+
+### Changed
+
+- Reviewer contract now requires independent reproduction when acceptance
+  rests on empirical or probabilistic evidence: flake rates, benchmarks, "n
+  runs green", or performance/timing numbers. The reviewer must rerun the
+  measurement itself, not re-read the implementer's log, and record method,
+  sample size, and result against the implementer's claim in a new
+  `reproduction` field (`method, sample_size, result,
+  matches_implementer_claim`) added to the Reviewer output contract in
+  `SKILL.md` step 7 and to the installed `assets/agents/reviewer.md` prompt
+  body (shared, byte-identical, by the Claude Code and opencode reviewer
+  subagents). `matches_implementer_claim` uses `matched | mismatched |
+  not_applicable` rather than `yes | no | not_applicable`: bare `yes`/`no`
+  are YAML 1.1 boolean synonyms, and picking unambiguous tokens up front
+  costs nothing even though this field is prose a human reads, not a
+  machine-parsed value. The trigger is deliberately narrow: a single deterministic
+  check (one test run, `tsc`, lint) does not qualify, only claims that could
+  vary run to run. `05-review-findings.md` gains a short trailing comment
+  pointing reviewers at the rule; the findings-table placeholder row itself
+  is untouched. Motivated by a live incident (agent-dx run
+  2026-07-18-harness-subprocess-test-deflake): an implementer's "8/8 green"
+  flake-rate claim on a maxWorkers-cap fix was overturned only because the
+  reviewer independently reran the suite and found 2/6 red on an independent
+  6-run sample (flake rate ~1/3, matching the pre-fix baseline) — nothing in
+  the prior contract required that rerun. Docs-only change: no runtime
+  behavior in this package depends on the new field, it is a reporting
+  contract the orchestrator and operator read. Motivated by agent-tasks task
+  0018d61c.
+
+## [0.13.0] - 2026-07-18
+
+### Changed
+
+- `05-review-findings.md`'s findings-table placeholder/legend row
+  (`| low/medium/high/critical | ... | accepted/defer |`) now carries a
+  comment stating its fail-closed semantics: replace this row when
+  transferring reviewer findings (step 7), or delete it outright for a
+  genuine zero-findings review (a header row with no data rows is valid; a
+  leftover legend row next to real finding rows is also fine). `SKILL.md`'s
+  step 7 gains a matching one-sentence rule. This is the contract half of a
+  fix for a mixed-state bypass in grounding-mcp's orchestrator-workflow
+  completeness reader: the reader identifies a real finding row by its
+  Severity cell carrying a single concrete value, so the shipped slash-list
+  legend row was never counted as a finding — a run that filled the
+  `acceptance-recommendation` marker with `accept` but left this row
+  byte-for-byte as shipped read as `complete: true` with zero findings,
+  indistinguishable from a genuine zero-findings review. The runtime half
+  (the reader treating a survived, unaccompanied placeholder row as an
+  explicit format blocker instead of silently reporting zero findings) is a
+  lockstep sibling change in grounding-mcp's own release, outside this
+  package. In this package the change is docs/template/test-only: no
+  runtime behavior changes here, the completeness reader itself is not part
+  of this package, and the fail-closed enforcement only takes effect once
+  grounding-mcp ships its lockstep sibling change (agent-tasks task
+  8f173547); do not tag/publish this 0.13.0 release before that change ships
+  (release ordering). A template-markers test pins the placeholder row's
+  literal wording (mutation-checked, matching the reader's literal match) and
+  that the replace/delete rule is documented next to it. Motivated by
+  agent-tasks task fa0eca65.
