 Read `STRUCTURED_FINDINGS`, `FINDINGS_KEPT`, `FINDINGS_DROPPED_STALE`, `FINDINGS_PREEXISTING` and `NOTES_DEMOTED_NO_SCENARIO` for the record and summary. The caller's part of 6A: add the Phase 2.5 `INTEG-N` findings no reviewer covered (CONFIRMED HIGH, so ISSUE, filed in 6C); findings come only from `FINDING:` markers, never from free text. If `AGENTS_WITHOUT_BLOCK` is non-empty those agents are undelivered: re-dispatch them once (Phase 4 rule), else take the degraded-panel path; `CLEAN_STRUCTURED` is withheld while it is non-empty. On `CLEAN_STRUCTURED=true` and no `INTEG-N` the review is clean: skip to Phase 7. A finding that somehow has no marker is classified with `classify-finding.sh --unstructured` (empty or unparseable severity gives `NOTE unstructured`, never ISSUE). **Pre-existing route**: a pre-existing finding (MEDIUM or lower) is never filed as `review-finding`/`needs-validation` nor linked to this PR (it stays out of findings-per-PR and the amplification ratio); it still passes the §6B.5 classifier, is listed once in the summary, and at most 3 per review (highest severity first) are filed with the `pre-existing` label plus `priority:*`, citing this PR (`preexisting_filed`, not `findings_filed`).

 Operator-facing notes for behavior changes that need action or awareness. Newest first.
 
+## Core work-on: per-phase comments (GitHub as the knowledge graph)
+
+The core builder now writes three markdown stage notes with fixed heading templates (`.forge-lean/investigation.md`, `plan.md`, `implementation.md`) next to the machine-readable `result.json`. The engine posts each as its own comment, live while the builder session runs (the CLI call is now asynchronous; a file is posted once its mtime is stable for 2 s) and the rest in order right after the session, before review: `FORGE:INVESTIGATION` (`## Investigation Report`, also carries the `FORGE:VALIDATE` alias marker), `FORGE:PLAN` (`## Implementation Plan`), `FORGE:IMPLEMENTATION` (`## Implementation Complete`, with branch and files changed computed by the engine), then `FORGE:REVIEW` (`## Review`: fixes the issue yes/no with evidence, regression check with what was checked, notes). A missing or blank file is rendered from the `result.json` fields ("not reported" for gaps); builder-written `<!-- FORGE:` markers are stripped and each comment is capped at 60k characters. At the end (merged, invalid or needs-human) one `FORGE:TRAJECTORY` comment (`## Pipeline Trajectory`, also carrying the `FORGE:WORK-ON` alias marker) replaces the old register comment: phase table, decisions, anomalies, cost, tokens, wall time. The PR body shows the root cause, the deliverables table and the verification. No extra model sessions.

+Action: none.

 ## v1.22: core work-on and orchestrate (GitHub as register)
 
 A blind A/B showed plain Claude Code fixes issues at equal quality for about 1/10 the cost of the multi-phase pipeline, so ForgeDock is reduced to a lean core.
