# Slice λ test-veracity audit by Claude (round 1) — structurally blocked

> **Status: STRUCTURAL BLOCKER.** Two async `claude_request_async`
> reviewer jobs were launched against `feat/phase-4-slice-lambda`
> HEAD `c4293bb` per the slice-δ standing protocol
> ([[feedback-test-veracity-audit-protocol]]). Both failed to produce

>   minutes the gateway reported `stdoutBytes: 0` and `stderrBytes: 0`;

## Probes observed by Claude

None. Both async attempts terminated without applying a mutation
or running a single `npx vitest` command.

## Approval

- **STRUCTURALLY BLOCKED** — Claude did not return UNCONDITIONAL
  APPROVE or REJECT. The round-1 verdict therefore rests on the
  three substantive vendor voices (Codex, Grok, Mistral) plus the
  partial Gemini run (Lα–Lε confirmed RED before API-quota
  exhaustion). See `README.md` for the consolidated tally and
  `round-1-{codex,grok,mistral,gemini}.md` for the underlying
  evidence.

This file is recorded so future sessions can see (a) that Claude
was invited per protocol, (b) the exact failure mode, and (c) that
no Claude probe data was used in the round-1 outcome.
