# Requirements: v2.5 Staged-L2 Review Reentry Coherence

## Milestone Goal

Make staged-`L2` review reentry coherent enough that, after the first
fresh-topic L1->L2 follow-through lands, benign `continue` steering no longer
looks like blocking human control and public surfaces stay focused on the
review workflow itself.

## Active Requirements

### Continue-Steering Neutrality

- [x] `SRR-01`: after the first fresh-topic L1->L2 follow-through lands,
  benign `continue` steering does not leave `h_plane` or equivalent operator
  posture surfaces in a blocking human-control state.

- [x] `SRR-02`: `open_next` / equivalent primary reentry pointers continue to
  target staged-L2 review even while durable `continue` steering artifacts
  remain present.

### Public Reentry Surface Coherence

- [x] `SRR-03`: public `next`, `status`, and dashboard surfaces remain aligned
  on the staged-L2 review reentry point under non-blocking `continue`
  steering.

### Replayable Proof

- [x] `SRR-04`: one replayable fresh-topic proof shows the same topic can
  continue from staged-L2 review under benign `continue` steering without
  surfacing false human-control blockage.

## Out of Scope

| Feature | Reason |
|---------|--------|
| Reopening first-source registration or first literature staging from `v2.4` | treat `v2.4` as the current baseline unless a fresh regression appears |
| Broad multi-lane real-topic widening across formal, toy, and first-principles routes | `v2.5` stays on same-topic reentry posture after staged-L2 review |
| Promotion / authoritative writeback of the staged rows | reentry posture must be coherent before later promotion work widens again |
| Deep verification-route selection or execution handoff after reentry | keep the milestone bounded to the immediate staged-L2 review continuation |

## Traceability
