# Phase 168 Verification

## Goal Verdict

Passed. The phase goal was to expand the analytical review contract so bounded
analytical checks become first-class rows with explicit context instead of only
living in a flatter aggregate review payload. The stored `checks[]` rows now
carry durable row-level context, analytical mode wording is aligned to the
expanded check taxonomy, and the current analytical-review CLI/bundle path
remains on a green compatibility baseline.

## Must-Haves

- [x] analytical checks now exist as first-class durable rows with their own
  source anchors and assumption or regime context
- [x] review-level status, counts, and summary remain available as compatibility
  rollups derived from the richer row set
- [x] the current analytical-review CLI/service path and primary
  validation-review-bundle behavior remain compatible

## Evidence

- `python -m pytest research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_aitp_service.py::AITPServiceTests::test_audit_analytical_review_writes_durable_artifact_and_updates_candidate research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_aitp_service.py::AITPServiceTests::test_prepare_verification_analytical_uses_analytical_review_as_primary_bundle research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_aitp_cli.py -k "analytical_review" -q`
  - `3 passed`
- `python -m pytest research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_aitp_cli_e2e.py::AITPCLIE2ETests::test_analytical_review_cli_writes_artifact_and_becomes_primary_bundle_surface -q`

  - `4 passed`
- `python research/knowledge-hub/runtime/scripts/run_analytical_judgment_surface_acceptance.py --json`
  - `success`

## Notes

- `analytical_review.json` remains the durable theory-packet artifact, but the
  durable truth is now row-first inside `checks[]`
- `source_cross_reference` is now part of the accepted analytical check
  taxonomy
- runtime/read-path analytical cross-check rendering and the new bounded proof
  lane remain intentionally deferred to Phase `168.1`
