#5555 — rewrite critique

VERDICT CHECK: correct — request changes. The strongest outcomes are a released direct consumer losing loading feedback and narrow-field text/caret being covered; both are independently confirmed. The measured Effect cost is also a blocking regression under loop 1.5.0.

LENGTH: 140 words excluding image markup → pass. All three inlines are ≤20 words.

VIOLATIONS: none.

EVIDENCE GATES:

• Visual claims have one matched parent/head pair plus one settled control, embedded with sensor receipts.
• The lane regression is confirmed by exact-arm geometry, matched pixels/OCR, and the changed absolute-layout source.
• The Base regression is confirmed by the parent/head accessibility snapshots, the released v0.5.0 export, and the shipped direct-consumer template.
• The Effect cost is confirmed independently by Profiler commits and token-render counts at N=1/6/20.
• Every finding names who is affected, the reachable state, and what worsens.
• Advice is bounded by existing contracts and the adjacent stack precedent; no human-owned API/design decision is left with the author.
• The final question matches the request-changes verdict; the attribution is last; no private control or internal residue appears in public text.

WOULD SHE HAVE POSTED IT: yes.

REWRITE: none — gate 2 passes.

PATTERN

Gate 1’s only defects were self-contradictions between the detailed evidence and its summary. Re-reading the owning slot before finalizing each number and ask resolved them without changing the substantive verdict.
