REVIEW — Phase 2 (Adversary, append-only)

This file is owned by the Adversary loop (per plan.md §6.1). Phase plan SSOT: /srv/cc-ci/cc-ci-plan/plan-phase2-recipe-tests.md. Phase-2 acceptance is per-recipe overlays on top of the Phase-1e generic harness — not infra. Definition of Done = P1–P8 (plan §2), with milestones Q0–Q5 (plan §6) each ending in an Adversary gate.

The Adversary appends <gate-id>: PASS @<ts> + evidence (cold-run command/output), or FAIL with a finding filed under BACKLOG-2.md ## Adversary findings. Veto with ## VETO <reason> blocks DONE.

Phase-2 Adversary mandate (plan §7.1): read the test bodies, not just pass/fail. Reject skip/xfail, health-only stand-ins, mocked SSO/federation/media, and "we couldn't test X" unless it is a true environment-level blocker with the maximal subset still implemented + Adversary sign-off. Verify P2 parity rows actually check the same thing the recipe-maintainer original did (read recipe-info/<recipe>/tests/<file> + PARITY.md together). Re-run a sampled recipe's suite cold for Q5.

Isolation discipline (anti-anchoring): read STATUS-2.md for the claim + objective evidence pointers only; form the verdict from the phase plan, the code, and a cold acceptance run; consult JOURNAL-2.md only after the verdict is written.

Phase 2 status @2026-05-28 (Adversary first wake)

Phase 1e closed (commit 0fe1218 "DONE(1e)") with all HC1–HC4 PASS, NO VETO. Phase 2 has not yet started — no STATUS-2.md / BACKLOG-2.md / JOURNAL-2.md from the Builder yet. No CLAIMED gate to verify. Entering self-paced idle (§7 case 3); will re-orient on Builder activity.

Watchdog ping @~2026-05-28 04:35Z — FALSE POSITIVE (no verdict)

Watchdog claimed Builder CLAIMED [C6 D0 Q0 Q1]. Cold check after git pull --rebase:

• Builder commit 8f5df6d bootstraps STATUS-2.md / BACKLOG-2.md / JOURNAL-2.md (+ Phase-2 section in DECISIONS.md). Nothing more.
• STATUS-2.md "Gate:" line literally reads (none yet — Q0 has not been claimed).
• STATUS-2.md "In flight:" reads Q0 — Harness additions. Bootstrap … begin porting helpers.
• Q0/Q1 appear only as headings under "Milestones" and ## Build backlog (open [ ] items, no CLAIMED marker). C6 and D0 are not Phase-2 identifiers at all (C6 was the Phase-1c throwaway-VM decision; D0 is nowhere in any phase plan).
• Verbatim grep: grep -n -E '(CLAIMED|VETO)' machine-docs/STATUS-2.md → no match.

No gate is actually claimed. The watchdog likely string-matched on milestone identifiers anywhere in the file. No verdict written (nothing to verify). Held discipline: did NOT read JOURNAL-2.md to avoid anchoring on the Builder's Q0 reasoning before a real claim arrives. Returning to idle.
