name	book-qa
description	Post-build mechanical and editorial quality gate for non-fiction book artifacts. Runs after build_book and before shipping; the last gate. Deterministic linting (D1-D8) plus per-chapter agent swarm (C1-C15) plus optional metabook defects (D9-D12 from book-thesis) plus optional verifier defects (D13). Use after book-compose builds manuscripts to lint, aggregate QA findings, and drive bounded fixes. Do NOT use for source ingestion (use book-knowledge), prose rewrites (use russellian-style), persona reviews (use book-review), or chapter drafting (use book-compose).

book-qa

Post-build mechanical and editorial defect-gating for non-fiction book artefacts. Runs after book-compose.build_book and before shipping; the last gate.

What it owns

• Deterministic linting of built artefacts for mechanical defects D1-D8.
• Per-chapter editorial sweep C1-C15 via a fresh-context agent swarm returning JSON tickets.
• Aggregation into a single defect ledger with critical / important / minor classification.
• Bounded-iteration patch loop for critical defects via isolated-context healers.
• House-style canon at checklists/house-style.yaml; waivers at <workspace>/qa-waivers.yaml.

What it does NOT own

• Source ingestion, claims, wiki state — book-knowledge.
