What problem does it solve?
Rejection workflows in collaborative environments often allow the original author to self-revise after a rejection, leading to feedback loops and diluted accountability. The reviewer-protocol enforces strict lockout semantics so that only non-original agents can revise rejected artifacts, ensuring independent and auditable revisions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Rejection enforcement: On rejection, the original author is locked out from the next revision and a different agent is assigned to revise.
- Reassignment or escalation: Reviewers may specify either reassigning to a different agent or escalating to a subject-matter expert for targeted fixes.
- Mechanical enforcement: The Coordinator verifies the revision agent is not the original author and enforces the policy across the entire revision cycle.
