It must start from the approved plan/spec/acceptance criteria, then user-facing contracts, and only then implementation code as supporting evidence. Plan/code mismatches are blockers, not items to paper over with implementation intent.
+6. The executor QA/red-team lane must prove evidence by the real surface under test:
+   - GUI/web surfaces require browser automation plus a screenshot or image verdict.
+   - CLI surfaces require logs or terminal transcripts from real invocation.
+   - API/package surfaces require external consumer or black-box tests through the public interface.
+   - Algorithm/math surfaces require boundary, property, adversarial, and failure-mode cases.
+7. The executor QA/red-team lane must report a matrix using `executorQa.contractCoverage`, `executorQa.surfaceEvidence`, `executorQa.adversarialCases`, and `executorQa.artifactRefs`. Not-applicable rows are allowed only in `contractCoverage` and `surfaceEvidence`; each `status: "not_applicable"` row requires `contractRef` plus `reason`. `adversarialCases` rows cannot be not-applicable.
+8. Run a final code review pass and fold it into the strict quality gate. Clean means `architectReview.architectureStatus`, `architectReview.productStatus`, and `architectReview.codeStatus` are all `"CLEAR"`, `architectReview.recommendation` is `"APPROVE"`, executor QA statuses are `"passed"`, iteration is `"passed"` with `fullRerun: true`, every evidence field is non-empty, every required matrix row is present, and every blockers array is empty. `COMMENT`, `WATCH`, `REQUEST CHANGES`, `BLOCK`, missing evidence, missing or shallow matrix rows, plan/code mismatches, or non-empty blockers are non-clean.
+9. If any lane finds an issue, do **not** checkpoint `complete` and do **not** call `goal({"op":"complete"})`. Record durable blocker work instead:
    ```sh
    gjc ultragoal record-review-blockers --goal-id <id> --title "Resolve verification blockers" --objective "<blocker-resolution objective>" --evidence "<architect/executor findings>" --gjc-goal-json <active-goal-get-json-or-path>
    ```
-5. Complete or steer through the blocker story, then rerun the full blocking verification loop. Repeat until all verifier lanes are clean.
-6. Only after the loop is clean, checkpoint the story as complete with a structured quality gate and a fresh active `goal({"op":"get"})` snapshot. The checkpoint creates a receipt; `goals.json.status` alone is not proof. In aggregate mode, the final aggregate receipt must exist before `goal({"op":"complete"})` is allowed.
