## Verdict
**ITERATE**

## Claim Checks
- Reviewed the normative set without consuming Architect output: `/home/cube/projects/richard/traning coach/.gjc/_session-019f8455-334a-7000-99ca-318dfd0e06b1/plans/ralplan/019f8455-334a-7000-99ca-318dfd0e06b1/stage-15-revision.md` at index SHA-256 `761099d8ad358ee4d667e2f8053f3eddb74ab525dc62ea3e0088a83dcc9e71aa`, with Revision 14 (`cc2b45593affc9b4d1b86e1bee216610e27b5ee2795a37325b32054a1af2de3c`) and Revision 13 (`604064771fc3dcc4166ddcda28c47c6a216f6f1ca807c4160fcd3333f6b5e353`) as explicitly normative predecessors.
- Verified the representative profile surfaces under `/home/cube/.hermes/profiles/physique-coach/workspace/checkin_cli`: strict `Event`/`checkin-event.schema.json`, `WizardSession.kst_day`, `WizardService._event`, `EventStore`/`.events.lock`, mutable registry consent/activation writers, baseline `CustomerSpec.plan`, direct baseline reads in `customer_grounding.py` and `customer_reporting.py`, tests, and runbook. Verified gateway surfaces `gateway/platforms/nutrition_coaching.py`, `telegram.py`, and `nutrition_coaching_config.py`, active `/home/cube/.hermes/profiles/physique-coach/config.yaml`, and `/home/cube/.hermes/profiles/physique-coach/activation/telegram-config.template.yaml`. Planned adaptive modules, policy, catalog, and focused adaptive tests do not yet exist, as expected.
- Downgrade direction is now sound: the existing event model and schema are strict, and Revision 15 keeps source-day metadata outside that wire. An old reader can therefore continue reading canonical events. The remaining source-sidecar failure cases below must be closed before that claim is operationally safe.
- Source-adapter simulation still fails without guesses. Actual canonical `Event` has no root `source_flow`; the only `source_flow` currently present is the coarse `SafetyReason.source_flow` (`customer_checkin|trainer_session`). Wizard flow is represented by root `event_type`, while corrections use generic `event_type=correction`. The plan neither maps every eligible root event type to MORNING/NUTRITION/WORKOUT/TRAINER_SESSION nor says what to do with generic/legacy roots. Also, canonical append precedes sidecar append, but an absent sidecar is treated as legacy-derived: a crash between appends can silently rebucket a new delayed record.
- Canonicalization is materially improved, but byte identity is not fully specified. Snapshot means, water, policy multipliers/tolerances, serving quantities, macro-error values, and several other numeric fields lack explicit wire scales; contract-defined order is not supplied for source/head/reason/candidate arrays; and `current.json` is not identified by exact adaptive path. `observed_energy_tolerance_percent` is named but its comparison equation, denominator, zero behavior, and inclusive boundary are absent.
- Repeated-adjustment simulation exposes a lifecycle dead end. Resolver exclusivity blocks multiple live overlays, but the transition table has no normal atomic replacement transition that closes the old valid interval while making the approved child effective. Appending the new effective event first blocks both; superseding the old first creates a crash-visible baseline gap. The bitemporal resolver also has only an adaptive `as_of_event_sequence`, while consent/activation/config/canonical-source facts live in other mutable/append-only stores with no specified shared cutoff or mandatory mirrored authority events.
- The shared authority lock and strict-topic sender are the correct direction. Existing `_send_message_strict_topic` is a real one-call/no-topic-fallback boundary. However, the proposed taxonomy says an explicit provider response may be `confirmed_not_sent` while also saying any exception after invocation begins is `unknown`; Telegram failures arrive through exceptions, and no exact code/type allowlist resolves this. Replacement safety therefore remains executor-defined.
- Meal/catalog simulation is not executable yet. Existing `CustomerProfile` has preferences, allergies, restrictions, and digestion context, but no meal count, budget, cooking access, or training-time fields. The normative plan does not name a versioned source for those missing customer inputs, serving quantity domains/increments, combination bounds, or the norm used for multi-macro absolute error. Similarly, adaptive adherence defines raw `observed/target*100` and names a tolerance without using it, so over-target intake can pass a lower-bound threshold; macro redistribution lacks an exact per-day carb/fat objective.
- No product edits, tests, formatters, or implementation commands were run; this was a read-only plan review.

## Missing Evidence
Definitely missing before execution:
1. A real-event-type source-flow adapter and crash-consistent, integrity-checked sidecar protocol.
2. A complete canonical field/order table and exact observed-energy comparison.
3. An atomic normal overlay replacement plus a reconstructible cross-store transaction-time rule.
4. Exact lock/config-epoch participants and recovery boundaries.
5. A provider-specific transport certainty table.
6. Exact adherence, macro-redistribution, meal-input, and catalog-search contracts.
7. Golden/crash/race fixtures with expected outcomes for those cases.

## Approval Boundary
No implementation gate is approved from this artifact. Gate A is blocked by root-flow classification, sidecar crash semantics, canonical bytes, and cross-writer serialization. Gates B–D additionally remain blocked by lifecycle replacement, transport certainty, meal/compiler semantics, and the explicitly outstanding user policy values. The separate adaptive stream, immutable baseline, sole resolver, deterministic compiler, external source-day sidecar, monotonic epochs, strict topic-59 transport, and fail-closed rollout remain approved as design direction only.

## Summary
- Clarity: Stronger, but real source fields and several state transitions still disagree with the repository.
- Verifiability: Broad suite names exist; decisive crash, replacement, certainty, and meal vectors lack exact expected results.
- Completeness: Downgrade and high-level bitemporal/transport/config designs improved; source atomicity, normal supersession, and catalog inputs remain incomplete.
- Big Picture: Architecture fits the profile/gateway split and immutable baseline, but lifecycle and cross-store authority must be made reconstructible.
- Principle/Option Consistency: Deterministic/fail-closed principles are sound; silent sidecar fallback, raw adherence, and non-atomic replacement violate them.
- Alternatives Depth: Revision 13's incorporated rationale is sufficient.
- Risk/Verification Rigor: Good breadth, insufficient exactness at the write/transport/valid-time boundaries.

## Required Changes
1. Replace the nonexistent root `source_flow` reference with an explicit table over actual `EventType` values, recursively inherit correction flow from the root, and define inclusion/blocking for `check_in_validated`, `history_imported`, `safety_audit`, unknown roots, and customer/flow mismatches. Give `source-days.jsonl` a strict schema/version/digest/dedupe/conflict rule; distinguish pre-cutover legacy absence from post-cutover corruption; and define recovery after crashes at canonical append, sidecar append, and session-finalization boundaries. A post-cutover root missing its sidecar must block or be deterministically repaired, never silently use save date.
2. Publish a field-by-field canonical table covering every numeric field and collection ordering, including means, water, multipliers, tolerances, servings, error scores, source/head/reason lists, and catalog alternatives. Identify the exact adaptive `current.json` path and serializer. Define observed-energy consistency as an exact Decimal equation with denominator, zero handling, rounding point, and inclusive/exclusive tolerance boundary. Add fixed byte fixtures, not only property assertions.
3. Add one crash-atomic normal overlay replacement contract: either one event simultaneously closes the prior interval and activates the child, or an explicit prepared/commit protocol with deterministic recovery. Enumerate normal deactivate/rollback/supersede event payloads and valid-time effects. Define `as_of_event_sequence` derivation and how registry consent/activation, canonical corrections/safety, and config epochs are represented at that cutoff—prefer mandatory adaptive authority-mirror events under the same transition lock—so historical resolution never reads future mutable state.
4. Name exact lock paths/APIs and require every source-affecting wizard root/correction/safety writer, registry enable/disable/consent writer, adaptive writer, delivery path, and config writer to use the stated order. Define how the profile-global config replacement fans out to the customer epoch stream, what startup does when no stream/customer exists, and recovery if only part of the config/event transaction commits. Add independent-process deadlock/race and sidecar/config crash fixtures.
5. Give `send_adaptive_once_strict_topic` an explicit Telegram exception/response classification table. Resolve whether any post-invocation exception can ever prove not-sent; otherwise classify all of them, including cancellation and malformed success, as unknown. Enumerate allowed `confirmed_not_sent` codes and provider lookup evidence, and test each against replacement authorization and one-call/no-retry behavior.
6. Make policy and meal compilation exact: define adherence using the approved tolerance (including over/under-target symmetry and zero targets), macro-redistribution daily objective/bounds/tie order, and signed calorie-step derivation. Name and version the storage for meal count, budget, cooking access, training time, preferences, restrictions, and digestion inputs; pin its digest in proposals. Define catalog serving units/increments, maximum foods/servings per slot, search bounds, multi-macro error norm, equivalent/fallback semantics, and total tie order.
7. Extend Gate A exits with post-cutover missing/conflicting-sidecar and append-crash cases. Extend later gates with current-overlay replacement crashes, cross-store historical-as-of vectors, every provider certainty code, adherence over/under boundaries, meal-input mutation, catalog combination ties, and interrupted config fanout. State exact expected state/bytes/transport count for each fixture.
