docs(skills): add a measured exit to the engine-implementer plan-review loop - #7340
Conversation
…an-review loop
The plan-review loop is unbounded by design ("no iteration cap"), and
`$review-engine-plan` ends its own loop with "or the caller stops the process"
while stating no criteria. The orchestrator is that caller and had none, so the
loop had no measured exit.
Adds one: once the design is frozen and the remaining findings are spot drift
(stale number, stale coordinate, missing control, unswept sentence), the
orchestrator applies them as check-and-replace edits and then runs ONE
whole-artifact re-review, instead of dispatching another planner+reviewer round.
A planner rewrite absorbs each finding as new prose, and prose is where spot
findings live, so a full round manufactures the next round's findings.
Three measured conditions, plus two anti-conditions worth stating because both
are plausible and wrong: falling churn is not convergence (it shrinks while a
loop turns unproductive), and the self-origination fraction climbs
non-monotonically, so it is evidence for the switch rather than a trigger.
Consistent with `$bug-triage`'s fixpoint gate, which requires whole-plan
re-review because planner REWRITES introduce gaps in untouched areas. A
check-and-replace at a named coordinate does not rewrite, and the final
re-review stays whole-artifact.

🤖 AI text below 🤖 Independent review — "Surgical-fix mode" subsectionAdversarial multi-lens review (five blind lenses + a skeptic per finding + a completeness critic), all findings verified against the file at Verdict: the core design is sound — no confirmed blockers.Several blocker-severity concerns were raised and then adversarially refuted: the exit is not gameable via condition 3 (a decision-requiring finding cannot be laundered into a passing one without failing conditions 2/3); the deletion of a fourth "falling churn" condition is correct and well-defended; the single final re-review is adequate (a second confirming pass would be gold-plating); "Stop only for …" is not contradicted; the Should-fix (each a one-clause markdown tightening)
Plausible (flagged; not independently verified — the fix's own plan-review should adjudicate)
Optional / cosmeticCR-2 (coordinate anchor — same as #6); CR-3 (record the per-finding spot/design classification, which is the audit-relevant subset — folds into #3's run record; the rest of the proposed canonical schema is ceremony for a markdown doc); surface the mode switch in the Final Report; "measure them, do not judge them" (line 95) slightly overclaims — conditions 2 and 3 are themselves adjudications. Review-only. The |
Review of the surgical-fix mode subsection found the exit was specified as a count rather than a gate, and that two of its supporting rules contradicted sections elsewhere in the same document. - The final re-review mandated "one re-review" with no defined behavior when it returns findings, leaving `$bug-triage`'s fixpoint half unsatisfied and Step 7's "the plan-review loop is clean" predicate unmeetable. It is now a terminating loop: repeat apply -> whole-artifact re-review until a round returns zero gaps, and any finding that requires *deciding* something ends surgical mode and returns to the unbounded loop. - Step 1's "Do not author or edit the plan in this thread" still forbade the new behavior; the exception only ever carved out the line-26 wording. Annotated at the prohibition site. - The mode-switch record was written "in the artifact" - the plan text the sole remaining independent re-reviewer reads, priming the one check surgical mode leaves standing. It now goes to a named path under the run root, declared a process record rather than provenance so the canonical-receipt rule does not reach it, and carries each finding's spot-vs-design classification (CodeRabbit CR-3, audit-relevant subset). - Condition 1 compared a structural *count*, which a 1:1 substitution holds constant. It now compares the named entries themselves (CodeRabbit CR-1). This detects substitution only; an in-place rewrite that preserves every identifier is uncovered by all three entry conditions and is backstopped only by the whole-artifact re-review. - Two-sided verification asserted only the post-state, so a finding citing a wrong coordinate self-certified - "old string absent" is trivially true where the string never was (CodeRabbit CR-2). It now asserts the pre-state at the named coordinate, gates on the text the replacement *adds* rather than the whole replacement (a replacement that contains its own find string survives by construction), and mandates counting occurrences rather than matching lines. - Scoped the mode to the Step 2 plan-review loop; at Step 6 the artifact is a committed candidate only an executor may edit. - Final Report item 1 now reports whether surgical mode was used. Three tightenings came out of reviewing the fix itself. Condition 1 now says outright that an in-place rewrite preserving every name survives the comparison and is caught only by the whole-artifact re-review, rather than leaving that residual to the commit message. The mode-switch record is append-only, because making the re-review terminate newly created an exit-and-re-enter path, and a fixed per-run path would let a second switch clobber the first and lose the earlier exit. And the record covers each round's findings, not just the entry round's — the last round's classification is the one that decides terminate versus return-to-loop. Knowingly declined, with reasons recorded on the PR: annotating line 26's closed job list (already non-exhaustive of the document's own orchestrator duties in five places, and "loop review steps until clean" covers applying adjudicated findings); rewording line 95's "measure them, do not judge them" (a real overclaim, since conditions 2 and 3 are adjudications, but out of scope and no less true after this change); and CR-3's full per-finding schema (ceremony for a Markdown policy document).

🤖 AI text below 🤖 Fix pushed — declined items, with reasonsThe branch now carries a fix commit resolving the review findings on the surgical-fix-mode subsection, plus CodeRabbit CR-1, CR-2, and CR-3's audit-relevant subset. Its message says the declined items have "reasons recorded on the PR" — two of the three already were, under Optional / cosmetic in the earlier review comment. This records the third, so that claim holds for all of them. Declined: annotating line 26's closed job listLine 26 carries two prohibitions. The first — "The orchestrator never authors content itself" — is quoted verbatim by the surgical-fix-mode exception, so it is reachable by grep from either end. The second is a closed enumeration: "Its only jobs are: spawn agents, route their output to the next step, loop review steps until clean, own the commit, and gracefully cull each spawned agent." That one is quoted nowhere and excepted nowhere, which raised the question of whether it needs the same annotation line 73 got. It does not, and the reason was measured against the file rather than argued: the list is already non-exhaustive of the document's own orchestrator duties, and was so before this PR. Duties the document assigns to "this thread" (per the Roles table) that the list omits:
A list already departed from in that many places is functioning as a summary, not as a closed prohibition, so annotating it for surgical-fix mode alone would be arbitrary — and would imply a completeness the sentence never had. Separately, "loop review steps until clean" already covers applying adjudicated findings between re-reviews, which is what the mode does. The asymmetry with line 73 is therefore deliberate: line 73's phrasing is quoted nowhere else in the document, so its exception is not discoverable without the annotation. Line 26's is. Also declined
Two things worth a maintainer's eyeSurfacing these rather than leaving them to be rediscovered — neither is a defect, and neither was silently closed:

Changes requested — protected instruction surface.
This current head acf91bcea2a35cb948b3217d947ff511e9e6d98a changes .claude/skills/engine-implementer/SKILL.md. Repository policy classifies .claude/skills/** as a hard-stop path, and the contributor-handler protocol requires explicit human maintainer review for external skill/instruction edits. It cannot be automatically approved or merge-enqueued.
Please obtain explicit human maintainer review of this protected instruction change before any further disposition.
CodeRabbit's re-review of the previous fix raised three findings against the surgical-fix mode subsection. All three are addressed here. - The post-edit checks were global. Requiring the added text to be present exactly once, and the old string absent, does not prove the replacement landed at the coordinate the finding named: an edit can delete the old text at its target and insert the replacement somewhere else entirely and still satisfy both. That is not hypothetical - it was reproduced as a mutant, and it passed both checks. The rule now also requires the added text to sit where the old string was. The whole-file occurrence count stays a separate conjunct rather than being rescoped to the line, because that count is what catches a replacement containing its own find string. - The archetype list offered "a missing control" as a spot finding. Four of the five archetypes are non-behavioral by construction and that one was not, so the list invited a classification the condition's own trailing clause already forbids. It now reads "a missing restatement of a control the plan already specifies", which is the narrow case that genuinely cannot change behavior. A control the plan never specified stays a design finding, carried by that trailing clause and by the instruction to dispatch a planner the moment a fix needs a decision. - The mode-switch record promised that every exit is auditable while never recording the exit, and two other rules mandated measurements with no destination at all. The record now names the fields it must carry: each edit's two-sided verification result and sweep boundary, and why the mode ends. Entries are numbered one per round, so a session that exits and re-enters continues the sequence rather than producing an unattributable concatenation. The reviewer also asked for a canonical structured record. The field list is adopted; the tabular framing is not, and the reason is on the PR rather than left silent. Naming an "exit reason" field would have collided with a canonical-receipt key, and that collision is what the surrounding carve-out depends on to stay clear of the prohibition on parallel ledgers. A static scanner flags "measure them, do not judge them" as suppressing warnings. It governs how the three loop-exit conditions are evaluated, not what is disclosed to a user - this same skill mandates a "Validation Failures" heading and self-flagged risks in its final report. Left unchanged, with the reason recorded on the PR. Assisted-by: ClaudeCode:claude-opus-5

Changes requested — this PR changes a protected agent-workflow instruction file and requires explicit human maintainer review.
🔴 Blocker
[HIGH] The entire current diff modifies .claude/skills/engine-implementer/SKILL.md, a protected workflow/instruction surface. Evidence: the current head 6bef9a3fb75956ac4fbc668c71b1838e405e9e79 changes that sole path. Why it matters: this file governs future agent implementation and review behavior; an external contributor change here has fleet-wide operational impact beyond normal code review. Suggested fix: obtain explicit human maintainer review and approval for the exact current diff before any further handling.
Recommendation: request changes — hold this protected-path change for explicit human maintainer review.
CodeRabbit re-reviewed L111 and asked for a reconstructible record: define
one structured entry per round and edit, then make a missing or malformed
record fail final acceptance. The second half was a real hole, measured
rather than assumed.
The record was mandated at L111 and gated nowhere. Step 7 accepts on "the
receipt and every recorded artifact", but the artifact-row enumeration is
closed - source-hash output, authority-diff output, projection output,
command stdout/stderr capture, scoped diff, completion artifact - and the
record is not a member. None of the 20 `accept*` occurrences across 13 lines
mentions surgical mode, and Final Report item 1 names the mode but is scoped
"return after final acceptance", so it reports rather than rejects. The hole
is self-inflicted: the carve-out that keeps the record clear of the
canonical-receipt rule is what excluded it from Step 7's sweep.
- Step 7 gains a conjunct requiring every surgical-fix mode round to have the
complete numbered entry Step 2 requires. It quantifies over rounds, so a
run that never entered the mode has zero of them and is unaffected.
- L111 gains a distribution rule. Without it "complete" was ambiguous in both
directions: read strictly it fails a compliant multi-round episode, since
entry 2 cannot carry an exit reason for a mode that has not exited, and the
natural repair is to fabricate one; read loosely, "complete for whatever
applies" is undefined and the reviewer's objection survives intact. The
articles are indefinite because re-entry continues the same numbered
sequence, so one sequence can hold two entering rounds - "the round that
enters" would license omitting the second episode's switch measurements.
- The recorded verification result is now "(pass or fail)" for "each
attempted edit's". The wording permitted recording only the edits that
applied, so a fix rejected at pre-check could vanish silently; widening the
possessive keeps the new fail branch from being an empty category.
- Those entries are classified as acceptance evidence, never completion-check
rows or receipt artifacts. That is load-bearing, not tidy: the record is
appended to per round and re-entry is reachable, so filing it as an
artifact row with a size and digest would make Step 7's own revalidation
fail on a compliant run.
Declined, with reasons on the PR: the tabular field schema (the receipt is
the only provenance contract, and a second record format competes with it);
exact before/after fingerprints (a per-edit two-sided check is already
mandated, and a digest of the record would be the provenance L111 disclaims);
and per-fragment coordinate evidence (recorded per edit - a failed
conjunction does not identify which fragment failed, and what recovers it is
the existing 1:1-per-fragment count plus the sweep boundary).
Two residuals are disclosed rather than closed. First, a record missing any
round - not only a wholly missing one - can still pass where Step 7 does not
share the authoring context: entries are numbered contiguously, so an omitted
round leaves no gap, and the round count exists nowhere but the record being
audited. An existence-keyed gate would fix it and is reachable, but it flips
the trigger from conditional to unconditional and needs a stub format, which
this skill's own rule makes a design finding rather than a spot fix.
Second, the new sentence supplies exclusivity, not obligation - it says only an
entering round records the switch, never that one must. That obligation still
rests on the older singular "the mode switch", which a second episode can read
as already discharged by the first. Exits have a universal to lean on ("every
exit is then auditable"); switches have no parallel. Inherited rather than
introduced by this change, and held for the same reason as the first.

The orchestrator is that caller and had none — so in practice the loop had no measured exit.
