-Before delivery, check for adverbs, passive voice, inanimate actors, vague
-claims, throat-clearing, binary contrasts, meta-joiners, em dashes, and repeated
-rhythm. Use [examples](references/examples.md) to calibrate edits.
-
-Completion: the assigned prose is direct, specific, constraint-equivalent,
-and reviewed against the relevant references; any deliberate voice tradeoff is
-recorded. Return one outcome from `completed`, `blocked`, `needs_root_input`, or
-`failed` with changed paths, proof, and remaining risk. Root records the result
-through `holycodex-agent assignment result`; do not mutate global Intent
-lifecycle or perform Git/VCS.
