| description | Use to close open spikes and round-disturbed assumptions before lock. Runs Stage 6 and routes back if evidence refutes the draft. Trigger for reconcile RDR, $rdr-reconcile, or /rdr-reconcile. |
rdr-reconcile — Stage 6 (Reconcile Spikes & Assumptions)
Close the gap the review rounds opened. Stage 4 verified the assumptions as the
draft stood then; Stages 5–6 mutated it. This gate runs once, after all rounds,
forcing every open spike and every round-disturbed assumption to a terminal state
before Finalize. It is a forced gate, not a checkbox.
Usage
Codex: $rdr-reconcile <NNNN>
Claude: /rdr-reconcile <NNNN>
- Read
rdr-common.md; run §seam-bind + §rdr-resolve
to bind $RDR_RESOURCES, $RDR_ENV, RDR_PATH, {SPIKE_DIR}. Have the Pre-Lock
needs-verification list(s) ready to paste.
- Preflight Stage 5 completeness before reconciling. Re-read
Profile and
Normative Contracts. If a required profile lens is missing, or mid/large
Determinacy fired without evidence/repeatability/run-1.md + diff.md or
determinacy: n/a - <reason>, stop: NOT RECONCILED — return to Stage 5,
with the exact next /rdr-prelock NNNN ... command. run-2/run-3 beside a
run-1.md whose variant: header reads lite (not full (escalated: …)) is a
variant mismatch (full ran where lite was owed) — flag it (Caveats), don't
silently pass it as done.
- Run the prompt
06-reconcile.prompt.md;
paste the Pre-Lock list(s) where its <paste the list(s)> marker is. It builds the
open set from four sources (Pre-Lock list, still-Pending assumptions, named-but-
unrun spikes, the exactness-word delta), forces ONE disposition each, and writes
it into the RDR's Critical Assumptions section (not just a report). Delegate
spike runs / corpus reads to a Task sub-agent returning verdict + evidence
pointer (§return-packet) (rdr-common §delegation).
- Absorption-audit delegation (mined — recurs verbatim). To build source 3 +
confirm the rounds were folded in, spawn one
Task sub-agent over the lens
output dirs that exist for this slug
({EVIDENCE_DIR}/{3amigo,critique,repeatability,cove}/<RDR_SLUG>/): "report, per
round, whether every finding was absorbed into the current RDR or survives as
residue; list each unabsorbed finding + the spike/assumption it implies." It
returns the residue list, not the round files. The main agent writes the
dispositions into the RDR.
- Two hard rules the prompt enforces: a spike that refutes an assumption the
RDR relies on is a BLOCKER that re-opens the RDR (never a wording fix); an
MVV-critical spike cannot defer past lock.
Review gate (Stage 06-reconcile.md)
- The open set is complete (all four sources, especially claims silently introduced
by a fix pass).
- Any refutation → verdict NOT RECONCILED with a named return stage, not a quietly
edited assumption.
- DOWNGRADED items genuinely survivable; spikes actually run with captured output.
- Dispositions landed in the RDR, not only the report (Stage 7 reads the RDR).
Next step (rdr-common §next-step)
- If autocommit is on, run §commit for
reconcile first (+ a separate reconcile-evidence commit; see the rdr-common table).
- Verdict RECONCILED →
Next: /rdr-finalize NNNN.
- Verdict NOT RECONCILED → back to the named stage:
/rdr-propose NNNN (approach),
/rdr-refine NNNN, or /rdr-resolve NNNN (re-resolve).
/rdr-status NNNN to re-orient.
