-  open-question tally by gate. Run first (step 0) by every workspace-operating
-  `rite-*` skill so the model orients deterministically instead of re-deriving
-  state from raw Markdown.
-- `devrites-engine progress`: progress footer and counterpart to the initial

-  `state.md`, with zero model drift) the `── rite-<phase> ──` header rule, the **slice
-  meter** (`Slice 3/5  ██████░░░░  <last-built> ✓`, or `Slices 5/5  ██████████  ✅ ALL
-  BUILT` at completion), and the **flow ribbon** (`spec ✓ define ✓ build ◉ … ship ○`).
-  The meter answers "how many slices left"; the `✅ ALL BUILT` marker answers "is the
-  build done". The skill prints its own result, next step, and hygiene lines beneath
-  it. Read-only; silent (exit 0) when there is no active workspace. Not for the workspace-less
-  utilities (`/rite-prototype`, `/rite-zoom-out`, `/rite-pressure-test`, `/rite-handoff`,
-  the `/rite` menu). They have no phase/slice state to render.
-- `reference/reply-contract.md`: the shared user-facing completion reply contract. It
-  standardizes the compact chat lines printed below `devrites-engine progress` for success,
-  awaiting-human, stopped/blocked, GO, NO-GO, and shipped states. The chat reply is a
-  status summary; durable detail stays in the workspace artifacts.
-- `reference/model-tiers.md`: the dispatch-by-task-shape contract (extraction / generation /
-  ceiling). A skill names a **tier** by the shape of the work and never hardcodes a model name;
-  reviewers are ceiling on purpose. Carries the degradation rule for harnesses that cannot pick
-  models per agent. Loaded on demand by any skill that dispatches subagents.

-  semantic readiness contract (→ `/rite-upgrade`), `0` ready.
-- `devrites-engine evidence-fresh`: evidence-freshness gate for `/rite-seal`. Exits `3`
-  when any file in `touched-files.md` is newer than `evidence.md` /

-  new workspaces use `AC-###`, while legacy archives may still carry old `[ACn]`
-  ids. Used by `/rite-seal` and by the outcome grader.

+# Candidate integrity
+
+This file owns the Build-to-Ship lifecycle for one content-bound candidate. The
+exact `touched-files.md` and binding grammar remain in
+[`workspace-artifact-schema.md`](workspace-artifact-schema.md); phase skills link
+here and state only their phase action.
+
+`devrites-engine check candidate <slug>` is the only candidate hash authority.
+Record its exact digest with this unindented standalone line:
+
+```text
+Candidate SHA-256: <64 lowercase hex>
+```
+
+The line appears exactly once in `evidence.md`, `review.md`, and `seal.md`, and
+exactly once in `browser-evidence.md` when that file exists. A missing,
+duplicate, malformed, or mismatched binding stops the lifecycle.
+
+## Lifecycle
+
+- **Build maintains** the authoritative manifest from each green slice's actual
+  scoped diff. It may change until Polish closes the candidate.
+- **Prove binds** approved real proof to one digest. Check the candidate before
+  commands and again after them; the digest must be identical and proof must not
+  mutate candidate sources. Record it in evidence and browser evidence when present.
+- **Polish closes** the candidate only after every code/UI correction, capability
+  fold, optional design-memory update, and durable ADR promotion. Update the
+  manifest for every such path; a digest change requires affected real re-proof
+  and refreshed evidence/browser bindings before Review.
+- **Review binds** all immutable reviewers and `review.md` to the same closed
+  digest. A candidate correction updates the manifest and returns through affected
+  Prove, then a fresh Review.
+- **Seal binds** `seal.md` to that reviewed digest, rechecks every binding, then
+  runs `devrites-engine check seal <slug>`. A correction returns through Prove and
+  Review before Seal runs again.
+- **Ship is candidate-read-only.** It may update workspace ship/state/archive
+  bookkeeping, but any project or manifest mutation returns through Prove,
+  Review, and Seal. Git integrity uses the canonical digest; it never implements
+  another candidate hash.
+
+## Existing workspaces
+
+An older unfinished workspace must refresh the manifest and rerun real proof before
+continuing. Upgrade routes a released-workspace candidate defect to Prove only after its
+read-only assessment cites the current contract and exact defect. Prove may refresh from
+unambiguous legacy scope and currently observed project bytes, then writes fresh bindings.
+Never synthesize a historical pass or infer old bytes. There is no legacy fallback.
+
+Normal Polish rollups and re-proof, Review, and Seal follow when their current gates
+apply. Upgrade re-audits afterward; a failed candidate, seal, or readiness check remains
+a gap. Exact manifest and binding grammar stays in the workspace schema above.

-- `gate-candidate`: a conditional produced zero surviving findings in its last 10+
-  dispatches. Record a skip with `gated: zero surviving findings in <N> dispatches`.

-gated. After reconciliation, record each dispatched reviewer's surviving
-Critical+Important count:
-
-```bash

-```
-
-## Reviewer packet
-
-Create `agent-packet/v1` per `standards/agents.md`. In addition to the common fields:
-
-```yaml
-objective: Audit the active feature on <axis>; derive expected behavior independently.
-inputs:
-  - path: .devrites/work/<slug>/spec.md
-    purpose: acceptance contract
-  - path: .devrites/work/<slug>/touched-files.md
-    purpose: feature boundary
-  - path: <scratch_root>/candidate.diff
-    purpose: reviewed candidate
-scope:
-  in: [<axis-specific workspace paths>, <touched source/test paths>]
-  out: [author reasoning, sibling findings, unrelated repository debt]
-  allowed_repo_writes: []
-```
-
-Tell the role to apply its documented discipline and return `payload.type:
-review-findings`, one finding per line, labeled Critical / Important / Suggestion /
-Nit / FYI and anchored to `file:line` plus the spec criterion or observed command.
-The exact result `CANNOT-VERIFY: <requirement> — <why>` is never a pass.
-
-Before dispatching `devrites-devex-reviewer` in measured mode, the root runs the
-documented quickstart in an isolated clean checkout and adds immutable commands,
-timings, output, candidate identity, and log hashes to the packet. Before
-dispatching `devrites-performance-reviewer`, the root supplies the immutable diff
-and any already-authorized measurement artifacts. Reviewers validate these inputs;
-their read-only identity never executes quickstarts, builds, browser runs, or
-assignment-only shell setup.
-
-Dispatch rules:
-
-- Fresh-context dispatch through the capability ladder; one packet per reviewer.
-- No author context, sibling findings, severity coaching, or plan justification.
-- Feature scope is `touched-files.md` plus the frozen diff.
-- Await every required batch before any write or verdict. Never background/detach.
-
-## Account for every reviewer
-
-Log exact agent names as decisions are made:
-
-```bash
-devrites-engine footprint log <slug> reviewer devrites-<x>-reviewer
-devrites-engine footprint log <slug> skip devrites-<x>-reviewer
-devrites-engine footprint roster <slug>
-```
-
-`roster` rc=3 means an unaccounted reviewer: dispatch or record why it does not apply.
-rc=1 means an always-on skip; this is valid only for an unchanged-candidate
-carry-forward. A required reviewer that cannot be dispatched blocks the phase.
-
-## Reconciliation
-
-1. Preserve each valid report verbatim under `## <axis>` in `review.md`/`seal.md`.
-2. Surface contradictions explicitly; the root decides them.
-3. Keep the shared five-label scale. The simplifier's Suggestion/Nit/FYI subset is valid.
-4. Resolve every `CANNOT-VERIFY` before the gate or retain it as a gap.
-5. Add a deduped roll-up only after the verbatim record. Mark matching `file:line`
-   findings from two or more axes as consensus; do not hide lone findings.
-6. Apply the caller's gate; do not invent a composite score.
-
-Every panel reviewer runs at the ceiling or inherited tier. If the named role is
-unavailable, use the universal ladder. If no fresh-agent rung is available, stop for
-HITL; never execute the reviewer in the root context.

+## Dispatch contract
+
+1. Freeze one candidate; give each reviewer the same spec, paths, and diff.
+   Parallelize only when writes/state/locks/tool sessions/scarce resources
+   (ports/processes/quotas/FDs/browsers/MCP) are compatible. Frozen read-only
+   usually is; pressure requires batches or serial work.
+2. Ask for each exact named agent in fresh context; omit native syntax and
+   `agent_type`/`task_name`/`fork_turns` from the instruction.
+3. Wait for all applicable results before reconciling.
+4. Apply [`agents.md` § Result admission](standards/agents.md#result-admission)
+   and dedupe by evidence/root cause. Account for all seven in
+   `review.md`/`seal.md`: `Outcome:` plus admitted account, or
+   `Not-applicable: <inspected-scope reason>`. Spec/Code may cite unchanged
+   `review.md`; persist no dispatch telemetry.
+5. Missing profile, null/failure, or malformed output is a `gap`; never
+   infer approval or substitute inline review.
+
+On exhaustion/contention: stop spawning; collect running results; batch/serialize.
+Never restart/orphan the cohort or infer approval.
+
+Reviewers are read-only; accounts store evidence, never telemetry.
