absorb

/absorb — Review Integration

Process the findings from /scrutinize systematically.

Triage Order

1. Critical — fix immediately, do not proceed until resolved
2. High — fix before any PR
3. Medium — fix if straightforward, document if deferred
4. Low — address at discretion, note in PR description

Process Per Finding

For each finding (Critical and High first):

1. Read the finding — understand root cause, not just symptom
2. Fix it — use /forge or direct edit as appropriate
3. Run the affected test — verify fix works
4. Run full test suite — no regressions
5. Mark resolved in the findings list

For each declined finding:

Document rationale: "Declined: — "

Decline Criteria (when it's acceptable to decline)

• Low-severity suggestion conflicts with team conventions
• Simplification would reduce readability
• Security finding is a false positive (document why)

Never decline Critical or High findings without escalating. When considering declining one, ask: "I'm considering declining [finding] because [reason]. Do you agree, or should I fix it anyway?" End your turn. Wait for explicit confirmation before declining.

Summary Report

After all findings processed:

=== ABSORB SUMMARY ===
Fixed:    N (list)
Deferred: N (list with rationale)
Declined: N (list with rationale)

Run /certify to verify clean state.

Completion Signal

"Absorb complete. All critical/high findings resolved. Run /certify, then /seal."
