Problem

The audit's completion review was mostly a simplification review. Correctness came in only through the user rules'
co-review ("with a correctness review of the task's whole diff unless a step review already covered all of it"), so in
practice one agent reviewed and the other validated, and nothing recorded or required a correctness stage. Most of an
audit's range is other people's commits that no step review saw.

Solution

repo-audit Completion review, per batch of base..R (audits only; PRs keep relying on the review bots):

  • Both sides run their built-in review independently on the frozen target, alongside simplification Phase 1:
    /code-review high base..R -- <pathspecs> and codex review in read-only, high-effort, custom-prompt mode naming the
    same diff and tracing callers across the tree at R.
  • Each side's findings are validated by the other under the user rules' co-review; exit 0 or an empty list is not
    agreement, and a blocked or interrupted review leaves its side pending.
  • One closing co-review across batches covers cross-batch interactions; late commits after the record go through the
    same batch sequence.
  • audit.py finish requires the new correctness stage; check still accepts records written before it.

Recipes were probed on fixtures: explicit range and path targets are honoured by both tools, an out-of-scope planted bug
is excluded, a committed deletion that breaks an unchanged caller is found by both at high effort, codex review --base refuses a custom prompt, a no-shell agent degrades /code-review (so it needs a shell), and a cowork Claude lane
runs /code-review for a Codex lead.

Evidence: BUILD.md suite 5251 passed, 130 skipped; simplification Phase 1 (4 reviewers) and Codex co-review agreed with
no findings left.

The audit's completion review reached correctness only through the user rules' co-review, so in practice one side reviewed and the other validated. Each batch now gets Claude's /code-review and Codex's codex review independently, cross-validated, and finish requires the correctness stage; check still reads older records.

Walkthrough

The completion instructions add a coverage ledger and per-batch review sequence. The sequence includes correctness reviews and requires cross-batch co-review when there are multiple batches or any repair. The audit code allows general validation to accept records without a correctness stage, while finish-time validation requires the stage to be completed. Tests cover both validation behaviors.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to bb647

The change adds a required correctness review stage to the repo-audit finish step while keeping older records valid. The earlier gap, where an inapplicable correctness stage could pass at finish, has been addressed. No merge-blocking risk remains.

Explanation

The title names the repo-audit skill and states the main change: each batch's correctness is reviewed with both built-in reviews. The raw summary shows this matches the changes to the Completion review instructions, the correctness stage in audit.py, and the test updates. The title is concise and specific.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the problem (correctness review was not recorded or required in audits) and the solution (both built-in reviews run per batch, cross-batch co-review, and the new correctness stage required by audit.py finish). This matches the raw summary's file changes, so it is related to the changeset.
