Final phase: Review implementation with adversarial agents, commit changes, complete task, and record reflection.
BEFORE reporting to user, verify ALL actions completed:
Combines REVIEWER (adversarial code review) and DOCUMENTER (commit, complete, reflect).
YOU CANNOT SKIP ANY OF THESE for APPROVE or CONDITIONAL outcomes.
If REJECT, stop after review, set frontmatter to phase: rework, and return to /apex:implement.
You can find active tasks in ./apex/tasks/ or run with:/apex:ship [identifier]
Load task file and begin review.
Contract rules:
- Final report MUST map changes to AC-* and confirm no out-of-scope work
- If scope/ACs changed during implement, ensure amendments are recorded with rationale and version bump
Review for security vulnerabilities. Return YAML with id, severity, confidence, location, issue, evidence, mitigations_found.
Review for performance issues. Return YAML findings.
Review for architecture violations and pattern consistency. Return YAML findings.
Review for test coverage gaps. Return YAML findings.
Review for maintainability and code quality. Return YAML findings.
WAIT for ALL 5 agents to complete before Phase 2.
Challenge EVERY finding for:
- Code accuracy (did Phase 1 read correctly?)
- Pattern applicability (does framework prevent this?)
- Evidence quality (Strong/Medium/Weak)
- ROI Analysis:
- fix_effort: trivial | minor | moderate | significant | major
- benefit_type: security | reliability | performance | maintainability | correctness
- roi_score: 0.0-1.0 (benefit / effort ratio)
- override_decision: pull_forward | keep | push_back
- override_reason: [Why changing priority]
Return: challenge_result (UPHELD|DOWNGRADED|DISMISSED), evidence_quality, recommended_confidence, roi_analysis
Use git history to find justifications for seemingly problematic patterns.
Return: Context justifications for historical code choices.
WAIT for both agents to complete.
If task modified API or CLI:
- API documentation files
- CLI command documentation
- Usage examples in docs
If task modified data structures:
- Type definition docs
- Schema documentation
- Migration notes if breaking change

You MUST record a final reflection. This is NOT optional.
Without reflection:
- Learnings aren't captured
- Pattern outcomes aren't recorded
- Future tasks don't benefit

### Reflection
- **Outcome**: success | partial | failure
- **Key Learning**: [Main lesson from this task]
- **Patterns Used**: [PAT:ID from plan] with outcome notes
- **New Patterns / Anti-patterns**: [If discovered]
- **Evidence**: [Commit SHA, files, tests]<ship>

</ship>BEFORE reporting to user, verify ALL actions completed:
- Phase 1 review agents launched and returned?
- Phase 2 challenge agents launched and returned (with ROI analysis)?
- Documentation checklist completed?
- Contract verification completed (AC mapping + out-of-scope check)?
- Git commit created? (verify with git log -1)
- Reflection recorded in
