Summary
AI summaryTurn‑end VERIFY stage adds automatic refutation of findings before they are shown.
Full changelog
Added
-
Turn-end VERIFY stage: the automatic review now refutes its own findings
before you see them. The turn-end pipeline ran SCOPE -> EVIDENCE -> ATTACK
-> REPORT with no VERIFY: the correctness judge's findings surfaced
unchallenged, while the fully-built independent refuter (refuter.py) was
wired only to the interactive pr-review / receiving skills — the plugin's
most-used review surface had no independent verification at all. A new
stop_verify.pymodule closes the gap on all three turn-end paths: the
default multi-lens pass (lone-correctness-lens findings only; cross-lens
agreement is already an independent signal and duplication findings' evidence
spans two locations a one-file excerpt cannot show, so those are exempt), the
single-lens correctness gate, and the async-detached judge child. A refuted
finding is dropped, a confirmed one is tagged[confirmed], the rest surface
labeled unverified, and the advisory carries a grounding banner
(N refuted and dropped, M confirmed). Strictly raise-precision by contract:
only an actively-refuted finding is ever removed; any failure (no budget, CLI
absent, spawn error) passes everything through unverified; and a finding
whose excerpt cannot be safely fetched is never spawned, because the refuter
prompt commands refutation on cannot-tell and a zero-evidence spawn would
kill anchorless findings on engine-side data absence. Budget-honest under the
55s Stop wrapper: refuter spawns are retry-free (run_one(retry=False), new
parameter) so a slot costs exactly one timeout window, and the sync path
anchors its remaining-budget math to process start — the same clock as the
wrapper's SIGKILL — spawning only when a full window fits. Excerpts are
containment-checked throughsafe_read_text(the finding's file field is
model output inlined into a prompt; an absolute or..-escaping path reads
nothing). Raw findings still shadow-log pre-VERIFY so precision sampling
keeps seeing the refuted rows; only survivors persist to the finding ledger.
Default-ON with theCHAMELEON_STOP_VERIFY=0kill switch; no repo-code
execution and no network (the refuter is a hardened no-toolsclaude -p).
Verified live end-to-end: a deliberately false claim came back refuted and
dropped, a real defect came back confirmed and kept, ~8-10s per spawn. -
The five-phase review discipline is now explicit in
/chameleon-pr-review.
The skill already ran all five phases; a new "The five-phase discipline"
section names them (SCOPE -> EVIDENCE -> ATTACK -> VERIFY -> REPORT) and maps
each existing step to its phase, so the skill and the engine's turn-end
pipeline now describe the same contract in the same terms.
