+# Progress-review receipt qualification (2026-11-02)
+
+## Owner boundary
+
+This checkpoint moves the complete loaded-receipt qualification decision from
+`capabilities/progress_review/context.py` to
+`control_plane/work_items/progress_review_evidence.ts`, exposed through one
+`progress_review.context.qualify` request. The existing built-in progress-review
+capability retains its provider boundary; this adds no capability or provider.
+The TS owner composes `inspectLocalGoalAcceptance` and
+`progressReviewCriterionBasis` in process, caches each Todo inspection for the
+batch, compares canonical bindings, withdraws obsolete signals, selects the
+newest revision from the first qualified receipt, and applies the manual pin.
+The Python loader's `progress_review_receipt_order_key` is the single ordering
+owner: its stable newest-first output also preserves first-maximal tie behavior.
+TS preserves that input order rather than sorting again.
+These are successive reads, **not an atomic snapshot**. One unavailable Todo
+cannot suppress other Todos. Exact Goal-instance refusal remains with the
+acceptance owner. Operator studies and legacy receipts retain their semantics.
+
+## Economics and retained Python
+
+Instrumentation on both File and SQLite measures context-read crossings:
+
+| Scenario | Before | After |
+| --- | ---: | ---: |
+| Off / no receipts / unavailable receipt store | 0 | 0 |
+| Repeated canonical receipts for one Todo | 5 | 3 |
+| Canonical receipts for two Todos | 6 | 3 |
+| Removed criterion / newer receipt outside pin | 3 | 2 |
+| Unavailable Todo plus current Todo | 5 | 3 |
+| Wrong Goal instance | 2 | 2 |
+| Operator study plus legacy receipt | 1 | 2 |
+
+The general qualification boundary changes E + T + R to E + 1; E still
+counts per-receipt evidence-scope decoding during receipt IO. Off and empty
+paths do not call the batch. Manual/legacy-only batches and refused-instance
+batches do not necessarily save crossings. No latency or long-horizon benefit
+is claimed. The manual/legacy case rises from 1 to 2 because evidence-scope
+IO still costs one call and every nonempty batch adds qualification. With no
+`goal_acceptance` binding and no pin, no TS qualification call is semantically
+needed; this slice reports that waste rather than duplicating the TS rule in
+Python to bypass it. Product code changes by +111/−53 physical lines, net +58.
+The Python context adapter adds 32 lines of transport/codec composition while
+removing 50; handler registration adds one bridge line. The bounded net
+increase buys one complete decision owner rather than another leaf facade.
+
+Python deletes the Todo cache, acceptance inspection orchestration, criterion
+comparison, stale rewriting, newest selection and pin filtering. It retains
+receipt file IO and persisted-format/signal codecs, policy decoding, read-error
+projection and summary composition for existing status, attention, refresh and
+Chat callers. Selected source indices let the transport retain historical
+numeric facts (integral floats and large integers) without repeating decisions.
+The response omits the unused qualified array and computes selected source
+indices directly. Sequence tokens and BigInt ordering are removed; arbitrary
+integer ordering remains in the Python loader's single ordering owner. The acceptance
+inspection facade still serves CLI, Chat and delegation; the criterion-basis
+operation still serves the optional observer's canonical-basis reads. Neither
+is an unused compatibility export.
+
+## Qualification and exit
+
+Before product changes, the test setup pins a synthetic relative acceptance
+argv before contract hashing. File and SQLite pass the unchanged characterization
+three consecutive times; the complete per-scenario context and status rendering
+fixture is then frozen at 841 lines, with no output normalizer. It covers off,
+empty, repeated/multiple Todos, wrong instance, removed criterion, unavailable
+inspection/store, manual/legacy observations and pin drift. Separate numeric IO
+and run-order tests protect the transport and selection boundaries.
+
+The existing Python context adapter and this bridge operation exit when status,
+attention, refresh-state and Chat consume the native receipt read/summary owner
+without Python receipt IO or composition. Retire the temporary characterization
+and crossing fixtures at that same verified caller cutover, preserving semantic
+negative tests. This slice neither changes a public journey nor qualifies an
+installed distribution, provider performance or long-horizon outcomes.
+
+## Review repair validation
+
+The fake loader now uses the real loader's ordering helper; both frozen JSON
+fixtures remain byte-identical (SHA-256 checked). A TS test proves that newest
+follows input order even when run metadata suggests another order. Existing
+Python run-order and pin characterization remains green.
+
+- Ruff: 2 changed Python files pass; pytest: 77 passed, 0 failed.
+- Requested Node tests: 39 passed, 0 failed; control-plane typecheck passes.
+- Semantic vocabulary smoke passes (29/29 vocabularies, 56/56 owner symbols).
+- CLI base/head parity: File and SQLite, JSON and Markdown (4 comparisons).
+  Markdown is byte-identical; JSON differs only in source read clocks/ages,
+  which also vary on base-to-base reads. Progress-review payloads are unchanged.
+- `git diff --check` passes. No generated `uv.lock` retained. All changes remain
+  unstaged; no commit, push or PR update performed.
+
+Validation uses this checkout's installed `.venv` after verifying import
+provenance; `uv run` could not acquire its default cache lock in the sandbox.

+# 进度评审 receipt 资格判定（2026-11-02）
+
+## 所有者边界
+
+本检查点将完整的已加载 receipt 资格判定，从
+`capabilities/progress_review/context.py` 迁至
+`control_plane/work_items/progress_review_evidence.ts`，通过一次
+`progress_review.context.qualify` 请求暴露。现有内置 progress-review capability
+保留 provider 边界；不新增 capability 或 provider。
+TS 所有者在进程内组合 `inspectLocalGoalAcceptance` 和
+`progressReviewCriterionBasis`，在批次内缓存每个 Todo 的检查，比较规范绑定，撤回
+过期信号，以首个资格判定后的 receipt 选择最新 revision，并应用人工 pin。
+Python 加载器的 `progress_review_receipt_order_key` 是唯一排序所有者：稳定的
+最新优先输出同时保留并列时首个最大值的行为。TS 保持输入顺序，不再排序。
+这些是先后发生的读取，**不是原子快照**。单个 Todo 不可用不会抑制其他 Todo。
+精确 Goal 实例的拒绝仍由 acceptance 所有者负责。操作员研究与旧 receipt 的语义不变。
+
+## 成本与保留的 Python
+
+File 和 SQLite 上的插桩测得 context 读取跨运行时次数：
+
+| 场景 | 之前 | 之后 |
+| --- | ---: | ---: |
+| 关闭 / 无 receipt / receipt 存储不可用 | 0 | 0 |
+| 同一 Todo 的重复规范 receipt | 5 | 3 |
+| 两个 Todo 的规范 receipt | 6 | 3 |
+| criterion 被删除 / 较新 receipt 在 pin 之外 | 3 | 2 |
+| 不可用 Todo 与当前 Todo 混合 | 5 | 3 |
+| Goal 实例不符 | 2 | 2 |
+| 操作员研究与旧 receipt 混合 | 1 | 2 |
+
+通用资格判定边界由 E + T + R 变为 E + 1；E 仍包括 receipt IO 中逐条执行的
+证据 scope 解码。关闭和空路径不调用批次。纯人工/旧 receipt 批次及实例被拒绝的
+批次不一定减少跨运行时次数。不声称延迟或长程收益。人工/旧 receipt 场景从
+1 增至 2，因为证据 scope IO 仍需一次调用，每个非空批次又增加一次资格判定。
+没有 `goal_acceptance` 绑定且没有 pin 时，语义上不需要 TS 资格判定调用；本次
+报告该浪费，不在 Python 中复制 TS 规则来绕过调用。产品代码物理行数
+为 +111/−53，净增 58 行。Python context adapter 增加 32 行传输/codec 组合，
+删除 50 行；handler 注册增加一行 bridge。此有界净增长换来一个完整判定所有者，
+而不是再添一个叶子 facade。
+
+Python 删除 Todo 缓存、acceptance 检查编排、criterion 比较、stale 改写、最新
+revision 选择及 pin 过滤。保留 receipt 文件 IO、持久化格式/信号 codec、policy
+解码、读取错误投影和摘要组合，服务现有 status、attention、refresh 与 Chat 调用者。
+所选源索引使传输可保留历史数值事实（整数值浮点及大整数），而不重复判定规则。
+响应移除未使用的 qualified 数组，并直接计算所选源索引。删除 sequence token
+和 BigInt 排序；任意精度整数排序仍由 Python 加载器这一唯一排序所有者负责。acceptance 检查 facade 仍服务 CLI、Chat
+和 delegation；criterion-basis 操作仍服务可选 observer 的规范 basis 读取。
+二者均不是无调用者的兼容导出。
+
+## 验证与退出条件
+
+修改产品代码前，测试 setup 在合同哈希之前固定合成的相对 acceptance argv。
+File 和 SQLite 在未改动产品代码上连续三轮通过 characterization，随后冻结完整的
+逐场景 context 和 status 渲染 fixture，共 841 行，不使用输出 normalizer。
+覆盖关闭、空集合、重复/多个 Todo、实例错误、criterion 删除、检查/存储不可用、
+人工/旧观察与 pin 漂移。独立数值 IO 和运行排序测试保护传输与选择边界。
+
+当 status、attention、refresh-state 和 Chat 不再依赖 Python receipt IO 或组合，
+直接消费原生 receipt 读取/摘要所有者时，删除现有 Python context adapter 及此
+bridge 操作。在同一次经过验证的调用者切换中删除临时 characterization 与跨运行时
+次数 fixture，保留语义反例测试。本 slice 不改变公开用户旅程，也不证明已安装
+发行版、provider 性能或长程成果。
+
+## 评审修复验证
+
+模拟加载器现复用真实加载器的排序 helper；两个冻结 JSON fixture 的 SHA-256
+保持不变。TS 测试证明即使运行元数据暗示其他顺序，最新值仍遵循输入顺序。
+既有 Python 运行排序及 pin characterization 继续通过。
+
+- Ruff：2 个变更 Python 文件通过；pytest：77 通过，0 失败。
+- 指定 Node 测试：39 通过，0 失败；control-plane typecheck 通过。
+- 语义词汇 smoke 通过（29/29 vocabulary，56/56 owner symbol）。
+- CLI base/head：File 与 SQLite 的 JSON、Markdown 共 4 项比较通过。
+  Markdown 字节一致；JSON 仅源读取时钟/年龄不同，base 重复读取也会变化。
+  progress-review payload 不变。
+- `git diff --check` 通过；不保留生成的 `uv.lock`。全部修改保持 unstaged，
+  未 commit、push 或更新 PR。
+
+验证使用已核对导入来源的本 checkout `.venv`；`uv run` 在 sandbox 中无法
+取得默认 cache lock。
