Round 8 (0f400d3..29b4ac9, BLOCK: 1 BLOCKER, 12 MAJOR, 1 MINOR). Each fix
began with a test that failed on 29b4ac9 (13 tests, all red there); suite
2221 (2219/0/2).
- BLOCKER: a backticked check whose trailing comment holds a quote, $,
backtick or backslash is refused, not dropped. The comment was never
screened, while the executor hands the Verify span as written to red
proof, the test lock and the done line inside --cmd "...", where a $(...)
runs and a quote ends the argument. trekplan's text and the reviewer's
NOT RUN table say so.
- A span that is only a comment is not-a-command, not a placeholder. The
dropComment text says the allowlist still refuses a word with a # in it.
- The criteria runner, comparison-gate and end-state-gate use isMain: they
did nothing and exited 0 under a symlinked path. The test now refuses any
process.argv[1] comparison outside lib/util/is-main.mjs.
- Files: in a field with backticked paths, a plain word counts only before
the entry's description (a dash, or a colon after the path); a name with
no slash only first in its entry or after and/or/+/&. "mocks
fs.readFileSync", "runs on Node.js 22.x" or "no change to package.json"
no longer make a tests-only step look like it builds something.
Lowercase makefile, rakefile and justfile are build files. Measured on the
520 Files: fields in 48 plans of the marketplace and the test repo:
3 fields read differently (two notes no longer read as files, one
duplicate name dropped), tests-only changed in 0.
- The test lock compares --cmd without its trailing comment, and the test
lock and the done line read a stop with stoppedBy, the one reading.
red-proof drops its second reading, spawnError.
- release-check reads a relative --review in --repo or, when only that one
exists, from the current directory as 6.3.0 did; two different files are
exit 2, never guessed. The runbook says so.
- One trailing-json reader: a closing fence may be longer than three
backticks, in the block reader and the verdict gate alike, and the review
validator and the synthesis digest use it, so three backticks inside a
JSON string no longer hide a BLOCKER from the remediation-step check.

Round 7 (516dffa..45aa9e1, WARN: 12 MAJOR, 0 BLOCKER) and the fence defect
found while writing its review.md. Each fix began with a test that failed on
0f400d3 (v6.3.0); suite 2208 (2206/0/2), 14 tests more.
- Tests-only (operator 2026-10-11): the plan's Files: alone decides, and the
text says so (red-proof, trekexecute Sub-step B, step-implementer,
HANDOVER-CONTRACTS). red-proof no longer reads the step's diff, so a change
already in the tree when the step began no longer counts against it, and a
plan placed outside .claude/ reads the same. The round-6 test that had the
diff overrule the plan is rewritten to the new rule.
- The Files: reader keeps a plain file beside a backticked path
(", Dockerfile", "the CLI entry src/cli.mjs", "and Makefile"). Measured on
the 520 Files: fields in 182 plans: no field reads differently.
- Red proof reports a command its timeout killed as killed after the timeout,
not "could not start"; the release check tells a timeout from output past
its buffer and from another signal. One reading of a stop
(criteria-runner stoppedBy) for red proof, the criteria runner and the
release check.
- A trailing `# comment` is dropped in a backticked check too, and in a
command passed as written, so the words screened are the words run.
- The release check reads a relative --review in --repo.
- The 15-minute timeout is defined once (criteria-runner.mjs).
- The findings check reads each cited file once per validation.
- One isMain helper (lib/util/is-main.mjs) for every CLI: the 31 copies of
the realpath guard and the 20 modules still on the file:// guard, which
exited 0 having done nothing under a symlink or a path with a space.
- The Bash guard writes its no-one-to-ask refusal once, on a direct condition.
- The findings check ends a ```json block only at a fence on its own line, so
three backticks inside a JSON string no longer end it (also in 6.2.0).
- Brief-conformance notes: a test for test-lock green on exit 127 (it
passed at once; it fails when 127 is read as could-not-run); the prose now
names the git revision `@~1` as the one leading-@ exception.
Not changed: the example plan's steps 1-2 keep their tests-only warning
(operator decision 2026-10-09; the r5 test records it). Brief note 4 (a
Regression: whose runner is not installed goes to the fix rounds) is a
routing question for the operator.

An adversarial read of d88245c reproduced 15 problems; all fixed here, each
with a test that fails on the old code.
- verdict-gate: a greener verdict must be backed by the LAST fence being a
`json` block of the right shape, with no BLOCKER in the JSON (any case),
in `## Findings (BLOCKER)`, or a differing finding-id list; two verdict
lines and more than one file argument are exit 2. ({}, null, lowercase
"blocker", a trailing ```jsonc and a later json fence all gave exit 0.)
- engine-findings: a transcribed "narrower" key can no longer lower an
engine tier; absolute paths under --repo-root match the scope; "12" lines
parse; an empty scope is an error; out-of-scope engine findings are
unverified (`engine:out-of-scope`) and forbid ALLOW.
- recurrence: the catch-all engine keys and keys normalised from unknown
ones are never proposed; the same unfixed finding in two iterations is not
a recurrence; proposals are validated before they are offered; \r/U+2028
and damaged markers are refused; writes go through a symlinked CLAUDE.md.
Prose points --repo at the session directory, not the git toplevel.
- Workflow substrate: engines are counted from what arrived, and the
verdict's floor is recomputed from the coordinator's findings; now tested
by running the script with stubbed Workflow globals. Two literal NUL bytes
written as \u0000 (git saw the file as binary).
- Trimming keeps Pass 1's "Also flagged by" provenance; `## Declined to
Judge` and remediation steps are required from review_version 1.1 only
(N-1); the zero-diff review now carries the JSON block the gate needs.

Ordre 5 (wave 1, P11 + P5), review_version 1.1.
- K7: `verdict: ALLOW | WARN | BLOCK` is required in review.md (strict
error, soft warning for 1.0 reviews). New CLI lib/review/verdict-gate.mjs:
0 = ALLOW/WARN, 1 = BLOCK, 2 = could not decide (never green); a verdict
greener than the file's own BLOCKERs or JSON block is exit 2. Realpath
main guard (the old file:// guard exits 0 under a symlink - measured).
- No finding is struck for length: succinctness trims only MINOR/SUGGESTION
text (catalogue tier), keeps BLOCKER/MAJOR whole, counts trims; the
coordinator lists what it declined to judge.
- Claude Code's /code-review and /security-review run as the engine via the
Skill tool (never --fix/--comment/--post/ultra); lib/review/engine-findings.mjs
turns their findings into a reviewer payload; two catalogue keys
(CODE_REVIEW_DEFECT, SECURITY_REVIEW_VULNERABILITY), catalogue 12 -> 14.
An engine that did not run forbids ALLOW.
- Every BLOCKER is written as a numbered `### Step R<n>` with its source
finding (strict error REVIEW_MISSING_REMEDIATION_STEP).
- P5: lib/review/recurrence.mjs - a finding class in two review.md files
(current + git history, no new store) becomes one proposal, routed by the
catalogue's memory_route; written only between Voyage markers in
.claude/rules/voyage-review-lessons.md under a size budget, CLAUDE.md gets
a pointer only; the operator approves every line (Phase 8.7).
- Workflow substrate: catalogue enum in step; a missing reviewer or engine
forbids ALLOW there too (it returned ALLOW on zero findings before).
- Fixtures review-run-A/B said WARN over a BLOCKER; now BLOCK.
Borrowed and credited in code: Superpowers (declined-to-judge), ai-native-sdlc
(cap only nits; mistake/fix/check), Spec Kit (managed block; converge steps),
Pocock (retro routing), Kiro (verdict file + gate; evidence per lesson),
Cherny (engine -> brief control order; review -> memory; budget).

The v4.2/v4.3 bespoke playground SPA (~388 KB), the /trekrevise command,
Handover 8 (annotation → revision), the supporting lib/ modules
(anchor-parser, annotation-digest, markdown-write, revision-guard), the
Playwright e2e suite, and the @playwright/test / @axe-core/playwright
devDeps are removed. A browser walkthrough found the playground borderline
unusable, and it duplicated the official /playground plugin's
document-critique / diff-review templates.
In their place: scripts/render-artifact.mjs — a small, zero-dependency
renderer that turns a brief/plan/review .md into a self-contained,
design-system-styled, zero-network .html (frontmatter folded into a
<details> block). /trekbrief, /trekplan, and /trekreview call it on their
last step and print the file:// link; to annotate, run /playground
(document-critique) on the .md and paste the generated prompt back.
Resolves the v4.3.1-deferred findings as moot (their target files are
deleted). npm test green: 509 tests, 507 pass, 0 fail, 2 skipped.
