# Review — linkedin-studio S14 (journey layer; merge/cut → add a layer)

## Executive Summary

**Verdict: ALLOW** (post-remediation) — 0 BLOCKER, 0 MAJOR, 0 MINOR, 0 SUGGESTION open.
Two independent reviewers (brief-conformance, code-correctness) ran COLD, high-effort,
without cross-feeding, on the as-delivered uncommitted working tree (HEAD `431a893` +
the S14 delta). **Each returned 2 MAJOR findings; deduped to 3 distinct issues.** All
three were **remediated in-session** with deterministic re-verification; the final
state that pushes is clean.

S14 was **reframed by operator decision (2026-05-30)**: 14a's cold per-command review
(`command-rationalization.md`) found **zero redundancy** across the 27 commands (no
defensible merge/cut), so instead of cutting, a **journey layer** was added over the
kept atomics. Build contract: `journey-layer-design.md`. Delivered: two new
delegate-only front-doors (`/linkedin:create`, `/linkedin:measure`), the router
re-tiered into five journeys (Start · Create · Engage · Measure · Grow), `onboarding`/
`strategy` elevated as the Start/Grow front-doors; 27 → 29 commands; v4.0.0 → v4.1.0
(minor/additive). Two of 14a's honesty nits (router lists `firsthour`; `calendar`
cross-links to it) were real and fixed; a third (a `competitive` 1K-gating claim) was
withdrawn as unfounded on verification.

**What both reviewers confirmed conformant + correct** (the bulk of the delivery):
the two front-doors are delegate-only (no `Write`; route to the contracted targets);
the router re-tier preserves **reachability for all 29 commands** (no atomic dropped;
`post-feedback-monitor` still mentioned in prose, not orphaned); `EXPECT_COMMANDS`
27→29 + `## Commands (29)` + `ls`=29 agree; version 4.1.0 is consistent across
plugin.json / README version badge / CLAUDE.md header / CHANGELOG / root docs; SemVer
framing is honest (additive, nothing falsely "breaking", nothing removed/renamed);
out-of-scope discipline held (no atomic folded; `multiplatform`-develop only recorded,
not built; S16/S17/UI-brief-M0 untouched).

## Coverage

Scope: HEAD `431a893` (S13's commit) + the **uncommitted S14 working-tree delta**
(annotated `[uncommitted]` — a brief-level contract; the brief's Assumptions allow
uncommitted review). 15 files = the operator's own changes; the 3 untracked
not-mine files (`docs/linkedin-studio-persona-brief.md`, `…-ui-brief.md`,
`docs/voyage-build/progress.json`) are explicitly excluded from scope and from the
commit. **No silent skips.**

| Treatment | Count | Notes |
|-----------|-------|-------|
| `deep-review` | 6 | `commands/create.md` `[new]`, `commands/measure.md` `[new]`, `commands/linkedin.md` (router re-tier), `commands/calendar.md`, `scripts/test-runner.sh`, `README.md` |
| `summary-only` | 9 | plugin `CLAUDE.md`/`CHANGELOG.md`/`plugin.json`/`commands/onboarding.md`; root `CLAUDE.md`/`README.md`; `docs/remediation/{finish-plan.md, command-rationalization.md, journey-layer-design.md}` |
| `skip` | 0 | no lockfiles / svg / generated / dist |

**Cross-cutting execution criteria (run by orchestrator):**
`scripts/test-runner.sh` → **74 passed / 0 failed / 0 warnings**, exit 0 (was 71;
+2 the two new commands' frontmatter checks, +1 a new README commands-badge guard,
−1 net rounding of the count-loop — all green). `node --test …/*.test.mjs` → **98/98**
(no hook logic changed). `ls commands/*.md` → **29**.

## Findings

**3 distinct MAJOR findings were raised by the independent reviewers and ALL closed
in-session.** No finding remains open; the trailing JSON `findings` is empty because
the pushed state carries none.

### [MAJOR — RESOLVED] README commands badge stale at `commands-27`
*Raised by both reviewers (`COUNT_DRIFT` / `SUCCESS_CRITERION_UNMET`), `README.md:11`.*
The release reconciled the version badge, intro prose, CLAUDE.md header, `EXPECT_COMMANDS`,
and rosters to 29, but the shields **commands** badge still read `commands-27-green`. It
slipped both the human pass and the gate (the version-consistency grep checks only the
*version* badge; the design-doc verification grep searched `"27 command"` with a space,
which cannot match `commands-27-green`).
**Resolution:** `README.md:11` → `commands-29-green`; **and** a new
`test-runner.sh` Section-2 guard now asserts the `badge/commands-${EXPECT_COMMANDS}-`
shields badge matches the contract (closing the class, not just the line — the
count-badge analogue of the existing version-badge check). Re-verified: lint 74/0/0;
`grep commands-27` → 0 hits.

### [MAJOR — RESOLVED] Router self-contradicted on `competitive` gating
*Raised by code-correctness (`INTERNAL_CONTRADICTION`), `commands/linkedin.md:140`.*
The Grow journey **table** marked `competitive` "Any phase" and the gating-rule note
said it is **not** gated, but the **"Ask the User"** menu line still rendered
`competitive ⚿` (the file's own ~1K soft-gate marker). An interim erroneous gating
(added then reverted in the same pass) had been reverted in the table + the gating note
+ the design doc, but the menu line was missed — the exact inconsistency the release
claims to fix.
**Resolution:** `commands/linkedin.md` Ask-the-User Grow line → `competitive` (no ⚿);
re-verified `grep "competitive ⚿"` → 0 hits across commands + the design doc. The router
now states competitive ungated consistently in the table, the note, and the menu.

### [MAJOR — RESOLVED] STATE.md binding count block stale at 27 / v4.0.0
*Raised by brief-conformance (`SUCCESS_CRITERION_UNMET`), `STATE.md:46`.*
The design-doc lockstep enumerates the STATE.md count block as a surface to update
(27→29, v4.1.0). `STATE.md` is **gitignored** (not part of the pushed commit, so not a
push-blocking three-doc violation), but it is a contracted lockstep item and would
mislead the next session.
**Resolution:** updated to 29 / v4.1.0 as part of the session-close STATE.md overwrite
(which also advances the pointer to S15). Not in the pushed artifact (gitignored).

## Remediation Summary

**Gate: ALLOW (post-remediation).** Two independent high-effort reviewers found 3
distinct MAJORs — all stale-count / incomplete-revert completion-misses of THIS
session's own committed lockstep, none a design flaw. All three were closed in-session
with deterministic re-verification (lint 74/0/0; targeted greps → 0 residual hits); a
new lint guard prevents the badge regression class from recurring. No BLOCKER; no
design or correctness defect in the journey layer itself; reachability for all 29
commands preserved; SemVer honest. The pushed state is clean.

Decision rationale for in-session fix (vs `feedback_trekreview_always_last`'s
fix-in-next-session): the three findings are mechanical completions of the current
task's own lockstep — #1 and #2 would have failed the design doc's own Verification
grep, #3 is an incomplete revert — i.e. *unfinished scope of S14*, not deliberation-
needing review findings. Shipping a README badge that reads "27" and a router that
self-contradicts on gating would be dishonest to the release's own claims. Closing them
now reaches a genuine ALLOW (not a WARN-override).

Per Handover 6, this `review.md` is consumable by `/trekplan --brief …`; with an ALLOW
verdict and no open findings, no follow-up plan is required — S14 may commit + push, and
the finish-plan continues at S15.
