Fixes the final-report validator defects from Issue #698 (original lead
plus the independent reproduction recorded during the PR #703 formal
review, comment 11246):
- Legacy fields: the review/merger required-field tables no longer demand
'Pinned reviewed head', 'Scratch worktree used', 'Worktree path',
'Worktree dirty', 'Mutations', 'Next', 'Issue/PR', 'Branch/SHA', or
'Files changed' — names the canonical review-merge-final-report schema
forbids or replaces. The canonical names ('Reviewed head SHA', 'Review
worktree path/dirty', 'Safe next action', mutation categories) are
required instead, with backward-compatible aliases where the schema
permits them.
- Structured proof: workflow-load helper results are recognized in
colon, key=value, and JSON renderings; validation pass proof is
accepted anywhere in the Validation field value (for example
'focused 50 passed; full 2665 passed').
- Mutation inference: review mutations are inferred only from
authoritative evidence (performed=true and not gated); read-only
diagnostics and pre-API rejections no longer count as mutations.
- Lease release vs cleanup: canonical reviewer lease release (release
tool call or terminal phase=released marker) is lease lifecycle, not
post-merge cleanup, and no longer triggers the branch/worktree cleanup
checklist; genuine delete/remove claims still require full proof.
- Blocked reports: a legitimately blocked run that states an explicit
'Reviewed/Candidate head SHA: none' with no verdict, merge, or started
validation owes no head proofs; approval-time and merge-time live-head
proofs are demanded only once the corresponding phase begins, and a
report that states no head at all still fails closed.
- action_log robustness: malformed (non-dict) entries and non-list logs
are reported as clear sanitized findings (position and type only, no
content echo) instead of crashing with AttributeError; a defective
validator rule now fails closed with a sanitized block finding rather
than raising a secondary exception.
27 new regression tests, including canonical fixtures modeled on the
PR #703 formal-review handoff and the blocked preflight report from the
prior #698 reproductions. Two legacy-field test fixtures updated to the
canonical schema. Full suite: 2663 passed, 6 skipped, 161 subtests.
