## Independent Findings

**Prediction resolution:**
1. "Cargo.toml placed after pnpm-workspace.yaml" — **Not found.** Builder placed it before, matching spec exactly.
2. "Docstring won't match exact contract string" — **Not found.** Line 133 contains the exact string "Python → Rust → Ruby → Go".
3. "Test missing [workspace] or real deps" — **Not found.** pyproject.toml has `dependencies = ["fastapi", "uvicorn"]`, Cargo.toml has `[workspace]`.
4. "Over-built extras" — **Not found.** Diff is exactly 3 docstring lines + 2 indicator pushes + 2 new tests. No extra functions, no unused exports.
5. "Rust test missing Gemfile or go.mod" — **Not found.** All three remaining manifests present (Cargo.toml, Gemfile, go.mod).

**Surprise finding:** The Tauri indicator fix (A003/A004) has no test coverage. The existing Tauri Tier 3 test (line 470-490) still only asserts `toContain('pnpm-workspace.yaml')` — it doesn't assert `Cargo.toml`. The Tier 4 Tauri test (line 511-526) has no indicator assertions at all. The code fix is correct by inspection, but if someone removes the `indicators.push('Cargo.toml')` lines, no test fails. This is a coverage gap for future cycles.

**Over-building check:** Grep'd all new code for unused exports — no new exports added. No new functions, no new constants, no abstractions. The diff is tight: 3 docstring lines, 2 single-line indicator pushes, 48 lines of test code (two tests). No scope creep.

## AC Walkthrough
- **AC1:** The `detectProjectType` docstring documents both priority orders — non-package.json fallthrough AND polyglot tier priority — with a note that the orders differ intentionally. ✅ PASS — Lines 133-137 document both orders and state "intentionally".
- **AC2:** A Tauri project's indicators array contains `Cargo.toml` in both Tier 3 and Tier 4 paths. ✅ PASS — `indicators.push('Cargo.toml')` at lines 207 (Tier 3) and 257 (Tier 4), placed before the existing `pnpm-workspace.yaml` push.
- **AC3:** A test with all four competing manifests asserts the result is Python at 0.90 confidence. ✅ PASS — Test at line 615-638 creates pyproject.toml (with real deps), Cargo.toml (with [workspace]), Gemfile, go.mod alongside package.json + lockfile. Asserts `type === 'python'` and `confidence === 0.90`.
- **AC4:** A test with three competing manifests (no pyproject.toml) asserts the result is Rust at 0.90 confidence. ✅ PASS — Test at line 641-660 creates Cargo.toml (with [workspace]), Gemfile, go.mod alongside package.json + lockfile. Asserts `type === 'rust'` and `confidence === 0.90`.
- **AC5:** Existing polyglot tests continue to pass unchanged. ✅ PASS — 35 pre-existing tests pass. No existing test was modified (verified via diff — only additions).
- **AC6:** Tests pass with `(cd 'packages/cli' && pnpm vitest run)`. ⚠️ PARTIAL — Ran `pnpm vitest run polyglot` (the spec's checkpoint command), not the full suite. Polyglot-scoped run passed 37/37. The full suite was not run because the checkpoint commands section specifies the polyglot-scoped run as the primary verification.
- **AC7:** No build errors. ✅ PASS — `pnpm run build` succeeded.

## Blockers
No blockers. All 9 contract assertions SATISFIED. All ACs pass (one PARTIAL due to scoped test run, not a regression risk — changes are confined to polyglot detection). No unused exports in new code (no new exports added). No unhandled error paths (no new error paths introduced). No assumptions about external state (tests use createTempDir). No missing edge cases from spec — the spec explicitly scoped this to docstring + indicator + priority tests, and all three are complete.

## Findings
- **Test — Tauri Cargo.toml indicator has no assertion:** `packages/cli/tests/engine/detectors/polyglot.test.ts:489` — The Tier 3 Tauri test asserts `indicators.toContain('pnpm-workspace.yaml')` but not `toContain('Cargo.toml')`. The code fix at `projectType.ts:207` is correct, but removing it produces no test failure. Future cycle should add `expect(result.indicators).toContain('Cargo.toml')` to the existing Tauri tests. Same gap exists for Tier 4 (line 511-526), which has no indicator assertions at all.
- **Test — Tier 4 Tauri test lacks all indicator assertions:** `packages/cli/tests/engine/detectors/polyglot.test.ts:511` — Only asserts `type` and `confidence`. No `indicators` assertion exists. If any indicator push is removed or reordered, this test can't detect it.
- **Upstream — Ruby detection still existence-only:** Proof context finding `fix-polyglot-rust-ts-ruby-C4` — still present. A Gemfile with only dev gems still triggers Ruby detection. Not introduced by this build, not addressed by it. The new Rust-wins test (line 641) uses a Gemfile with real gems, so it doesn't mask this gap.
- **Code — hasTauriWorkspaceDep catch block unreachable:** Proof context build concern — still present. The function uses regex matching, which cannot throw. The catch block at the caller level is defensive but unreachable. Not introduced by this build.

## Deployer Handoff
Minimal-risk change: 3 docstring lines, 2 indicator pushes, 2 new tests. No behavioral logic changes — the detection cascade is unchanged. The indicator fix affects scan.json output for Tauri projects only (adds `Cargo.toml` to the indicators array). No configuration changes, no new dependencies, no migration needed.

The one thing to know: the Tauri indicator fix (A003/A004) was verified by source inspection, not by test assertion. If indicator coverage matters to you, the existing Tauri tests should get `toContain('Cargo.toml')` assertions in a follow-up.

## Verdict
**Shippable:** YES

Clean, minimal diff. All 9 contract assertions satisfied. Two new tests correctly exercise the four-way and three-way priority races with proper fixture data (real deps, [workspace] sections). The docstring accurately documents both priority orders. The Tauri indicator fix is correct by inspection. The only gap is test coverage for the indicator fix — a debt item for a future cycle, not a blocker.
