headless-review is the standalone surface of newsletter Step 6.5: a cold
adversarial review-orchestrator, NOT post-emitting — it emits a consolidated
review report + optional edition-state persist, never drafts prose, never
publishes a feed post, so the feed-post predicates (hook 110-140, 1,200-1,800
band, no-body-link) do not apply (even further from feed-post than newsletter).
The 4 archetype agents are shared with newsletter Step 6.5 -> S9 baseline reused.
Ran the 7 predicates tool-grounded against the final file (248 lines):
- 4 namespaced subagent types resolve (frontmatter name: match)
- 8/8 Reference Files exist (:241-248)
- always-present fallback longform-quality-rules.md exists
- articles.NN.headlessReview schema complete in edition-state.template.json
(:56-69, ladder pending->run->folded)
- 5 degradation points (freeze cp :130 / draft ask-once :104 / persona :117 /
[GATE] re-run :163-164 / output-default :93 + SendUserFile-else-file:// :208-210)
- persona resolution chain = newsletter Step 1 (:179-183)
- "five archetypes" (line-wrapped :5-6/:30-31) = 5 modes from 4 agents
Borderline at talk: freeze (:126) assumes review/ exists (no mkdir -p).
Operator chose Alt A (no change) — byte-identical to newsletter :1050 (S9-clean);
review/ is created by the render pipeline that produces the draft. Logged as a
NICE below the axis-pass bar, not pursued.
4-axis verdict: a/b/c/d all PASS, 0 gaps, 0 deferrals -> NO CHANGE.
Gate: test-runner 81/0/0 · counts 29/19/26 unchanged · headless-review.md
byte-identical to 3cd174c (S9); only docs/hardening/log.md added.
