Each is about what the main thread does on its own turn — what it fetches, asks, cites, reports and retries — so a skill read on demand would arrive after the act. What did not fit went to the skill that owns it: the 90-day date on an external fact (docs-writer, confidence-check), the audit-steering detail (security-scan, red-team). Before that, P07a: 16214 → 16470 (+256): the audit step no longer re-runs every lane after every fix — only a critical/high fix, or one on a critical path, does, a lesser one is re-checked by the lane that raised it, a low finding never starts a round, three rounds with medium+ open then ask — and the DoD's "nothing deferred" says what it means (medium+ fixed, tracked or user-accepted, the lows to the user as one list). Field transcripts of four projects showed main threads reading the old two lines as "fix every low and audit everything again"; both are where every session reads them, because the loop is run by the main thread, not by a skill. Before that, P05: 15637 → 16214 (+577): "Short never costs meaning" (a short reply keeps every negation, condition and number; code, paths and errors verbatim; point to path:line instead of restating; full sentences for warnings, irreversible steps, questions and persisted text), principle 2's "never cut" list (validation at a trust boundary, data-loss error handling, security, accessibility, what was asked) and a re-read-after-compaction clause. All three are about how every reply is written, so a skill read on demand would arrive after the reply. evals/cases/terse-fidelity measures the first. Before that, P02: 15570 → 15637 (+67): "Untrusted content" names the text a hook injects from teammates (the team board) as data; the hook now labels it the same way. Before that, P01: 15429 → 15570 (+141): "No deferral" names the recorded, user-accepted bypass (BYPASSED line, ADR Bypassed entry, accepted finding) as the user's decision, so the rule stops contradicting confidence-check, adr and crew-code-review. Before that, 3.5: 14971 → 15429 (+458): §4.7 (a staged lockfile needs an audit record of that lockfile diff, +275 with the §4.4–§4.7 range) and the quality line (+183): the DoD reads `## Stack` → `Quality analysis:` instead of six "(if SonarQube is in use)" clauses, which a project with no server read as false every time (0 analyses in its first 8 days, 0 audits against 21 lockfile commits). Both have to be where every session reads them: the gate refuses a commit, and the refusal must not be a surprise.
