 - **ISSUE always**: `**Severity**: HIGH` or `CRITICAL`, or a missing/unparseable severity.
 - **Safety exemption is content-based** (it bypasses only this severity damper, never the §6B.4 provenance gate): a LOW or POSSIBLE finding is still filed when its file path / title / body matches the security/billing keyword set — a LOW finding additionally needs `**Confidence**: CONFIRMED`, so LOW LIKELY/POSSIBLE with a keyword is a NOTE (`security|auth|authz|authn|billing|payment|stripe|charge|invoice|injection|xss|csrf|ssrf|idor|secret(s)|credential(s)|permission(s)|sql|token|password|redact`, whole words, `_`/`-`/`/` separate words — so `auth_service` matches but `author`/`tokenizer` do not), or when it came from a dedicated, signal-selected domain agent (Auth, Billing, Concurrency, Database) AND is MEDIUM — a domain agent rescues MEDIUM only, and a LOW finding stays a NOTE whichever reviewer raised it, CONFIRMED or not. **Origin from the always-on General Security & Quality agent alone does NOT exempt a finding**: that agent runs on every PR, so origin-based exemption would file nearly every LOW note it raises.
-- **Review-finding lineage** (the PR's linked issue `MERGE_ISSUE` carries the `review-finding` label, any priority — this PR is itself a fix for a finding): only MEDIUM findings that are CONFIRMED, or LIKELY and safety-exempt, become issues; LOW and POSSIBLE are always NOTEs. A fix for a finding must not mint a new generation of findings.
+- **Review-finding lineage** (the PR's linked issue `MERGE_ISSUE` carries the `review-finding` label, any priority — this PR is itself a fix for a finding): only MEDIUM findings that are CONFIRMED, or LIKELY and safety-exempt, become issues; LOW and POSSIBLE are always NOTEs. A fix for a finding must not mint a new generation of findings. **Fix-efficacy exemption** <!-- Added: forge#3693 -->: a MEDIUM finding that says the linked issue is not fixed or that the PR re-introduces its defect (`**Fix efficacy**: fails|regresses` in the finding body, extracted as `FINDING_FIX_EFFICACY`) is never damped: the classifier returns `ISSUE fix-efficacy-<value>` under any lineage and confidence (CONFIRMED in-PR findings still get `INPR_FIX`). The exemption is opt-in on the tag, never on keywords; untagged MEDIUM findings keep the damping above.
 - **Otherwise**: `**Severity**: LOW`, or `**Confidence**: POSSIBLE` below HIGH, is a NOTE unless safety-exempt (LOW: keyword AND CONFIRMED; MEDIUM: keyword at any confidence, or a domain agent); everything else (MEDIUM CONFIRMED/LIKELY) is an ISSUE.
 - **Cross-head re-flag** <!-- Added: forge#3641 -->: a finding that an earlier head's review already posted, or that an earlier `FORGE:NOTE_DISPOSITION` list recorded, is not filed or noted a second time after its line moved. The caller builds a prior-findings TSV (file, line-start, line-end, title, prior-disposition, issue#) from trusted prior-head reviewer comments and trusted `FORGE:NOTE_DISPOSITION` records with a different `reviewed_sha=` (see `prior_findings_tsv`) and passes it as `--prior-findings`. A finding re-flags a row when it is the same file AND (line IoU >= 0.6 after a best-effort `git diff` hunk-offset shift AND >= 1 shared non-stopword title token, OR >= 3 shared title tokens of which >= 2 are non-stopword; generic stopwords such as `the`, `with`, `before`, `write` never count as topical similarity) and becomes `NOTE reflag-filed #N` (the prior row's issue is still open) or `NOTE reflag-note`. Never demoted: HIGH/CRITICAL and unparseable severity (they keep blocking via §7B), and any row whose linked issue is closed (a regressed defect is classified normally). Unlinked prior rows are passed as `note` (recorded NOTE_DISPOSITION) or `unknown` (reviewer-body finding whose linkage failed; never demotes a MEDIUM CONFIRMED/LIKELY re-flag); an unreadable source only shrinks the TSV, it never blocks.
+- **Per-review cap** <!-- Added: forge#3642 -->: after every finding is classified (re-flag, contract-scope and in-PR gates included), `scripts/cap-findings.sh` keeps at most `review.max_filed_findings` ISSUE dispositions (default 2; 1 under `review-finding` lineage, where every filed HIGH/CRITICAL consumes that budget). It ranks ISSUE rows by severity, then confidence, then safety-domain agent (Security, Auth, Billing, Concurrency, Database first), then input order; an unparseable severity or confidence ranks as MEDIUM/LIKELY and is capped like any other. The overflow becomes `NOTE capped`: listed in the NOTE list and counted in `notes_capped`, never filed and never dropped. **HIGH/CRITICAL are never capped**: they always file and still block via §7B. `ISSUE fix-efficacy-*` rows (the never-damped fix-efficacy exemption) are never capped either and, like HIGH, consume the review-finding lineage budget. NOTE and `INPR_FIX` rows never consume the cap. `review.max_filed_findings: 0` is valid; a non-numeric or negative value falls back to the default.
 - **Contract-declared scope** <!-- Added: forge#3447 -->: the trusted, latest FORGE:CONTRACT of `MERGE_ISSUE` lists out-of-scope items as `deferred → #N`, `not-affected:` or `accepted-risk:` (parsed by `scripts/check-contract-scope.sh list`). A finding whose file equals, or sits under, a `deferred` item whose issue is verified becomes `NOTE contract-deferred #N` and is commented on that issue instead of being filed again. A finding under an `accepted-risk` item becomes `NOTE contract-accepted-risk`. A deferred issue is verified only when it is OPEN, is an issue (not a PR), is not `MERGE_ISSUE` itself, and its body carries `FORGE:DEFERRED_FROM: #<MERGE_ISSUE>` and the deferred path, and it is authored by a trusted author (`author_association` OWNER/MEMBER/COLLABORATOR, or `user.type` Bot); an unverified item is dropped from the scope list. Never demoted: HIGH/CRITICAL, `not-affected` items (a contradicting finding means the contract was wrong), safety-exempt findings, findings on a file this PR changed, and anything when the contract is missing, untrusted or unparseable or the deferred issue is closed, unverified or unreadable.
