+Fold-in batch: quality disciplines plus measured cost fixes for the shared PR reviewer.
+
+Quality fold-ins:
+
+- **Failure scenario required.** Every finding (not just blocking ones) carries a concrete `failure_scenario` (specific inputs/state, then the wrong outcome). The field is required in the structured finding schema (`FINDING_SCHEMA_VERSION` 2), emitted by every producer, and carried into `claims.json`; the `claim-validator` attacks exactly that scenario.
+- **Quote-the-rule discipline.** A skill or conventions violation may only be flagged when the exact rule text and the exact violating line can both be quoted (skill-auditor, conventions, lens-owned skills); the validator never confirms a skill claim that cannot quote its rule.
+- **Amplification nuance.** A claim about a mechanism that predates the diff is confirmed only when the diff materially amplifies its consequence, and the finding must say so; producers state introduce-vs-amplify explicitly.
+- **Method-angle procedures.** The correctness reviewer works the diff through three named procedures: a line scan, a removed-behavior audit (name the invariant every deleted line enforced and find where the new code re-establishes it), and a cross-file trace of changed symbols' callers/callees.
+- **Change-provenance gate, enforced in code.** New `lib/diff.ts` + `lib/provenance.ts` parse the staged diff into a per-file changed-line map (`provenance.json`); a finding whose anchor is not an added/modified diff line cannot carry a blocking label, and pre-existing observations collapse into at most one non-blocking note (`renderPreExistingNote`). Fails open (gates nothing, with a review-body note) whenever the parsed map cannot be trusted: an unparseable diff, hunks not attributable to a file section, or a changed file with a patch missing from the parse (`files.json` now carries `hasPatch` for this cross-check). Wired through the no-post runner and covered by unit tests plus a smoke corpus case.
+
+Measured cost fixes:
+
+- **Generated-stripped whole-change diffs.** The provenance CLI also stages `full-stripped.diff` (the full diff minus files the router classifies `linguist-generated`; `routing.json` now exposes `generatedFiles`), and every whole-change reviewer and specialist lens reads it instead of the full diff.
+- **Graceful budget exhaustion.** Nearing the AI-credits cap the orchestrator sheds remaining work in a fixed order and submits the verdict from the findings validated so far, with skipped-dimension notes, instead of dying at the cap with nothing posted.
+- **Batched safe-output tail.** The orchestrator emits same-kind safe outputs (thread resolutions especially, and inline comments) together in as few calls/turns as possible.

+ against the actual code (attacking the finding's stated failure scenario) and,
+ for best-practice claims, against the relevant skill's
+ real rule, and drops the false positives or corrects inaccurate ones before anything
+ is posted, so a wrong claim never reaches the PR or forces a change request. A claim
+ about a mechanism that predates the diff is confirmed only when the diff materially
+ amplifies its consequence and the finding says so.
The workflow then posts the per-line Conventional Comments that survived validation,
submits an approve / request-changes review, and on approval posts the risk/patterns
summary and requests the owning teams. The config files below feed these sub-agents.
+Two mechanical gates sit between the reviewers and the PR. The **change-provenance
+gate** (enforced in code against the diff's parsed changed-line map, not by prompt)
+requires every finding to trace to the change: a finding whose anchor is not an
+added or modified line of the diff cannot carry a blocking label, and such
+pre-existing observations post as at most one collapsed non-blocking note instead of
+individual comments; a pre-existing defect the diff materially amplifies passes
+naturally because it anchors on the amplifying line. And the **budget guardrail**
+makes the orchestrator land short of the AI-credits cap: nearing it, remaining work
+is shed (each shed reviewer becomes a skipped-dimension note) and the verdict is
+submitted from the findings validated so far, so a run never dies at the cap with
+everything spent and nothing posted.

+/**
+ * The change-provenance gate, enforced in code.
+ *
+ * A review finding must trace to the change under review: it is either
+ * introduced by the diff, or it is a pre-existing observation the diff merely
+ * sits near. The gate makes that distinction mechanical: a finding whose
+ * anchor is not an added or modified line of the diff cannot carry a blocking
+ * label, and pre-existing observations collapse into at most one non-blocking
+ * note (`renderPreExistingNote` in `render-comment.ts`) instead of posting as
+ * individual comments. This is what stops a bug fix inside legacy code from
+ * drawing blocking reviews of the surrounding known problems the author cannot
+ * be asked to fix in that PR. (A pre-existing defect the diff materially
+ * *amplifies* passes the gate naturally: the amplifying lines are added or
+ * modified lines, so the finding anchors on them.)
+ *
+ * The line-level facts come from `diff.ts` ({@link computeChangedLines});
+ * anchors are judged as follows:
+ *
+ * - `pr` anchors are change-anchored by definition (they describe the
+ * change as a whole).
+ * - `file` anchors are change-anchored when the file appears in the diff.
+ * - RIGHT-side `line` anchors are change-anchored when the line (or any
+ * line of the range) is an added line or brackets a removal (a pure
+ * deletion leaves no `+` line, so deletion findings anchor adjacent).
+ * - LEFT-side `line` anchors are change-anchored when the line is a
+ * removed line.
+ *
+ * Fail-open guarantee: when the diff cannot be parsed into file sections at
+ * all (a staging-format problem, not a property of the findings), the gate
+ * keeps everything and reports the warning; a broken artifact must degrade
+ * to the pre-gate behavior, never demote every finding on the run.
+ *
+ * The CLI at the bottom stages the two derived diff artifacts for a run:
+ * `provenance.json` (this module's changed-line map) and `full-stripped.diff`
+ * (the full diff minus generated files, which the whole-change reviewers read
+ * so a lock-file-heavy PR does not balloon their context).
+ *
+ * Determinism boundary: every decision here is a pure function of the diff
+ * text and the finding anchors; no string emitted is a sentence about the
+ * code under review.
