## Summary

Ralph audit returned `clear` for the Loom Driver implementation. The review found no material findings within scope and judged the prompt, adapter exposure, validation, and record story sufficient for ticket closure if residual runtime-validation limits remain explicit.

## Target

The audit targeted the final closure story for `ticket:20260515-loom-driver-agent`: canonical Driver prompt behavior, OpenCode registration, Claude/Cursor/Gemini/Codex exposure posture, package inclusion, human-facing docs, validation evidence, high-authority record boundary, and product-surface leakage risk.

## Audit Scope And Lenses

Lenses: claim and evidence, scope, acceptance, implementation quality, surface boundary, prompt safety, harness support honesty, product-surface leakage, package inclusion, and follow-through.

Out of scope: live runtime invocation in each harness, runtime enforcement of OpenCode permission pattern matching, Playbooks package checks, and any product decision to make Driver a default agent.

## Context And Evidence Reviewed

- Ralph packet: `packet:20260515T060624Z-loom-driver-agent-audit` - bounded review contract and worker output.
- `spec:loom-driver-agent` - intended behavior contract for Driver.
- `ticket:20260515-loom-driver-agent` - acceptance criteria and closure story.
- `evidence:20260515-loom-driver-agent-validation` - implementation validation dossier.
- `packet:20260515T054840Z-loom-driver-agent-implementation` - implementation packet and output.
- `spec:loom-weaver-agent`, `ticket:20260514-loom-weaver-agent`, and `research:20260514-direct-interactive-agent-surfaces` - precedent and harness constraints.
- Source files reviewed: `loom-core/agents/loom-driver.md`, `loom-core/codex/agents/loom-driver.toml`, `loom-core/loom-core.mjs`, `loom-core/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `loom-core/.codex-plugin/plugin.json`, `INSTALL.md`, `README.md`, `loom-core/README.md`, `ARCHITECTURE.md`, and current `git diff`.
- Additional files inspected for package and exposure claims: `loom-core/package.json`, `loom-core/.cursor-plugin/plugin.json`, `loom-core/gemini-extension.json`, and root `gemini-extension.json`.
- Audit reran `npm --prefix loom-core run smoke`, `npm --prefix loom-core run pack:check`, `git diff --check`, and `claude plugin validate "$PWD/loom-core"`; all passed.

## Findings

None - no material findings within audited scope.

## Verdict

`clear` - Within the bounded audit scope, the Driver implementation satisfies the spec and ticket acceptance story. The prompt is inner-loop focused, packet-first, audit/evidence-aware, and does not read like a generic coder or duplicate `using-loom`. OpenCode registration, Codex TOML parity, Claude manifest exposure, package inclusion, and documentation language are consistent with the Weaver precedent and do not overclaim unsupported universal `@` semantics.

This verdict does not itself close the ticket; it provides the review judgment the ticket can cite for closure.

## Required Follow-up

No implementation changes are required before closure. The ticket should keep residual runtime-validation limits explicit if it closes.

## Residual Risk

- Live runtime invocation was not tested in OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Gemini.
- OpenCode runtime permission matching was not tested beyond source inspection and smoke output.
- Cursor and Gemini runtime/plugin validation was not rerun because their manifests were not changed in this ticket.
- Codex Driver support remains an explicit custom-agent TOML install and natural-language spawn path, not plugin-shipped automatic activation.
- High-authority record protection for Driver is prompt-level outside OpenCode and only source/smoke-inspected in OpenCode.
