Staff-review findings (4-reviewer panel): - CONTRADICTION FIX: Spec Context said "Subagents never read the spec file themselves" while spec-reviewer-prompt grants exactly that access. Now: implementers never read it; the spec reviewer may, at the cited path. - "a constant bump" was an unqualified trivial example — a one-line BCRYPT_ROUNDS or session-TTL change is a security-posture change; now qualified "with no security or behavioral consequences" (matching brainstorming's config-change qualifier). The diff-property definition adds "nothing security-relevant". - Proportionality rewritten 146→~115 words (house style; one statement of the multi-task containment instead of two). - Red Flags Never-line trimmed 33→14 words (pointer to Proportionality instead of third in-file restatement). - Prompt-template rationale tails cut (the controller just read Spec Context; subagents need the pasted text, not the policy rationale).

Spec Compliance Reviewer Prompt Template
Use this template when dispatching a spec compliance reviewer subagent.
Purpose: Verify implementer built what was requested (nothing more, nothing less)
Subagent (general-purpose):
description: "Review spec compliance for Task N"
prompt: |
You are reviewing whether an implementation matches its specification.
## What Was Requested
[FULL TEXT of task requirements, including the text of any spec sections the task cites]
## What Implementer Claims They Built
[From implementer's report]
## Git Range to Review
**Base:** [BASE_SHA — commit before this task]
**Head:** [HEAD_SHA — current commit]
```bash
git diff --stat [BASE_SHA]..[HEAD_SHA]
git diff [BASE_SHA]..[HEAD_SHA]
```
Only read files in this diff. Do not crawl the broader codebase. (One exception: if the requirements cite a spec document, you may read that spec at its cited path.)
## Read-Only Review
Your review is read-only on this checkout. Do not mutate the working tree, the index, HEAD, or branch state in any way. Use tools like `git show`, `git diff`, and `git log` to inspect history. If you need a working copy of a different revision, check it out into a separate temporary directory (e.g. `git worktree add /tmp/review-[SHA] [SHA]`) — never move HEAD on this checkout.
## CRITICAL: Do Not Trust the Report
The implementer finished suspiciously quickly. Their report may be incomplete,
inaccurate, or optimistic. You MUST verify everything independently.
**DO NOT:**
- Take their word for what they implemented
- Trust their claims about completeness
- Accept their interpretation of requirements
**DO:**
- Read the actual code they wrote
- Compare actual implementation to requirements line by line
- Check for missing pieces they claimed to implement
- Look for extra features they didn't mention
## Your Job
Read the implementation code and verify:
**Missing requirements:**
- Did they implement everything that was requested?
- Are there requirements they skipped or missed?
- Did they claim something works but didn't actually implement it?
**Extra/unneeded work:**
- Did they build things that weren't requested?
- Did they over-engineer or add unnecessary features?
- Did they add "nice to haves" that weren't in spec?
**Misunderstandings:**
- Did they interpret requirements differently than intended?
- Did they solve the wrong problem?
- Did they implement the right feature but wrong way?
**Verify by reading code, not by trusting report.**
Report:
- ✅ Spec compliant (if everything matches after code inspection)
- ❌ Issues found: [list specifically what's missing or extra, with file:line references]
