## Pre-Review Gates

| Gate | Result | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Beta identity | pass | `git config --get user.email` returned `beta@cdd.cnos`. |
| Fresh base | pass | `git fetch --verbose origin main` reported `origin/main` up to date. |
| Gamma scaffold | pass | `.cdd/unreleased/358/gamma-scaffold.md` exists on `origin/cycle/358-gpt`. |
| CI / tests | not run | Markdown-only skill/spec change; no local test runner applies. |

## AC Review

| AC | Result | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| STATUS file format and lifecycle added | pass | `CDD.md` defines proposal layouts, append-only `STATUS`, lifecycle events, no-rewrite rule, source lineage, and landed feedback. |
| Gamma scans proposals during observation/selection | pass | `gamma/SKILL.md` Step 1a scans both source proposal path families, reads `ISSUE.md`/`PATCH.diff`, checks target state, decides accepted/modified/rejected, and updates `STATUS` or emits a patch. |
| Gamma close-out handles landed proposals | pass | `gamma/SKILL.md` Step 8-9 requires landed status or feedback patch for accepted/modified proposals touched by a cycle. |
| Post-release checklist item added | pass | `post-release/SKILL.md` contains `Cross-repo proposal status updated or feedback patch emitted.` |
| Optional Source Proposal block added | pass | `issue/SKILL.md` includes an optional `## Source Proposal` block and checklist row for source path, source commit, disposition, and modified delta. |
| Minimal docs/skill scope | pass | No runtime code, CI, generated index, command spec, activation scaffolding, or migration was added. |

## Findings

None.

## Merge Instruction

Do not merge in this review pass. If the operator later authorizes integration, beta may merge `cycle/358-gpt` into `main` after re-running the standard freshness and merge-readiness gates.
