rdr-reconcile

name	rdr-reconcile
metadata	{"argument-hint":"<NNNN> [--commit | --no-commit]"}
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>

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
