# v2.5 Milestone Audit

Status: passed

## Scope Closed

- Phase `179`: Continue-Steering Neutrality
- Phase `179.1`: Public Staged-L2 Reentry Surface Coherence
- Phase `179.2`: Fresh Staged-L2 Reentry Replay Proof

## Requirements Coverage

Score: `4/4` requirements satisfied

- `SRR-01` satisfied by Phase `179` through benign `continue` steering that no
  longer raises `h_plane.overall_status` into blocking human-control posture.
- `SRR-02` satisfied by Phase `179` through preserving staged-L2 review as the
  selected bounded route while the H-plane remains steady.
- `SRR-03` satisfied by Phase `179.1` through public `next` / `status`
  alignment on staged-L2 review under benign reentry steering.
- `SRR-04` satisfied by Phase `179.2` through one isolated replay packet that
  proves same-topic staged-L2 review reentry under benign `continue`
  steering.

## Verification Evidence

- Phase `179` continue-steering neutrality:
  - `pytest-h-plane-audit.txt`: `1 passed, 156 deselected in 0.24s`
  - `pytest-runtime-bundle.txt`: `1 passed, 22 deselected in 0.21s`
- Phase `179.1` public reentry alignment:
  - `receipt.md`: public `next` and `status` both stay on
    `Inspect the current L2 staging manifest before continuing.` while
    `h_plane.overall_status = steady`
- Phase `179.2` replay proof:
  - `pytest-reentry-acceptance.txt`: `1 passed, 84 deselected in 5.77s`
  - `staged-l2-reentry-acceptance.json`: public `next` and `status` both
    remain on `Inspect the current L2 staging manifest before continuing.`
    with `topic_local_staged_hit_count = 1`

## Cross-Phase Integration

- Phase `179` first neutralized the misleading H-plane posture so benign
  `continue` steering remained visible but non-blocking.
- Phase `179.1` then proved that public reentry surfaces stay aligned on the
  staged-L2 review workflow itself under that steady posture.
- Phase `179.2` closed the milestone with one durable replay packet so the
  repaired same-topic reentry baseline is mechanically replayable.

## Audit Notes

- This milestone stayed narrow: it closes staged-L2 review reentry posture
  coherence, not broader post-review execution or promotion work.
- No unsatisfied requirement remains in the `v2.5` traceability table.
- The repaired baseline now keeps benign `continue` steering visible without
  letting it masquerade as a blocking human-control state.

## Accepted Open Gaps

- After staged-L2 review is already visible, a later benign `continue` still
  leaves the queue and public surfaces on the same static review summary
  instead of advancing to the next bounded post-review step.
- The same fresh topic has not yet been proven to advance beyond staged-L2
  review into one bounded topic-local staged-memory consultation step.
