-
-Both agents may spawn in parallel when a finding is both severe and
-security-related. The follow-up agents receive the review report (capped at
-12K chars) and the changed file list, read the flagged files, confirm or refute
-each finding, **apply fixes using the edit tool**, and run typecheck/lint to
-verify.
-
-### Closed self-correcting loop
-
-After fix agents apply their changes, the system re-reads the modified files
-and re-emits `chimera.review_needed` to trigger a fresh review of the post-fix
-state. If that review still finds High+ findings, the cycle repeats up to
-`maxCascadeDepth` iterations. When the depth limit is reached, a session message
-informs the user the loop stopped intentionally.

-| `2` (default) | Up to 2 re-review cycles |
-| `N` | Up to N re-review cycles |

-### Severity thresholds
-
-| `cascadeOn` | Fires when |
-|-------------|-----------|
-| `"off"` | Never (default) |
-| `"high"` | Any High OR Critical finding |
-| `"critical"` | Only Critical findings |
-
-### Agent selection
-
-`decideCascadeAgents()` scans only the Critical and High report sections for

-injection, xss, csrf, ssrf, sql, secret, credential, password, api key,
-token, auth, shell injection, command injection, innerhtml, deserialization,
-path traversal, hardcoded, privilege, owasp.

-
-Because cascade agents act on your `file:line` and your one-line fix and little

+## Follow-up behavior
 
-The `cascadeOn` and `maxCascadeDepth` settings are owned by the runtime plugin
-(`extensions.wstack-auto-review`). If those setting keys are renamed or moved
-to a different config path, this section will become stale — update it as part
-of the config migration.
+Review completion is terminal: persist the report, notify every UI, and stop.
+Legacy `autoFix`, `cascadeOn`, and `maxCascadeDepth` values do not authorize a
+leader turn, fix agent, or re-review loop. The user may inspect the mailbox or
+finding store and explicitly ask the leader to act later.
 
-If the leader session has ended before cascade agents complete, their results
-are still captured in the session transcript and can be reviewed when the
-leader next resumes the session.
+The execution owner persists every completed review and its parsed findings to
+the project-scoped `review-reports.jsonl` and `review-findings.jsonl` stores
+before publishing `chimera.review_complete`. This durability contract is
+independent of whether the optional post-session `wstack-chimera` plugin is
+enabled; auto-review-only sessions must retain the same report history.
+Mutations and compaction use cross-process file locks. When the combined stores

+# Data Governance — WrongStack
+
+Designs and reviews data governance for WrongStack services: schema ownership, PII handling, retention, lineage, access policy, and migration safety.
+
+## Overview
+
+Establishes who owns each data entity, how sensitive fields are classified and protected, how long data is retained, and how schema changes ship without losing or leaking data. Produces concrete policy plus code-level guardrails, not prose.
+
+## Rules
+
+1. Every persisted entity has exactly one owning service; cross-service access goes through that service's API, never a shared table.
+2. Classify every field: public, internal, sensitive, or restricted (PII/credentials). Restricted fields are encrypted at rest and redacted in logs.
+3. Never log or echo restricted fields — redact at the serialization boundary, not at each call site.
+4. Every schema change ships with a forward migration AND a documented rollback; destructive drops are two-phase (deprecate → drop) across releases.
+5. Retention is explicit per entity: define a TTL/purge cadence and honor deletion requests (right-to-erase) with a verifiable purge path.
+6. Lineage: a field's origin and transformations are traceable; derived data records its source columns/versions.
+
+## Patterns
+
+### Do
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Classify + redact at the boundary
+interface UserRecord {
+  id: string; // internal
+  email: string; // restricted (PII) — encrypted at rest
+  createdAt: string; // internal
+}
+function toLog(u: UserRecord) {
+  return { id: u.id, email: '[redacted]', createdAt: u.createdAt };
+}
+```
+
+```sql
+-- ✅ Two-phase destructive change: deprecate first, drop next release
+ALTER TABLE sessions ADD COLUMN legacy_data_deprecated_at timestamptz; -- phase 1
+-- (next release, after backfill + verification)
+-- ALTER TABLE sessions DROP COLUMN legacy_data;                       -- phase 2
+```
+
+### Don't
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ Log the whole record — leaks PII into the log stream
+logger.info('user', user);
+
+// ❌ Shared-table cross-service read — bypasses the owning service's policy
+db.query('SELECT email FROM users WHERE ...'); // from a service that doesn't own users
+```
+
+## Workflow
+
+```
+1. Inventory:  List entities, owning service, and field classifications
+2. Policy:     Define retention/TTL, access rules, encryption-at-rest for restricted fields
+3. Guardrails: Redaction at the serialization boundary, audit log for restricted access
+4. Migration:  Forward + rollback plan; destructive changes two-phase
+5. Verify:     Purge-path test (right-to-erase), redaction test, migration dry-run

+## What to look for
+
+- **Orphaned ownership**: a table no service claims, or two services writing the same table
+- **PII in logs/errors**: restricted fields appearing in log lines, stack traces, or error payloads
+- **Missing retention**: data kept forever with no TTL or purge path
+- **One-phase drops**: `DROP COLUMN`/`DROP TABLE` shipping without a deprecate-first phase
+- **Untraceable lineage**: derived tables with no record of source columns/versions
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+- **Don't redact per-call-site** — centralize at the serialization boundary or a single field will leak
+- **Don't share tables across services** — it bypasses ownership and access policy
+- **Don't ship destructive migrations without rollback** — every change is reversible until proven otherwise
+- **Don't treat "internal" as "not sensitive"** — internal data still needs access policy and retention
+
+## Skills in scope
+
+- `security-scanner` — for encryption-at-rest, secret handling, and access-control review
+- `audit-log` — for verifying restricted-access audit trails and retention evidence
+- `api-design` — for owning-service API boundaries instead of shared tables
+- `testing` — for redaction, purge-path, and migration tests
