+# Stage 5 — Visual-Diff Convergence Loop Protocol
+
+The core mechanism. Operates **per component** (component granularity is the
+primary anti-oscillation defense — a fix to one component cannot break
+another). Consumes `calibration.json` (Stage 2.5) and the per-component
+**snapshot host** (Stage 4 hard output contract).
+
+## One iteration
+
+1. **Render** the component via its snapshot host in the simulator
+   (`sim-screenshot.sh`). Normalize per `calibration.json.transform`
+   (crop → resample → P3→sRGB) so it co-registers with the Stage-2
+   reference crop for that component (`reference/<screen>/<component>.png`).
+2. **Diff cascade** (`pixel-diff.mjs`):
+   - pHash Hamming is recorded as raw data plus a `phash_fast_candidate`
+     boolean (≤ 5). **It is necessary-not-sufficient and NEVER a
+     short-circuit to `converged`** — `pixel-diff.mjs` does not decide the
+     verdict; `evaluate-convergence.mjs` does, and it always requires the
+     region gate to pass regardless of pHash.
+   - split component into **text regions** vs **non-text regions** using the
+     DOM bbox map:
+     - text → score by layout-box **IoU** + resolved **token-color ΔE**
+       (foreground/background), **never glyph-raster SSIM** (cross-renderer
+       glyph rasters are not comparable — Stage 2.5). IoU is the **real**
+       `bboxIoU(refBox, genBox)` only when `--gen-bbox-map` supplies the
+       generated bbox; otherwise `iou` is **`null`** (never a fabricated
+       1.0), and a `null` iou counts as a gate **FAIL**.
+     - non-text → SSIM + CIEDE2000 + AA-tolerant diff mask.
+   - **inter-component spacing delta** is `null` unless generated positions
+     are supplied via `--gen-bbox-map` (never fabricated `{top:0,leading:0}`).
+   - Inputs MUST be **co-registered** (same dimensions) — `pixel-diff.mjs`
+     does not normalize and **hard-errors (exit 1)** on a size mismatch;
+     pre-normalize via Stage 2.5 `calibration.transform` first.
+3. **Feedback payload** to the corrector LLM:
+   - reference + generated, both with **identical Set-of-Mark** numbered
+     overlays (`mark-overlay.mjs`),
+   - red diff-mask overlay on the reference,
+   - structured JSON delta (schema below),
+   - **two-stage critique**: (a) visual/perceptual NL critique, then (b)
+     code-level NL→SwiftUI-patch recommendation (separation of modalities).
+4. **Patch**: corrector emits a **structured per-file diff** (NOT a
+   whole-file rewrite — enables reversion control), constrained to the
+   `tokens.json` vocabulary; prior-iteration correction history is injected
+   ("you changed X which worsened Y; do not revert").
+5. **Recompile.** Compile-failure branch: revert working tree to the best
+   gate-passing iteration, **consume one iteration**; if the cap is hit with
+   no buildable+passing iteration ⇒ `needs-human` (never `converged`).
+6. **Re-measure** (step 2). Retain best **only among gate-passing
+   iterations** (monotone-or-fail: a non-passing run is never presented as a
+   result).
+
+Cap = `--max-iter` (default 3). Diminishing returns past 3 are documented in
+`../../../.omc/conductor/tracks/h5-to-swiftui/research/findings.md` RQ4.
+
+## The verdict is emitted ONLY by `scripts/evaluate-convergence.mjs`
+
+`convergence/<component>.json` is **never hand-written** by the orchestrator.
+The orchestrator runs `pixel-diff.mjs` per iteration, records each
+iteration's `built` flag, gathers masks + the independent-judge result, then
+calls `scripts/evaluate-convergence.mjs`, which **mechanically** decides the
+tier and **exits non-zero on any guard violation** (exit 3 =
+needs-human/guard violation, exit 4 = blocked, exit 0 = converged/close) so a
+pipeline cannot ignore a failed gate. Every guard below is enforced *in that
+script's code*, not by prose. The script — not the caller — chooses
+`best_iteration` and computes `gate_passed` per iteration; caller-supplied
+values for those are ignored.
+
+Invocation:
+
+```
+node scripts/evaluate-convergence.mjs \
+  --iterations iterations.json \      # [{i,diff_json_path,built}, ...]
+  --calibration calibration.json \    # STRUCTURED numeric gate (not string DSL)

+
+## Trust model & residual (honest disclosure — spec §1.1)
+
+The skill's own thesis (§1.1) is *report the residual, do not pretend it is
+zero*. Applied to the grader's **own** trust model:
+
+**Mechanically bound (fail-closed, in `evaluate-convergence.mjs` code):**
+
+- the structured `gate` is **recomputed from `calib.floor`** and a deviating
+  gate is rejected (`gate-floor-mismatch`, exit 1) — this binds the *gate to
+  the floor* (a hand-loosened gate is rejected unless the floor is loosened);
+  it does not bind the floor's *value*;
+- the **identity of the bundled twin source files** (excluding build
+  output/dotfiles) is bound via `calibration_source` source-tree hashes
+  recomputed from the actual `assets/calibration/{h5-twin,swiftui-twin}`
+  (`calibration-twin-mismatch`, exit 1) — this binds the twin *source
+  identity*, NOT the measured `floor` *value* (the real public twin hashes
+  can be copied alongside a loose floor);
+- the **`floor` value** is asserted to satisfy `calibrate-render.mjs`'s OWN
+  sanity envelope via the shared `scripts/_calib-consts.mjs`
+  (`ssim_nontext ≥ 0.95`, non-null `text_iou ≥ 0.9`, metric-valid
+  `deltaE_p95`); a floor calibrate-render could not have emitted (it writes
+  `blocked.json` below this) is rejected `floor-implausible`, exit 1 — this
+  kills the absurd-floor attack but does NOT re-measure the floor;
+- the judge negative control is bound to the **shipped, hash-pinned**
+  `assets/calibration/swiftui-twin-divergent` source files (structured +
+  rejected + framed; `negative-control-unbound` VOIDs any `YES`, exit 3);
+- pHash never short-circuits; a `null` text IoU is a FAIL; best-of-N is
+  monotone-or-fail; the mask budget is verified or the run refuses to pass;
+  `calibration.json.schema` is asserted.
+
+**Named, irreducible residuals (NOT zero — BOTH stated, neither hidden):** a
+fully zero-trust verdict is impossible because *something must run the
+renders and something must measure the floor*.
+
+1. **The grader cannot re-execute the simulator renders.** It trusts the
+   per-iteration `pixel-diff.mjs` JSONs were produced by running the **real
+   `pixel-diff.mjs` on real `sim-screenshot.sh` renders** (bounded by
+   `sim-screenshot.sh`'s no-fake build/env spine — no simulator / no build ⇒
+   `blocked`/`needs-human`, never converged).
+2. **The grader cannot re-measure the calibration floor.** It asserts the
+   supplied `floor` satisfies `calibrate-render.mjs`'s own sanity envelope
+   and recomputes the gate from it, but a `floor` *within* that envelope yet
+   looser than the TRUE measured floor is trusted (it cannot re-render the
+   bundled twins to re-derive the real number). Mitigated by the
+   orchestrator's contractual obligation to run the real,
+   sanity/flat-image-spined `calibrate-render.mjs` and by the human-readable
+   `calibration_provenance` recorded in the convergence artifact.
+
+These are the deliberate, documented boundaries: the deliverable is
+**"maximally provenance-bound + honestly disclosed residual"**, explicitly
+*not* "zero-trust". The **whole-assembled-screen trend check remains a
+Stage-7 manual cross-check**, not an automated Stage-5 guard (unchanged;
+still honestly scoped).
+
+## Tiered verdict (honest)
+
+`evaluate-convergence.mjs` reads the **structured** `calibration.json.gate`
+(numeric `gate.converged` / `gate.close` objects — a legacy string-DSL gate
+is rejected as un-enforceable) and evaluates it against each iteration's
+`pixel-diff.mjs` output:
+
+- **`converged`** — the *script's* chosen best iteration (built AND
+  gate-passing) passes the converged gate vs the *measured* floor AND the
+  independent judge `YES` with a valid negative control.
+- **`close`** — structural metrics within the `close` band AND judge returns
+  `visually-equivalent-residual-subperceptual`. This is an **honest accept**,
+  explicitly distinct from faking — "as good as this renderer pair allows".
+- **`needs-human`** — anything else; recorded with full evidence + the
+  machine-readable guard reason. **`blocked`** — a `blocked.json` is present
+  for the component (never converged).
+
+## Independent judge (anti-collusion)
+
+- Separate sub-agent, separate lane (OMC: never self-approve in same
+  context). Dispatch via `Agent` (use `verifier` or `qa-tester`), NOT the
+  corrector.
+- **Negative control (BOUND to the shipped divergent twin)**: before its
+  verdict is trusted, feed the judge the known-divergent pair
+  `h5-twin` vs the bundled `assets/calibration/swiftui-twin-divergent`; it
+  MUST return a rejection. This is **not** a free `"passed"` string — the old
+  bare form is rejected as unbound (it asserts a judge run nothing verified).
+  `judge.negative_control` MUST be the structured artifact below, and
+  `scripts/evaluate-convergence.mjs` recomputes the divergent twin's
+  source-tree hash from the shipped asset and fails closed
+  (`negative-control-unbound`, any `YES` VOID, exit 3) unless every field
+  matches:
+
+  ```json
+  "negative_control": {
+    "stimulus_source_hash": "<sha256 source-tree hash of the bundled assets/calibration/swiftui-twin-divergent>",
+    "divergent_pair": "h5-twin vs swiftui-twin-divergent",
+    "rejected": true,
+    "differences": [ { "desc": "green bg vs light", "severity": "major" }, … ]
+  }
+  ```
+
+  `stimulus_source_hash` ≠ the recomputed bundled divergent hash, OR
+  `rejected !== true`, OR an empty/unstructured `differences`, OR
+  `framing !== "forced-difference-3"` ⇒ the negative control is **unbound**,
+  any `YES` is **VOID**, tier forced `needs-human`, exit non-zero
+  (`reason: negative-control-unbound`). This ties "the judge really rejected
+  the *known-divergent* pair" to the shipped, hash-pinned asset rather than a
+  free string.
+- **Adversarial framing**: prompt = *"enumerate the 3 most significant
+  visual differences between A and B and rate each severity"*, never
+  "do these match?". A `converged` verdict requires all 3 to be
+  sub-perceptual / cross-renderer-irreducible. `judge.framing` MUST be
+  `"forced-difference-3"` (enforced; absence/mismatch VOIDs `YES`).
+
+## Anti-gaming guards
+
+**Enforced in code by `scripts/evaluate-convergence.mjs`** (violation ⇒ tier
+downgrade + non-zero exit + a machine-readable reason — never a silent pass):
+
+- **Mask budget**: `sum(mask area) / component area` must be ≤ 0.10; every
+  mask must carry a non-empty `reason`. Over budget or a reason-less mask ⇒
+  forced `needs-human`, exit 3. If masks are supplied but the component area
+  is unknown, the script **refuses to proceed (exit 1)** rather than silently
+  pass an unverifiable budget.
+- **Gate eval in code**: the structured `calibration.json` thresholds are
+  evaluated per iteration to produce `gate_passed` (the caller cannot supply
+  it). A text-region `iou` of `null` is a **FAIL**. pHash never short-circuits.
+- **Monotone-or-fail best-of-N**: `best_iteration` is the script's choice
+  among iterations that are **both** `built==true` **and** `gate_passed==true`;
+  if none qualify ⇒ `needs-human` (recorded). The caller's `best_iteration`
+  is ignored.
+- **Negative-control voids judge (bound to the shipped divergent twin)**:
+  `judge.negative_control` MUST be the structured object
+  `{stimulus_source_hash, divergent_pair, rejected, differences}` whose
+  `stimulus_source_hash` equals the **source-tree hash of the shipped
+  `assets/calibration/swiftui-twin-divergent`** recomputed by the grader,
+  with `rejected === true`, a non-empty structured `differences`, and
+  `judge.framing === "forced-difference-3"`. The legacy bare
+  `negative_control:"passed"` string is **rejected as unbound**. Any
+  deviation ⇒ any `verdict:"YES"` is **VOID** ⇒ cannot be `converged`
+  (downgraded to `needs-human`, recorded `negative_control: failed`,
+  `reason: negative-control-unbound`, exit 3).
+- **Calibration provenance (gate ⇐ floor; twin source identity; floor ⇐
+  sanity envelope)**: the grader asserts
+  `calibration.json.schema == "h5-to-swiftui/calibration@1"`; **recomputes**
+  the structured gate from `floor` and rejects a deviating `gate`
+  (`gate-floor-mismatch`, exit 1 — binds the gate TO the floor); recomputes
+  the bundled `h5-twin`/`swiftui-twin` **source-file** tree hashes from the
+  shipped assets and rejects a mismatching `calibration_source`
+  (`calibration-twin-mismatch`, exit 1 — binds the twin source IDENTITY, not
+  the floor value); and asserts the `floor` *value* satisfies
+  `calibrate-render.mjs`'s own sanity envelope via the shared
+  `scripts/_calib-consts.mjs` (`floor-implausible`, exit 1 — a floor
+  calibrate-render could not have emitted is rejected, killing the
+  absurd-floor attack). **Residual:** a `floor` *within* that envelope yet
+  looser than the true measured floor is trusted — the grader cannot
+  re-render the bundled twins to re-measure it (named residual (2) under
+  "Trust model & residual").
+- **Build accounting**: a present `blocked.json` for the component, or no
+  built+gate-passing iteration ⇒ `blocked`/`needs-human`, **never**
+  `converged`.
+
+**Enforced elsewhere / by process (NOT by `evaluate-convergence.mjs`):**
+
+- **Idiomatic lint** (Stage 4): a component whose layout is predominantly
+  `.position()`/`.offset()` absolute pinning is rejected at rewrite time —
+  pixel-pushed WebView-in-SwiftUI, not a native rewrite.
+- **Whole-assembled-screen trend check — Stage-7 manual cross-check, NOT an
+  automated Stage-5 guard.** No executable component diffs the assembled
+  screen during the loop, so it is **not** advertised as active automation.
+  After assembly (Stage 7) a human / separate verification pass compares the
+  assembled-screen capture vs the reference so per-component `converged`
+  cannot mask a broken composition. This is a documented **known
+  limitation**: until that Stage-7 check runs, per-component verdicts are
+  authoritative only at component granularity.
+- **Determinism**: artifact header pins sim/browser/model/seed (passed
+  through from `calibration.json`); the dry-run runs twice and must yield the
+  **same verdict** (not same pixels).
+
+## `pixel-diff.mjs` output schema (`h5-to-swiftui/diff@1`)
+
+`phash_hamming` is raw data; `phash_fast_candidate` is necessary-not-
+sufficient (NOT a converged signal — there is **no** `phash_converged`
+field). `iou` is `null` unless `--gen-bbox-map` supplied the generated bbox
+(a `null` iou is a gate FAIL, never an assumed 1.0).
+`inter_component_spacing_delta_pt` is `null` (with an explanatory
+`inter_component_spacing_delta_note`) when generated positions are unknown —
+never fabricated zeros.

+ *
+ *   `calibrate-render.mjs` ALREADY refuses to EMIT a `floor` that fails its

+ *       floor, not the 0.995 same-renderer regression value §1.1 warns
+ *       against). An honest calibrate-render run NEVER emits
+ *       floor.ssim_nontext < 0.95.
+ *
+ *   - TEXT_IOU_MIN = 0.9
+ *       Source: `calibrate-render.mjs` `const TEXT_IOU_MIN = 0.9;` (the
+ *       text_iou sanity floor it enforces *when text_iou is non-null*;
+ *       skipped when null because no bbox map exists at calibration time)
+ *       and `references/render-equivalence-calibration.md` §"Sanity bound"
+ *       (`text_iou ≥ 0.9`). An honest calibrate-render run NEVER emits a

+ *
+ *   - deltaE_p95: there is DELIBERATELY no shared maximum here.
+ *       `calibrate-render.mjs`'s sanity bound (its `ssimFails`/`textIouFails`

+/**
+ * Validate a `calibration.json` `floor` against the SAME sanity envelope
+ * `calibrate-render.mjs` enforces before it is willing to EMIT a
+ * `calibration.json` (vs writing `blocked.json`).
+ *
+ * Returns { ok:true } or { ok:false, reasons:[...] }. Pure; no I/O.
+ *
+ * What is asserted (all derived from calibrate-render's own behavior):
+ *   1. ssim_nontext is a finite number in [0,1] AND ≥ SSIM_NONTEXT_MIN.
+ *      (calibrate-render writes blocked.json, not calibration.json, when
+ *       ssim_nontext < SSIM_NONTEXT_MIN — so a real run never emits below it.)
+ *   2. deltaE_p95 is a finite number ≥ 0. (A CIEDE2000 ΔE is a non-negative
+ *      real; calibrate-render imposes no UPPER deltaE bound, so neither does
+ *      the grader — only metric validity, not a lenient tolerance.)
+ *   3. text_iou is null OR a finite number in [0,1]; when non-null it must be
+ *      ≥ TEXT_IOU_MIN (calibrate-render's textIouFails gate, skipped on null).
+ *
+ * A `floor` failing ANY of these could not have been produced by an honest
+ * `calibrate-render.mjs` run (it would have written blocked.json), so the
+ * grader rejects it as `floor-implausible` rather than recomputing a gate
+ * from a fabricated floor.
