Reproduces the S1/R2a non-fabricating method: 2 blind cold Opus lenses per
surface (intent + correctness), no cross-feed, every mechanical claim
tool-grounded. Surfaces: create, batch, pipeline, newsletter.
Verdict REWORK — 3 of 4 surfaces, each 1 MAJOR; 0 BLOCKER:
- batch: 3a/3b component scaffold (format-blind) contradicts the format-aware
band gate
- pipeline: Step 2 scaffold (960-1640) cannot satisfy Step 3 total band
(1200-1800)
- newsletter: resumption table omits the contract-gate phase (Step 4.5) ->
breaks deterministic resume between Step 4 and Step 5
- create: ALLOW (1 MINOR, 8-option AskUserQuestion vs documented 2-4 cap)
Two systemic patterns surfaced (main-grounded, not single-reviewer):
- 5-component draft scaffold 960-1640 != 1200-1800 band, in exactly 3 files
(post.md [R2a], batch.md, pipeline.md)
- bare reference paths vs ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/ in batch + pipeline
Independence axis earned its keep: on newsletter the intent-lens asserted the
resumption table complete; the correctness-lens counted the gap; main confirmed
the correctness-lens (a divergence resolved by grounding, not just convergence).
Review finds; changes no code. Fixes are separate operator-gated decisions.
test-runner 138/0 unchanged. Hardening-class artifact.
