Review Loop Version

Astryx review loop version

Current: 1.3.1 · effective 2026-08-26

This is one version for the whole review system: reviewer brief, critic rules, loop mechanics, review presentation, and delivery contract. The files do not version independently.

Every new review presentation records:

LOOP VERSION: 1.3.1

The version is the one active when gate 1 starts. A review already in progress keeps its starting version through its critic passes; a fresh rerun after a kit change takes the new version. Historical reviews before this file are unversioned (pre-1.0); do not relabel them retroactively.

Bump policy

• Major (2.0.0) — trust or authority changes: auto-post/auto-merge policy, who may decide API/design, or what the loop is allowed to mutate.
• Minor (1.1.0) — judgement can change: a new/removed slot, verdict gate, blocking rule, evidence requirement, author bucket, architecture/system rule, or changed severity/disposition.
• Patch (1.0.1) — same judgement, clearer operation: wording, citations, examples, command fixes, link corrections, or a detection recipe that does not change what passes.

Bump before the changed rule is used. Update this history, propagate all kit mirrors in the same turn, and include the new version in every new Review-* record. Metrics compare reviews within a version; cross-version changes are reported separately rather than treated as reviewer drift.

History

Version	Date	What changed
1.3.1	2026-08-26	Screenshot receipt operation tightened without changing obligation/severity: mutated arms bank an inspected exact diff, expectations are authored before observation and never loosened to match output, and semantic state reads avoid hidden measurement copies. Same judgement as 1.3.0.
1.3.0	2026-08-26	Every review makes an evidence-based screenshot obligation decision: manual frames, exact-head visual gate with named endpoint-story coverage, or not applicable with non-rendering path proof. Visual checks may be minimal, but may never be silently omitted or guessed from labels/source.
1.2.0	2026-08-26	Visual evidence now requires fail-closed screenshot sensor receipts: build, story, rendered theme/mode, direction, viewport/media, semantic state, geometry, settled render, and capture errors. Before/after must match on every sensor except Build; missing receipts make the visual slot not looked at.
1.1.0	2026-08-25	Human-owned decisions are a hard pre-post gate; AUTHOR CAN PROCEED separates missing direction from proven outcome-based asks; advice must be cited or driven; private merge controls and private-residue handling moved to the local-only companion and are excluded from public review text/records.
1.0.0	2026-08-25	First versioned baseline: plain-language SOLUTION model; per-slot verdicts; ARCHITECTURE routing and driven seam checks; behavior-unit/lifecycle ownership; GOAL, DISPOSITION, ADVICE, and WORST OUTCOME gates; narrow Needs-human safety valve; teammate review-presentation links; reviewer→critic loop with up to three passes.
pre-1.0	2026-08-16–2026-08-25	Unversioned calibration and rule development. Existing review records remain unversioned.
