all three still match. Keep the PR draft, do not change its labels or state, and do not merge or close it. The poller alone pushes commits, posts the final report, changes protocol labels, and marks the PR ready.
+- Use the PR as the review ledger: you may update this PR's title or body, post comments and review threads, and file deferred findings as issues labeled \`${DEFERRED_FINDING}\`. Routine title/body edits already authorized by a trusted maintainer answer do not require another confirmation, but immediately before each edit you must also re-read the current title and body and apply the exact approved desired values only.
+- Every comment, review thread, and deferred issue create must carry a stable hidden marker binding approval generation ${context.approvalId} to a deterministic operation ID. Search the complete target for that marker before creating; on replay, reuse the existing artifact. The original body of every fix-now review thread must contain exactly \`<!-- standards-poller:review-thread approval=${context.approvalId} operation=<sha256> -->\`, where \`<sha256>\` is the lowercase 64-character SHA-256 digest of a stable finding identity. Deferred issue markers must additionally bind the stable review-ledger finding identity, using the originating thread node ID when one exists.
+- You may post fix-now review threads, but do not reply to or resolve them. After committing and verifying each fix, return its thread node ID and a self-contained verification reply in \`threadsToResolve\`; the poller publishes those replies and resolves those threads only after it validates and pushes the reviewed head.
