-a hunch.
-
-## Measure before claiming
-- Establish a number: a timing, a query count, a payload/bundle size, a render metric.
-- Compare against the budget (from `spec.md`) or the pre-change baseline.
-- No measurement → no performance claim, and usually no optimization.
-
-## What to look for (feature scope)
-- **Backend**: N+1 queries, missing indexes on new queries, unbounded result sets,
-  work done per-request that could be cached/batched, sync work that blocks.
-- **Frontend (Core Web Vitals)**: LCP (largest content paint), CLS (layout shift), INP
-  (interaction latency). Oversized images, render-blocking work, large bundles added,
-  unnecessary re-renders.
-- **General**: accidental quadratic loops, repeated work in hot paths, large allocations.
+Apply only when a stated budget or visible regression risk makes performance relevant.
+The canonical measurement, pitfall, optimization, and scope rules live in
+[`performance.md`](../../devrites-lib/reference/standards/performance.md); apply every
+one before filing a performance finding.
 
 The agent runs **Source mode** (static scan, findings tagged `potential` + the verify
 command) or **Measured mode** (real CWV numbers → a source-labeled scorecard). Baseline
 checks + measurement commands: [`performance-checklist.md`](performance-checklist.md).
 
-## Optimize responsibly
-- Fix the measured bottleneck, then **re-measure** to prove the win (before/after in
-  `evidence.md`). An optimization with no measured improvement is just added complexity.
-- Don't trade correctness or readability for a micro-win that doesn't move the metric.
-- Keep it in feature scope; record project-wide perf issues as follow-ups.

 ## Labels
 A perf issue that breaches a stated budget is **Important** or **Critical**; a
 speculative micro-optimization is a **Suggestion** at most.

-   instead of re-deriving state from raw Markdown:
-   ```bash

-   [ -f "$P" ] && bash "$P" || echo "(orientation preamble unavailable on this install — read state.md directly to orient)"
-   ```
-   Then read all artifacts: `brief.md`, `spec.md`, `plan.md`, `tasks.md`, `state.md`,
-   `decisions.md`, `assumptions.md`, `questions.md`, `drift.md`, `evidence.md`,
-   `browser-evidence.md`, `polish-report.md`, `review.md`, `design-brief.md` (if UI),
-   `devex.md` (if a developer-facing surface), `strategy.md` (if present), and the **final diff**. If a code-intelligence index is available
-   (codebase-memory-mcp first, cross-checked with codegraph + graphify, else standard methods LSP / Read/Grep/Glob — see `.claude/rules/tooling.md`), use it for
-   blast-radius checks on the final diff in step 5; context7 if available can confirm a current
-   external-API signature a reviewer flags.
-2. Check **acceptance criteria one by one** — [final-evidence](reference/final-evidence.md).
-   Each gets a checkbox + the evidence that proves it (or "unproven"). Verify each criterion
-   **independently against the evidence artifact** — the slice report or the build narrative is not
-   proof; the `devrites-spec-reviewer` + `devrites-test-analyst` fan-out in step 7 is the
-   independent cross-check (a verifier that never saw the optimistic narrative).
-3. Verify tests, build/typecheck/lint, and browser proof are present and green for the
-   scope. Re-run if cheap and in doubt. **For a UI feature with a `design-brief.md`**, read the
-   `## Visual Verdict` table in `browser-evidence.md`: a `FAIL` on an **acceptance-mapped**
-   criterion is an unmet acceptance criterion (NO-GO, per the severity gate), a declared-state
-   `FAIL` is **Important**, and a UI build whose brief exists but whose verdict is **absent** is an
-   Important evidence gap (the scorecard should have been emitted at browser-proof).
-4. Check unresolved **questions** and **drift** — any open item that changes product
-   behavior blocks. **Any `questions.md` entry with `gate: validating` and `status: open`
-   is a NO-GO regardless of behavior impact** (an open validating gate is merge-blocking by
-   definition); a slice marked `built (pending review)` is not done.
-4a. **Doubt coverage — every stood decision was independently doubted.** Run the deterministic
-   check, then judge it against `decisions.md`:
-   ```bash
-   DC=.claude/skills/devrites-lib/scripts/doubt-coverage.sh
-   [ -f "$DC" ] || DC="${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR:-}/../devrites-lib/scripts/doubt-coverage.sh"
-   [ -f "$DC" ] || DC=pack/.claude/skills/devrites-lib/scripts/doubt-coverage.sh
-   [ -f "$DC" ] && { bash "$DC" <slug>; echo "doubt-coverage rc=$?"; } || echo "(doubt-coverage gate unavailable — confirm by hand each stood decision carries a devrites-doubt verdict)"
-   ```
-   The script reads two records `/rite-build` writes — the `## Decisions stood` ledger in
-   `decisions.md` (each entry ends `— doubt: <accept | reject-resolved | MISSING>`) and the `doubt`
-   footprint. Read the exit code:
-   - **rc=3** — the ledger records a stood decision with `doubt: MISSING`: doubt was definitively
-     skipped for a decision on record. **Important**; **NO-GO** when that decision is irreversible-risk
-     (auth / public-API / migration). This is the per-slice skip the footprint count alone can't catch.
-   - **rc=1** — zero doubt dispatched across the build. A **prompt to verify, not a finding**: confirm
-     against the ledger — an every-slice-trivial feature (`- none`) is a valid pass; a stood triggering
-     decision (boundary / data-model / auth / public-API / migration / branching) with no verdict is
-     the finding, same severity as rc=3.
-   - **rc=0** — covered, or not assessable (an inline build logs no dispatch — verify the ledger's
-     verdicts by hand).
-   Either way, walk the `## Decisions stood` ledger yourself: severity rides the unverified
-   **decision**, never the exit code alone.
-5. Check **security, data, migration, rollback** risk —
-   [risk-and-rollback](reference/risk-and-rollback.md). If `strategy.md` exists (from

-   that no **Non-goal / deferred item crept into the diff** (scope creep) — either is a finding
-   (an unmitigated top risk or smuggled-in out-of-scope work).
-   - **Principles** (`principles.md`): score the final diff against each declared invariant in
-     `.devrites/principles.md`. A violation with no matching, human-approved exception in the
-     register is a **Critical** finding and a NO-GO; an exception that is stale (past its review
-     trigger) or wider than its stated scope is itself a finding. No file / no principles → skip.
-   - **Observability** (`observability.md`): if the diff added a runtime surface (endpoint,
-     job, integration, user flow, error path), a feature shipping with no way to debug it in
-     prod is an **Important** finding, not a pass — `evidence.md` should show telemetry observed
-     to emit (`/rite-prove` step 5b).
-   - **Developer experience** (`developer-experience.md`): if the diff ships a developer-facing
-     surface, reconcile `devex.md` (the `/rite-vet` predicted scorecard vs the `/rite-prove`
-     measured one — the boomerang). A broken public dev contract (a documented command that errors,
-     a getting-started flow that can't complete) or an unexplained measured DX regression is
-     **Important** — **Critical** on a frozen public surface (`principles.md`). No surface → skip.
-   - **Removal / migration** (`deprecation.md`): if the diff deletes or migrates code, an API,
-     or data, confirm it followed expand→contract, proved the old path unused before removing it,
-     and carries a rollback for every destructive step. A surprise deletion or a one-shot
-     breaking migration is a finding (and trips the irreversible-risk gate, `afk-hitl.md`).
-6. Check **frontend polish** if UI is involved (states, a11y, responsive, design-system,
-   browser evidence).
-7. **Independent review** — seal is the final gate, not a re-run of `/rite-review`.
-   It **always re-spawns** the axes `/rite-review` did not cover: `devrites-test-analyst`,
-   `devrites-security-auditor`, `devrites-performance-reviewer`, and
-   `devrites-frontend-reviewer` (UI). It **only re-runs the Spec and Code-review axes**
-   (`devrites-spec-reviewer`, `devrites-code-reviewer`) when the diff changed since
-   `/rite-review` ran (compare against `review.md`); if the diff is unchanged, carry
-   review's verdicts on those axes forward rather than re-litigating them.
-   If subagents are available, fan out to the chosen DevRites
-   reviewers (`.claude/agents/devrites-*`) **in parallel** (one `Task` block,
-   multiple tool calls; see `.claude/rules/agents.md` — "Run independent
-   reviewers in parallel", and [`parallel-dispatch.md`](../devrites-lib/reference/parallel-dispatch.md)
-   for the full dispatch shape + reconciliation procedure):
-   `devrites-spec-reviewer` (does the diff implement
-   the spec?), `devrites-test-analyst` (do the tests prove acceptance?),
-   `devrites-code-reviewer`, `devrites-frontend-reviewer` (UI features),
-   `devrites-security-auditor` (input/auth/data/integrations),
-   `devrites-performance-reviewer` (perf-relevant), and `devrites-devex-reviewer`
-   (developer-facing surface — measure mode: grade the measured DX scorecard and reconcile
-   the boomerang against the `/rite-vet` prediction). Give each the workspace
-   path + diff *without the author's reasoning*. If subagents are unavailable,
-   run the equivalent reviews sequentially yourself.
-   The reviewer **AGENTS** here (fresh context, no author reasoning) are the seal
-   GATE; `devrites-audit` is the inline single-axis pass run during build/polish.
-   The two paths are intentional, not divergent — the inline audit catches issues
-   early; the fresh-context agents are the independent gate before ship.
-   **Footprint:** for each reviewer you dispatch here, append a record —
-   `bash "$FP" log <slug> reviewer <name>` (resolve `$FP` to
-   `.claude/skills/devrites-lib/scripts/footprint.sh` as in `/rite-build`) — so the seal can
-   report the run's fan-out.
-7a. **Reconcile findings — confidence over volume.** Band each reviewer finding by confidence
-   (1–10); a low-confidence (≤4) finding that can't be verified against the diff is **suppressed**
-   to a `Suppressed (low-confidence): n` line, not a blocker. Every Critical/Important must cite
-   the `file:line` (or spec line) that proves it. Surface genuine cross-reviewer disagreement
-   **explicitly** rather than averaging it away, and don't let a pile of low-confidence nits
-   inflate the verdict — the gate is `Critical == 0` + acceptance + drift, not "few findings".
-   (A seal that fires noise teaches the next one to be ignored.)
-8. Decide GO / NO-GO — [go-no-go](reference/go-no-go.md) — and write `seal.md`. Then render the
-   **fan-out footprint** into `seal.md` and the output — deterministic run-weight (subagents
-   dispatched · slices · wall-clock), **never a token or dollar figure** (DevRites can't
-   truthfully source one):
-   ```bash
-   FP=.claude/skills/devrites-lib/scripts/footprint.sh
-   [ -f "$FP" ] || FP="${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR:-}/../devrites-lib/scripts/footprint.sh"
-   [ -f "$FP" ] || FP=pack/.claude/skills/devrites-lib/scripts/footprint.sh
-   [ -f "$FP" ] && bash "$FP" render <slug> || true
-   ```
-   Also emit a machine-readable verdict block into `seal.md` (so `/rite-autocomplete` can gate
-   without parsing prose):
-   ```json
-   { "feature": "<slug>", "verdict": "GO | NO-GO | CONDITIONAL-GO", "criticals": 0, "important": 0,
-     "acceptance": "<proven>/<total>", "test_integrity": "ok | weakened", "mutation": "<score | n/a>",
-     "blockers": ["<one line each, empty on GO>"] }
-   ```
-9. **On GO only — record proven conventions** to the local ledger
-   (`.devrites/conventions.md`) so later slices stop re-deriving this project's idioms:
-   the durable, *evidence-proven* commands / idioms / placement / gotchas this feature
-   established. Evidence-gated like the seal itself; the band is earned, not guessed; the
-   step degrades gracefully when unavailable. Full contract + command:
-   [conventions-ledger](reference/conventions-ledger.md). (Skip entirely on NO-GO.)
-9a. **On GO only — auto-capture learnings** (`.devrites/learnings.md`). Learning is automatic, not a
-   command anyone must remember: append this feature's durable signal so the **next** feature's
-   review starts warmer — (a) any reviewer finding the gate **dismissed as intentional here** (a
-   "don't re-flag X in this project" class, tag `dismiss`); (b) a recurring correction or dead-end
-   worth not repeating (tag `note`). The review skills load this ledger **before** they fan out, so a
-   dismissed-finding class stops recurring. It is an untrusted prior — live code always overrides
-   (`.claude/rules/security.md`). Promotion of a recurring lesson to a *project rule* stays the
-   human's call (`/rite-learn` — propose, don't impose). Skip on NO-GO.
-   ```bash
-   L=.claude/skills/devrites-lib/scripts/learnings.sh

+```
+If outside voice is `available`, ask the same artifacts/diff second opinion;

+If `.devrites/extensions/` exists, read each valid extension's `component.yaml` for `checks:
+at: seal` entries and record every declared check's outcome (or skip justification) in `seal.md`
+— the severity gate treats an unaddressed one as Important.
+For developer-facing surfaces, compare `devex.md` predicted TTHW against the measured proof path and
+record the boomerang result.
