Branch: cycle/370

Predecessor doctrine + design peer (read as source of truth for coverage judgement):
  src/packages/cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/COHERENCE-CELL.md — receipt rule, four-way separation, role-as-cell-function
  src/packages/cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/RECEIPT-VALIDATION.md — V's interface, verdict/decision distinction, δ-authoritative validation
  src/packages/cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/CDD.md — canonical algorithm; verify this cycle does not touch it

Target artifact under review:
  src/packages/cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/COHERENCE-CELL-NORMAL-FORM.md (NEW; α-authored on cycle/370)

Git identity:
  git config user.name "beta"
  git config user.email "beta@cdd.cnos"

Scaffold reference: .cdd/unreleased/370/gamma-scaffold.md carries γ's gap, peer enumeration, mode, acceptance posture, the nine γ-flagged failure modes, and dispatch configuration. Read it alongside α's self-coherence.md when judging AC coverage. Issue body remains the binding contract.

Review surface (compressed; β skill is authoritative):
- All 9 ACs must map to evidence in α's self-coherence.md and to inspectable content in COHERENCE-CELL-NORMAL-FORM.md.
- AC3 evidence-binding rule is load-bearing: β must verify β's signature explicitly excludes evidence and δ's signature explicitly excludes evidence. Receipt-as-typed-handoff must survive — if γ.close and V are collapsed into one step, return RC.
- AC4 four-outcome table must match #369 AC4 (verdict × decision preconditions). `invalid` must be non-terminal. `degraded` must require `verdict ≠ PASS ∧ decision = override`, not "any override".
- AC5 within-scope (repair-dispatch) vs cross-scope (accept/degraded) must be clearly distinguished. If they conflate ("recursion = scope advance" without the within-scope sub-case), return RC.
- AC6 three projections — closed cell → α-matter; δ → β-discrimination; ε → γ-coordination/evolution — plus the projection-not-renaming framing plus the β/γ-no-upward-projection clause. All three required.
- AC7 substrate-independence: run the literal awk + rg snippet from the issue body. The section headers must be EXACTLY `## Kernel`, `## Cell Outcomes`, `## Recursion Modes`, `## Scope-Lift`. If they differ, the awk silently extracts nothing and the rg trivially passes — verify the awk output is non-empty before judging the rg.
- AC8 two-layer separation with four explicit citations: `RECEIPT-VALIDATION.md`, `schemas/cdd/` (#369), `cn-cdd-verify` (Phase 3, deferred), `CDD.md` (Phase 7 rewrite, deferred).
- AC9 surface-containment: run `git diff origin/main..HEAD --stat` and confirm exactly {COHERENCE-CELL-NORMAL-FORM.md (A), .cdd/unreleased/370/*.md}. Any other file is a binding finding.
- AC2 literal tokens "draft doctrine", "COHERENCE-CELL.md", and "RECEIPT-VALIDATION.md" must be present with explicit framing as kernel-layer companion.
- Doc length target 200–400 lines. Drift beyond 400 lines is a process signal, not a binding finding by itself; assess whether the kernel is leaking operational content.
- No angle-bracket placeholders in doc body (rendering hazard).

Target round count: ≤1 review round (docs-only convention; cycle #364, #367 precedent).

Pre-merge gate (beta/SKILL.md): run the full row-by-row check before merging. The cycle is docs-only; gate row 2 (canonical-skill staleness fetch) and row 3 (non-destructive merge-test against current origin/main) still apply.

AC7 verification recipe (run literally, do not paraphrase):

    awk '/^## (Kernel|Cell Outcomes|Recursion Modes|Scope-Lift)/ {keep=1} /^## / && !/^## (Kernel|Cell Outcomes|Recursion Modes|Scope-Lift)/ {keep=0} keep {print}' src/packages/cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/COHERENCE-CELL-NORMAL-FORM.md > /tmp/ccnf-kernel.md
    wc -l /tmp/ccnf-kernel.md      # must be > 0 — confirms awk extracted content
    rg -i '\b(github|cue|cn-cdd-verify|cn dispatch|claude|gh)\b' /tmp/ccnf-kernel.md && echo FAIL || echo PASS

If `wc -l` reports 0 lines, the section headers diverged from the awk pattern — that itself is an AC7 finding (return RC and ask α to align headers to the canonical four).

Integration: on APPROVE, merge cycle/370 into main per beta/SKILL.md §1, write beta-review.md + beta-closeout.md to .cdd/unreleased/370/, exit. Do not tag — γ-acting-as-δ owns the release boundary this cycle (δ split has not landed yet).
