## Summary

Fresh-context review inspected the final patched product-surface language cleanup after the prior two public-doc wording findings were fixed. Verdict: `clear`; no material findings were found within the reviewed scope.

## Target

The target was `ticket:20260510-product-surface-language-cleanup`, including changed shipped skill prose, public docs that restate the operating route, the evidence dossier, and the prior consumed review packet.

## Audit Scope And Lenses

Scope:

- Shipped skill bodies under `loom-core/skills/**` and `loom-playbooks/skills/**`.
- Public docs that restate operating guidance: `README.md`, `PROTOCOL.md`, `ARCHITECTURE.md`, `INSTALL.md`, `loom-core/README.md`, and `loom-playbooks/README.md`.
- Disposition of the prior review's two public-doc package-boundary findings.
- Evidence sufficiency for the ticket's acceptance criteria.

Lenses:

- Product surface leakage.
- Language consistency.
- Finding disposition.
- Evidence sufficiency.

Out of scope:

- Eval app implementation.
- Live agent behavior verification.
- Removing factual package/install identity language where it does not explain workflow precedence.

## Context And Evidence Reviewed

- `packet:20260511T071542Z-product-surface-language-final-review` - fresh read-only review packet and worker output.
- `packet:20260511T070642Z-product-surface-language-review` - prior fresh review that returned `changes-needed` for two public-doc findings.
- `evidence:20260510-product-surface-language-cleanup-checks` - command and search evidence for package checks, Markdown diff checks, shipped skill greps, public-doc package-boundary greps, and eval-term greps.
- `ticket:20260510-product-surface-language-cleanup` - acceptance criteria and closure claim.
- Current worktree diff for changed shipped skills, docs, and Loom records.

## Findings

None - no material findings within audited scope.

The final reviewer observed that shipped skill bodies avoid the targeted package-boundary workflow phrases, use Loom surfaces and named skills rather than package-layer precedence, do not contain the searched eval-shaped examples, and preserve the intended shaping, slicing, Ralph, evidence, and audit semantics.

The prior findings were dispositioned before this audit:

- Prior finding: `loom-playbooks/README.md` said results landed in `Core`. Disposition: resolved by changing the wording to `Loom records`.
- Prior finding: `ARCHITECTURE.md` said owning truth lived in `Core records`. Disposition: resolved by changing the wording to `Loom records`.

## Verdict

`clear` within the audited scope. The final fresh-context pass did not identify remaining product-surface package-boundary leakage, eval-shaped examples, or evidence honesty problems that should block ticket closure.

This verdict does not claim live agent behavior has improved or that every possible synonym for package-boundary leakage is absent.

## Required Follow-up

No required follow-up for `ticket:20260510-product-surface-language-cleanup` within this audit scope.

Future edits should preserve the distinction between factual package/install identity language and workflow-precedence guidance. Workflow guidance should continue to route through Loom surfaces and named skills rather than package-layer distinctions.

## Residual Risk

- Public docs still mention Core and Playbooks as package/install facts. That is allowed by the reviewed scope, but future edits could accidentally turn those facts back into workflow-precedence guidance.
- Targeted searches cannot prove every possible synonym is absent.
- Live agent behavior was not verified.
