3-persona integrity red-team of docs/stage-07-companion-methods.md (RQ2-P3
mechanism + RQ3), same discipline as the lead stage-08 review. Runs only on
already-sealed artifacts; computes no new statistic; edits no frozen prereg.
METHODOLOGIST: reproduced the authoritative Holm-7 step-down independently,
byte-for-byte vs the sealed record (survivors RQ1-P1 / RQ2-P1 / RQ2-P3;
non-survivors RQ1-P2 / RQ3-P2 / RQ3-P1-perf / RQ3-P1-latency). Confirmed the
supersedes-partial-embedding claim, the single-slot RQ2-P3 mechanism-corrected
p (family_size 7), run-level cluster-bootstrap validity, two-sided pre-commit.
DOMAIN SKEPTIC: mix-qualifies-shrink scoped as correction not overwrite;
calibration preview (dry-pass rho -> +0.838) disclosed and kept DISTINCT from
the confirmatory pooled +0.6244; RQ3 double-null unspun (perf = retention
ceiling / no headroom; P2 = n=30 power limitation, not a false all-clear).
REPRODUCIBILITY AUDITOR: every figure matches the sealed records (rq2p3
5fdcb379, rq3 analysis e09c66ef, rq3 battery 5b61e461); the 0.93 calibration
AUC (kp30-vs-kp5 regime) kept distinct from the 0.587 confirmatory
agent-vs-baseline AUC (no HARKing); Ollama temp-0 cross-hardware caveat
present; both prereg SHAs (f22331a72e, 8db4e8a7) recomputed intact; blinding
integrity = each track filled once, post-seal.
One prose-clarity defect found and fixed: §5 Holm-7 ranks 6-7 report the
step-down monotone-enforced 0.511 (bare products 0.354 / 0.497); added a
one-clause note so it cannot read as an arithmetic slip. ZERO numbers changed.
Worktree-only on feat/sor-consent-relay; containment intact; $0/offline.
