No seat is spawned without a verification line

Why the fleet missed the bar: under-specified acceptance (spec, ~60%) plus silent substitution and receipts-instead-of-URLs (execution, ~40%). The rule that came out of it gates every spawn since.

The decision

plan/decisions.json, verbatim
D-25 · the call

Under-specified acceptance (3 of 50 modules had a verification line) + Shaan's standards installed only for Claude + peer traffic on the one UI seat = spec (~60%); silent substitution and receipts-instead-of-URLs = execution (~40%). Rule from now: no seat is spawned for a module without a one-line 'you will open X and see Y' verification, and the ui-bank/console/atlas skills go into the Codex home before the next Astra wave.

What reverses it

What reverses it

Shaan saying so. Or evidence that seats with a verification line miss the bar at the same rate as those without (the ratio is REVIEW-ZERO's reading of 12 closed seats, not a measurement).
