The mesh proves which machine called, not which agent on it (hq issue 365), so a review verb could not tell a
reviewer from the author. Each version proposed is now judged by claude-code.claude_code_judge in a separate
call that sees only the record, the records it links and the rules: approve accepts (or asks the operator for a
needs-operator record), changes keeps it proposed with the findings for its author, and a judgement that cannot
be had or read leaves it proposed, says so, and never counts as approval.

An agent learns what a decision says only by reading whole records. This module
holds every decision record and research effort whole in a database in the store,
with clauses that carry their own status and source, typed links read from both
ends, and every version. It answers ask, get and holds within a stated bound, and
takes a record through reserve, propose (refused on any of the 29 per-record
rules), review by someone other than the author, and acceptance, on the
operator's proven warrant when the record needs it. The 4 whole-set rules make
the module unhealthy when they fail. The import reads hq at a commit through the
records module, never overwrites, and changes nothing when run again. Prose
decisions get drafted clauses that a second judgement must confirm before they
are served.
