+# W8 coherence — closing report
+
+Bead: `age-skill-overhaul-reboot-sjv7v.9`. Ran after all seven content
+waves merged (#998–#1005).
+
+## Deterministic checks
+
+- Regeneration byte-idempotence: `scripts/regen-all.sh` run twice on merged
+  main — zero dirty files after either run.
+- `check-scenario-test-linkage.sh` PASS (75 scenarios / 23 linked / 15
+  doc-only files).
+- `validate-skill-frontmatter.sh --strict` 49/49, zero warnings.
+- `codex-desc-avg-budget.bats` 3/3.
+- Effects survey: 43/49 skills declare concrete effects; the six
+  `effects: []` (automation-shape-routing, craft-goal, domain, scope,
+  shared, standards) are all response-only by design.
+
+## Closing corpus-level review (cross-family, one round)
+
+Seven findings, judged only on corpus-level properties no per-wave review
+could see. All seven applied:
+
+1. rpi↔implement trigger collision ("execute this plan"/"build this plan")
+   — implement's trigger narrowed to "implement this bead", with an
+   explicit route-to-rpi note.
+2. `authorized_` effect-prefix inconsistency — `execute_authorized_binary`
+   renamed `authorized_binary_execution`.
+3. skill-builder effects normalized to the corpus imperative forms
+   (`write_skill_source`, `regenerate_skill_projections`,
+   `repair_skill_projections`).
+4. plan↔craft-goal trigger collision — craft-goal's triggers now name the
+   Mayor/goal-runner distinction and drop the generic "turn this into a
+   goal" forms.
+5. status↔reality-check overlap — reality-check now requires a claim to
+   test ("is this claim actually done").
+6. research↔codebase-recon overlap — bare "investigate" narrowed to
+   "investigate this question" with a route-to-recon note.
+7. shared reachability — description now states "Triggers: none — internal
+   library, not user-routable" (user-invocable was already false).
+
+No authority violations found: only validate claims verdict persistence,
+only rpi claims loop dispatch, no specialist claims to start RPI.
