+Optional external source-reviewer lanes (#4209, DISP-01..05). A canonical reviewer-lane flag
+(e.g. `--codex`, `--agy`) requests that lane independently review the SAME already-resolved
+scope alongside the internal `gsd-code-reviewer` agent below. **No canonical flag present is
+the default and by far the common case:** this step is then inert — and the internal reviewer
+dispatch in `spawn_reviewer` stays unchanged from before #4209 (COMP-01).

+This step is itself opt-in at the capability layer (see `gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md`

+   `todos` is the only category the scanner caps (5 entries per scan, with a remainder count for the rest). Re-run `gsd_run query audit-open --json` (through the same `@file:` handling above) and repeat the `todos` block until it reports no `todos` items — every other category always returns its full open set in one pass.
+3. Re-run `gsd_run query audit-open --json` once more and write the items just acknowledged as new rows to STATE.md under `## Deferred Items` — append to the existing table (creating the section if absent) rather than overwriting it, preserving rows recorded at earlier milestone closes:
+   ```markdown
+   ## Deferred Items
+
+   Items acknowledged and deferred at milestone close, most recent first:
+
+   | Category | Item | Status | Deferred At | Milestone |
+   |----------|------|--------|-------------|-----------|
+   | debug_sessions | {slug} | {status} | {date} | {milestone} |
+   | quick_tasks | {slug} | {status} | {date} | {milestone} |
+   | threads | {slug} | {status} | {date} | {milestone} |
+   | seeds | {seed_id} | {status} | {date} | {milestone} |
+   | todos | {filename} | (presence-only) | {date} | {milestone} |
+   | uat_gaps | {phase}/{file} | {status} | {date} | {milestone} |
+   | verification_gaps | {phase}/{file} | {status} | {date} | {milestone} |
+   | context_questions | {phase}/{file} | {question_count} questions | {date} | {milestone} |
+   | deferred_items | {phase}/{file}: {text} | acknowledged | {date} | {milestone} |
+   ```
+   One row per item actually acknowledged in step 2 (omit categories with nothing to disclose this close). `{date}` is today's date; `{milestone}` is `MILESTONE_VERSION`. Sanitize all slug/status/text values via `sanitizeForDisplay()` before writing. Never inject raw file content into STATE.md.
+4. Set `closeout_type=override_closeout` and record in the MILESTONES.md entry: `Known verification overrides: {N} newly acknowledged, {M} carried forward from a prior close (see STATE.md Deferred Items)` — `{N}` is the count of items acknowledged in step 2 (the pre-acknowledgment audit JSON's `counts.total`) and `{M}` is that same audit JSON's `acknowledged.total` (items a PRIOR close already suppressed and still are).
+5. Proceed with milestone close.
+
+Acknowledging is verdict-preserving and self-invalidating: it never rewrites the artifact's own `status:` field (except `deferred_items`, whose entry has no other meaning for that field), and the suppression it grants lapses automatically the moment the artifact's observed state changes again — a reopened debug session, an edited UAT gap, a re-triggered seed, etc. resurfaces on its own at the next audit and must be acknowledged again.
+
+If output shows all clear (no open items): set `closeout_type=verified_closeout`. If the audit JSON's `acknowledged.total` is `0`, print `All artifact types clear.` and proceed. Otherwise the close is clean only because `{acknowledged.total}` item(s) acknowledged at an earlier milestone close are still being suppressed, not because everything was fixed this time — print `All artifact types clear ({acknowledged.total} previously acknowledged item(s) still suppressed — see STATE.md Deferred Items).` and record `Known verification overrides: 0 newly acknowledged, {acknowledged.total} carried forward from a prior close (see STATE.md Deferred Items)` in the MILESTONES.md entry before proceeding.
+
+(The SECURITY note on audit JSON provenance and STATE.md sanitization is stated in the spine, not repeated here.)
+
+## § 2 — handle_branches
+
+Check branching strategy and offer merge options.
+
+Use `init milestone-op` for context, or load config directly:
+
+```bash
+INIT=$(gsd_run query init.execute-phase "1")
+if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
+INIT_CM=$(gsd_run query init.complete-milestone)
+if [[ "$INIT_CM" == @file:* ]]; then INIT_CM=$(cat "${INIT_CM#@file:}"); fi
+```
+
+Extract `branching_strategy`, `phase_branch_template`, `milestone_branch_template`, and `commit_docs` from init JSON. Extract `git_create_tag` and `section_manifest` from `INIT_CM` (used by the `git_tag` step below).
+
+`BASE_BRANCH` is already resolved by the spine at this point (via the shared `git.base-branch` resolver) — the branch options below use it as-is.
+
+**If "none":** Skip to git_tag.
+
+**For "phase" strategy:**
+
+```bash
+BRANCH_PREFIX=$(echo "$PHASE_BRANCH_TEMPLATE" | sed 's/{.*//')
+PHASE_BRANCHES=$(git branch --list "${BRANCH_PREFIX}*" 2>/dev/null | sed 's/^\*//' | tr -d ' ')
+```
+
+**For "milestone" strategy:**
+
+```bash
+BRANCH_PREFIX=$(echo "$MILESTONE_BRANCH_TEMPLATE" | sed 's/{.*//')
+MILESTONE_BRANCH=$(git branch --list "${BRANCH_PREFIX}*" 2>/dev/null | sed 's/^\*//' | tr -d ' ' | head -1)
+```
+
+**If no branches found:** Skip to git_tag.
+
+**If branches exist:**
+
+```
+## Git Branches Detected
+
+Branching strategy: {phase/milestone}
+Branches: {list}
+
+Options:
+1. **Merge to main** — Merge branch(es) to main
+2. **Delete without merging** — Already merged or not needed
+3. **Keep branches** — Leave for manual handling
+```
+
+AskUserQuestion with options: Squash merge (Recommended), Merge with history, Delete without merging, Keep branches.
