+# Operate note checklist
+
+Check a written Operate note line by line before returning it. Each item names the diagnostic
+code `openplanr operate validate-note` reports for the same problem. Fix what you can; report each
+item that stays unresolved as a structural issue, with its code.
+
+This checklist is the check. Never run `npx`, install or download anything, or search the
+filesystem for a validator or the CLI. Run `openplanr operate validate-note <note> --profile
+<profile> --contract-version 2.0.0` only if `command -v openplanr` succeeds, and treat its
+diagnostics the same way.
+
+Profiles: `advisor` (CEO, CTO, CPO, CMO and COO reviews), `challenger`, `chair` and
+`board-report`. Notes written now use contract 2.0.0.
+
+## Every profile
+
+- [ ] The profile is one of the four above (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_PROFILE_INVALID`).
+- [ ] The preamble, before the first `##` heading, holds at most one contract line, written
+      `> **Contract:** …` or `- **Contract:** …`
+      (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_CONTRACT_DECLARATION_DUPLICATE`). A note with no contract line passes.
+      Only a contract line that is present is checked: its value must be exactly
+      `operate-review-quality-contract@2.0.0` (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_CONTRACT_DECLARATION_INVALID`
+      for an unsupported kind or version, `E_OPERATE_REVIEW_CONTRACT_VERSION_INVALID`,
+      `E_OPERATE_REVIEW_CONTRACT_VERSION_MISMATCH`).
+- [ ] The note has exactly one level-one `#` title (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_TITLE_MISSING`,
+      `E_OPERATE_REVIEW_TITLE_DUPLICATE`).
+- [ ] The note fits its size limit in UTF-8 bytes: advisor 16 KiB, challenger 12 KiB, chair and
+      board-report 24 KiB (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_SIZE_LIMIT`).
+- [ ] Every required `##` section for the profile is present (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_SECTION_MISSING`)
+      and appears once (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_SECTION_DUPLICATE`); there is no other `##` section
+      (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_SECTION_UNEXPECTED`); and the sections follow the order listed below
+      (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_SECTION_ORDER`).
+- [ ] Check section items, section fields and item fields only in sections that are present. A
+      missing section is reported once, as `E_OPERATE_REVIEW_SECTION_MISSING`, and yields no
+      field or item code for what it would have held. The preamble fields are always checked.
+- [ ] Each required field is written as `- **Name:** value` or `> **Name:** value`, appears once
+      in its scope (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_FIELD_DUPLICATE`), and holds a real value, not empty, `...`,
+      `TBD`, `TODO` or a `<placeholder>` (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_FIELD_MISSING`).
+- [ ] A field with a fixed value list uses one of the listed values exactly
+      (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_FIELD_VALUE_INVALID`).
+- [ ] The item section holds at least one item or its exact empty-state sentence
+      (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_ITEM_OR_EMPTY_STATE_MISSING`), at most five items
+      (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_ITEM_LIMIT`), headed `### <prefix><n> — <title>` and numbered 1, 2, 3
+      with no gaps or repeats (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_ITEM_SEQUENCE`).
+- [ ] `Decision-changing gaps` is `None.` or a list within its limit (advisor and challenger 3,
+      chair and board-report 5) counted as `- ` lines (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_SECTION_ITEM_LIMIT`).
+
+## advisor
+
+- [ ] Preamble fields: `Signal` (`action`, `watch` or `insufficient context`) and `Bottom line`.
+- [ ] Sections: `Findings`, `Recommended next move`, `Decision-changing gaps`,
+      `Sources consulted`.
+- [ ] Items `F1`…`F5` under `Findings`, or `No decision-relevant finding was established.` Each
+      has `Priority` (`P0`, `P1`, `P2` or `unranked`), `Status` (`observed` or `inferred`),
+      `Why it matters`, `Sources`, `Confidence` and `Decision impact`.
+- [ ] `Recommended next move` is exactly `No recommendation from current context.` or has
+      `Recommendation`, `Suggested owner`, `First step`, `Expected result`, `Check` and
+      `Revisit when`.
+
+## challenger
+
+- [ ] Preamble fields: `Verdict` (`holds`, `holds with exceptions` or `not decision-ready`) and
+      `Bottom line`.
+- [ ] Sections: `Material exceptions`, `Decisions that still hold`, `Risks and dissent`,
+      `Decision-changing gaps`.
+- [ ] Items `X1`…`X5` under `Material exceptions`, or `No material exception found.` Each has
+      `Target`, `Type` (`unsupported`, `contradicted`, `correlated reasoning`,
+      `missing alternative`, `unpriced downside` or `overconfident`), `Decision impact`,
+      `Challenge`, `Sources` and `Resolution`.
+- [ ] `Risks and dissent` has `Dissent` and `Resolution condition`.
+
+## chair
+
+- [ ] Preamble fields: `Overall signal` (`act now`, `decide next`, `watch` or
+      `insufficient context`) and `Executive call`.
+- [ ] Sections: `Decision queue`, `Action plan`, `Risks and dissent`, `Decision-changing gaps`,
+      `Review coverage`.
+- [ ] The decision queue and action plan items below.
+
+## board-report
+
+- [ ] No preamble fields are required.
+- [ ] Sections: `Scope`, `Executive summary`, `Decision queue`, `Action plan`,
+      `Risks and dissent`, `Decision-changing gaps`, `Review coverage`, `Issues`.
+- [ ] `Scope` has `Subject`, `Window`, `Requested decision` and `Custody`.
+- [ ] `Executive summary` is not empty (`E_OPERATE_REVIEW_SUMMARY_MISSING`); a missing
+      `Executive summary` section is reported both as `E_OPERATE_REVIEW_SECTION_MISSING` and as
+      `E_OPERATE_REVIEW_SUMMARY_MISSING`.
+- [ ] Exceptions to "a missing section yields no other code": with at least one decision, a
+      missing `Action plan` (chair or board-report) also yields
+      `E_OPERATE_REVIEW_ACTION_PLAN_INVALID`; in a contract 1.0.0 note, a missing `Executive call`
+      also yields `E_OPERATE_REVIEW_EXECUTIVE_CALL_MISSING` and a missing `Human gate` also yields
+      `E_OPERATE_REVIEW_HUMAN_GATE_INCOMPLETE`.
+- [ ] The decision queue and action plan items below.
