+  "description": "v6 role-seat plan, phase 5 real-run candidate (docs/v6-decisions.md 'Phase 5 - role debate chain'). Same shape as plan-debate-open-c2, minus Kimi (five seats, not six, to match the plan's five lenses/five personas one-to-one). BUILD-FIX 2026-09-14: originally written against phase 1/2's seats.critics-does-double-duty shape, before the full v6 release integration split seats.proposers (proposes and debates, role-bearing) from seats.critics (panel/critique stage, role-free) as its own array - chain-lint's role-on-non-proposer-seat check (v6 phase 7) is correct that a role on seats.critics alone is a no-op under the current, intentional contract. Fixed by declaring both arrays explicitly: seats.proposers carries the five role-bearing debate seats; seats.critics is the same five labs for the later panel/critique stage, with role stripped (the panel stage must never see it, per v6 phase 2's stage-isolation guarantee - role appearing there at all would itself be a lint/architecture violation, not just redundant). SUBSTITUTION 2026-09-14: the gemini/adversary/parzival seat is now minimax (MiniMax M3, via openrouter) - Google AI Studio's prepayment credits were depleted mid-run (real HTTP 429, not a code bug); Muad chose swapping the lab over topping up credit so the run could happen the same night. Only this one seat changed; the other four labs and their pairings are unaffected. Reasoning for the replacement pick is in docs/v6-decisions.md, not repeated here. Pairings and their reasoning are in docs/v6-decisions.md, not repeated here so there is one place to keep them current.",
