## Review Complete: Principal Systems Engineer (Round 2)

**VERDICT: request-changes**

The branch (`ccc812b`) has real, substantive implementation — 1,269 lines across 21 files with 29 passing tests. The individual building blocks (CEO profiles, log writer, scroll fix, transcript export) are well-crafted. But the **integration layer has critical gaps**:

### Critical (3 findings)
1. **Two-tier Ctrl+C is broken** — First press calls `self.exit()`, killing the TUI immediately instead of gracefully stopping the auto loop between iterations (FR-1.5)
2. **TranscriptLogWriter never instantiated** — The class exists and is tested, but is never imported or used at runtime. Zero log files are created during TUI sessions (FR-3 integration)
3. **No budget/time cap enforcement** in `_run_auto_in_tui` — `auto --loop 50` has no spending guardrail in the TUI path, unlike the CLI path which enforces both (FR-1.2)

### High (4 findings)
4. `--persona` flag not parsed (FR-2.4 unreachable)
5. No concurrent auto loop guard (FR-1.7 race condition)
6. Custom CEO profiles not sanitized on config load (FR-2.7 prompt injection risk)
7. `.colonyos/logs/` not gitignored (FR-3.2 missing)

### Medium/Low (3 findings)
8. Transcript export uses default umask instead of 0o600
9. `current_adapter` accessed cross-thread without lock
10. No integration tests for `_run_auto_in_tui`

**Bottom line**: The architecture is right, the components are solid — this is a last-mile integration problem, not a redesign. ~2-3 hours of focused wiring work to close all findings.
