From ae4ba8add181814daec161fc667f6ce52732ba57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: danielmeppiel Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 23:19:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] harden(apm-review-panel): one-comment discipline + Hybrid E auth routing + apm-primitives-architect Rewrites the apm-review-panel skill bundle so the orchestrator collects every panelist's findings before posting a single synthesized verdict comment. Extracts the verdict shape into assets/verdict-template.md (loaded only at synthesis time), promotes Auth Expert to a Hybrid E (file fast-path + fallback self-check) conditional panelist, codifies a mandatory three-artifact return for the Python Architect (mermaid classDiagram + flowchart + design patterns subsection), and adds a reusable apm-primitives-architect persona for future bundle work. Pre-arbitration completeness gate validates 5 mandatory persona returns + Auth Expert XOR (exactly one of findings or inactive reason); CEO arbitration may run only after the gate passes. Workflow file Step 2 collapsed to one-liner deferring to skill execution checklist, eliminating the contract-duplication drift vector. Validation: apm audit --ci passes all 6 baseline checks; ASCII purity verified across all 4 modified/created bundle files; .apm/ <-> .github/ mirror parity confirmed.
