review: cut receipt evidence at the real ## Output heading (worker could hide failing checks from the reviewer) - #37
Conversation
A worker controls its final message, which the receipt quotes with '> ' on every line. receiptEvidence split on the bare substring '## Output', so a worker whose message contained '## Output' truncated the evidence before the checks table — the reviewer then saw only the claim and confirmed it. Match the heading anchored at column 0 so a quoted '> ## Output' no longer ends it. Adds a regression test.

Review of #37: the direction is right, but the anchored regex can still be bypassed. Blocking.

What
receiptEvidence(src/review.ts) cut the reviewer's evidence at the first occurrence of the substring## Output. The receipt quotes the worker's final message with>on every line (src/receipts.ts:579-581), and the worker fully controls that message. A worker whose final message contains a line## Outputtruncates the evidence inside the quoted claim — before the checks table and the real## Outputsection — so the reviewer (reviewClaim) sees only the claim and nothing that could contradict it, and confirms. Since the review turns averifiedclaim intoverifiedvspassed its checks, unconfirmed, this lets a worker silence the independent review at will.Repro on the #34-head build: a receipt whose claim contains
## Outputyields reviewer evidence of just the claim preamble — the**FAIL**row and its text are gone.Fix
Match the heading anchored at column 0 (
/^## Output$/m). The worker's## Outputis quoted as> ## Output, which no longer matches, while the receipt's own top-level## Outputsection still does. One-line change; adds a regression test. The existingreceiptEvidencetest still passes (8/8 intest/review.test.ts).Base
