- Reviewer decision loop: approve / reject (default Tier 2) / more evidence; decisions recorded in VALIDATION.md
- Blocked surfaces: customer-facing block = finding or documented limitation, never a bare marker
- Pre-delivery consistency gate: count match, evidence present, identity match
- Required artifact set per run; deviations require dated decision record
- Gilmore: exec summary corrected 2->3 to match findings; VALIDATION.md added with reviewer dispositions
