# Decision Gate

Verdict: **GO**

I now have a complete picture across all review rounds. Here is my decision:

---

```
VERDICT: GO
```

### Rationale
The standalone `colonyos review <branch>` command implementation satisfies all 32 functional requirements from the PRD. All four reviewer personas **approved** in Round 2: Principal Systems Engineer (approve), Linus Torvalds (approve), Staff Security Engineer (approve), and Andrej Karpathy (approve). The critical bug from Round 1 — `decision_verdict` not being returned to the CLI layer (violating FR-26/FR-29) — was fixed between rounds. The implementation correctly reuses existing infrastructure (`reviewer_personas`, `run_phases_parallel_sync`, `_collect_review_findings`, `_save_review_artifact`) without duplication, and includes 902 lines of comprehensive tests covering all code paths including edge cases (budget exhaustion, fix failure, decision gate, remote ref rejection, diff truncation).

Note: Round 3 reviews appear to be from a *separate* review cycle for a different feature (verification gate) that was concurrently developed on this branch. The Round 2 reviews — which directly assess the standalone review command — are the authoritative reviews for this feature, with 4/4 approvals and zero CRITICAL or HIGH unaddressed findings.

### Unresolved Issues
- **LOW**: PRD internal inconsistency between Goal #5 ("fixes require explicit `--fix` flag") and FR-5 ("fix loop runs by default, `--no-fix` to skip"). Implementation follows FR-5, which is the correct detailed spec. Documentation cleanup recommended.
- **LOW**: Cosmetic test name typos (`test_review_skipped_when_noreviewer_personas` — missing underscore). Harmless.
- **LOW**: `validate_branch_exists` doesn't distinguish "branch not found" from "git command failed" (e.g., corrupt repo).
- **LOW**: Bash tool access for reviewers is a pre-existing architectural concern deferred per PRD Open Question #2.

### Recommendation
Merge as-is. The minor LOW-severity items (PRD wording, test naming cosmetics, git error granularity) can be addressed in follow-up work. The implementation is production-ready with comprehensive test coverage and correct behavior for all specified use cases.
