+## PER-ARTIFACT 4-AXIS RUBRIC

+   - VERIFIED: Symbol confirmed present in its declared package/module (state which file you read)
+   - FABRICATED: Symbol not found in declared package/module
+
+2. **Signature Accuracy**: Do argument counts, types, and return shapes match the real signature?
+   - ACCURATE: Invocation matches documented/source signature
+   - DRIFTED: Argument count, type, or return shape differs from real signature
+
+3. **Doc/Spec Claims**: Are verifiable factual claims in phase-produced docs, retro, or plan.md supported?
+   - SUPPORTED: Claim verified against source files, tests, or spec.md
+   - UNSUPPORTED: Claim cannot be verified (flag only verifiable claims, not aspirational design notes)
+
+4. **Citation Integrity**: Do file:line references, issue numbers, commit hashes, package versions resolve?
+   - RESOLVED: Every citation checked out (file exists, line in range, version real)
+   - BROKEN: File missing, line out of range, version not published, or issue number non-existent
+
+OUTPUT FORMAT per artifact (MANDATORY \u2014 deviations will be rejected):
+Begin directly with HALLUCINATION CHECK. Do NOT prepend conversational preamble.
+
+HALLUCINATION CHECK:
+For each changed artifact in the phase:
+ARTIFACT [file or identifier]: [VERIFIED|FABRICATED|DRIFTED]
+  - API Existence: [VERIFIED|FABRICATED] \u2014 [which file/module you read and what you found]
+  - Signature Accuracy: [ACCURATE|DRIFTED] \u2014 [signature you verified vs what was used]
+  - Doc/Spec Claims: [SUPPORTED|UNSUPPORTED] \u2014 [what claim you checked and where]
+  - Citation Integrity: [RESOLVED|BROKEN] \u2014 [which citations you checked and results]

+  - DRIFTED signatures: [list symbol + actual vs expected]
+  - UNSUPPORTED claims: [list claim text + what was missing]
+  - BROKEN citations: [list citation + why it failed]
+  - Specific fix steps: [concrete list of what must be corrected]

+RULES:
+- READ-ONLY: no file modifications
+- SKEPTICAL posture: verify everything, trust nothing from implementation
+- Report the first deviation point per artifact, not all downstream consequences
