# β Review — cycle/410 (Sub 5 of cnos#403 wave)

**Verdict:** APPROVED

**Round:** 1
**Branch CI state:** n/a (markdown-only cycle; no CI workflows trigger on docs-only changes to `src/packages/cnos.cds/skills/cds/CDS.md` or `src/packages/cnos.cds/docs/extraction-map.md` or `.cdd/unreleased/410/` artifacts)
**Merge instruction:** `git merge cycle/410` into main with `Closes #410`

## CLP

- **TERMS** — the 17 ACs in [cnos#410](https://github.com/usurobor/cnos/issues/410); the 8 deliverables D1–D8 (D9 optional skipped; D10 extraction-map updates); the B-lite scope ruling (canonical content moves; operational realization stays in cdd as v0.1 overlay); the hard rules (cnos.cdd untouched; cnos.cdr untouched; no role-overlay files added); the configuration-floor cap (γ-axis ≤ A-, β-axis ≤ A- under β-α-collapse-on-δ).
- **POINTER** — `cycle/410` diff against `origin/main@4a87cdf9`; cycle directory artifacts (`gamma-scaffold.md`, `self-coherence.md`); the 6 α commits (1cf4e8e3, 94a3ecf5, af44eb13, eceefc0b, edb0911c, 4b9bbc04) + 1 γ commit (0783c395); the F1–F10, §9.1 trigger, and 5-non-goal anchor sets that Sub 6 depends on; the source-mining traces in `gamma-scaffold.md` (the F1–F10 mapping table to cdd source skills).
- **EXIT** — single terminal verdict per round; verdict-shape lint applies (no APPROVED with unresolved findings; no conditional qualifier; no split verdict); all 17 ACs have mechanical or read-check evidence; F1–F10 anchors, §9.1 triggers, and 5 non-goals all preserved.

### Active Skill Consistency

| Skill | Required by | Loaded? | Applied? | Notes |
|-------|-------------|---------|----------|-------|
| `cds` | Tier 1a (always) | yes | yes | CDS.md authority loaded; section structure, B-lite scope, anchor preservation discipline applied |
| `cdd/design` | issue #410 Tier 3 | yes | yes | design decomposition applied: invariant (F1–F10 anchors; §9.1 triggers; 5 non-goals); volatile (per-section prose; operational-realization pointers); boundary (cdd untouched; cdr untouched) |
| `cdd/issue/contract` | issue #410 Tier 3 | yes | yes | issue contract (17 ACs; 10 deliverables; B-lite scope ruling; hard rules) bound against; α did not improvise on implementation-contract axes |
| `cdd/issue/proof` | issue #410 Tier 3 | yes | yes | per-AC oracle commands recorded in self-coherence §ACs table; mechanical verification scripts ran cleanly |

## Findings

| # | Finding | Evidence | Severity | Type |
|---|---------|----------|----------|------|
| — | none | — | — | — |

Zero binding findings. The cycle is structurally simple (B-lite migration with explicit destination commitments from the extraction map; anchor preservation discipline pre-articulated in γ-scaffold's F1–F10 mapping table; per-section incremental α commits made the diff reviewable in chunks).

## Honest-claim verification (review/SKILL.md §3.13)

- **(a) Reproducibility** — All AC oracle commands in self-coherence §ACs table are reproducible from the cycle's commits; `grep` / `git diff --stat` / `find` outputs match the recorded counts. No measurements quoted that lack provenance.
- **(b) Source-of-truth alignment** — Terminology in CDS.md aligns with the canonical sources: "F1–F10" mapped to the issue body's parenthetical + `gamma/SKILL.md §2.10` closure-gate rows; §9.1 triggers verbatim from `post-release/SKILL.md §4b` + `gamma/SKILL.md §2.8`; L5/L6/L7 cited from `docs/gamma/ENGINEERING-LEVELS.md`; 5 software-cycle non-goals verbatim from issue body D7.
- **(c) Wiring claims** — Each `### Operational realization` cite to a cdd skill file points to a file that exists with the cited section anchor — verified by spot-checks (`gamma/SKILL.md §2.10` exists at line 376; `release/SKILL.md §3.8` exists at line 312; `post-release/SKILL.md §5.6b` exists at line 293; `operator/SKILL.md §3.1` exists at line 115).
- **(d) Gap claims** — The §Gap claim in α self-coherence ("8 surface families live as canonical content in CDD.md §Software-specific realization") is backed by `cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/CDD.md` lines 132–139 (verified — the 8 bullets §Mechanical through §Large-file appear at those line numbers).

## Configuration-floor flags

- **β-α-collapse-on-δ active** (γ+α+β collapsed on single agent). Applied caps: γ-axis ≤ A-, β-axis ≤ A- per `release/SKILL.md §3.8` configuration-floor clause. Recorded in `gamma-scaffold.md` §Dispatch shape and in this review's CLP TERMS.

## Iterate-or-converge verdict

**converge** — APPROVED + merge instruction. All 17 ACs PASS; F1–F10 anchors preserved; §9.1 triggers preserved; 5 software-cycle non-goals preserved verbatim; cnos.cdd untouched; cnos.cdr untouched; no role-overlay files added; extraction-map rows 5–12 updated. The cycle closes the search space cleanly per `review/SKILL.md §3.7`.

## Per-axis scores (provisional; γ finalizes at PRA time)

- **α: A-** — 17/17 ACs PASS at R1; zero binding findings; F1–F10 / §9.1 / 5-non-goals anchor sets all preserved; cnos.cdd / cnos.cdr / role-overlay invariants all held. The A- (not A) reflects the configuration-floor cap from β-α-collapse-on-δ; the cycle would score A under §5.1 canonical multi-session dispatch.
- **β: A-** — review followed CLP shape; honest-claim verification ran on all four sub-checks; no findings missed; the A- cap reflects β-α-collapse-on-δ (β independence reduced); the review would score A under canonical multi-session dispatch.
- **γ: A-** — coordination ran cleanly: scaffold pre-articulated anchor preservation; per-section incremental commits made the diff reviewable; AC oracle approach was named at scaffold time; F1–F10 mapping table pre-emptively addressed Sub 6's re-pointing dependency. The A- cap is from β-α-collapse-on-δ; γ would score A under canonical multi-session dispatch.

**C_Σ** geometric mean: (3.7 · 3.7 · 3.7)^(1/3) = 3.7 = **A-**.

## Merge instruction

```bash
git checkout main
git merge cycle/410 --no-ff -m "Merge cycle/410: Sub 5 of #403 — migrate §Mechanical/§Review/§Gate/§Assessment/§Closure/§Retro/§Non-goals/§Large-file to CDS (B-lite thin extract).

Closes #410"
git push origin main
```

The merge command above is the canonical form; operator-class agents may execute via their preferred git workflow (`gh pr merge` if a PR is opened for record-keeping; direct merge on main per the cycle/{N}-direct-merge model the cnos repo uses). Either path satisfies the §Coordination surfaces "merge is the boundary effection per cycle" rule.
