# Task Review: - [x] 7.0 Add CLI feedback logging for fix loop

## Review Complete: Task 7.0 -- Add CLI Feedback Logging for Fix Loop

### Consolidated Verdict: **REQUEST-CHANGES**

6 of 7 expert reviewers request changes (Security approves with recommendations).

### Key Findings

**3 Blocking Issues:**

1. **Missing log message** (flagged by ALL 7 reviewers): The `"  Fix phase completed (cost=$X.XX)"` message required by FR-7 is completely absent from the implementation. After the fix phase succeeds, the code jumps straight to "Re-running holistic review..." with no cost feedback. This is the most important observability signal in the loop.

2. **Exhaustion message format mismatch** (6 reviewers): FR-7 specifies `"Fix loop exhausted after 2 iterations. Pipeline failed."` but the implementation outputs `"Fix loop: all 2 iterations exhausted. Pipeline failed."` — different wording that could break CI parsers.

3. **No tests on log output** (6 reviewers): Not a single test captures stderr to verify the FR-7 log messages. The entire task is about CLI feedback, yet you could delete every `_log()` call and all tests would still pass.

### Non-Blocking Recommendations
- Budget guard should check `remaining < 3 * per_phase` (fix + review + decision cycle) per FR-6
- Remove dead `if verdict != "GO"` guard
- Swap budget guard / iteration header ordering for better UX
- Consider embedding decision findings in user prompt for better fix success rate
