CB-REV-0001: the adversarial review, and it was not approvable
Some checks failed
ci / check (push) Failing after 4s

Thirteen challenges, five FATAL, all five conceded. Nothing had reached
ground-game, which is the only reason this is a correction and not a
retraction.

The worst: `Reactive` was not "greedy with one preference changed". It
differed in five, including SpendFreedom — ranked 95 unconditionally
against greedy's `95 if gated else 0` — so the seat burned its Freedom
token in round one of every game. A second change to the exact mechanism
under study, and every number in CB-EV-0031 was measuring it. The pass
claimed ADR-0018's one-varying-parameter discipline in its own workplan
while violating it. GreedyPolicy::rank is now public and the policy
delegates, overriding one match arm, so the control is structurally true.

Withdrawn entirely: "H1-B suppresses DARVO in the attacker". Disabling
H1-B under the corrected policy changes the arm count by exactly zero.
The pass hedged the wrong variable — it disclaimed "the number 2" and
defended "the direction", and the direction is what failed. The
supporting inference was invalid anyway: final Stress cannot show who
armed, because DarvoEnded resets the stage and REVERSE gives its owner -2.

Corrected: criterion 1 was failed on the greedy column while the pass's
own printed table showed 31-1000 arms in the other columns — the
selective-column move, in the file that names it. "Peak Stress was 1" was
a maximum over StressSet payloads, not held state (true: 2); the baseline
game count was 1,600 not 3,200; and "a reckless policy plays identically
to a careful one" is refuted by this repo's own rank-95 policy.

Inert controls replaced, each verified red against the reviewer's own
mutation: the baseline hash test compared two identically-constructed
states (serde(skip) on variant left 57/57 green); the `unchanged:` test
checked 3 of 7 entries and passed with SOLVE made illegal; H1-A's ordering
and H1-B's OU-cancel path had no test at all.

edition-check now covers catalog.yaml and rules_delta.yaml, whose digests
CB-WP-0038 claimed and never recorded — the review found it and reported
it unverified rather than absent, which was the right call.

Still open: H1-B on the DARVO extra-Attack path is untested, regulation.rs
still skips setup failures silently, and round-5 arms are counted though
they can never act.

| # | criterion | verdict |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DARVO arm rate non-trivial, "not 0/500" | **fails** — still **0** under greedy at every seat count |
| 2 | ATTACK selection rises for some subpopulation | **fails** — greedy still attacks **0** times; and for the rank-75 policy ATTACK *fell*, 604 → 180 at 2p |
| 1 | DARVO arm rate non-trivial, "not 0/500" | **not a flat fail.** **0** under greedy; **811000 per cell** under rank-75 and rank-95, baseline *and* H1. It fails for a seat that regulates and passes for one that does not — see [CB-EV-0031](CB-EV-0031-a-seat-that-does-not-regulate.md) |
| 2 | ATTACK selection rises for some subpopulation | **mixed.** Greedy attacks **0** times; rank-75's ATTACK *fell* 604 → 180 at 2p; the unregulated seat's rose 0 → 726 |
| 3 | group success does not collapse | **fails hardest** — greedy's wins go **165 → 0** (3p), **190 → 0** (4p), **200 → 0** (6p) |
| 4 | Bond/GROUND stay better than DARVO | holds, but **vacuously**: DARVO never fires |
