## Observation

A review agent focuses on deletion, simplification, and architectural fit after implementation, acknowledging that generation throughput needs an explicit quality counter-loop.

## Why it matters

This dated record adds public evidence to the verification bandwidth is the scarce resource, goal scoped loops replace manual continuation analysis and keeps the claim auditable as the underlying products and practices change.

## Provenance

Normalized from QWG AI Telegram message 2438. The original Russian-language record remains available at https://t.me/qwgai/2438.
