+the final candidate of the configured review ceiling. Call `--role reviewer`
+without an ephemeral implementer candidate request. Use that result as the
+planning-parent capability threshold, not as an unconditional child pin.
+
+The default planning auto-review route is deliberate parent inheritance:
+
+1. Read launcher-owned evidence for the planning parent's configured model and
+   effort.
+2. Compare it with the resolved ceiling target on the provider's independent
+   axes.
+3. When the parent is known at or above the ceiling, omit the child model,
+   record `selection_reason: inherit`, and preserve the parent evidence.
+4. When the parent is unknown or below the ceiling, select the concrete ceiling
+   target before launch as the fail-closed exception below.
+
+Do not assume parent strength from self-report. Do not select a lower candidate
+for an exception. A `## Dispatch Profile` row alone cannot authorize reviewer
+lowering; only a separate reviewed contract may define a bounded lower
+candidate exception.
+
+For the exception route, bind every concrete managed reviewer target to the
+actual provider invocation before probing generic reviewer availability or
+selecting execution mechanics. A concrete managed Codex target takes precedence
+over generic tier availability.
+
+- Codex: when the resolver returns a materialized
+  `providers.codex.dispatchArgs.variant`, first launch that exact registered
+  reviewer variant as native `agent_type`. Only a recorded actual pre-start
+  native role-selection rejection permits a fresh Codex child with the resolver
+  target's explicit model, reasoning effort, and canonical role instructions
+  from `.agents/agents/oat-reviewer.md`. A separately pre-selected CLI route is
+  allowed only when native dispatch cannot express the complete target and no
+  child has started. If another route cannot preserve the target, use only a
+  verified-equivalent inline route or block the review.
 - Claude: require a non-empty `providers.claude.dispatchArgs.model` and put

+   - **Include all four:** do not exclude any of the four directory names.
+3. Identify any other recognizable agent-configuration directories, such as a provider-specific hidden directory, without assuming they are excluded. Ask separately: "Are there any other directories you would like to exclude from this review?"

+Use structured input when the active host supports it and plain conversational questions otherwise. Lock the resolved scope for the run and pass it to every reconnaissance lane. Exclude the resolved directories as finding evidence and plan-candidate surfaces, but permit bounded reads of their repository instructions, conventions, and intent documents when needed to understand how the product repository should be reviewed. Do not audit those contextual files for improvement findings unless the user includes or explicitly targets the directory.
