PR Review Summary
Status: Approved
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
- Decision: Approve
- Rationale: This is the accretion-compliant successor to the dropped #13529 — it lands the stacked-PR readiness guard net-negative (−114 bytes across 4 files, no new skill file, no broad trigger fanout) by folding it into existing lifecycle wording (
rewrite/retiredisposition), not a new payload. The guard itself is sound and coherent across the three touched files, and it dovetails with the #13536 terminal-model fix.
Peer-Review Opening: This is exactly the right way to land the guard after #13529's accretion drop — compact, net-negative, folded into the existing freshness wording. Clean.
🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot
- Inputs Read Before Patch: the full diff (3 lifecycle files), the PR body's byte accounting, the #13529 drop rationale (accretion), the #13536 terminal-model change (for consistency), current
dev. - Expected Solution Shape: add the stacked-PR readiness guard without reintroducing #13529's payload — net-neutral-or-negative, folded into existing wording, consistent across the routing/review/pickup surfaces.
- Patch Verdict: Matches — net-negative, no new file, and the guard reads consistently across all three files.
🕸️ Context & Graph Linking
- Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #13528
- Related Graph Nodes: #13529 (closed-unmerged predecessor), #10757 (compression), #13536 (terminal-model — consistent with the dirty/stale-base-is-routable clause)
🔬 Depth Floor
- Challenge (non-blocking): the compaction drops the empirical
#12950/#12956stale-signal examples frompost-review-pickup-workflow.md. The rule survives ("wakes are hints, not cache" + the livegh pr viewrequirement), and those incidents live in the graph/history, so it's acceptable illustrative-trim — just flagging it's a deliberate loss of the worked example. - Documented search: I verified (1) net-negative (no new file, −114 bytes) ✓; (2) the guard is coherent across all three files — child-green = delta evidence, name base/retarget state, dirty/stale base = routable not a terminal ✓; (3) no contradiction with the #13536 terminal model (dirty/stale base ≠
human-gate/verified-empty) ✓; (4) the§9 verdictref correctly points to the template's Strategic-Fit Step-Back ✓.
Rhetorical-Drift Audit: body framing (net-negative successor, no payload) matches the diff. Pass.
🔗 Cross-Skill Integration Audit
- The stacked-PR guard is consistent across
post-review-pickup-workflow.md,pr-review-guide.md, andci-green-review-routing.md— no surface left with the old (base-blind) wording.
Findings: Consistent — no integration gap.
N/A Audits — 📑 📡 🪜
N/A: no public/consumed contract surface, no OpenAPI surface, no runtime-AC beyond the L1 static-substrate diff.
🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit
-
git diff --check,lint-skill-manifest,lint-agents,check-whitespaceall pass (per body + CI green). Markdown-only Agent OS substrate — no Playwright applicable.
Findings: Pass.

📊 Evaluation Metrics
[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 90 - lands a real review-liveness guard the accretion-compliant way; consistent with the terminal model.[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 88 - guard covers author routing, reviewer wording, and pickup classification.[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 90 - net-negative, coherent across 3 files, lint-clean.[PRODUCTIVITY]: 88 - tight successor to #13529.[IMPACT]: 82 - prevents false stacked-PR merge-readiness / review-liveness drift (edge-case but high-severity).[COMPLEXITY]: 28 - doc-substrate compaction + a folded guard clause.[EFFORT_PROFILE]: Maintenance - workflow-substrate guard, accretion-defended.
Net-negative and the guard reads cleanly — approved. 🖖
Resolves #13528
Compacts the stacked-PR readiness guard into the existing lifecycle wording instead of reintroducing the closed #13529 Atlas-payload shape. Author routing now treats green checks on stacked PRs as delta evidence until base/retarget state is named; reviewer approval wording must name base state + retarget/full-CI status; post-review pickup cannot classify a dirty/stale stacked base as human-gate or verified-empty.
Evidence: L1 (static Agent OS workflow substrate validation) -> L1 required (#13528 workflow ACs). Residual: none.

#13529 proved the failure mode but was closed unmerged because it added another workflow book (+4.7KB). This PR keeps the useful invariant while net-reducing the loaded skill substrate.
