## §2.0 Issue Contract

### AC Coverage
| # | AC | In diff? | Status | Notes |
|---|----|----------|--------|-------|
| AC1 | §3.3 contains explicit positive conjunction rule: APPROVED = AC coverage AND zero unresolved findings | yes | MET | New first bullet of §3.3 states conjunction explicitly: "(a) all issue ACs are met and (b) zero findings at any severity remain unresolved" |
| AC2 | Severity table consistent with updated §3.3 — no contradiction, no duplicate text | yes | MET | Severity table unchanged; §3.3 bullet references it ("the Severity table declares…") without duplicating rows |

### Named Doc Updates
| Doc / File | In diff? | Status | Notes |
|------------|----------|--------|-------|
| `src/packages/cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/review/SKILL.md` | yes | present | Exactly one bullet added at top of §3.3 |
| `.cdd/unreleased/347/self-coherence.md` | yes | present | α artifact |

### CDD Artifact Contract
| Artifact | Required? | Present? | Notes |
|----------|-----------|----------|-------|
| self-coherence.md | yes | yes | Covers both ACs with evidence |
| beta-review.md | yes | yes (this file) | |

### Active Skill Consistency
| Skill | Required by | Loaded? | Applied? | Notes |
|-------|-------------|---------|----------|-------|
| review/SKILL.md | orchestrator | yes | yes | This file is the subject of the change |

## Findings

| # | Finding | Evidence | Severity | Type |
|---|---------|----------|----------|------|

No findings.

## Regressions Required (D-level only)

None.

## Notes

- Diff is minimal: one bullet added to §3.3 of SKILL.md, plus self-coherence.md. No other sections touched.
- Exception clause ("deferred by design scope") preserved verbatim at the end of §3.3.
- New conjunction bullet correctly cross-references the Severity table without duplicating it — no redundancy or contradiction.
- The existing bullets ("There is no 'approved with follow-up.'" and "D findings block merge. C/B/A findings must be fixed on-branch before merge.") remain coherent with and complementary to the new conjunction statement.
- APPROVED+unresolved-finding is now explicitly declared an invalid verdict form, closing the gap the issue identified.
