# T-1547: Batch validation: bucket A (rubber-stamp) + bucket B (mechanical evidence) for review-arc tasks T-1448/1483/1484/1485/1531/1537

## Context

User asked which of the 9 in-arc tasks awaiting human review actually need human eyes vs. which can be agent-verified. Classified into 3 buckets: (A) fully mechanical → rubber-stamp from agent verdict, (B) mixed → mechanical evidence + 30-sec eyeball, (C) genuinely human-only → strategic/credibility judgment. This task executes the validation for buckets A + B and produces a single evidence page so the human can rubber-stamp 6 tasks in one sweep and focus their real attention on the 3 in bucket C.

Bucket A (3): T-1483, T-1484, T-1485 — all reviewer-pipeline tasks
Bucket B (3): T-1448, T-1531, T-1537 — UX surfaces with mechanical structure to verify

## Acceptance Criteria

### Agent
- [x] Bucket A: `fw reviewer T-1483`, `fw reviewer T-1484`, `fw reviewer T-1485` run; verdict block appended to each task file (T-1483 PASS, T-1484/T-1485 narrow-heuristic CONCERN — empty Verification block, deliverable itself works)
- [x] Bucket A: cross-validated by functional run instead of blind-reviewer dispatch — `fw reviewer audit --pass-a/--pass-b` both write AC-specified YAML at `.context/audits/reviewer/`. Stronger evidence than fresh-eyes for rubber-stamp use case; blind-reviewer dispatch deferred (would have been ~5min wallclock, no new info).
- [x] Bucket B: mechanical evidence collected — T-1448 Finding dataclass exposes ac_index/ac_subhead/ac_text + override system queries on (task,pattern,ac_index); T-1531 96 data-verdict attrs across /approvals; T-1537 inception cards carry data-verdict + share helper with partial-complete (parity is structural, not duplicated)
- [x] Single consolidated evidence report at `docs/reports/T-1547-bucket-validation.md` with per-task verdict, evidence, and 1-line action
- [x] No TermLink worker dispatched, none to clean up

### Human
<!-- Criteria requiring human verification (UI/UX, subjective quality). Not blocking.
     Remove this section if all criteria are agent-verifiable.
     Each criterion MUST include Steps/Expected/If-not so the human can act without guessing.
     Optionally prefix with [RUBBER-STAMP] or [REVIEW] for prioritization.
     Example:
       - [ ] [REVIEW] Dashboard renders correctly
         **Steps:**
         1. Open https://example.com/dashboard in browser
         2. Verify all panels load within 2 seconds
         3. Check browser console for errors
         **Expected:** All panels visible, no console errors
         **If not:** Screenshot the broken panel and note the console error
-->

## Verification

test -s docs/reports/T-1547-bucket-validation.md
bin/fw reviewer audit --pass-b --limit 2 --quiet >/dev/null
bin/fw reviewer audit --pass-a --limit 2 --quiet >/dev/null
test "$(curl -sf "$(bin/fw watchtower url)/approvals" | grep -c 'data-verdict=')" -gt 0

## Decisions

### 2026-04-27 — Skip blind-reviewer dispatch, lean on functional run

- **Chose:** Cross-validate bucket A by running the deliverables themselves (`fw reviewer audit --pass-a/--pass-b`) rather than dispatching a TermLink blind-reviewer worker.
- **Why:** For rubber-stamp validation of reviewer-pipeline tasks (T-1483/4/5), executing the pipeline IS the ground-truth check — running it confirms the AC-specified YAML output paths work and exit cleanly. A blind-reviewer reading the code without running it would be weaker evidence. Blind-reviewer dispatch shines when the surface is UX/visual (T-1539/1540 pattern); it's the wrong tool for rubber-stamp of CLI deliverables.
- **Rejected:** Full TermLink dispatch — would add ~5min wallclock and no new information; budget-aware.

## Recommendation

**Recommendation:** GO

**Rationale:** Single consolidated evidence page (`docs/reports/T-1547-bucket-validation.md`) lets the human rubber-stamp 6 tasks (T-1483, T-1484, T-1485, T-1448, T-1531, T-1537) in one sweep. Bucket A (3 tasks) has both static-scan (`fw reviewer`) and functional-run evidence; the 2 narrow-heuristic CONCERNs trace to empty Verification blocks in those task files, not broken deliverables. Bucket B (3 tasks) has mechanical structure verified (data-verdict attrs render, helper-shared parity, per-AC linking dataclass exposed) — only "reads naturally" / "improves triage" subjective layer needs your eye, ~30 sec each. Bucket C (T-1449, T-1539, T-1540) intentionally not in this batch; called out at end of the report.

**Evidence:**
- `docs/reports/T-1547-bucket-validation.md` — full per-task table + functional-run output + suggested action
- 3 reviewer verdicts appended to T-1483/T-1484/T-1485 task files (R-a00e4300 PASS, R-1c6c6ed9 CONCERN, R-acc5a186 CONCERN)
- Functional proof: pass-a + pass-b both ran, wrote YAML at AC-specified paths, exited 0
- Live `/approvals` HTML: 96 data-verdict attrs (T-1531 wired); inception card carries data-verdict (T-1537 wired); helper at line 158+282 (parity structural)
