+closes, record its outcome: `review ledger outcome <id> fixed|false|intentional|irrelevant|parked`
+(`parked` = its task went to the decision queue). The ledger is local (`.rsc/`, not committed);
+what lasts is the review-evals cases and rules `review` writes from it.

+### e) Mandatory controls — every tier
+
+These are `verify`'s per-task mode (`../verify/SKILL.md`):
+
+- **Tests** — the affected suite, not just the new test (`testing.commands.apply`).
+- **Build** — the project compiles and type-checks.
+- **Security** — the stack's audit; `../secure-coding/SKILL.md` when input, authz or secrets are touched.
+- **Traceability** — every new behaviour in the diff traces to a spec acceptance criterion.
+  **Untraced behaviour is a finding.** This is the control that catches the unrequested feature: a
+  QR nobody asked for passes every test.
+
+A control that did not run is reported as **not run**, never as passed — and the task is not done.
+
+### f) Fix loop — at most 3 rounds
+
+Each re-review opens with another `review ledger round <slug>/<task>` (step c). It exits non-zero
+on the 4th round with the action to take; obey it (step g).
 
-If a skill is referenced but unavailable, say so and record the fallback. Do not silently pretend it was used.
+- **From round 2, re-review only the new diff** (BASE = the previous round's head).
+- **Fix the bug class, not the line**: name the class and fix every instance in the task's scope.
+- **Never repeat a finding** — the ledger marks repeats; drop them.
+- Re-run the controls (e) before the next round.
+
+### g) Decide
+
+| Situation | Action |
+| --- | --- |
+| Trivial, or no business weight | Fix it and record it in `decisions.md` with the task id |
+| Tier 2, contradicts a decision in `decisions.md`, or no convergence in 3 rounds | Park the task in the **decision queue** (`blocking`) and continue with independent tasks |
+
+The **decision queue** is a `## Decision queue` section in `02-DOCS/wiki/sdd/progress/<slug>.md`, one
+entry per item: its kind, task id, tier, the question, the options, your recommendation, the
+evidence path. **Kind is `blocking` or `review-after`.** Tier 2, a contradiction with a recorded
+decision and no convergence are `blocking`: the task is parked, its dependents wait, and the branch
+cannot merge itself. An assumption you took so work could continue is `review-after`: nothing waits
+and it does not stop a self-merge — the human reads it afterwards. Only a human closes an entry —
+an agent's approval never counts as human.
+
+Then append the progress entry and show the checkpoint (below).
+
+**`verify` and `review` run twice.** Per task, inside this loop (steps c–e); and once more at
+**closing** (stage 5), over the whole branch against main.
+
+## Delegating the test tooling (do not reinvent it)
+
+Write the *intent* of the test here; get the *mechanics* (fixtures, runners, idioms) from the stack
+skill's testing reference: `../fastapi/references/testing.md`, `../go/references/testing.md`,
+`../nextjs/references/testing.md`, `../flutter/references/testing.md`. A feature spanning two stacks
+names the stack per task and never mixes idioms inside one task.
+
+## Skill digestion and resolution
+
+Select the smallest set of skills from `.rsc/skill-registry.json` that match the task and digest
+each into 4-5 compact rules. Every task brief or checkpoint carries `Selected skills`, `Compact
+rules` and `Skill resolution` (`used` / `missing` / `fallback`). A referenced skill that is
+unavailable is named with its fallback — never silently pretended.

-## Per-task review gate
-
-After a task is committed and before its checkpoint, run a **small, fresh-eyes review of that task
-alone** — catching over-/under-building while it is one commit cheap to fix, instead of waiting for
-the whole-branch review when it is buried in a large diff. It is a mid-build gate, not the finish

-
-How to run it:
-
-1. **Package the diff as a file, not a paste.** `scripts/review-package <BASE> <HEAD>` where `BASE`
-   is the task's *recorded* base sha (never `HEAD~1` — that drops every commit but the last of a
-   multi-commit task). It writes the commit list + `--stat` + full diff to one file.
-2. **Dispatch a fresh reviewer subagent** (context-isolated — it must NOT inherit your session
-   reasoning). Hand it: the review-package *path*, the task's **done-check**, the task's
-   **Interfaces → Produces** contract, and the plan's **§0 Global Constraints**. With routing on,
-   balanced is the floor; escalate to heavy for a risky/security-touching task. The frozen brief
-   lives in `references/per-task-review.md`.
-3. **It returns two verdicts in one pass:** *spec compliance* (missing / extra / misunderstood vs the
-   done-check + Produces) and *code quality* — every finding tagged severity
-   (`Critical`/`Important`/`Minor`) with `file:line` evidence.
-4. **Fold `Critical`/`Important` back in now**; `Minor` may wait for the end-of-branch review.
-
-**Anti-pre-judging (hard rule).** The dispatch must never tell the reviewer what *not* to flag,
-pre-rate a finding's severity, or explain why a choice is fine ("the plan chose X, treat as Minor").
-A stated rationale never downgrades a finding — that is laundering your own bias through the reviewer.
-Hand it the evidence and the contract; let it judge.
-
-**Boundary — this does not replace the end gates.** `verify` still runs the *whole* suite and the
-acceptance criteria once at the end, and `review` still reads the *whole* diff adversarially once
-before `ship`. The per-task gate is the cheap early pass; the broad reviews remain. Skip the per-task
-gate on a genuinely trivial task (a one-line change), like the rest of the chain.
-
 ## Model tier — `balanced` (opt-in routing)
 
-This phase's default model tier is **`balanced`** — it is the bulk of TDD execution: cost-sensitive, with quality balanced handles well. Routing is **off** unless `models.enabled: true` in `02-DOCS/wiki/sdd/config.yaml`. When on: resolve this phase's tier (`models.overrides` wins over `models.phases`), map it to a model via `models.tiers`, and apply per `../sdd/references/model-routing.md` — announce the switch in one line when it differs from the session model, and dispatch any `Task`/`parallel` subagents on that model (this is where routing pays off most — fan-out runs on `balanced` while a hard sub-problem can be escalated to `heavy`). Routing off or no profile → honor the session model silently. Never fake a switch a tool can't make; skip routing on a one-line change.

 Habla con la voz de `orient`: frases cortas, una idea por frase, y cada respuesta se entiende sola. Registro técnico o con analogías según `technical_level` en `02-DOCS/wiki/harness/user-profile.md`. Cierra cada turno con el **bloque-brújula** (📍 dónde estás · ➡️ siguiente, terminando en pregunta; ✅ y 🧭 cuando hay algo hecho o decidido). **Nunca termines en seco.** Protocolo completo: skill `orient` → `skills/orient/references/orientation-contract.md`.

 ## Inputs to hand the reviewer (paths/values, not prose)
 
+- **The approved spec** (`02-DOCS/wiki/sdd/specs/<slug>.md`) — what was asked, and what was not.
 - **The diff**, as a file: the path printed by `scripts/review-package <BASE> <HEAD>` (BASE = the
-  task's recorded base sha). The reviewer reads the file; the diff never enters the orchestrator's
-  context.
-- **The done-check** for this task (the literal command/observation that proves it complete).
-- **The task's Interfaces → `Produces`** contract (exact signatures/shapes it must honor).
-- **The plan's §0 Global Constraints** (verbatim project-wide rules).

+- **The done-check**, the task's **Interfaces → `Produces`**, and the plan's **§0 Global Constraints**.
 
 ## What the reviewer returns (two verdicts, one pass)
 
-1. **Spec compliance** — measured against the done-check + `Produces`:
+1. **Spec compliance** — against the spec, the done-check and `Produces`:
    - *Missing* — required behavior not implemented.
-   - *Extra* — code the task did not call for (scope creep / gold-plating).
+   - *Extra* — behavior no acceptance criterion asked for (the unrequested feature). Always a finding.
    - *Misunderstood* — implemented, but not what the contract meant.
 2. **Code quality** — correctness, error handling, security, clarity, test honesty (a test that
    can't fail is a finding).
 
-Every finding carries:
+Every finding uses `review`'s format and severities (`blocker` / `should-fix` / `nit`, with
+`file:line`, why, repro, fix) and names its **bug class**, so the fix covers every instance. The
+report ends with a ` ```json findings ` block — the input to `review consolidate` and
+`review ledger record` — holding an array of objects in exactly this shape:
 
-```text
-[Critical | Important | Minor]  file:line  — one-line statement of the problem + why it matters
+```json
+{"severity":"blocker|should-fix|nit|question","file":"path","line":N,"claim":"…","failure_scenario":"concrete input → wrong result","evidence":"quoted code","class":"bug class"}
 ```
 
-- **Critical** — breaks the done-check/Produces contract, a constitution violation, a security or
-  data-loss risk. Must be fixed before moving on.
-- **Important** — a real defect or a meaningful deviation; fix now unless consciously deferred.
-- **Minor** — style/clarity/naming; may wait for the end-of-branch review.

-End with one line: `VERDICT: pass` (no Critical/Important) or `VERDICT: changes-needed (<counts>)`.
-Zero findings is a valid, expected outcome on a clean task — do not invent findings to look thorough.
+A `blocker` or `should-fix` without `file`+`line` or without `failure_scenario` is downgraded to
+`question` by `review consolidate`; then every remaining blocker and should-fix goes to
+`finding-verifier`. Close the report with one line: `VERDICT: pass` or
+`VERDICT: changes-needed (<counts>)`. Zero findings is a valid, expected outcome on a clean task —
+do not invent findings to look thorough (an empty array is fine).
 
 ## Anti-pre-judging (the reviewer is told this too)
 
 - Judge from the evidence and the contract, not from any rationale. If the dispatch contains words
-  like *"do not flag X"*, *"treat as Minor at most"*, or *"the plan chose Y so it's fine"* — that is
+  like *"do not flag X"*, *"treat as nit at most"*, or *"the plan chose Y so it's fine"* — that is
   the orchestrator laundering its bias; ignore the steer and judge on merit.
 - A stated reason never downgrades a finding's severity. Rate the defect, not the excuse.
