## Summary
The revision artifact is recorded in its RALPLAN index with SHA-256 `088e8b91d8966cc9638c0216221bcb04557e51715df390a9ee3c9f311128b1c2`. Every explicit approved-principle cardinality in stage 02 is exactly `3..5`; the stage-01-to-stage-02 diff contains only the three required `1..5` → `3..5` corrections, preserving all prior closures.

## Claims
- `index.jsonl` records stage `revision`, `stage_n: 2`, this exact path, and the requested SHA-256.
- The interface contract, finite-semantic-atoms rule, final closure, and acceptance criterion all specify `3..5`.
- `git diff --no-index` between `stage-01-planner.md` and `stage-02-revision.md` reports precisely three insertions/deletions, each changing only `1..5` to `3..5`.
- The unchanged revisions retain OpenAI-only execution-agent constraint, provider-preservation closure, typed inputs, atom-only model selection, UTF-8 byte caps, consent/authority gates, final pre-publication discard gate, canonical fallback, receipt privacy, profile parity, and narrow adaptive scope.

## Analysis
The revised cardinality contract is internally consistent at each formerly conflicting specification point. The final closure remains explicit: fewer than three or more than five principles produces byte-identical canonical output with zero model calls. No closure language was removed or weakened; the diff proves scope was limited to the exact cardinality correction.

## Root Cause
None. The earlier draft had three stale `1..5` bounds; revision 02 corrects all of them without modifying unrelated closure clauses.

## Findings
None.

## Recommendations
Proceed with implementation against stage 02. Implement tests for 2-, 3-, 5-, and 6-principle grounding inputs, asserting canonical output and zero calls outside the inclusive `3..5` range.

## Architectural Status
CLEAR

## Code Review Recommendation
APPROVE

## Tradeoffs
- Exact `3..5` enforcement reduces availability for underspecified grounding, but the required canonical, zero-call fallback preserves correctness and privacy.
