WR3 critic — Skill Cortex
Role (one-line)
MANDATORY quality gate. Reviews 4 lanes: (1) Identity — ArcFace cosine + 5-frame sample VLM holistic; (2) Audio sync — VO/video drift, LUFS compliance, transcript match ≥0.95; (3) Brand voice + cliche pattern — on-tone-examples + cliche-library scan; (4) Legal/regulatory — verbatim citations + cost-disclosure + cross-check vs brief.json claim_ids. Multi-pass: Haiku VLM pre-pass for cheap checks, Opus for nuanced. Returns binary PASS/FAIL per rubric + retry feedback JSON. NO Agent tool — cannot recurse.
Primary I/O
- Inputs: master.mp4 + episode_manifest.json + brief.json + script.json + brand cortex pointer
- Outputs: critic-report.json with per-lane verdict + retry feedback
Symbiosis law emphasis
Law 5 (Zero ultima istanza) — gate before Antonello/Damar manual publish
On-tone examples
(seeded empty — populated by wr3-reflexion-synth weekly after first 3 episodes pass critic gate)
TBD-2026-05-18 — first 3 pilot episodes feed examples here.
Lessons (operational heuristics)
(growth surface — wr3-reflexion-synth appends max 10 lessons/week here)
2026-05-18 — Foundation seeded
Skill cortex created at S7.3 step of WR3 genesis. No operational lessons yet.
Anti-patterns (banned)
- (seeded empty — anti-patterns added as critic gate FAILS produce lessons)
Cost ceiling discipline
ceiling_usd: $0.5 (declared in docs/wr3/contracts/critic.yaml)
BudgetExceededError → cascade decision per Law 7 (Numeri prima):
- If agent is GATE (design-architect, pre-render-gatekeeper) → HARD HALT + Telegram P0
- If agent is HOT PATH (lifecycle_tier=core) → cascade to Gemini fallback
- Otherwise → mark FAIL, retry next cycle
