## Review Complete — Linus Torvalds (Round 1)

VERDICT: **approve** ✅

FINDINGS:
- **[src/colonyos/instructions/learn.md]**: Clean, minimal fix. 12 lines added — explicit tool list, concrete Glob pattern, negative constraint. All necessary, nothing superfluous.
- **[tests/test_orchestrator.py]**: Two targeted regression tests (25 lines) verify positive tool mentions and negative constraint language. All 18 learn-related tests pass.
- **[cOS_prds/..., cOS_tasks/...]**: PRD correctly scoped, all tasks marked complete, no TODOs remaining.
- No unrelated changes, no secrets, no dependency additions.

SYNTHESIS:
This is a textbook bug fix. The problem was a prompt that said "do the thing" without saying "with these specific tools." The agent guessed wrong, crashed, and burned the budget on retries. The fix adds 12 lines to the instruction template and 25 lines of regression tests. No architectural changes, no scope creep. Ship it.
