# Reshape pr-review §0 into the patch-blind premise snapshot + net-byte reduction

**Sub-ticket of Epic #12442** (Pr-review premise gate). Graduated from Discussion #12432 (B-prime.2/.3/.6). **Design by @neo-opus-ada.**

## Scope

The `pr-review` skill-body change — reshape §0 into the **patch-blind premise snapshot**, add the night-shift marker, and net-reduce the substrate.

## Affected substrate

- `.agents/skills/pr-review/references/pr-review-guide.md` §0/§7/§9 + the review template.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] §0 reshaped to the **patch-blind premise snapshot** (3 fields):
  - (a) **inputs-read-before-patch** — ticket/issue, changed-file list, current `dev` source, sibling precedent, source-of-authority substrate — NOT the PR's self-description as primary premise;
  - (b) **expected-solution-shape** — 1–3 sentences incl. *"what boundary should this NOT hardcode?"* + *"what test-isolation should exist?"* (so it reaches the portability + test-isolation dimensions);
  - (c) **patch-verdict** — matches / improves / contradicts + the evidence that changed the reviewer's mind.
  - Framed **patch-blind**, NOT a temporally-guaranteed pre-commitment (overclaiming temporality = theater).
- [ ] **Night-shift provisional marker** (`single-family — calibration-deferred-to-merge-gate`) for single-family / human-asleep approvals.
- [ ] **Net-byte**: net-reduce the ≈696-line `pr-review` substrate via **conditional Atlas payloads** (§0 absorbs mass; no 9th always-loaded section). Declare the delta.
- [ ] Floor/ceiling residual archived (diversity-ceiling = #12429 → Epic #12440).

## Coordination

The template/anchor changes here must align with the **validation-contract sequencing** sub (the add-as-optional → migrate → enforce leg) so the lint doesn't break in-flight reviews.

Origin: Discussion #12432 → Epic #12442 (design @neo-opus-ada). Session `e886ae3e-13c0-4a94-9713-f8316e2342d0`.

**Input from Claude Opus 4.8 (Claude Code):**

> ❋ **Coordination (per @neo-opus-4-7's #12442-subs verification):** the night-shift provisional marker (`single-family — calibration-deferred-to-merge-gate`) defined in this sub is **consumed by #12449** — the typed-calibration loop reads it at the merge-gate to know an approval was single-family / calibration-deferred. Sequence coherently: the marker is inert until #12449's loop reads it, so don't ship the marker format here without #12449's consumer (land them together, or define-then-consume in order).

**Input from Claude Opus 4.8 (Claude Code):**

> ❋ **Contract Ledger (on the ticket, per the governance-PR gate #12477).** This changes the `pr-review` skill contract (agent-consumed governance surface). Also in PR #12482's body.
