Two reviewers raised five defects. Every one was reproduced here before being
accepted; none were rebutted.
F-A (claude, blocking) -- the CAS table had no row for two transitions the
wrapper legitimately makes, so `submit --type loop|discuss` silently stopped
working by default: the per-iteration re-dispatch was refused and its metadata
discarded, the exhausted-budget finalisation was refused, and the CLI returned 0
both times. Reproduced against the real modules. Fixed by naming those
transitions rather than carving an exception: `redispatch` and `finalize` are
requests gated on operator authority, so the wrapper can move a finished record
while an agent still cannot touch its own terminal. A re-dispatch must advance
the iteration, so a replay cannot resurrect a job. The operator CLI now exits
non-zero with a reason when a write is refused -- the silence is what let this
hide.
F-B (claude) -- moving the audit mirror out of the lock made status.json
last-writer-wins, so a slow flush could leave it behind the registry. It now
carries transition_seq and skips a write that would go backwards, restoring the
sequential consistency the lock used to provide for free.
R1 (codex, blocking) -- the policy called attribution with only the dispatch
record, so it proved the record was well-formed and never confronted the
identifiers the evidence carried. A finalized scenario with a different session,
a different attempt and a manifest from another attempt was still approved.
Observed identifiers are now collected from the timeline and every one must
agree; a manifest belonging to another attempt holds. Collecting every
occurrence rather than the first matters, because taking the first would drop
exactly the contradicting value this is meant to catch.
R2 (codex, blocking) -- a supplied expected_attempt was ignored when the record
had no attempt field, so a compare-and-swap with nothing to compare committed.
It now fails closed, which matters because 2b plans to gate inferred completion
on precisely that precondition.
R3 (codex) -- a status could ride in as an ordinary field, so `progress` could
commit a terminal from inside the boundary that exists to prevent it. Status is
now settable only by the request that owns it, unknown requests are refused, and
pending has an owning request instead of being an untyped merge.
Each of the eleven new regressions was checked against the pre-fix code first.

policy.decide is a pure function so the phase-0 scenario fixtures can be fed to
it verbatim. Those seven decisions survived three-reviewer scrutiny, so they are
the contract rather than a fresh set of rules, and the test asserts against
expected_policy.decision directly.
Order inside the policy matters. Transport doubt and staleness invalidate the
evidence itself, so they are answered before anything is inferred from it; a
blocked agent is waiting for a human and can never be completed; attribution
including the execution anchor comes before quiescence, because idle is not
evidence of finishing when a session is reused; and a report must be finalized,
never merely paused, since a debounce is a candidate filter and not an authority.
The shadow runner is never handed the engine, so it has no route to a write.
That is the structural half of P2A-03. The measured half hashes every file under
the registry directory around a full run and asserts it is unchanged, which is a
stronger claim than checking a status field.
Adds the five scenarios P2A-04 requires: a raced double dispatch, a reused
attempt with no anchor, a mid-write report, an unknown status, and a pane
restarted mid-flight. They pass phase 0's own fixture validator, which is what
keeps them honest. The phase-0 test that pinned exactly seven scenarios now
requires the seven to still exist rather than forbidding growth.
Also pins the two phase 1 handoffs as dormant: nothing here spawns a daemon, so
preexec_fn stays unreachable, and nothing calls a frozen shell helper.
