Date: 2026-03-12 Author: Coordinator (AI) Verdict: ✅ APPROVE RF: RF-TFW-7 TS: TS-TFW-7


1. Review Checklist

# Check Status Notes
1 DoD met? (all TS acceptance criteria) All 6 criteria verified against actual file content
2 Code quality (conventions, naming, type hints) N/A No code — text/markdown edits only
3 Test coverage (tests written and passing) N/A No code — meta-project documentation changes
4 Philosophy aligned (matches HL design philosophy) Minimal edits, accept where appropriate
5 Tech debt (shortcuts documented?) Two observations in RF — triaged below
6 Security (no secrets exposed, guards in place) N/A Documentation changes only
7 Breaking changes (backward compat, migrations) N/A No breaking changes
8 Style & standards (code style, conventions) Cross-refs use correct relative paths, tables properly formatted
9 Observations collected (executor reported findings) 2 observations reported, both valid

2. Verdict

✅ APPROVE

Clean execution. All 6 TD items resolved or accepted. Two minor deviations from TS documented and justified (relative path fix, file count discrepancy in TS). Both observations are valid — triaged below.
