## Observation

Package smoke, package dry-run pack checks, and Markdown diff whitespace checks were run after the Core loop hardening edits.

Commands run from `/Users/alexanderbutler/code_projects/personal/agent-loom`:

- `npm --prefix loom-core run smoke` - passed. Output reported `ok: true`, `usingLoomFileCount: 7`, ordered using-loom files, `instructionCount: 7`, and `skillCount: 11`.
- `npm --prefix loom-playbooks run smoke` - passed. Output reported `ok: true`, `doesNotPreloadCoreDoctrine: true`, and `skillCount: 25`.
- `npm --prefix loom-core run pack:check` - passed. It reran Core smoke and completed `npm pack --dry-run` with 65 files in the tarball.
- `npm --prefix loom-playbooks run pack:check` - passed. It reran Playbooks smoke and completed `npm pack --dry-run` with 28 files in the tarball.
- `git diff --check` - passed with no output.
- Final `git diff --check` after packet, audit, and closure record updates - passed with no output.

## What This Shows

- Supports `ticket:20260510-loop-hardening-verification#ACC-001`: available package and Markdown checks passed after the edits and final record updates.
- Supports package-surface integrity for the changed skill corpus.

## What This Does Not Show

- It does not prove the new instructions will change agent behavior in a live eval.
- It does not replace fresh-context review of the instruction semantics.
- It does not validate adapter-specific plugin manifests beyond the existing package smoke and pack checks.
