# Decision Gate

Verdict: **GO**

Based on my thorough review of all artifacts, here is my decision:

---

```
VERDICT: GO
```

### Rationale
All 29 functional requirements from the PRD are met (confirmed by the Principal Systems Engineer's FR-by-FR checklist). Three of four reviewer personas approve (Karpathy, Systems Engineer, Security Engineer), with only Linus requesting changes. Linus's findings are exclusively LOW-to-MEDIUM severity — cosmetic test name typos (double underscores), a stale docstring, a naive Makefile regex, and leftover planning artifacts from a reverted feature. No CRITICAL or HIGH findings exist across any reviewer. The core verification gate architecture is unanimously praised: zero-cost subprocess, budget-guarded retries, proper Phase enum integration, thorough test coverage (48 new tests, all passing), and full backward compatibility when `verify_command` is null.

### Unresolved Issues
- Two test names have spurious double underscores (`test_review_skipped_when_no__reviewer_personas`, `test_multiple__reviewer_personas`) — cosmetic, tests still run correctly
- A docstring references `save_run_log` (public) but the function is still `_save_run_log` (private) on this branch
- Unrelated PRD/task/review artifacts from the reverted `colonyos review <branch>` feature remain on the branch
- `_detect_test_command` Makefile check (`"test:" in content`) can false-positive on targets like `integration_test:` — should use `^test:` regex
- Verify UI header displays model name for a $0 subprocess phase (misleading but harmless)
- `TimeoutExpired` handler discards partial stdout/stderr (minor reliability gap for v1)

### Recommendation
Merge as-is. The unresolved issues are all LOW severity and none affect correctness or safety. File a follow-up ticket to address Linus's cleanup items (test name typos, Makefile regex, stale docstring, unrelated artifacts) in a subsequent housekeeping PR. The timeout partial-output harvesting and stdout/stderr interleaving are good v2 enhancements but explicitly out of scope for this iteration.
