 ## Purpose and when to use
 
 - Use after you build or change any UI, before calling it done. Covers web/page UIs, TUI/terminal UIs, and paginated documents.
-- Use with or without a reference: a mock, a baseline, or a source site when one exists; otherwise the checklist is the reference. Also when you suspect a regression, when CJK (Korean/Japanese/Chinese) text may clip, misalign, or wrap awkwardly, when a claimed design system might actually be a flat image, or when a terminal layout may overflow or its borders may break.
+- Use with or without a reference: a mock, a baseline, or a source site when one exists; otherwise the checklist is the reference.

Also when you suspect a regression, when CJK (Korean/Japanese/Chinese) text may clip, misalign, or wrap awkwardly, when a claimed design system might actually be a flat image, or when a terminal layout may overflow or its borders may break.
 - Skip when there is no rendered surface (pure backend or library logic with no visual or terminal output). For broad post-implementation review use review-work; this skill is the visual specialist.

Dispatch it yourself, every time, without waiting to be told. Give each reviewer the captures for every enumerated page from Step 2, not a sample, tell it the page count so it can confirm none were skipped, and paste the checklist sections it owns verbatim. This dispatch is review round 1 of the budget in Step 4.
 
 Dispatch through your harness's own subagent tool. In OpenCode: `task(subagent_type="oracle", ...)`. In Codex: `multi_agent_v1.spawn_agent({"message": "...", "agent_type": "lazycodex-gate-reviewer", "fork_context": false})` (the code blocks below are written in OpenCode `task(...)` form; translate them to that `spawn_agent` call, putting the full prompt in `message`).

Each returns PASS, REVISE, or FAIL with concrete, located findings. Pass A proves the surface is a real design-system implementation, not a mock-only or faked-image substitute, and judges behaviour: motion, states, keyboard, platform (checklist G-J). Pass B directly opens screenshots and judges what is seen: layout, hierarchy, text, targets, themes, consistency (checklist A-F), reference fidelity and CJK.

+This is a hard stop rule, not a guideline. The UI is done when ALL of these hold at once on the SAME current build:
 
-- An independent read-only reviewer subagent returned PASS with no BLOCKING findings.
+- An independent read-only reviewer returned PASS, or only `[taste]` findings, on the current build.
 - That reviewer judged a FRESH capture of every enumerated page from Step 2 - no stale artifacts, no skipped pages.
-- Every CJK and layout finding is resolved in the rendered output, not merely noted.
+- Every `[defect]` finding is resolved in the rendered output, not merely noted.
 
-If any page fails, you are not done - but treat the two blocker kinds differently. `[product]` findings: fix the source, re-capture the pages the fix touched, and dispatch a FRESH reviewer (never a followup to the previous one - stale reviewer context re-litigates settled findings). `[evidence]` findings: the product is not implicated - repair the capture pipeline, re-shoot only the defective artifacts, verify them against the live build, and re-dispatch without touching product code. Loop until the independent reviewer passes on the current build, and make the final approving round judge a complete fresh capture set. Do not stop because the automated script reports zero issues - the script aims the reviewer, it does not replace it. Do not stop because an earlier pass approved an older build. The only non-loop exit is to list the exact remaining gaps and get explicit user acceptance; never self-certify a silent PASS.
+The loop is bounded. The initial dual-oracle pass is round 1; each fresh re-review increments it. A low-risk surface (one component, a figure, a report page, a copy change) gets 2 rounds; a product surface gets 3. Record the round count and the wall-clock time per round in the report.
+
+- `[product] [defect]`: fix the source, re-capture the pages the fix touched, and dispatch a FRESH reviewer (never a followup to the previous one - stale reviewer context re-litigates settled findings). This consumes a round.
+- `[product] [taste]`: record it under "Recorded taste findings" and stop; a reviewer that reports only taste has passed the surface. Fix taste only when it rides along with a defect fix that is re-reviewed anyway. A reviewer that reclassifies a recorded taste finding as a defect must say what changed; otherwise it stays taste.
+- `[evidence]`: the product is not implicated and no round is consumed; repair the capture pipeline, re-shoot only the defective artifacts, verify them against the live build, and re-dispatch without touching product code.
+
+The final approving round judges a complete fresh capture set. Do not stop because the automated script reports zero issues - the script aims the reviewer, it does not replace it - or because an earlier pass approved an older build. When the budget is exhausted with a `[defect]` open: STOP, dispatch no further reviewer, report NEEDS HUMAN REVIEW with every open defect in Must fix, and continue only on explicit user acceptance or a new request; the budget grows only when the user asks. Never self-certify a silent PASS.

 1. Pixel-perfect design-compare subagent (visual oracle). Dispatch a focused, read-only design-compare reviewer (recommend `gpt-5.6-sol` with xhigh reasoning). It must crop/zoom BOTH the reference (target / Figma export / source-site screenshot / generated page snapshot) and the ACTUAL screenshot into matching regions and read them **pixel-by-pixel** - header, nav, each card, spacing, type ramp, color tokens - not at a glance. It must also compare the overview text or annotations against the rendered content and DOM text. Anchor every claim with the bundled tool:

+## Step 6 - Before/after mode (when changing an existing UI)
+
+A redesign nobody can see beside its baseline cannot be judged, and a regression hidden in it ships. This mode starts BEFORE the first edit and feeds Pass B.
+
+1. **Fix the cases before editing** and do not change them afterwards: the states that matter (typically empty, loading, populated, error, plus any state the change targets) x the widths (web: 390 and 1440, plus 1920 for page layouts; a TUI: the column counts it supports, such as 80 and 120; paged output: each page size it prints to) x the theme(s) the surface ships. A case discovered mid-work is added to both sides, never to `after` alone.
+2. **Capture `before` on the pre-edit build**, one PNG per case with the Step 2 tooling, as `<case>-<state>-<width>-<theme>-before.png`. Seed or mock the data so every state is reachable on demand; the same seed produces `after`.
+3. **Capture `after` under identical conditions** on the current build (tooling, viewport, scroll position, theme, data, state) as `<case>-<state>-<width>-<theme>-after.png`.
+4. **Compose each pair** side by side into `<case>-<state>-<width>-<theme>-pair.png` (before left, after right, same scale, a one-line caption naming the case), and run `image-diff <before.png> <after.png>` to aim the reviewer at what moved.
+5. **Hand the pairs to Pass B** (its BEFORE/AFTER PAIRS field) with the brief and the required-content list; its check 3 judges improvement and regression. The pairs go into the report and the PR body. `before` is never reconstructed after the fact.
