E.19:2 - Problem
Without a unified, explicit review pattern:
- Different reviewers optimize for formal or template compliance and miss deeper ontological, semantic, and naming issues, producing bureaucratic output that does not improve the enforceable Conformance Checklist.
- Authors “optimize for the visible checklist” and miss hidden requirements (lexical discipline, Bridge hygiene, SoTA‑Echoing quality, scope claims, delta‑class impact).
- Older patterns accumulate conceptual staleness and diverge from current practice, current terminology, or current internal invariants.
- The specification’s normative content becomes harder to trust: compliance becomes a matter of reviewer taste rather than a repeatable gate.
