Handoff gates: a grammar declared on an object type's transition, a deterministic check that refuses and returns weak work to the seat that produced it, and a judge with the seat's own rubric that passes, returns with a reason code, or escalates to a person. Why the next seat is not the judge, why there is no second review product, and what the first reference runs measured. vocion-core#672, #683.
Per-product reference sets: synthetic inputs written the way a request actually arrives, real shipped commits as the gold standard, a standards page the seat reads and a dataset it never sees. The first set's baseline was 2 of 16 — and why that is the right number to start from.
Release notes 2026-09-15 — vocion-core#323 (merged) adds a model override to evals and a comparison that reports pass rate, tokens and cost per passed case; GPT-6 Astra, the GPT-5.6 family and the Claude 5 family are priced in the catalog.
