# R016 Code Review — Step 5

Verdict: REVISE

## Findings

### 1. R015 is recorded as approved even though the review file says `REVISE`

`STATUS.md` lists `R015 | plan | 5 | APPROVE` and repeats the same outcome in the notes (`STATUS.md:169`, `STATUS.md:218`), but the committed review artifact says `Verdict: REVISE` (`.reviews/R015-plan-step5.md:3`). This makes the task history inaccurate and hides an unresolved blocking plan review.

Please correct the review table/execution notes to record R015 as `REVISE`, then either add the requested plan hydration and obtain/record a subsequent approving review, or keep Step 5 blocked until that happens.

### 2. Step 5 was marked complete without executing or documenting the required verification matrix

The Step 5 checkboxes are now all checked (`STATUS.md:131-135`), but the validation notes only document MCPB validation with `@latest`, one package command, archive inspection, and the three repo gates (`STATUS.md:139-141`). That does not satisfy the explicit Step 5 plan-review requirements in R015, which called out pinned MCPB CLI validation/package, `git diff --check`, `bash -n`/optional `shellcheck`, packaged-binary stdio smoke, `goreleaser check` or an unavailable-tool disposition, and docs/site validation (`make web-build` or `hugo`) (`.reviews/R015-plan-step5.md:13-21`).

This matters because Step 5 is the release-quality gate for the new `.mcpb` artifact. Using `@latest` instead of the release-pinned `@anthropic-ai/mcpb@2.1.2` can validate a different schema/tooling version than CI, and omitting release/docs/package-smoke checks leaves the highest-risk changes unverified while the task appears ready to proceed.

Please either run and record the exact missing commands with their pass/fail disposition, or uncheck the affected Step 5 boxes and document why any local dependencies were unavailable. At minimum, the notes should cover the full R015 matrix before Step 5 is considered complete.
