# Beta Review — Cycle #333

> **RETROACTIVE RECONSTRUCTION** — No in-cycle β review record exists.
> This file reconstructs review state from post-merge inspection of the merged diff.
> Original merge: `6ffdf48a` on 2026-05-08. Reconstruction date: 2026-05-09.

## Statement of Absence

No `beta-review.md` was written during cycle #333. No β review session occurred. The three patches (`efed11e4`, `c48d5a95`, `30c02d1c`) were authored and merged without β review.

This is one of the ≥10 drift items that resulted in the cycle's overall grade of C+ (C_Σ).

## Post-Merge Inspection (retroactive — γ, cycle #335)

The merged diff has been inspected from git history for correctness:

| Patch | Commit | Content assessment |
|---|---|---|
| P1 pre-review gate rows 11–13 | `efed11e4` | Three new gate rows well-formed: artifact enumeration, caller-path trace, test assertion count. No obvious drift. |
| P2 stream-json dispatch requirement | `c48d5a95` | `--output-format stream-json` made mandatory in operator dispatch templates; examples updated. |
| P3 §1.6b re-dispatch prompt complexity | `30c02d1c` | Complexity note added; re-dispatch flow clarified. Patch is small and correct. |

No binding review findings identified in retroactive inspection. Patches are technically correct. The deficit is process (no review occurred), not content.

## Verdict (retroactive)

APPROVED (retroactive) — content is correct; process was skipped.

**Review rounds: 0** (no in-cycle β review took place)
