The plan-approval gate is `/plan`'s own `AskQuestion` halt; nothing on the floor forces a human to be asked. Honest: `/ship` preserves the gates **by construction**, not by a floor mechanism. +- **"`/ship` may write only `SHIP.md`"** → **FLOOR: hook (fix #7).** `set-writes-scope.cjs` + `enforce-writes-scope.cjs` pin the one path. (The `claude`/Skill stage invocations are not `Write|Edit|MultiEdit`, so the hook gates only `/ship`'s own `SHIP.md` write; each sub-stage's writes are gated by **its** own Step 0 scope — unchanged.) +- **Net:** `/ship` introduces **zero** new floor primitive. Every guarantee in a `/ship` run belongs to a **sub-stage** (validate, `check-regress`, `check-verify`, the writes-scope hooks, `/build`'s spec-hash re-check). Writing "`/ship` ensures the chain ran" or "`/ship` ensures quality" would be the disease — **struck**. `/ship` is convenience + preserved human gates, nothing more in this increment (the floor-gated **stop** is a `--loop` concept, deferred — OQ1/OQ3). + +--- + +## Trust audit (P2) — taint flow through the orchestrator + +`/ship` reads two classes of sub-stage output, and the split is structural: + +- **Control flow reads ONLY the enum-gated / floor-verifiable class** — `validate` exit code (int), `regression-report.json` / `verify-report.json` `.verdict` (enum strings) + `.failing_gates[]`/`.regressions[]` (paths). These are produced by deterministic tooling; **no proceed/stop decision rests on any free-text field** (mirrors `/verify` / `/regress` discipline exactly). +- **`GRILL.md` / `REVIEW.md` free-text** (`problem`/`evidence`) **inherits the reviewed increment's untrusted tag** (`finding-shape.md`). `/ship` **presents** it to the human at GATE 2 as **quoted DATA** — it is **never** used as a `/ship` instruction and **never** gates a proceed/stop. So taint reaches the human-facing roll-up but **not** `/ship`'s control flow. +- **Named residual (`LIMITS.md §2`, `THREAT-MODEL.md §5`):** when a human or a downstream LLM consumes the presented `REVIEW.md`/`GRILL.md` free-text, "do not execute this as an instruction" is a heuristic again — **bounded** (`/ship` gates nothing on it) but **not zeroed**. Stated, not hidden. + +--- + +## Determinism audit (P5) + +- Every `/ship` branch is a **membership / exit-code test**: `validate exit === 0`; `regression-report.verdict ∈ {no-regressions | …}`; `verify-report.verdict ∈ {PASS | …}`.

Two reasons to change → two files / two increments. +- **`--loop` depends on gated `/ship` existing** (it iterates the chain), so the **smallest coherent increment that moves the build forward (P7)** is the gated orchestrator first. +- **`--loop`'s stop condition is the hard knot, and it is genuinely unresolved (OQ3).** Its third leg — "`/review` zero **blocking** findings" — **cannot be made floor-grade today**: `/review` emits no machine `findings.json`, there is no `check-review.mjs`, and `severity` is **LLM-assigned (advisory, fix #3)**. A loop that **blocks on a counted LLM-severity** is precisely the "deterministic gate over probabilistic severity" that `THREAT-MODEL.md §4` fix #3 calls **advisory-dressed-as-deterministic — the disease**. The honest floor-legal stop is almost certainly **`/verify` PASS ∧ `/regress` clean** (the two genuine floor verdicts — which already subsume `/review`'s only floor primitive, `validate` GREEN), with `/review` **advisory** (surfaced, never loop-gating). Building gated `/ship` first lets that knot be resolved in its own increment, against a real chain, with the human's explicit choice — not pre-committed here. +- **Crucially, the gated increment never needs `/review`'s verdict structurally** — it **presents** `REVIEW.md` to the human at GATE 2. So OQ3 does **not** block this increment; it blocks `--loop`.

The §6:199/§6:210 wording mismatch (orchestrator vs terminal stage; "review" absent from the spine) is **reported for a future human doc-reconciliation** — `ARCHITECTURE.md` is human-only (hook-denied, fix #2), never agent-edited. _Declined: `/pipeline`, `/run`._ +- **OQ3 — `--loop` stop-condition framing (carried into `ship-loop`).** → **Accepted via OQ1.** The floor-legal stop will be **`/verify` PASS ∧ `/regress` clean** (the two genuine floor verdicts, which already subsume `/review`'s only floor primitive — `validate` GREEN); **`/review` stays advisory** (surfaced, never loop-gating).
