Modes
scoped: run only for aCANONICALorFROZENchange and only for affected Qx/identifiers.final: run across all submission artifacts before assembly.
Sources of Truth
Prefer:
frozen_numbers.jsonfor paper numbers;qx_decisions.jsonlfor human judgments;planning/symbol_table.mdfor symbols/units;- approved code plan and run summary for parameters and executed methods;
- solution package for writer-facing structure.
Use legacy decision logs or Markdown reviews only during migration.
Checks
- Numerical claims match frozen values and units.
- Formula, parameter, constraint, and method roles match approved code and plan.
- Symbols and units match the global symbol table.
- Referenced tables, figures, code, and data files exist.
- Why-this-method, result verdict, stability, confidence, and claim scope resolve to human decision IDs.
- Freeze and decisions are not stale relative to materially changed cited evidence.
Scoped Workflow
- Receive changed files/identifiers and their impact class.
- Resolve affected Qx and downstream consumers.
- Check only those relationships.
- Return a compact digest or save
results/Qx/reports/scoped_consistency.jsonwhen durable evidence is needed. - Do not rewrite other artifacts.
Final Workflow
- Check all submission Qx.
- Save
paper/audits/cross_media_consistency_audit.md. - Report
PASSED,FAILED, orNOT_RUN. - List concrete divergences and repair owners. Do not pad a pass list.
Rules
- Do not run a full audit for formatting, comments, scratch work, or ordinary pre-freeze exploration.
- Do not infer canonical numbers from the paper.
- Do not repair divergences inside the audit.
- Do not approve final assembly directly.
Verification
- Scope matches the semantic impact.
- Every divergence identifies source, consumer, and expected repair.
- Final audit covers all six check classes.
- Verdict follows actual evidence rather than an item count.
