# Review by Linus Torvalds (Round 1)

## Review Summary

**VERDICT: request-changes**

I reviewed the full implementation — config layer, instruction templates, orchestrator pipeline changes, resume logic, and all tests (62 passing). The structure follows existing patterns well and the test coverage is solid. But there are two real bugs that need fixing before this ships:

### Critical Issues

1. **`_verify_detected_failures()` will false-positive on real test output** — The function matches bare substrings like `"error"` and `"failed"` against the entire verify output. Any test suite that validates error-handling behavior (e.g., a test named `test_error_handler` or output containing `"ErrorHandler"`) will trigger a false "tests failed" detection. The fix is straightforward: have the verify agent output a structured `VERDICT: PASS` / `VERDICT: FAIL` line and parse it with `_extract_verdict()` — the exact same pattern already used for the decision gate.

2. **`_compute_next_phase()` is missing `"learn": "verify"`** — If a run fails during verify, the last *successful* phase is `"learn"`. But `"learn"` isn't in the mapping, so `_compute_next_phase("learn")` returns `None` and resume breaks. The test file itself has a 20-line comment acknowledging this bug and working around it by manually constructing a `ResumeState` with `last_successful_phase="decision"`.

### Minor

3. The verify loop iteration count (`max_fix_attempts + 1` iterations = `max_fix_attempts` fixes + 1 final check) is correct but deserves a comment to prevent future off-by-one confusion.
