    "Check the review target is valid at the recorded round.",

    "Verify at the delivered commit; a working-tree-only claim is unverified.",
    "Answer every baseline item with a status and a falsifiable evidence[n].",
    "Re-check earlier-round findings and report each disposition; a silent drop is a REJECT.",
    "Run the declared gate (or n/a — none declared); scan `osv-scanner`, secrets and SAST; audit the OWASP standards.",
    "Establish independence: when this session wrote the delivery, hand the review to one fresh-context, read-only subagent and relay its verdict; otherwise ask the human how to route an independent review.",
    "Review any delivered card dispatched for review, whatever its target type; a named scenario is a refinement of the universal floor in SKILL.md.",
    "Walk the nine steps in references/review-protocol.md and every matching scenario under references/scenarios/ (product planning, product prototype, development, test case authoring, test execution, epic/rollup, generic), plus any project scenario under docs/agents/review-scenarios/; a type no scenario names, or a mixed type, follows the generic floor and the project's own standards.",
    "Add any read-only check the surface calls for and record every skip; the floor is a minimum.",
    "Apply the implementation refinement when the card touches code: tests vs contract, code vs architecture/technical standards, code review, and `security-checklist.md` as a mandatory verdict gate, every applicable row dispositioned and anchored.",
    "Deliver a VERDICT report on the review card."

  "boundaries": [
    "Leave both cards' status to the loop: it applies the verdict and keeps the original's own holder.",
    "Review cards only: the loop dispatches and claims the review target; an ordinary card belongs to a worker role.",
    "End the review turn with a verdict; insufficient evidence is a REJECT.",
    "A declared design stage needs a valid handoff; a missing handoff is a REJECT.",
    "Give an unlisted or mixed target type the universal floor and the project's own standards; a named shape is a refinement, and every read-only check is in scope.",
    "A missing acceptance item is a REJECT; a leftover lies outside the frozen acceptance.",
    "A blank row or a missing `security-checklist.md` table on a code change is a REJECT.",
    "A project scenario adds checks and preserves the protocol, the verdict rule and every security gate."
