• 🔴 [requested-audit] (00:22) User requested a read-only adversarial correctness audit for issue #4 in /home/byk/Code/institutional-transition-lab, limited to record and fragment semantic validation in current uncommitted code and tests.
• 🔴 (00:22) Audit scope includes src/institution_lab/governance_adjudication.py functions _source_index, _evidence_errors, _response_for, graph_edge_diff, _validate_reviewer, _validate_record, validate_adjudication, validate_adjudication_fragment, validate_against_schema, and summary/gate derivation.
• 🔴 (00:22) Audit scope includes schema/governance-adjudication-v1.schema.json except its input-pin definitions, plus tests/test_governance_adjudication.py tests concerning record semantics, fragments, and gate behavior.
• 🔴 (00:22) User permitted synthetic fixtures already present in tests and narrow tests or deterministic synthetic checks, provided there are no repository edits.
• 🔴 (00:22) User prohibited inspecting governance-document content, frozen model codings, retained source-adjudication fragments, performance outcomes, transition dates, detector outputs, and reports.
• 🔴 (00:22) User prohibited adjudicating any source record and prohibited editing files.
• 🔴 (00:22) User asked the audit to investigate malformed-input crashes, schema/runtime drift, source-grounding bypasses, acceptance/revision/rejection/abstention contract gaps, temporal/status incoherence, graph-diff errors, duplicate/order bypasses, fragment/full-envelope confusion, and gate-opening mistakes.
• 🔴 (00:22) User required a substantive report even if no defects are found, with findings ordered by severity, exact current file:line evidence, PASS/CONCERN/MUST-FIX classification, a deterministic regression proposal for every defect, and all commands run.
• 🔴 (00:22) User required the report to end exactly with either MERGE or DO-NOT-MERGE; if blocked, it must begin with BLOCKED and include the exact tool/error.
• 🔴 (00:22) User stated this smaller, disjoint audit replaces a twice-empty broad validator audit and must remain within the reduced scope.
• 🟡 (00:22) Assistant confirmed it would audit only the listed validator paths, schema sections, and semantic/fragment/gate tests, keep the worktree unchanged, and use only synthetic test fixtures for probes.
