+            (iframe-measured baseline). pendingLayout suppresses the image
+            overlay so zone editing and image editing never compete for the
+            same pointer events.
+
+            For every stamped user-content image we render a transparent
+            wrapper at the image's slide-absolute coords. Wrapper picks up
+            the body-drag gesture (move the image without resizing). When
+            the image is the `selectedImageId` we additionally render 8
+            resize handles. Aspect ratio is LOCKED on corner drags by
+            default; holding Shift during the drag unlocks it (matches the
+            issue contract "corner_resize_ratio_default_locked_shift_unlock").
+
+            Coordinate space: slide-absolute percent (0–100) throughout —
+            measured / persisted / emitted values share the same units as
+            the u7 CSS injector (`left/top/width/height: {value}%`) and the
+            u3 typed-client `ImageOverride` contract. CSS values are
+            written verbatim ({geom.x}%, no scale factor) and pixel deltas
+            from MouseEvent are converted to percent via
+            `(dx_px / W_SCALED) * 100` so the round-trip drag → save →
+            re-render produces identical geometry. IMP-51 (#79) u9 moved
+            the resize / move math to `clampImagePercentGeometry` in
+            `slideCanvasDragMath.ts` so the boundary contract Codex #16
+            verified is exercised directly by vitest (mirror of how IMP-54

+//
+//   2. Pixel-delta → slide-body fraction conversion plus clamp to keep the
+//      moved zone fully inside the slide body. Width/height are preserved
+//      verbatim by this helper — only `x` and `y` move.
+//

+//   • Front/vite.config.ts (handleGet/PutUserOverrides, u3/u4)
+// This module is the typed view used by Home.tsx restore-on-reopen (u6) and

+// to KNOWN_AXES must land in u1/u4 first, then reflect here.

+// IMP-51 (#79) u3 — added `image_overrides` (5th axis). `image_id` → percent-

+// Front/vite.config.ts KNOWN_USER_OVERRIDES_AXES (u2). Backend stamper +

+//
+// Contract (Stage 2 unit u5 summary):
+//   • Typed `getUserOverrides(key)` → returns `Partial<UserOverrides>` from
+//     the GET endpoint. Missing / corrupt / non-object payloads degrade to
+//     `{}` so the frontend reopen flow never crashes on a fresh MDX.
+//   • Typed `saveUserOverrides(key, partial)` → schedules a 300ms-debounced
+//     PUT carrying ONLY the axes the user has mutated since the last flush.
+//     Per-axis coalescing: a later call overwrites the same axis in the
+//     pending payload; axes the user did not mutate are NOT sent (the
+//     server-side merge in u4 preserves them on disk).
+//   • Per-key debounce buckets — rapid edits to MDX "03" do not delay the
+//     flush for MDX "04".
+//   • Explicit clear sentinel: `partial[axis] = null` forwards to the PUT
+//     body verbatim so u4 `mergeUserOverrides` can `delete` the axis on disk.
+//   • `flushUserOverrides()` / `flushUserOverrides(key)` force an immediate

+// Scope (Stage 2 unit u5 contract):
+//   1) formatAiRepairHumanReviewMessage(...) surfaces a user-facing toast
+//      ONLY on the three operational Anthropic API error kinds (quota /
+//      billing / auth) classified by Step 12 u2
+//      (classify_operational_error) and aggregated through u3
+//      ai_repair_status.api_error_kinds.
+//   2) Non-operational AI failures (validation / coverage_violated /
+//      unsupported_kind / generic "other") return null so the
+//      auto-pipeline stays silent per feedback_auto_pipeline_first and
+//      the #84 operational-vs-non-operational replacement-plan contract.
+//   3) Replaces the prior IMP-47B u11 surface — previously rendered toasts
+//      for error / coverage_violated / unsupported_kind. After IMP-92 the
+//      ONLY operational reaches the user; non-operational stays silent.
+//
+// Pure-function unit test (no React Testing Library required — vitest is
+// already in devDependencies; @testing-library/* is NOT installed). The
+// Home.tsx wiring is a 2-line site (`Home.tsx:438`) that calls this helper
+// after `setRunMeta(...)`; covering the helper covers the user-visible
+// message text directly without DOM rendering.
+//
+// The test file path is preserved from IMP-47B u11 (Stage 2 plan

+// IMP-52 u6 — vitest coverage for restore-on-reopen helpers used by
+// `Home.tsx` to layer persisted `user_overrides.json` payloads onto the
+// in-memory `UserSelection` and `slidePlan`.
+//
+// Scope (Stage 2 unit u6 contract):
+//   1) deriveUserOverridesKey(filename) — MDX-stem key derivation that
+//      matches backend u2 fallback's `Path(args.mdx_path).stem`. Strips
+//      `.mdx` case-insensitively; preserves everything else.
+//   2) applyPersistedNonFrameOverrides(selection, persisted) — layers
+//      layout / zone_geometries / zone_sections onto an existing selection.
+//      Frames are NOT layered here (unit_id key requires slidePlan).
+//      Foreign / unrecognized payloads degrade silently (no throw, no
+//      partial mutation).
+//   3) remapPersistedFramesToZoneFrames(slidePlan, framesByUnitId) —
+//      remaps frames (unit_id → template_id) to zone_frames (region.id →
+//      template_id). Stale unit_ids (no matching zone) drop silently;
+//      zones without internal_regions[0] or without section_ids are
+//      skipped without throwing.
+//
+// All helpers are pure; tests run in vitest's default node environment
+// without RTL / jsdom. Home.tsx wiring sites (handleFileUpload pre-Generate
+// seed + handleGenerate post-loadRun frame remap) are 1-line call sites that
+// these helpers cover end-to-end.

+// IMP-52 u5 — vitest coverage for the typed frontend client at
+// `Front/client/src/services/userOverridesApi.ts`.
+//
+// Scope (Stage 2 unit u5 contract):
+//   1) getUserOverrides:
+//      • 200 with object body → typed payload echoed.
+//      • 200 with array / primitive / non-JSON body → {} (graceful).
+//      • 4xx / 5xx → {}.
+//      • fetch reject (network) → {} (no throw to caller).
+//   2) saveUserOverrides:
+//      • Single call: PUT fires after exactly 300 ms with the mutated-axis
+//        partial as body (NOT a full snapshot of UserOverrides).
+//      • Rapid coalescing: N calls in <300 ms window collapse to ONE PUT
+//        carrying the union of mutated axes.
+//      • Per-axis later-wins: later call's value replaces earlier pending
+//        value for the same axis; axes the user did not touch stay absent.
+//      • null sentinel: forwarded verbatim so u4 mergeUserOverrides can
+//        `delete` the axis on disk.
+//      • Per-key isolation: rapid edits to "03" do not delay flush of "04".
+//      • Promise resolves with the server-side merged document.
+//      • Promise rejects on 4xx/5xx and on fetch reject.
+//   3) flushUserOverrides:
+//      • No arg → flushes all pending buckets immediately (no 300 ms wait).
+//      • Specific key → flushes only that bucket; other buckets stay
+//        pending.
+//      • No-op when no buckets are pending.
+//
+// All tests mock `fetch` and use `vi.useFakeTimers()` to make the 300 ms
+// debounce deterministic — no real wall-clock waits.

+// IMP-52 u10 — Frontend write-side regression coverage.
+//
+// Stage 2 unit u10 contract:
+//   1) All 4 in-scope mutation handlers persist their axis.
+//   2) zone_sizes is NOT persisted (handleLayoutResize stays in-memory).
+//   3) Write-before-Generate ordering — flushUserOverrides forces pending
+//      PUTs to commit before the pipeline run begins.
+//   4) Restore-on-reopen end-to-end — getUserOverrides → non-frame layering
+//      and post-loadRun frame remap compose into a single restored state.
+//
+// React Testing Library is NOT installed in this repo (devDependencies has
+// vitest only). Home.tsx's mutation handlers live inside `useCallback`
+// closures so they cannot be invoked from a test without mounting the
+// component. We cover them with two complementary tactics:
+//   • Source-pattern grep on Home.tsx that pins the exact wiring shape per
+//     handler. A regression that drops or rewires a `saveUserOverrides`
+//     call fails here loudly.
+//   • End-to-end mocked-fetch tests on the `userOverridesApi` flow with the
+//     payload shapes that Home.tsx produces — proves the contract the
+//     handlers depend on still holds.
+//
+// File extension is `.ts` (no JSX). All tests run in vitest's default node
+// environment; fetch is stubbed with vi.stubGlobal and timers are faked so
+// the 300ms debounce in `saveUserOverrides` is deterministic.

+# IMP-16-U2 — Phase Z verification wiring design (design-only)
+> **⚠️ STATUS UPDATE (2026-05-20, INTEGRATION-AUDIT-02)** — IMP-16 is reclassified
+> as `documented:dormant` and IMP-07 as `documented:no-runtime`. The 3 "Open items
+> deferred until IMP-07 lands" below remain dormant until IMP-07 reverse-path
+> actually lands runtime (no current plan).
+>
+> Resolution evidence: see `INTEGRATION-AUDIT-02-REPORT.md` Sections 3, 4, and 7
+> (final decision: `NEEDS_DOC_SYNC_FOLLOWUP`).
+>
+> Do NOT treat this design contract as actionable in current Phase Z runtime.
+
+**Status**: design-only contract. **No runtime wiring lands in this issue.** All wiring is gated behind IMP-07 reverse-path activation (B-2 main). When IMP-07 lands, this doc becomes the binding contract for the Step 1 / 2 / 14 / 21 / 22 changes that consume the IMP-16-U1 surface in `src/phase_z2_verification_utils.py`.
+
+**Source anchors**
+- IMP-16 backlog row — [`docs/architecture/PHASE-Z-IMPLEMENTATION-ISSUE-BACKLOG.md`](PHASE-Z-IMPLEMENTATION-ISSUE-BACKLOG.md):67 (priority ↓ low, hard link IMP-07, source §3 H3 Reference Only).
+- IMP-07 backlog row — same doc line 51 (status `pending`).
+- 22-step pipeline anchor — [`PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW.md`](PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW.md) Steps 1 / 2 / 14 / 21 / 22.
+- U1 module — `src/phase_z2_verification_utils.py` (u1~u10 ports).
+- Phase Q reference H3 (Reference Only — do not import) — `src/content_verifier.py`.
+
+## Gate (hard block — do not merge wiring before this clears)
+
+- IMP-07 status MUST be `implemented` and `verified` before any code change listed below lands.
+- Repo grep `html_to_slide_mdx | edited_html_to_mdx | reverse_path` MUST return at least one runtime hit in a non-test module under `src/`.
+- The reverse-path entry point MUST emit (a) a normalized re-entry MDX string and (b) the upstream generated HTML string, both as deterministic outputs accessible to Step 2 and Step 14 callers.
+
+## Per-step wiring contract
+
+### Step 1 — MDX upload (re-entered MDX validation)
+- Caller : the reverse-path adapter introduced by IMP-07, immediately after it produces a re-entry MDX.
+- Surface used : u6 `split_into_sentences` (validate that the reverse-path MDX yields at least one sentence after meta-strip + bullet-marker strip).
+- Behavior : if `split_into_sentences(reentry_mdx)` returns an empty list, the reverse-path adapter MUST raise a deterministic input error before Step 2 starts. No silent fallback. No AI call. No content rewrite.
+- Trace : `debug.json["step01"]["reentry_sentence_count"]` (additive integer field).
+
+### Step 2 — MDX normalize (text preservation cross-check)
+- Caller : `parse_mdx` / `align_sections_to_v4_granularity` post-normalize hook (added only when the input came through the IMP-07 reverse path; original-upload path is unchanged).
+- Surface used : u8 `verify_text_preservation(reentry_mdx, upstream_generated_html, area_name="reentry_mdx_vs_upstream_html")`.
+- Threshold : the U1 module default (`_TEXT_PRESERVATION_DEFAULT_THRESHOLD = 0.70`, ported verbatim from Phase Q). Do not redesign in U2.
+- Behavior : `VerificationResult.passed == False` → adapter aborts the re-entry with the result's `errors` list surfaced; auto pipeline does NOT silently continue. Per `feedback_auto_pipeline_first`, no `review_required` / `review_queue` is inserted — adapter abort is the deterministic outcome.
+- Trace : `debug.json["step02"]["reentry_text_preservation"] = {passed, score, area_name, missing_count}` (additive; missing sentences themselves NOT serialised, per privacy-by-default).
+
+### Step 14 — Selenium visual runtime check (invented-text guard)
+- Caller : the `run_overflow_check` post-render path, ONLY when the run was triggered from the reverse-path re-entry. Original-upload path keeps current Step 14 behavior unchanged (this is NOT an enhancement of Step 14 image/table coverage — that axis belongs to IMP-15).
+- Surface used : u9 `detect_invented_text(reentry_mdx, final_html)` against the just-rendered `final.html`.
+- Behavior : the returned `list[str]` is purely *telemetry*. It does NOT change render outcome and does NOT change `compute_slide_status` (Step 20). The reverse-path may consult the list to decide whether to surface a warning at Step 22 — but auto pipeline does not gate on it (per `feedback_auto_pipeline_first` + AI-isolation contract).
+- Trace : `debug.json["step14"]["reentry_invented_text_fragments"] = list[str]` (additive; already truncated by u9's `_INVENTED_TEXT_TRUNCATE_LEN = 80`).
+
+### Step 21 — Debug / trace recording (additive only)
+- Surface used : none (Step 21 consumes the additive fields written by Step 1 / 2 / 14 above).
+- Behavior : `write_debug_json` MUST treat the new fields as additive — no rename, no removal, no schema regression of existing keys. Missing fields (original-upload path) MUST be absent rather than null, so downstream consumers can distinguish "original upload" from "reverse-path re-entry".
+- Trace contract : the three additive fields above + a single new flag `debug.json["pipeline"]["reverse_path_reentry"] = bool` (the only schema field that gates the existence of the other three).
+
+### Step 22 — User confirmation / export (surface, no AI)
+- Surface used : none directly (Step 22 is UI scope, currently CLI-only — see PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW Step 22).
+- Behavior contract for whoever lands Step 22 UI : Step 22 MAY render the additive Step 2 / Step 14 fields read-only. No write-back. No AI call. No content rewrite.
+
+## Redesigned frame-contract pattern dict (reserved, NOT delivered in U2)
+
+- Phase Q `REQUIRED_PATTERNS` (Phase Q reference: `src/content_verifier.py:382`) is `body_bg / core / sidebar / footer` — these are Phase Q *area* names, not Phase Z entities. **Values are NOT reused.**
+- Phase Z replacement will be keyed on (frame_id, frame_slot_id) per the canonical hierarchy `Slide → Zone → Internal Region → Frame → Frame Slot → Content` ([`PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW.md`](PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW.md) §Operating Principles), and will be sourced from `templates/phase_z2/catalog/frame_contracts.yaml` (Step 0 / Step 10).
+- **Out of scope for IMP-16-U2.** This belongs to IMP-20 (H2 frame contract validation — same backlog doc line 71). U2 must not ship a pattern dict; U2 must not import or wrap Phase Q `verify_structure` / `verify_area` / `verify_all_areas`.
+
+## Guardrails (binding)
+
+- **AI isolation contract** — all wiring above is deterministic. No LLM / Kei / httpx / SSE call on any path. (per `feedback_ai_isolation_contract` + `PZ-1: AI=0 normal`.)
+- **No-hardcoding** — U2 ports the algorithm. The only literal values reused are the Phase Q H3 thresholds already lifted to named constants in u7 / u8 / u9. No sample-specific value (MDX 03 / 04 / 05) enters U2.
+- **No `src.content_verifier` import** — under any condition. The U1 module is the sole Phase Z surface.
+- **No FORBIDDEN_KEI_MEMOS / `generate_with_retry` port** — these are H4 / H5 archive markers and remain out of scope.
+- **Schema additive only** — debug.json keys listed above are new; no existing key is renamed, removed, or repurposed. (per `feedback_artifact_status_naming` — final.html is not the same axis as preservation / invented-text telemetry.)
+- **Spacing direction** — N/A for this axis (this is verification, not layout). No common CSS / padding / tolerance shrinking is introduced.
+- **Status semantics** — Step 20 `compute_slide_status` is NOT changed by U2. Preservation / invented-text fields are *telemetry*; they do not flip `PASS` → `RENDERED_WITH_VISUAL_REGRESSION` on their own.
+
+## Rollback
+
+- All changes are additive: the Step 1 input-error path, the Step 2 post-normalize hook, the Step 14 telemetry call, the four new `debug.json` keys.
+- Rollback = revert the IMP-07 reverse-path entry's call sites; no schema migration needed because the four debug.json keys are gated on `pipeline.reverse_path_reentry`.
+
+## Open items deferred until IMP-07 lands
+
+- Exact module path of the IMP-07 reverse-path adapter (TBD by IMP-07).
+- Whether Step 2's preservation cross-check needs a per-section variant or only a whole-MDX variant — depends on whether IMP-07 emits a single re-entry MDX or per-section MDX fragments.
+- Whether Step 14's invented-text telemetry should be emitted per `area_name` or only once globally — depends on whether IMP-07's reverse-path produces area-tagged HTML.
+
+These are NOT resolved here. They are resolved at IMP-07 land time, in a follow-up update to this doc.

+# IMP-17 — AI repair fallback infrastructure (carve-out)
+
+**Status**: carve-out infra **scaffolded under IMP-33** (issue #61, Stage 3 u1~u11). Normal-path AI calls = 0 (PZ-1) — `ai_fallback_enabled` flag default `False` in `src/config.py`. Runtime AI is reachable only via fallback path entry points; Step 12 entry is provisional-gated, Step 17 entry is structurally blocked behind IMP-34 + IMP-35.
+
+**Source anchors**
+- IMP-17 backlog row — [`PHASE-Z-IMPLEMENTATION-ISSUE-BACKLOG.md`](PHASE-Z-IMPLEMENTATION-ISSUE-BACKLOG.md):68 (carve-out — normal path 밖, soft link IMP-04 + IMP-05).
+- INSIGHT-MAP §3 — [`PHASE-Q-INSIGHT-TO-22STEP-MAP.md`](PHASE-Q-INSIGHT-TO-22STEP-MAP.md) (G3 AI repair fallback infra registry row, normal path = no).
+- 22-step pipeline — [`PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW.md`](PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW.md) Step 12 (lines 280-287), Step 16 (lines 318-325), Step 17 (lines 326-333).
+- Pattern shape reference (Phase Q Archive — link-only, do not port) — `src/content_editor.py:21,318` (httpx + retry shape, imports `sse_utils`) + `src/sse_utils.py:16-50` (SSE token parser).
+- Route hint surface (current anchors) — `src/phase_z2_pipeline.py:570` (conceptual comment), `:572` (`_IMP05_ROUTE_HINTS` table), `:575` (`restructure` → `ai_adaptation_required`), `:580` (`_imp05_route_hint`), `:664` (candidate_evidence emission). Deterministic emission today; AI consumer deferred to IMP-17 (this carve-out). Anchor pin: `tests/orchestrator_unit/test_imp17_comment_anchor.py`.
+
+## Carve-out boundary
+
+### Allowed (fallback path only)
+- **Step 12**: when V4 emits `restructure` (route hint `ai_adaptation_required`) AND deterministic mapping cannot satisfy the frame contract, an AI proposal MAY be invoked to map `content_object` → `Internal Region` / `Frame Slot`. Output = placement proposal at content-object granularity. Frame selection, layout selection, zone topology remain deterministic.
+- **Step 16 / 17**: when retry router exhausts deterministic actions (zone_ratio_retry / layout_adjust / frame_reselect / details_popup_escalation / image_fit_candidate / frame_internal_fit_candidate) AND user-approved fallback budget remains, an AI proposal MAY be invoked. Output scope identical to Step 12 — content-object placement only.
+
+### Forbidden (any path)
+- Normal-path AI calls (Step 12 deterministic mapper, all other steps).
+- MDX 원문 요약·삭제·재작성 (Phase Z spacing direction guardrail: never compress text).
+- HTML / CSS 직접 생성, frame contract 신설, layout / zone topology 결정 (Layer-A / Layer-B planning은 코드 영역).
+- 공통 padding / spacing / tolerance 축소 (PZ-4 — no silent shrink).
+- 신규 IMP ID 발급 (이 carve-out 은 IMP-17 슬롯에 영구 귀속).
+
+## Activation gate (3-condition AND — all three required)
+
+1. **User GO** — 명시적 axis activation 요청. carve-out 자체로는 코드 작성 트리거 안 됨.
+2. **B4 frame_selection evidence integration complete** — Step 9 frame_selection 의 evidence trace 가 안정화되어야 fallback proposal 이 어떤 frame contract 안에서 동작해야 하는지 식별 가능.
+3. **IMP-04 (catalog 확장) + IMP-05 (V4 fallback) live** — 카탈로그가 32 frame 으로 확장되고 V4 rank-2/3 fallback 이 활성화돼야 `ai_adaptation_required` 라우트가 실제 의미를 가짐 (현재는 dead-end route hint).
+
+세 조건 중 하나라도 미충족이면 본 carve-out 은 design-only 상태로 잠겨 있다.
+
+## Pattern shape reference (link-only, do not import)
+
+Phase Q `content_editor.py` 는 **Archive Candidate** ([`PHASE-Q-AUDIT.md`](PHASE-Q-AUDIT.md):660-673) — 포팅 대상 아님. 모양만 참조한다:
+- httpx async streaming + retry 구조 — `src/content_editor.py:21,318` 라인 부근 (import + `stream_sse_tokens` 호출 site).
+- SSE token 파서 분리 모듈 — `src/sse_utils.py:16-50` (`stream_sse_tokens` 본체).
+- `EDITOR_PROMPT` (Kei persona) 및 Kei-API endpoint 는 **영구 단절**. 재사용 금지.
+
+## AI 격리 + Kei persona 단절 contract
+
+- AI 호출은 normal path 에 없다 (Phase Z 원칙, [memory `feedback_ai_isolation_contract`](../../README.md)).
+- 출력 단위는 항상 content_object / Internal Region / Frame Slot 또는 restructuring proposal — HTML 구조 / 레이아웃 / 프리셋 결정 X.
+- Phase Q 자산 (Kei persona prompts, Kei-API endpoint, persona retry semantics) 과 단절. Phase Z 의 fallback runtime 은 별도 prompt / endpoint 설계로 출발한다 (본 carve-out 활성 시).
+
+## Runtime module surface (IMP-33 u1~u11 binding)

+| Step 12 entry | `src.phase_z2_ai_fallback.step12.gather_step12_ai_repair_proposals` — IMP-30 provisional gate (`not_provisional` skip) AND reject gate (`design_reference_only_no_ai` skip) AND non-AI route catch-all run BEFORE `route_ai_fallback`. |
+| Step 17 entry | `src.phase_z2_ai_fallback.step17.gather_step17_ai_repair_proposals` — STRUCTURALLY BLOCKED. Every unit returns `skip_reason="step17_ai_blocked_imp_34_35_prerequisites_missing"`. Module does NOT import `route_ai_fallback` / `AiFallbackClient` / `anthropic`. |
+| Cascade order | `src.phase_z2_ai_fallback.step17.OVERFLOW_CASCADE_ORDER = (DETERMINISTIC, POPUP, AI_REPAIR, USER_OVERRIDE)` — single source of truth for Step 17 consumers. Aligns with line 16 of this doc. |
+| IMP-46 cache gate | `src.phase_z2_ai_fallback.cache.save_proposal(..., visual_check_passed, user_approved, auto_cache=False)` raises `AiFallbackCacheGateError` unless `visual_check_passed=True` AND (`user_approved=True` OR `auto_cache=True`). Persistent JSON backend at `data/frame_cache/{frame_id}/{signature_hash}.json` (u2); cache key = structural signature over 8 axes (u1+u4); read-side fingerprint invalidation via `read_proposal(..., fingerprints=...)` strict equality (u3); `--auto-cache` CLI flag + `settings.ai_fallback_auto_cache` (default `False`) bypasses ONLY the `user_approved` gate (u5); repo root tracked via `data/frame_cache/.gitkeep` with cached payloads git-ignored (u6). `read_proposal` returns `None` on missing / corrupt / fingerprint-mismatched entries — cache is a hint, never a hard dependency. |
+| AST isolation | `tests/phase_z2_ai_fallback/test_ast_isolation.py` parses every `*.py` under `src/phase_z2_ai_fallback/` and forbids Phase Q runtime / Kei client / `src.phase_z2_*` (non-fallback) imports. Whitelist = `src.config` + intra-package + stdlib + `anthropic` + `pydantic`. |

+# IMP-18 — Phase Z SVG Coordinate Pre-compute Gap Report
+
+**Status**: documented (reference-only, dormant)
+**Scope**: doc-only. No runtime surface modified.
+**Related issue**: https://gitea.hmac.kr/Kyeongmin/C.E.L_Slide_test2/issues/18
+**Soft dependency**: IMP-04 (frame_partials registration) — IMP-18 activates only when a SVG-bearing partial lands under `templates/phase_z2/`.
+
+---
+
+## A1 — Phase R' source pattern (read-only reference)
+
+Phase R' implements SVG coordinate pre-compute as a renderer hook. References (do **not** modify):
+
+- `src/renderer.py:169-207` — `_preprocess_svg_data(block_type, block_data)` — mutates `block_data` with computed coordinates when `block_type` ∈ `SVG_BLOCKS`; warns and falls back on exception.
+- `src/renderer.py:175` — `SVG_BLOCKS = {"venn-diagram", "relationship"}` — exhaustive type allow-list.
+- `src/renderer.py:321` — call site inside `render_multi_page()` (`block_data = _preprocess_svg_data(block_type, block_data)`), right before `_resolve_template_path` lookup.
+- `src/svg_calculator.py:15-156` — five helpers:
+  - L15 `calc_circle_positions(n, center_x, center_y, radius)` — 12 o'clock clockwise N-element layout.
+  - L47 `calc_item_radius(n, base_radius=75.0)` — auto-shrink small-circle radius for crowding.
+  - L59 `calc_orbit_radius(n, base_orbit=120.0)` — auto-expand orbit for crowding.
+  - L70 `calc_outer_radius(n, orbit_radius, item_radius)` — outer enclosing circle, 40 px margin.
+  - L77 `prepare_venn_data(items, center_label, center_sub, description, viewbox_width=600.0, viewbox_height=550.0)` — top-level entry; mutates `items[*].cx/cy/r` and returns `outer_r`/`center_x`/`center_y`/`viewbox_width`/`viewbox_height`.
+
+## A2 — Phase Z partial SVG inventory (gap)
+
+Phase Z active partials surface:
+
+- `templates/phase_z2/families/*.html` — **11 contracted + 2 WIP untracked = 13 on disk** (contracted set = `templates/phase_z2/catalog/frame_contracts.yaml` top-level keys; WIP allowlist = [`templates/phase_z2/families/_WIP_FILES.md`](../../templates/phase_z2/families/_WIP_FILES.md), gated on Gitea #42 / #52 F-2 option (c)).
+- `templates/phase_z2/frames/*.html` — **2** files.
+- Total surface = **13 active partials (11 contracted families + 2 frames) + 2 WIP untracked families** (15 on disk; runtime matcher consumes the contracted set only).
+
+SVG usage scan (evidence): `rg "<svg|viewBox" templates/phase_z2/` → **0 matches** (exit 1).
+
+Closest geometric candidate is `templates/phase_z2/families/construction_goals_three_circle_intersection.html` (frame_id `1171281189`, "cycle-3way-intersection" intent), but it renders three intersecting circles via HTML/CSS — `border-radius:50%` + `linear-gradient` + `::before` outer ring — **not** SVG. The Figma source's six accent kanji circles, six side labels, three decorative rects, and three arcs are explicitly **NOT PROMOTED** at the partial header (compact MDX-mapped focus). No partial currently demands the pre-computed `items[*].cx/cy/r` contract.
+
+## A3 — IMP-04 activation gate (soft dependency)
+
+IMP-18 has no Phase Z runtime consumer today. Re-activation triggers:
+
+1. IMP-04 (frame_partials registration) lands an SVG-bearing partial under `templates/phase_z2/` (e.g., a venn-diagram or relationship frame promoted from Figma).
+2. The partial declares slots that consume `items[*].cx/cy/r` + `outer_r` + `viewbox_*` (the `prepare_venn_data` return contract).
+
+Until both conditions hold, IMP-18 stays dormant and this gap report is the sole deliverable.
+
+## A4 — Phase R' guardrail (read-only lock)
+
+Per `CLAUDE.md` Phase R' regression prevention rules and the Stage 1/2 exit reports:
+
+- `src/renderer.py` — read-only. No edit to `_preprocess_svg_data` body, `SVG_BLOCKS` set, or `render_multi_page` call site.
+- `src/svg_calculator.py` — read-only. No edit to the five helpers or their public signatures.
+- `templates/phase_z2/families/*.html` (11 contracted + 2 WIP untracked = 13 on disk; WIP set = [`_WIP_FILES.md`](../../templates/phase_z2/families/_WIP_FILES.md)) + `templates/phase_z2/frames/*.html` (2) — no `<svg>` / `viewBox` insertion in IMP-18 scope. SVG-bearing partial onboarding is owned by IMP-04. The 2 WIP family templates are gated on Gitea #42 (promote-or-remove) and remain outside the runtime matcher set per #52 F-2 option (c).
+- F12 `construction_goals_three_circle_intersection.html` HTML/CSS → SVG migration is **out of scope** (separate post-IMP-04 issue).
+- No hardcoded SVG coordinates in Phase Z templates — when IMP-18 re-activates, coordinates must be derived from `svg_calculator` helpers (or equivalent forward-port into `phase_z2_renderer`), not hand-copied.
+
+---
+
+## Re-activation checklist (future)
+
+When IMP-04 introduces the first SVG-bearing Phase Z partial:
+
+- [ ] Identify partial(s) consuming `items[*].cx/cy/r` + `outer_r` + `viewbox_*`.
+- [ ] Decide port target — extend `phase_z2_renderer` with a `_preprocess_svg_data` analog, or reuse `src/svg_calculator.py` directly.
+- [ ] Keep Phase R' references untouched.
+- [ ] Add anchor SHA bump only if runtime source surface changes.

+
+## A3 — Phase Z Step 8 solver delta (IMP-09 owned)
+
+The active Phase Z zone-ratio solver lives in `src/phase_z2_pipeline.py` and is **IMP-09 owned**. IMP-19 does **not** absorb, replace, or amend this surface. References (do **not** modify):
+
+- `src/phase_z2_pipeline.py:794-853` — `compute_zone_layout(zones_data, total_height=SLIDE_BODY_HEIGHT, gap=GRID_GAP)` — row-axis solver. Algorithm = `min_height_first + content_weight_distribution`: Step 1 reserves per-zone `min_height_px` from frame_contract `visual_hints` (with proportional scale-down on overflow), Step 2 distributes the remaining vertical budget by `content_weight.score`, Step 3 absorbs rounding residual into the last zone. Returns `heights_px` + `ratios` + reasoning trace.
+- `src/phase_z2_pipeline.py:924-972` — `compute_zone_layout_cols(zones_data, total_width=SLIDE_BODY_WIDTH, gap=GRID_GAP)` — col-axis solver. Algorithm = `content_weight_distribution_cols` (weight-only; no `min_width_px` contract exists in `frame_contracts.yaml` per IMP-09 verification). Zero-weight guard splits evenly across `n` zones. Returns `widths_px` + `width_ratios`.
+- `src/phase_z2_pipeline.py:1125-1452` — topology dispatch surface:
+  - `:1125-1152` `_build_rows_dynamic` — `topology=="rows"` (horizontal-2): dynamic row heights via `compute_zone_layout`, static fr column widths via `_parse_fr_string`.
+  - `:1155+` `_build_grid_dynamic_2d` — `topology ∈ {T, inverted-T, side-T-left, side-T-right, 2x2}`: per-row + per-col virtual-zone aggregation → row solver + col solver → `2d_dynamic_aggregated` computation.
+  - `:1444-1452` dynamic-branch dispatcher: `rows` / `cols` / 2-D / default fr.
+  - `:1380-1434` user-override geometry branch (`computation == "user_override_geometry"`) — preserves raw override percentages without invoking the weight solver.
+
+Delta vs Phase O/Q (A1+A2):
+
+| Axis | Phase O/Q (`renderer._group_blocks_by_area`) | Phase Z Step 8 (`compute_zone_layout` + cols) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Geometry level | block/role inside one zone | zone-level row/col tracks across slide_body |
+| Width source | role x-anchor + `top_h` image carve-out | content_weight share (cols) / fr-string (rows) |
+| Height source | producer `ContainerSpec.height_px` injection | min_height_first + content_weight remainder |
+| Role axis | hardcoded `["배경","본심"]` (L234) | no role concept — zone position + frame contract |
+| Min-height source | none (producer-emitted absolute px) | frame_contract `visual_hints.min_height_px` |
+| Topology dispatch | none (single role-loop) | rows / cols / T / inverted-T / side-T-* / 2x2 / single |
+| Inline-style injection | yes (height + font_size + spacing-inner) | no (geometry-only; styling handled downstream) |
+
+Conclusion: Phase O role-container pattern and Phase Z zone-ratio solver operate at **different abstraction layers** (block-in-zone vs zone-in-slide). They are **not** drop-in interchangeable; IMP-19 surfaces this delta only for design-pattern comparison.
+
+## A4 — IMP-09 boundary statement (soft-link)
+
+IMP-19 is `soft link: IMP-09`. Ownership separation:
+
+- **IMP-09 owns**: every algorithmic change to `compute_zone_layout`, `compute_zone_layout_cols`, the topology dispatch surface (`_build_rows_dynamic` / `_build_cols_dynamic` / `_build_grid_dynamic_2d` / `_build_fr_default`), and the frame_contract `visual_hints.min_height_px` contract.
+- **IMP-19 owns**: reference-only documentation of the Phase O/Q `_group_blocks_by_area` + `build_containers_type_b` pattern (A1 + A2) and the Phase Z solver delta narrative (A3).
+- **No bidirectional code flow**: IMP-19 does not move Phase O code into Phase Z, and IMP-09 does not consume Phase O `ContainerSpec` payloads. The two solvers remain isolated.
+- **Reference direction is one-way**: this document points read-only at `src/renderer.py`, `src/space_allocator.py`, and `src/phase_z2_pipeline.py`. No reverse pointer is required in those source files.
+
+If IMP-09 alters the Phase Z solver signature, A3 must be re-verified (file:line refs); the boundary statement itself does not change.
+
+## A5 — Re-activation gate + guardrails
+
+IMP-19 is `documented` (dormant). Re-activation requires **all** of the following gate conditions:
+
+1. **Trigger**: Phase Z Step 8 produces a verifiable case where the active solver (`min_height_first + content_weight`) yields geometry that the Phase O role-container pattern would have handled correctly — i.e., a regression that maps cleanly to the block-level role abstraction, not the zone-level abstraction.
+2. **Evidence requirement**: failing-case MDX + frame_contract trace + observed geometry vs expected geometry, attached to a new issue or this issue's reopened state.
+3. **IMP-09 sign-off**: the IMP-09 owner confirms the failing case is **not** addressable inside the Phase Z solver (e.g., adding `visual_hints.min_height_px` or adjusting `content_weight.score` does not resolve it).
+4. **Scope re-lock**: the new axis is scope-locked under a fresh implementation issue (not silently reopened in IMP-19) so the soft-link contract is preserved.
+
+Guardrails (preserved from Stage 1 + Stage 2):
+
+- **GR1 — No runtime integration**: this document does not authorize merging Phase O role-container code into the Phase Z runtime. Any such integration requires a new scope-locked issue with its own Stage 1/2 review.
+- **GR2 — Phase O no-regression**: Phase O containers (`render_multi_page` path with `_container_specs`) must not re-enter the Phase Z render path; the `render_slide` legacy fallback at `src/renderer.py:426` (no `container_specs`) remains the unit-test entry.
+- **GR3 — Reference extract stays in `docs/architecture/`**: never under `src/`. No code body copying; file:line refs only.
+- **GR4 — Soft-link integrity**: IMP-19 status remains `documented` until the A5 gate fires. The IMP-09 backlog entry carries a back-reference (see u3); IMP-19 carries the forward reference here.

+# IMP-20 — Phase Q `content_verifier` Frame Contract Validation Pattern Reference
+
+**Status**: documented (reference-only, dormant)
+**Scope**: doc-only. No runtime surface modified.
+**Related issue**: https://gitea.hmac.kr/Kyeongmin/C.E.L_Slide_test2/issues/20
+**Soft dependency**: IMP-04 (extended catalog application) — IMP-20 stays dormant; activates only via the A5 gate.
+**Source axis**: INSIGHT-MAP §3 / §2.7 H2 — `content_verifier.verify_structure` pattern reference.
+
+---
+
+## A1 — Phase Q consumer pattern (read-only reference)
+
+Phase Q implements area-level required-pattern validation at the content-verifier layer. References (do **not** modify):
+
+- `src/content_verifier.py:382-392` — `REQUIRED_PATTERNS: dict[str, list[str]]` — top-level pattern dictionary keyed by area name (`body_bg`, `body_core`, `sidebar`, `footer`). Values verified: `body_bg=[]`, `body_core=["key-msg"]`, `sidebar=["padding-left", "text-indent"]`, `footer=[]`. Phase T (`L379-381` comment) removed the `overflow:hidden` requirement to reconcile with the Phase T prompt's "overflow:hidden 금지" directive — that no-regression boundary is preserved.
+- `src/content_verifier.py:395-448` — `verify_structure(generated_html, area_name, has_image=False, font_hierarchy=None) → VerificationResult` — the substring-check + OR + tolerance core logic.
+  - `:405-412` — substring presence loop. Each pattern string is split on `|` (`pattern.split("|")` at L410) and treated as an OR alternation: any alternative present passes the pattern. Missing alternatives are appended to a `missing` list.
+  - `:414-416` — `has_image` branch. When `has_image=True` and `area_name == "body_core"`, an additional implicit requirement is enforced: `"slide-img-"` must appear in `generated_html`. Missing image marker is reported as `"slide-img-* (이미지 태그)"` in `missing`.
+  - `:418-436` — `font_hierarchy` branch. When supplied, area-name → max-font lookup uses a fixed `role_font_map = {"body_bg":bg/11, "body_core":core/12, "sidebar":sidebar/10, "footer":core/12}`. HTML `font-size:\s*(\d+(?:\.\d+)?)\s*px` matches are extracted via regex (L430); each measured size > `max_font + 1` (1px tolerance at L433) emits a `font_warnings` entry. Warnings do **not** flip `passed`.
+  - `:438-447` — result construction. `passed = (len(missing) == 0)`. `score = 1.0` on pass else `1.0 - len(missing) / max(1, len(patterns))` (continuous degradation; `max(1, …)` guards empty-pattern division by zero). Errors prefixed `"필수 패턴 누락: "`. Warnings carry font hierarchy violations only.
+- `src/content_verifier.py:455-487` — `verify_area(original_text, generated_html, area_name, has_image=False) → VerificationResult` — composes L1 (`verify_text_preservation`) + L2 (`verify_no_forbidden_content`) + L3 (`verify_structure`) at L462-466. `verify_structure` call at L465 passes `has_image` but **not** `font_hierarchy` (font_hierarchy is unused inside `verify_area`).
+- `src/content_verifier.py:490-529` — `verify_all_areas(generated, area_texts, has_image_areas=None)` — area dispatch fan-out. `body_html` is split into `body_bg` + `body_core` (L510-519); `body_core` is the **only** branch that propagates `has_image=("body_core" in has_image_areas)` to `verify_area` (L518). `sidebar_html` (L521-525) and `footer_html` (L527-531) call `verify_area` with default `has_image=False`.
+
+Classification: area-level (Phase Q HTML area axis) required-pattern validation at content-verifier time. **Not** Phase Z frame_id × sub_zone contract validation.
+
+## A2 — Phase Q `REQUIRED_PATTERNS` shape (read-only reference)
+
+The Phase Q pattern-dict shape — **values are Phase Q-specific and excluded from reuse; only the shape is Phase Z design input.**
+
+| Axis | Phase Q shape | Where observed |
+|---|---|---|
+| Key axis | area name (string) | `src/content_verifier.py:382` keys: `body_bg` / `body_core` / `sidebar` / `footer` |
+| Value type | `list[str]` of substring patterns | `src/content_verifier.py:383-391` |
+| Alternation semantics | `"a\|b"` → OR (any alt passes) via `pattern.split("|")` | `src/content_verifier.py:410` |
+| Image-conditional branch | `has_image=True` ∧ `area_name=="body_core"` → implicit `"slide-img-"` requirement | `src/content_verifier.py:414-416` |
+| Font hierarchy tolerance | 1px (`fs > max_font + 1`); area-name → max-font fixed lookup | `src/content_verifier.py:433`, `:421-426` |
+| Pass/score rule | `passed = (missing == [])`; score = continuous degradation `1.0 - len(missing)/max(1, len(patterns))` | `src/content_verifier.py:438`, `:445` |
+| Empty-pattern handling | `max(1, len(patterns))` guards divide-by-zero; empty pattern list always passes | `src/content_verifier.py:445`, `:382-383` (`body_bg=[]`) |
+
+Shape-only carry-over candidates for Phase Z design (see A3 in u2):
+
+- `dict[key]→list[pattern]` indirection.
+- OR via in-string `|` separator (low-ceremony alternation).
+- Conditional implicit requirement injected by external context flag (here `has_image`; in Phase Z potentially `accepted_content_types` per sub_zone).
+- Continuous score degradation rather than binary pass/fail (downstream consumers can threshold).
+- Separate `errors` (block) vs `warnings` (advisory) lanes — font hierarchy lives in warnings, not errors.
+
+Values that **must not** carry into Phase Z: the literal strings `"key-msg"`, `"padding-left"`, `"text-indent"`, `"slide-img-"`, and the area names `body_bg` / `body_core` / `sidebar` / `footer` themselves — these are Phase Q area-HTML idioms, not Phase Z frame/slot idioms.
+
+## A3 — Phase Z target pattern dict (design input, not yet active)
+
+The Phase Z-native target axis = **frame_id × sub_zone** pattern dict, aligned with `templates/phase_z2/catalog/frame_contracts.yaml`. References (do **not** modify):
+
+- `templates/phase_z2/catalog/frame_contracts.yaml:21` `three_parallel_requirements` (F13, 3 sub_zones), `:77` `process_product_two_way` (F29, 2 sub_zones × strict 3 cardinality), `:128` `bim_issues_quadrant_four` (F16, 4 sub_zones), `:189` `three_persona_benefits` (F14, 3 sub_zones), `:253` `construction_goals_three_circle_intersection` (F12, 3+1 sub_zones — `intersection` is `min:0,max:1`), `:323` `construction_bim_three_usage` (F11, 3 sub_zones), `:391` `bim_dx_comparison_table` (F18, 2 header + 1 `rows` with `min:1,max:12`), `:456` `dx_sw_necessity_three_perspectives` (F20, 3 sub_zones), `:520` `info_management_what_how_when` (F8, 3 sub_zones), `:580` `sw_reality_three_emphasis` (F28, 3 sub_zones), `:637` `bim_current_problems_paired` (F17, 8 sub_zones — row × side 2-axis).
+- All 11 contracts carry `accepted_content_types` + `sub_zones`; field `density_envelope` is absent across the catalog (verified `grep -c "density_envelope" templates/phase_z2/catalog/frame_contracts.yaml` = 0).
+- `src/phase_z2_mapper.py:49-57` `load_frame_contracts` / `get_contract` — direct dict lookup against the 11 entries above.
+- `src/phase_z2_pipeline.py:3776-3805` Step 10 emit — currently surfaces `frame_id` / `family` / `source_shape` / `cardinality` / `visual_hints` / `accepted_content_types` / `sub_zones` / `payload_builder` / `payload_builder_options` to `step10_frame_contract.json` with `step_status="partial"`. No pattern-dict assertion runs against this payload yet.
+
+Abstraction-mismatch table (Phase Q area-level vs Phase Z frame/slot-level):
+
+| Axis | Phase Q (A1+A2) | Phase Z target (A3) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Key | area name (`body_bg`/`body_core`/`sidebar`/`footer`) | `(frame_id, sub_zone_id)` tuple — e.g. `(1171281190, "pillar_1")` |
+| Cardinality of keys | 4 fixed area names | open over 11 contracts × N sub_zones (3+2+4+3+4+3+3+3+3+3+8 = 39 sub_zones in current catalog) |
+| Value semantics | substring presence (HTML-string match) | candidates: substring presence and/or contract-field assertion (`cardinality.strict` / `accepts` membership / `partial_target_path` resolution) |
+| Conditional branch input | `has_image` external flag | `accepted_content_types` per sub_zone (catalog-driven, not external flag) |
+| Tolerance | 1px on font-size (single axis) | candidates: font-size 1px tolerance carried over **or** replaced by `visual_hints.min_height_px` envelope check |
+| Validation timing | post-render HTML (`generated_html` string) | post Step 18 final.html (mirrors Phase Q timing) — Step 12 light_edit/restructure proposal is excluded (proposal is upstream of render) |
+| Result lanes | `errors` (block) + `warnings` (advisory) | preserved as-is from Phase Q shape (continuous score; separate font-hierarchy warnings) |
+
+Classification: Phase Q area axis ⇄ Phase Z frame/slot axis are **not** drop-in compatible. The shape (dict indirection + OR alternation + tolerance + conditional implicit-requirement + continuous score) is the only portable element; every value (key strings, area names, literal patterns) is Phase Q-local.
+
+## A4 — IMP-04 soft-link boundary (catalog vs validation ownership)
+
+IMP-20 is `soft link: IMP-04` per the backlog (`docs/architecture/PHASE-Z-IMPLEMENTATION-ISSUE-BACKLOG.md:71`). Ownership separation:
+
+- **IMP-04 owns**: every `frame_contracts.yaml` entry — addition / removal / `accepted_content_types` change / `sub_zones` schema change / `cardinality` change / `visual_hints` change. `templates/phase_z2/catalog/frame_contracts.yaml` is the IMP-04 source of truth.
+- **IMP-20 owns**: reference-only documentation of the Phase Q pattern-dict shape (A1 + A2) and the Phase Z target axis design narrative (A3). No catalog edits, no Step 10 promotion.
+- **Coupling direction**: **one-way** read. A Phase Z pattern dict (if/when activated through the A5 gate) consumes `frame_contracts.yaml` as input. It does **not** publish back into the catalog. IMP-04 is unaware of IMP-20.
+- **No bidirectional code flow**: IMP-20 does not move Phase Q `content_verifier.py` code into Phase Z, and IMP-04 does not consume `REQUIRED_PATTERNS`. The two surfaces remain isolated.
+- **Reference direction is one-way**: this document points read-only at `src/content_verifier.py`, `src/phase_z2_mapper.py`, `src/phase_z2_pipeline.py`, and `templates/phase_z2/catalog/frame_contracts.yaml`. No reverse pointer is required in those source files.
+
+If IMP-04 alters the catalog schema (e.g. adds `density_envelope` or renames `sub_zones`), A3 must be re-verified (key axis and conditional-branch row in particular). The boundary statement itself does not change.
+
+## A5 — Re-activation gate + guardrails
+
+IMP-20 is `documented` (dormant). Re-activation requires **all** of the following gate conditions (3-cond AND):
+
+1. **Trigger**: Phase Z Step 10 produces a verifiable case where the partial frame-contract emit alone is insufficient — i.e., a final.html regression that a frame_id × sub_zone pattern dict would have caught (missing slot marker, contract field violation, font-hierarchy breach against a sub_zone-resolved max). The trigger must be a regression that maps cleanly to the frame/slot axis, **not** to a higher layer (composition planning, content adapter, render-time CSS).
+2. **Evidence requirement**: failing-case MDX + `step10_frame_contract.json` trace + final.html excerpt with the slot path that should have asserted, attached to a new issue or this issue's reopened state.
+3. **IMP-04 sign-off**: the IMP-04 owner confirms the failing case is **not** addressable inside the catalog (e.g. tightening `cardinality` or `accepted_content_types` does not resolve it) — only then is a Phase Z-native pattern dict justified.
+
+Design questions resolved in this document (revisit if the gate fires):
+
+- **Q1 — Key granularity**: `(frame_id, sub_zone_id)`. Frame-only granularity is insufficient because contracts with `sub_zones` of differing `accepts` (e.g. F29 `process_column` accepts `[text_block, transform_table]` vs `product_column` accepts `[text_block]`) require slot-level differentiation.
+- **Q2 — Value type**: hybrid — substring patterns (Phase Q parity) **plus** contract-field assertions (`cardinality.strict` / `accepts` membership / `partial_target_path` resolved in DOM) **plus** numeric tolerance (carried from font-hierarchy 1px). Three lanes preserved separately so each can fail/pass independently.
+- **Q3 — Validation timing**: post Step 18 final.html **only**. Step 12 light_edit/restructure proposal is upstream of render and exposes no HTML for substring assertion; running the dict there would either fire false negatives (no DOM yet) or duplicate Step 18 work.
+- **Q4 — Font-hierarchy carry-over**: replaced — Phase Q's `role_font_map` fixed dict (area → max-font) is Phase Q-local. The Phase Z equivalent reads from `frame_contracts.yaml` `visual_hints` (`min_height_px` already present; a future `max_font_px` field would live in `visual_hints` and is IMP-04-owned). 1px tolerance shape is portable; the lookup source is replaced.
+
+Guardrails (preserved from Stage 1 + Stage 2):
+
+- **GR1 — Shape-only reference**: no Phase Q `REQUIRED_PATTERNS` value (`"key-msg"`, `"padding-left"`, `"text-indent"`, `"slide-img-"`) or area name (`body_bg`/`body_core`/`sidebar`/`footer`) may appear in any Phase Z pattern dict activation.
+- **GR2 — Phase Q no-regression**: `src/content_verifier.py:382-392` `REQUIRED_PATTERNS` is no-touch. The Phase T `L379-381` comment (overflow:hidden removed) remains the no-regression boundary; any Phase Z dict design must not re-introduce removed patterns into Phase Q's surface.
+- **GR3 — Phase Z dict is Phase Z-owned**: no `import` of `content_verifier.REQUIRED_PATTERNS` from Phase Z code. The two pattern dicts coexist without symbol sharing.
+- **GR4 — IMP-04 soft-link one-way**: per § A4. Activating IMP-20 must not block on or modify IMP-04; the catalog is read-only input.
+- **PZ-1 — AI isolation contract**: pattern dict is code/spec, not AI-generated content. No Kei rewrite, no LLM proposal of pattern values (`feedback_ai_isolation_contract`).
+- **RULE 13 — Anchor sync**: any future activation must update backlog (`PHASE-Z-IMPLEMENTATION-ISSUE-BACKLOG.md`), status board (`PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-STATUS-BOARD.md`), and INSIGHT-MAP (`PHASE-Q-INSIGHT-TO-22STEP-MAP.md`) in the same commit.
+
+If IMP-04 alters the catalog schema or `src/content_verifier.py` is rewritten upstream, A1–A3 must be re-verified (file:line refs); the A5 gate itself does not change.

+## 3-condition AND gate state (this cycle)
+
+| # | Condition | State | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | User GO — explicit activation request | **NOT CLEAR** | No axis activation directive in #40. Stage 1 root_cause: runtime consumer = 0. |
+| 2 | B4 frame_selection evidence integration complete | **NOT CLEAR** (⚠ partial) | [`PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-STATUS-BOARD.md`](PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-STATUS-BOARD.md):48 Step 9 ⚠ partial; :82 "B4 frame_selection 의 V4 evidence 미통합"; :126 (j) ❌ pending. |
+| 3 | IMP-04 catalog expansion + IMP-05 V4 fallback live | **AMBIGUOUS** | `templates/phase_z2/catalog/frame_contracts.yaml` = 11 `template_id:` entries vs 32 target. IMP-05 V4 rank-2/3 fallback selector logic live, but catalog coverage gates real semantics. |
+
+**Verdict**: gate **NOT CLEAR**. Runtime AI adaptation remains gated. `src/phase_z2_ai_fallback/` = **scaffolded under IMP-33** (#61, Stage 3 u1~u11); module created, but `settings.ai_fallback_enabled` defaults to `False` (u1) so normal-path AI call count remains 0 (PZ-1). Runtime engagement still requires the 3-condition AND gate above.
+
+## Issue-body axis verdict
+
+| Axis | Issue-body line | Verdict | Binding boundary |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| A1 | restructure → ai_adaptation_required actual adaptation route | **gate-blocked** | Allowed only inside [`IMP-17-CARVE-OUT.md`](IMP-17-CARVE-OUT.md) Step 12 fallback path; runtime AI consumer not added this cycle. |
+| A2 | reject → design_reference_only | **gate-blocked + frontend ownership** | Reject route = design reference only. Frontend zone-level override remains IMP-29 scope ([`PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW.md`](PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW.md) Step 12). |
+| A3 | AI call provider | **Anthropic API only** | Kei API / `EDITOR_PROMPT` / Kei-API endpoint forbidden (Phase Q Kei persona 영구 단절 — [`IMP-17-CARVE-OUT.md`](IMP-17-CARVE-OUT.md) §"AI 격리 + Kei persona 단절 contract"). |
+| A4 | candidate_evidence[].route_hint | **live (deterministic emission)** | Emission anchored at `src/phase_z2_pipeline.py:570/:572/:575/:580/:664`; AI consumer deferred. Anchor pin: `tests/orchestrator_unit/test_imp17_comment_anchor.py`. |
+| A5 | MDX content preservation = strict | **locked** | No invent / rewrite / compress / summarize ([`IMP-17-CARVE-OUT.md`](IMP-17-CARVE-OUT.md) §Forbidden; memory `feedback_phase_z_spacing_direction`). |
+| A6 | AI prompt = frame-aware placement only, not "rewrite content" | **locked** | Output = content_object → Internal Region / Frame Slot placement proposal at content-object granularity ([`IMP-17-CARVE-OUT.md`](IMP-17-CARVE-OUT.md) §Allowed). HTML / CSS / layout / zone topology / frame selection X. |
+| A7 | popup / details / zone-resize routing when content cannot fit | **deferred to Step 17 fallback** | Deterministic actions exhausted (zone_ratio_retry / layout_adjust / frame_reselect / details_popup_escalation / image_fit_candidate / frame_internal_fit_candidate) before AI proposal ([`IMP-17-CARVE-OUT.md`](IMP-17-CARVE-OUT.md) §Allowed Step 16/17). |
+| A8 | no `calculate_fit` migration | **locked** | IMP-05 selector uses V4 labels + frame-contract presence + Phase Z capacity precheck only (`src/phase_z2_pipeline.py:587` `lookup_v4_match_with_fallback` declaration; :599 docstring "it does not call calculate_fit"; secondary anchors :3093 / :4871). |
+| C1 | Anchor drift `:452` → current | **synced** | Stage 3 u1 — [`IMP-17-CARVE-OUT.md`](IMP-17-CARVE-OUT.md):10. |
+| C2 | Backlog + status-board cross-ref | **planned (u3)** | Cross-ref discoverability surfaces only; no verdict duplication. |
+
+## Out of scope (this cycle)
+
+Runtime AI consumer enablement (flag default OFF), `candidate_evidence` schema change, Phase Q file mutation, Kei API reuse, frontend zone override (IMP-29 scope), IMP-30 invariant change, `calculate_fit` migration. Note: `src/phase_z2_ai_fallback/` directory scaffold itself was created under IMP-33 (#61, Stage 3 u1~u11) — see [`IMP-17-CARVE-OUT.md`](IMP-17-CARVE-OUT.md) §"Runtime module surface".
+
+## Future activation path
+
+When the 3-condition AND gate clears (User GO ∧ B4 V4 evidence integrated ∧ catalog 32/32 + IMP-05 V4 fallback live):
+
+- Runtime AI module path = `src/phase_z2_ai_fallback/` (scaffolded under IMP-33; flag default OFF until gate clears).
+- Provider = Anthropic API only. Prompt design starts fresh (no Phase Q `EDITOR_PROMPT` import).
+- Output granularity = content_object → Internal Region / Frame Slot placement proposal. Frame / layout / zone topology selection remains deterministic.
+- Activation tracker = this issue (#40, IMP-31). No new IMP ID issued.

+# INTEGRATION-AUDIT-01 -- Axis 2 pipeline map (22 issues x 22 steps)
+
+**Anchor (Stage 1 lock)** :
+> This audit verifies pipeline contracts. It does not optimize any single MDX sample.
+
+**Companion file** : `docs/architecture/INTEGRATION-AUDIT-01-REPORT.md` -- this MATRIX is the spin-off body of REPORT Section 4 (Axis 2). Combined REPORT exceeded the 10 KB readability threshold (REPORT u1 size = 21,070 bytes) at u1 completion, so the grid is housed here per the Stage 2 split rule. REPORT Section 4 carries a back-pointer to this file.
+
+**Pipeline reference** : `docs/architecture/PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW.md` (22-step master). Block A (Steps 0-12) = pre-render planning; Block B (Step 13) = render; Block C (Steps 14-22) = post-render telemetry / exception handling.
+
+**Closed issues under audit (22 total)** : `#2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 #16 #17 #18 #45 #46 #47 #48 #49`. `#15` = parent; `#45-#49` = execution children. Parent/child de-dup convention (Stage 1 lock) -- `#15` row records integration glue only, no `P` (primary) cells; real code attribution lives in `#45-#48` rows. `#49` = verification-only, no new SHA, re-uses `#48` evidence.
+
+---
+
+## Step 0 precondition NOTE (NOT an axis, recorded above the grid)
+
+Step 0 = `docs/architecture/PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW.md` precondition block (catalog / contract / matching data / template / asset). Per Stage 2 plan, Step 0 is NOT a grid column; it is recorded here as a precondition note. Closed issues that touched Step 0 :
+
+| issue | Step 0 touch | scope summary | evidence path |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `#4` | catalog + contract expansion (16 frame_partials + F17 paired_rows_4x2 + frame_contracts.yaml schema) | adds frame DB rows + contract schema fields | `templates/phase_z2/catalog/frame_contracts.yaml` ; `templates/phase_z2/families/*.html` |
+| `#11` | contract field `min_height_px` exposure | additive contract payload field | `templates/phase_z2/catalog/frame_contracts.yaml` ; `src/phase_z2_pipeline.py` (commit `a79bd8b`) |
+| `#13` | build-time frame preview generator (salvage of `capture_slide_screenshot`) | precondition asset only (lives in `scripts/`, NOT runtime pipeline) | `scripts/generate_frame_previews.py` (commit `7d5639a`) |
+| `#14` | slide-base template contract bit (embedded vs standalone) | precondition template surface | `templates/phase_z2/slide_base.html` (commit `7a52ceb`) |
+| `#18` | doc-only carve-out (no Step 0 code change) | SVG gap report + 1-line backlog status flip | `docs/architecture/IMP-18-SVG-GAP-REPORT.md` (commit `cbbc163`) |
+
+Step 0 touches above are precondition data / template / contract; they do not flow runtime decisions in Steps 1-22 directly, except via consumers already accounted for as Step 5 / 9 / 10 / 12 / 13 / 22 cells in the grid below.
+

+
+## Cell legend
+
+- `P` = primary touch (the issue's own declared scope per body / closing commit)
+- `A` = adjacent contract (consumer / producer / cross-step dependency surface, not the primary scope)
+- `.` = not touched (blank-equivalent; dot used for column alignment in monospace renderers)
+
+Rule applied : if an issue's body or closing commit explicitly names a step or its code file, that is `P`. If the change shape forces the issue to read from or write into another step's contract without being the primary scope, that is `A`. Otherwise `.`.
+
+Parent `#15` row carries no `P` cells per the Stage 1 de-dup convention; its child rows (`#45-#48`) carry the actual `P` cells.

+## HOTSPOT enumeration (column total >= 4)
+
+9 of the 22 steps are HOTSPOT (touched by 4 or more closed issues). Listed in pipeline order :
+
+| step | col total | touching issues | hotspot meaning |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `S2 MDX normalize` | 4 | `#2 P`, `#3 A`, `#7 A`, `#16 A` | Step 2 is the entry surface for both the Stage 0 chained adapter (`#2`) and downstream content-object trace (`#3`), with reverse-path (`#7`) and verification utility (`#16`) as adjacent consumers. Cross-issue contract = `parse_mdx` output shape stays compatible with `extract_*` semantics. |
+| `S9 region-level frame/display` | 6 | `#4 A`, `#5 P`, `#6 A`, `#8 A`, `#9 A`, `#11 A` | Step 9 is the heaviest pre-render hotspot. `#5` is primary (V4 fallback / application_plan). `#4 #8 #11` extend the contract / schema feeding Step 9. `#6 #9` exercise the consumer of zone-region geometry. Cross-issue invariant : V4 candidates list + min_height contract + sub_section alias + region ratio must all agree at the Step 9 application_plan boundary. |
+| `S13 render` | 5 | `#4 A`, `#6 A`, `#8 A`, `#9 A`, `#14 P` | Step 13 is the Jinja2 render surface. `#14` (slide-base iframe mode) is primary. `#4 #6 #8 #9` flow new payload / layout css into the same renderer. Cross-issue invariant : `build_layout_css` + frame_partial + slide_base remain deterministic with no AI in path. |
+| `S14 visual_check` | 9 | `#12 A`, `#13 A`, `#15 A`, `#16 A`, `#45 P`, `#46 P`, `#47 A`, `#48 A`, `#49 A` | Highest column total. `#15` parent + 5 children (`#45-#49`) all converge here. `#12 #13 #16` are adjacent. Cross-issue invariant : detector producers (`#45 #46`) emit canonical event shape; classifier consumer (`#47`) reads the same shape; debug.json surfaces (`#48`) match -- to be re-verified by Axis 3 (REPORT Section 5). |
+| `S15 fit_classification` | 6 | `#15 A`, `#45 A`, `#46 A`, `#47 P`, `#48 A`, `#49 A` | `#47` primary (classifier consumes image + table events). All `#15` family is adjacent. Cross-issue invariant : Step 14 producer event keys agree with Step 15 `CONTENT_TYPE_PATTERNS`. |
+| `S16 router` | 4 | `#5 A`, `#12 P`, `#17 A`, `#47 A` | `#12` primary (3-stage salvage cascade). `#5` bridge fallback adjacent. `#17` gated carve-out adjacent. `#47` classifier output flows into router. Cross-issue invariant : router action map remains deterministic / no AI in normal path. |
+| `S17 action` | 4 | `#5 A`, `#9 A`, `#12 P`, `#17 A` | `#12` primary (zone_ratio_retry expansion + cross-zone donor + 3-stage cascade). `#9` zone-geometry feeds the same retry surface. `#5` V4 fallback shares `PASS_WITH_FALLBACK` status enum. `#17` is gated. Cross-issue invariant : no common-CSS shrink (per `feedback_phase_z_spacing_direction`). |
+| `S21 debug.json` | 8 | `#2 A`, `#3 A`, `#15 A`, `#16 A`, `#45 A`, `#46 A`, `#48 P`, `#49 A` | Second-highest column total. `#48` primary (debug.json event surfacing). 7 issues adjacent. Cross-issue invariant : debug.json schema additive only; no key type / semantic conflict (Axis 3 re-verifies this category). |
+| `S22 user UI/export` | 7 | `#6 A`, `#7 P`, `#8 A`, `#10 P`, `#11 P`, `#14 A`, `#16 A` | Frontend / CLI exit surface. 3 primary (`#7 #10 #11`). 4 adjacent. Cross-issue invariant : `Front/` consumes backend artifacts as read-only payload; backend never reads from frontend except via the reverse path (`#7`). |
+
+`S2 S9 S13 S14 S15 S16 S17 S21 S22` = 9 distinct hotspot steps (col total >= 4). The col-total HOTSPOT row in the grid carries 9 `H` marks ; counting check matches.
+
+---
+
+## Row total HOTSPOT (issues touching the most steps)
+
+For information only -- this dimension is not an issue-body requirement, but is useful for scope-myopia cross-check with REPORT Section 3 :
+
+| issue | row total | finding (per REPORT Section 3) |
+|---|---|---|
+| `#6`  | 7 | Warning -- wide override blast radius (4 commits + Stage 4 blocker-fix `52ccb7f`) -- matrix row total agrees |
+| `#5`  | 6 | OK -- pre-render bridge ; rank-1 path unchanged |
+| `#8`  | 6 | OK -- additive schema with explicit backward-compat alias resolver |
+| `#12` | 6 | Warning -- large blast radius (4 src + 5 test modules in `56619a0`) -- matrix row total agrees |
+| `#4`  | 5 | OK -- pre-render planning only ; catalog read-only for V4 |
+| `#9`  | 5 | OK -- 8-vocabulary build_layout_css with fixtures |
+| `#16` | 5 | OK -- utility + design doc only ; gated by `#7` activation |
+
+The two `Warning` rows in Section 3 (`#6` row total 7 and `#12` row total 6) sit at the top of the row-total ranking -- this is consistent with "wide blast radius" findings in Section 3. The other high-row-total issues (`#5 #8 #4 #9 #16`) are all `OK` per Section 3 because each ships with explicit backward-compat guards / fixtures / gating.
+
+---
+
+## Cross-check vs REPORT Section 3 adjacency list
+
+REPORT Section 3 flagged 9 adjacent-contract pairs for Axis 3 re-verification. Each pair maps onto cells in this grid :
+
+| Section 3 adjacency pair | matrix evidence |
+|---|---|
+| `#2` Step 2 normalize -> `#3` Step 3 content_object | `#2` S2 `P` + `#3` S2 `A` (producer/consumer same column) |
+| `#3` content_object -> `#8` sub_sections | `#3` S3 `P` + `#8` S3 `P` (both primary on same step -- schema extension) |
+| `#4` catalog -> `#5` V4 fallback | `#4` S5 `A` + `#5` S5 `A` (both adjacent on same step -- candidate pool dedup) |
+| `#4` catalog -> `#10 #11` min_height | `#11` S0 (NOTE) ; `#11` S9 `A` (Step 9 consumer of min_height) -- direct adjacency |
+| `#9` layout vocabulary -> `#12` retry zone-ratio | `#9` S17 `A` + `#12` S17 `P` (consumer/producer same step) |
+| `#9` -> `#11` Step 9 min_height test | `#9` S9 `A` + `#11` S9 `A` (both adjacent on same step) |
+| `#45 + #46` Step 14 -> `#47` Step 15 | `#45 #46` S14 `P` + `#47` S15 `P` ; `#47` S14 `A` (cross-step producer/consumer) |
+| `#48` debug.json -> open `#21` consumer | `#48` S21 `P` ; `#21` is out-of-scope (open) -- no grid row |
+| `#17` AI carve-out -> `#5 + #4` activation gate | `#17` S12 `P` ; `#17` S16 `A` ; `#17` S17 `A` (gated cells) |
+
+All 9 adjacency pairs map onto provable cells. Axis 3 (REPORT Section 5) will verify each pair's producer-line / consumer-line on live code.
+
+---
+
+## Empty columns (col total = 0)
+
+- `S4 section internal composition planning` -- 0 touches. Consistent with PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW Step 4 status `missing` (no closed issue implemented Step 4 yet; it remains in the open backlog).
+- `S11 content unit / child group -> internal region -> frame slot mapping` -- 0 touches. Consistent with PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW Step 11 status `missing` (Layer A / Layer B 2-stage placement algorithm not implemented).
+
+Step 4 and Step 11 are the two `missing` steps in Block A that no closed issue in the audit window addressed. This is expected per the master pipeline status; the audit records absence without claiming a gap (an implementation gap would require an OPEN issue to claim it, which is out of audit scope).
+
+---
+
+## Low-touch columns (col total = 1)
+
+- `S10 frame contract` (1) -- `#4` only ; consistent with `#4` being the catalog/contract owner.
+- `S18 failure_classify` (1) -- `#12` only ; consistent with `#12` being the retry cascade owner.
+- `S19 next_action` (1) -- `#12` only ; same.
+
+---
+
+## Notes on parent / child row separation
+
+- `#15` row carries 3 adjacencies (S14 / S15 / S21) and zero `P` cells per the Stage 1 de-dup convention.
+- `#45 #46 #47 #48` carry the corresponding `P` cells (S14 for `#45 #46` ; S15 for `#47` ; S21 for `#48`).
+- `#49` (verification-only, no new SHA) mirrors the `#48` adjacency pattern with all-`A` cells -- this is intentional and consistent with the Stage 1 lock that `#49` re-uses `#48` evidence (commit `614c533`). No double-count.
+
+Sum cross-check : `#15` 3 + `#45` 3 + `#46` 3 + `#47` 3 + `#48` 3 + `#49` 3 = 18 row-total cells across the `#15` family. None of these duplicate code attribution -- only `#45 #46 #47 #48` carry the four `P` cells (one each), totaling 4 primary cells for the family. `#15 #49` carry zero primaries.

+- `#48` -> `614c533` (execution-4, debug.json event surfacing + spec taxonomy)
+- `#49` -> no new SHA (verification-only per `#15` body; re-uses `614c533` evidence)
+
+**Close timestamp anomaly** (Stage 1 lock, recorded; NOT reopened) :
+- `#15` closed `2026-05-19T02:35:05+09:00`
+- `#45 / #46 / #47 / #48` all closed BEFORE `#15` (correct ordering)
+- `#49` closed `2026-05-19T02:49:56+09:00` -- about 15 minutes AFTER `#15` close (anomaly)
+- Disposition : record-only in Section 3 / Section 6 finding column; no remediation row in backlog beyond the existing audit completion row (u7).
+
+**Excluded (open / not in audit)** : `#1, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44`.
+
+**Sample budget** : `samples/mdx_batch/03.mdx` (smoke) plus `samples/mdx_batch/04.mdx` (details + images). Pipeline runs captured in Section 7.
+
+---
+
+## Section 2. Baseline pytest
+
+**Method** : `pytest -q tests` is the project regression suite. The audit captures it twice -- once before any u5 / u6 / u7 edits, once after Section 7 / 8 grep + render evidence is collected. Equality of both runs proves the audit-only work surface (`docs/architecture/INTEGRATION-AUDIT-*.md` + backlog row in u7) did not perturb production code.
+
+**Command** : `pytest -q tests` (working dir = repo root `D:\ad-hoc\kei\design_agent\`).
+
+**Pytest BEFORE audit u5 edits (audit date 2026-05-19)** :
+- Result : `303 passed in 40.80s`
+- Last 5 progress dots aggregated to `[100%]` then `Running teardown with pytest sessionfinish...` -- expected suite teardown banner.
+
+**Pytest AFTER audit u5 edits (post §7 / §8 evidence collection, same audit date)** :
+- Result : `303 passed in 40.54s`
+- 303 == 303 ; 0 new failures, 0 skipped, 0 errored. Test count parity proves no test discovery side-effect from new audit docs.
+
+**Verdict** : OK. Audit-only edits under `docs/architecture/INTEGRATION-AUDIT-*.md` introduce no regression. Baseline stable across u5 assembly.
+
+---
+
+## Section 3. Axis 1 -- Scope myopia (22 issues x adjacent-contract cross-reference)
+
+**Method** : per closed issue, list (a) its own scope as declared in body / backlog row / closing commits, (b) adjacent pipeline contracts the change could have leaked into, (c) downstream consumers of its outputs, (d) finding label `OK` / `Warning` / `Blocker`. Each row cites `src/`, `tests/`, `docs/`, or `templates/` paths.
+
+**De-dup convention** : `#15` is treated as the *integration parent*; the actual code/test changes are owned by execution children `#45-#49`. `#15` row records integration glue only (parent close evidence + cross-child reconciliation). No change is double-counted across parent + child.
+
+**Pipeline step shorthand (per `PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW.md`, full 22-step list)** :
+- Step 0 precondition / 1 MDX upload / 2 normalize / 3 content_object / 4 internal composition planning / 5 V4 evidence / 6 composition planning / 7 layout vocabulary / 8 zone+region ratio / 9 region-level frame/display / 10 frame contract / 11 region-to-slot mapping / 12 slot payload / 13 render / 14 visual_check / 15 fit_classification / 16 router / 17 action / 18 failure_classify / 19 next_action / 20 slide_status / 21 debug.json / 22 user UI.

+
+## Section 4. Axis 2 -- 22 issues x 22 steps pipeline matrix
+
+**Split rationale** : at u1 completion the combined REPORT was 21,070 bytes / 136 lines -- over the 10 KB readability threshold defined in the Stage 2 plan. Per the split rule (`combined REPORT >= 10 KB grid moves to MATRIX.md + back-pointer`), the 22 x 22 grid lives in the companion file :
+
+- `docs/architecture/INTEGRATION-AUDIT-01-MATRIX.md`
+
+**What MATRIX.md contains** :
+- Step 0 precondition NOTE (NOT a grid column) -- 5 issues (`#4 #11 #13 #14 #18`) recorded with scope summary + evidence path.
+- 22 x 22 grid (Step 1 through Step 22 columns x 22 issue rows). Cell legend : `P` = primary touch, `A` = adjacent contract, `.` = no touch. ASCII-only.
+- Row footer (touched-step count) and column footer (touching-issue count + `H` HOTSPOT marker for col total >= 4).
+- HOTSPOT enumeration (9 steps : `S2 S9 S13 S14 S15 S16 S17 S21 S22`).
+- Cross-check against the 9 adjacent-contract pairs flagged in Section 3.
+- Empty / low-touch column notes (Step 4 and Step 11 are `missing` per PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW -- 0 touches expected).
+- Parent/child de-dup sum check : `#15` row carries 3 adjacencies and zero `P` cells ; only `#45 #46 #47 #48` carry the 4 primary cells for the `#15` family ; `#49` is verification-only with all-`A`.
+
+**Section 4 summary (for readers staying in REPORT)** :
+- 9 hotspot steps (col total >= 4) : Step 2 (4), Step 9 (6), Step 13 (5), Step 14 (9 highest), Step 15 (6), Step 16 (4), Step 17 (4), Step 21 (8), Step 22 (7).
+- 2 empty columns : Step 4 + Step 11. Consistent with master pipeline `missing` status -- no audit gap.
+- Total grid cells filled = 77 (row sum = col sum, cross-checked).
+- Top row-total issues : `#6` (7), `#5` (6), `#8` (6), `#12` (6) -- the 2 `Warning` rows (`#6 #12`) sit at the top, consistent with Section 3 wide-blast-radius finding.
+

+
+## Section 5. Axis 3 -- Cross-issue conflict per invariant category
+
+**Method** : 6 invariant categories listed in the issue body. Per category, identify producer file:line, consumer file:line, the named state key / contract, the closed issues that touch it, agree-or-conflict verdict, plus grep evidence path. Categories are evaluated against the live tracked code at audit time, not against historical snapshots.
+
+### 5.1 Invariant category roster (from issue body)
+
+| # | category | issue-body wording |
+|---|---|---|
+| C1 | `debug.json` schema | phase_z2 debug payload paths; no conflicting key type / semantics |
+| C2 | `visual_check_passed` | `src/phase_z2_pipeline.py` Step 14 / 17; set-site <-> read-site agree |
+| C3 | `fit_classification` / router | `src/phase_z2_mapper.py` + consumers; labels consistent producer -> consumer (charter mis-cite; live producer = `src/phase_z2_classifier.py` -- see §10 F-1) |
+| C4 | Step 14 / 17 / 21 interactions | expected state values stay aligned across the trio |
+| C5 | Phase R vs Phase Z boundary | no R regression, Z additions don't leak into R |
+| C6 | template / catalog / frame count | all docs / code use same numbers (family = 13) |
+
+### 5.2 Producer / consumer / agreement table
+

+### 5.4 Axis 3 summary
+
+- 6 invariant categories evaluated. All AGREE for the closed-issue audit scope.
+- 2 surface notes recorded as Section 10 follow-up candidates :
+  - **F-1** : issue body cites `src/phase_z2_mapper.py` for invariant C3 (`fit_classification`), but the live producer is `src/phase_z2_classifier.py`. Record-keeping correction needed in any future audit charter, not a code conflict. RESOLVED via IMP-53 (2026-05-19)
+  - **F-2** : 2 untracked family templates exist on disk without `frame_contracts.yaml` entries; IMP-18 doc cites "families/*.html (13)" forward-looking. Tracked baseline (11 / 11) is consistent. Contract drift is *not* present for any closed issue; the WIP delta belongs to open work. RESOLVED via #52 option (c) (2026-05-19) -- WIP allowlist captured in `templates/phase_z2/families/_WIP_FILES.md`; tracked + contracted baseline unchanged at 11/11; promote / remove gated on #42.
+- 1 documented partial recorded :
+  - Step 21 `_write_step_artifact` at `pipeline.py:4772` carries `step_status="partial"` with note `region marker partial 미주입 -- Step 21 ⚠ partial`. This is *self-honest acknowledged* per `feedback_artifact_status_naming`; no cross-issue conflict.
+- Phase R' <-> Phase Z boundary clean both directions for the 22 closed issues.
+- 0 Blocker findings in Axis 3.

+## Section 6. Axis 4 -- Backlog vs code reality status matrix
+
+**Method** : per closed issue, compare (a) `docs/architecture/PHASE-Z-IMPLEMENTATION-ISSUE-BACKLOG.md` status column at audit time (live read 2026-05-19), (b) live src/ + templates/ + tests/ + docs/ evidence (grep hits + file existence), (c) the audit-allowed status enum `implemented | documented (deferred) | pending`, (d) mismatch flag.
+
+**Per issue-body rule set** :
+- `implemented` -> live grep on `src/**` MUST show wired call site(s); not just a single declaration with no consumer.
+- `documented (deferred)` -> live grep on `src/**` MUST NOT show a production code path that assumes the feature is active (carve-out only).
+- `pending` -> live grep on `src/**` MUST NOT show wired implementation (or evidence shows incomplete).
+- `pending -> documented` flip -> reason cited in backlog row must match what `src/**` actually contains.
+
+### 6.1 Backlog status legend (live read on audit date)
+
+| backlog status | IMP rows under audit | meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `documented` | `IMP-18` (1 row) | doc-only carve-out, no production path |
+| `pending` | `IMP-02` through `IMP-17` (16 rows) | backlog status column has NOT been flipped, despite Gitea issue being closed |
+| (no backlog row) | `#45 / #46 / #47 / #48 / #49` (5 rows) | execution children of `#15`; backlog tracks the parent `IMP-15` only -- and `IMP-15` is itself still marked `pending` in §2 row |
+
+**Headline Axis 4 finding** : `PHASE-Z-IMPLEMENTATION-ISSUE-BACKLOG.md` status column is **stale across the entire closed-issue audit scope** -- 16 of 22 audited issues are flagged `BACKLOG_STALE` (backlog `pending` vs Gitea closed + live code wired); additionally 5 of 22 carry `NO_BACKLOG_ROW` for the `#15` execution children (`#45-#49`), and only 1 of 22 (`#18`) is `AGREE`. Reconciliation: 16 `BACKLOG_STALE` + 5 `NO_BACKLOG_ROW` + 1 `AGREE` = 22 (matches Section 6.3 summary and the 15+1=16 flip plan in §6.3 follow-up reference). This is documentation drift, not a code-side contract conflict; recorded as Section 10 follow-up candidate `F-3`.
+
+### 6.2 Axis 4 -- 22 row backlog vs code reality matrix
+
+Status meaning (audit verdict column) :
+- `implemented_live` = backlog should be flipped to `implemented`; live src/ wiring proves it (grep evidence below).
+- `documented_live` = backlog `documented` matches code reality (doc-only carve-out; no prod path).
+- `child_of_parent` = no backlog row by design (execution child of parent IMP-15); status tracked via parent row.
+
+Mismatch flag :
+- `BACKLOG_STALE` = backlog says `pending` but code is wired live. Documentation drift only; no code conflict.
+- `AGREE` = backlog status matches live code reality.
+- `NO_BACKLOG_ROW` = execution child, child not represented in backlog; not an error, but parent `IMP-15` row is itself stale.

+### 6.3 Axis 4 summary
+
+- **BACKLOG_STALE** rows : `#2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 #16 #17` = 16 rows (status column reads `pending` but live code is wired; for `#17` the right target status is `documented (deferred)` while for the other 15 it is `implemented`).
+- **AGREE** rows : `#18` = 1 row (the only issue whose backlog status truthfully reflects code reality).
+- **NO_BACKLOG_ROW** rows : `#45 #46 #47 #48 #49` = 5 rows (execution children, by-design no backlog row; parent `IMP-15` row exists but is itself BACKLOG_STALE).
+- **Total** : 16 + 1 + 5 = 22 rows (matches 22 closed issues under audit).
+- **Implementation-vs-documented split** (audit verdict, ignoring backlog wording) :
+  - `implemented_live` (runtime path wired) : `#2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15(via children) #16` = 15 rows
+  - `documented_live` (doc-only / design-only carve-out, no runtime path) : `#17 #18` = 2 rows
+  - `child_of_parent` (no backlog row, attribution via parent) : `#45-#49` = 5 rows
+- **0 Blocker findings in Axis 4.** No closed issue is `pending` *and* unimplemented; the only mismatches are documentation drift in the backlog status column.
+- **Cross-axis consistency** :
+  - Axis 3 C6 frame count `11 tracked / 11 contract entries / 13 on disk (2 WIP)` matches the IMP-04 evidence in Axis 4 row 3 (BACKLOG_STALE but live code present).
+  - Axis 3 C5 boundary (Phase R' <-> Phase Z) clean both ways re-confirms `#17 #18` as documented_live (no R' leak).
+  - Axis 1 (Section 3) `Warning` rows `#6 #12 #15 #46 #49` are all still `implemented_live` in Axis 4 -- the warnings are about *blast radius* and *administrative drift*, not implementation absence.
+- **Follow-up candidate F-3** (Section 10) : `PHASE-Z-IMPLEMENTATION-ISSUE-BACKLOG.md` status column needs a sweep to flip 15 rows `pending` -> `implemented`, 1 row `pending` -> `documented (deferred)` for `IMP-17`, and either add child-row stubs for `#45-#49` or add a footnote on the `IMP-15` row pointing at the 5 execution children. This is a single-file documentation-only edit; orthogonal to source-code Stage 3 work; safe under audit-only scope (deferred to a separate follow-up issue, NOT this audit's u7 backlog row).

+## Section 7. Representative pipeline runs
+
+**Method** : run the Phase Z runtime entry (`python -m src.phase_z2_pipeline <mdx_path> <run_id>`) on the two locked samples (`samples/mdx_batch/03.mdx` smoke + `samples/mdx_batch/04.mdx` details+images). Per run capture (from `data/runs/<run_id>/phase_z2/debug.json`) : top-level keys, `slide_status.visual_check_passed`, `slide_status.overall`, zone count, per-zone frame template + slot keys + slot key count, `slide_status.visual_fail_reasons`, `slide_status.filtered_section_reasons`, `selection_paths`, `image_events` / `table_events` count. Compare invariants across both runs.
+
+**Audit date** : 2026-05-19. Both runs are fresh on this audit pass (run_ids `audit50_run_03_smoke` + `audit50_run_04_details`).

+### 7.3 Cross-run invariants
+
+| invariant | run #1 (03.mdx) | run #2 (04.mdx) | verdict |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| debug.json top-level key set | 17 keys (above) | identical 17 keys | AGREE -- Step 21 schema stable across both runs (Axis 3 C1) |
+| `slide_status` schema keys | 19 keys (`visual_check_passed`, `full_mdx_coverage`, `rendered`, `overall`, `visual_fail_reasons`, `filtered_section_ids`, `filtered_section_reasons`, `aligned_section_ids`, `covered_section_ids`, `adapter_needed_count`, `adapter_needed_units`, `content_truncated_count`, `content_truncated_units`, `fallback_selection_count`, `fallback_selections`, `fallback_used`, `selection_path`, `selection_paths`, `note`) | identical 19 keys | AGREE -- slide_status surface stable (Axis 3 C2 + C4) |
+| `fit_classification` shape | `{visual_check_passed, classifications, summary, categories_seen, ...}` -- matches Axis 3 C3 row | identical shape | AGREE -- classifier output schema invariant |
+| `visual_check_passed` semantic | `True` AND `classifications=[]` -> overall `PASS` | `True` AND `classifications=[]` AND `full_mdx_coverage=False` -> overall `PARTIAL_COVERAGE` | AGREE -- visual side passing under both runs; `PARTIAL_COVERAGE` is composition-planner side (upstream of Step 14), so visual_check_passed does NOT contradict overall status (Axis 3 C2 verdict re-confirmed) |
+| zone count vs layout preset | `horizontal-2` -> 2 zones (top + bottom) | `single` -> 1 zone (primary) | AGREE -- preset-to-zone arity matches IMP-09 B-4 vocabulary (Axis 1 row 8) |
+| frame contract resolution | both zones resolved to a contract id (rank_1 path) | only 1 of 4 selection paths resolved (3 `chain_exhausted` / `no_v4_candidate`) | DIFF EXPECTED -- 04.mdx exhibits v4 candidate gap; this is the composition-planner maturity gap (not in any closed-issue scope). Not a contract conflict. |
+| `image_events` / `table_events` arity | both = 0 | both = 0 | AGREE -- neither sample triggers Step 14 image/table self-overflow; `#45` `image_aspect_mismatch` and `#46` `table_self_overflow` event-arrays exist in the schema and are *correctly empty* when no overflow is detected |
+| router action triggered | `None` | `None` | AGREE -- Step 16 router is dormant when classifications=[] (Axis 3 C3 verdict re-confirmed; `#12` retry cascade not exercised by these samples) |
+| pipeline final banner | `PASS` (full MDX coverage + visual OK) | `PARTIAL_COVERAGE` (visual OK + composition-planner filter) | self-honest status naming per [[feedback_artifact_status_naming]] |
+
+### 7.4 Run-level findings
+
+- Both runs pass the visual_check axis (Axis 3 C2 contract). `visual_check_passed=True` agrees between `fit_classification` and `slide_status` mirror in both runs.
+- 04.mdx `PARTIAL_COVERAGE` is a composition-planner side filter (3 sections drop to `chain_exhausted` / `no_v4_candidate` before reaching Step 14). This is NOT an audit Blocker because (a) no closed issue under audit targets composition-planner coverage, (b) the status field is self-honestly named `PARTIAL_COVERAGE` rather than misnamed `PASS` (matches [[feedback_artifact_status_naming]]).
+- Step 21 `debug.json` writer surfaces a stable 17-key top-level surface across both runs; Axis 3 C1 invariant re-confirmed at runtime.
+- Zero Blocker findings in Section 7.

+
+## Section 8. Anti-hardcoding grep checklist
+
+**Method** : run the 6 anti-hardcoding patterns enumerated in the Issue #50 body. For each, capture the live hit set, classify hits (Phase Z scope vs. legacy Phase R'/Q out-of-scope vs. docstring/comment vs. test fixture), then return a verdict. Raw output preserved at `D:\ad-hoc\kei\design_agent\.orchestrator\tmp\50_grep_checklist_raw.txt` (evidence-only, not staged for commit per Stage 3 directive).
+
+**Audit date** : 2026-05-19. Searched against tracked source on this date.
+
+### 8.1 Checklist
+
+| # | pattern (issue body) | expected | live hit count (src/) | hit classification | verdict |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| G1 | `grep -E 'if .* == ["'\\''].*\.mdx' src/` | 0 hits | 0 | none | PASS |
+| G2 | `grep -E 'OVERRIDES\s*=\s*\{' src/` | each match sample-agnostic | 0 | none | PASS (vacuously sample-agnostic) |
+| G3 | `grep -E '재구성\|건설산업 DX\|BIM' src/` -- sample text leak | 0 hits | 31 source hits across 14 `.py` files (binary `.pyc` matches ignored) | (a) 20 hits in legacy Phase R'/Q files (`block_assembler_b2.py` 1, `block_matcher_tfidf.py` 1, `block_reference.py` 3, `content_editor.py` 3, `design_director.py` 2, `design_tokens.py` 1, `fit_verifier.py` 1, `frame_extractor.py` 1, `kei_client.py` 4, `pipeline.py` 3) -- pre-Phase-Z; not in audit window; (b) 11 hits in Phase Z files (`phase_z2_content_extractor.py` 7 -- all inside `if __name__ == "__main__"` self-test data blocks at lines 466/493/511/556/565/573/591; `phase_z2_failure_router.py:123` 1 -- internal taxonomy string `"topology 부터 재구성. frame_reselect 는 그 다음 단계"`; `phase_z2_mapper.py:519/529` 2 -- docstring examples; `phase_z2_retry.py:59` 1 -- docstring). Per-file count sum = 20 + 11 = 31, matching the live total. | PASS for the audit scope -- **0 closed-issue (#2-#18 + #45-#49)** introduces new sample-specific hardcoded BIM/재구성/건설산업 string literals into runtime code paths. All 11 Phase Z hits are docstring/taxonomy/self-test fixtures, none injected into runtime contracts. Legacy 20 hits are out of audit window. Recorded as Section 10 follow-up candidate `F-4` for future cleanup (doc-only, optional). |
+| G4 | `grep -E 'height\s*=\s*720\|aspect\s*=\s*0\.5' src/` -- magic literal pinning | 0 hits | 0 | none | PASS |
+| G5 | sample paths come from CLI args / config, not hardcoded | sample-agnostic | 4 occurrences across 2 files (`src/block_assembler.py:1390/1393` + `src/image_utils.py:62/65`) | all 4 hits use `samples/mdx_batch` as one of several **generic asset search directories** alongside `samples/images` (image asset discovery fallback). The directory is treated as a discovery namespace, not as a path to a specific MDX file. CLI entry (`src/phase_z2_pipeline.py:4861`) takes `mdx_path` as positional arg -- no hardcoded MDX path on the runtime entry. | PASS -- sample-agnostic asset discovery default; not a per-sample pin. |
+| G6 | `tests/` : sample-specific fixtures only under `tests/fixtures/`, not in production pipeline | fixtures isolated | `tests/fixtures/` directory does not exist; closest hits = `tests/phase_z2/test_pz2_vu_integration.py:6, 82` referencing `samples/mdx_batch/02.mdx` as smoke-coverage MDX | the references in `test_pz2_vu_integration.py` are inside a verification-utility integration test (`#16` IMP-16 scope). The test file is named with the test prefix and lives in `tests/phase_z2/`, so pytest discovery treats it as a test, not as a production module. No production pipeline file imports a sample MDX path literal. | PASS WITH NOTE -- no `tests/fixtures/` directory exists today; the existing integration tests already keep sample references inside `tests/phase_z2/test_*.py`, which discharges the spirit of the rule. Optional follow-up: formalize a `tests/fixtures/` directory if sample inventory grows. Recorded as Section 10 follow-up candidate `F-5` (low priority, doc-only). |
+
+### 8.2 Anti-hardcoding verdict
+
+- 4 patterns PASS cleanly with 0 hits (G1, G2, G4) and 1 PASS with sample-agnostic hits (G5).
+- 1 pattern PASS-for-audit-scope with classification (G3) : 11 Phase Z hits are all docstrings/taxonomy/self-test fixtures; 20 legacy hits are out of the 22-closed-issue audit window. Per-file counts sum to 31, matching the live grep total. No closed issue introduces new hardcoded sample text into a runtime code path.
+- 1 pattern PASS WITH NOTE (G6) : `tests/fixtures/` directory not yet established; existing integration test references stay inside `tests/phase_z2/`. Already aligned with the spirit of the rule.
+- **0 Blocker findings in Section 8.**
+- Cross-axis : the F-4 / F-5 follow-up candidates are doc-only optional cleanup; they do not alter any closed-issue contract.

+## Section 9. Final decision
+
+**Decision** : **CONDITIONAL GO for #19**.
+
+### 9.1 Summary across all 4 audit axes + supporting sections
+
+| section | axis | Blocker | Warning | OK | follow-up candidates |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| §3 | Axis 1 -- scope myopia | 0 | 5 (`#6 #12 #15 #46 #49`) | 17 | none Blocker; warnings are blast-radius + administrative drift |

+
+### 9.2 Blocker tally
+
+- **0 Blocker** findings across all four axes and all supporting sections.
+- 5 Warning rows in §3 are about blast radius (`#6 #12`), administrative commit-label drift (`#46`), and parent/child close-timestamp anomaly (`#15 #49`). None of them indicate broken code contracts.
+- All BACKLOG_STALE rows in §6 are documentation drift, not implementation absence. Live grep on `src/**` confirms each closed issue is wired (or carved-out as designed for `#17 #18`).
+- 5 follow-up candidates (F-1 .. F-5) are all doc-only. None require source code changes.
+
+### 9.3 Why CONDITIONAL GO, not unconditional GO
+
+Audit found zero Blocker, but the conditions for upgrading to unconditional GO are not met because:
+
+1. **F-3 (backlog sweep)** is the largest doc-drift surface (16 of 22 audited rows mislabeled). Issue #19 will read the backlog when scoping next-step coverage; running #19 against a stale backlog risks a planner who treats already-implemented features as still pending. The F-3 follow-up should be filed and merged before -- or at minimum in parallel with -- #19 Stage 2 planning.
+2. **F-2 (family template count drift)** matters if #19 touches the catalog / `frame_contracts.yaml` (likely). The audit confirms 11 tracked entries are consistent today, but #19 should reconcile the 2 WIP files (`app_sw_package_vs_solution.html`, `pre_construction_model_info_stacked.html`) before adding any new family templates.
+3. **F-1 (record-keeping for invariant C3 producer file path)** -- a small but real mismatch between the issue body wording (`src/phase_z2_mapper.py`) and the live producer (`src/phase_z2_classifier.py`). Should be fixed in the audit charter / spec doc before the next integration audit so future audits do not repeat the same drift check.
+
+F-4 / F-5 are optional and do not gate #19.
+
+### 9.4 Conditions to satisfy for #19 progression
+
+- File F-1 / F-2 / F-3 as Section 10 follow-up issues (text-only drafts produced in u6).
+- F-3 backlog sweep should land before #19 Stage 2 (so #19 plans against accurate status).
+- F-2 family template reconciliation should land before #19 introduces new family templates (whichever comes first).
+- F-1 is a one-line spec-doc edit, can land any time before the next INTEGRATION-AUDIT issue is opened.
+
+### 9.5 Decision sentence
+
+> **Issue #19 is approved for entry under CONDITIONAL GO**, with the explicit dependency that follow-up F-3 (backlog status sweep) must land before #19 Stage 2 planning consumes the backlog, and F-2 (family template reconciliation) must land before any #19 work that extends the catalog. No production source code change is required from this audit. Pytest baseline stable (303 passed BEFORE + AFTER).
+
+---
+
+## Section 10. Follow-up issue drafts (text-only, not auto-posted)
+
+**Scope rule (Stage 2 u6 contract)** : per-draft fields = `title` + `source_axis` (1-4) + `scope` (what files / what change) + `evidence_link` (REPORT section that produced the finding). **No Gitea post.** Final disposition of each candidate is the orchestrator / human triage decision after #50 closes; this REPORT only records the audit-side text.
+
+Five candidates were produced by Axes 1-4. F-3 + F-2 + F-1 are blocking conditions for upgrading §9 CONDITIONAL GO -> unconditional GO for #19; F-4 + F-5 are optional housekeeping. None require source-code changes inside this audit.
+
+### 10.1 F-1 -- audit charter record-keeping : invariant C3 producer file path -- RESOLVED via IMP-53 (2026-05-19)
+
+- **title** : `[AUDIT-CHARTER-FIX] invariant C3 (fit_classification) producer cited as src/phase_z2_mapper.py; live producer is src/phase_z2_classifier.py`
+- **source_axis** : Axis 3 (cross-issue conflict, invariant category C3) -- recorded in §5.2 C3 row + §5.4 follow-up bullet F-1.
+- **scope** :
+  - one-line fix in any future INTEGRATION-AUDIT-* issue body or in `docs/architecture/PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW.md` if it cites the wrong file for `fit_classification` producer.
+  - replace text `src/phase_z2_mapper.py` -> `src/phase_z2_classifier.py` *only in the context of `fit_classification` invariant* (mapper.py legitimately owns slot payload and registries, so do not blanket-rename).
+  - update audit charter template (if one exists) so the next integration audit does not repeat the drift check.
+- **scope-lock** : **doc-only**, zero `src/**` / `templates/**` / `tests/**` edits.
+- **evidence_link** :
+  - REPORT §5.2 row C3 (issue body wording vs. live producer).
+  - REPORT §5.4 follow-up bullet F-1.
+  - Live producer site : `src/phase_z2_classifier.py:495-497` (return dict with `visual_check_passed`, `classifications`, `summary`, `categories_seen`, `unclassified_signals`, `placement_diagnostics`).
+- **priority / gating** : low priority on its own; required for charter cleanliness; **not** a blocker for #19 Stage 2.
+
+### 10.2 F-2 -- family template count reconciliation : 11 tracked / 11 contracted / 13 on disk -- RESOLVED via #52 (option c, 2026-05-19)
+
+- **title** : `[FAMILY-TEMPLATE-RECONCILE] templates/phase_z2/families/ has 13 .html files on disk but 11 tracked + 11 frame_contracts entries; 2 WIP files (app_sw_package_vs_solution.html, pre_construction_model_info_stacked.html) untracked`
+- **source_axis** : Axis 3 (invariant category C6 template / catalog / frame count) -- recorded in §5.2 C6 row + §5.4 follow-up bullet F-2 + §6.3 Axis 4 cross-axis consistency bullet.
+- **scope** :
+  - decide whether the 2 untracked WIP family templates (`app_sw_package_vs_solution.html`, `pre_construction_model_info_stacked.html`) should be (a) tracked + contracted (add to `frame_contracts.yaml`, add to `git ls-files`), (b) removed if abandoned, or (c) explicitly noted as in-progress with a parent issue.
+  - reconcile the IMP-18 SVG-gap report doc citation `families/*.html (13)` against whichever decision is chosen (so the doc count matches code reality).
+- **scope-lock** : touches `templates/phase_z2/families/*.html`, `templates/phase_z2/catalog/frame_contracts.yaml`, `docs/architecture/IMP-18-SVG-GAP-REPORT.md`. **Must NOT be folded into #19 silently**: any catalog growth needs a dedicated issue per [[feedback_workflow_atomicity_rules]] (one commit = one decision).
+- **evidence_link** :
+  - REPORT §5.2 row C6 ("AGREE FOR TRACKED BASELINE -- 11 tracked family templates <-> 11 frame_contracts entries").
+  - REPORT §5.5 row "C6 family templates -- on disk" (`ls templates/phase_z2/families/*.html` = 13).
+  - REPORT §6.3 Axis 4 cross-axis consistency bullet (matches IMP-04 evidence).
+- **priority / gating** : **must land before #19 introduces any new family template** (per §9.3 condition 2). Until #19's catalog touch surface is known, this can be filed independently.
+- **resolution** : option (c) -- 2 WIP family templates explicitly noted as in-progress and tracked outside `frame_contracts.yaml` (RESOLVED via Gitea #52, 2026-05-19) :
+  - WIP allowlist : `templates/phase_z2/families/_WIP_FILES.md` (added by #52 u1) -- names both files with Figma frame IDs (`app_sw_package_vs_solution.html` -> frame 23 / `1171281203`; `pre_construction_model_info_stacked.html` -> frame 9 / `1171281180`) and explicit "not in `frame_contracts.yaml`, not in runtime matcher set" status; promote / remove gated on Gitea #42.
+  - IMP-18 doc reconciled : `docs/architecture/IMP-18-SVG-GAP-REPORT.md` L28 + L30 + L51 corrected from disk-only "13 files" / "15 partials" wording to "11 contracted + 2 WIP untracked = 13 on disk" (#52 u2) -- runtime matcher consumes the contracted set only; doc / tracked / contracted surfaces agree at 11 active.
+  - baseline guard (planned by #52 u4) : `tests/test_family_contract_baseline.py` will enforce tracked families <-> `frame_contracts.yaml` 1:1 set-equality modulo WIP allowlist parsed from `_WIP_FILES.md`; future drift (#42 or otherwise) fails CI.
+  - tracked baseline (11 contracted families <-> 11 `frame_contracts.yaml` entries) unchanged; no contract entries added or removed; no runtime matcher mutation; **C6 invariant remains AGREE** for the closed-issue audit scope.
+  - **F-2 closed-by-#52** under [[feedback_workflow_atomicity_rules]] (one commit = one decision unit), without re-opening any §5 C-invariant or §6.3 Axis 4 conclusion. #19 catalog-touch gate (per §9.3 condition 2) is now satisfied for the current 11/11 baseline; any #19 / #42 catalog growth must reconcile the WIP allowlist before merge.

+- **source_axis** : Axis 4 (backlog vs code reality) -- recorded in §6.1 headline finding + §6.2 22-row matrix + §6.3 follow-up candidate F-3 + §9.1 §6 row + §9.3 condition 1.
+- **scope** :

+- **priority / gating** : **highest of the 5 candidates**. **Must land before #19 Stage 2 planning** (per §9.3 condition 1) so that #19's planner reads accurate `implemented` / `documented (deferred)` status and does not treat already-wired features as still pending.

+### 10.4 F-4 -- legacy Phase R' / Q sample-literal cleanup (OPTIONAL)
+
+- **title** : `[LEGACY-LITERAL-CLEANUP] 20 hits of 재구성 / 건설산업 DX / BIM across 10 legacy Phase R'/Q files (block_assembler_b2.py, block_matcher_tfidf.py, block_reference.py, content_editor.py, design_director.py, design_tokens.py, fit_verifier.py, frame_extractor.py, kei_client.py, pipeline.py)`
+- **source_axis** : Axis-supporting Section 8 (anti-hardcoding grep checklist) -- recorded in §8.1 row G3 + §8.2 third bullet + §9.1 §8 row.
+- **scope** :
+  - per-file review of the 20 legacy hits to determine which are docstrings / comments (keep), legacy taxonomy (keep with annotation), or true sample-literal pins (remove or generalize).
+  - per-file counts to triage : `block_assembler_b2.py` 1, `block_matcher_tfidf.py` 1, `block_reference.py` 3, `content_editor.py` 3, `design_director.py` 2, `design_tokens.py` 1, `fit_verifier.py` 1, `frame_extractor.py` 1, `kei_client.py` 4, `pipeline.py` 3.

+- **scope-lock** : potentially touches legacy `src/**` files NOT in the Phase Z 22-step pipeline. Must be filed as a deliberate cleanup issue with its own scope-lock. If any file flagged here turns out to be on a live Phase Z code path on review, demote the candidate or split it.
+- **evidence_link** :
+  - REPORT §8.1 row G3 (per-file count breakdown, audit date 2026-05-19).
+  - REPORT §8.2 third bullet (20 legacy + 11 Phase Z = 31, reconciliation).
+  - Raw grep output : `D:\ad-hoc\kei\design_agent\.orchestrator\tmp\50_grep_checklist_raw.txt`.
+- **priority / gating** : **optional, low priority, doc-only follow-up note**. Does NOT gate #19; §8 verdict already PASS for audit scope. Recorded for completeness so future audits do not re-discover the same 20-hit baseline.
+
+### 10.5 F-5 -- formalize tests/fixtures/ directory (OPTIONAL)
+
+- **title** : `[TESTS-FIXTURES-FORMALIZE] tests/fixtures/ directory does not exist; sample MDX references currently live in tests/phase_z2/test_pz2_vu_integration.py`
+- **source_axis** : Axis-supporting Section 8 (anti-hardcoding grep checklist G6) -- recorded in §8.1 row G6 + §8.2 fourth bullet.
+- **scope** :
+  - if-and-only-if sample inventory grows beyond what fits inside `tests/phase_z2/test_*.py` files, formalize a `tests/fixtures/` directory holding sample-specific fixtures.
+  - migrate existing `samples/mdx_batch/02.mdx` references in `tests/phase_z2/test_pz2_vu_integration.py:6, 82` only if migration is part of a broader test-fixture refactor (otherwise leave them as integration smoke).
+  - update the issue-body rule wording to acknowledge that `tests/phase_z2/test_*.py` already discharges the spirit of "no sample-specific fixtures in production pipeline".
+- **scope-lock** : touches `tests/fixtures/` (new directory if filed) + the cited test files. Must NOT be folded into any unrelated test refactor.
+- **evidence_link** :
+  - REPORT §8.1 row G6 verdict "PASS WITH NOTE".
+  - REPORT §8.2 fourth bullet (`tests/fixtures/` not yet established).
+- **priority / gating** : **optional, very low priority**. Filing is only justified when sample inventory grows; the current state is already aligned with the spirit of the rule.
+
+#### 10.5.1 F-5 docs-only resolution addendum (#54 Stage 3 u5, 2026-05-19)
+
+Per issue #54 Stage 2 plan, F-5 is closed as **docs-only**; no root `tests/fixtures/` directory is created in this work. The current fixture inventory does not justify migration, and the existing convention is sufficient. The convention is recorded here so future anti-hardcoding audits can distinguish fixture / test-only paths from production paths without re-discovering the §8 G6 PASS-WITH-NOTE baseline.
+
+- **Existing convention (DO NOT CHANGE)** : `tests/phase_z2/fixtures/` exists as a YAML regression fixture root (loaded by `tests/phase_z2/test_fixtures_loader.py`). Subdirectories present at audit time : `tests/phase_z2/fixtures/build_layout_css/`, `tests/phase_z2/fixtures/retry_gate/`. This is the canonical home for Phase Z regression fixtures.
+- **Root `tests/fixtures/` (ABSENT)** : not created in #54. If a future change requires a non-Phase-Z, non-YAML fixture corpus (for example, multi-file MDX golden inputs that grow beyond what `tests/phase_z2/test_*.py` can hold inline), the migration must be filed as its own Gitea issue with its own scope-lock per §10.5.
+- **Allowed sample references** : `samples/mdx_batch/**` and `samples/mdx/**` may be referenced from `tests/**` (test-only paths) for integration smoke -- e.g. the existing `samples/mdx_batch/02.mdx` references in `tests/phase_z2/test_pz2_vu_integration.py`. These do not violate the §8 anti-hardcoding rule because the spirit of the rule targets production pipeline code, not test runners.
+- **Forbidden sample references** : production pipeline code (`src/**` runtime path) must NOT hardcode sample-specific MDX filenames or content (e.g. `02.mdx`, `03.mdx`, frame-specific labels keyed to a sample). The 20 legacy Phase R'/Q hits annotated under F-4 (#54 Stage 3 u1-u4) are intentional documented examples in docstrings / comments / glossary regex / sample-data dicts, not runtime input pins; they are out of scope for this rule by §10.4 verdict.
+- **AI-isolation contract** : this addendum is text-only. No production behavior change, no runtime sample-path mutation, no new fixture file. Compatible with PZ-1 (AI = 0 on normal path) and [[feedback_ai_isolation_contract]].
+- **Cross-reference** : `tests/CLAUDE.md` fixture convention note (#54 Stage 3 u5) mirrors the test-only / production rule split documented here.

+### 10.6 Follow-up summary
+
+| candidate | source axis | doc-only? | gates #19? | priority |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| F-1 audit-charter producer file path | Axis 3 (§5) | YES | NO | low (charter cleanup) |
+| F-2 family template count reconcile | Axis 3 (§5) | NO -- touches templates / catalog / docs | gate IF #19 extends catalog | medium |
+| F-3 backlog status sweep | Axis 4 (§6) | YES | YES -- must land before #19 Stage 2 plan | **highest** |
+| F-4 legacy R'/Q literal cleanup | §8 (anti-hardcoding) | NO -- legacy src/ touch surface | NO | low (optional) |
+| F-5 tests/fixtures/ formalize | §8 (anti-hardcoding) | NO -- tests/ migration | NO | very low (optional) |
+
+- **Counts** : 5 candidates total. 3 are blocking conditions for upgrading §9 CONDITIONAL GO to unconditional GO for #19 (F-3 hard-gates, F-2 conditional-gates on catalog touch, F-1 nice-to-have before next audit). 2 are optional housekeeping (F-4, F-5).
+- **Compliance with Stage 2 u6 contract** : per-draft fields (title / source_axis / scope / evidence_link) populated for each of F-1 .. F-5. **Zero auto-posts** -- this section is text-only. Filing decisions = orchestrator / human after #50 closes.
+- **AI-isolation contract** : none of the 5 follow-up candidates require AI on a normal path. F-2 / F-4 / F-5 are scope decisions to be made by a human reviewer. Compatible with [[feedback_ai_isolation_contract]] and PZ-1 (AI = 0 on normal path).

+
+## 3. IMP-07 verdict (with evidence)
+
+**Verdict**: `documented:no-runtime` — reverse-path (B-2 Edited HTML → MDX) was closed by user policy decision on 2026-05-15 (c.17970) and re-affirmed by structured close-audit on 2026-05-18 (c.19226 + c.19240). **No backend adapter, no frontend trigger, no `html_to_slide_mdx` port exists in this repository.**
+
+### Evidence chain (compact form — full verbatim in drafts)
+
+1. **Initial close decision** — c.17970 (2026-05-15T18:28:22+09:00):
+   > `<< 해당 기능 필요 없음 >>`
+   > `(*) mdx → html 변환 이후 html 수기 수정된 것은 html에서만 적용.`
+2. **Structured close-audit (v1)** — c.19226 (2026-05-18T08:31:05+09:00). Section 3 enumerates the *absence* of every required runtime surface: SlideCanvas outerHTML capture absent; backend POST absent; `/api/edit | /api/html_to_mdx | /api/save` endpoints absent; glubeot `html_to_slide_mdx` not ported. Section 5 verdict: `"코드 변경 없이 close … '구현 완료'가 아니라 '기능 불필요 / 현 정책상 reverse path 미진행'"`.
+3. **Structured close-audit (v2 restatement)** — c.19240 (2026-05-18T08:41:19+09:00):
+   > `"이 이슈는 코드 변경 없이 정책 판단으로 close했다."`
+4. **Live BE grep** (`src/`, pattern P): 1 hit at `src/phase_z2_verification_utils.py:68` inside the docstring of `extract_text_from_html()`. Function body is a deterministic, pure text extractor (`no I/O, no LLM, no network`) — **not** a reverse-path adapter, **not** an HTML→MDX converter, **not** a pipeline re-entry call site.
+5. **Live FE grep** (`Front/client/src/`, pattern P): 0 hits across populated React/TS tree — true absence, not missing-dir false negative.
+
+### Why not `implemented:partial`
+
+c.19226 §3 enumerates the absence of **every** required runtime surface (frontend, backend, converter, endpoint). `implemented:partial` would imply at least one runtime substrate is present; none is.
+
+### Why not plain `documented` / `documented (deferred)`
+
+IMP-17/18/19/20 use `documented` / `documented (deferred)` to mean "design captured, runtime deferred pending an explicit activation gate (IMP-17 carve-out, IMP-18 gap report, etc.)". IMP-07 is a stronger statement — **closed by explicit policy decision, no runtime, reactivation requires reopening the policy in a separate issue**. The `:no-runtime` suffix encodes that distinction so future readers can tell IMP-07 apart from the IMP-17/18/19/20 `documented` family.
+
+### Reactivation contract (informational, NOT a doc edit)
+
+Per c.19226 §5 and c.19240 closing line, reverse-path reactivation requires reopening IMP-07 policy in a **separate** issue covering: endpoint design, marker coverage, re-entry validation. This audit does NOT reopen that policy.
+
+---
+
+## 4. IMP-16-U2 deferred items resolution (with evidence)
+
+**Source**: `docs/architecture/IMP-16-U2-WIRING-DESIGN.md` lines 69–75 (read-only; this doc is FORBIDDEN to edit in this audit per u1).
+
+**Governing gate** (doc L12–L16): three clauses MUST be cleared before any IMP-16-U2 wiring lands.
+
+| gate clause | required state | observed | gate status |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `IMP-07 implemented + verified` | runtime adapter in `src/`, verified | Gitea #7 closed as policy / no-runtime (c.17970 / c.19226 §5 / c.19240) | **NOT CLEARED** |
+| Repo grep returns runtime hit in non-test `src/` module | ≥1 non-docstring runtime hit for pattern P | u3 hits=1, **docstring only** at `src/phase_z2_verification_utils.py:68` (pure text extractor) | **NOT CLEARED** |
+| Reverse-path entry emits (a) re-entry MDX + (b) upstream HTML | both as deterministic outputs | c.19226 §3 enumerates absence of every required surface; u3 FE grep hits=0 | **NOT CLEARED** |
+
+All three gate clauses NOT CLEARED → resolution policy from issue body Q3 branches: "If Q1 confirms no-runtime / dormant → reclassify item as dormant pending reverse-path reactivation."
+
+### Per-item resolution
+
+| item | text (verbatim, doc L71–L73) | classification | reason | evidence anchor |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| (a) | Exact module path of the IMP-07 reverse-path adapter (TBD by IMP-07). | **DORMANT** | No reverse-path adapter exists in `src/`. The TBD slot stays TBD — not answered with a placeholder path. | u3 §3 (single docstring hit at `src/phase_z2_verification_utils.py:68`); c.19226 §3 absent-surface enumeration |
+| (b) | Step 2 preservation cross-check: per-section variant vs whole-MDX variant. | **DORMANT (gate closed)** | Step 2 surface = `verify_text_preservation(reentry_mdx, upstream_generated_html, area_name=...)` (doc L29). With no emitter producing `reentry_mdx`, the per-section vs whole-MDX choice is unanswerable from runtime evidence. | doc L29; u3 §3; c.19226 §3 (`html_to_slide_mdx` not in repo); c.19226 §5 |
+| (c) | Step 14 invented-text telemetry: per `area_name` vs global. | **DORMANT (gate closed)** | Step 14 surface = `detect_invented_text(reentry_mdx, final_html)` (doc L35). With no FE producer of area-tagged HTML (u3 FE grep hits=0), the granularity question has no runtime substrate. The current Step 14 `run_overflow_check` path is unchanged because no reverse-path re-entry sets `debug.json["pipeline"]["reverse_path_reentry"] = True` (doc L42 schema gate). | doc L35; doc L42; u3 §4 (FE 0-hits); c.19240 closing line |
+
+### Axis disambiguation (why DORMANT, not no-runtime)
+
+IMP-07 is **policy-closed** (active decline). IMP-16's verification helpers are **code-present** in `src/phase_z2_verification_utils.py` (u6 `split_into_sentences`, u8 `verify_text_preservation`, u9 `detect_invented_text` ports). The wiring they would land is **gated by IMP-07** (doc L12–L16). Because the gate is closed, the helpers are runtime-inert — they have no upstream caller. `:dormant` captures "code-shape present, runtime entry-point absent"; `:no-runtime` would imply the helpers themselves are absent (they are not).

+Target file: `docs/architecture/PHASE-Z-IMPLEMENTATION-ISSUE-BACKLOG.md` — line-scoped edit to L51 and L67 status cells only. **Exactly 2 line changes**; surrounding cells (id / title / step / source / priority / scope / guardrail / dependency) byte-for-byte unchanged on both rows. Adjacent rows (L50 IMP-06, L52 IMP-08, L66 IMP-15, L68 IMP-17) untouched.
+
+### L51 — IMP-07: `implemented` → `documented:no-runtime`
+
+```diff
+-| ... | hard link: IMP-02 (A-1 normalize schema 와 reverse path schema 정합 필요) | implemented |
++| ... | hard link: IMP-02 (A-1 normalize schema 와 reverse path schema 정합 필요) | documented:no-runtime |
+```
+
+Justification: §3 verdict + close-trio (c.17970 / c.19226 / c.19240) + BE grep (docstring only) + FE grep (0 hits).
+
+### L67 — IMP-16: `implemented` → `documented:dormant`
+
+```diff
+-| ... | hard link: IMP-07 (B-2 main 활성 시점 의미) | implemented |
++| ... | hard link: IMP-07 (B-2 main 활성 시점 의미) | documented:dormant |
+```
+
+Justification: §4 — all three deferred items DORMANT under the IMP-07 no-runtime gate. The row's own `hard link: IMP-07` declares its meaning is conditioned on IMP-07 activation.
+
+### Status-vocabulary precedent
+
+Existing tokens in the file: `pending` (L45), `implemented` (L46–L66 majority), `documented (deferred)` (L68 IMP-17), `documented` (L69 IMP-18 / L70 IMP-19 / L71 IMP-20). The proposed `documented:<qualifier>` form is a minimal suffix extension of an already-present family — and is **explicitly enumerated by the issue body's Q2**: "propose corrected status (`implemented` / `implemented:partial` / `documented:dormant` / `documented:no-runtime` / etc.)".
+
+---
+
+## 6. Follow-up issue recommendations (drafts, NOT posted)
+
+Auto-posting follow-ups is out-of-scope per u1. The drafts below are recommended text only; this audit does **not** post them.
+
+### Recommended follow-up #1 — doc-sync banner for `IMP-16-U2-WIRING-DESIGN.md`
+
+- **Draft title**: `[DOC-SYNC] IMP-16-U2-WIRING-DESIGN.md — add cross-reference banner to INTEGRATION-AUDIT-02-REPORT.md (IMP-07 closed-as-no-runtime context)`
+- **Scope sketch**:
+  - Add a one-paragraph banner near the top of `IMP-16-U2-WIRING-DESIGN.md` (post-§1 "Status" paragraph) cross-referencing this audit report.
+  - Banner content: IMP-07 was closed-as-no-runtime per Gitea #7 (c.17970 / c.19226 / c.19240). The L12–L16 gate clauses remain unchanged but are currently NOT CLEARED; the 3 deferred items (L71–L73) are DORMANT pending a future reverse-path reactivation issue.
+  - **Do NOT** modify the gate clauses, the per-step wiring contract, or the deferred items themselves — preserve them verbatim as the binding contract for any future IMP-07 reactivation.
+- **Allowed file changes**: `docs/architecture/IMP-16-U2-WIRING-DESIGN.md` (banner add only); optionally a one-line back-link in `INTEGRATION-AUDIT-02-REPORT.md`.
+- **Forbidden**: any change to the doc's gate clauses, per-step contract, or deferred items list; any change to `src/**`, `templates/**`, `tests/**`.
+- **Acceptance**: banner contains explicit cross-link to `INTEGRATION-AUDIT-02-REPORT.md`, cites c.17970 / c.19226 / c.19240, and states the 3 deferred items are DORMANT (not resolved, not closed).
+- **Rationale for separating from this audit**: per u1 scope-lock, `IMP-16-U2-WIRING-DESIGN.md` is a forbidden write surface in INTEGRATION-AUDIT-02 (issue #56). The banner addition is a separate doc-sync axis.
+
+### No runtime follow-up needed under current policy
+
+Reverse-path runtime activation is **out-of-scope under current user policy** (c.17970 / c.19226 §5 / c.19240). A runtime follow-up would require reopening IMP-07 policy in a separate issue — that decision lies with the user, not with this audit. This audit does NOT recommend a runtime follow-up at this time.
+
+### Pre-existing follow-up linkage (informational)
+
+Per the issue body's "Sequence note", the next planned issue #57 ([P5][DORMANT-TRIGGER-GUARD]) will register IMP-17 / IMP-18 / IMP-19 + (per #56 outcome) IMP-16 / IMP-07 + IMP-20 as followup-linked to #55. This audit's verdict feeds #57's dormant-trigger registry input: IMP-07 enters as `documented:no-runtime`; IMP-16 enters as `documented:dormant`.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Final decision
+
+**`NEEDS_DOC_SYNC_FOLLOWUP`**
+
+Rationale: the in-scope reconciliation (backlog L51 + L67 status corrections) is performed in u7. However, `IMP-16-U2-WIRING-DESIGN.md` opens with `**Status**: design-only contract. **No runtime wiring lands in this issue.** All wiring is gated behind IMP-07 reverse-path activation (B-2 main). When IMP-07 lands, this doc becomes the binding contract …` (L3) — written under the original assumption that IMP-07 would eventually land as runtime. With IMP-07 now classified `documented:no-runtime` (policy decline, not deferred-pending-future), this framing is stale without a cross-reference banner pointing readers to the present audit. Because u1 forbids direct edits to that doc, the banner addition must be a separate follow-up issue (drafted in §6, NOT posted by this audit).
+
+Why not `BACKLOG_PATCH_ONLY`: the backlog patch alone leaves `IMP-16-U2-WIRING-DESIGN.md` reading as a future-binding contract without acknowledging the IMP-07 close. A reader landing on that doc would not know to consult this audit.
+
+Why not `NEEDS_RUNTIME_FOLLOWUP`: reverse-path runtime is out-of-scope under current user policy (c.17970 / c.19226 §5 / c.19240); recommending a runtime follow-up would contradict the binding close-decision.
+

+
+## Acceptance Criteria checklist (issue body)
+
+| AC | requirement | status |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | No production source code (`src/**`, `templates/**`, `tests/**`) changes | ✅ — u1 forbids; u2–u6 verified empty tracked diff on these surfaces; u7 scoped to BACKLOG.md only |
+| 2 | No direct modification of `IMP-16-U2-WIRING-DESIGN.md` | ✅ — u1 forbids; banner addition deferred to follow-up #1 in §6 |
+| 3 | Each of Q1~Q4 has evidence-backed answer | ✅ — §1 table cites u2/u3/u4 drafts; §3, §4, §5, §6 expand each answer |
+| 4 | Evidence table includes concrete `file:line`, comment IDs, commit SHAs | ✅ — §2 cites `src/phase_z2_verification_utils.py:68`, c.17970 / c.19226 / c.19240, SHA `47f072e`, `BACKLOG.md:51` / `:67`, `IMP-16-U2-WIRING-DESIGN.md:69-75` / `:12-16` |
+| 5 | Final decision ∈ {BACKLOG_PATCH_ONLY, NEEDS_DOC_SYNC_FOLLOWUP, NEEDS_RUNTIME_FOLLOWUP} | ✅ — §7 = `NEEDS_DOC_SYNC_FOLLOWUP` |
+| 6 | Body size budget: each Gitea comment ≤ 8000 chars | ✅ — Stage 3 comments split large evidence into `.orchestrator/drafts/56_*.md` + this report; report body itself is not a comment |
+
+---
+
+## Evidence drafts (RULE-6 evidence-only; NOT staged for commit)
+
+- u1: `.orchestrator/drafts/56_scope_lock.md` — scope binding + forbidden / allowed writes.
+- u2: `.orchestrator/drafts/56_close_evidence.md` — c.17970 / c.19226 / c.19240 verbatim.
+- u3: `.orchestrator/drafts/56_code_grep.md` — `src/` 1 hit (docstring) + `Front/client/src/` 0 hits.
+- u4: `.orchestrator/drafts/56_imp16_deferred.md` — 3 deferred items DORMANT (per-item table).
+- u5: `.orchestrator/drafts/56_backlog_diff.md` — L51 + L67 status-cell diff proposal.
+
+These drafts are evidence-only per RULE 6 and remain untracked. The committed deliverables of INTEGRATION-AUDIT-02 are: (i) this report (`INTEGRATION-AUDIT-02-REPORT.md`), and (ii) the 2 line-scoped status-cell edits applied in u7 (`PHASE-Z-IMPLEMENTATION-ISSUE-BACKLOG.md` L51 + L67).

+
+> 이 문서는 **왜** 이 프로젝트를 하는지, **무엇을 위해** 이슈와 audit 을 도는지, 그리고 **그 구조가 어떻게 짜여있는지** 기록한다. 매번 처음부터 설명하지 않기 위함.
+>
+> 작성: 2026-05-20.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Destination (도착점)
+
+**Phase Z 가 다음 두 가지까지 작동하면 프로젝트 목표 달성**:
+
+1. **22-step pipeline** end-to-end 작동
+   - 참조: [`PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW.md`](PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-OVERVIEW.md)
+   - 현재 status: [`PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-STATUS-BOARD.md`](PHASE-Z-PIPELINE-STATUS-BOARD.md)
+2. **AI 가 zone fit 평가 → 안 맞는 frame reject → zone 에 맞는 frame 생성**
+   - frame 이 zone 안에 들어가지 않으면 AI 가 reject
+   - reject 후 zone 에 맞춰 frame 을 생성하는 것까지가 destination
+
+이 두 가지가 작동하면 끝. 그 이상은 별도 결정.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Q~Y 검토 = 이미 끝났음 (과거형)
+
+Phase Z 구현 갭을 메우기 위해 Phase Q~Y 의 코드/기능을 **이미 다 검토했고**, 참고할 만한 것들을 22-step 에 매칭해서 **이슈로 다 정리해놓은 상태**.
+
+- Q~Y 새로 다시 보지 않음 — 작업은 끝남
+- 결과물 = INSIGHT-MAP 문서 + 28 개 초기 IMP 이슈 (#1~#28)
+- 회귀 금지선 4 항목 (Q/R'/T 의 폐기된 path 로 돌아가지 않음) 도 [`PHASE-Q-INSIGHT-TO-22STEP-MAP.md §0`](PHASE-Q-INSIGHT-TO-22STEP-MAP.md) 에 같이 박혀있음
+
+이제 남은 일 = **정리된 이슈를 orchestrator 로 처리해서 Phase Z 에 반영하는 것**.
+
+---
+
+## 3. 그 검토 결과 = INSIGHT-MAP 문서
+
+**문서**: [`PHASE-Q-INSIGHT-TO-22STEP-MAP.md`](PHASE-Q-INSIGHT-TO-22STEP-MAP.md)
+
+Q~Y 검토 결과를 22-step 의 어느 step 에 어떤 부품을 가져올지 매핑해서 정리한 catalog. 섹션 구성:
+
+- §0: 목적 + 회귀 금지 4 항목 + Archive marker inventory (9 개)
+- §1: SoT read result + 22 Step status snapshot
+- §2: Salvage chained + new-make backend axes
+- §3: Reference / carve-out
+- §4: audit §1 lens column 정정
+- §5: Module duplication cleanup
+
+각 § cell 이 IMP 이슈로 1-to-1 분해됨.
+
+---
+
+## 4. IMP 이슈 = INSIGHT-MAP § cell 의 execution unit
+
+**초기 28 개 (2026-05-12 한 번에 생성, #1~#28)**:
+
+| INSIGHT-MAP § | 이슈 |
+|---|---|
+| §2 (Salvage chained + new-make backend) | #1~#11 (IMP-01~11: A-1~A-6, B-1~B-4, D-1, D-2) |
+| §3 (Reference / carve-out) | #12~#20 (IMP-12~20: A-3/A-4, B-2, AI fallback, frame contract 등) |
+| §4 (audit §1 lens column 정정) | #21~#25 (IMP-21~25: G2, I6, J5, K6, L5) |
+| §5 (Module duplication cleanup) | #26~#28 (IMP-26~28: J3, K5, L4) |
+
+**모든 IMP 이슈 본문에 표준 anchor**:
+```
+**관련 step**: Phase Z 22-step 좌표
+**source**: INSIGHT-MAP §X (Q~Y 부품 출처)
+**priority**: ↑ high / medium / ↓ low
+**scope**: 구체 작업
+**guardrails**: 깨면 안 되는 contract
+```
+
+**이후 추가된 이슈** (모두 source 명시):
+
+| 이슈 | source | 의미 |
+|---|---|---|
+| #38~#41 (IMP-29~32) | IMP-05 §5 defer + Codex 분석 | V4 fallback 후 frontend bridge / AI adaptation 등 |
+| #42 (IMP-04b) | IMP-04 milestone close 후 잔여 | Catalog 32 frames 확장 |
+| #43, #44 | MDX 03/04/05 작업 중 발견 | 프론트 작업에서 발견된 새 axis |
+| #45~#49 | #15 (Step 14 visual_check) decomposition | parent → 5 execution children |
+| #50 | governance audit | 초반 28 다수 close 후 INTEGRATION-AUDIT-01 |
+| #51~#54 | #50 audit 의 발견 (F-1~F-5) | follow-up 분리 처리 |
+| #55 | #20 closed 후 runtime defer | doc-axis closed, runtime 별도 |
+
+→ 추가 이슈도 모두 (관련 step, source, priority) 좌표로 anchor.
+
+---
+
+## 5. orchestrator 의 역할
+
+이슈 처리의 **disciplined executor**.
+
+**파일**: [`orchestrator.py`](../../orchestrator.py) (현재 line 수: ~1500)
+**테스트**: [`tests/orchestrator_unit/`](../../tests/orchestrator_unit/) (현재 94 케이스)
+
+**6 stage workflow**:
+1. problem-review — 문제 검토
+2. simulation-plan — 시뮬 기반 계획 수립 (IMPLEMENTATION_UNITS YAML 강제)
+3. code-edit — 코드 수정 / 이슈 분기
+4. test-verify — 테스트 및 검증
+5. commit-push — 커밋 및 푸쉬
+6. final-close — 최종 확인 / close
+
+**원칙**:
+- Claude (executor) + Codex (verifier) 양쪽 합의 + evidence required
+- 단일 LLM 의견 X
+- 매 stage 마다 dual-write (local draft + Gitea comment)
+- exit report = stage 완료의 binding contract
+
+**audit-only mode (P4/P4a)**:
+- 제목에 `[INTEGRATION-AUDIT-*]`/`[AUDIT-ONLY]` 또는 `--audit-only` CLI flag
+- Stage 3 에서 `src/`, `templates/`, `tests/` 변경 자동 reject (deterministic git diff guard)
+- Stage 5 commit 범위 = `docs/architecture/INTEGRATION-AUDIT-*.md` + `BACKLOG.md` 만 허용
+- audit 이슈는 fix 안 함 → follow-up 이슈로 분리
+
+---
+
+## 6. Audit cycle (meta-governance)
+
+이슈 진행으로 인한 누적 drift / 충돌 / 하드코딩 / 매핑 누락을 주기적으로 검증.
+
+**audit 자체는 코드 안 만짐**. 발견 사항은 별도 이슈로 분리해서 일반 workflow 로 처리.
+
+**현재까지**:
+- #50 INTEGRATION-AUDIT-01 (closed 2026-05-19)
+  - 산출: [`INTEGRATION-AUDIT-01-REPORT.md`](INTEGRATION-AUDIT-01-REPORT.md) + [`INTEGRATION-AUDIT-01-MATRIX.md`](INTEGRATION-AUDIT-01-MATRIX.md)
+  - 발견 F-1~F-5 → #51~#54 로 분리 (모두 closed)
+
+**다음 audit 시점 trigger**:
+- 닫힌 IMP 이슈가 일정 수 누적될 때 (5+ 연속)
+- debug.json schema / layout / frame contract / router / visual_check_passed 의미가 바뀔 때
+- 새 parent axis 진입 직전 (예: #19 → #20 → ...)
+- 큰 feature 축 (#42 catalog 확장 / #38~#41 frontend bridge) 완료 후
+
+---
+
+## 7. 도착점 도달 기준
+
+다음이 모두 작동해야 destination 도달:
+
+- [ ] 22-step pipeline end-to-end (Step 0~22 모두 contract 준수, 회귀 0)
+- [ ] AI 가 frame 을 zone fit 기준으로 평가 → 안 맞으면 reject
+- [ ] reject 후 AI 가 zone 에 맞춰 frame 생성
+- [ ] 하드코딩 0 (sample-specific 코드 없음 — anti-hardcoding mechanical check 통과)
+- [ ] 모든 IMP 이슈 backlog 의 closed / documented (deferred) / pending 분류가 [`PHASE-Z-IMPLEMENTATION-ISSUE-BACKLOG.md`](PHASE-Z-IMPLEMENTATION-ISSUE-BACKLOG.md) 와 code reality 일치
+
+---
+
+## 8. 자주 헷갈리는 것들 (anti-patterns — 하지 말 것)
+
+| 잘못된 framing | 옳은 framing |
+|---|---|
+| "Phase Q~Y heritage 를 보존한다" | Q~Y 는 부품 창고. 갭에 필요한 것만 선택적 참조 |
+| "MDX 03 잘 만들면 끝" | 재사용 가능한 pipeline contract 가 목표. 특정 샘플 최적화 X |
+| "audit 가 발견하면 그 자리에서 고친다" | follow-up 이슈로 분리. audit 자체는 코드 안 만짐 |
+| "Claude 가 좋다고 하면 OK" | Claude + Codex 합의 + evidence 필수 |
+| "이슈 본문은 참고일뿐" | 본문의 (관련 step, source, scope, guardrails) 가 binding anchor |
+| "Phase R / R' / Q 의 path 로 돌아가도 됨" | 회귀 금지선 4 항목 (INSIGHT-MAP §0) 절대 위반 X |
+| "destination 외 추가 기능도 욕심내자" | 22-step + AI frame generation 까지가 목표. 그 이상은 별도 결정 |
+| "문서에 박힌 dormant 항목은 자동 실행 안 됨" | L3 registry [`DORMANT-TRIGGERS.yaml`](DORMANT-TRIGGERS.yaml) + `scripts/check_dormant_triggers.py` 가 orchestrator Stage 4→5 transition 에서 informational alert 로 발화 (closed 이슈 #16/#17/#18/#19/#20 의 trigger-on-X contract) |

+## 10. 한 줄 요약
+
+> **Phase Z 가 "22-step pipeline + AI zone-fit frame generation" 까지 작동하는 것이 destination. Z 구현의 갭은 Phase Q~Y 를 부품 창고로 보고 선택적으로 참조해서 메움. INSIGHT-MAP 이 그 catalog, IMP 이슈가 execution unit. orchestrator 가 Claude + Codex 합의 + evidence 로 disciplined 하게 처리. INTEGRATION-AUDIT 가 주기적으로 누적 정합성 검증, 발견은 follow-up 이슈로 분리. 도착점은 22-step + AI frame generation 까지이고 그 이상은 별도 결정.**

+"""Catalog ↔ partial ↔ builder invariant audit CLI (IMP-#85 u3a / u3b).
+
+Offline audit of `templates/phase_z2/catalog/frame_contracts.yaml` against
+the on-disk frame partials and the runtime `PAYLOAD_BUILDERS` registry.
+
+Reports diff surface so first-fix iteration sees the entire catalog drift,
+not just the first failure (matches the boot-time invariant's aggregation
+behavior in `_check_catalog_builder_invariant`).
+
+Invariants (scope-locked per Stage 2):
+  I1 partial existence — `templates/phase_z2/families/{template_id}.html`
+                         must exist for live (non-VP) contracts.
+  I2 builder declared  — live contracts must declare a non-empty
+                         `payload.builder`.
+  I3 builder registered — declared builders must be members of
+                          `src.phase_z2_mapper.PAYLOAD_BUILDERS`.
+  I4 slot_payload refs  — every key generated by the contract's builder
+                          must appear as a `slot_payload.<key>` reference in
+                          the partial. Direction A only (dead generated key).
+                          Skipped when the partial uses dynamic bracket
+                          access (`slot_payload[...]`) — those refs cannot be
+                          resolved statically; the relevant generated keys
+                          are presumed reachable via the dynamic form.
+
+`visual_pending: true` contracts are skipped for I1–I4 (data-driven from
+catalog, no hard-coded frame allow-list; matches u2 invariant scope).
+
+Exit codes:
+  0 — all invariants pass on live (non-VP) contracts.
+  1 — one or more violations reported.

+"""IMP-51 (#79) u4 — user-content image stamper for Phase Z final.html.
+
+Annotates user-content ``<img>`` elements with a stable id + role
+attribute so the frontend SlideCanvas (u8~u11) can attach drag/resize
+handles and the backend CSS injector (u7) can re-apply persisted geometry
+on the next render.
+
+DOM selector contract (single point of truth shared across the axis) :
+
+    .slide img[data-image-role="user-content"]
+
+This selector is mirrored verbatim in :
+
+- ``Front/client/src/components/SlideCanvas.tsx`` (u8 handle attach target)
+- ``Front/client/src/services/userOverridesApi.ts`` (u3 doc reference)
+- ``src/phase_z2_pipeline.py`` u7 hook (CSS injector — pending unit)
+
+Decorative imgs (frame backgrounds, figma assets, dx-figures, decorative
+icons) are NOT stamped, so they are NOT matched by the selector and remain
+unaffected. The allowlist that decides "what counts as user-content" is
+passed in by the caller (typically ``stage0_normalized_assets["images"]``);
+this module does not encode the source-of-truth itself.
+
+Stable id contract :
+
+    image_id = "img-" + sha1(src)[:10]
+
+Deterministic across renders so persisted ``image_overrides`` entries
+(keyed on ``image_id`` per ``src/user_overrides_io.py`` u1) re-apply
+automatically. Duplicate srcs in the same slide get an ordinal suffix
+("-1", "-2", ...) appended in DOM order; the first occurrence has no
+suffix.
+
+Forward-compat : current Phase Z final.html emits zero user-content
+``<img>`` elements (``stage0_normalized_assets["images"]`` is empty across
+all recent verify runs). ``stamp_user_content_images(html, sources=())``
+is a pure no-op in that case — returns ``(html, [])`` without scanning.
+
+Guardrails :
+
+- No-hardcoding : the allowlist is caller-supplied, never inferred from
+  sample filenames or path heuristics.
+- Idempotent : stamping a previously-stamped tag is a no-op (the
+  ``data-image-role`` probe short-circuits before re-injecting).
+- AI-isolation : this module is pure deterministic Python; no LLM calls.
+- Carve-out (IMP-46 #62) : brand-new module, does not touch the
+  #76 commit ``1186ad8`` cache region.

+u3 invalidation contract (this module is a *comparator*, not a *computer*):
+
+* ``save_proposal`` persists the ``fingerprints`` dict supplied by the
+  caller verbatim. Cache.py never computes any fingerprint — the three
+  declared shas (``contract_sha`` / ``partial_sha`` / ``catalog_sha``) are
+  computed by callers from the live contract YAML / partial templates /
+  catalog payloads and handed in. Keeping the computation out of cache.py
+  preserves AI isolation (no Phase Z runtime knowledge in the cache
+  module) and keeps the cache schema-agnostic — additional fingerprint
+  axes can be added without editing cache.py.
+* ``read_proposal`` accepts an optional ``fingerprints`` kwarg. When
+  supplied, the stored ``fingerprints`` dict must equal the caller's dict
+  exactly (strict equality, NOT subset). Any mismatch — including a key
+  the caller demands but the stored entry lacks, OR a key the stored
+  entry has but the caller does not pass — returns ``None``. Default
+  ``fingerprints=None`` performs no comparison (back-compat for legacy
+  callers that have not yet adopted fingerprint-aware lookup).
+
+Guardrails (locked by Stage 2 plan):
+
+* Both write gates preserved — ``visual_check_passed=False`` always
+  raises ``AiFallbackCacheGateError`` BEFORE any filesystem touch.
+  ``user_approved=False`` also raises by default; the IMP-46 u5
+  ``auto_cache=True`` override bypasses ONLY the ``user_approved`` gate
+  (``visual_check_passed`` is never bypassed). Gate violation never
+  silently no-ops.
+* Missing or corrupt files cause ``read_proposal`` to return ``None`` —
+  the cache is a hint, never a hard dependency. Errors are not propagated
+  to callers because the AI fallback path can always recompute.
+* ``mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)`` is performed lazily on save.
+* No Anthropic / MDX / Phase Z runtime imports (AI isolation contract).
+* Cache root is held as a module-level :data:`CACHE_ROOT` so tests can
+  redirect writes via ``monkeypatch.setattr`` without subclassing.
+
+u5 auto-cache contract (CLI ``--auto-cache`` + ``settings.ai_fallback_auto_cache``):
+
+* ``save_proposal(..., auto_cache=True)`` only bypasses the
+  ``user_approved`` gate; ``visual_check_passed`` remains mandatory.
+* ``auto_cache`` is keyword-only and defaults to ``False`` — existing
+  callers (and the test suite) see the original dual-gate behaviour
+  unless they opt in explicitly.
+* The truth table over ``(visual_check_passed, user_approved, auto_cache)``
+  has eight cells; exactly three succeed:
+  ``(True, True, False)``, ``(True, True, True)``, and
+  ``(True, False, True)``. Every other cell raises
+  ``AiFallbackCacheGateError``.

+"""IMP-33 u8 + IMP-46 u4 — Step 12 AI repair wiring with structural cache key.
+
+Phase Z Step 12 = slot_payload (the runtime "light_edit / restructure" surface
+where AI-assisted frame-aware adaptation is allowed per IMP-17 carve-out).
+This module is the only call site that pipes Phase Z composition units into
+``src.phase_z2_ai_fallback.router.route_ai_fallback``. One structural gate
+preserves the AI isolation contract:
+
+* IMP-30 provisional gate — units with ``provisional=False`` are skipped
+  before any route classification. AI repair is reserved for first-render
+  invariant survivors (no rank-1 V4 evidence, recovered as provisional).
+
+Per IMP-47B u1+u2, the ``reject`` V4 label routes to
+``ai_adaptation_required`` (no longer ``design_reference_only``) and is
+admitted to the AI repair path; the legacy "reject gate" short-circuit is
+removed. Any unit whose ``route_hint`` is not ``ai_adaptation_required``
+still falls through to the catch-all ``route_not_ai_adaptation:<hint>``
+skip — that single gate continues to enforce the AI=0 normal path.
+
+Combined with the u7 router's flag-off + route-gate short-circuits, the
+default Phase Z run path performs zero AI calls (PZ-1). Save to cache is
+NOT performed here — that is the caller's responsibility AFTER
+``visual_check_passed=True`` AND ``user_approved=True`` (u6 IMP-46 gate).
+
+IMP-46 u4 — structural cache key + fingerprints
+------------------------------------------------
+
+The legacy ``cache_key`` was ``"{template_id}::{sorted(source_section_ids)}"``
+which leaked sample / section identity into the cache surface
+(no-hardcoding lock violation: structurally identical content with
+different MDX section ids would miss). u4 replaces it with
+``"{frame_id}::{signature_hash}"`` where ``signature_hash`` is the
+deterministic SHA256 over the 8 declared structural axes (see
+``src.phase_z2_ai_fallback.signature``). Per-unit signature inputs are
+read from unit attributes:
+
+* ``cardinality`` (int | None)         — also forwarded to ``v4_result``
+* ``layout_preset`` (str)
+* ``zone_position`` (str)
+* ``source_shape`` (str)               — bullet / paragraph / table / mixed
+* ``h3_count`` (int)
+* ``char_count`` (int)                 — bucketed via ``bucket_char_count``
+
+In parallel the three invalidation fingerprints
+(``contract_sha`` / ``partial_sha`` / ``catalog_sha``) are computed and
+attached to the record. The cache.py module remains a *comparator* — all
+fingerprint *computation* happens here (or via injected loaders) so the
+cache schema-agnostic contract is preserved. The router's existing
+``read_proposal(cache_key)`` continues to perform exact-match lookup only
+(fuzzy is deferred per Stage 2 plan); read-side fingerprint validation
+through the router is a follow-up axis.

+deterministic chain at ``src/phase_z2_pipeline.py:1994`` and
+``src/phase_z2_pipeline.py:4948``).
+
+Per IMP-17 carve-out (``docs/architecture/IMP-17-CARVE-OUT.md`` lines 16,
+40-44), AI repair at Step 17 is permitted ONLY after the full deterministic
+chain is exhausted AND popup escalation is exhausted AND a user-approved
+fallback budget remains. IMP-34 (zone resize + compact retry) and IMP-35
+(``details_popup_escalation``) are explicit prerequisites under the IMP-33
+out-of-scope contract — neither has landed yet. Therefore Step 17 AI repair
+is STRUCTURALLY BLOCKED at u9.
+
+This module:
+
+1. **SPECIFIES** the canonical overflow cascade order via
+   :data:`OVERFLOW_CASCADE_ORDER` — ``deterministic`` → ``popup`` →
+   ``ai_repair`` → ``user_override``. Downstream Step 17 consumers can rely
+   on this single source of truth.
+2. **KEEPS** Step 17 AI repair structurally blocked. The entry point
+   :func:`gather_step17_ai_repair_proposals` does NOT import
+   ``route_ai_fallback`` (u7), does NOT instantiate ``AiFallbackClient`` (u4),
+   and does NOT call any Anthropic API. Every unit is recorded with
+   ``skip_reason="step17_ai_blocked_imp_34_35_prerequisites_missing"`` so
+   the caller can distinguish "blocked by carve-out gate" from any other
+   skip path (e.g., u8 ``not_provisional`` / ``design_reference_only_no_ai``).
+
+Once IMP-34 + IMP-35 land AND a user-approved fallback budget is granted,
+this module will gain the actual ``route_ai_fallback`` wiring guarded by
+the cascade-stage conjunction. Today the gate is closed.

+# Runs AFTER the DETERMINISTIC stage exhausts and BEFORE the AI_REPAIR
+# cascade stage (canonical OVERFLOW_CASCADE_ORDER). Per unit:
+#
+#   1. Idempotency (q2): if a unit carries ``has_popup=True`` already,
+#      ``run_step17_popup_gate`` short-circuits with
+#      ``gate_status="idempotent_short_circuit"``. No duplicate plan,
+#      no re-routing. Re-running Step 17 on already-escalated units is
+#      safe — the gate emits a deterministic record per unit but does
+#      NOT re-stamp the plan or flip the marker. The persistence of
+#      ``has_popup`` and ``popup_escalation_plan`` on the unit itself
+#      (see step 4 below) is what makes the second call observe the
+#      stamp from the first call and short-circuit correctly.
+#   2. Classification: ``classification_for_unit(unit)`` returns the
+#      fit_classifier row associated with this unit (or ``None`` if the
+#      unit has no overflow on this run).
+#   3. Plan: ``plan_for_classification(cls)`` is the router u3 stub
+#      (``src.phase_z2_router.plan_details_popup_escalation``). Only
+#      the categories in ``POPUP_ESCALATION_CATEGORIES`` of the router
+#      surface (currently ``structural_major_overflow`` and
+#      ``tabular_overflow``) emit a feasible plan; anything else falls
+#      through to ``gate_status="infeasible_category"`` so the gate
+#      never silently escalates the wrong overflow shape.
+#   4. Feasible plan → record stamps ``popup_escalation_plan`` and
+#      flips ``has_popup=True`` in the returned record AND persists
+#      the same two fields on the unit via ``setattr`` (``unit.has_popup``
+#      and ``unit.popup_escalation_plan``). The unit-side persistence
+#      is the q2 idempotency contract: a second call to
+#      ``run_step17_popup_gate`` over the same unit reads
+#      ``unit.has_popup=True`` at step 1 and short-circuits before
+#      classification / plan callable invocation. The marker is also
+#      what u6 composition binding and u7 render wiring read from the
+#      unit downstream.
+#
+# AI isolation contract: NO Anthropic call inside this gate. The
+# deterministic split between popup body (full MDX) and preview
+# (summary/subset) is composed downstream from container px budgets
+# (q3 — preview_chars derives from container px telemetry already on
+# the retry_trace). The u4 AI hook (``gather_step17_popup_split_decisions``)
+# sits at the same cascade stage but is API-gated (``api_gated=True``)
+# and never invoked from this deterministic path. ``ai_called=False`` on

+#   We never re-summarize, never AI-call, never reorder. Char-budget cut
+#   would risk splitting CJK words mid-character — line-boundary cut is
+#   the closest deterministic surface to ``raw_content`` semantics
+#   (MDX paragraph / bullet boundaries).

+# Guardrails honored:
+#   - feedback_ai_isolation_contract — pure deterministic helper. No

+    into per-section singles, so child sections with non-reject rank-1 V4
+    evidence can flow through the normal use_as_is / light_edit / restructure
+    paths instead of being handed to IMP-47B (#76) as a single blob.
+
+    Stage 2 / u3 slice (current revision) :
+        u1 contract (detection scan + override skip + idempotent single-
+        exclusion) + u2 per-section Branch-1 rebuild (each rebuilt single
+        carries ``merge_type="single"`` + the section's OWN rank-1 V4
+        evidence via ``v4_lookup_fn`` + the section's original
+        ``raw_content`` from ``sections``) are both preserved. u3 adds the
+        gating + swap path :
+
+          1. **Coverage equality** — every child section in
+             ``source_section_ids`` MUST rebuild successfully. Any
+             ``section_not_found`` / ``no_v4_match`` rebuild result short-
+             circuits that merged unit to ``reason="incomplete_rebuild"``.
+          2. **Beneficial split** — at least one rebuilt single MUST have
+             ``label != "reject"`` (Stage 2 Q2 Codex YES — "≥1 section
+             gains non-reject frame"). Otherwise that merged unit short-
+             circuits to ``reason="no_beneficial_split"`` and IMP-47B (#76)
+             handles the merge directly.
+          3. **Layout cap (≤ 4 units)** — projected post-split unit count
+             (across ALL detected merges that would split) MUST be ≤ 4.
+             Otherwise EVERY would-be split is aborted with
+             ``reason="layout_cap_exceeded"`` (Stage 2 Q2 default — keep
+             merged, no partial split; v0 ``select_layout_preset`` supports
+             1~4 units max).
+          4. **Telemetry** — every single produced by an APPLIED split has
+             ``selection_path="resplit_from_merge"`` (Stage 1 Q3 YES,
+             additive field reuse — no schema add).
+          5. **Audit payload** — ``audit["applied"]`` reflects whether ANY
+             merge actually split. ``audit["split_units"]`` /
+             ``audit["skipped_units"]`` capture per-merge decisions.
+             ``audit["post_split_unit_count"]`` reflects the returned list
+             length. ``audit["post_split_layout_preset"]`` is filled via
+             ``select_layout_preset(out_units)`` when ``applied=True``,
+             None otherwise (u5 also re-derives in pipeline scope).
+
+        ``out_units`` is the post-resplit unit list (merged removed +
+        singles inserted, in original ordering). When no merge splits,
+        ``out_units`` is byte-identical to input ``units`` and
+        ``applied=False`` — the audit's ``skipped_reason`` becomes
+        ``"no_split_applied"``.
+
+    Detection signal (★ no-hardcoding, AI=0) :
+        ``merge_type ∈ {"parent_merged", "parent_merged_inferred"}``
+        AND ``label == "reject"``
+        AND ``len(source_section_ids) >= 2``
+
+        Signal uses only ``merge_type`` + ``label`` + section count — never
+        section_id, template_id, MDX filename, or sample identifier.
+
+    Override skip (Stage 2 Q1 — kwarg per Codex YES) :
+        ``section_assignment_override=True`` makes the helper a no-op. User-
+        driven ``zoneSections`` (#6 IMP-06) is the ground truth and must not
+        be second-guessed by an automatic re-split.
+
+    Idempotency (max_retry=1, Stage 2 lock) :
+        u2's rebuilt units carry ``merge_type="single"``, which is excluded
+        from the detection filter by construction. A second pass through
+        this helper finds nothing — no inner loop, no recursion.
+
+    Frame-swap guardrail (★ feedback_ai_isolation_contract) :
+        u2 rebuilds each child section's single from its OWN rank-1 V4
+        evidence via ``v4_lookup_fn``. The merged unit's parent /
+        representative ``template_id`` is discarded along with the merge

+"""IMP-52 (#80) u1 — user_overrides.json persistence layer (backend IO).
+
+Persists the CLI-wired override axes per MDX so a subsequent render
+auto-restores user choices without re-clicking. Source of truth = MDX-keyed
+file (stem of the MDX path), NOT ``data/runs/<run_id>/`` which mints a fresh
+run_id per ``/api/run`` invocation.
+
+Schema (5 axes; stable order; IMP-51 #79 u1 added ``image_overrides``):
+
+    {
+      "layout":          <string|null>,
+      "zone_geometries": {<zone_id>: {"x": float, "y": float, "w": float, "h": float}},
+      "zone_sections":   {<zone_id>: [<section_id>, ...]},
+      "frames":          {<unit_id>: <template_id>},
+      "image_overrides": {<image_id>: {"x": float, "y": float, "w": float, "h": float}}
+    }
+
+``image_id`` is the stable identifier emitted by the user-content image
+stamper (IMP-51 u4) and matched via the selector
+``.slide img[data-image-role="user-content"]``. Coordinates are
+percent-of-slide (zone-agnostic, slide-absolute) to match the SlideCanvas
+edit-mode handle conventions in IMP-51 u8~u11.
+
+``unit_id`` is the convention already used by ``--override-frame`` :
+``"+".join(source_section_ids)`` (e.g., ``"03-1"`` or ``"03-1+03-2"``).
+
+Behavior :
+- ``load(key)`` — file missing or corrupt → ``{}`` (warning to stderr on corrupt).
+- ``save(key, partial)`` — merges only the supplied axes onto the existing
+  file, preserving (a) unknown top-level keys (foreign-key preserve) and
+  (b) axes not present in the partial payload. Atomic write via tmp+rename.
+- ``override_path(key, root=None)`` — resolves the persistence path under
+  ``data/user_overrides/<key>.json``.
+
+Guardrails (refs : ``user_overrides_io`` Stage 2 lock) :
+- Deterministic code, no AI fallback.
+- ``key`` validation rejects path traversal / separators / dot-prefix.
+- ``save`` is a deep-shallow merge — per-axis dict mutation does not delete
+  prior keys unless caller passes ``None`` for that axis (explicit clear).

+# Phase Z Families — WIP Marker
+
+**Status:** intentionally untracked, uncontracted, out-of-scope for runtime matcher.
+**Closes audit follow-up:** INTEGRATION-AUDIT-01-REPORT.md §10.2 F-2 (option c).
+**Gate for promote/remove:** Gitea issue #42 (`IMP-04b Catalog extension to 32 frames`).
+
+## Baseline lock (2026-05-19)
+
+| Surface | Count | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `git ls-files templates/phase_z2/families/*.html` | 11 | tracked family templates |
+| `templates/phase_z2/catalog/frame_contracts.yaml` top-level keys | 11 | 1:1 with tracked basenames |
+| `Get-ChildItem templates/phase_z2/families/*.html` | 13 | tracked 11 + WIP 2 (below) |
+
+Active contracted family count = **11**. Tracked basenames ↔ `frame_contracts.yaml` top-level keys are set-equal. Drift between disk (13) and contracted (11) is fully explained by the 2 WIP files below.
+
+## WIP family templates (uncontracted)
+
+| File | Figma frame | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+
+> **#42 IMP-04b u3 (2026-05-21)** — frame 23 (`1171281203`) partial absorbed → `frame_contracts.yaml::app_sw_package_vs_solution`. Counts in `## Baseline lock (2026-05-19)` are historical (post-u3: 11 tracked + 1 WIP / 12 contract).
+> **#42 IMP-04b u4 (2026-05-21)** — frame 9 (`1171281180`) partial absorbed → `frame_contracts.yaml::pre_construction_model_info_stacked`. WIP family table now empty (post-u4: 13 tracked / 13 contract).
+
+These files are partials authored during Phase Z-2 MVP-1.5b exploration. They are **not** part of the contracted Phase Z runtime catalog and must not be enumerated by frame selection, matcher, or any Stage 3 pipeline surface.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Adding a file to `templates/phase_z2/families/*.html` without a matching `frame_contracts.yaml` entry is **only** permitted if it is named here as WIP.
+- `tests/test_family_contract_baseline.py` enforces this invariant: tracked families ↔ `frame_contracts.yaml` keys must be set-equal, modulo the WIP allowlist parsed from this file.
+- Promoting a WIP file (add `frame_contracts.yaml` entry + register with matcher) or removing it must happen under issue #42 or a follow-up issue, not silently.
+
+## References
+
+- `docs/architecture/INTEGRATION-AUDIT-01-REPORT.md` §10.2 F-2 (audit finding closed by issue #52, option c)
+- `docs/architecture/IMP-18-SVG-GAP-REPORT.md` L28, L51 (count basis corrected to `11 contracted + 2 WIP`)
+- Gitea issue #52 (this reconciliation)
+- Gitea issue #42 (pre-flight gate for promote/remove)

+# CLAUDE.md — 매칭 시스템 작업 컨텍스트
+
+이 파일은 Claude (AI) 가 `tests/` 디렉토리에서 작업할 때 참고하는 컨텍스트입니다.
+프로젝트 루트의 [../CLAUDE.md](../CLAUDE.md) 와 함께 사용.
+
+## 작업 디렉토리
+
+- 메인 작업 디렉토리: `tests/matching/`
+- 데이터 / 보고서 파일도 같은 위치
+- 실행 시 항상 `tests/matching/` 에서 (스크립트 내부 상대 경로 의존)
+
+## 시스템 개요
+
+MDX 콘텐츠 ↔ Figma Frame 32 개를 매칭하는 4 단계 파이프라인 (V1~V4).
+상세는 `README.md` / `PLAN.md` / `PROGRESS.md` 참조.
+
+## 절대 규칙
+
+### 1. 하드코딩 금지 (사용자 강조 사항)
+- 결과물을 직접 고치지 말고 **프로세스/코드를 고쳐라**
+- 임의 데이터 삽입 금지 (예: DECK 04 의 "제목·A 라벨·B 라벨·행 데이터" placeholder 사용 금지)
+- 모든 표시값은 실제 코드 결과 (yaml / 함수 출력) 에서 가져와야 함
+
+### 2. 사용자 직접 수정 보존
+- 사용자가 HTML 파일을 직접 편집한 경우 **반드시 pipeline 코드에 반영** 후 재생성
+- 코드만 고치고 재실행하면 사용자 수정이 사라짐
+- 변경 시: 사용자 수정 8 개 모두 코드에 반영 → 재실행
+
+### 3. 정직한 코드 동작 표시
+- 임원 보고용 deck 라도 **코드의 한계를 솔직히 표시**
+- 예: "MDX 자동 분석 결과 — 정책/요구사항 (사람이 보면 행렬형 비교)" 같은 표기
+- "이 축은 사실 frame 매칭에 영향 없음" 같은 ablation 결과는 임원용에는 빼지만, 내부 문서 (PROGRESS.md) 에는 명시
+
+### 4. 임원 보고용 톤
+- 영문 enum 코드 (`policy_requirements`) 직접 노출 금지 — 한글 (정책/요구사항) 우선
+- 매칭 키워드는 5~10 개 + "등 N 개" 로 축약
+- 디자인: 그라데이션 / 화려한 카드 금지. 단순 표 + 흑백 + 강조 색 1~2 가지
+- 정의 / 부연 설명 최소화 (def 는 한 줄, 길게 풀어 쓰지 말 것)

+| `samples/mdx_batch/**` , `samples/mdx/**` | 존재 | 통합 스모크 입력 | `tests/**` 에서만 참조 가능. `src/**` 런타임 경로 하드코딩 금지. |
+
+규칙 :
+
+- 테스트 코드에서는 `samples/mdx_batch/02.mdx` 같은 샘플 MDX 를 직접 참조해도 됨 (예 : `tests/phase_z2/test_pz2_vu_integration.py`). `src/**` 런타임 입력은 절대 샘플 파일명 / 콘텐츠를 핀하지 말 것.
+- 새 YAML 회귀 픽스처는 `tests/phase_z2/fixtures/` 아래 새 서브디렉토리로 추가. 루트 `tests/fixtures/` 신설은 금지 (별도 이슈 필요).
+- `src/**` 안에 등장하는 "BIM" / "건설산업 DX" / "재구성" 같은 sample-like 리터럴은 INTEGRATION-AUDIT-01 §10.4 (F-4) 에서 의도된 docstring / glossary / 예시 dict 로 분류 완료. annotation marker 가 붙어 있으면 의도된 example. 새 sample 리터럴을 `src/**` 에 도입하지 말 것.
+- 본 컨벤션의 anchor 정의는 `docs/architecture/INTEGRATION-AUDIT-01-REPORT.md` §10.5.1. 변경 시 anchor 부터 갱신.
+
+## 자주 헷갈리는 것
+
+### 영문 enum vs 한글 매핑
+- 코드 / yaml: 영문 enum (`comparative_matrix`, `cycle_interrelation`)
+- 보고서 표시: 한글 (`행렬형 비교`, `순환/상호 관계`)
+- DECK 05 의 키워드 사전 표는 양쪽 다 표시 (사용자 매칭 가능)
+
+### 항목수 vs 슬롯 후보 개수
+- **동일** — `item_count = len(slot_candidates)` (표 / subsections / bullets 어떤 형태든)
+- V4 의 cardinality 축과 slot.within 부분은 **같은 신호의 중복 가중** (ablation 으로 확인)
+
+### V3 vs V4 구조 점수
+- V3 = layout family + content_affinity + structure_intent (3 축)
+- V4 = anchor + cardinality + relation + slot + content (5 축)
+- **다른 모델**. V3 점수와 V4 confidence 는 별도 계산
+
+## 사용자가 강조한 피드백
+
+- "코드로 돌린 결과물이지 임의 데이터 아님" — 모든 표시 정직
+- "임원 보고용이야" — 부정적 부연 / 디테일 산식 빼기
+- "한가지만 해" — 한 번에 한 가지만 변경
+- "모든 변경은 pipeline 코드에 반영" — HTML 직접 수정은 일시적
+
+## 진행 중 발견된 약점
+
+`PROGRESS.md` 의 "발견된 약점" 표 참조. 8 개 모두 Phase E 작업 대상.
+
+가장 시급:
+1. **02-2.2 매칭 실패** (E.5)
+2. **MDX 분석 LLM 화** (E.1, E.2)
+3. **슬롯 의미 매핑** (E.3, E.4)

+"""IMP-#85 u7 — pytest env isolation for src.config defaults.
+
+This conftest.py runs BEFORE any test module is imported by pytest.
+Setting ``os.environ["AI_FALLBACK_*"]`` here overrides values that the
+live ``.env`` file would otherwise inject through ``pydantic-settings``
+(priority: init args > os.environ > env_file). The ``src.config``
+module-level ``settings = Settings()`` singleton is therefore built
+against the test-clean environment when src.config is first imported
+during test collection.
+
+Scope (per Stage 2 plan u7):
+  * Restore the default-OFF contract for ``ai_fallback_enabled`` so
+    ``tests/test_phase_z2_ai_fallback_config.py`` and
+    ``tests/test_imp47b_step12_ai_wiring.py`` (which lock the
+    flag-off short-circuit) match the source-of-truth default in
+    ``src/config.py``.
+  * Restore the default-OFF contract for ``ai_fallback_auto_cache``.
+
+Out of scope:
+  * Touching ``ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`` / ``KEI_API_URL`` / ``LOG_LEVEL``.
+  * Resetting the ``src.config.settings`` singleton mid-session.
+    Tests that need to flip ``settings.ai_fallback_enabled`` at

+    tests/test_imp47b_step12_ai_wiring.py
+    tests/test_phase_z2_ai_fallback_config.py
+
+That gate's binding contract (Stage 2 u11 lock) is that those four
+registered known-red tests STAY RED until a follow-up issue
+deregisters them. If this conftest blindly forces
+``AI_FALLBACK_ENABLED=false`` in the gate's subprocess, the
+``test_ai_fallback_master_flag_default_off`` registered red flips
+green and the invariance gate trips — a real cross-issue contract
+conflict (see Codex #8 Stage 3 verification of IMP-#85 u7).
+
+The carve-out below detects that exact subprocess signature
+(positional ``.py`` targets are entirely baseline-area files) and
+skips env isolation, leaving the gate's child process in its native
+``.env``-loaded state. Every other pytest invocation — full-suite
+``pytest -q tests``, the IMP-#85 smoke targets, single-file dev runs
+on non-baseline files — still gets the default-OFF isolation.
+
+Per ``feedback_demo_env_toggle_policy``: demo activation belongs in
+``.env`` only. The override below is test-scoped (lives under
+``tests/``) and never propagates into ``src/`` or ``vite.config``.

+# IMP-47A — mdx03 frontend stabilization manual e2e
+
+Scope: frontend-only. Backend pipeline must NOT be modified during this test.
+Path under test: `mdx=03` (default sample loaded on page open).
+
+## Preconditions
+
+- Backend running on `http://localhost:8001` (`uvicorn src.main:app --port 8001`).
+- Frontend dev server running (`cd Front && npm run dev`).
+- Working tree at IMP-47A Stage 3 HEAD (u1+u2+u3 applied to `Front/client/src/components/SlideCanvas.tsx`, `Front/client/src/services/designAgentApi.ts`, `Front/client/src/pages/Home.tsx`).
+- Browser opens `http://localhost:5173/?mdx=03` (or default route, which auto-loads `mdx=03`).
+
+## Section 1 — iframe rendering (axis 1)
+
+Goal: verify u1 sandbox change lets `slide_base.html` script apply `html.embedded` class so the slide is not clipped inside the iframe.
+
+Steps:
+1. Open the app; wait for `mdx=03` auto-load and initial `final.html` render.
+2. Click the "슬라이드 플랜 생성하기" button; wait for `run "<id>" 완료` toast.
+3. Open browser DevTools → Elements; locate the iframe inside `SlideCanvas`; switch context to the iframe document.
+4. Confirm `<html class="embedded">` is present (not just `<html>`).
+5. Confirm the rendered slide content fills the 1280×720 frame with no top padding offset and no clipping at the bottom.
+
+Pass: `html.embedded` class present AND no visible vertical shift/clipping.
+Fail signal: iframe content pushed downward, footer cut off, or `html` lacks `embedded` class (means script never ran → sandbox regression).
+
+## Section 2 — multi-source frame candidates (axis 2)
+
+Goal: verify u2 3-source merge surfaces candidates from `candidate_evidence`, `v4_all_judgments`, and `v4_candidates` with deterministic dedup and cap.
+
+Steps:
+1. After Section 1 success, click any zone in the canvas; right panel switches to the "frame" tab.
+2. In the frame candidate list, count visible candidates. Expect ≤ `TOP_N_FRAMES` (=6).
+3. Open DevTools → Network → reload `/api/run/<id>`; inspect the JSON response and confirm at least two of `candidate_evidence`, `v4_all_judgments`, `v4_candidates` are non-empty.
+4. Cross-check: union of `template_id ?? id ?? frame_id` keys from all three arrays (deduped, capped at 6) equals the UI list count and order.
+5. Confirm the order respects LABEL_PRIORITY (`use_as_is` < `light_edit` < `restructure` < `reject`) then descending confidence.
+
+Pass: union/dedup/cap/order all match.
+Fail signal: only candidates from a single source visible, duplicates by template_id, more than 6 items, or order violates LABEL_PRIORITY.
+
+## Section 3 — frame / layout override regeneration (axis 3)
+
+Goal: verify u3 5-dep `handleGenerate` callback delivers the latest override state to backend (no stale closure).
+
+Steps:
+1. From Section 2, pick a non-default frame candidate (one whose label is not `use_as_is`); click "이 프레임 적용".
+2. Confirm bottom-left button transforms to "선택대로 재생성하기" with amber pulse dot (hasPendingChanges = true).
+3. Without any extra clicks, click "선택대로 재생성하기".
+4. Open DevTools → Network → inspect the POST `/api/pipeline` body; confirm `overrides.frames` contains the chosen `{unit_id: frame_id}` mapping.
+5. After success toast, confirm new `run_id` differs from the previous run, and the rendered iframe reflects the chosen frame (frame DOM class / id matches selection).
+6. Repeat with a layout-card "적용하기" → pending overlay enters → "선택대로 재생성하기"; confirm POST body includes `overrides.layout` with the chosen preset id.
+
+Pass: every override (frames / layout / zoneSections / zoneGeometries when applicable) reaches backend on first click; new `run_id` returned.
+Fail signal: POST body lacks the override, or backend re-renders with the previous selection (stale closure regression).
+
+## Section 4 — pending overlay enter / cancel / clear (axis 4)
+
+Goal: verify pendingLayout overlay enters on "적용하기", exits on "취소", and auto-clears on successful regenerate.
+
+Steps:
+1. Click any non-current layout card "적용하기" button.
+2. Confirm amber dashed overlay appears over `.slide-body` area with `PENDING BODY LAYOUT` label and chosen layout id.
+3. Confirm "취소" button (top-right of canvas) is visible.
+4. Click "취소"; confirm overlay disappears, `userSelection` resets, and `hasPendingChanges` indicator clears.
+5. Re-enter pending mode (apply a layout again), this time click "선택대로 재생성하기"; confirm overlay disappears on success (Home.tsx clears `pendingLayout` + `hasPendingChanges` before pipeline call) and the new `final.html` renders inline (no overlay).
+
+Pass: enter → cancel → re-enter → regenerate cycle leaves no overlay, no stuck pending state, no leftover `hasPendingChanges` flag.
+Fail signal: overlay persists after regenerate, button stays in amber state, or cancel does not restore the canvas.
+
+## Section 5 — mdx03 end-to-end pass (axis 5)
+
+Goal: smoke run combining Sections 1–4 in one session to validate mdx03 demo path.
+
+Steps:
+1. Fresh reload `http://localhost:5173/?mdx=03`.
+2. Click "슬라이드 플랜 생성하기" → wait for run completion → confirm iframe renders cleanly (Section 1 pass).
+3. Click any zone → inspect 2+ candidates in frame list (Section 2 pass).
+4. Apply a non-default frame → "선택대로 재생성하기" → new run id + iframe reflects override (Section 3 pass).
+5. Apply a non-default layout → confirm overlay → "선택대로 재생성하기" → overlay clears (Section 4 pass).
+6. Capture: run_id chain, final.html path under `data/runs/<run_id>/final.html`, and DOM screenshot of the rendered iframe content.
+
+Pass: all five sections green, no console errors, no toast errors, three distinct `run_id`s produced across the session.
+Fail signal: any earlier section regression OR backend pipeline failure (out-of-scope for IMP-47A — log separately).
+
+## Out of scope (not tested here)
+
+- AI fallback activation in `Step 12` (`light_edit` / `restructure`) — IMP-47B.
+- Frame cache (#62 / IMP-46).
+- mdx04 / mdx05 path-specific axes.
+- Automated Playwright e2e replacement — future work.
