 3. Identify changes since the previous reviewed head using local git history and diff. Classify every prior substantive finding as addressed, partially addressed, still open, refuted with evidence, or invalidated by changed code. Do not silently drop findings; a resolved thread alone is not proof. If the prior pass or its head cannot be established, state that and do a first-time full review.
 4. Review the incremental diff for regressions, incomplete fixes, test gaps, and scope changes, then review the cumulative MR against the recovered design, its contract, and analogous implementation — a push that fixed local defects has not answered a design finding. Collect and disposition any new human or bot signal. A pending known bot remains an approval gap after a bounded wait of at most ten minutes.
 5. Inspect execution hooks for untrusted behavior before running tests. Run safe, narrow applicable tests and typecheck against the current head with `env -u GH_TOKEN -u GITHUB_TOKEN -u GITLAB_TOKEN -u GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN`. For a non-code-only change with no application test harness, verify exact content, diff integrity, and current head instead; do not treat inapplicable tests as a failed gate. A prior pass's result does not clear the new head. Record exact commands and outcomes. Before any verdict, scrutinize your own requested changes — carried forward or new — as critically as the MR: establish why each belongs here, assume the author follows them exactly as written, and trace the result through affected callers and contracts. Before approval, challenge the strongest plausible failure case and require evidence for a verified current-head checkout, behavior, applicable local verification, finding disposition, and no known pending bot. A failed sandbox start, missing diff, or unrun applicable tests fails approval; never approve from MR metadata alone.
-6. Before publishing, call `factory_review_source` (no arguments) once.

Otherwise, run the in-run cross-check: (a) compare `triggeredBy` with the MR author you already read; (b) compare `reviewTarget.url` with the MR URL from `source_control_get_change_request` — intake records the MR URL for every card (`gitlab/rules.ts:481`), so `reviewTarget.url` covers the normal case.

Stop after this phase, record the tool's absence or failure and its raw response in the handoff under **Verification**, and hand off to a human — the verdict step below is skipped in this failure mode.
 
 Before drafting the handoff, run the in-run cross-check against the tool's output:
 
 1. Compare `triggeredBy` with `.author.login` from your Phase 1 `gh pr view --json author` fetch. `gh pr view --json author` returns an object (`{login, name, id, is_bot}`), so the comparison must be against `.login`.
 2. Compare `reviewTarget.url` with the `url` you resolve for the PR under re-review. If `reviewTarget.url` is `null`, fall back to a binding-vs-checkout comparison. Phase 1's `gh pr view <number>` resolves against the session checkout's own remote, so nothing derived from that checkout (its origin URL, its PR URL) can confirm the checkout **is** the bound repository — one side of the comparison must come from the binding. That side is `boundRepository`: first compare `boundRepository.repositoryId` (the intake-stamped numeric REST repository id) with the numeric id of the checkout's repository, resolved via `gh api repos/<owner>/<repo> --jq .id` (owner/repo from the checkout's `origin` remote; `gh repo view --json id` returns the GraphQL node id, not this number). If `boundRepository` is `null` or not a `github` shape, there is no verifiable bound repository — treat that as a mismatch. If the `gh api` id resolution itself fails or returns nothing, the comparison can't run at all — same outcome: stop, do not publish, record the failure in the handoff. Only when the repository ids match, compare the trailing PR number in `reviewTarget.externalId` (`github-pr:<number>`) with the Phase 1 PR number; the externalId scopes the number to the bound repository, so a mismatch on either comparison is proof of a wrong-target review.
 
-On any mismatch, stop and record it as a blocking security finding with both values verbatim. Do **not** publish anything on the PR — a mismatch means the fetched PR may not be the session's bound target, and posting any verdict (request changes included) puts a review on a PR that may be the wrong one.

Stop after Phase 6, record the tool's absence or failure and its raw response in the handoff under **Verification**, and hand off to a human — the verdict step below is skipped in this failure mode.
 
 Before drafting the handoff, run the in-run cross-check against the tool's output:
 
 1. Compare `triggeredBy` with `.author.login` from your Phase 1 `gh pr view --json author` fetch. `gh pr view --json author` returns an object (`{login, name, id, is_bot}`), so the comparison must be against `.login`, matching what Phase 2 already does at `gh pr view --json reviews --jq '.reviews[] | {author: .author.login, …}'`. If the two disagree, you are almost certainly reviewing a different PR than the one your session was bound to.
 2. Compare `reviewTarget.url` with the `url` you resolve for the PR under review (typically `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/pull/<number>` from the Phase 1 PR). If `reviewTarget.url` is `null`, fall back to a binding-vs-checkout comparison. Phase 1's `gh pr view <number>` resolves against the session checkout's own remote, so nothing derived from that checkout (its origin URL, its PR URL) can confirm the checkout **is** the bound repository — one side of the comparison must come from the binding. That side is `boundRepository`: first compare `boundRepository.repositoryId` (the intake-stamped numeric REST repository id) with the numeric id of the checkout's repository, resolved via `gh api repos/<owner>/<repo> --jq .id` (owner/repo from the checkout's `origin` remote; `gh repo view --json id` returns the GraphQL node id, not this number). If `boundRepository` is `null` or not a `github` shape, there is no verifiable bound repository — treat that as a mismatch. If the `gh api` id resolution itself fails or returns nothing, the comparison can't run at all — same outcome: stop, do not publish, record the failure in the handoff. Only when the repository ids match, compare the trailing PR number in `reviewTarget.externalId` (`github-pr:<number>`) with the Phase 1 PR number; the externalId scopes the number to the bound repository, so a mismatch on either comparison is proof of a wrong-target review.
 
-On any mismatch, stop and record it as a blocking security finding with both values verbatim. Do **not** publish anything on the PR — a mismatch means the fetched PR may not be the session's bound target, and posting any verdict (request changes included) puts a review on a PR that may be the wrong one. Re-run the Phase 1 fetch once and re-run this cross-check; publish only if the fresh check matches. If it still mismatches, hand off without publishing: record the mismatch in the **Factory routing** block, skip the transition step, and hand off to a human. An explanation in the handoff never authorizes publication.
