phase5-exit-check

Structural validation for Phase 5 requires confirming both constructive and adversarial reports exist for the latest round with aligned indices. It enforces severity consistency and traceable evidence citations to ensure a handoff-ready exit.

You can aggregate severity signals by reading the latest phase_5_review reports and computing an aggregated signal from reviewer concerns. This produces a routing advisory that guides subsequent phases like Phase 6, Loop 4, or halt.

A Phase 5 exit check evaluates whether the review phase has produced a handoff-ready exit by analyzing report existence, severity consistency, and traceable evidence citations. You need it before routing work to Phase 6 or Loop 4 rework.

Yes, the latest phase_3_main_experiment specs and story checks must be available for context. The exit check uses these alongside phase_5_review reports to enforce severity label consistency and validate traceable evidence citations.

A NEEDS-REWORK decision occurs when structural validation fails due to missing reports, misaligned round indices, inconsistent severity labels, or untraceable evidence citations. The system outputs PASS only when all criteria are satisfied.

The best way to generate a routing advisory is to aggregate severity signals from the latest constructive and adversarial phase_5_review reports. This produces a clear PASS or NEEDS-REWORK decision with specific routing recommendations.
