# Beta Close-out — Cycle #342

## Review context

**Issue:** cdd/operator: Add §5 — Dispatch configurations (single-session δ-as-γ via Agent tool, Claude Code activation)
**Mode:** design-and-build
**Files changed:** `operator/SKILL.md` (§5 added, §5→§6 §6→§7 §7→§8 §8→§9 renumber), `release/SKILL.md` (§3.8 floor clause added)

Round 1 verdict: APPROVED. No D, C, or B findings. One below-coherence-bar observation (N1: character inconsistency "A-" vs "A−" in §3.8 — same grade, same rendering, not blocking).

## Narrowing pattern across rounds

Single round (R1 → APPROVED). α's self-coherence was thorough: all five pre-merge AC oracles confirmed with exact line references; 14/14 pre-review gate rows passed; known debt (AC6) correctly scoped as γ's post-merge obligation. β had no gaps to request changes on.

## β-side findings

No findings in the review record. The one N1 observation (character consistency note) is below the coherence bar and is noted for maintainability only.

## Cycle notes for γ

- AC6 (recursive coherence) is the critical post-merge check: γ's `gamma-closeout.md` must declare §5.1 or §5.2 as this cycle's dispatch configuration and apply the §3.8 floor to this cycle's own γ grade. The AC6 oracle fires at close-out time.
- The A-level character observation (N1) is available for γ's triage but does not constitute a finding requiring action.
- Disconnect path: docs-only per §2.5b; `.cdd/unreleased/342/` moves to `.cdd/releases/docs/{ISO-date}/342/` in the merge commit (δ's task at disconnect).
