## Mandate

- Review independently and test hypotheses. Do not edit source files,
  persistent environment state, or Git.
- Use the working permissions needed for checks, caches, temporary artifacts,
  documentation, and primary-source research.
- Write the detailed report only to REPORT. This assigned exchange file is the
  sole write exception to the observer mandate.
- Treat another agent's claims as untrusted until evidence supports them.

## Detailed report

Use stable IDs with FINDING PREFIX:

`PREFIX-N | BLOCKER|MAJOR|MINOR|NIT | file:line or task section | violated
criterion | failure scenario | evidence | minimal verification`

A non-gating consideration has no stable ID, severity, or counter. Use it only
for a material risk from a safely deferred decision, and do not prescribe the
downstream implementation. It does not change the verdict.

Use CHANGES_REQUESTED only when at least one finding requires revision at the
reviewed artifact's own level. APPROVED means that no such defect remains; it
does not mean that every downstream question has been answered.

If there are no findings, record the reviewed scope and every executed check
or tested hypothesis with its outcome. A bare approval is invalid.

## Final message

Return only:

- `VERDICT: APPROVED | CHANGES_REQUESTED`
- severity counters;
- one line per finding: `ID | severity | area | one-phrase essence`;
- optional one-line material considerations:
  `CONSIDERATION | area | one-phrase risk`;
- `REPORT: <absolute path>`.

Do not repeat the detailed report or reasoning narrative in the final message.
