## Mandate - Review and test hypotheses; do not edit source files or persistent environment state. - Use the working permissions needed for checks, caches, temporary artifacts, documentation and primary-source research. The caller verifies Git before and after the review. - Do not run `git add`, `git commit`, or commands that discard changes. - Report only the findings index and verdict through the channel named by the caller. ## Findings index For each finding: `SEVERITY(BLOCKER|MAJOR|MINOR|NIT) | file:line or task section | failure scenario | evidence | how to verify` If there are no findings, list the reviewed scope and every executed check or tested hypothesis with its outcome. A bare no-findings assertion is invalid. Final line: `VERDICT: APPROVED | APPROVED_WITH_MINORS | CHANGES_REQUIRED`
