  - \`iterate_status\` — summarize the current run: mode, round, fixes applied, architectural remaining, decision-log size, checkpoint presence, and whether the run was interrupted (a checkpoint on disk with no newer decision-log activity means the previous run was interrupted and can be resumed)
23
23
  - \`iterate_history\` — inspect the runtime state in detail: decision-log entries and applied fixes (optionally scoped to a round or a fixed file)
24
24
  - \`iterate_prune\` — remove stale runtime artifacts (\`.iterate/\` entries). Defaults to a read-only dry-run that reports what WOULD be removed; pass \`dryRun:false\` to actually prune.
25
- - \`iterate_transcript\` — runtime observatory file (\`.iterate/transcript.json\`). \`read\` fetches the persisted manifest including any steering \`nudge\` for this run's reviewers; \`capture\` (call once after the final report) persists the per-reviewer threads, convergence trend, findings, fixes, checkpoint, and timeline so the client observatory panel reflects the run; \`nudge\` sets/clears steering text the next round's reviewers read. Purely local, never touches source files.

27

  - \`iterate_quality_gate\` — quality certificate: \`read\` loads the persisted dimension convergence rates / verification pass rate / PASS-FAIL status; \`compute\` recomputes a fresh snapshot from this round's findings + validation results (supply \`findingsByRound\` for real convergence) and persists it to \`.iterate/quality-gate.json\`; \`clear\` removes the persisted certificate to reset a stale gate before a fresh iteration.
28

  - \`iterate_defense_events\` — defense event stream (\`.iterate/defense-events.json\`): \`list\`/\`counts\` review precondition failures, rollbacks, invariant violations, and falsified assumptions; \`record\` logs a new event when a defense fires.

  Key rules for normal mode:
916
+ - **Preflight before ANY work**: read \`validation.commands\` via \`iterate_config({})\` and abort with the actionable message when it is empty/missing (it points at \`iterate_config({operation:"write"...})\`) — unless the caller explicitly passed \`args.unverified === true\`. An unverified run is labelled everywhere (log line, \`unverified:true\`/\`zeroValidation:true\` in the return, \`*_unverified\` stoppedReason). "No commands configured" must NEVER read as a green, converged run.
588
917
  - Fixers are the ONLY agents allowed to write files, and they must go through \`iterate_fix\` — never edit files directly. That is what gives every change a backup, a diff, and a rollback path. Reviewers read only. Architectural findings are reported, never auto-fixed.
589
918
  - Aggregate the current round deterministically (\`report.findings\`) before fixing, so fixes act on deduped/filtered/sorted findings.
590
919
  - **Schema validation & retry**: when \`reviewer.output_schema_validation\` is on (default), retry the round's reviewers up to 2 times (3 attempts total) when \`aggregate\` reports \`schemaValidation\` valid=false for it, then re-aggregate. Never forward schema-invalid findings into \`iterate_fix\`. If the output is still schema-invalid after the 3rd attempt — or every reviewer subagent failed outright (no usable output at all) — the round is INCONCLUSIVE: \`break\` the loop, log a \`round_failed\` entry, set \`schemaFailed = true\`, and report \`stoppedReason:"schema_invalid"\`/\`"no_usable_reviewer_output"\`. Never report an inconclusive round as a clean convergence, and keep the checkpoint so the run can be resumed after the reviewer configuration is fixed.
591
920
  - Apply atomic fixes **per file**: one fixer agent handles all findings for a given file serially (so the same file is never edited concurrently); different files are fixed in parallel.
592
- - **Resume**: load the checkpoint first; if a previous run left one, continue from \`checkpoint.round + 1\` (its \`fixedCount\` and deduped \`findings\` are carried forward).
593
- - **Validate after every round** of fixes; on ANY validation failure, roll back the round's fixes via \`iterate_rollback\` and stop (the checkpoint is left in place so the run can be resumed). EXCEPTION: \`iterate_validate\` returning \`allowed:false\` means the command is simply not in \`validation.commands\` — a config gap, not broken code. In that case abort WITHOUT rolling back the round's fixes and surface the missing command + file so the user can fix the trust list.
594
- - **Checkpoint after every round**; clear it only when the iteration completes cleanly.
595
- - Stop when a round produces nothing to fix (converged), maxReviewRounds is reached, validation aborts the run, or a round yields no usable reviewer output (\`stoppedReason:"schema_invalid"\`).
921
+ - **Resume**: read the checkpoint with \`operation:"resume"\` (the tool loads it, bumps \`resumeCount\` AND persists it back — that is what keeps a run interrupted again before its first save counted; never add +1 yourself on top of the tool's bump); fall back to a plain \`operation:"load"\` only when there is no checkpoint to resume. If a previous run left one, continue from \`checkpoint.round + 1\` (its \`fixedCount\` and deduped \`findings\` are carried forward).
922
+ - **Validate after every round** of fixes; on ANY validation failure, roll back the round's fixes via \`iterate_rollback\` and stop (the checkpoint is left in place so the run can be resumed). A rollback must also flip that round's fix records to \`success:false\` and decrement \`fixedCount\`, so \`findingsFixed\` and the final capture never count rolled-back work as applied. EXCEPTION: \`iterate_validate\` returning \`allowed:false\` means the command is simply not in \`validation.commands\` — a config gap, not broken code. In that case abort WITHOUT rolling back the round's fixes and surface the missing command + file so the user can fix the trust list. And if the validate SUBAGENT itself fails (resolves null / no \`results\`), validation did NOT run: stop with \`validationUnavailable = true\` (and \`abortedByValidation = true\`) BEFORE the checkpoint save — never collapse a failed validator into an empty, apparently-passing result. The SAME fail-closed rule applies to an EMPTY result set (\`results: []\`): zero commands executed means zero verification, so log \`reason:"zero_validation_results"\`, set \`validationUnavailable = true\`, record the defense event, and stop — an empty result is not a pass.
923
+ - **Checkpoint after every round**; clear it only when the iteration completes cleanly (never after a validation, schema, or unavailable-validator abort — the checkpoint must stay for a resume).
924
+ - Stop when a round produces nothing to fix (converged), maxReviewRounds is reached, validation aborts the run (including an unavailable validator: \`stoppedReason:"aborted_by_validation"\` with \`validationUnavailable:true\`), or a round yields no usable reviewer output (\`stoppedReason:"schema_invalid"\`). A run that ends cleanly having executed ZERO validation commands reports \`stoppedReason:"converged_unverified"\`/\`"max_rounds_unverified"\` — never a plain \`converged\`/\`"max_rounds_reached"\`.
596
925
  - Every round, every rollback, and the final report go to the append-only decision log.
597
- - Close with \`iterate_status\` metrics and surface the convergence indicators (fixed count, remaining architectural count, abort reason) in the final summary.
926
+ - **Close-out for the command-center tabs (F8/F9/F10)**: after the report compute the quality certificate with \`iterate_quality_gate({operation:"compute", dimensions, findings, findingsByRound, fixedByDimension, validationResults})\` (label \`quality-gate:compute\`) — pass only findings still OPEN (architectural + findings no successful fix closed), the per-dimension series, and the recorded validations (a null exitCode counts as failed). During the loop: every validation-passed fix batch is banked via \`iterate_experience add\` (the tool dedupes pattern+dimension into hit counts), and every rollback / precondition failure (validator failed, zero results, allow-list gap, schema-invalid round) or falsified assumption (a fix \`iterate_fix\` refused) is recorded with \`recordDefense\`. Dry-run computes ONLY the quality gate — it applies no fixes (no F9) and triggers no defenses (no F10), because it writes nothing outside the transcript.
927
+ - Close with \`iterate_status\` metrics and surface the convergence indicators (fixed count, remaining architectural count, abort reason, verified vs UNVERIFIED) in the final summary.
