 Honest engagement note: per the methodology's flag-dissonance principle, the systemic citation-cleanup recommendation in S-1 includes the audit prompt's own `TD-09 / IM-04` mis-pair as evidence that the project has a recurring drift on substrate IDs. This is meta — the audit prompt recommended citing pattern IDs concretely, and I cited the prompt's own ID-drift back at it because the trend is the finding. CDC may rule that the prompt's drift is out of scope; I've surfaced it because the trending discipline asked me to.
 
 When CDC reviews: every per-row Verify is a `grep -n 'quoted-text' <file>` against the cited file:line, plus a re-read of the named substrate pattern ID. The protocol holds when CC's findings reproduce against an independent reading; my self-assessment of the report's verifiability is "high — every finding is anchored at file:line + verbatim quote."

+| F-5   | **closed in PR-B**  | `internal/cli/errors.go`'s `*GitDiffError` now carries a `Dir string` field next to `Cmd []string`, mirroring `*golist.ExitError`'s shape exactly. `classifyGitDiffError`'s third parameter is `dir string` (was `_`); the caller at `internal/cli/cli.go` passes `cfg.root` which is now stored on `*GitDiffError.Dir` instead of being discarded. New assertion in `internal/cli/seam_test.go`'s `TestClassifyGitDiffError/exec_exit_error` verifies `ge.Dir == "/m"`. ✓                                                                              |
+| F-14  | **closed in PR-B**  | `gitDiffResult` (`internal/cli/seam.go`) grew an `argv []string` field; `defaultRunGitDiff` constructs argv once and uses it both for the actual `exec.CommandContext` invocation and as the returned diagnostic argv — they cannot drift. The synthetic argv reconstruction at `internal/cli/cli.go`'s `loadChangeSet` is removed; the call site now reads `classifyGitDiffError(res.err, res.argv, cfg.root, res.stderr, ctx)` and the comment names F-14. Tests that synthesize `gitDiffResult` without setting `argv` produce nil Cmd in the diagnostic — acceptable for the existing tests (none assert on Cmd); a future test that needs the argv sets it on the synthetic result. ✓ |
+
+`make check` (build + lint via `golangci-lint` + `go test -race -count=1 ./...`) passes against PR-B's working tree.
+
+When PR-A and PR-B both land on `main`, every audit finding is closed: 14 + PROMPT-1 via PR-A, F-5 + F-14 via PR-B. Net: 16 of 16 (plus the meta-finding) closed. No deferrals at exit.
