  "description": "Structured output contract for a council-v2 reviewer (requirements/test/quality/devils-advocate/general). Claude Code emits this when invoked with --json-schema (INLINE content, not a path) --output-format json. The council-v2 dispatch reads structured_output directly; a sed-carve of prose JSON remains the fail-closed fallback. verdict is the gating token; any parse miss defaults to REJECT (the safe direction).",
